GU-11 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hard to believe this bike was designed way back in the 80's. It's just so effing beautiful and timeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 So beautiful...but so much regret! I wish I didn't pass these two up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is the 1/6 Kaneda'S Bike available for less than $700 anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 which manufacturers made that bike, and which one featured lights, as in kicker's pics? i seem to recall there were several releases/versions but never paid attention back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) How likely is it that Bandai would reissue these two? Fat chance? ...or BM in this case... Edited May 29, 2013 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Glad the pics are bringing more interest to this thing... i love this thing... KANEDA!!!!! I didn't take a picture of Tetsuo but I was too busy awing the bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Oh nice Kicker! I still have the McFarlane toys Kaneda and bike on my shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I still have the Mcfarlane Bike, Kenada, and Tetsuo. They are still pretty good toys for their price. That's a pretty sick bike. How much does it weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 You need to customize the red light trails coming from it. That bike scene from Akira rivals Private Ryan as the best opening minutes of any movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Anybody preordering Hot Toys Robocop? I'm thinking about it... $260-290 is expensive. Guess that's what happens when they add diecast. frakk it. It's a year away and I bet it will be $400 bucks when it comes out haha. Preordered.

Kicker773 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I wanted to order it through BBTS but its already sold out! WTH. I really really want to avoid sideshow. They don't offer collectors grade and just ship it with the brown shipper box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Anyone hear about the HT Robocop announcements? They're releasing 3 items from the 80's movie: ED-209, Robocop, and Robocop with docking bay (aka his "maintenance" chair). All 3 are made with die-cast metal, and come with sound effects. The price is a real killer, though. Sucks that the Robocop fig doesn't come with Murphy's head without the helmet, just three mouthpieces.

Ed-209 doesn't have any diecast, and yeah we mentioned it a few posts up I don't really care about Murphys face, as I want to see Robocop, not Robocop without his mask on! haha. And it's not announcements, it went up for pre-order today and sold out on a lot of sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not announcements, it went up for pre-order today and sold out on a lot of sites. It doesn't? Must be a typo on the CDX article, because it said it was a die-cast version of ED. I can do without Murphy's face in the generic Robocop release, but it would have been nice to have it included in the "docking station" version. Damn, I have absolutely no luck in scoring news credits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 All three still available on amiami as of the time of this posting. That's where I got mine. $260.

Kicker773 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sent you a PM kicker thanks preordered them...really wanted to get it through BBTS because they have the collector grade option.

Kicker773 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 So they just announced it Murphy head will be available on another version of Robocop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah, I saw that. I think I'll just stick with this version. One is enough for me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I didn't know there was a 1/6 Capt Harlock. Very cool. It came out in '09 and is the 2.0 release. There was an earlier version back in the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 IIRC, HT made an announcement way back when that they were working on the new rebooted version of Captain Harlock. Has that been released yet? Apparently, Square-Enix's PlayArts Kai is also making Captain Harlock figs of its own, along with that chick in the purple suit (I've never watched the anime).
