Technical and Historical Notes

The development of labors proves to be a boon to construction projects around the world. However, the increase of labors sparks a new type of crime: labor crime. To combat labor crime, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department creates its own labor division, Special Vehicles Section 2. At first, SV2 uses the ancient ASUKA-MPL96 Taisyo, which has simply been painted in police colors and outfitted with a siren. As labors become more advanced, SV2 keeps up with the times by replacing the Taisyo with the AV-98 Ingram, a labor designed specifically for law enforcement by Shinohara Heavy Industries. The Ingram's advanced design allows for more human-like movements. As a law enforcement labor, the Ingram is equipped with an anti-labor stun stick and a 37mm revolver cannon, but it can also carry a shotgun-like 90mm riot cannon. To facilitate transport to the field, each Ingram features its own transport trailer. Three units are assigned to SV2 Division 2 under the command of Captain Kiichi Gotoh. Unit 1 is assigned to labor enthusiast Noa Izumi, while Unit 2 is assigned to gun maniac Isao Ota. Unit 3 is not used for police operations because it serves as a source of spare parts for Units 1-2. With its advanced design and intimidating appearance, the Ingram and SV2 quickly become a source of terror for criminals and civilians alike.

Tenchi Muyo! : Tenchi Masaki PVC Figure

Tenchi Muyo! - Tenchi Masaki PVC Figure

From anime, light novel, and manga series created by Masaki Kajishima and Hiroki Hayashi, Tenchi Muyo! (天地無用!, Tenchi Muyō!), this is Tenchi Muyo! : Tenchi Masaki PVC Figure .

Tenchi Masaki (柾木 天地, Masaki Tenchi) is the main protagonist of the Tenchi Muyo! series. Tenchi's name means 'Heaven and Earth'. It is the same as 'Tenchi' in the Shinto Kojiki which contains some of Japan's oldest myths and legends.

Tenchi Muyo! - Tenchi Masaki PVC Figure

In the OVA-based continuities, Tenchi is the crown prince of Jurai and the grandson of a Juraian prince named Yosho and an Airaian priestess named Airi. He gains possession of a 'Master Key' called 'Tenchi', also known as the Tenchi Sword (Tenchi-ken), that can form a lightsaber-like blade. He later receives a special ring from Tsunami that can create a Juraian battlesuit for him and acts as a 'Guardian System', protecting him. Tenchi also has the innate ability (making him unusual as the only non-ship entity able to do so) to create kou-ou-yoku ('Light Hawk Wings'), and the ill-defined ability of Material-Energy Conversion. Tenchi initially lives in the city with his father to attend school and visits his grandfather's shrine every summer, where he trains to become a Shinto priest and learns his family's special style of swordsmanship (which happens to be particular to members of Jurai's Royal Family). The house is permanently relocated next to the shrine after a battle between Ryoko and Ayeka, and Tenchi lives in the house with the girls while refusing to get intimate with them. Tenchi no longer attends school, after the school was decimated during the encounter with Ryoko in OVA 1. See details

Naruto - Shonen Jumps : Neji Hyuga Chakra Point Action Figure

Naruto - Shonen Jumps - Neji Hyuga Chakra

For fans of Naruto. This is Naruto - Shonen Jumps : Neji Hyuga Chakra Point Action Figure . Naruto training deluxe figure Neji Tenketsu is approximately 4 3/4 tall with internal mechanisms and interactive accessories that brings the character to life. Character represents ninja from the training academy learning mysterious ninja fighting techniques.

Neji Hyuga (日向 ネジ, Hyūga Neji) is a member of Team Guy and a child prodigy of the Hyuga clan. Despite his natural talent, Neji's membership in one of the clan's lower houses leaves him ineligible to learn the clan's most secret techniques. At the start of the series, Neji openly hates the main house because of this, readily attacking its members verbally or physically when given the chance. At this point in the series, Neji believes in a fatalistic philosophy: that one's destiny is inescapable and that a weak person will always be weak. After being defeated in battle by Naruto Uzumaki, a character that has proven his "destiny" wrong by getting stronger, Neji has a change of heart.He abandons the idea of a predetermined fate, and resolves to get strong enough to never lose a battle. He also tries to remedy the estranged relations between himself and the members of the main house, resulting in his training with the leader of the main house at the end of Part I.

