Final Fantasy XII is a splendid role-playing game. In fact, I've recently started replaying it. I forgot how great the story was. I like it, but I don't like it enough to buy this piece of memorabilia.
Importer Play-Asia has a 1:1 scale Judge Magister Gabranth helmet on sale for the low and completely reasonable price of $1099. This bitch is life-sized. By putting it over your head, you could be come almost as imposing and powerful-looking as Gabranth himself. And it will protect your head from all the bullies making fun of you for wearing it and spending that much.
Here's Play-Asia's description from their mailer:
Gabranth's helmet is scaled at 1/1 life size and crafted to an excellent degree, complete with the dark metallic colorings, tarnished golden trimmings and carvings along the mask. Feel the power that exudes from it to fully appreciate the strength of the characters who has been wearing it.
They seem to try to justify the price by suggesting that you could pass this down as a family heirloom. That very thought boggles the mind.

That thing is a neck breaker probably...
You forgot because it's so damn unmemorable.
Apart from Basch. He was the Jecht of that game. Manliness incarnate.
FXII is the antithesis of Final Fantasy games; where the gameplay outshines the characters and narrative.
Truth be told - the judges, Balthier and Basch were the only characters that weren't bland as batshit. Penelo? WTF... she was completely irrelevant.
Totally indecent price.
