The Life Sized Ken is not just run of the mil, it’s covered in Gems valued at about $130,000 for the stones alone. So the winning bid which translate to roughly $40,000 is a steal for this figure.Well at least it was for a good cause, because 10 % of winning bid were donated to the Red Cross of Japan for Earthquake relief.
All I have to say is that this Kenshiro is badass and over the top. “You are already dead!”
The life-size Fist of the North Star figure — that happens to be inlaid with 500,000 Swarovski crystals — received a final bid of 3 million yen (about US$39,000) in a December auction on the Yahoo! Japan website. The crystals alone on this statue of manga lead character Kenshirō are worth 10 million yen (US$130,000).
