Akira is one of the coolest films of all time! My cousin Steve who has a sleeve tattoo of Tetsuo in giant baby mode all up his arm, showed me this movie when I was inappropriately young, and I've been in love with it ever since! I was so happy to get the McFarlane Kaneda and his bike back in the day, only to then be immensely disappointed in the fact that he couldn't even sit on his damned bike! The sculpts are so nice, but as with all McFarlane toys, the articulation stinks! Twenty years later, and a few false starts on this custom, and I finally have him the way I want him; able to sit on his bike. Started off with a ML series 3 punisher base body, then decided it was too short and squat, so I switched most of it out for a LCBH mad-man, then didn't like the proportions enough, so I switched some more of it up again a couple months ago with a Greedo. Head, jacket and weapon are taken from the McFarlane statue/in-action figure. I made him a smashed stone/concrete base out of insulation foam, because Neo Tokyo is pile of rubble by the end of the movie.   Please wait... |
