They say the best things in life are free, but we've recently found that they actually cost $349.99. That is how much it will take to get your hands on one of these limited edition Ninja Gaiden 2 figurines from First 4 Figures. The company has been awarded an exclusive license from Microsoft and Tecmo to produce these 1/4 scale figures based on the console game. There are a number of figures planned for the series, but the first to be released is the ninja that needs no introduction, Ryu Hayabusa. Only 1,999 total Ryu figures will be made, which helps to explain the high cost.
Also keep in mind that this is no small action figure: The 1/4 Ryu actually stands 31 inches tall from the tip of his scythe to the bottom of his stand. That is almost 2 1/2 feet, ensuring that Ryu will tower over anything else you might have in your collectibles cabinet.
To order, head on over to the official website. But hurry, even with such a spendy price tag, we expect these to sell out quickly.
