Not to derail onto Motoko... but it dates back to near the original run of the series and manga and is a resin figure (quite heavy). She's also my first ever figure purchase (and I got in a bidding war over her, ouch). Reviewing all the anime pics and models of her --- one gets quite a lot of facial variation (even in the manga) so a "true" model of her is kind of difficult to pin down. My main critique of this one is that the eyes are a bit large since she has "extra-japanese" eyes in her drawings (even when she's surprised they have an almond shape to them).
The older sister remark is kind of amusing because I've tagged her "end of series" Motoko as she's got a calm zen grace in her face rather than the tense mixed feelings look she spent much of the series in. So in that respect she's closer to the plateau her sister already reached.
