Kotobukiya is re-releasing the plastic model "Tachikoma with Motoko Kusanagi & Batou" from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Reservations close September 15, with release scheduled for April 2027 at 4,950 yen.
Kotobukiya is bringing back the Tachikoma plastic model from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, this time bundled with figures of the series' main characters. The 1/35 scale kit balances the Tachikoma's comical look with mechanical detail, including a precisely sculpted exterior and a reproduced cockpit interior.
The rear and top hatches open without replacement parts, so the included unpainted Motoko Kusanagi figure can sit in a boarding posture inside. Pulling out the grenade launcher breech lets builders remove the barrel cover and load shell parts, and swapping parts recreates the scene of injecting natural oil. The head sensor moves on a ball joint, and replacement parts make the kit compatible with the Mechanical Base Flying 3.
Optional parts include a 12.7mm gatling gun, an unpainted standing Batou figure, and a sitting Miki figure that can be placed on the Tachikoma's head. Reservations run until September 15, with the kit priced at 4,950 yen and scheduled for release in April 2027.
