KAAANNNEEEEEEEEDDDAAAAAAA Not Included
Medicom has already shown off its incredibly sweet 12-inch Kaneda Real Action Hero figure from Akira; although they made him an in-scale bike, it’s obvious that 90% of the play value in having a Kaneda toy is having him scream back and forth with a Tetsuo figure. Medicom obliges with the above, due out in October for $200 with a bevy of spare heads with different but still smugly evil expressions. I’ve gotta agree with ToysREvil on this one; it’d be nice if this came with a big mutant arm, but what I’d really want is his throne for him to slouch on.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
