Rare/Bizarre Merchandise

[Shiyonasan]

Anybody want a life-size Astro Boy figure for the low, low price of 324,000 yen? (That's about $2638.23 in US currency.)

The figure is 135 centimeters tall (a little over 4 feet 5 inches) and 30 kilograms (about 66.1 pounds). The body is made of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), and the internal part of the body is made of iron with the exception of the heart, which is made of metal.

Only 100 figures of this are being made.

What a great item! If I only had the space for it. I think it would be great to say, "Hi!" each morning to Atom(u)!

What's the heart made of?

[Earthshine]

Wow.

I can see this item being part of the decor for a comic shop.

[Shiyonasan]

What's the heart made of?

Metal.

[Tetsuwan Penguin]

Too bad it's not poseable.
Really amazing that they made it Atom's exact size and weight (does that include the stand?)

I'm going to assume yes. It looks like Atom is attached to the pedestal, but the description on the website it's being sold on doesn't specify if the listed weight includes the pedestal as well.

Kinda want...
But yeah, would be better if he was just a little poseable

[Little Brown Fox]

I was kind of interested in it, until I got a look at that face... maybe he looks better in person, though? As it is, he looks pretty silly. But it'd still be kind of cool, I guess; I mean the concept is cool.

[Rejoyce]

Yeah, the face is kind of weird. And when I asked about the heart I meant the exception part, since the insides are made of iron... The google translated website isn't much help. Whatever, it's not like I can afford this anyway. I wonder who'll buy these?
