The idea behind today’s wacky Japanese item isn’t really all that weird. No weirder than, say, a diamond encrusted iPod, anyway.
In March 2007, Bandai – the toy company – announced that they are going to make a model of a Gundam Mobile Suit from pure platinum. A diamond was also used as part of the head of the figure.
The figure is 12.5cm tall and weighs 1.4 kg. It is estimated to be worth US$250,000.
