        Wait, you're joking right?! FYI Japan has been in an economic crap-fest for years now -luckily for them our uncontrolled spending has helped relieve them of the industrialized-country-with-the-crappiest-economy-everrrrr title. Which belongs to us now.

          Their economy might be in the crapper but nat as bad as in the US. They have something called public health care which apparently americans will never get. Both countries are deeply in debt but Japan's debt isn't owned by China. That's why can they build giant gundam!

    OMFG its like wow damn its freakin amazing but I dont understand why do they have to tear it down? I mean its such an amazing master piece of a work of art better than statue's of famous people better than god statues I men ofc if one day gundams would come to existance I would totally wanna pilot one and tbh to all those comments on how its gonna be in the near future it could happen now just it costs way to much money to do all the things a gundam is capable of doing
    1.u need alot of metal
    2.a shit load of electricity to keep the whole system running
    3.the amount of fuel you have to use to keep that thing in mid air or take off
    so if those 3 factors didnt exist I'm sure japan could make a real one :P

  Does this Gundam move its head? Oh Gosh, if that's true, this robot f**ing rocks!!!

  I want one too, but I'd be happier if they built on Great Mazinger for me hehehe

  Dear CEO,

  I know this is awesome...
  However, all we need is summer bonus!!
  We don't wanna get such a big GUNDAM in a form of our bonus.

  I hope this GUNDAM will save you.

  Hopefully an inexplicable alien invasion will start in Japan. And a reluctant teenage boy, who has a lot to learn about life and love, will be the only person who could pilot the Gundam and save the world.

  Power ranger's was based in america. But it originators/ Bandai. Was a japaness Logo they used. The only Japanness theam was the weapon's used. And some of the Zord's and two of the Mega Zord's. The Dragon Zord and the White Tiger Zord. Every thing else that was done the fighten and that was all american. Japan only had about a 10% claim in Power ranger's. But they made up for that for the toy product market. And also that they might have had some idea's for creating the other zord's. But Power ranger's Was 90% American.

  As for the GunDam Robot. Very nice. But I feel Transformer's beat's it hand's down. By tran's forming a 40ft rig into a 120ft robot. impressive. My hat's is off to Transformer's Robot's in disguse.

    Dude transformers came out first as toys in Japan and Hasbro took interest and took it to the Americas. Power Rangers was based off of a Japanese show. Gundam is classic and who cares about turning a car into a giant robot! They're all born form SWEEEET JAPAN!
    Nice pictures wish I could have been there. It's so cool it gives me chills.

  Yeah, amazing. The Japanese are building another one in Kobe according to Gizmodo only this time it´s a 60 foot large 50 ton Tetsujin, and a permanent fixture, although it doesn´t move its arms or head.
  It´ll be ready in October they say.

  Hey does anyone know any of the specifics about this beast? I know it's 18 meters tall and has pretty lights, but what else? Weight? Electrical-energy consumption? Construction materials? Full articulation abilities? Is this thing just a statue or does it wave hello like a Disney character during a parade? Is this a permanent structure or just a one year thing? Any info would help, thanks.

  Si que son impresionantes esos "mounstruos" son una maravilla tecnologica del laser y leds!. ¿Se dieron cuenta que en Tranformers 3 los robots eran de la marca GM, que ahora esta en quiebra? Me parece que es una estrategia de Japon para segir posicionado. Tecnologia - robot - Japon. Los Japones solo ven marketing en todo.

  Para Todos ! Un favor, si alguien puede ayudarme.

  1.- Alguien sabe quienes son los investigadores que dasarrollan Asimo ? Nombre, mail.

  2.- Alguien sabe quienes son los investigadores que dasarrollan estos Gundam ?

  3.- No hay videos de los esas moles?
