Crap that is awesome.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Is the gun actually lit up?!?

 

[PsychoCenobite]

I wonder if they will have the advertisements on the bike and logo on the back of his coat?

Looks good though.

[bloodgear]

Really does look amazing. Probably be too much for me though.

 

[Wanderer]

Oh man ... i'm screwed ... too much awesomeness being shown ... will my habit ever die?!

Btw never realised how much the bike looks like a Sinclair C5 ... might get one of those, and re spray it red instead, its bound to be cheaper!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Any word on when this guy may be out?

 

[breakersrevenge]

This will be my 1st Medicom that I will have for sale!

Before you ask, I dont know when available, but it will be on the top of the supplier order list!

I have been waiting for a premium Akira fig for a long time

 

[Cap'n Cook]

That's great news Wai. I know where I will be ordering from then.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

This figure is looking good! I'm a big fan of the anime!

 

[Batty]

Looks like it'll be out in March.

[DeadLeaves]

200 hundred bucks eh? Then the bike could easily come in at 3 - 400. Expensive little purchase, not unexpected though.

 

[karamazov80]

Cool as it would be, I'm not sure I could justify paying $200 for a Real Action Hero. Maybe if it were Hot Toys. As Deadleaves says, not totally unexpected, but I figured it would be a bit less.

 

[plasmid303]

I have no problem paying ~$200 for this (and probably only this) particular Real Action Hero. Look at it this way, it's better than $500+ for the original Medicom Kaneda.

I don't see the need to bring HT into the value proposition of this figure. This figure exists, it looks good, comes with some cool accessories, and you can buy the ultimate accessory for it later on. I don't care who made it. It is possible with HT that this figure may have been priced a bit lower, but that's not a given. As it stands, I'm happy for what it is.
