Maybe all of you Zelda collectors know the existence of it.
I'm so happy that today I could put my hands ( a glover more than hands because I was scared of damaging the golden paint ) on one of the holy grails for any Zelda Collector. 
This statue was realized to be given as a Club Nintendo reward for 15.000 points collected (consider that for 1 game you gain 250 points so VERY MANY POINTS) and it was gone pretty soon causing a Club Nintendo points rush to get this statue before it would have been out of stock.
It was realized in just 3800 pieces worldwide and only available through Nintendo of Europe. This is the  NO 1352/3800 .
It was the most expensive reward of the catalog of all times.
I attached some photos to make you see the wonderful details. This statue is REALLY HEAVY. It was hard for me to lift it to make the photo of the number.
It's really big (look at the BIC pen next to it, it seems very very small. I also received it with its original box, inner poly and also plastic bags!! 
I wanted to let you know the existence of this small piece of Zelda art for people who ignore its existence.
Hope you enjoy photos!

I remember tons of people with 12-13.000 points looking for some rare games who had Club Nintendo points (not all the games had club nintendo points). You could sell points for a price from 3 to 6 euro.

Dont know about Japan, they got some crazy stuff over time. But that DS was the most expensive item in Europe even beating the Minish Cap SP set that cost 15,000 stars like the Zelda statue too if I remember correctly.

That statue is awesome. We never got anything even remotely close to that in North America.

Thank you for this information! I didn't know this! I just remember this thing about the statue because it was limited to a number of pieces. Europe sometimes has very good stuff!

That is really awesome!! It would really make any Zelda collection shine. You guys always get the good rewards.
I have to say, it does remind me of the Easter chocolate bunnies for some reason.

It is possible, I thought that too The only difference is that this golden one is maybe the only statue official from Nintendo ( on the box there's the sentence "TM and R(rights) are trademarks of Nintendo". It's rare to see something similar, most of the times Nintendo officially licenses 3rd party factories to make action figures for them( like for example f4f and Jakks Pacific). 
On the box there's written 2006. I didn't know it was from the first Wii age.
