Akira Bike Replica Will Bring Out The Mini-Rebel In You

The year is 2019. You’re in post-World War III Tokyo. There are some bad guys calling themselves The Clowns. You battle. You win. You leave on your highly-customised bike. You wake up in 2009 and pre-order a replica of that bike.

It may be $US375 and not out until the first quarter of 2010, but this replica of the bike driven by Kaneda in Akira is ridiculously awesome. It’s a one-sixth scale, comes with plenty of sound effects, LED illumination and a workable suspension. All you need is a bit of adventuring spirit. [BigBadToyStore via Nerd Approved]

    Meh. Got one. Not one that lights up, but an original limited edition Bandai one. That I got from an awesome friend in Japan while I was living there a while back.
