Platinum Gundam On Display In Nagoya
After initially being shown in Fukuoka, the 30-million yen platinum Gundam created by Ginza Tanaka and Bandai is now on display in Nagoya:
The figure from the anime Mobile Suit Gundam, which was first broadcast in 1979 and remains hugely popular today, was showcased at Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry’s Nagoya store. It was jointly produced by the jewelry store and major Japanese toy manufacturer Bandai.
The platinum creation is 12.5 centimeters tall and weighs 1.4 kilograms. It was made from 89 separate parts. Platinum is harder than gold, and officials said this made the figure more difficult to process.
Although the figure is not officially for sale, officials gave a reference price of 30 million yen. It will be displayed at the store in Nagoya until Sept. 3, before being moved to stores operated by Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry in Osaka and Tokyo’s Shinjuku district.
Anyone going to see it when the display reaches their area?
