Medicom and Tamashii Nations Team Up To Reissue the Kaneda and Bike from Akira

They want almost $600 for that bike? Geez.

And weird promo pics, they don't show Akira Kenada articulating at all, I thought it was a statue when I first saw it, and then zero pictures of him on or even near the bike.

The pics are all 10 years old. They simply re-posted them. Since they are being released by separate companies, I wouldn't expect to have pics of them together. But, since these are older, you can find pics of them together via Google.

I would like to see someone reissue or create a new version of this figure and bike in 1/12 scale. Mafex/Figuarts/McFarlane hopefully?

I have the original of both of these. Kaneda is a pretty good figure. The bike is exceptional though. I’m hoping they reissue Tetsuo since I never picked up the original release.

That Kaneda looks like a $100 toy.

The bike looks very plastic for something that's diecast.

It better be more than just a reissue at these prices... the original costs were like $190 for Kaneda and $400 for the bike.

Is the bike remote control or something??? =^)

If this is just a reissue...I wish them luck....
Akira was ground breaking during it's time.
They might get the nostalgia guy, who missed out...
Is there a "BIG" market for the originals???...

Time will tell....Me? I'm out. Again, good luck.
