Standing a massive 59-feet tall, this life-sized RX-78 Gundam in Tokyo is just about complete. Apparently, it’s a marketing campaign by Bandai and not a functional robot. Click here for first picture in gallery.
This RX-78 Gundam will be hanging out in Odaiba for about two months until its robot powers are needed in North Korea.
This is what happens when a geek — without an engineering degree — attempts to build a life-sized Gundam robot. We have to admit, it does look a lot cooler than your standard PC tower. Click here for additional pictures.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam basically “takes gamers through an intergalactic conflict where the only hope for survival is to annihilate the encroaching opposing forces.” Video review after the jump. Click here for more pictures. Here’s the bottom line:
It can be fun at times, and leveling your pilots up does encourage multiple play throughs, but this game is much more suitable for Gundam enthusiasts than the average gamer
So you’ve seen the images, now take a tour of the gigantic 1:1 scale Gundam robot. Video after the break.
Located at the base of Mt. Fuji, Gundam Crisis is impressing Japanese nerds. Some dude clamed, “It looks like the real thing.” As if he’s seen one! The wait to get up and close with the giant mecha is 40 minutes

Yes, this is actually a 59-feet tall, 1:1 scale model of a Gundam robot. Unfortunately, this robot can’t walk/fly around and kick some butt, but on the bright side, visitors are allowed to walk inside.
..you can even get inside the cockpit while you play in the interactive Gundam Crisis attraction that surrounds it
