60-Foot Tall Gundam Robot Invading Tokyo

Godzilla better watch its back, because toy maker Bandai is going to erect a 60-foot tall Gundam robot suit at an artificial Toyko Bay island (pardon the obvious Godzilla joke there, it was too good to pass up). Bandai is creating the statue in honor of the anime series’ 30th anniversary. The steel-framed statue is in production now and should be ready to defend Tokyo by July. However, it’ll only stay there for two months before it’s removed from the display site. After that, who knows? Maybe the U.S. could stand it up next to the Statue of Liberty. [via CrunchGear]
