Anime merchandise can get a bit extreme at times – remember the 2 million yen ($17,000) life-size statue of Saekano‘s Megumi Sato?
AKIHABARAゲーマーズ本店『アニまるっ!FES!!』会場にて、あずにゃん等身大フィギュアの展示がスタートしました(^O^)
あずにゃんは写真撮影OKとなっております!

Not to be outdone, Animaru recently opened pre-orders for a life-sized statue of K-On! member Azusa Nakano. The statue features an “Azu-nyan button” that plays the voice of Ayana Taketatsu calling the purchaser’s name. You’ll also receive Taketatu’s autograph.
Oh, and Azusa will set you back 2.2 million yen ($19,640). The statue stands at 150 cm (4-foot, 9-inches) and weighs 25 kg (55 pounds).
But don’t get too jumpy, because only 22 Azusas are being made and purchasers will be chosen by a lottery. Pre-orders are open through December 18th and the winners will be announced on December 25th.
