18 Coolest ‘Ghost in the Shell’ T-Shirts

Ghost in a Shell Cartoon Logo T-Shirt

Pretty soon, Masamune Shirow’s masterpiece ‘Ghost in the Shell’ is going to get a Hollywood makeover, for better or worse, and with the movie coming out soon, having the right t-shirt is a must for the experienced or new Ghost in the Shell fan.

Scarlett Johansson will play the part of The Major (Motoko Kusanagi) in a film based on the manga series that became a lot more. The Cyberpunk coolness and a little bit of other emotions and thoughts that are come out in the various depictions of Ghost in the Shell show on the t-shirts as well, which give out a very cool, futuristic vibe, which is why we like them so much, and hope you do too:

LEGO Tachikoma Can Be Official, but It Needs More Than Eleven Individuals to Vote for It

Peer Kreuger put his motorized LEGO Tahickoma tank up on Cuusoo and needs your support for the powers that be to notice it. If you’re a Ghost in the Shell fan that should be all that you need to know, but in case you still need more motivation, here’s a look at the toy:

Still not impressed? What if I told you that it can wave its arms and move its head? No? What if I told you that it has wheels but can also walk? No? What if I show you all those things I just said?

Kreuger estimates that the toy will sell for $150-$200(USD) if it becomes a real product. That’s a big if; as per Cuusoo rules, gathering the required 10,000 votes is no guarantee that LEGO will make it a real product, just that they will consider the possibility. But a true Section 9 operative never gives up, so go to LEGO Cuusoo and vote for the Tachikoma – and tell your friends to do the same. I bet if LEGO includes a Laughing Man sticker with every toy it will sell like crazy.

LEGO Tachikoma: Ghost in the Brick

We’re big fans of Peer Kreuger’s work and have featured a couple of his designs. One of his newest toys is an excellent replica of the Tachikoma, the artificial intelligence sidekicks with spider-like bodies in Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell. This Tachikoma can’t shoot webs, fire guns or have mind-numbing discussions about existence and identity though.

It may not be as smart as its manga and animé counterpart, but this Tachikoma is still pretty impressive. It moves on its wheels, but it can also seamlessly switch to walking mode to tackle rough terrain. It can also move its “head” and wave its arms.

Think you have Section 9 level brick building skills? Head to Kreuger’s website for the parts list and .lxf file. You can also check out his Flickr page for more detailed pictures.
