Hollywood fabricator Eddie Paul is selling a life-size replica bike from Akira on Craigslist for only $4000. It was made for Kanye West’s video for the song Stronger, but the footage was ultimately cut from the final product. It’s even signed by Kanye himself—but despite that it’s still pretty cool.
Besides the whole Kanye connection, the only other catch is that it its bike is a non-working model meant for display only. Still, $4000 is not a bad price to pay for a collectible like this.

This figure from Japan appears to be a one-off design that will sell at some point for $1,284. Check out more images after the break.

Bad Robot is the mascot for J.J. Abrams’ production company, but it has now become the official mascot of my office.
When we first got a close-up look at the Bad Robot figure while visiting the Quantum Mechanix headquarters back in November, we knew it was a thing of beauty—but after examining it more closely I can say that is an understatement. I’ve totally fallen in love with this adorable little bot.

If you’re a diecast car collecting A-Team fan, you’re gonna love this.

Pre-order now for an October 2011 shipment. Yeah, that’s a long way away, but this sort of thing tends to sell through way in advance.

If you know eFx, you know that lightsaber replicas are one of the things they do best.
So, it’s nice to see this Star Wars Luke Skywalker Hero Lightsaber Replica. It’s an accurate 1:1 replica of the “Hero” lightsaber seen on-screen.
Cast is high quality resin with metal and plastic details, this replica measures 12-inches long x 1 1/2-inches in diameter. It comes with display/plaque stand and a certificate of authenticity.
Of course, it’s only a “hero” lightsaber if you root for the Alliance, but that’s a discussion for another day. ::grin::
