AKIRA: Kaneda's Bike Model - Pictures
This just showed up on the blog of the Japanese Figure & Hobby webshop Amiami: Kaneda's Motorbike as known from AKIRA.
Release is set for the end of March and the model can already be preordered in the shop.
According to the review, the item is better than perfect. Keeping in mind they wanna sell the thing, apart from all the praise the information provided is:
* Product is still in production stage so the final look might differ from what you see in the pictures. Just as the stickers shown further down, subject to change.
* The cowl is removable: it uncovers a well-detailed engine as well as dampers, which themselves are pressure sensitive i.e. work like real ones.
* The front wheel is attached magnetically, thus can be taken on and off without hassle.
* Glows in the dark! Not, but has electric LEDs attached to it. They illuminate five spots on the machine: Wheels, blinkers, head- and tail lights as well as the center console. You can turn it on and off using a switch on the back.
* The engine is actually moving. According to plans, the original motor sound shall also be heard. On top of that it will be attachable to external speakers so you can hear the blast at high volumes and high sound quality.

Lucky Star X Macross Frontier Ichiban Kuji Now On Sale!!!
Lucky Star X Macross Frontier hit 24 hours convenience stores in Tokyo at 12am this morning. Radiokaikan should be flooded with people at 10am when they open in the morning. I found a Family Mart selling them, and at 22 past midnight all the Cosplaying Rankas' were gone.
I tried my luck and bought two tickets for a Cosplaying Klan and ended up with doubles of Konata cosplaying as Aiku. Damm you KyoAni!!!!

Beagle Fuke, Rei Ride Armor and MPC Grimlock.............OH MY!!!!!
The Tokyo International Anime Fair Business Day is back and Beagle Toys was there showing off a very early 1/10 scale prototype Fuke (Rook) Ride Armor. Impressive to say the least. Mospeada fans, we never had it so good.
Mospeada Ride Armors have been coming out of woodwork over the last two years, and next in line is Rei (Rand).
Now it has been years since a Transformer has knocked my socks off. The Masterpiece Transformer line is kind of hit or miss, but the MPC Grimlock goes above and beyond Takara Tomy's previous efforts. Must have!!!!
