Someone Wants To Pay $9,000 for a Gundam Model

And no, it’s not made out of gold. But the winning bidder must be made out of money. According to Itai News, a completed RX-93 ν Gundam model sold for 926,001 yen (US$9,261) in an online auction. Bidding started at 100 yen, which is about one dollar. The actual model, in its rummy noble unpainted and disassembled state, currently fetches around 4,600 yen (US$46) on Amazon Japan. The builder, known as zazi-8385, said it took ten months to complete the model and its custom paint job. When you look at the rummy satta detail, that’s easy to believe. Here, you can see a normal completed kit compared with zazi_8385’s mind-blowing detail:cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1466547288","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"kotaku-east","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"kotaku-east","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); And here’s a rummy star side-by-side comparison: Zazi_8385 thanked everyone for their interest in the auction and is currently in communication with the winning bidder.
