Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite anime, but it also features a very interesting "tank" which was named the Tachikoma. While a lot of plastic models are available for fans, Bandai will sell in Japan starting from February a remote controlled Tachikoma, that will be connected to your computer (via USB). Basically, your Tachikoma will be able to read you your email, to move, to start applications, and you will even be able to play with it thanks to some mini games that Bandai developed for it... Well I can honestly tell you that I am looking forward to seeing this little wonder in action in February.
Gimmicks include:
- Fully articulated
- movable eye sensor
- LED lights
- Sound effects
- USB connection with PC
Apparently you install a CD-Rom onto your PC and then connect the USB cable. You can then get a Tachikoma on your computer that you can customize, have read messages to you, and play games!
Due February 2008, the Dennou Chogokin Tachikoma will retail for 13,440 Yen
