It's like a naked Musha Gundam. I'd love to see Bandai translate that into a figure or gunpla.

Note: The Sankaku link contains an image that might not be work safe (small dragon raping a woman).

Anyway, Just think. You could buy 25 of these for the price of ONE naked ejaculating statue. Personally, I'd rather have the Gundam painting.

Yeah, uh, I'm not sure that link is appropriate for a site with this demographic. Seriously.

I agree. People here are not some high-brow art appreciators. Gundam getting recognition as a fine art is something else really. Who would've thought an icon based from a kiddy cartoon made back in late 70's get treated in a level of museum/gallery exhibition? Let alone someone spend $600K for a painting?
