This eight pound, eleven inch statue is apparently an award given out by Nintendo to a select few for hard work or special contributions each year. The seller states that the statue goes through many changes over the years, but this model is from 2002.
Come on, Link…you know something can’t be pretty unique. It’s unique or it’s not.

Unique = one-of-a-kind. If there’s nothing like it, there’s nothing like it. It can’t be a pretty unique item, because if it’s not completely unique, then it’s not unique at all. It’s a common mistake, but a mistake nevertheless.

1. existing as the only one or as the sole example; single; solitary in type or characteristics: a unique copy of an ancient manuscript.
2. having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable: Bach was unique in his handling of counterpoint.
I don’t see what it can’t be modified with a proceeding word such as “relatively”.

Of course…what do I know? I’m just a professionally-trained writer.
I think you meant preceding, by the way.
(What can I say? It’s not that often that I get to flaunt my grammatical accuracy, so I get a bit cocky.)
