Now here is a real rarity. I have only ever seen this up for auction once, and I made sure to win it.

It’s painted terracotta, and I’m terrified I’m going to drop it or otherwise break it someday. I need to get it mounted in some kind of museum quality case or something. I’m absolutely not joking here. I think I paid around $120 for this one, but I’d honestly pay a lot more for one if they’d ever show up on auction again.

There is not much to say about this one, it’s already obvious this is one of the coolest things to ever be made.

Edit: As of late June 2021, one of these has appeared on Japanese auction sites. It’s currently listed at around $200 or so, and it has a busted up arm with missing fingers, and is in overall poor condition. What a shame!
