Plastic? That's for wussies! Gold? Ha, whatever! Gundam is best in platinum. Measuring in at 125mm in length and weighing 1,400g, this platinum Gundam is made up of 89 parts has a .15 carat diamond buried in its noggin. A collaboration between Bandai and jeweler Ginza Tanaka, the statue is valued at US $250,000 and will be on display at the Basel World 2007 watch and jewelry trade fair in Basel, Switzerland. More bling than bang or boom! Brian Ashcraft
