Armitage III - Naomi Armitage (McFarlane Toys)Naomi Armitage · McFarlane Toys

McFarlane Toys produced this Naomi Armitage figure as part of their 3D Animation from Japan line. Based on the character from the cyberpunk anime Armitage III, specifically tied to the Poly-Matrix compilation film, this figure was released around 2000. Armitage III is set on Mars in a future where humanity has colonized the red planet. Naomi Armitage is a bold and aggressive police officer who is revealed to be a Third, an advanced type of android that is nearly indistinguishable from humans. The series explores themes of identity, discrimination, and what it means to be human, as Armitage fights to protect her kind while navigating her relationship with her partner Ross Sylibus. The OVA series and its Poly-Matrix film adaptation helped establish the cyberpunk anime genre in the West during the late 1990s. The figure comes new in retail packaging and represents McFarlane Toys' effort to bring Japanese anime properties to Western collectors during the early 2000s anime boom.
