Another pic I found on Japanese twitter.
Comparing the outfits of the super duper limited and expensive 2000 version and the 2010 mass market version....he said the original is still in perfect shape and the new one is garbage and flaking apart.
A mash up of the original outfit but boots, hands, and head of the newer figure would be perfection. Too bad that original figure goes for like a grand....IF you can find it.

As one Stop-motion animator to another. ""Love that. Great work."
Finally got the bike. Never saw one in person and I am super impressed! The size, weight and feel is incredible. Yes, it cost a fortune, but it really is a work of art. I just wish the instruction book came in english! Still waiting on Kaneda
Also, if this were a real motorcycle, there would be ZERO room for an engine!
there is a real motorcycle custom built, and it has an engine and runs too.

Did my "every few months" thorough cleaning and was aghast tin find little bits of red stuck to the brown suit.
It's happening. The cracks that formed at the ass are shedding the red pleather and leaving an unpleasant thin layer of white threads underneath.
Bike is still holding up beautifully after what...11 years? Certainly better than the girl I was dating at the time, I'm sure. Yeah the red is a bit "faded" but nothing keep that factory fresh luster forever.
Kaneda's suit though, is another story. If there was a reliable way and I could actually TRUST them I'd get a brand new shiny Chinese repro for the jacket and pants.
Or like I said before....if I were a millionaire I'd buy the limited 2000 Cro Mag and put his outfit on the RAH head, gloves, and boots. But alas. I'm no millionaire.

I have not used any of these products yet, but I will treat kaneda as soon as I get him in hand

The new Kaneda figure is extremely overpriced indeed. Sometimes I really would like to know how companies decide on their RSP....
Another thing I'd be interested in:
say you had 2 Kaneda bikes, the old version and the revival version, and you wanted to do a radical custom, which version of the bike would you use for the custom?

New of course.

I....couldn't do it. The color is probably faded on my earlier one so theoretically that would be the one to make a custom out of, but I've had it for over ten years! You don't do that to an old friend!
The bike is too big and glorious and expensive to mess with.

I plan to add weathering and more stickers to my bike once I get my studio back in shape

Despite choosing to pass on the Kaneda figure due to it's poor quality, I am now considering just biting the bullet so the bike can actually have it's rider. That said, while I fully expect for the figure to degrade over time, I am now concerned what effect it may have on the bike's seat. Should I place some sort of buffer between the figure and the bike or is the concern unwarranted?
a piece of tissue paper would do. acid free paper if you are paranoid.
The bike already came with a transparent seat and back; protective coverings for the actual seat
