the story:

Human-Sized Eva Spear Auctioned for 13.7 Million Yen
The animation company Gainax and the Evangelion Store have auctioned the human-sized Spear of Longinus replica from the Eva at Work art exhibition for a final bid of 13,727,000 yen (about US$121,100) on Friday. As inspired by a crucial element in the Neon Genesis Evangelion psychological drama anime, artisan Kaoru Watanabe forged this 2.2-meter (7.2-feet) double-helixed spear from 28 kilograms (62 pounds) of steel.

they didn't even paint it red :omg: why the fk would you pay so much for it ;x

I read this some while back somewhere. Ones again proves my theory that Japanese people are somewhat crazy, and the world is filled with people who have too much money.
