If you ever wanted to see a full sized Gundam, you’ll need to head to Shizuoka, Japan, where the 59 foot statue stands. Or you could watch this brilliant time-lapse video by darwinfish105 that showcases the 1:1 scale giant robot.

Old School OG RX-78! OG as in Original Gundam, or Original Gangsta. Been a big fan of Gundam ever since middle school when I was first introduced to the Z-Gundam series the year it came out 1985-1986. Since then, I’ve only ever really been a fan to the official canon UC(Universal Century) timeline stuff and hardly ever acknowledege the other many “excuse to knock out more toys” Alternate Universe timelines. When Gundam finally hit mainstream here in the US on Cartoon Network few years back and I saw the toys at Wal-Mart, Target,and K-Mart…I really could not believe I would be seeing that in my lifetime! I mean: is this really for real???
