Meta Knight Takara Figure

A request came in the other day for expensive figures. Those types of figures usually fall in one of two categories, they are either modern day premium figures like the Inkling Girl Figma DX or rare and vintage figures like this Meta Knight here. He’s actually a plastic model from a line of several Kirby figures that Takara put out before merging with Tomy. I believe these came out in 1999 but I don’t quite remember. I suspect their msrp was around $10 however they now go for upwards of $100 pre-built, and more when sealed!
