A one-of-a-kind Darth Vader mask—crafted from 15 kg (33 pounds) of pure 24k gold—launches in Japan next week for 154 million yen (about $1.4 million USD). This dazzling sculpture celebrates the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope and Ginza Tanaka’s 125th year as Japan’s premier jeweler.
The Force must be extra strong with die-hard fans: not only is the price astronomical, but good luck lifting this 33-pound Sith Lord icon. For more wallet-friendly Star Wars gold collectibles, Ginza Tanaka also unveiled commemorative coins priced from $1,200 to $11,000—perfect for collectors seeking Darth Vader gold treasures or Star Wars anniversary jewelry.
