Akira (1998) - Kaneda
"Akira (1988)" was a Japanese animated film co-written and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo based on his manga of the same name. The movie ignited interests for Japanese anime and brought many wonderful manga stories onto the big screen, including "Ghost In A Shell", "Jin Roh - Wolf Brigade" and "Appleseed". "Spriggan" is another great favourite although no action figure was made for it :(

Hi David, this was a knock-off piece. Medicom did release an exclusive toy show version 1.0 Kaneda back then and this figure was based off that.
ReplyDeleteThe latest BM project Kaneda would be version 2.0, to accompany his new 1:6 bike
