[Model] Sagittarius Gold Cloth 56cm

Well in these times of deep economic crisis, it would seem that Tamashii has come up with the most expensive Saint Seiya item ever. Due to be released in February 2009, this 56cm high replica of the Sagittarius gold cloth will go for sale at the astonishing price of, wait for it, ¥105,000 ...

Yes, if you don't really grasp the extend of the value for that object, this is equivalent to £700, $1,050 or €850.

It is a nice piece when you look at it, it is also rather large, so if you have the money, you'll also need to have room. Needless to say, I have far better things to spend my money on but if you are the "must have it all" kind of fan, then be prepared to eat noodles for a very long time!

Thanks to Trevor for the head's up. For more information (in Japanese) check the official Tamashii page: http://tamashii.jp/special/tc_sagittarius/
