i just receive my friend picture..
and it's already complete..
i thought he just joking..
but seeing this..
it sure do complete..
thanks for sharing..
i hope you have a good they there before you leave..
when u will come back to Japan

Finally!! The day has come!!

Totally awesome! :D

FINALLY
GUNDAM HAS COME BACK TO JAPAN

HOLY CRAP they're freaking done pretty much. I thought it would take at least another few eeks just to get the torso and arms up!

This is so awesome, much much better than what I was expecting.. :D

OH MY GOD! It's finally complete! Dang, wish I were in Japan right now because I would totally go see it and take tons of pictures. After seeing that the legs took about a month or so to put up, I had a feeling the rest of the Gundam would take FOREVER, but apparently it did not. :]

NO beam rifle and shield attach ??

Let's hijack it and ride it out into the universe~!
Ah, this is really awesome...... Would be nice if the eyes and parts of its body light up during the night!

ITS AS AWESOME AS I HAD IMAGINED
Too bad for the bad weather though - Would've looked awesome with a sunset behind it, glare effects, etcetc

$10 says this gets hijacked when Danny gets back from dinner

Gundam Daichi ni Tatsu!!

this is amazing!

I can't believe it's finished so soon. The previous pictures looked as if there was weeks to go.

waaaw... totally awesome.

whoahhh... i thought they'd only finish near july...
most likely won't be able to go there until end of august... =(

Wow that is awesome. Can't wait to visit there.

Kiitta!!! its almost done!!!COOL!

Damn thats cool!

Wasn't it only half built a few days ago?

THAT..THAT is GOD!

no words to describe it OoO

I want to ride it!!~XD

soon RX-78-2 will protect Japan from any threat XD

If the US have the Statue of Liberty. Japan has Amuro Ray's Gundam RX-78 as it's counter part.

I think it was completed quickly to protect against North Korea's threats.

Need to get a plane ticket now!

That's sweet! I wish I'd be there to see it with my own eyes.
I like especially those rocketengines, they look awsome!

Already complete? Cool! And looks so awesome! They should leave it up indefinitely.

awesome....................

now my dream of seeing a life sized gundam is halfway fulfilled (because it's only in pictures)

kitaaaaaa! i think is time to go to japan ^-^

I feel like crying just by looking at it~ look at the details!!! and decals!!!

I hope it's gonna be there for a VERY LONG TIME.....

WOOT!!! Finally!! Man this is awesome and wish i was there talking photo with it.

Oh my god, that's so full of win... So much win is in that gundam :O

Awesome!!!! gotta see it at natsuyasumi. will be going to tokyo at the next summer vacation.

Now, where can I pre-order one of these?

w00t! Gundam 1:1 at long last!

It's so gosh darn beautiful.. *insert starry eyed look*

wow...don't you wish you can just get it and actually control it

Awesome!! I hope it isn't being dismantled in August - I move to Japan in October and I HAVE to see this in person!

SUUUUUGGGGOOOOIIIII!!!!!!

Just got my very first gundam from my lil bro as my present . Now I know , why people are obsessed with Gunplas .

beautiful and impressive. wish they make a 1/1 char zaku !!

S-SO BEAUTIFUL ;v;!

...Now all we need are some other mecha to battle with it? :"D

That looks SO amazing. I hope they leave it up longer!

Looks like something out of a Doreamon manga. Only in Japan?

holy shiat, awesome. please don't dismantle it !

Where's the door to the cockpit?! I want to ride it >:D

Alright! Gundam Fight!

This is the new technology for the army XD

That is simply awesome! Makes me want to go there.

great, can't wait to see it this august :D

AWESOME !
I will go to take a look at it tomorrow. ^^

Wow! they got up so much in such a short time... I thought it would take a lot longer, as they took so long to get the foundations up and the arms on.

Awesome!!! O.O

Now all we need is for bandai to erect a Red Zaku then we're all set..

hot damn!

