Fans flock to see Tokyo’s giant Gundam
The 1:1 scale Gundam mobile suit officially went on display in the Odaiba area of Tokyo over the weekend, and the “Mezamashi TV” morning news show was there to interview some fans (this video has partially translated into English):

- a cosplayer couple
- a little kid dressed like Char
- a dude who built his own Zaku
- Gundam-obsessed photographers
- a hotel room with a perfect view of the giant mobile suit
