Korean builder Haeundaddy has designed and built probably the best LEGO version of Shotaro Kaneda’s bike from Akira that I have seen. This larger scale bike is shapely, detailed and full of the smooth lines that characterise this famous red bike. The specially designed base is a nice touch as a model of this calibre needs something a little special to rest upon.
The details are fantastic, from the sports seat to the handlebar area, and Haeundaddy has taken the time to capture his work with some excellent photography.
Not content with just the bike, Haeundaddy has also designed Kaneda himself as a minifigure. While the bike is clearly not scaled for this minifiure, I feel this combination works thanks to the base which marks this as a display model. A fantastic version of this famous bike.
