Construction of the lifesize Gundam model due for exhibition soon is well underway, and even partially completed the machine presents a monstrous spectacle sure to excite small children, Gundam enthusiasts, and of course Japanese men.

What would really be awesome is if they could make a life sized tetsujin or godzilla one dayyeah, it'll be Japan's Statue of Liberty

holy crap!!! wonder which gundam that is!!?? hmmmm which series does is belong too??

[DoubleZeta]

I think they have a life-size RX-78 gundam in display at the Gundam museum in japan. I wonder if this one under construction is also an RX-78 gundam? or some other gundam? like... the Zeta gundam? or at least the DoubleZeta gundam?

Or maybe the Freedom gundam?

[solidoxygen]

Wow, what're they going to do with it when they're done with it? I want one to put in my garden for decoration...
---------------------

It's so ironic how the assembly site is surrounded with "Green Tokyo"...
...maybe it's a new solar powered/hybrid/fuel efficient Gundam that shoots fertilizer out of its guns.

i think it would be RX-78 because it is the first gundam i think

[yoyoyoyou]

I read in another article that it's a replica of the RX-78-2 from the 1st series.

Oh wow *jaw drop*. I wonder how much it will cost them all in all.

[KeiichiMamoru]

Cool! I wonder what Gundam is that, I really hope that's RX-78. xD

I'm going to pilot that when it's finish. *grins*

ROFL! AHAHAHAHH! Nice one! you got me their big time!

and yes that is a RX-78-2 Gundam..... it's amazing they will built a real life Size gundam.... as Solidoxygen stated that features is like to be true.... but i think with dedicated research... in 25-45 years of research they can make that baby fly like the Real stuff.... in my humble opinion....

as you can see at the picture the legs are hook to a Hydraulic system with the functions at the Center piece.... so i think they will experiment if they can move it upon completion.....

[coldfire01]

weee.. i hope they can ship that baby overseas... they can earn a lot if that thing is aboard a tanker or something.... oh man i love it when gundam seed (calamity, forbidden and raiden hops in on the United States aircraft carrier)

i wonder how the other mechs like transformer and director michael bay counters this.

[Pattehfilipino]

lol its so sweet!!!!
its sooo much better than my perfect grade version of the RX-78 XD
I wish I took my sweet time when making that model...all 626 parts of it ><

[GhostAJR]

i do believe my heart stopped for a second.....that is awesome xD....i..i...i want it...right outside my house,just so i could wake up and look up at it T.T xD

Do they really have a Gundam museum? I know that Japan is like the holy grail of otaku's but even I think that having a Gundam museum is a bit over the top, not mentioning actually building a 1:1 sized Gundam


I'm so envyious :emhh04:

[Maemichan]

oh man if that is true...that's going to be my first choice of place of destination whenever i visit japan!
*fantasizing* Having the RX-78 outside my backyard, piloting it around *fantasizing*

[rcizzle1]

That's insane. they have only completed the legs and its huge.

[chancesz]

i think it would be RX-78 because it is the first gundam i think

yeah i think your right. its a RX-78 2 by the look of its legs. the others of the rx-78 series have thrusters on their legs.

[dothacked]

Cool!! i wonder if it can move once finished

[Rylsouske]

Well, Is it made out of Gundanium? LOL

[kurai]

Something i will stop by and see when i go to japan this summer :D

[Snoozy19]

I just looked it up online and its completed....

Its insanely HUGE!!!!

Lookit..

Its like a robot looking down on smurfs...LOL

If aliens were to invade earth they would stand no chance against it in a no moving contest...

But it does come with one featured power...http://haniblog.com/wp-content/uploads/Gundam/GundamNight_Full.jpg It'll blind you to death...LOL

[Kobowo]

sughoi! seeing a real life gundam O_O

[ReaperX]

woot!!!its so big...
COOL!!!
they should make life-size Code Geass mechas...much smaller and cooler

[ichimongi123]

It would be really nice if they could actually build a real moving gundam, not just a giant statue of it? hehehe
