Giant Gundam returns to Japan's JR train station this July

We don’t want to sound like total dorks here but we simply can’t hold back our excitement! Remember that giant Gundam RX-78-2 robot that Japanese toy company Bandai put up on Odaiba Island in Tokyo to celebrate the 30th anniversary of anime last year? It was so popular that they’re going to do it again! The 18-meter robot (they claim it is full-scale and life-size) will be erected beside the JR Higashi-Shizuoka station in Shizuoka, one of the world’s busiest railway stations, this coming July. This is not going to be the exact same RX-78-2 because this new one will be wielding a weapon—hell yeah, this Gundam will have a giant lightsaber that glows at night and has been designed to look like it is cutting through stone. The robot will be put up on July 24 and will be there until January 10 next year.
