Recently, Square Enix announced the launch of a huge statue of Tina 1/6 of final fantasy 6 characters. Proportional to the statue's size is its price: the official offer includes 1,485,000 yen, or about 75,000 yen, including taxes. Not only that, but only 600 are produced worldwide, of which 150 will be sold locally in Japan. This high price has attracted the spit of Hironobu Sakaguchi, the father of the Final Fantasy series.
On Twitter, Sakaguchi said, "This is also too bad. It even cost the same as the diorama for FANTASIAN. Isn't that a little bad? Is Square Enix okay? ”
A fan in the review pointed out that at the previous "Final Fantasy" art exhibition by Amano Yoshitaka, the same art painting of Tina riding a magic guide mecha was only auctioned for 1.5 million yen, and the price was similar. However, as the only work of art, and it was the hand of Amano Yoshitaka, it was natural to sell it for a high price.
However, it must be pointed out that this 1/6 of the statue is very finely crafted, especially the details on the magic guide mech. According to the official introduction video, all 600 statues were handmade in Japan. But is it really worth the 70,000 5? It's up to the fans who like Final Fantasy to judge for themselves.
