MECHA MUSUME VOL. 3 TRADING FIGURE

Mecha Musume (literally meaning "mecha daughter") are moe anthropomorphisms or personifications of military hardwares and vehicles into the shape of cute, often pre-pubescent looking girls. The term was first used by Shimada Humikane, an artist who popularized the idea and now the character co-designer for the Sky Girls series.

Types of military vehicles personafied as Mecha Musumes (thanks to Moe Idolatry for the translation):
1. T-34/76
2. Type 97 Chi Ha
3. Supermarine Spitfire Mk. V
4. A27M Mk. VIII Cromwell
5. Messerschmitt Bf 109G "Gustav"
6. Electro Lolita 02 (secret figure)
