I may not know the whole deal about Gundam, but I do collect the toys. However they all fall short of expectations against this gigantic Gundam replica that Japan has just completed. Geekologie has some info to share:
"To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the mecha anime/manga/toy/video game franchise, this 18-meter-tall (59-foot-tall) RX-78 has been erected.
Fifty points on the Gundam statue will emit light, and mist will shoot out of 14 different points on the statue. The 1/1 scale Gundam boasts a moveable head and a continuous stream of oh-man-this-is-so-damn-cool."
Wow...just like how we used to see it on TV--Gundam standing as tall as the city's buildings, zapping in on bad bad nemesis. :) Too bad if you're a die hard Gundam fan, you just can't take the statue home to add to your collection. :D
