| Post subject: | Kaneda RAH |
 I wouldn't normally post about RAH figures, but i think a lot of people here are probably fans of the Akira film. It's a regular release, so should be more than the 150 medicom dealt out all those years back. Release is March 2010, so maybe the wife will get me it as a birthday present? But then at ¥18,000 maybe she won't. found this elsewhere.  I wonder if Kay and Tetsuo will follow? |

Yup. This is really awesome. I'd be down for 180k for both. Bike stickers included? |

I think those 2 smallest ones in your picture are the ones that come closest to Kaneda's likeness. I only sold mine because they are just too small to display properly I hope you're joking about that kubrick knockoff- that thing's a monstrosity!

Those early production Medicom super rare Akira set are so fragile its not worth the purchase. So I just look at this pic now and then, sigh and move on.

right on. I saw this up for preorder, but I'm kind of disappointed in the head sculpt. the hair looks all "feathered". I like the original Medicom sculpt better, but I'll probably just get this one anyway. If medicom does follow up with a bike, that would rule. I hope they make Kei. EDIT: actually I take that back. I really don't like this head sculpt at all. I LOVE AKIRA though and I love the Kaneda character. I don't think this sculpt really captures the vibe of Kaneda much. I hope Hot Toys makes one. |

I hope they release these again as 12" RAH DX with loads of accessories. comon Medicom!!!!! |

On the plus side, if you shop around you can probably score them both for 25% off retail since it doesn't look like they're shop exclusives. But then again, I just checked a couple of places online and they don't have the pre-orders up yet, so who knows? |

However, there was a SICK Berserk statue at the Mandarake in Akihabara the other day that had me drooling more than a little. And at only a cool grand I could probably get by with only selling one of my kidneys! |

I preordered both the bike and figure. I saw that Kaneda comes with two head sculpts; one with goggles and messy hair and one normal one. the bike looks great. gonna start saving now...I hope the quality is top-notch since their asking for a lot. ...and I hope they don't make any other Akira figures...! my wallet couldn't take it. |
