Jun 14 2009 Ooooh, He's Light Up: Gundam At Night
Thought the Japanese Gundam statue looked good during the day? Well check it out at night! The statue is chock-full of blinky blinks and other lighting effects to help assure the citizens of Japan they're safe from attack. Unless it's an inside job. *ahem* I'm looking at you, RX-78.
Hit the jump for a bunch more and a link to the HQ versions in case you want to print em out and make love to them. Sicko.
Jun 10 2009 Japan Completes Life-Sized Gundam Statue
Nice Japan, a giant freaking Gundam -- I was tired of living anyways. You know, you're really flirting with fire here. Like that time I tried to make out with a candle and almost set my nacho ablaze.
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.
Now I'm not saying this thing is gonna come alive, go rogue, and destroy Japan, but it is, and my schoolgirl panties better ship before it does.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a couple links to massive picture galleries.

Nov 13 2008 Styrofoam Gundam Looks Styrofoamy, Tasty
This is a Gundam-esque robot made out of recycled styrofoam packaging. Thankfully, I'm not that afraid of him because I'm pretty confident I could karate chop right through his ass. HI-YA!
Holy shit, he broke my arm. Quick, a lighter!
UPDATE: Mmmm, I love the smell of *cough* burning styrofoam in the morning. Smells like *cough*....cancer.

Thanks to Stephanie, who knows the only good robot is one made of packaging peanuts. Or macaroni.
Jul 18 2007 Full Scale Gundam Robot
Some folks in Japan took it upon themselves to make a full scale, 59-feet-tall Gundam robot. I can't tell out if they're going to leave it on the ground or prop it up standing, but I can tell you one thing: this is madness! Beautiful, beautiful, madness. You can't tell, but a single tear is rolling down my cheek right now.
