Exclusive Final Wars Gigan?

From what varying translators tell me, it's one of 100 exclusive figures for people in the company. Maybe someone here can read it better than I (chances are good). Either way, I haven't seen it on CT or Vinylmaddness, so I thought it would be pretty cool if anyone could find other pics. The guys has been trying to sell it at this price for months now, so I'm guessing he paid a pretty penny for it, too. I'm just tired of seeing it all the time and never hearing anything about it. No way in hell it's worth $1,400 though...

This has been around for something like a year and a half. It's legit. It was a lottery giveaway around the time the GFW DVD came out.

I've seen the "100" figure on several sites, so I believe it. It appears you had to send in tags from 3 of the Movie Monsters figures, and 100 people's names were drawn as winners of this limited Gigan. I think I've seen a total of 3 of these for sale. The 2 that did sell went for around 80,000 - 90,000 yen (~ $700 - $800 US). I don't think that's outrageous when compared with the Pearl Godzilla -- which sells for around $450 and there were 750 of those.

Here's a pic of it with a verification letter:

Yes, I've seen this Gigan on MZ way back and it is legit. And no, a clear 6" figure is not worth that much money...... Wait to you become like Bill Gates or something, then $1,400 is just like $14.

The only other thing that might be worth noting, if you weren't able to tell, is that this is the 6" Gigan mold from the pink-tag MM line. So, it's even less bang for your buck than if it was the excellent 8" mold.
