>>7968525I actually like the design that much. It's not that crazy of a concept that design alone is what sells it to some people. Most of my collection is stuff I'm familiar with or watched heavily back then but sometimes there's a figure or two that actually got me to order based on design and looks cool on their own. I get that you want to base your purchasing decision on stuff you're familiar with and have a connection to but sometimes that one character is too cool to pass up.
>You can't tell me you were completely oblivious to the character of kusanagi thoughI would've stuck with the original design release and not the movie but even if it was a "generic female stealth soldier" I would still order because the suit and visor combo is too cool to me. Also if I didn't read Dorohedodo before and just saw this and hear a figma is coming with photos of it painted to boot, I definitely would order the cool lizard guy with the knife even if he was just a random character in the background. Design sometimes rules over knowing the original material beforehand.
