This Anime Statue Is Worth Nearly $600,000

What is it made of gold? Damn right it is. Pure gold.

To mark the 10th year anniversary of its Saint Seiya figure line, Bandai is releasing a solid gold Sagittarius statue.

Tokyo’s Ginza Tanaka oversaw the creation of the statue, which is valued at 60 million yen (US$585,247). The gold alone weighs two kilograms! According to NariNari, Bandai has plans to put the pricey piece on display sometime this year in Japan and in Taiwan.
