Not to be outdone by other giant robot franchises with their own giant robot statues, Neon Genesis Evangelion is set to receive a full size Evangelion statue.
The unit will apparently be in a “caged” state with most of the body hidden from view (that is to say, it is a giant bust), conveniently freeing the organisers from the burden of constructing a 80m high mech.
A full size cockpit is also said to be included in construction (admission extra).
The unit is due to be unveiled in Yamanashi prefecture in late July.
Considering the great success of the giant Gundam, organisers have obviously cottoned on to the tourism potential of such statues – might a Knightmare Frame be next?

I'd like to be immersed in a pot full of Rei Ayanami's armpit sweat...
*massive nosebleed*
Wiki's info is likely from the SRW games.
Gainax re-designed the Rebuild movies to fit the new 80m Eva. Many of the sets had to be enlarged.
Jesus Mother of Christ!
Awesome.
*Sigh* The JSDF are getting too powerful.
They know something and aren't telling us!
...Like an alien invasion/some fready-deaky tentacle shit.
Or an invasion of alien loli catgirls. I surrender! ^_^
Enough of the statues! We need REAL, WORKING GIANT ROBITZ. Get to it, Japan! We all know you can do it!
Who's voting TTGL comments down? It's the only acceptable response!!
But still, they'd both get their arses kicked by Escaflowne.
Unless they 'accidentally' step on it.
Escaflowne's two-handed sword should be around the size of the EVA's' prog knives.
VF-1 Valkyrie please!!!
Only a statue?
The Japanese Ministry of Defence needs to invest billions for the development of the real deal!
This and Gundam are prototype in disguise. They are build the real deal as we speak.
jehuty will pawn this thing
+1
jehuty + vector cannon > the competition
So what about Nirvash if anyone even cares about Eureka... though it has the same problem as the Knightmare in it being rather small. Or Big O...
I personally think that it is a possibility that Japan would create Mechs. Considering Japan is unable to sustain a military, building a small force of Mechs that could overwhelm thousands of people seems like a suitable plan. Bastards..
Don't you mean gurren lagann
The Japanese are so full of win! I worship them. It would be cool if they included the plug cockpit and people could go in.
Someone needs to build a life-size Vertical Tank, as a tribute to Junji Ohkubo's fantastic mechanical designs, and a monument to one of the most ambitious console games in the history of man.
A knightmare frame, while cool, would not be all that impressive, because they're fairly modest size, especially compared to other mecha. What are they, like 5m tall? They're about as small as possible while still being considered a piloted robot rather than just a suit.
Everyone knows EVA can wildly change it's scale from anywhere between 20~m to like 200m.
Gundam? Evangelion? Pfft. When they build a full-sized TTGL, *then* I'll be impressed.
On one hand the Japanese despise anime fans, on the other Japan builds stuff like that.
I don't get it!
:o rei in LCL action.... 0¬0
Forget the Eva mechs, I want a 1/1 scale of Rei in my room.
How about a life-size ARX-7 Arbolest or perhaps a Dix-Neuf?
I think ARX-7 is too obscure; don't get me wrong I like FMP.
Why build Dix-Neuf(and not Gunbuster instead) when the one it pays homage to, EVA-01, is far more iconic?
Gojira VS EVA-01
Make it happen japan!!
So how big would it be? They EVA's can be as a big 200m, "depending on camera angle".
XD
NCC-1701, please =D
Apparently someone who's butthurt about TTGL. They should stop down-voting and instead worry about the drill up their ass.
Shortly before this gets revealed, there's going to be a freak accident at the site and one of the female workers will go missing and be considered dead. But we'll all know what really happened. Authentic replica is authentic.
...that's my hope, at least.
U.S. should build a full size Super Star Destroyer.
Ok, this is made of win and all but how can one build a full sized EVA? I mean the size of these things changed with every episode.
Cpt. Nit-picker away!
Soak it in water.
01s head is in the open. The body is in the box (if the even bother making the whole body) hidden from view.
You beat me to that comment.
I don't think so.
I am wondering how they will make all those "biotic parts". I mean since technically unit 001 is a "guy"(if my memory serves me right) do they have to make a giant penis under that armor? Just wondering...
The Evas are asexual, they don't have genitals.
And will it move the head, with the jaw open?
I think so, the Evas are like Angels and they are asexual, or in case of Kaworu bisexual :)
And the gigantic baseball bat. It would be awesome.
i'll rather go for 1/1 super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
There's actually a small gundam statue near where I live. I wish we had actual cool, life-sized ones though.
lol! wat the rest of the world doesnt know and wat japan is keeping a secret is the gundam and eva are and will b functionally active they're planning to take over the world! otaku style~
stop fooling around with all of these robots, just make a gurren lagann, quickly
NOW this is trully MADNESS !
will it go berserk? if so, that'll be one pissed of giant motherfucker...
one pissed off mother at least
TTGL IS LAME AND OVERHYPED PIECE OF SHOUNEN BS
Hashin!!!!
