if i had me a chisel and a carving knife, i still wouldn't be able to make this wooden gundam

... thinking back, sometimes i do regret not taking much interest in technical workshops in school, especially Woodcraft ... most times content to 'talk-cock' (ie: talk meaningless shitte) with me mates, with the only ever "complete" wooden-item/project being a simple door wedge. (long has the wedge gone off to where wooden-wedges go after being abandoned... and no, ice-cream-stick crafts don't count LOL) - not that that'll mean i could have carved out anything like this 30cm-tall Wooden Gundam, innit?

Japan's LaLaBit lists it @ 50,400YEN (US$432+) per, for a scheduled mid-October release ... i wonder if it is articulated? ... needless to say, i wouldn't be lighting-up a cigarette around this figure if i were you ... *heh*
