Nike and Honda aren't the only people doing hybrids now. Dave Bondi's AKASHI figure is a great smash-up of two of the worlds most noticeable characters, Mickey and Mario. The physical features of both melt together seamlessly as each lend a "hand" into creating something new. AKASHI stands a proud 9? tall and is limited to only 200 pieces.
