Max Factory has announced a fully painted 1/7 scale figure of Motoko Kusanagi, based on her original manga appearance in Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell. The sculpt depicts the Major in her classic form from the manga, bringing the character’s cybernetic design into three-dimensional form with attention to proportion and line detail. Standing approximately 30 centimetres tall, this version reflects the distinct look and tone of the original printed work.

Specifications

The 1/7 scale Motoko Kusanagi figure measures around 30 centimetres in height and focuses on the manga’s visual design rather than later anime adaptations. Sculpting highlights the technical precision of her cybernetic frame, paired with layered paintwork that differentiates metallic and organic textures. The base is designed with a clean industrial motif consistent with the world of Ghost in the Shell.
