It’s Back! (and this time it means business)

Anime News: It’s Back! (and this time it means business)
Remember how we nodded towards our mechanical friend in the paper craft article? Well, he can now nod at you! He’s back in top shape (movable head and all) and casting a shadow in the city of Shizuoka.
It’s A Gundam!
The city of Shizuoka has been graced by the fully functional 1:1 Gundam RX-78-2 statue, which now has a mighty Beam Saber by its side. The saber glows in the dark (as do many of the Gundam’s components) and it’s up to scale like the statue. The display is set to last from now until the end of March 2011, so we expect to see many weddings or major events being held under its watchful gaze as it happened when the Gundam made its debut in Tokyo.
The statue looks as impressive as ever; it’s located north of the Shizuoka Station and so it’s standing tall right next to enough buildings to give a true sense of its scale and carry the vibe of the anime.
