The beloved life-sized RX-78-2 Gundam statue in Odaiba has unfortunately been taken down, a time lapse video of its last few days has been released online as a final farewell to the astounding work of art – though fans need not be sad for long as a life-sized Unicorn Gundam has been slated to be built in its place.
A time lapse of the mecha’s final few days:
The new Unicorn Gundam will be constructed in the fall, its erection is part of the “Tokyo Gundam Project 2017“.
Kinda sucks that they took it down, but at least another one will be taking it’s place.
Disney or Universal should open discussion with Bandai, try acquiring it for one of their theme parks. Hell, it’d even make a great addition to the National Air and Space Museum.
Statue, statue… where is the kickstarter for a real one.
An end of an era. Giant robots aren’t that great anymore..
it’s going to be replaced with 1:1 gundam unicorn FYI. now go suck your own dick.
Something doesn’t last long good.
An example is most people here gets bored or being haters of something that is overrated for long time of period.
Had to take it down before it becomes bad.
I’ve never noticed it turns the head…
