Stuck for a Christmas present for that very special someone? Those with enough cash and a sufficiently heightened sense of cute might wish to splurge on a figurine of Sanrio's popular character Hello Kitty up for sale this month -- for 18.9 million yen (£18,300 $36,500).
The Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi department store in Tokyo has announced that it will sell one Hello Kitty figure made of pure platinum. Priced at 18.9 million yen, it is reportedly the most expensive Hello Kitty figure ever produced. It will go on sale on Tuesday.
The shiny figure is 5.6 centimeters high and weighs 590 grams. Its owner can attach seven different ribbons made of diamonds, rubies, and other precious gems to the figure and use it as a pendant.
The department store has put the figure on display in its special Christmas section. The buyer will be able to take the unique piece home on Dec. 21 -- albeit with a much lighter wallet.
