Ghost In The Shell-Stand Alone Complex~ Completed Box Item Code : E0247 FX Quantity : 3 Discs Dialogue : English / Japanese Subtitle : English/Chinese/Off Region : All Region, Free Code Series Type : TV Series System : Ntsc Episodes : 1-26 In the year 2029, the barriers of our world have been broken down by the net and by cybernetics, but this brings new vulnerability to humans in the form of brain-hacking. When a highly-wanted hacker known as ‘The Puppetmaster’ begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster. The pursuit will call into question what makes a human and what is the Puppetmaster in a world where the distinction between human and machine is increasingly blurry. Description : The approximation of mobile media to physical human body started with portable then wearable terminals, and finally settled to implantable terminals which ushered civilization into a new era where man and machine were no longer separate. Such integration was realized by direct transplanting of communication terminals to the physical body, allowing the body and mind to interact immediately with standard computer and network technology. These implantables gradually took over the outdated portable/wearable technology, to be recognized as the prototype of Cyberbrain. After the ever-growing technology introduced the practical utility of micro-machines, cyberbrains became both safe and inexpensive. This caused rapid popularization of cyberbrains within countries that had little or no religion restrictions, such as Japan. But the wide prevalence of cyberbrains caused social anxiety: people were exposed to risks of brain-hack because of their neural connection to the entire population using cyberbrains. The most serious brain-hacking crime was Ghost Hack, a case where total individuality including past memories and body discretion of a certain person became the

The fate of the wall crawler has been inextricably linked to that of the brilliant Dr. Otto Octavius from the earliest career of both hero and villain. As a brilliant nuclear physicist and cybernetics engineer, Octavius is without peer; as Doctor Octopus he is a stunning criminal mastermind of prodigious strength and unmatched viciousness. During his first encounter with Spider-Man, he issued such a thorough pummeling to the hero that would become his arch-enemy that the web slinger considered giving up the super hero game entirely. Since then, of course, he has suffered a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of Spider-Man, each one driving him deeper and deeper into depression and insanity. He has recently made a habit of hatching plots designed to enrich himself or garner power, rather then venturing out into the streets to go toe to toe with his enemies, who seem to grow in number every year. It is a source of unlimited rage that, despite his obviously superior intelligence, Spider-Man inevitably deduces his purposes and puts a stop to his plans. Add to your friendly neighborhood collection of Marvel Heroes with this highly detailed, die-cast metal Doctor Octopus figure! This poseable figure comes with a display case.Choking Hazard - Small Parts - Not for Children Under 3
