    Die-Cast Replica of Akira Bike Will Bring Out The Mini-Rebel In You

    The year is 2019. You're in post-World War III Tokyo. There are some bad guys calling themselves The Clowns. You battle. You win. You leave on your highly-customized bike. You wake in 2009 and preorder a replica of that bike.

    It may be $374 and not out until the first quarter of 2010, but this replica of the bike driven by Kaneda in Akira is ridiculously awesome. It's one-sixth scale, comes with plenty of sound effects, LED illumination, and a workable suspension. All you need is a bit of adventuring spirit. [BigBadToyStore via Nerd Approved]
