An RX-93 Gundam model which fetched ¥926,001 over 311 bids at auction has amazed gunpla otaku and commoners alike – most of whom seem to think it might be worth the price.
The Gundam has been shown off in some detail (including comparisons of it to the standard kit):
Gundam fans have actually conceded it may be worth the price:
“Amazing!”
“What a pro. Considering the effort involved, I wonder if he breaks even.”
“He said it took him 10 months to complete…”
“The level of detail is ridiculous. This is no mere model.”
“Seems a waste if he made it just to sell it.”
“This is too cheap!”
“I’d buy this – if I have a million yen.”
“The Gundam bubble returns.”
“To think this started at 100 yen!”
“Bandai, scout this guy now!”

Well in this case...
scale 1/100 people ! This is too cheap for that much details !!!
You can get professionally painted and assembled resin kits from guys like G-System for way cheaper. Under 2000 dollars and the kits are full of LEDs and metal parts. Most of their kits are bigger too - 1/72 scale. Search the net for their 1/72 Kshatriya for the ultimate in gunpla detailing.
I was about to say, you could easily scout someone to make a custom for well under that price.
it's not just painted and assembled, if you look closely at the pics , you'll see he modified many of the parts.
Engrish aside, I'm waiting to get a price check on this guy doing a 1/50 scale. It better be fully operable with scaled missles.
Holy fucking shit. I think anyone who appreciates art, whether they like mechs or Gundam or not, has to agree this thing is a beauty...
Insanely awesome
This was Yutaka Izubuchi's final crowning achievement as an Mecha designer before him rolling off this side & into being a management director like his recent work in the Awesome 'Space Battleship Yamato 2199'! We also can't ignore the other beyond belief Mecha designer Hajime Katoki of Stardust Memories & the incredible Gundam Sentinel Book that led to dozens of incredible toys in the early '00s!

That model should've gone for far more than a measly 10k!!
Oh I'm in love, the detail is so good.
Beautifull......
Just too awesome.
“Seems a waste if he made it just to sell it.”
seems like good profit to me
Actually a normal salaryman's salary is about 3000-5000$/month. It took him 8 months to finish, don't know how many hours he spent on that.
?? did I seriously hear a salary man COMPLAINING about his work and payment?
OUTBREAK COMPANY DROPPED
Wow this is an amazing piece of work. I'd love to own it.
At that price it better be made of gundamium.
What you don't realized is that it's made of the special kind of plastic used in Gundam Build Fighters. :3
give this guy a little extra, and i'm sure he'll build a working one, i'm sure of it
10 months... damn, that's what I call commitment!
The detail is just -incredible-! And is it just me, or do the pieces look a little bigger than the ones used for comparison??
A true work of art, a total shame he sold it :/
Its beautiful!
as good and better as EVO V gundam from gogomodel

Wait, was this made by a company, or a single man? And if the latter one, how the fuck did he do it?
Looks like it could go into NT-D mode...
nothing is worth 10 grand unless you can fuck it, and this one clearly has no holes :/

the MOST EXPENSIVE GUNPLA in the WORLD
this is GG, God Grade !!!
You have to be the most hardcore gundam fan to want to buy that for $10,000 or rich
Looks very well done. May worth the price indeed.
Holy shit that is the most detailed gundam I've ever seen. The amount of time that was put into that...damn.
"You can't even appreciate it without a macro lens."
EXACTLY.
Normals have their concept of beauty, I have mine! And this is beautiful!
I'm sorry but unless you can actually get in it and fly no model is worth 10k
If you can get into the model and fly it, I doubt it'll cost just 10K.
I'm pretty sure an actual working gundam would cost in the realm of billions, not the tens of thousands.
So whats your opinion on paintings, sculptures, and other works of art worth 100k+.
The value of the art heavily depends on who the actual artist is/was...
Something IS only worth what someone will pay for it, PERIOD! If this was bought for 10K then 10K it is.
there are some prints (just authorized reproductions of the original) that are worth as much.. this is a bargain in comparison
10 months of work for only $10,000 seems a little unfair...
A 40 hours a week job at US minimum wage of $7.25 nets $11,600.00 before taxes.
Shit this looks pretty badass. Worth $10,000? Maybe. I'd say anywhere from $1000-$5000 is more accurate but that's just me.
Gosh, 10k for that model...
Almost worth it.
SHIEEETTT, what is this ultimate grade?
I thought Perfect Grade was godly... and then there's this.
Just wait until 3D printers become cheaper...
Wow! It looks amazing! 10k is a lot of money for a plastic model, but for the amount work in detail and how it looks. Kudos to the artist cause that's what it is, art!
Sweet fucking jesus those details and the complete overhaul of the kit.
To think this was a 1/100 scale which has the same amount of details if not more than perfect grade kits.
I'm fucking awestruck by this creation...
Apparently as a 3rd world broke asian college kid, my college tuition fee as well as daily necessities that will last me the whole college is equated to a single gundam.
And here I am wondering whether I'd get instant ramen or rice for dinner. I want to cry damnnit..
well, you can make a gundam like that and sell it.
Next project. ...BATTLE SCAR GUNDAM!
