Almost 2 decades since GitS Stand Alone Complex has aired and ever since there have already been plenty of Major Motoko merchandise available including the action figure. However a proper action figure for Major Motoko in her iconic getup of Leotard + Jacket have been rather scarce to this day even if there were any it was likely coming in limited run. Then recently another Manufacturer called Hiyatoys is trying to fill in the demand gap with their 1/12 Action Figure take on this particular iconic version of Major Motoko. Scheduled for June 2025 Release, 1/12 Motoko Kusanagi will be sold for 90 USD or 14500 Yen Price tag.
Given the track record of Hiyatoys which specialised ini Movie Action Heroes and Kaiju based products, their take on Motoko Kusanagi is quite a miss. While the gimmicks and accessories which include removable jackets are more than good enough, The action figure for the Motoko are still too stiff and lack the overall "smoothness" that the Figma rendition that other versions of Motoko had. This is quite expected given the lack of experience that Hiya Toys had for female action figures and It would have been better If they had built up some more experience before tackling on this best version of Motoko. Since I just got into Cyberpunk series recently, I think GiTS would benefit alot if they ever get a collab with this massive series which hopefully CD Projekt could whip up some quality products for the next title.
