You're over there in Japan right now,right? Do me a favor and pick one up for me,when you get back to the states I'll send you a check.

...I'd either NEVER make items so exclusive that it would alienate the "collect them all" buyers...

...or I'd whip out something like this to appeal to the "buy it only if it's a cool figure" crowd.

Some sick part of me wants this.
Even sicker, that might not be impossible.

It looks like it's got some articulation on there too... that makes it way better than a static Jumbo-esque figure.

Hahah...$20k, huh? Well, we know that Bandai uses CAD to design their toys...I wonder if they could use my company's product, FiberSIM (yes, this is my day job! I'm literally a rocket scientist), to develop the design and manufacturing plan for toys like these in the future!

(somehow, I doubt that's real carbon fiber composite fabric!)

Is it to say that "See, we (BANDAI)can make a figure made out of titanium, carbon fiber, etc."I guess a person would buy this but WHY??? Does it feed some rich, self-centered person's ego to have this since there would only be a few made? Those two reasons are the only ones I can think of the minute I saw this.

The fact that we are talking about it is the reason.

It's similar to the Hyper Hybrid Gundam stuff, just on a far more grandiose scale. Very few bought them, but they were always talked about.

Just like those, expect to see them on display in some of the hard core shops in Japan to show how uber they are.

Looks like they scaled up the GX-01R design for this thing.

I think companies such as Bandai does items like this to show than can handle projects such as these as a matter of pride, sort of like a show car made by automobile manufactures, less to be sold to average collector. Yes they can provide you with one but it more to show what kind of skill they have to vendors, dealers and customers.

Well done!

Are you sure on the price? I saw it as ¥200,000, which is much more in line with what it could reasonably cost. (~$2,000).

You can just make out in the bottom of the first picture a 2 followed by 2 groups of 3 zeros (6).

Am I the only one more interesting in knowing if Josh got to meet Go Nagai than about this trophy piece none of us are ever likely to have?

Is this the first chogokin to be capable of like reflecting bullets or re-entering earth's atmosphere?

Holy cow hershey's brown cow!

We'll that's all I can get my mind to say right now

..

WAY beyond overkill! Whew!

The legs are static-fixed pose. Way too much cash to not have the joints and legs be on par with the Neo Jumbo Mazinger-Z.

Grandzinga....
