The 1/1 scale statue of the Gundam RX-78-2 being built in Odaiba as part of Mobile Suit Gundam’s 30th anniversary celebrations now appears to be complete in all but name, as this extensive photoshoot of the famed mecha shows in glorious detail:
Via punynari, an otaku-sailor who posted these photos on his site, Moe Passion.
The Gundam is planned to be unveiled on July 11, and be shown until August 31st.
What exactly will happen then is unknown, although we can hope dearly that the statue will not be dismantled and can join the bronze Gundam statue as yet another must-see otaku icon.
More information on the mecha is available at the official Gundam 30th Anniversary website.

If it's walk, I take it :D
It still looks fake...
They should have gone for a more metal look instead of the plasic feel it has now...
Amuro is now ready to kick somebody's ass :D
Wow, now if only they built variable fighters from the Macross series, Knightmares from Code Geass and the Evangelions.
i like macross frontier who pilot the *red One*
i like the *yellow one*.....
i like the "blue one", it snipes....
Would it be bad luck to yell "IT'S A GUNDAM!" if I go to see it.
Question of the day: Who will win, Gundams of Transformers?
2D Gundam
3D Transformers
fair enough xD
*or
ORE WA GUNDAMU DAAAAA!!!!!
An Otaku's dream comes true, now it's the time for engineers's dream to make it work.
It's just EPIC and probably people go to pilgrimage to this. Count me in XD
With the completion of the RX-78, the UC era can now offically start.
I need four more people to help me steal it. bring 15 trucks full of AAA batteries and a flash light. private message me, we'll talk it over before we attack
EPIC! The latest last defence for Japan is ready to kick some nuclear missiles! LOL~
How long until a crazy tourist fights his way to the cockpit and tries to 'claim the new Federation mobile suit in the name of the Principality of Zeon'?
Just fyi, if anyone wants to pay for my airfare, I'll totally fucking do it. No kidding.
SIEG ZEON!
July 11?! But the Fallen will already have taken over by then!
That is frickin awesome!
tooo many decals!
srsly, they whould have halved the number of the decals, its kinda distracting up close
but its awesome..
id kiss the ground under its feet if i ever get to see it in person..
the pose its had has seems like it will have its rifle, needs shield tho
LOL, i can see it now,
after this its the real thing,
then mass production,
then hundreds of orbital drop pod full of gundams falling in the skies of north Korea,
then Gundams invades other countries,
then Japan becomes capital of planet earth,
FIN
I for one welcome our new Mecha Overlords.
i loled xD
I need to pilot that thing and take over space.
Just stick those technologies to the statue and let's see how much action you'll get from an immobile weapon platform..lolz
that so great!!! MAN I JUST NEED AN engineer able to make it work!!
Yeah
now I'm waiting for 1:1 scale Tengen toppa Guren laggan O_0
hell that huge xD
It's more than huge, it's Ass-tronomical, it's 10 million light years in height!
YES!!!!
It's alive! It's alive, it's alive!
IT'S ALIVE!!!!
But who's gonna be the whiny Amuro Ray to fly the thing for real? LOL
Can I put it outside my house? It would make everyone on my block super jealous.
it'll get vandalized, egged, sprayed, pissed by dogs, smashed and cut to pieces. Be sure you order a functioning Gundam with a self-defense operating system and tons of car batteries.
ok gundam prepare to fight N-korea
yeah~ carry their nuke away :D
RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis" XD
Nuke for Nuke!