What? No Shield and gun?

now if only I was there to see it come to "life"

Damn that's awesome.

That's fast. Remember reading the news with photos of the legs only last week. Hope I can be there during August.

its not 100% done yet
remember the beam rifle & shield

or there's no such thing in the plan?

i'm quite there is, because if they wouldn't make it, why bother to have:
right hand are opened, and seem going to hold something
left hand are clenched, similar to most shield equipped gundam

to me, this is the most beautiful statue on earth

It's any gundam fanboy wish to see a lifesize gundam!!!
WAIT FOR ME JAPAN!!!

Wow. Nicely done! In just 2 days that's really some impressive progress.

OMG that looks AMAZING!!!

:D

Looks like Japan has another attraction spot ^.^ . It would be really cool if they let ppl sit in the cockpit ^.^

SICK!! It`s..Awesome! Totally AWESOME!!!!

Yes, its completed. ^_^

Dear Fairy God Mother, please make it move.

that's incredible, all the parts look really well done. I know this is about as close as i'll see this thing...love the photo looking from the station on the guy's blog, it's the kinda shot that people would photoshop together but this time it is actually real!

anyone know what its made of?

so huge :D

how i wish to be in japan :(

oh my gawd epic awesomeness hubsband will probably want to see it!

can't wait to see it with my bare eyes on july :D

As a mecha fan after seeing the pictures...I came. >_<

God I hope they don't tear it down before I can see it in person...

it's ALIVE!!!!
and
it's AWESOME!!!

i hope it stays there forever~

Now we need the Guncannon & Guntank to complete the V Project.

as mentioned on his blog, pity i wont be able to see it with my own eyes. life size gundam in real life... first step has been taken...

you know whats the bad part? gundams are basically, "machines of war"

WW3 WITH GUNDAMS ZOMG?!

GJ! www

wow those workers finished it pretty quickly, i still remember only the legs being there a few days ago.

I can imagine it crawling around at night, causing trouble

OMG~ That's so beautiful~ <3

*shed manly tears*

<3 <3 <3

I just wish I could be in Japan and see it with my own eyes. Does anyone know till when Gundam will be standing there?

i want to pilot it! those thrusters on the backpack look so real, like they'll start any moment now!

last pic - those buildings in the background look so puny. lol.

All that's left for it is probably the tweaking of the lights and the steam vents. Then will it be ready in all it's glory. What I want to know is if they really will take it down. I'd like it to be left erect until real gundam technology is able to take the shell and give it life!

Gonna go there and see it with my OWN EYES!

Wow.. That was fast. Haha.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!11 IT'S ALIVE!!!11

I wonder how it will fair during typhoons? O_o

WICKED!~~ O.O

Wow, this was completed faster than I expected. I wonder how it's going to look with the smoke and lights.

...and Lift Off!!

wow. a few days ago there's only the lower part of the body, and now it's completed.
it's really fast!

Amazing.

i am an industrial designer and building this would be like a dream job form me

wow, hope my wife would be able to get her visa before they take the gundam down. ^^

m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m m(_ _)m

RX-78 is finally ALIVE!!!

I how they can display the cockpick ^_^

Thanks for the coverage~~~

Wow, its like, completed!
Looks good, I wanna see the lights and steam :D

Thanks for the photos! you're so lucky to see it in person ^^

Gundam w..w !!!
i want see ... snif snif separaty for one large ocean !!!

imagine attacking Tokyo and seeing 500 of these guys standing on the shore line.

Waaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!, I wish i could ride it.... Hey maybe when japan is in trouble it comes to life on its own and saves the day ^_^

Now I'm just waiting for the ceremony to start and then be crashed by a Char Custom Zaku.

There's no words to describe the awesome..

That looks... truly amazing. I'd love to get over and see that but I don't think I'd be able too.
Still, at least I've got photos to look at of it.

The progress in 2 days is unreal. Didn't think it would be done that quickly!

