As reported earlier, this giant 35-ton, 18-meter badass Gundam is set to be unveiled in Odaiba, Tokyo on July 11 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Gundam Moblie Suit robot franchise. It will be open to the public (for free) until August 31.

All you robot fans should travel to Odaiba and pay your respects.

Also, check out the rest of Mainichi’s online gallery of photos and the two cool videos below:

As you can see especially on the second video (by StudioGIW), this is a very well made Gundam, down to the smallest details; even the small markings on its body are finely rendered. Gundam fans should be ecstatic.
