More of these Gundams fighting it out in space in some elaborate reality show? Heh, that's a bit too far-fetched, but you never know. Something as cool as this was constructed after all. What’s next?

The head moves back and forth and it vents smoke. If you drape a Santa Claus costume over it, no one would know the difference or be that impressed either. I totally understand the fans though, if this was a statue of Voltron, I might be a little more amazed and happy. I think they should say the statue was built by the USA or China, which is why it doesn't at least move its arms or crouch or even shoot laser beams!! If it could shoot a rocket and blow up a boat... now that would have been AWESOME. I saw this robot a few days ago, and both my girlfriend (Japanese) and I were very disappointed.

But it's made so that it can be assembled and disassembled easily, so it's bound to pop up at another event locale later on. No, it’s going to be up until the end of August.
