You Can Get A Life-Sized Bust Of Okami's Amaterasu Next Year For $725
If you still hold a torch for Capcom's Zelda-like game (no, not those Capcom Zelda games) Okami, you're in luck. If you also have $725 plus shipping in disposable income lying around, you're extra in luck!
Capcom and First4Figures have teamed up to release a life-sized bust of Okami protagonist and sun god Amaterasu. The bust is gorgeously detailed and includes what I imagine is a life-sized rendering of Issun, the wandering artist who helps Amaterasu on her adventure. The whole bust is 26.5 inches tall and weighs 19.2 kilograms (42.3 pounds).
For an in-depth look at how the statue was made, check out the video below. For images of this impressive, expensive statue, head over the the figure's store page.
