If this isn't the "King of all statues" then there is none :D incredible :)
This Anime Statue Is Worth Nearly $600,000
What, is it made of gold? Damn right it is. Pure gold.
To mark the 10th year anniversary of its Saint Seiya figure line, Bandai is releasing a solid gold Sagittarius statue.
Tokyo's Ginza Tanaka oversaw the creation of the statue, which is valued at 60 million yen (US$585,247). The gold alone weighs two kilograms! According to NariNari, Bandai has plans to put the pricey piece on display sometime this year in Japan and in Taiwan.
If you are curious about how big the statue is, check out Mainichi's photo coverage.
