Gunparade March: Shibamura Mai Trading Figure

Based on the popular Playstation videogame Takidou Gensou Gun Parade March, is an old school 12 episodes anime series originally aired in 2003. A mecha anime about alien invasion where humanity is pushed to their limit, only to pin their hopes on high school students as pilots to their final trump card mecha unit known as Humanoid Walking Tank (HWT). No toy or model kit on the HWT has been made so far thus this trading figure of the female protagonist produced by Kotobukiya, best connects me to the anime. 

Shibamura Mai was a transfer pilot to the 5121st Platoon. She's the best from the academy with her piloting skills as fine as her beauty. However, her teamwork is relatively poor as her social skills drag her down resulting in poor coordination. The figure portrayed Mai in her uniform in jacket, short, hair ribbon and bow tie. The emblem on the upper arm is sharply painted. Released together with 'One Coin Figure Series' in a set of 12 pieces, this high quality 11cm, Shibamura Mai figure is my favourite among the rest because she's posed in confidence and holding her pilot helmet. Figure needs the base stand to hold up and the stand purposely connects to the other figures in their series. I'm using Power Doll as a prop in this post which in my opinion a close resemblance to HWT. Anyway, Power Doll can only be piloted by female. Hehehe....