IT'S A GUNDAM!!!!!!!!!

I love it! Is this a permanent structure? I do hope so! I'm off to Japan again this January, I would love to see it!

oh yeah! finally it is complete.... *_* so happy

That is too awesome, can't believe it is done already!!

the 1st thing which came to me mind was whether the eyes will light up
nevertheless it looks magnificent
got yourself the 1st mecha of mass destruction

<3 That is beautiful. I cant wait to see it in person!

Wow I did not expect this to finish so soon. Thought I had suffered a time lapse because 2 days ago only the lower body was completed. Progress sure is fast. ^^,

It looks amazing from pictures and I bet it looked even better in real. Arghhh how I wish its right in front of me right now. Pure awesomeness!

*Imagine piloting one* @.@

woah! i want to pilot it! incredible.

now north korea will think it twice to threaten japan xD

moeagare gandamu!!!

KITAAA!!!!
it's finaly here!
where's the manual?
Ramen Rider, ikimasu!!

That. Is. Awesome. @.@ Next step; working Gundams!

What would be awesome is if they forgot to mention that is was a working Gundam. lol

Its just awesome, i wish i would go and see it during summer holiday.

That was quick. I wish I could the whole thing with my own eyes all lit up

holy cow, it looks so real!! Man I wish they leave it there until the end of the year.

Impressive and so real!!

The first gundam that started it all
the first gundam to start it again

i wonder how many headlines it will hit.. and i gotta say it loud.. OMG!!! this is unbelievable.. awesome.. truly rock the world.. I LOVE GUNDAM!!!!!

OMG. I wanna go see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

Either way, thank you very much for covering the construction progress of this. These pictures are the closest I could get to seeing this massive work of art :(

T^T/ One giant step closer to a Gundam army.

It is indeed a momentous occasion for all of the world; the first Gundam has been constructed. Now we are free to proceed to evolving into Newtypes XD

Wow that was fast... two days ago they had the legs and now they're basically done? o_o Didn't it take them a lot longer to get even just the legs up lol

Wow. Not going to buy any 1/1 mechas for the moment but ... wow!

Orewa Gundam!

Why ain't this on no cover of TIME?! Stupid iPhone. ; )

Amazing. Looks far more real than what I expected. As a Gundam fan, I'm impressed.

The face is a little odd, no?

Still, this is my ideal house.

Must find way to go to Japan!

Wow, this looks incredible. I would love to be standing next to it.

Gandamu !!!!!

I just don't know what to say *in tears (not really)*

Anyone feel the head, seems a little off on the color ?

Wow... this was completed sooner than I thought and I actually think it looks good! I had doubts before... but not anymore!

COOL!

EPIC WIN

Danny!!! PLEASE FIND A WAY TO MAKE THEM LEAVE IT THAT WAY!!! I'LL SIGN ANYTHING!!!! T_T...I can't go to Japan right now!...but I don't want to miss this moment in history!!!!!!!

Where can I apply for the job as its pilot? ^^
It's awesome, 1/1 Gundam. In a few years, they will have added some real weapons and use it for combat XD Yes, I can see. N.Korea: "We have nukes." Japan: "We have a Gundam."

That was fast, i rem. seeing a post regarding the Odaiba Gundam not long ago here

It looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Want to go to Japan to see the real thing!!!!
How long will the Gundam be there?

Aw. I'll never see that in person. Oh well.

I dun think i ever make it there to see it with my own eyes!!

now all it needs is a beam rifle and a shield ^^
man kudos to japan this beats the merlion by a mile.

Looks great. One more tourist attraction for Japan =P

Now all we need is a Newtype kid to fall into the cockpit.

Wow, the economy here is in the toilet but Japan's building a Gundam.

