Dollieh Sanctuary

When I was first getting back into anime, back in the days of old, I rented most of the videos I could find that were based on Masamune Shirow's various manga works. Dominion: Tank Police was one of the first I rented and while it's a bit goofy by today's standards, I still like it.

A few years ago, I discovered that a company called Daiwa Toy had made a series of figures of the main female characters from this story; police officer Leona Ozaki and former rivals, now fellow officers, Anapuma and Unipuma. Even more interesting, these dolls were all based on the original (hard torso) Obitsu Normal Body. A few weeks ago, I discovered that, not only were these figures still available but that HobbyLink Japan was having a 50% off sale on them. Even with the discount, I couldn't afford all three but I at least managed to buy Leona! Anyway, here are a couple photos I took of her and I *might* get around to posting more about her on my blog later on.

BONAPART!!!!

LOL - that was one of the first animes ever translated to subtitles/english. I remember buying the VHS version of it back in the day Awesome score David!

Oh my, I haven't watched Dominion in years. Great Leona- congratulations on the find, David!

SQUEEEEE!!! That is awesome!! I am jealous! I just picked up the role-playing supplement for Dominion, and I was even thinking of a doll of her! Lucky!!

It would be kind of cool to have a 1/6 scale version of Bonaparte but I probably wouldn't be able to afford it!

Now that I have a couple versions of Motoko Kusanagi and this figure of Leona, I still need to find a version of Deunan Knute. The Hot Toys and Takara versions are both OK but WAAAAAY more than I care to pay for a 1/6 scale doll, when I can find them.

I have a lot of Motoko Kusanagi action figures, Ghost in the Shell was my first anime that I ever owned. Would be cool to have a Deunan figure let me know if you find any good ones.
