The Giant 1/1 Scale Gundam Statue RETURNS! [Coolness]
Missed the 1/1 scale giant Gundam when it was in Tokyo’s Odaiba this past summer? It may be long gone, but that doesn’t mean the chances of you seeing it are kaput. Far from it!
A Bandai Namco spokesperson has revealed that the huge 18-meter statue will be once again erected in the city of Shizuoka this July — specifically, the east exit of Japan Rail Higashi-Shizuoka Station.
Why Shizuoka? The Production Factory for Bandai’s Gundam plastic models are located in Shizuoka. This is a homecoming of sorts. A really, really big homecoming.
Originally, the statue went up in Tokyo’s Odaiba last July for the 35th Anniversary of Gundam and was taken done in September. The statue was visited by over 4 million.
