Japan builds life-sized 60ft-tall Gundam Mobile Suit
Mar 12, 2009 06:42According to gametrailers.com, Japanese toy company Bandai is working on building a 60ft-tall life-sized Gundam mobile suit to mark the 30th anniversary of the anime series. It is currently in production (at some top secret location, no doubt) and will be assembled at its new display site later in the month.
It looks like somebody forgot to tell these guys we're in the middle of a recession. Ah well. I can't think of a better way to lift the spirits of a nation than with an awesome giant robot suit, can you?
Check out the pictures below, and be sure to note the tiny humans near the foot! The last two are artists rendering what it will look like when released into the wild.
