Japan’s Actually Building A Huge Gundam Robot

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first broadcast of the “Mobile Suit Gundam” animated television series, an 18-meter-tall, “full scale” Gundam statue is currently being built at Shiokaze Park in Tokyo’s Odaiba.

The lower half of Gundam’s body, which measures about 11 meters high, has already been constructed. After other parts of the character’s body are finished, including the head, arms and torso, they will all be assembled.

The completed Gundam statue is expected to weigh nearly 35 tons, move its head and emit light or mist from 50 points of its body.
