Custom Delights: Kyle Robinson's custom Kaneda figure
by Bryan Coffee on 12/29/2008 10 comments

Something I have always wanted when I become rich and famous is to recreate a fully-functional version of Kaneda's motorcycle from the amazing film and manga Akira. Something about that bike really stood out for me, and I've always looked at it as my all time favorite vehicle from any medium. Unfortunately I'm quite sure I'll never be rich enough to afford such a thing, but I can at the very least shell out the dough to get a custom toy version by custom figure phenom Kyle Robinson, and get a brilliantly crafted Kaneda as well!

Kyle made this custom Kaneda and bike as a commission for a very lucky UK collector. The figure is definitely the Frankenstein of toys, as he has been lovingly created with the pieces of several other figures and some apoxie sculpt. Hopefully no thunderstorms or humped assistants were needed to complete him (although having a humped assistant would be pretty cool).

Check out Kyle's DeviantArt page for more of his brilliant customs, including one of the best Deadpool's I have ever seen. God I'm jealous right now.
