We spend a day straining our necks and filling our anime-loving hearts to bursting staring up at the brand-new, full-size Unicorn Gundam statue.
Actually, they’re better than OK, because on Sunday, Tokyo’s new Gundam statue made its official debut, and it’s even bigger than the old one!
Based on the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (from Gundam Unicorn, the most recent Gundam anime set within the franchise’s original Universal Century timeline), the 1:1-scale replica is 19.7 meters (64.6 feet) tall, 1.7 meters taller than its predecessor statue of the old-school RX-78-2 Gundam.
Wait around until after the sun goes down, and you’ll be rewarded once again, as the Destroy Mode’s panels glow extra-bright at night.
