The Most Expensive Toy in Japan – $41,468

Posted by Bill Belew on May 11th, 2007 in Japanese Products | No Comments

And you thought the Play Station 3 was overpriced.

How about a "Gundam Fixed Platinum?"

Japan's Ginza Tanaka and toymaker Bandai Co. unveiled a miniature of Japan's famous animated robot character – "Gundam."

The, um,  little fellow weighs in at a mighty small 1,400 grams (45oz) and stands 13cm (5") tall.

AND…he is made of pure platinum.

Aren't you glad it's just a miniature?

At today's prices, melted down, he would go for $41,468!

And my wife wonders why I don't want any more kids.

What's the dumbest thing you think someone can make out of platinum?

    That is really expensive. I don’t think I would buy that even if I can. I had an updated list of most expensive action figures here. You might want to look at them. Thank you.

    Have they ever made bearbricks out of precious metals? I’m sure I can remember seeing some bearbricks as jewellery, but I don’t if they were ‘official’ or not.

    I like the photo showing all of the camera men going hysterical over the thing. Whoever shot that is one smart photographer.

    $40,000+ action figures…
