If you thought you were a fan of the Gundam series, check this out — It was recently made known that a life-sized replica of an RX78 Gundam was rececently constructed and is nearing completion.

The statue came to existence to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise. The mammoth stands 59-feet tall and was constructed from a steel frame covered with fiberglass-reinforced plastic.

Unfortunately, the display will only stand for about 2-months in Obaiba’s Shiokaze Park however the statue’s 50-points of illumination along with 14-points of mist emission along with a moveable head will make for a great spectacle.
