Metroid Prime Gunship Is Bright, Would Keep Napkins From Blowing Away

Do you have about $300 burning a hole in your pocket, fancypants? Let me help you solve that problem. For that much money you could buy…

16 gallon-sized jars of pickled eggs (containing a combined total of approximately 672 eggs)

Or

10 king-sized 250 thread count down-alternative blankets (in Blue Lagoon)

Or

1 human (Peruvian) female skull replica (with cranial binding)

If none of those options strike your fancy, you could blow it all on a single toy spaceship collectable. First 4 Figures has released new shots of its Metroid Prime Gunship. The piece, limited to a worldwide run of 750 units, is 12 inches tall and illuminated with a variety of LEDs. It won’t keep you as warm as those blankets or make your breath as fragrant as the pickled eggs, but it would certainly look good on a shelf.

Whether it would look better than that skull, on the other hand, is up for debate.