Neji displays his title as a prodigy of the Hyuga throughout the series; when first introduced he is highly proficient with the Gentle Fist style of combat, with which he can directly attack an opponent's internal systems. Though never having been trained in the form, Neji has been able to replicate it and its most powerful attacks through simple observation. As the series progresses, Neji refines these abilities into more powerful counterparts, either to increase their potency or to fix an inherent flaw. One such example is his Byakugan, an eye technique that by default grants the owner a near-360-degree field of vision within a fifty meter radius. Neji constantly trains to overcome a small blindspot and to increase the Byakugan's range of sight. In the Japanese anime, his seiyū is Kōichi Tōchika, and when he is featured as a child, he is voiced by Keiko Nemoto. His voice in the English anime is provided by Steve Staley, and Wendee Lee provides his child voice. See details

Saint Seiya : Myth Cloth Poseidon Lyumnades Caza

Saint Seiya - Myth Cloth Poseidon Lyumnades Caza

From anime and manga Saint Seiya, this is Saint Seiya : Myth Cloth Poseidon Lyumnades Caza .

Lyumnades Caza (リュムナデスのカーサ, Ryumunadesu no Kāsa) appears in vol.17 of the manga and in the episode 107 of the anime. His duty was to guard the Mammoth Pillar of the Antarctic Ocean, which supported Poseidon's Undersea Temple.

After the defeats of Marina Generals Seahorse Baian and Scylla Io, the Bronze Saints Pegasus Seiya, Cygnus Hyouga and Andromeda Shun were on their way to demolish the next Mammoth Pillar, the Antarctic Ocean's. Upon reaching it, they were haunted by puzzling illusions.

They were the work of Lyumnades Caza, the Marina General of the Antarctic Ocean. He was known as vicious and terrible, since he had the power to look into the hearts of his opponents and torture them with their most precious memories or loved ones. That made him known as the Hunter of Hearts.

Saint Seiya - Myth Cloth Poseidon Lyumnades Caza

The first one to encounter Caza was Seiya. Caza fooled Seiya into thinking that his mentor Marin was indeed her long lost sister Seika. Seiya, overwhelmed by the sight of his long lost sister, hugs her not knowing that it was Caza in disguise. Caza quickly and violently stabs Seiya in the stomach and Seiya falls to the ground wounded.

Next, it was Cygnus Hyoga who would fall prey to Caza's horrible illusions, tricking him into thinking that his beloved master Aquarius Camus was still alive. After being emotionally shocked for the resurrection of his mentor, Caza took advantage of the moment, and stabbed Hyoga in the neck. Hyoga's fate was the same as Seiya's.

Andromeda Shun arrived at the scene finding his friends wounded, and suffered the same fate, when Caza made him think he had finally reunited with his beloved brother, Ikki, the Phoenix Saint. However Shun quickly realizes through Caza's evil deceptive nature and quickly defends himself. See details

Zoids : EZ-076 Brastle Tiger 1/72 Scale

Zoids - EZ-076 Brastle Tiger

From anime Zoid, this is Zoids : EZ-076 Brastle Tiger 1/72 Scale . Nifty tiger-type Zoid is molded all in colour and snaps together; requires 2 AAA batteries, not included, for movement. An all-region DVD is included.

The Brastle Tiger is a Tiger-type Zoid, created by the Zi-Arms corporation from one of the three ancient Tiger-Zoid cores discovered in ZAC 2230.

Like its rival, the Rayse Tiger, Brastle Tiger mounts a unique weapons system. The Brastle Tiger is able to absorb heat from the atmosphere around it, and then channel the heat through its various weapons. As a result, it carries a devastating array of weapons, making it far more dangerous then other Zoids of its size. Mounting ten Thermic Beam Cannons, as well as numerous other weapon systems, the Brastle Tiger is capable of taking on almost any opponent.

This system does have one drawback; the Brastle Tiger has an enormous heat signature, making it nearly impossible to hide. However, its high speed, huge weapons array and thick armour mean that the Zoid can usually handle anything that comes its way. Unusually for a land-based Zoid, the Brastle Tiger features an ejection seat built into the cockpit. See details
