Yamato Unveils VMF - Variable Motion Figures

Torrance, CA, April 15, 2008 - This Summer, action has a new name... Yamato is exceptionally pleased to present its latest collection, vmf (variable motion figure). vmf is a new style of large-scale action figure that strikes a perfect balance of form and function with multiple points of articulation (including an ingenious use of soft, flexible ATBC-PVC for partial articulated points); interchangeable parts; and exquisite, life-like sculpting. First in the series is everyone's favorite heroine, Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. One-seventh scale, Motoko stands approximately 9.00", features 16 points of articulation, interchangeable wrists, removable jacket, and themed weaponry (Seburo M-5 / Seburo C-26A with silencer), all packaged in a collector's style window box.
