World’s most expensive Hello Kitty figure
“The Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo has announced that it will sell one Hello Kitty figure made of pure platinum. Priced at 18.9 million yen (UK£82,585 / US$163,358), it is reportedly the most expensive Hello Kitty figure ever produced. It will go on sale on Tuesday.
The shiny figure is 5.6 centimeters high and weighs 590 grams. Its owner can attach seven different ribbons made of diamonds, rubies, and other precious gems to the figure and use it as a pendant.
The department store has put the figure on display in its special Christmas section. The buyer will be able to take the unique piece home on Dec. 21 — albeit with a much lighter wallet. (Mainichi)“
If I was loaded, I’d definitely add this to my brother’s girl’s Hello Kitty collection. Sadly, I’m no where near being loaded… sigh. Oh, well, my break will come sooner or later…
Use it as a pendant? Weighing in at 590 grams, I’d like to see a girl go jogging with that. That’s almost a guaranteed broken collarbone/black eye/missing tooth there!
ooohh! I know what I’m asking Santa for!
Some people will buy anything…