Wow, the statue is complete and it's beautiful too!
Now everyone is happy with the results. (including Mr. Tomino himself)

OMG that is awesome O.o

looks great just needs a pilot Xd (´･ω･｀)

Love the detailing on rx-78!!! wish i was there ~~ T_T

YAY!!!!!!
Finally!!!!!!!
When I head to Japan!!!! I get to see the completed version!!!!!
Looks so amazing as it is!!!!!!

EPIC.....just.....epic.......

Now that is seriously impressive! ^^
Amazing, love it! Wish I could go see it in real life. Why won't they keep it up as a permanent display anyway?

Now if safety of the Japan is ever threatened, this Gundam will rise up to protect Japan!? But it sure does look good, maybe one day, we will really have mobile suits to fly around ^^;

Now this is GARR......nuff said

Thanks for the update on the status ! Finally the entire body is up ! Now to choose a date to visit it. :]

OMG awesome!!! So much awesomeness!! Seriously awesome!!!! Now I wanna visit Odaiba even more... before I just knew it from SuperGals!... but now... oh the awesomeness...

O_O
This...
is the most amazing thing that I have ever seen...
I must see it in person! *runs to Odaiba*
On an added note, I never really thought that the original RX-78 would be so intimidating in real life... boy was I wrong.
I SOOOOOO want one! ^^

I'm going to hijack this baby. :D

Awesome, but I'm afraid I'll arrive in Tokyo 1 month too late.

This will be day long remembered

pure awesomeness

damn... it's time to plan another trip to Japan!

Land of the rising Gundam!

Wow...its finally done...and looking great indeed!...wonder who is next?...

Awesome and congrats to all Gundam fans including me ^^
Hope they change their mind and decide not to take it down.
I do wonder what would happen if the lightning strikes it :D

It's a thing of beauty!

i like one in my house

That was really fast!

On swiss standards, they would still be on the legs, and it wouldn't finish until next year. They work exactly 9-5 with lunch at 12 sharp and coffee at 3 and several other "smoking breaks between....

I dunno what to say. Wow.

It seems 'anything goes!' in japan :-)

Just out of curiosity: point of cost?

2....2 days?! If Japan can do that in 2 days they can solve global warming and world hunger in a month or too. I SWEAR!

Awesome! Hope to get some nice pics myself.

That's incredible! I hope I'll get to see it in person someday. I grew up with Gundam Wing though. It'd be awesome to see a life-sized version of one of the Gundams from that series eventually. =^_^=

that's pretty awesome, wonder how long it will stay up

yet another 'must visit' location to add to my list.

wholy hot damn that is beautiful!!!

It's so beautiful.. -sheds tear-

The day giant robots walk the Earth has truly come.
I really wish I could see it in person.

best gundam ever ^^ now let's wait for a dendrobium xD

Officially the best day ever! I really hope they keep it there forever, would be such a tourist attraction!

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

CONGRATS!! I want a pic with it :)

Now time to give it some weapon and this Gundam will crush north korea if they ever try anything weird xD

Now there is something you don't see everyday.. Quite cool and slick sayeth I..

Now then, since we saw the concrete.. we really can't say its a real gundam.. but, either way very cool..

Can't say it wouldn't be cooler if it was a real gundam.. cause that would be way more neat ^_^

Awesome, I really want to see it in person!

Boy, they sure finished it quickly! Thanks for the links and pics- I am really impressed with how nice it looks. Too bad I won't get a chance to see it in person.

awesome i waanna have that in my backyard!! xD

Now, they need to build God Gundam and have a tournament to determine who's country is the best!

omg... i really want to go to japan JSUt because of this... and they even finished early!!! =_=!!!

Would be awesome if it has working weapons as well or if it was the real deal! Japan will then commence Operation World Domination! Would join their side in a matter of 0.0000000001 seconds so I could pilot one too!

I need to go to Japan right away! Flippin AWESOME!

huge!! I wonder if one day it'll become movable.

My first commente yea :D

FROM MEXICO

I'm gonna be in Japan while it's still up, but I don't know if I'll get to see it or not. I really hope I get to!

