If you're a diehard Neon Genesis Evangelion fan in Japan with a lot of disposable income to burn, you're going to want to take a look at this six-and-a-half foot tall, $18,000 statue of Unit-01. It's a limited edition piece, with just 25 being produced, and you can get one for yourself at... 7-Eleven?
That's not exactly a brand I'd normally associate with Evangelion, but hey, it's Japan.
The statue is priced at 1.836 million yen (US$17,892), and is available in the normal Unit-01 colors, or in a "special" 7-Eleven color-scheme. I guess that one is for hardcore fans of both Evangelion and convenience stores.
You can purchase one at any 7-Eleven in Japan by filling out a form and bringing it to the register. This will be followed by a phone call from the company to begin a bank transfer (I'm guessing briefcases of unmarked bills are not acceptable forms of payment), and four months after that, your statue will be delivered and assembled for you.
If you don't exactly have $18k lying around, 7-Eleven will also be running a giveaway for one of each of the two color variants.
