If you have ever wanted to move around in a 13 foot tall mech suit then Amazon Japan has you covered with the Kuratas Mech Suit, on sale for just over $1 million. The Kuratas mech suit was built by a Japanese blacksmith, Kogoro Kurata and it has been in development for a few years now.
Unfortunately, you will need to assemble the whole thing yourself, pay extra for arms and live in the Kyoto area. The robot suit is 3.8 meters tall and weighs five tonnes. An earlier version of the suit came equipped with a BB Gatling gun that could shoot off 6000 rounds per minute but this won't be coming with the kit on sale.

Kurata does have a few caveats for potential buyers, there will be no discounted shipping through Amazon Prime and the arms are sold separately. You could still move around in the robot without the arms but if you are going to buy a mech suit, you may as well go all out and get the full experience.
Safety and comfort are not guaranteed, Kurata classes this as a toy, which might be a bit of a stretch. You can find the Amazon Japan listing, HERE.

pretty cool but still reaaallllyyy slow, curious about who on earth buys this, cheaper to simply build a full simulator for gaming
I imagine some serious collector would buy this just to say that he/she has one.
Mate if I had a million dollars to burn why would I choose anything other than a fully operational mech suit xD
Im gonna buy that and go full retard on you guys with the bb
maybe i didnt explain properly: buy mech? hell yeah, but this mech could use a lot of upgrades, specially in movement, i can think of at least 5 things you could do to make this better, this could be optimized soooo much, i was mainly referring to the fact that they sell it as a toy, and as a toy 10 simulator of this to play with friends is better and cheaper
… Did you eaven see the video ?! it is so bad made it is a freaking JOKE!
Look at the outfit the girl is wearing ! It is sham.
I don’t care how bad it looks… I want one xD
Nope. Just japan in a nutshell
