That's........a lot of cash. I can live in Chiba (where one of my childhood friend lives) for half to a week with that amount of yen...


Then again, limited edition... I guess....

That's really cute, but even if I was a huge fan of Pikachu I wouldn't get it because of the price.

Its proportions look weird to me. Not Pikachu-like at all. The arms should be further forward and the legs stubbier.

And paying that much, I'd rather get a real live Pikachu. ... Then again, maybe not.

Buy a real teddy bear.
The effect is the same and you don't have to take out a mortgage to pay for it. Laughing

Hmm... Yep, I think I'll go with the Build-A-Bear Pikachu instead, I find that it looks cuter and it can even talk. Steiff Pikachu looks a bit off with its arms being too short; plus, it's too expensive to buy at $365 anyway.

All of this company's teddy bears cost this much or more. Steiff is a high-end teddy bear manufacturer, the Rolls-Royce of the industry.

Steiff actually invented the teddy bear, and Steiff bears on the antique market (ie pre-1915) regularly fetch 5, and sometimes 6, figure sums...

...but can you stay alive long enough to reap a profit in 2115!
