I bought the german grey version off ebay for $104 shipped.

It is a really cool figure, she has a few extra hands, two guns with clips and two sets of shoulder armor. The stand works suprisingly well. Nothing felt cheap and the figure itself doesnt seem fragile. I did have a small part come loose off the gun case, but it didn't break, the glue came loose, I'm just goig to use a drop of glue to fix it.

here you go:

I have the dragon models "male" jin roh panzer cop, and that goes for a premium on ebay now. I've debating getting the cool girls version.

The GITS pics are mainly for you Primal, but I figure the rest of you would appreciate them...

Sam, where else besides eBay where can you find these? I like the shock trooper looking ones. What is MSRP on these baddies????

Holy cow.......these are nice........I feel a new addiction coming on.............

Do you have yours out or do you leave it in the box??

m,

Mine are in the box, only cause I just moved and haven't displayed them yet. besides ebay, check out:

www.justbecomplex.com

www.action-hq.com

Action-hq.com is probably your best place, the downside is, they are all in the $100 range. :(

I'm really thinking I may pick up that jin roh piece, it's pretty sweet.

Licenced figure, low quantities. The Hot Toys Aliens figures run about the same price.

Hey Sam your first Jin Roh Male soldier, is he articulated or is that just his pose? I remember we talked about the cool girls a while back they looked dope as hell too.

he's superarticulated, and all the armor and weaponry is removeable just like the cool girl one. if you are familiar with the dragon military figures, their jin roh figure is just like that. Word. I'll try and find pics.

Cool beans! I like the look of plastic (I take it's just that) with different kinds of cloth, makes it look that extra above a normal action figure if you ask me. I have an el cheapo action figure (small one) of the trooper as well and it looks pretty cool, unfortunately the silly bugger keeps tipping over. I take it this figure is sturdier on its feet?

I doubt it. The Jin Roh 12" and the GITS 12" are hard to beat as far as quality goes...

I own the german grey version, and I recommend it too. Only drawback is that the cute doll face is fully hidden under the helmet, if you want her to wear it (and you probably do). ..unless you play with your dolls, dressing them up all the time.
But I guess we all don't play with our (well, that kind of) toys since we got our first pubic hair.
