You know, it wasn’t enough that the Japanese built a life-sized 59-foot Gundam robot, they had to go ahead and make it actually move too! Check out this video of the head turning action on this giant tribute to one of the coolest things to ever come out of Japan.

This takes the cake as the best photo of the 59-foot tall Gundam replica being erected in Japan. It’s almost as if Gundam is actually protecting Tokyo here. AWESOME.
Japan’s life-sized Gundam robot now complete

The 1:1 replica of an original Gundam robot being built in Japan is just about complete. Word is that the robot will be officially open to the public in July, but clearly if you go ahead to the area where the robot is being built, you’ll come face to face with a complete life-sized Gundam. Dannychoo has more pics which you should definitely check out.
I want to go to Japan now.
