You may be a die-hard Mobile Suit Gundam fan, but are you devoted -- and wealthy -- enough to pay $160,000 for a solid-gold statue of the iconic robot? OK, how about $5,200 for its silver counterpart.

Standing about 5 inches tall and weighing 35.3 ounces, the limited-edition figures were produced by Ginza Tanaka in collaboration with Bandai for "The Art of Gundam" exhibition, which continues through Sept. 27 in Tokyo. That's the same jeweler that created the solid-gold statues of Godzilla and Ghidorah last year in celebration of the King of the Monsters' 60th anniversary, and a platinum Gundam in 2007.

If you need just a little more time to dig up that $160,000, the statues will be available after the exhibition ends at the Ginza Tanaka store in Tokyo.