This is definitely a day that will be long remembered. ^_^

This is just EPIC. I'm wordless.

Just amazing!

omg!!! awesome !!! extremely awesome !!! ^^ love mechas ^^ gundams are awesome ^^ i been a fan sense 3ed grade lol i graduated 12th grade and its been 1 year sense then ^^ so 10 years i been fan ^^ seeing this is awesome wish i could go there but i missed it T_T i wonder how long it will be b4 they start making some that move ^^ if they can make this they sure can make one that moves !! ^^

All we need now are the wires, AI programming, motherboards and a pilot ^_^

So now North Korea will say "They have a Gundam, let's build a Nuclear Gundam too"?
Jokes a part, OMG, THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!! Want one inside my house!!! Ops, maybe, over my house....

Woah that's crazy fast looks awesome!

brb, FedEx~ing self to Japan to hijack this

This needs to have tours, like "visit Statue of Liberty's crown" or "are you emo enuff to pilot this???"

Woww awesome! It didn't take long to assemble, either. ^^

I gotta get my friend in Tokyo to go take some pics of this for me. As a 30+ year fan of anime, this is definitely one of the coolest things to ever exist in my lifetime.

Coolsome beyond words. I hope DC goes to cover this on opening day!!

sugoi....!Q!F

Who needs an army when you have an odaiba gundam to protect the lands! I'm moving to Japan.

O_O bow down to god!!! orz orz
now i have to make my trip to japan and start mission "steal gundam" @_@ jk jk

Display on the 11th? Lucky~ I'm gonna be there July 10-21

Darn I wish I could see that in person.

Awsome!!!

no chance to visit japan for now, please make a petition and set that as tourist spot. >.<

oh ... my ... GOD ... T_T
for such a excellent work of beauty ...

WHY do they only display that until August 31st???
WHY don't they make it permanent?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?

T_T

EPIC WIN!!!

omg its done. that was fast, maybe they should work on a working model. it'll just take them about a year then. lol =P

I can't believe they got that much finished in just a few days since the last update. I am at a loss for words at the sheer epicness of that thing. Who would have thought we would finally have a 1/1 scale Gundam lol. ...now...if only it worked. >.<

nothing but 'warning' and 'caution' on the torso.

That is the coolest thing ever created. Now I can't wait for a working prototype that can actually be piloted, I would sign up as a test pilot or join the military if I was assigned to one of these bad boys, now all they need to make is a Zaku II and we will be set for a war...not that we need one

RX-78 lives! Just look at the attention to detail on the thruster units.

Too awesome...they should just keep it up since so much work and effort went into it...

would love to go see it myself but that probably wouldn't be happening anytime soon

seems like yesterday that it was announced that they would be building it..

Wow, didn't think they'd assemble the rest of it so fast! That is one awesome gundam, hopefully it'll be there for a long time and I may even see it in person some day (assuming I take a trip to Japan).

AWESOME! That's just the coolest thing ever.

Greatest use of Money ever!
Greatest Thing Ever!!!
Man I wish I could be there to see it! :X

Thats amazing~! Now to make it fully Operational ^_~!

Looking at this Gundam, I felt overwhelming joy . . . and fear . . .

YES!!!!!!!!

I would love to go there. Wonder how long that thing can last in such a position...

A big step is taken for humanity! Now for someone to make it completely functional...

they must still be working on the software to make this thing operational and fly. Age of the gundams is here! LOL.

This is totally awesome. Let's see bandai mass produce this one ^^

∑(O_O；)WOW, That is amazing! It's only been two days since you posted the pics where only the legs and arms had been finished. How stable is it? Does it do anything or is it just a statue (it's awesome even if it doesn't do anything, but it'd be cooler if it did)?

So awesome.....

Lets start a betting pool to see how long it takes before someone tries to pilot it.

