As a part of Mobile Suit Gundams 30th anniversary it was decided that a life-sized statue should be built.

Yes, okay, technically that is old news but it's now been finished.

Anyone know exactly which Gundam model it is :?:

A giant Dalek where you can walk to the eye stalk and look out. Brilliant!

And then we can send our Dalek over there and it can kick that robot's arse! :blackeye:

Oh my god they're doing it again! :shock:

Okay, it not a Gundam this time but come on more giant robot statutes.

At this rate they'll be building a Valkyrie or Eva next.

Wow, anyone would think they were nuts for giant robots. :wink:

Had to notice at the top - building a better otaku. :shock:
