Medicom Toy Adds Neo from The Matrix to the MAFEX Line
The bullet-dodging pose is the image most people attach to The Matrix, and Medicom is selling the effect parts and the wired cloth coat as the answer to it.

Medicom Toy is adding Neo from The Matrix to its MAFEX action figure line. The figure stands about 16 cm and includes three swappable heads: one with sunglasses, one with sunglasses and gritted teeth, and one without sunglasses. The cloth coat has wire framing. Weapons from the film are included, along with bullet trajectory effect parts and a stand for the bullet-dodging lean-back scene. It is priced at 14,080 yen and scheduled for release in July 2027.
The coat is cloth rather than molded plastic, and it carries wire framing so the lean can be set and held. Three heads ship in the box: sunglasses, sunglasses with gritted teeth, and no sunglasses. The gun loadout from the film is included, and the bullet trajectory parts come with a dedicated stand so the dodge can be displayed on its own.
Prototyping is credited to Masato Ohata and PERFECT-STUDIO, with Kyoichi Shimazaki on the head. Medicom Toy sets the price at 14,080 yen including tax and a July 2027 release. The photos are of a sample under development.
