Capcom is releasing a solid gold Mega Man statue that would look great on any collector's shelf. The catch? It costs nearly $22,000.
To celebrate the character's 30th anniversary - which actually took place in December last year - this statue has now been put up online for pre-order. It measures in at approximately 100mm (which is just under 4 inches), is made up of 99.99% pure gold, and weighs 90g. As mentioned above, as lovely as it is, the thing isn't cheap, costing a whopping 2.4 million yen (approx. $21,673 / £16,711). If you're planning to go through life without a family, mortgage, vehicle, or food, this one might be for you.
If that model is slightly too expensive, a smaller model is also on offer. At 60mm tall, weighing just a third of the original model at 30g, this smaller variant will cost you 690,000 yen (approx. $6,227 / £4,800).
If you're sitting on an actual goldmine, or if you'd like to check out the product listings for yourself, pre-orders are being taken right here. They come with their display cases as standard, which you'd certainly be hoping for considering the price.
Are you a Mega Man fan? Would you like to have one of these on your shelf at home? Feel free to share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Why does it look like he's dabbing...
Well 90 grams of gold is worth $3,475.46 and 30 grams is $1,158.49
Therefore not worth it
If you're the head of security at Fort Knox, why not fashion ALL the gold into statuettes of game characters?
This is not for me. I only collect SUPER rare stuff, like Amiibo and Classic Minis.
Who needs a car when you can have a solid gold Mega Man?!
@Bunkerneath it’s pure gold,so it’s way higher than even 24 carat
@Pod They could arrange gold bars like the 12-pack sodas at supermarkets!!
No thanks I don't like wasting money
I'd only buy that if it's gold dusted chocolate.
@AxeltheBuizel
It's his pose from the original Mega Man's title screen.
But it looks a lot different since it's using a more modern appearance than his originally chubbier one.
@RupeeClock I figured, and I was kinda joking, but honestly I don't like the pose. It just looks kinda strange.
I ‘ll take two.
Have $22,000? Buy a Rockman Statue or you know.. spend it on something that will help make the world a better place.
But does it have Amiibo functionality?
Has there been a market for these or something?
@MoonKnight7 more like a place to live lol
For the record, that is not a dab. A dab requires your face to be in your cubital fossa, not across your chest.
Mega Man has more class than that.
Of course I could afford it but I’ll wait for a solid gold Samus
Thats not too bad. It's only a bit more expensive than what the gold mega man Amiibo goes for.
Even if I were sitting on a literal goldmine this statue doesn't look that nice IMHO so I wouldn't buy it.
@Navitroid That sounds painful. I wouldn't sit on this Goldman statue either. I think it looks nice, but not that nice.
-G-
GET EQUIPPED
WITH
BANKRUPTCY
@roadrunner343 even though I edited that so fast >.>
But does it come with free shipping?
I can see Maximilian Dood getting this and having it on display on every stream. His community is big, even attracted the legendary donator Probait to his ranks, and more importantly, its better than the Infinity Easter Eggs.
I'll wait till I find it in that pawn shop.
Who the hell is this for?
@Smilegang1337 Actually, 24 carat IS pure gold !
$ 22,000 = 1 Dance Dance Revolution Ace Arcade for me.
@Zeraki
"Who the hell is this for?"
King Midas will love it.
@MoonKnight7 that would have been a great idea, a car from Battle and Chase, or the bike/ride armor from the X games. Surprised star wars didn't sue with that Vile Boba Fett ripoff lol.
