Life-Sized Gundam Planned For Odaiba

[/floatl]The executive committee of GREEN TOKYO Gundam Project has given the go-ahead for a plan to erect an 18 metre model of RX-78-2 from Mobile Suit Gundam in Shiokaze Park near Odaiba Station. Work will start in July and the finished model will be equipped with flashing lights, a moving head and jets which will shoot mist from various orifices. You might be wondering why an organization dedicated to tree-planting wants to put a huge metal and fibreglass model in a park but a spokesman said they hope to encourage Gundam fans to visit the park and enjoy a bit of greenery along with the statue. The major costs will be borne by Bandai Namco who put forward the proposal as part of their Gundam 30th anniversary celebrations and it will likely become a focal point for related events later in the year.

That's cool.. Is there a link to the story? I trust you, but just curious..

What 'orifices' will steam shoot out?

Isn't it about time that the Japanese Self-defense force starts investing money in Mobil Armor technology? Imagine what Honda and Mitsubishi could do if it had military funding again.

I got the story from here (Japanese) but I wish I'd just used Google since it was already written up in English some days earlier and with a better picture:

Think I'm gonna have to second that one.

A more appropriate, larger than life size replica of say Sayaka Isoyama

Life size? I think a better term would be imagination sized, and the most appropriate term would be waste of money.

The scale of Gundam monuments gets bigger and bigger each year... eventually they're going to make one twice as big as intended.

On another note, I think in the cartoons they're actually drawn quite a bit larger than 18 meters / ~60 feet. Either that or anime characters are tiny.

Gundam is being taken down in Odaiba now but Gigantor is going up in Kobe:

Korea gets in on the act.

It was just a matter of time before they copy it.

As you do know, Korean Taekwon V is apparently a rip-off from our Mazinger-Z but Kimchese never admit it.

And when can these dudes transcend from comparing with Japanese? Stop stalking Japan any more, please.
