If you really, reeeeally like One Piece, and have deep pockets, what may well be the ultimate collectible for the franchise has surfaced. There are two statues available to purchase and each are made of 24K gold and fashioned to look like Monkey D Luffy. Though this time his straw hat is made of solid gold.
The statues were crafted by Tokuriki Honten and one of them stands 180mm (~7″) tall and weighs 1300g (2.86 lb). It can be yours for 20 million yen, or about $189,436 USD. The other statue is significantly smaller at 100mm tall (~4″) and weighs just 32g (~1.12 oz.)
That smaller golden statue is yours for just 650,000 yen or about $6,147 USD. You will need to pay tax on top of that too, but at least you don’t have to bite it to be sure it’s real gold.
