What’s that? It’s a Gundam!

Ignore the thing coming out of its ass...

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the anime Gundam, a 1:1 scale of the RX-78-2 model was constructed in Odabai Shiokaze Plaza, Tokyo.

The Gundam is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame, unfortunately not Luna Titanium armor.  The model dons fifty light emitting points and fourteen points that shoot out mist. It can even move its head.

The Gundam is only going to be on display for about two months in the Odabai Shiokaze Plaza, so if you want to lay your eyes on this amazingness in person, go now!

You can sleep now Tokyo, knowing you are safe...for now.

You can check out more pictures at the Pink Tentacle.

    I think I just had a Gundasm!

  2. Didn’t Sony put one of these up in Home as well? I haven’t logged on to Home in quite some time, as the whole thing is rather retarded, so I have to rely on outside reporting to find out what stupid thing has been put up there recently.
