Things I would pretty much kill a man to own: Kaneda's bike from Akira

Things I would pretty much kill a man to own: Kaneda's bike from Akira photo


I don't have much of a hard on for vehicles, I admit. I will notice pretty cars and such, but I don't have any real lust to own one unless it was made before the year 1930. However, it seems Kaneda's bike from Akira is one of my rare exceptions, because the idea of owning a replica of this bike makes me pretty much want to flip out on the spot. With total joy.

Bandai and Medicom put their heads together for this one, which is a 1/6th reproduction that actually lights up behind the wheel (see the gallery so you can fap yourself raw to that gorgeous image). However, it will set you back 31,920 yen. It's worth every penny, in my mind.You can order it at Happinet already. Just be warned if I come to your house and see you own this thing, I will kill you for it. Just saying.

I've been keeping my eye on this thing but there's no way I can afford it. Along with the Kaneda figure that goes along with it...I love that you can add the decals yourself and that it lights up behind the wheels, like you noted, as well as the front and tail lights and even the dashboard! That price is actually significantly less than the $420 sideshow was charging for it. Check out the Kaneda here:

This is one of those times i wish i was ATOM from DC comics so i could shrink down and ride around on this fucking beast!
I cannot accurately express my feelings at this moment, though weeping would be included somewhere therein.
Just... wow.
*weeping noises*
I own three of those they are right next to my golden ps3 with ruby buttons
HNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg. Passing $500 for bike and rider....god I want it.
Of the handful of anime's I know about, this is one of them. And this is a must own toy.
Nice work they did on this one, though I am searching for a real one.
