This really brings back memories of watching dubbed Japanese anime in Bahrain. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Gundam robots, Bandai constructed this 59-foot replica of the toy in Tokyo’s Odaiba Shiokaze park. The attention to detail is fantastic. This robot moves it’s head, has mist coming out of its vents and… lights up at night.

There are lots of photos on Flickr. I’d give my left arm for the chance to see and photograph this spectacular robot. Unfortunately it’ll only be up for a couple of months and I can’t see a trip to Tokyo happening any time soon.

Ah well, one day perhaps. Click on the photos for more detail.
