Mobile Suit Gundam made of platinum and diamond for all Gundam freaks
Attention all Gundam fans!!! Here’s one collectible you wouldn’t want to miss. Bandai and Ginza Tanaka have teamed up to create a Mobile Suit Gundam made from pure platinum. Called Gundam Fix Platinum, the giant toy robot features 89 separate parts and a head adorned with a 0.15 carat diamond.
This platinum Gundam is 12.5-cm tall and weighs 1.4-kg. It was brought into existence by Hajime Katoki, who is a mechanical designer and also is a great illustrator recognized for working in a variety of animations and games. This platinum Gundam was possible only after two long years of tiring efforts and process of production. The prime aim of creating this platinum Gundam is to imbibe the elements of platinum with the persistent image of the Gundam. Ginza Tanaka has the impression that this will add to the value of platinum while Bandai wants to propagate the popularity of the Gundam’s name as one of the popular animation show telecasted on Japanese TV. The BASELWORLD 2007 will be represented by this platinum Gundam at a watch and jewelry show. One Gundam miniature is worth $41.468.
