At a press conference yesterday (March 12th), Bandai Namco Group has announced a life size Gundam RX-78-2 to be built at Shiokaze Park (潮風公園) in Tokyo. Scheduled to be completed by early July. The statue will be opened for public viewing with no admission charge.
Yup, it's going to be a non-movable statue. So sorry folks, it's Gundam but no ikimas ^^;
18 meter in height, this statue will have iron frame with FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) composites as the exterior. It's reported that the head can move up and down, and to the left and right, but the public will not be allowed to operate the movement.
In addition, there will be about 50 light-up components built into the eyes, shoulders, knees and other parts. Also, there will be 14 parts with "mist jet gimmick" (? - ミスト噴射ギミック) installed. Spot lights will be added to the surrounding of the statue to light it up during the night.
The construction cost is undisclosed.
A 1/30 scale replica and other design sketches of this statue were shown at the press conference.
The statue will not stay at Shiokaze Park forever though. It'll be transferred to another location two months after its "birth" at the park ^^

As badass as it is, what a waste of money, money that could be spent elsewhere that will help the economy. Plus, the maintenance on that thing?
That said, I'd still want to see it as a Gundam fan.

The most dissapointing part is, there is no "IKIMASU!". But I still want to see it. Just have to collect some money...

Too bad it can't move except for the head. Let's hope they'll build the White Base next. :lol:that was a nice idea, and I'll gonna hijack the white base too. Maybe Japan already built the white base somewhere just waiting for the right time to show up.
