Amenbo has it in stock. www.amenbo.com/cgi-bin/index/index-e.cgiLooking forward to impressions of those who are planning on gettting it. I'm on the fence cause something about the scale is off to me. I think Kaneda is a bit big? j*ryu

He looks like a little kid that has outgrown his stroller. Also, we're used to seeing the bike with all the decals.

Humm your right I never noticed that. Kaneda does seem a bit big. You know what though? I'm getting this for the bike, Kenada can stay in the box.

thats the one and only thing that has concerned me abou this piece. He has always seemed too large for it.
Will the Final delivered piece have a smaller Kaneda? Will he look more in proportion in person?
lets us know folks!

Here's a shot of the box: Looks like Kaneda's scale hasn't changed. Oh well. I still may get it but like Arbito, I may have to display the bike by itself *or* customize a Kaneda figure out of a Microman frame. They should have at least made this figure poseable like the Koji figure from PX01 so that you could pose him standing beside it. j*ryu

Kaneda should have been the size of the Guncannon in the pics. The bike is also much smaller than I thought it would be. If that Rei figure is any indication, then it's almost in scale with Microman-sized vehicles. j*ryu

yeah.. like McFarlane's, i was hoping Kaneda would sit "IN" the bike instead of on it like a vespa.
im still willing to wait till i see it in person before i pass too much judgement...
anyone notice that this boxed bike comes with stickers pre applied? i for one think its a great idea

How does it compare to the PX-02 Masked Rider in terms of size? It would be nice if they were in similar scale, so they would look good next to each other.

Thanks a lot for posting those!
While i like the Bandai bike...McFarlane has got the scale between bike and rider right.
COnsidering the number of legendary model makers in japan.. i was expecting a great deal more of Kineda.
this bike should look scary to open the throttle Full...but the rider makes it look like single stoke 50cc moped!
I definately think the rider will have to stay in teh box..i may avoid the model all togeather... any one that OKed that figure should loose their job.
(Unleashed, please dont take offence. This is still awsome..I'm just dissaponted. Bandai should have made it job 1 to out-do the now rather old McFarlain toy)
