What they have to do is get it lying down and open its cockpit, but put a big tarp on it. Then wait for a sixteen year old shut-in mechanic/inventor to take command of it.

If that doesn't work, Tohru Furuya is the best pilot for Gundam. Don't listen to his excuses of just being a voice actor, cram him in that thing and send him off to fight North Korea.

I chuckle a bit every time Adult Swim has this in one of their bumps because they play it up like they love Gundam and yet they got rid of it. Oh well, it's still just about the coolest thing I've seen.

I thought people were kidding when they said the Pokemon Center existed... have to add it to my MUST SEE list along with this Gundman now for certain...


Same with me.I'm also a pokemon fanatic,(got all three DS games and friend codes if anyone want them) so i adding that and that mammoth of a gundam are a must see for me.

With the way tecnology is going they'll have a whole army of Gundams by 2050.


That;s kinda farfetched if you ask me.I reallt doubt they'll have gundams in 2050,and if the mayan callenders and those 17th century schollars theory about 2012 being the apolocypse,we may not live to see 2050.

That's pretty freakin' cool.

Who knows, maybe Japan will go all out and open a park with life sized mechs. It could have stuff from Gundam, Macross, EVA, etc. Now that would be sweet. In a nerdy kind of way. Smile

Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator and a frequent director of the Gundam franchise, remarked on his surprise at how the statue's "toylike colors" looks against the city skyline.


I though the colors turned out a lot better then I imagined they would as well. You just wouldn't think that a giant animated robot that has a color scheme of bright red, blue, and yellow would translate to the real world that well. This is probable the greatest thing I've ever seen, aside from the Gundam U.C. universe of course.

Yeah, just think how much less death & destruction there would have been if WWII had continued on & the allies had to stage a full scale invasion of mainland Japan...

I don't hardly watch Gundam, but this just brings us a step closer to... Wait... That ain't good! But wait, post apocalyptic is cool! It'll take some explaining for my parents to understand, but once it's done, people will be running toward it.

This is awesome, now for a life-sized Gurren Lagann... Yes... woah, am I really that weird?

It would be cool if they made a real Gundam, but it would be AWESOME if they made a real Pokemon!

It will be Japan's defense if North Korea decides to attack them. ;D

During the month of August, the 2016 Tokyo Olympic/Paralympic Bid Committee's logo will be affixed to the statue to promote the city's efforts to bring the games to Japan.

Now now. We managed to make a successful Olympic bid, but affixing a committee logo to a full-scale model Dalek wasn't necessary in our case...
