Synthetic Leather gives me goose bumps.

But it's Ghost In The Shell, Snatcher cool, but i'm guessing it's a small company so availability will be ultra limited, price would probably cost $300 for those barebones.

its $120 not including shipping.

they postponed the preorder to a later date, is cool to see they recognize they had to get some detailsl set better raher than offer it when they are not 100% set on all the details.

"Postponement for the pre-order date.

Well, after looking at our current state of preparation, we strongly feel that it’s best to postpone the pre-order.

The two main factors for the postponement are; the final check for the EMS rates during Lunar New Year holiday period in the Asian regions, and exhibitor booth preparations for the Winter Wonder Festival coming up next week, which is our main job, is keeping our hands tied up for the moment (Although Toa Heavy Ind. will not be exhibiting).

This decision wasn’t easy to make, but it’s the best way to ensure that we can be adequately prepared if any problems arise.

We apologize to all of you who are eagerly waiting for the pre-orders to open, but please bear with us as we do our utmost to make your shopping experience the best it can be."- 1000toys

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

Do they ship by SAL? I hope they use old skool medicom minimalist cardbox type pakaging, instead of those unecessarily big Boxes HT, EB & Sideshow like to use. Would cut down shipping cost, storage space & reduce potential damage during shipment.

Did they mention if it'd be 1000 unit runs or mass production?

This pic convinced me I NEED one:


I didn't remember seeing Indra in any of the comics but maybe I forget it's been a long time. Either way I like that Indra figure a lot and want to see the helmet down.

Seems like they will ship via EMS.

Also, from them

"5. Is the item limited in numbers?
→Yes, the item will be a limited production run.

6. Are there going to be any re-issues?
→Yes, there will be re-issues if the initial release sells out. Please show us your support!!!"

Glad they postponed to after the Chinese New Year.

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

if it sells well they say they'll do other runs of the figure.

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

Why is indra so much taller than this figure in the photo?
IS this artificial human 12 inches tall?

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

Really wish they'd ship by registered airmail or SAL. EMS cost too much, unless the weight is over 2kg then it might be cheaper. But under 1kg EMS is pretty costly.

They are Japanese company or Chinese?

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

You need AT LEAST One. If the shipping is good may consider 2. They are pretty much like Binary Domain, Snatcher androids.

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

Awesome, I think I will try to get my hands on one.

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

Dont know this character but I appreciate the design. Might get this just because of the good price and the overal presence of the figure. This is really great looking and might be a cool stand alone piece.

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

pushed the date back again, to work out some issues. glad to see they want the sale to go as smooth as possible. happy to wait.


"About the pre-order start date
The pre-order for the TOA Heavy Industries 「1/6 Synthetic Human」 was scheduled to start on the 28th Feb, at 11am JST, but due to a system bottleneck with PayPal which we discovered while running purchase tests this afternoon, we have unfortunately decided to postpone the pre-order date once more.

We had hoped to resolve the issue by the end of today's workday, but what we are dealing with correcting will not give us enough time to run a thorough test before tomorrow morning's scheduled sales launch.

We are currently working with PayPal to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, so we ask to bare with us once more until the following date :

[New Pre-order Start Date]
Tuesday 4th, March 2014, 11:00am(JST)"
