鉄人２８号の巨大モニュメント

I wish they would make an eva(T.T)

frigging awesome... keep doing 1/1 mechas please!

The best toys are indeed over there!

How much you wanna bet some country with crappy spies is going to think Japan actually has an army of giant robots.

nice, can't wait for the 1-1 scale Mazinger Z. ^^

That's awesome! In Brisbane, all we got was a ferris wheel to copy London. Because Brisbane looks so much like London -_-'

Wooow!!! Tetsujin will be completed on my birthday ... Great!!!

Lol, battle of the bots!

o.o Wonder what's next pretty soon all major cities in Japan will have a giant robot.

=O
Awesome !

*Waits for Getter*

LOL. Just uploaded this in the members news a while ago. Its amazing Japan always has the best stuff. Whats next? A Mazinger? Its so awsome wished I lived in Japan

I would like to think that there is actually an underground base with real mechas in there XD. These monuments are just decoys hahaha

Super cool!!!!!!!

hell yeah!! / if they made an eva i would start working day and night without rest as soon as they announce it so i can go there and see it with my own two eyes o.o XD / yea... probably those mechas'll be used when the supposed world end comes in 2012 they'll save the world or take a lil bunch of ppl to mars or the moon lol / mechas have become an important part of japan's culture i think the whole mangAnime thing has made japan famous even among children i mean the first ``cartoons`` i watched were dragonball pokemon digimon and some gundam i write ``cartoons`` because at that time in my life i thought those were cartoons and didn't know they were called anime and were from japan XD but when i was like 9 years i opened my eyes to the light *o* and came to the dark side of the force XD that's all .... (i wrote a lot lo0l) bye bee~~! mechas rule!!

That is freakin' schweet. :3

i really like they way they did the feet mounts - the arrangement that the steel bars are welded so that it still allows for slight stretch for weight of the statue

i...... look into this kinda stuff too much

STILL AWESOME ANYWAY

If they don't actually work.. they can act still like scarecrows to aliens from outer space?

I guess apart from contributing to tourism, its looks good on the resume on the industrial manufacturing companies? I'm sure its quite difficult constructing all those custom moulds, the technical ability too.

cool! what will they think of next?

With the recession, I doubt we'll be seeing any 1:1 optimus prime in N.America anytime soon.

Maybe richy rich micheal bay will foot the bill ^^;

I would rather look forward to seeing this and other 1/1 mecha models than any other Transformers sequels. I thought the second movie was meh.

what if the gundam in Tokyo and that tetsujin in Kobe is real and they are keeping it a secret. So one day they could scare the shit out of us =P

are they the preparation for the 2016 olympic candidates? so when people come to japan,
they could see those 2, or probably even more than that here in japan.

Man, first 1/1 Gundam and now 1/1 Tetsujin 28, I definitely have to hit Japan for a visit soon!! :)

wow, more 1/1 mechas, japan is going to have an army of them soon. this looks more permanent than the Gundam. still hope the Gundam will permanently displayed somewhere;_;

are they going to be tearing this one down too? ;_;

i want at least 1 giant robot monument standing when i visit next!! :P

And one day,when Japan is attacked,every single Mech will activate and SAVE THE WORLD.

Another thing to add to my to-see list. How long will this one stay up?

Seems that Japan is building up a pretty strong military force.

I hope they'd make a 1/1 scale Gurren Lagann. >_<

Are we gonna get to c a GUNDAM VS KOBE showndown?

This is dream comes true for the 1960~~~

Japan is just so...awesome

can we wait for a 1:1 mazinger Z and 1:1 getter robo to form the Holy Trinity of SRW now???

Theres going to be real mecha wars soon...WHERE DO I BEGIN ENLISTING!?

1/1 is always the best scale. It looks like production on this has already come very far. Japan's own version of wonders of the world?

I wanna see one of the ARX-7 Arbalest from Full Metal Panic...

the classic SR... very nice...
now let me guess... Atami is creatinga 1/1 Mazinger Z right?

Hope it can intercept misfired missles from Kim Jong Il!

lol. more 1:1 scale figures being made now. they are awesome.

That's cool and all, but WHEN WILL THEY BUILD MAZINGER-Z?!

Cool, maybe they'll keep this one up?

I'm with Danny on these. It's a conspiracy to hide Japan's new high tech defense systems.

Nobody would even suspect that the 1/1 figures are actually real and working....(-_-) (^_^)

Wow, good stuff. Hope they both stay as monuments and won't be torn down after. Now we only need an Eva, Gurren-Lagann and RahXephon to complete the collection ^^

Never heard of Kobe before :o

Really old school stuff, popular when I was an elementary school kid. But this show never aired in Hong Kong unfortunately so I have not see it personally.

Gunbuster dare. XD
Mirai and Haruka 1:1? :3

By the way I see it, Tetsujin's internal structure seem to make it incapable of moving. Maybe except the head.

i wonder what is the next 1/1 robot they gonna build?
I really do hope the build an Eva *grin*

I like that fact, that they are doing this in general but this one looks just... meh!!

