The full size Gundam currently ensconced at Odaiba in Tokyo has just opened to the public, and as a result a flood of additional photographs and videos has appeared, with a variety of interesting closeups and low-angle shots adding to the wealth of imagery already available.
Gundam maintenance technicians are apparently very forgetful.
More night shots are visible in the previous gallery.
And a video showing off its moving parts:

DAmmit!!! Where can I order one these life size ones?! It'd be so sweet to have it on my new back yard!!!
This is much better than Devestator in TFM2. The crotch doesn't have wrecking balls as "BALLS".
so beautiful~ *manly tears*
Oh wow.
Now then, sponsors for a Lancelot-1:1-replica-project must be scouted for, then I would truly be awed then.
On a second note, it's a little silly in their part for having forgotten about the caution signs.
Still, they can't expect the average japanese child to give any notice huh?
KMF sized mechs are so much more viable versus some 18m giant XD. Why not make a REAL lancelot instead of a model? Its not that big and i reckon landspinners would work.
Not hard to imagine sutherlands rushing over a desert landscape and taking out tanks.
But an 18m robot... thats a different story. I think they made them 18m long only because fighter jets were also 18m long, and the mobile suit wasn't supposed to be used on earth initially anyway.
who knows... it could be japan's secret military project to station "statues" which are really gundam tech level mobile suit in case of national threat/emergency.
Unlikely, but an awesome thought.
ZOMG! Gundam upskirt!!!
Super Robot Taisen?
wow the close ups are amazing, those details
Transformers are WAY more cooler than gundam.
Blasphemy!
come on a truck from another planet that can transform into a walking robot that can combine with other robots increasing its speed and power and allowing it to fly for long periods of time while being powered by energon which is made by the sun the most powerful energy source known to man can be beat by a simple mech made on earth i laugh at you
However you can't REALLY control what a Transformer is gonna do.
Mechs you can pilot!
i have to agree to that, sir.
buy a heli for picture taking!!
this gundam can’t fly? :D
Man this is epic
Pointless, but epic nonetheless
I lol'd at how people just went "WOOOOOAHH" when it just moved its head... was expecting more though
God damn... its too awesome to be real.
This japanese have done it again.
where's Gurren Lagann???

small pic is small . . .
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, I am in love
fapfapfap
Me wants to go see that up close too. If only money didn't exist and the world was free. :)
What a shame it's not posed in some badass position :(
The future is nao.
....Where's its shield and beam laser? In the underground MS factory? >.>
We must all pilgrimage to it!
Only in Japan.
It's probably functional and the Japanese government plan to conquer the world with it in the future.
Now it needs to start walking. The crowds where ohing and ahhing when the flipping head moved, so I expect rampaging and running when that sucker actually starts walking and flattening everybody too damn stupid to get away in time.
To add to the fun, it should get its hands on a beam rifle and begin vaporizing the fleeing masses!
Full-scale Gundam upskirts... I came.
NANTO YU PURESSHA
Dat booster.
To be perfectly honest, I was expecting it to lift up a leg and start walking.
To be perfectly honest, I was expecting it to lift up a leg and step on some puny humans.
Read the comment for keiichi , i think that goes the same thing for you.
8th wonder of the world!!!
North Korea's nuclear missiles can't do shit to Japan now.
i second this
and if the gundam fails, the strike witches cosplayers wont :O
Next? Giant robot wars. Yep.
What? no Gundam panty shot?
And one day, it will move more than just its head. That will be the day Japan regains its honor and shows the world that it hasn't just been sitting there daydreaming about giant robots.

lol~ there's an RX and a Zaku at the bottom left of the picture. :D
I'm no Gundam fan.
But damn if that's a fine Gundam.
Even if it's soon to be covered in bird poop.

If the head moves I don't see why they can't make Gundam highly mobile and make it able to operate in space.
Hopefully it isn't flammable
bird craps ._.
Actually, that was my sperm...
... I came 'cuz ov gariness, ya know... :3
you must have a powerful one to shoot that high XD
