A trip to Akihabara or Nakano Broadway gives the impression that there are dolls and figures available for every anime and game series known to man — plus a few more just for good measure.
The soon to be released giant Gundam toy however stands out from the crowd somewhat, as it measures a whopping 1.5 metres.
A size eclipsed only by the price tag, which is a bank account busting 350,000 yen (1,570 pound). The cost ever so slightly justified by the fact that the figure boasts 14 movable body parts — allegedly 2 more than the pint-sized promotional lady also pictured.

I’ll take the “model” behind! God damn Gundam, she’s a beauty!

It would actually have to walk about shooting people to be worth that kind of money. Starving people in Africa, etc
The sheer waste in tooling costs alone… Dear God, and it only has 14 moving parts?
If we’re going to be really picky, it’s about 4 metres too short to be really impressive. It’s shorter than that woman, and she’s Japanese, so she’s hardly likely to be pushing six foot, is she?
