What’s a reasonable price to pay for the medicom 1/6 kaneda figure and his medicom 1/6 scale bike?

Both arrived safe and sound today. Got Tetsuo coming in this week as well. Can’t wait to get them displayed.

Gave my bike a good clean and everything is still intact, no splitting rubber

What did you use to clean it?
My only problem areas are the "dull" metal parts. Not rusty, but have a bit of oxydization to them. Thankfully the shiny chrome parts under the wheels still look good. I give mine a good thorough cleaning every now and then. My biggest concern is the tires. They have more of a grey sheen to them than black, even after cleaning. But I've never rubbed any kind of oil or anything on it. I don't want it to melt!
Sad thing is this toy is rapidly approaching ten years old! We gotta be extra careful with them. That bastard Father Time eventually turns all of our toys (and US!) into dust.
HTG, you inspired me to give mine another cleaning. Tires seem to be holding up well. All the chrome is still nice and shiny. Lights and sounds are fine. Only problems are the metal bits that are not chrome, like the "kickstand" and some of the parts hidden in the chassis, that have oxidized a bit and are really hard to clean. Thankfully none of that shows, especially with all the covers on.
Also, one of the rubber handlebars has a tiny little rip in it. Not the end of the world obviously, but it's something I need to keep an eye on.
God I love this toy. It really is the crown jewel of my collection. Just magnificent, even after all these years!!
Man, I wish Medicom either re-released this or did a Mafex version I'd be rapt... There definitely needs to be a good 1:12th version of these characters and THAT bike!
