RX-78-2 GUNDAM

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 20 June 2007 in Miscellaneous.

This is a photo of a RX-78-2 GUNDAM 1/12 scale model that I saw once in Asakusa. I am sure it is still there because the price for this big toy is ¥350,000 which is the equivalent to $2,836.75.
I like video games, comics, anime, fantasy and action figures of characters but when I see things like this I start thinking that it is to much. With that amount of money I could buy a new Camera or the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection just to give you some examples, but anyway, I appreciate the effort of the person who made this, it looks really cool when you see it in person, almost my height, impressive!

Thank you for your visits and comments, have a wonderful day!

Cool! I guess this is a toy for someone who has everything. Is it just an action figure, does it have other features? For that price is should have a chamber full of candy or something...

@Laurie: Thank you very much Laurie, I don't think it has a chamber full of candies, I am not sure about the features of this super special toy! =)

I remember Gundam! Haha, I was never into it, but a lot of my peers were. XD

One of my favorite animes!!! So great vivid colors! I would have preferred to see the legs, though. But still cool! =)

@paperdoll: Thank you very much Paperdoll, the reason I didn't posted a photo with the legs is because then you will see the sign with the price and I thought it was distracting! =)

Cool photo! I'm always astounded by how expensive these things can be.

I also uploaded the real deal from Odaiba over at my page, http://tcsuliv.aminus3.com/tag/gundam

@timothy sullivan: Thank you Timothy, the Gundam in Odaiba is huge, I would love to see it myself and makes me wonder, what will happen when they become real, or if they will ever produce them for real!
