Akira Popularity Celebrated with New Capsule Toys
From Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark sci-fi manga and anime, Akira, comes this awesome new set of trading figures, available exclusively in North America from Diamond Comic Distributors!
Since its release in 1988, Akira has remained one of the most popular and beloved anime in existence, as it captured the imagination of millions with its dark, cutting-edge story, roguish main characters, and intense action sequences.
Directed by Otomo, the film is considered a masterpiece and a must-see for any fan of anime and science fiction. Now, fans of the film can collect their favorite characters captured in classic scenes with the Akira Capsule Toys Series 3.
Imported from Japan and manufactured by Kaiyodo, this third series is considered the 'DX' line, as the pieces are larger and more intricate then the previous releases. Sculpted by Masahiko Kagawa, these fully painted PVC figurines are approximately 3inch tall, and come in opaque capsules, making the contents a mystery and collecting more enjoyable!
This series offers incredible sculpting and paint schemes, and includes Kei, Takashi, Kaneda on Bike, Tetsuo on Bike, and Tetsuo 'Attack', and Yamagata.
