ガンダム解体

What a shame it had to be taken down. I guess someone (Heero Yuy) used the self-denotation device on it ^^;

Oh no! Hope no one was hurt and that the Gundam wasn't badly injured. And yes, they have angered the Gundam gods!!!

wow... dismantle started from the mid section ? =S

That's...quite a sight. Sure hope there were no injuries.

Nooooooo :'(

noooooo, too soon!!! ;_;

that's a sad sight for a variety of reasons ;_;

Wow.. it truly is an unfortunate scene... Still the gundam is HUGE!!!

I could imagine hearing all the screams of panic and horror. Hopefully no one was injured, and it's quite fortunate that looks like it didn't fall forward towards the crowd.

Someone needs to Photoshop a evil mobile suit holding a saber into there...

Ah! It was so beautiful too...where in the world do you think they're going to put all of that? When things like this get dismantled, do you ever wonder where they go? Surely...not just "thrown away". O_O

this looks photoshoped to me...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thats disappointing. I hope they have something equally as cool for when I end up going to japan.

All they have to do now is to put the REAL insides in it.

LOL! At least add a Zaku in the photo slicing RX-78~

Mobilize all repair forces at once! The japanese pride is lying on the ground!

Nooooo.... Why would they take it down..... T.T

I hope they'll just take it somewhere else ;)

; ; I wanted to visit before it was torn down!

...implies it's photoshopped, no?

Did some alien mobile suit cut it with a shiny chopstick? Good grief his dolphin is still in one piece!

Surely this is a sign that they weren't supposed to dismantle it.

I wonder how much that Gundam "model" would cost to buy for one's self, hahaha. I suppose if you had the room for it, you'd probably have the money for it, huh?

A real pity indeed. Still, it had to happen close to 09 September 09,
Not quite the smartest thing to do :X

Hmm, I believe this is Zeon's doing o_O

It was being taken down this soon??? I didnt realise....

And eeep at the accident... that can't be good... what if it got damaged? Or squished people?

Not bad photo shop....

nooooooooo! sadness.....

Looks a bit artificial to me... The photo I mean... :3

oh no!!!!! :(!!!!

OMFG how will Japan defend itself withought gundam

noooo~~~ T-T

That's a shame that it was taken down briefly after it was assembled.

No worries. The title of the photo explains that this is a fake composite photo.
Was in Odaiba a couple of days ago and Gundam is still there (although the park are is now closed). Not sure how much longer though. There were some huge cranes there so the dismantling has already begun. I guess a few more weeks and Tokyo loses it's robot guardian (T_T)

I know what happened: Danny's dollfie daughters heard the gundam was talking smack about them, took him out at the knees. Don't ever mess with a dollfie that has gun.

What Happen? Somebody set up it the bomb?

Shop or not shop?

I wonder if it has something to do with the polemics about the surrounding area being destroyed because of the multitude of people visiting it....

According with the range of his mid body fell. It looks like it was trying to fly up using the booster pack leaving it legs behind. lol

I hope this was shopped. If not, what ever happened to the petition to keep it up? D:

Too bad... it deserves to stay up. Unfortunately, the amount of visitors have destroyed the grounds around it so maybe this is for the better.

They deserve it fell on them.. they should have never even tried to dismantle it! Ò.Ó.

Celestial Being did it.

*mourns* gundam dismantle do not want~

dont worry everyone... they're just upgrading it ^_^ (hopefully)

Did it really fall like that? Looks physically impossible to me, and I am not seeing the sizable equipment that would be required to take something like this down. My conclusion, shopped.

I believe that the Japanese should have better engineering and technical know how to dismantle that Gundam properly... from the photo... all I can think of is that they dismantle it from the knee part? maybe I'm wrong but that's all I can think of from the above single photo... but then again... we all should beg to the new Japan Prime Minister to talk to the relevant parties and put this Gundam statue back or relocate it to other locations... this should be one of the famous landmark of Japan.... after all anime and toys are important industry to Japan...

:( Very sad

Looks like the handiwork of the North Koreans!

......

All right, I know there are Zeon fans on this forum, so fess up, who successfully blew up a Gundam and lacked the gonads to brag about it online?

Its going to be sold to some rich eccentric anime fan, I'm eccentric enough just need to work on the money situation though. I'll just put a silly bid on ebay and hope for the best.

The stubborn thing didn't want to leave. Mind of its own, I say! Who in the right mind installed an AI?

yeah...it does look shopped to me, the shadow seems a bit off and the crowd doesn't seem to take notice of the fallen torso...o.O? anyways...hope it does stay up ^^*thinking positive...

