Had some time yesterday to visit the 1/1 Scale Gundam (RX-78-2 model) in Shiokaze Park, Odaiba (get off Daiba station on the Yurikamome line). At 18 meters tall, it is a thing of beauty.
It smokes, it lights up! Too bad the weather was not cooperative that day.
I’m not liking the lights they put on the eyes, though. It ruined a lot of photos.
It’s interesting how, at events like these, everyone has their mobile phones taking photos and videos. I wonder how many terabytes are taken every day.
While the 18m Gundam looks awesome, the 4000 ton, 120 meter daibutsu (big buddha) at Ushiku can destroy it with just a flick of a finger.
Good thing the buddha is peace-loving.
