Mr. Bushido · 2009-03-12T01:10:56-01:00

Wow I've seen it coming but I wasn't expecting it to come this soon. http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/03/11-scale-gundam-rx-78-2-in-july.html 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 (æ½®é¢¨å…¬åœ’) 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" (? - ãƒŸã‚¹ãƒˆå™´å°„ã‚®ãƒŸãƒƒã‚¯) 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 ^^

I saw it today, was pretty cool. Periodically the Theme music started up and steam came out its backpack and legs and it's head moved around. I took a few pics if anyone is interested.
