Cyberpunk Kanji Socks
Description: Ghost in the Shell, known in Japan as Mobile Armored Riot Police is a Japanese cyberpunk science fiction media franchise originally published as a seinen manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow. The manga, first serialized in 1989 under the subtitle of The Ghost in the Shell, and later published as its own tankōbon volumes by Kodansha, told the story of the fictional counter-cyberterrorist organization Public Security Section 9, led by protagonist Major Motoko Kusanagi, in the mid-21st century of Japan.
Description: Crane Robo was the 24th figure in the Machine Robo Series of Japanese transforming robots. He transforms from robot form into a Unic K-200B crane truck. In robot mode, he stands 14.7m tall and is equipped with a Super Psycho Cannon and a Romtron Radar Scanner. He weights 198 tons and can travel at 100 kph in vehicle mode. In the cartoons, his crane arm has been shown a few different ways, but the most hilarious is when it's extending from below the waist. The figure was later issued as the GoBots figure Crain Brain, with no significant changes beyond omitting the additional sticker sheet. As such, the American version of the figure is lacking the markings on the crane arm. Crain Brain was not released as part of Robo Machine line in Europe.
Description: Set in a future in which interstellar travel is effected by transferring consciousnesses between bodies ("sleeves"), Altered Carbon follows the attempt of Takeshi Kovacs, a former U.N. elite soldier turned private investigator, to investigate a rich man's death for him. This Altered Carbon design includes the title and "no body lives forever" tagline set in Japanese Kanji along with the iconic helix mark. This version is a nice, clean look, but I've also got a vintage version with plenty of wear and tear if that's your thing.