Oh no way!!!
Alright men, we have the modle, we need the electronics to get this thing up and running.
Nothing is imposible!!

I so want to see this in person >< Theres just no words for this...

AAAAaaaahhh! That has got to be one of the koolest things I have ever seen. I want to go see it in person - it seems like it would be worth it to travel to Japan just for that. I want to go!!

Holy crap, that's awesome. It's a shame they'll be disassembling it at the end of summer (August 31st according to the link). They should put it in a museum or something. Building something that epic and then taking it down seems like a massive waste of resources to me.

Anyhoo, time to pester my friend to take some pics. He's went to Japan for the summer (mainly for business reasons, but I'm sure he's been sightseeing too) and he'll be there until August, and this looks like one of those once-in-a-lifetime things I think he should go see in person. XD

No other words other than awesome come to mind. I just wish I could have this outside in my yard.

woah cool wish i could go see it.

that is what you will expect from the japanese, what can't they not do ^^

jesus christ, i wish i could see this in person... (T A T);;

Don't you just wish it could be piloted? This is the epitome of Gundam fandom! I think the previous Gundam statue was a smaller bronze one at Shinjuku.

Too bad this one won't be a permanent fixture or it would be the mecca for all Gundam fans.

Now to attach the joints and that newly developed super lazer, and we have a complete Gundam^^

I've been staring at these photos for about 30 mins. It is still bad @$$! Tobe Gundam!!

Already finished ?! it was fast, but it looks awesome . i wish i could be there to see it with my own eyes Snif >_<

1:1 Perfect Grade?

OMG wonder that we can enter the cockpit or not!

Hah thats awesome

OMGoosssh!! I want to see it fly! XD

Amazing indeed. Dam when are the Japanese going to remake it but mobile version? :O

I really want to see it moving >.<

Gundam does nothing for me as an anime, but even I can't help but be awestruck at seeing this completed, it's incredible.

Rad!
I'd love to see this in person one day, but I got a feeling it'll be long gone before I ever make it out there.
Now all they need to do is build Char's Zaku on the other side of the park. ^_^

Hmm Now I think they need a Zaku. (^^)

awesome.... just AWESOME 0____0 ~ =D

GG (God Grade?? xD) Scale Model RX-78!

now japan has a protector to n korea's missiles

I wonder what its made up of? metal? plastic? can we actually go inside and 'feel' the gundam?

it be metal for most of it

A shining metal god!!!

Awesome is the word that can be used for that monster.

This Defines EPIC! THIS IS BEYOND COOL! ISN"T THERE ANYTHIGN NIPON CAN'T DO!? This is JUST PLAINE AWESOME. This IS THE GUNDAM. Without this GUNDAM, There would be NO GUNDAM. NICE and COOL.

They need to put something next to it to show off it's scale to real world things.

WOAH O_O SO ENVIOUS I WANT TO GO AND SEE IT T_T

Wow, nice! I didn't expect it to be done this soon, either. I really hope I'll get a chance to see it this fall.

now only if it could move >.<

As a lover of all things awesome, i now need to plan a trip to Japan. DANNY PLEASE HELP, where can i go for the best deals?!

damn that thing is huge but still a great wonder to behold

Wa......if they arrange TOru furuya as opening ceremony [VIP], it will be better!!!XD

mUST PLAN A TRIP To the plACE....

Amazing! I wonder when they will take it down though?

He's a US NAVY sailor!!! WOW

*faints*

It would have been cooler to see a Freedom Gundam, not that old Rx-78 2 .-.

That's so cool! I'd love to see it in person but Odaiba is far away from Aichi, once again: so close yet so far ='(

oh god, i just want to climb up it and crawl inside its torso, and become gundam

WOW imagine if Japan can get it moving like in the anime XD
And the pilots can get into SEED mode
It will be like saying "Fear Me" to the rest of the world
Hahas ^.^

Awesome!!

uwaahh... wanna go see! wanna go see!
