Ultra Jump, the manga serial in which Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) Last Order is currently running, announced on their website today plans to produce a special edition Gunnm Gaiden (“side stories”) manga volume complete with Masaki Apsy-sculpted Gally (Alita) action figure. Price, release date, and preorder availability have not yet been announced, but as a fan of action figures of characters that move like action figures (with a special weakness for kickass female cyborgs) this is an item I’ll be watching very, very closely. Pictures below:
That figure looks kickin’!!!
Hopefully it’ll be cheap, somewhat in the 20-30 dollar range.
Gunnm is one of my favourite manga of all times, and that figure looks really sweet. Speaking of which, I wonder how the shooting for James Cameron’s live action version of this manga is coming along…
Very nice. I love Gunnm, and would totally take an Alita figure anyday. The action figure actually looks like it has potential to be rather decent. I’ve never been a fan of action figures due to their low quality, but I don’t think I’ll be able to pass up on this.
As to how exactly I’m going to land my hands on this… that will be something to think about.
I would Panzer Kunst somebody to death for that figure.
As for Cameron’s Gunnm movie, that’s scheduled for after his Avatar movie, so it should be coming out the fifth of never.
‘A’ WANT. VERY WANT.
