実物大ガンダム

According to Kotaku ( http://kotaku.com/5168457/japan-getting-life+sized-standing-gundam ) it will not be built until July.

i don't think they built the cockpit.
i would pay to go up there.

id actually love to make an underground base near my house. then id love to steal that when its done, and do some fixing on that thing so its fully movable. then i cud lik go around in it and other sttuff gundam pilots do lol.

I thought it was already built once... What's the difference with this:

Check Ngee Khiong

Best website. Has more pics and info has the scale plans too

Now, the real question is, can you pilot it?

Finally. Now all we need is a working one. :D

Ohh...!! I can't wait, I wish I had the money to go to Japan and see it with my own eyes once it is built...too bad I can't...which reminds me, I need to brush up on my Japanese

This is working, they say that they are going to tear it down, but in actuality there is a top secret organization that will recruit pilots to use the gundam as an Ultimate weapon. They just say that they are going to tear it down so they won't scare the citizens of Japan.
haha.

Any mech fan would be so drooling over this! its like a dream come true. someone go steal the gundams XD

Aaaaahh I wish i could go... if it weren't for the PG strike and zeta I would have enough funds to go XD

Best news ever. I hope DC goes and takes some photos for us.

Not excited as long as it cannot move like it is, in the anime.

Pure epicness. Oh how I wish I could go see it in person.

Hmm, it kinda reminds me of that proposal on making a real-like, moving Gundam (which costs billions of Dollars, enough to bankrupt the world).

RX-78-2 Gundam is a good choice.

Finally we're still alive to see this epic event~~~~~~

I wonder what special 30th anniversary kits they will release. Maybe a top secret PG Exia? Who knows haha. ^^

a life size rx78... now all it needs is a minovsky reactor

WHY?!?!?!?! What the use of tearing it down. Keep it up for all to see since won't be in Japan for a couple years.

As I said many moons ago, when I explained why I am not much of a Gundam fan anymore (you can blame SEED), this is one thing I would hope to see when I finally visit Japan.

Baw it's only temporary...

yup it just prototype maybe....

just when i'm coming to japan, it's perfect :D

I'm glad it's good ol' RX-78-2.

Awwwh, only two months? I'll never get to see it =(

Still, kind of an otaku's dream, isn't it?

I would love to go see this.

It would be really cool if it was a lighthouse. Or better yet, it could become the Japanese version of the U.S.'s Statue of Liberty.

Oh, I remember reading about this, just can't remember from where. It'd be cool to see at least once, but I won't be there before they take it down.

wow, around the corner?!

can't wait for pics

This is awesome to epic proportions. :D
The idea is a little silly, but worthy for the 30th anniversary!

I swear this is dejavu... I mean, I know I saw it earlier... but just this image.... I feel as though I've seen it before, but can't think for the life of me where...

GODZILA WONT BE HAPPY!

Next up, the 1:1 GFAS-X1 Destroy:p

Am I the only one who thinks, that it won't be very long before Japan starts employing working mechas for military use XD? This is cool either way!

I think maybe there will be people dying to buy this gundam... just imagine, "Hey I got a 1:1 scale gundam in my backyard!" Nice pick up line.

For those who are really interested to go there in between July and September, it will be in Shiokaze Park (潮風公園), Odaiba (お台場), Tokyo.

Man, this is, what, the 3rd news item that has been hijacked from me?

I wonder what they'll do with it once it's taken down. Perhaps sell it for a bunch of money???

That is awesome. I would definitely go see it if I were in Japan at that time. Anyone care to buy me a plane ticket to get there? I'll take pictures for you. :D

too awesome...they need to build a viewing platform high up somewhere for a better view...

"Makes me hope they'll do something like this for Evangelion someday..."

I second that. Maybe we can hope something like this in 2015. ^^

Just the head? Pfft... Come back when it can walk and go 'pew pew pew'!

Launch it out into out space!

I'll be looking forward to the eventual Gundam / Trooper team-up photoshoot!

(Planning to go Japan for my graduation trip...=v=)

I wonder what they'll do with the pieces once it's done.

i want to visit !! i wish they build like EVA models next time, those looks awesome !!!!!!!!

Hopefully Danny goes and makes some good StormTrooper Danny visits the mighty GUNDAM videos for us to see. Also maybe the space visitors will see it, who haven't been 'visible' for the recent past, and it will scare them away! . . . .

Why oh why am i moving away from japan before this happens :(

Now I really have to make it to Japan this year! Must see lifesize Gundam!!

SO awesome. I expect Pictures!
(^ ^)

I'm planning a trip just to go see it. Next time there's anything close to this I might not still be of this world so I don't wanna miss my chance. Nippon banzai!!! Can't wait to go back to Japan! Most honorable place in the world!!

I'd love to go see it but sadly the chances of me actually being able to go to Japan this year are slim to non existent. :(

I read about it on ANN, well done Japan!

is that gundam gonna be the rival of the statue of liberty!? lulz! xP

Daaaamn that's even cooler than the Gundam that's always lying on it's back @ that amusement park ! I'm going to Japan in September I hope they haven't teared it down by then ! Odaiba here i come !

Sniff... Hopefully they display it again because I won't be able to see it...Can't say why...

Cool, only too bad it's only for 2 months: no time to be there yet...

Wow...Lucky the chance is coming just when I'm reaching Japan!!

Out of all the Gundams that were made, they chose to model it after a Rx78???

Scrub that project, replace with a giant Gundam sized Candy Girl - any one with a tight ass and big boobs will do fine. Dark hair too, and oh Brazilian all the way (you know what I mean) thanks.

I cant believe it but I've just booked my holiday to Japan 3 weeks ago! its 2 weeks in August which means I get the chance to see this beast :D cant wait!

Would make an excellent attraction...Or a real life model for future references...

If it true then it will be a great attraction.

EPIC WIN!

Hope is still up in September, would be very cool to see.

next up is a life size tengen toppa gurren lagann

Best idea ever!!!

*sigh* Only if I could afford the plane ticket....

Japan's first step towards world domination o.o

Ok people, now that we've proven that it can stand, let's add the powerplant in. ^_^

japanese once built a walker,yeah a walker like ones in mechwarrior but only stand 2 meter high and only walk without hand,how about perfecting it and add a mechanical hand?maybe it would be like Ripley's in Alien,but yeah we could make it bigger,and using a fuel cell, and yes make a big machine gun too hahahahaha

It would be great if a trip to Japan to see this was the prize for a Giveaway, but that is way to much. Ohh well. Wishful thinking.

lol are we allowed in the cockpit?

Oh wow, but how tall is 59 feet actually? Doesn't sound very tall o_O

Oh My Odin, thats amazing, I would like to see it, it`s great, being there looking that huge Gundam would be incredible.

Its so cool! I'm going to Japan this summer, so I will see this godly creation!

Is that for real? The Japanese must love their robotoys more than I had thought.

Only in Japan would they build a Gundam monument. Love Gundams and will always like them.
