Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures

[GU-11]

Hard to believe this bike was designed way back in the 80's. It's just so effing beautiful and timeless.

[xrentonx]

So beautiful...but so much regret! I wish I didn't pass these two up...

[Tober]

Is the 1/6 Kaneda'S Bike available for less than $700 anymore?

[Major Focker]

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

[xrentonx]

How likely is it that Bandai would reissue these two? Fat chance?

...or BM in this case...

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!

[CoreyD]

Oh nice Kicker! I still have the McFarlane toys Kaneda and bike on my shelf.

[Gakken85]

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?

[Kanedas Bike]

So jealous.

-b.

[Kicker773]

It's pretty heavy. C'mon you know your itching to get one!

[EXO]

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.

[xrentonx]

Absolutely an iconic opening! Just the way the percussion in the music hits makes it so perfect

[Gakken85]

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.

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.

[Gakken85]

Sent you a PM kicker

[slaginpit]

just got this

[Gakken85]

That's the 1/4th? How much of it is metal?

[slaginpit]

Yes. Lets see the thighs, part of the lower chest and the arms

[GU-11]

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.

[xrentonx]

No-eyebrows-Murphy is certainly not a looker

[raptormesh]

All three still available on amiami as of the time of this posting.

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...

[Gakken85]

That's where I got mine.

$260. After shipping it'll be less than the domestic sellers! haha.

They are charging $299 + shipping.

[Kicker773]

Sent you a PM kicker

thanks preordered them...really wanted to get it through BBTS because they have the collector grade option. Just hope nothing is wrong with them when they arrive.

[Kicker773]

So they just announced it Murphy head will be available on another version of Robocop

[Gakken85]

Yeah, I saw that. I think I'll just stick with this version.

One is enough for me haha

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Crap. BBTS is already out of preorders. Shoot, I missed out on ED the first time- I'm definitely getting him this time around!

[GU-11]

Non die-cast?

[Gakken85]

Try Ami Ami

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

Ami Ami indeed, definitely checking them out, thanks!

[Gakken85]

This thing is beaaaaaaautiful. The box is a little warped on the flap, but it's in good shape otherwise.

Really excited to display this guy.

[Deadeye_281]

I didn't know there was a 1/6 Capt Harlock. Very cool.

[Gakken85]

It came out in '09 and is the 2.0 release. There was an earlier version back in the 90's.

[GU-11]

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).
