Ghost in the Shell is a legendary anime franchise that explored themes of artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and the nature of consciousness. This series is set in a futuristic world where technology is so advanced that it can be used to integrate human minds with cybernetic bodies. The lead of Ghost in the Shell is Major Motoko Kusanagi, a highly skilled cyborg who is employed by Public Security Section 9, a counter-cyberterrorism organization. As a full-body cyborg with only her brain remaining human, Motoko grapples with her sense of self and what it means to be human. Hiya Toys is diving into the action and psychology of this deadly cyborg as they bring Ghost in the Shell to their 6" Exquisite Super Series.
This figure of Major Motoko Kusanagi comes from the 2005 series Stand Alone Complex, as she and her team investigate cybercrime and terrorism. This figure is packed with impressive detail with three head sculpts, a variety of swappable hands, two guns, a knife, and a nice articulated display stand. The Major is nicely animated, and a release like this is a big win for anime fans, with The Major coming in at $89.99. Pre-orders are already live online through Hiya Toys, with the 1/12 Motoko Kusanagi releasing in Q2 2025.
