Japan’s Life Sized Gundam Now Complete!

gundam-06 Imagine yourself driving along the express way. You approach a curve and you turn your steering wheel and your car gently slides to the side, tracing the shape of the road. Suddenly a gigantic 100 ft. robot with cannons, missiles, and a beam saber glares down on you with a vengeance. That, my dear friends, is actually something you will experience if you go to Japan today. The life size Gundam that they started building several months ago is now complete and man it’s definitely an amazing sight! I’m sure that a lot of anime fans around the world will make that site a mecca of sorts. Personally I’m willing to actually spend on a trip just to see this thing because I’ve been a huge fan of the Gundam series since I was a kid. Now that they have this statue, the next challenge will be to make it start moving! Hahaha. A full pic of the entire “structure” after the break.

    If they can make one really moving (start with using Asimo’s program) and decent materials used on Gundams that could help eradicate terrorist.

    er… gundams do not have rockets or missiles

    the only onboard weapons that the rx-78 has is the vulcans and the two beam sabres sticking out of its back.
