Even In Wood, Gundam is Expensive

Platinum or hoss-sized, Gundam is not cheap. Take the figurine above. It's made from wood. WOOD. Still, like we said, not cheap! This July, a design firm within the Bandai Namco group is churning out limited edition, hand carved from high-grade fir 1/60 Gundams at ¥50,400 (US $420) a pop. Gundam, AKA rich otaku heroin.