Lol. DyGenGuar Anyone?

My goodness...
Does that mean every city in Japan will get a 1/1 scale robot made?

Life size Gurren Lagann next please.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann would be stretching the budget a bit...

zOMG!!!

can't wait for its completion 8DDDDD

North Korea are so screwed...

OMG how cool!!!

Wooooo! Another one! Ultraman next??? I'd want the originsl Zord after this personally lol.

See... now I'm wondering... in this supposedly huge economic downturn... Japan has $1.4mil to spend on giant robots? I know 1.4mil is probably nothing to them... but still. Is it just cos Japan is doing better than the rest of the world? I wanna know how Canada is doing. Thats where I wanna go.

That's awesome.
I wonder if there is a MECH competition going on between the Japanese cities ^^

cool!
i want Shining Gundam next!

A giant egg in construction.

I'm sensing a trend with this thing. Mazinger next! XDDD

Can it move like the 1/1 RX-78? I hope so~ x_x

What's the next mech on the list, EVA-01? After that, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? LOL XD

I want a 1:1 Grendizer!!! XD

Hmm, Gunbuster next ? =)

Whoom..

Wow! After Gundam RX78, now it's Tetsujin 28 turn. I think they are addicted with creating 1/1 robots.

man, I would much prefer it if they used the Tetsujin 28 Go design from the 80's show...

Glad I waited to visit Kobe till when I get back. Was going for a Fate Stay Night location shoot. With this new scale robot, you can bet I'll be going soon.

I like this trend:)

what about a 1/1 scales version of the robot from from gurren anime.

Someone, please build Godzilla coming out of the water near Tokyo. Please!

looks awesome.
want more of these gaint robots.

WOW! In a few years Japan will be full of mechas.
Flying over Japan by plane will be really cool.

1:1 EVA 02, pls.

WOW lol XD now they should build an EVA somewhere ^^

very nice. looks like the giant mecha monument trend is catching on. so this one's permanent, that's even better.

I would like to see a Nightmare. (Code Geass)

Wheres Strike Freedom? =/

Wow, Another great piece of Art!
Will this one stay long? I have more reason go to Japan now...

I wonder will this become a future trend?...

Interesting

soon japan will be littered with all of them whoopee!

itz a beautiful world we live in.

havto to go to kode. when eva is comming?

Hmm....not as impressive as a Gundam though,they would've gotten alot more visitors if the built a EVA or a Knightmare Frame

danny can I borrow some pictures? XD

How awesome! Instead of having a military Japan will soon have an army of super robotic warriors at their command. XD Would be so cool if more will be built.

We need a 1/1 scale here in Nagoya!

If Japan go on continuing the construction of mechas and other foreign countries imitating, it will start a real super robot wars xD

Marcsy and Mechamind beat me to it, but a 1:1 scale Gunbuster 01/02 would be totally awesome.

(Now if somebody could hook me up with a 1:1 scale Buster Machine #7.... :P~ )

Seems like the mechas are being made one by one, can we expect all of them to exist at once in Japan? That'd be a really historical moment.

Japan's line of defense is getting stranger and stranger O.o LOL

another one? WOW ^o^

I don't really get why they're doing all this now, in the economic crisis. It's a hell of a lot of money, could be better spent on other things.

Oh sure it's all just fun and games till the robots overthrow their human creators.

hmm,,,adding this to my list of places to visit in Japan.....the list keeps on getting longer and longer......

I hope they leave it up. All that money spent constructing it. It should be left up as a permanent tourist attraction D:

It's good for a couple of laughs...though you'd wish all these skilled engineers etc. would spend their time creating something that actually...functions. I'd rather see a RA terror drone that works then some massive robot statue that just stands there for show.
Everyone knows that tiny robots are the coolest ones :D
We want a humongeous nanobot hive lol!

Japan is the best..
this gonna be awesome..

Hmm, thats two 1/1 scale mechas now. Makes me wonder if every city in Japan is going to have one and then they will all battle it out in some city-mecha competition! ...that, would be epic. ^_^

No wonder Japan faces an uber recession.

ironman 28! and where is the boy? i thought there's a boy in his shoulders?

Seriously?! (who's Tetsujin?)

After that, how about 1:1 scaled VF-1 Valkyrie from Macross? :D

Isn't that Tetsujin dude 'Gigantor'?

Gigantooor...Gigantooor...GigaaAAaaAAaantoooor!

is Japan in that era of "giant Mecha's everywhere!!" now?

I bet after they put up enuff that nobody bothers to notice anymore, thaaaaaats when they'll become real functioning and take over the world!

What they aren't telling you about these 1/1 scale mechas is...

They're actually functional.

Impressive. What now, Gurren Lagann? Mazinger Z? (I'd love to see a 1/1 scale of both mechas, that would be awesome)

that's just beyond awesome.

I really think that they should make a Godzilla one now.

Woah! thats costly to build one.

Can they build a tengen toppa gurren lagann robot?

Man, I want a full scale model of Gurren Lagann. Row row fight da powah!

mazinger z!!! what about mazinger z, Z!!
