Leona Ozaki (Dominion: Tank Police)

Postby Geektopian » Mon Mar 07, 2011 4:34 pm

When I was first getting back into anime, back in the days of old, I rented most of the videos I could find that were based on Masamune Shirow's various manga works. Dominion: Tank Police was one of the first I rented and while it's a bit goofy by today's standards, I still like it.

A few years ago, I discovered that a company called Daiwa Toy had made a series of figures of the main female characters from this story; police officer Leona Ozaki and former rivals, now fellow officers, Anapuma and Unipuma. Even more interesting, these dolls were all based on the original (hard torso) Obitsu Normal Body. A few weeks ago, I discovered that, not only were these figures still available but that HobbyLink Japan was having a 50% off sale on them. Even with the discount, I couldn't afford all three but I at least managed to buy Leona! Anyway, here are a couple photos I took of her and I *might* get around to posting more about her on my blog later on.

It would be kind of cool to have a 1/6 scale version of Bonaparte but I probably wouldn't be able to afford it!

Now that I have a couple versions of Motoko Kusanagi and this figure of Leona, I still need to find a version of Deunan Knute. The Hot Toys and Takara versions are both OK but WAAAAAY more than I care to pay for a 1/6 scale doll, when I can find them.

I have a lot of Motoko Kusanagi action figures, Ghost in the Shell was my first anime that I ever owned. Would be cool to have a Deunan figure let me know if you find any good ones.
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.
