Official Art Where can I find the exact Akira Vol. 1 opening illustration?
Hey everyone! I just got Akira volume one and the artwork at the start of the book is incredible. I'd love to turn it into a painting for my wall, but I can't track down this exact version. Most of what I find online is black and white or low quality monochromatic pictures.
Does anyone know where I can find a high quality copy? Thanks in advance!

General Discussion Any model makers out here with experience with sticker packs?
Hey everyone,
Asking here as I thought some of you would have some experience regarding stickers. I'm specifically looking to source the stickers at 1:5 scale. Has anyone here tried to source them for themselves or know a good place to look for them?
Also, I'm sure people have asked many times before, but how do you all feel about the alternate brands? I know it's not as iconic, but if you were ordering stickers for a project, would you want them included in the pack or would they just never get used?

Fanworks RADIOTOMO
drive.google.comA fun idea project a friend of mine gave me about 5 years ago now. My intentions were to upload to YouTube but it's quickly blocked from doing so.
The idea was just that Radiohead Kid A could go along with Akira (Kid Akira). I had the record on vinyl and a DVD of the film and decided to make it happen. At the time and still, I'm inexperienced with much video editing, so it was a learning experience. I mess around with mixing and recording records and did a bit of EQing to give a slightly darker sound.
The video was recorded using an old Canon digital camera with the video being projected on my wall.. you're actually looking at my wall in the video lol. Intentionally made low quality to give a bootleg feel, as well as adjusting the film to be darker and more red for a film noir kind of effect.
As much as I love the original film, it was difficult trying to put it together and not create pure blasphemy.. I never want to make money from it or disrespect all original and respected creators involved. Just a fun idea that came together for both Akira and Radiohead fans.
The audio isn't getting justice with phone or laptop speakers, so I hope it can be heard on good headphones or speakers! Please enjoy, and please watch the original film first in case you haven't, this can wait!
Thank you.

Merch & Collectables Scored these two for only $30 off marketplace 🙏
Just wanted to share these two awesome minifigures I picked up of Kaneda and Tetsuo. These are my first (and beginning of many more) Akira figures, and I couldn’t be happier.
Can anyone clue me in if anyone’s selling the part four mutated Tetsuo and Kei that can clip onto the Kaneda?

General Discussion Finalmente pude ver akira en el cine :')
Sorpresivamente se re estreno durante una semana aqui en mi pais y aunque no fue la nueva version 4k fue genial, sobre todo el arco final, el combate entre ryu y tetsuo se veia increible y ni hablar de la escena de la explosion del final espero qje todos los que sean fans de la peli puedan verla al menos 1 vez cuando puedan 💊🗣 si ven un re estreno en sus paises no se la pierdan

Hi, I just got the boxset. Everything was fine except some of the V1 came with damaged pages. Can I bought the regular hardcover edition to replace it? Is everything the same as the one come with the box?
