"7 meter high, 3 meter wide Gundam, For a size comparison, take a look at the humans in the lower right corner. This statue is quite famous here in Japan, and I've seen it on TV a couple times. It took some dude over ten months to build. There's a cockpit and hydraulic pistons, because the thing moves. That's right, it friggin' moves" [Quote from: kotaku.com]

It moves! This dude appearantly had nothing to do. He should use his knowledge to do something more beneficial instead.

20,000,00 yen= 219,192.13 dollars US. that is a waste of money they could have least made it something special. I know thats the oringal gundam but that one sucked. If it was me i would have done Zero Gundam.

Exactly! And just when it was about time they do something like that for Gundam. :frown:

A waste of money. They should just erect a Haruhi statue instead. http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/720/facepalmhw9.png A Haruhi statue is much more charming and serves as a far better tourist attraction, super effective against the post-puberty teenage group. http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/879/edufr5.gif

Got a point there.

A bronze statue has been placed at the south exit of Kamiigusa station in Tokyo and cost 20,000,000 yen to erect.
According to the article at Yomiuri, Kamiigusa was where Sunrise first set up.
While the young folks may like the statue, the old folks dont seem to care for it.
Would be interesting to know whether that 20 million yen was tax payers money. If it was tax payers money, would you as mayor give approval for the bronze RX78?
Via Gunota and Alafista.

Spoiler!

So what do you guys think? RX-78 statue = pure awesomeness or waste of cash?
