If your town is getting a new Gunpla factory, it only makes sense that it get a full-size Gundam statue too, right?
life-size Gundam
Gundam Factory extends operations for all the fans who couldn’t make it to Yokohama during the pandemic.
Almost everyone takes their photos from right underneath the anime robot, but a little distance gives you a whole new perspective.
Yokohama’s life-size Gundam always looks incredible, but on this day the timing was just right to take it to a whole other level with an incredible wide-angle shot.
Head-raising ceremony held for new/Nu Gundam, the first life-size mobile suit in west Japan.
Gundam takes a one-day break from fighting Zeon to raise sustainability awareness and save fans some cash.
West Japan gets its first 1:1-scale mobile suit with the last mecha of the anime’s original hero.
Some of the world’s greatest athletes hang a left at the life-size anime robot in their race for Olympic gold.
Gundam awesomeness comes full circle in photo series that shows full-size real-world statue looking like amazing illustrations.
We finally know when we’ll be able to get up close and personal with Yokohama’s 18-meter (59-foot), 25-metric ton (55,500-pound) mobile suit.
