Pretty interesting article actually. Title: Re: Japan loves the Gundam. Post by: Bllue on November 18, 2008, 04:11:21 PM I've said this before, but They have a life size gundam in the Okayama Prefecture. a man could work it. My friend has picture. I'll get them from her.

It could walk around a bit. They made it into a regular statue later. It isn't as big as it would be if the ratios were the same as in the animes, of course.

I'm pretty sure he'd have been one of those "damn kids get off my lawn!" types. :D Title: Re: Japan loves the Gundam. Post by: R. Daniel 01 on November 23, 2008, 01:37:56 PM No, this would fall under the sketchy, "cute kids, come onto my lawn" scenarios. You can't build a giant interactive toy statue and expect kids to keep their distance...
