Description Well, they did it.

Japan made their first giant robot. If its functional at all remains to be seen. But regardless, this is the single most greatest thing I've ever seen as a fan.

Its Gundam's 30th aniversary, and this was put together relatively fast according to this article. [link] Thanks to Mikeinel for introducing this to us. It is a 1:1 scale model of the RX78 Gundam, and it is at least ~150 ft of awesome.

As a gundam fan.. all I can say is SWEEEEEEET. Sure, the Gundam Mk I, aka the White Devil, as is depicted there.. isnt the most awesome gundam ever.. its technically a GM unit with super reinforced armor, better weapons, and a different head.. but it started it all. XD Now Japan.. I challenge you.. Make a 1:1 scale model of the Gundam Wing Zero!

This proves that Gundam is to japan as Star Wars is to North America.

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.
