This will be difficult to top. Expensive, too.
“This” is a life-sized statue of One Piece character Sanji prostrating himself before us, so we can plug stuff into the single port in the back of his head. There is a plug from his butt cheek to ensure Sanji has enough juice to charge your phone.
The tableau is from a scene when Sanji thanks Zeff, his mentor.
One Piece creator Oda Eiichiro has apparently called 2016 the “Year of Sanji” (neat!), and Yahoo! Japan offered this one-of-a-kind “Life-Sized Sanji Totally Full Charger” as a giveaway.
Websites Kai-You and Eiga.com were on hand to check out the wonderfully silly charger, which took over three months to finish and reportedly cost as much as a nice car to make.
