My trip to the Giant Gundam in Japan

I thought it was pretty cool to see it up close and in person. I hope the video works fine. Sorry that I covered up the speaker towards the end.

I've added a facebook tag for videos like the youtube one but your permissions don't allow me to see the video.

Thanks, I think it will be easier to just put it on Youtube, so I'm doing that now. I already had it up on my Facebook account, so I thought I could just put it up there, but I forgot I don't have it available to the public.

Its pretty awesome. I've seen pics of it but never a video. Would love to see it up close. Looks pretty sweet at night. Watchin the video for some reason .. maybe my inner child ... it would break in to a dance ...

Considering it only moves its head, a still picture probably would have done the trick. :P Sorry, never got into Gundam or the giant robot thing in general!

I think you'll have a giant gundam that can move in Japan in less than 10 years. It's only a matter of time ^_^.

And yeah, Transformers would have been sweet too, but they are so tiny in comparison to a Gundam! They are building a giant Evangelion (or at least the top half) at a Japanese theme park this year too.

they should build a voltron that can srike a few poses.
and have one of its fists roar at the crowd.

theirs should be more fiction based sculpture in general.
I'm tired of seeing mean old dead white guys on horses pointing at shit.

I've always wanted to see the X-men or something.
seriously, how does NY not have a spider-man statue?
