This is one pricey action figure! Platinum plated and diamond studded, this shiny little robot worth $250,000 can do some serious damage...to your wallet. Not sure if it's for sale, although it is planning to make an appearance at Baselworld in Switzerland this month so if you're interested you might want to head in that direction.

I'm going to be really honest and say that I'm half impressed by such a classy looking "toy," and I'm thinking it's sure to bring some positive upscale press to the Gundam brand, but I'm also half laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. Come on, diamonds for eyes? Hilarious.

I, personally, am the BIGGEST Gundam lover in existence, and I know absolutely EVERYTHING about Gundam. So, I'm loving this, even if it isn't for sale. Gundam is brilliant, and story-wise it's amazing. And Gundam Wing is by far the best, especially artistically.
