Default Life Size Gundam unveiled; now with shiny beam sabre

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-shizuoka-home


I don't know how many other Gundam enthusiasts are around, but I think this is probably one of the coolest things ever.
On display until January 10th.

I find this to be a grave injustice.

One does not simply walk into Beijing and steal Optimist Prime. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

I don't consider him to be an optimist, but he does have a positive attitude.

Are Gundam supposed to have flashing neon disco lights all over their body?

Why is the beam saber not lit up? Looks kind of lame, like a giant Chogokin dildo.