That's a hilarious photoshop, but I wonder why they dismantled it that way. I guess they didn't want to rebuild it all again from scratch.

Seeing this makes me very sad :(

I have mix emotions about this.. ..

Oh, I'm so glad that I came to Odaiba just in time before the dismantling.... At least I took pictures with the Gundam ^_^

The first image is photoshopped too, you'll notice there are 2 clouds that look the same on the left =/

Awe I never got to see it T^T

Why are its lights still on? Wouldn't they have turned all the lights off before they started to dismantle it?
... oh wait *looks at the pixels*

Quite a few shoops indeed.

definintely shopped lol

Now I'm not sure but somewhere in Japan, they are planning to make a life sized Tetsujin 28, or Gigantor. Not sure where it will be though! Can't wait, now they also need to make Char's Zaku, or at least make most of the main mobile suits from the series over the next few years...That would be awesome!

So a Zaku did the dismantling!
Nice photoshop there...

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (Gundam)!!!!! I'm sad that I didn't get to see it... But I'm also glad someone made this pic of the situation. That cheered me up. XD Hope nobody was hurt under it.

they secretly put up a Zaku with more mobility... and apparently fighting capabilities!
it was an epic construction and an epic dismantle lol XD

It makes me sad that I never had a chance to see this in person...

It should have been left standing until the end of time.

Ok, that looks so stupid that it has to be a photoshop job.

That's just Destiny's way saying they should keep the gundam FOREVER. Why dismantle it, seriously WHY??

NOOOOOOO!
the Zaku won T_T

Gundam will be back someday

would have so love to have been there...but im sure it's not the last we'll see!!

Aww, good bye Gundam, you were amazing while you were stood.

godzilla wanted his spotlight back? lol, i've never watched any gundam, so i have no gundam-related remarks..

ザクにやられるなんて！＿？

BAD END

He got nice boated by the yandere zaku ^^;
Hmm, why do they want to take it down? I don't see anything wrong with leaving it there...

obviously a photoshop. Just look at the upper body...that's not normal looking (balance-wise) if it fell; the thing would be broken if not laying face-down. Anyway, there was absolutely no good reason to take the Gundam down huh?

I really hoped that they would leave it up for longer..

Wonder if its really photoshopped? It did get cloudy Tuesday-Wed this week in Tokyo and I did hear rumors that it was supposed to be going down around monday.

Here is how the site looked on Sunday. There is a crane and the construction fencing is back up.

Truely a sad day. I do hope that its only a temporary move and that the Gundam will rise again in a more permanent area.

As sad as it is that I wasn't able to see it, the cost of maintenance would be too high to keep it up... winter, typhoons, etc. There isn't much profit in it to cover such costs by just having it stand around outside for free either right? It only makes sense to take it down. Hopefully they'll either put it on display somewhere else or pit it back together for another celebratory event in the future!

Surely not happen ever ... Instead they're dismantling ... what a pity

I bet the pilot of that Zaku is pretty happy right now.

あーびっくりした^^;

It's been dismantled because they are gonner ship it to my house.

Kidding but its just so wasteful to pull this down so soon after putting so much money and time into it =/

Wait, what?! Why was it taken down?! D:

What ... ? Don't tell me it really happened ? O_O

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!

kinda looks like when you put a model together and you dont have the legs in the right spot :3

Aarggh... I am going to Japan for three weeks - leaving next Thursday. Darn, I wanted to see that Gundam. Timing is everything, I guess.

They souldn´t dismantle it to begin with... why do tey do it?, please someone enlight me. >____<
Anyway must be really hard to remove something as big.

Hope its reassembled somewhere else, would really like to see it up close.

Probably end up on auction or on tour, I guess. Anyone interested? :D

Looks like he got tired of standing up to me and is taking a nap. /sigh They just don't build Gundams like they used to...

Nice update add in photo.

Poor Gundam! T_T

what the %&"·$%&@ are #"$&/()@!! thinking... ooooor maybe will be rebuild in another place :3 or country :D

A real shame to see this go. Wonder what will be put up next?

Bernie wins!

ZAKU FTW, needed to be chars though =P

Sieg Zion!

why are they dismantling it?

LOL I've been PhotoShoped >.<

DAMN GOOD PIC THE ONE BY MIRAGE.............kudos!

The enemy has arrived!! Me dont like it.

They should have just left it up =(

Why did they have to take it down??!?!!!

It was way too epic! they should have left it up...

lol, nice try, photoshooooped. Can tell the shade is a bit off and duplicated clouds.
