Don't get your hopes up....he doesn't sell his stuff. For his own enjoyment only.
Here's a work in progress of Tetsuo as drawn by Moebius. This guy's sculpting skills are insane...it's so exact to the drawing.
And anyone recognize this guy?

I think that's from Otomo's ad campaign for canon (or was it nikon?) camera back in the late 80' early 90's. Its in one of Otomo's art books.

Well spotted. I'd almost forgotten about that ad campaign.
And the music, before someone asks...

Subject 28.
GOOD GOD MAN.
That is the most amazing collection I've ever seen!! Are you a millionaire or something?? How the hell did you get all those amazing pieces?
I don't own any original AKIRA art. As a child I dreamed of one day owning a Kaneda and bike cel. But that's for Bill Gates level guys. I have accepted the fact that I'll probably never even SEE one, let alone own one.
But someday I hope to own SOMETHING. A real douga, a cel....I don't care if it's just a crappy background character or something...just to own an original piece of the most amazing animated film of all time would be a thrill.
And you have more than "a piece"...you have an insane collection!! Thank you so much for sharing the pics!!

THAT is awesome. I looked at Deviantart, Facebook and ArtStation and couldn't find prints for sale. PM me if you are selling. Thanks.

Hey fellow Otomo fans!
First of all, check out this new Toyota commercial directed by Otomo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YelRmax0DoE
Second of all, remember the ridiculously expensive Tribute to Otomo art catalog from France last year?
Kodansha just published the English version. It's actually much better cause not only is it a hell of a lot cheaper, it's a hardcover now and includes almost double the art! Of course, only the cover is by Otomo. The original was all French guys and all that is still included, but now there's a bunch of Japanese artists too, like Masashi Kishimoto, the artist of Naruto.
Here is his take on AKIRA:
And here's another one by.....uh....some Japanese artist. I forget who. But it's a good pic:
And here's the English version next to the limited original French version:
Go pick it up off Amazon today!

Testuo will stay in the coffin for awhile...Thanks for the heads up on the ankle joints...
As for the official Kaneda; $150.00 will beat any price out there... I'll wait it out; but a $50.00 for the non-official version, the bike seats not empty...
It's also made pretty well...

I still want a pair of custom goggles to hang around the neck of mine.
I was looking for WWII era motorcycle goggles cause those seem closest, but haven't found anything quite right.
If someone were ambitious (crazy) enough to carve one off of the alternate head and cast it, I'd love that option, but I doubt anyone would do that to an expensive figure.
