The 1:1 monster RX-78-2 Gundam formerly menacing Tokyo has been re-erected in Shizuoka with upgraded armament. Below the animatronic statue can be seen in detail, as ever striking a particularly impressive figure against the night sky.
Its move to Shizuoka sees it occupy a central spot just to the north of Shizuoka Station, with the installation set to last from now until the conclusion of the Shizuoka Hobby Fair at the end of March, 2011, leaving plenty of time for pilgrimages.
The upgraded beam sabre glows at night and shimmers in the sun during the day, making for an impressive sight – otherwise the display is substantially the same.

Impressive really..
It's beautiful at night
i encourage the world to instead of building weapons of mass destruction
build gundams, and beat the crap of each other. it would be so cool, and the could even sell tickets to the vent!!!!!
As in... The Gundam Fight? :p GUNDAM FIGHT, REAAAAAAAAAAAAADY, GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! XD
does it move?
ha! if it does... the world leaders would probably shat their pantz and the UN would start going "garble, garble, garble, blah, blah, blah" against it... and USA would be like "if we nuke japs before, we can do it again."
Imagine japan, build a army of gundams and attach speakers to play the theme song while there taking over the world. TRUE EPICNESS!!
this is the reason japan will conquer the world. imagine if the US tries to fuck the japan they'll be making nukes while japan destroys them with their gundams it's over.
Why don't those dam japanese make a gundam they can pilot and taker over the world already o.o
xD
CooL
Wasn't there some talk that they're planning on building a 1:1 scale bust of EVA01 somewhere in japan? That it would be like you're standing on the bridge going across its chest while it's in the hangar.
Last one.. megalol
They say a picture's worth a thousand words. I think this it only worth 5.
Gundam
Will
Fuck
You
Up
Can't wait for the real thing....
THAT IS THE REAL THING!!!!!!!
It just won't exist ever. A Human shaped weapon makes no sense : it makes a HUUUUGER target than a tank, can't be as armored as a tank, have too many structural weaks points (i.e. : joints), don't have the mobility of an airplane, etc etc.
But it is scary as shit.
I thought the robot at the Ghibli museum was menacing but this just takes the biscuit.
My fave pic is #11 because at first I thought he was pulling a toothy grin :)
Ten English pounds says that thing's battle ready.
I'd be smiling toothily if I had a sword the length of a small bus.
hahaha.. You all Watch Too much Mech Anime..
that technology wont be available even in 2300
Your great great grandson will maybe!!?
5-10 year beam saber lol..
Like I said before, I can't wait till I win my Canadian lottery, I'm gonna move to Japan and construct a 1:1 EVA Unit right beside this weakass midget mecha.
I ask for a Zaku!
C'mon Japan, don't disappoint me, when will you build the 1:1 SDF-1 Macross. Possibly the post refit after Quamzin's suicide attack. The version with the ARMD Carriers.
Great way to ruin a quiet town. Fucking nerds.
Now we wait for an evil villain to attempt to take control over the gundam and make it his tool for destruction.
Gay
you are, my young padavan.
USA probably started mass producing ZAKUs before this gundam starts moving... and history will repeat itself
Hah USA funding on Zakus huh... USA will be making large bipedal tanks (Metal Gear)!
hmm...if a real life gundam is that big...i wonder how their real life Psycho Gundam ("IF" they're crazy enough to make one) would look like...
Because it has to be said:
GUNDAMMMUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
They should have steam venting from the chest vents from time to time.
Hehe, imagine the surprise of some ignorant sight-seer in Japan as he stumbles upon this Gundam.
The only thing from anime that will look awesome in real life is giant robot.
Let's test the reaction time of this brand new mobile suit...
I want to know the reaction of the the GUNDAM designer for the anime.
have they interviewed him yet? (if he is still around)
Um, the creator is happy with this, he was around for a wedding held at the original statue last summer where he gave the couple an autographed framed drawing of RX-78-2.
No phallic title reference?
what is gundam?
A miserable little pile of awesome. But enough talk, LETS GO TO SHIZUOKA!
A gun dropped in a dam.
What else?
u are both just plain retards XD
gundam is gay
You must be a crow.
Fuck you
gaydam?
while the public goes awe each part is being really being develop somewhere in japan and being put inside the gundam
It's a Conspiracy man...
They're not just for display...
It's Japanese's new WMD! (Weapon of Mass Destruction)
俺はガンダム！
That first pic is what nightmare-fuel is made of.
I knew it.
They'll add things little by little until they get to the point of adding mobility to the damn thing.
Then, they'll mass-produce it and make a university for teaching how to pilot a mobile suit.
Ecole du Ciel with delicious girl cadets???
