Gunmu (Battle Angel) Gally Figma

Before the figma series, toy figure designer Masaki Apsy was creating limited edition figures for various Japanese manga, which came in special box collections.

The following is the Gunmu Limited Box Edition Gally figure. The box contains the Gunmu manga, as well as the specially-designed precursor of the figma series.

Accessories include interchangeable hands, feet, weapons, and stand. Also included are two white eyeballs with eye iris decals.

Gally's accessories include eye decals and spare eye balls, so you can have her looking right or left. (its a fixed eye ball, so you would have only one choice of eye direction.)

In the many years that I have been collecting toys, this series stands out in my books as possibly the most pose-friendly figure (in my humble collection). If you like to pose your figures, you really cannot go wrong with this series.

I even use them for my figure drawing studies to understand about balance. Nothing better than to have an actual figure to pose!

The figure comes with various unit-specific accessories such as different interchangeable hands, heads, weapons.

I had got my hands on these at a local Bandai toy fair, but you should still be able to find them on Amazon / E-Bay.
