Gundam Statue Erected!

[Arisato-kun]

I wouldn't mind having say £5 extra being taxed off my wages every week for something like this, It's the same as any other statue you would find dotted all around the UK, only this one represents modern culture.

They should have made it much taller though, like 30ft minimum :|

I was honestly hoping for a 1/1 Scale model myself. In the final pose when he shoots down Zeong. But with a head and arm of course.

I only saw the word, "Erected", and clicked on this thread.

That statue is pretty neat imo.

That is all.

>.>

Well I think it's also neat. Though rather wasteful, it might as well become a national monument for them.

Pure awesomeness is they build a real gundam that can move and cut/shoot people down. This is just wasting money, matarials and time.

Meh, f**k Gundum. Id rather see Goku in his Kamehameha Pose or something.

heck yeah, but i guess gundam is more iconic.
but i'd prefer a statue of goku turning super sayain

Spoiler!

like this one, except with better detail

Y20,000,000 = £150,000 approx

For that much it should have been a lot better, something like this one:



"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]

Note to self: Since regular Japanese citizens can build something like that never go to war with Japan again.

Waste of money, but then again my goverment only wastes money...

And yeah, no war with Japan, they'll blow our asses with giant mechs.

i would love to see the colored gundam thing move, friggin awesome. but yeah a plain statue is a waste of tax money, give it to the poor. Maybe we should send some graffiti artists to spraypaint the thing for us. lol

I think it's kind of funny that since it's a statue of a Gundam, it has to be colored and it has to be ridable and it has to move :x

Seriously!!! what a waste, they could of just employed some good sculpting uni students to do it for like 1/4 of the price
