Places to See: Actual Size Gundam Coming to Tokyo

We’re huge fans of Gundam. We’re huge fans of Tokyo. Put the two together and it’s a celebration. We’ve been building the robot models since 5th grade and Bandai is fulfilling every hobbyist’s dream by building an actual size Gundam in Tokyo.

As spotted on mashKulture: “To celebrate Gundam’s 30th anniversary, they are preparing to erect a lifesize (59 ft tall) Gundam in a public park in Tokyo, where it will remain for two months.
