Odaiba Gundam Tour

Hello bloggers,,,gives you aother detail about my last post Life size Gundam Looms on Odaiba. This guide is taken from HLJ. hopes you like it ^^...

Thousands waited patiently for their turn to see the lifesize Gundam up close.

People from all walks of life, and especially "Gundam" fans, came to see and touch the lifesize monument. Visitors could spend up to about 10 minutes on the platform, to get a good look from every angle.

All the detailing was incredible!

Here's a closeup view of the lower body. Now you know what's underneath the Gundam's skirt...more armor. Check out those panel lines and markings! What looked like steam occasionally sprayed from the black vents on the Gundam's knees.

The Gundam could be visited by as many as 1.5 million ankle-high admirers by the end of August. Attendees were allowed to touch the Gundam. No climbing, though. Gundam's armor is made of fiberglass assembled onto an inner steel frame.

Every 30 minutes, its eyes and other light sources on its body lit up, and its head would move left to right and then face upward.

Not only can the head turn from side to side, it can also pivot up!
Some took photos, some bought commemorative goods, and some even enjoyed picnicking within view of the Mobile Suit. Part of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project, the lifesize Gundam will be on display until August 31.
...but the best time to enjoy the spectacle of the lit-up Gundam is from 7pm onwards. One of the information booths showed photos of the construction process in creating this marvel.

yupp,,I think thats all for today's TOUR... All taken from Hobby Link Japan

Life size Gundam Looms on Odaiba

From fiction to reality, Amuro Ray's RX-78-2 Gundam from the seminal 1979 anime classic "Mobile Suit Gundam" has been brought to life in massive 1/1 scale as an 18-meter-tall (that’s about 60 feet!) monument!

Part of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project, and currently on display at Shiokaze Park on Japan's man-made island of Odaiba in Tokyo, it's a stunning realization of the First Gundam, sporting new additions to its classic design such as sub-nozzles beneath its backpack and incredible mechanical detail throughout, particularly in the elbow, knee, and ankle joints.

People spanning all walks of life, including thousands of "Gundam" fans, flocked to see the iconic robot on the display's official opening day of July 11, 2009. Attendees waited patiently in line to enter the venue, with staff members leading a small group of people at a time onto the raised platform the Gundam stands on, where they could view it up close, take photos, and touch the robot's armor, which is made of fiberglass assembled onto an inner steel frame. Every 30 minutes the Gundam's eyes and other light sources on its body would light up while white mist billowed from chest vents, shoulders, and legs. Its head moved from left to right, and finally looked upwards majestically while music played in the background to set the mood. On the ground directly behind the Gundam were a set of its gigantic footprints.

The surrounding stalls sold all kinds of Japanese food, while other booths offered information on the "Gundam" universe and the construction process of the lifesize model. There was also an official shop that sold Gundam-related merchandise, including the Odaiba event-limited 1/144 HG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. G30th snap-fit plastic kit (we sell the regular version of the kit). For 1,500 yen, attendees could buy a commemorative photo, with three postcards included, of themselves on a tall platform in front of the Gundam.

This amazing lifesize replica Gundam will be on display until August 31. It's a monumental landmark that everyone should definitely see with their own eyes!

Actually some parts for Exia-Re is actually included.

Yesterday is my lovely day. Because my Devil Gundam has arrived safely ^^... I've been waiting it for a long time ago hehehe...and many thanks to dennis who give me a chance for selling his collections to me so that I can continue to complete my Devil Gundam stuff. fiiuuuhh...what a great day today.

The box is still MIB (Mint in Box) and absolutely pure, I love to hug it very much ^^ and I won't opened it until the time it's true hahaha...

The box is quite big. If it is compare with Masked Rider Faiz on the left side...The box is big enough to kick him out ^^... But if it is compare with Apocalypse on the right side, Apocalyspe much taller than it. It means the box is about 30cm tall.

So far, my Devil Gundam collections still in progress...I hopes to catch another stuff and I still need your hand for helping me to find about it.

well...that's it for today. happy weekend for all.

MG Sword Impulse issues

MG Sword Impulse Gundam is almost coming, will be released on this month with a regular price of Master Grade Gundam, it is 4,725 Yen. The upcoming box was awesome, it makes us more excited to buy this model kit.

For those who loves Gundam Seed Destiny series, MG Sword Impulse will allow you to completing your Seed Destiny series. Well the body style is same like the MG Force Impulse Gundam, but with different equipment.

Sword Impulse Gundam is the ZAFT equivalent to the Earth Alliance's Sword Strike Gundam. The Sword Silhouette pack is stored on the Minerva's dedicated hangar for the Impulse Gundam and is sent out onto the field via a computer-controlled flyer craft. The flyer delivers the pack to the Impulse Gundam and automatically returns to the Minerva. The Sword Silhouette pack's armaments include two beam boomerangs, as well as a pair of anti-ship swords. The "Excalibur" swords can be combined into one large sword to attack several mobile suits or a battleship.

That is for today, hopes the real ones will come out soon. Just wait and see ^^

MS Head Display Collection #4: Devil Gundam

I'm here again with some Gundam stuff... Still remember with Devil Gundam ? Actually this is head display of Devil Gundam. I realy want this stuff, but I was too late when I checked it at HLJ, it is discontinued. wheeew... It was released on January 2009 and it was sold well. If someone ever see it, Please kindly to inform me ^^.

This small-scale head of Devil Gundam comes in sharply detailed, easily assembled prepainted parts. The eyes and lens of this catcher-game prize item are made of clear-color plastic. A pair of stand parts are included to connect to the base to lift the head up for a more prominent display if desired. The Devil Gundam head measures about 10cm tall on the display base and about 17cm tall with the stand parts connected.

This item is a soft-vinyl (PVC) kit with pre-painted parts, portraying an item from the Gundam universe. It does not require either cement or paint to complete or use.

18 Meter Gundam RX-79-2 to Rise at Tokyo's Odaiba Island in July

Let back again with Mobil Suit Gundam. I just want to share the news today. enjoy...

"The official website for the 30th anniversary of Sunrise's Gundam robot anime franchise has announced on Wednesday that an 18-meter-tall (59-foot-tall), "life-size" statue of the title robot will be built at Tokyo's artificial Odaiba island this July. The website proclaims that as part of the "Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project," "Gundam will rise from the ground." The "Real na Gundam" statue of the RX-78-2 Gundam model from the first anime series (1979) will be built at Odaiba's Shiokaze Park at the beginning of July.

The statue will be free for viewing, but it will only stay up for two months. It will be built with fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame so it can be disassembled later. The head unit will move and the body will have 50 points that will emit light. Mist can shoot forth from 14 locations on the body. The park is just four trains stops from Tokyo Big Sight, the home of the Comic Market dojinshi convention and the Gundam Big Expo convention that will be held from August 21 to August 23. Bandai Namco Group is still determining what to do with the statue after its allotted two months in the park are over.

Until now, the largest official Gundam replica in Japan was a 2/3-scale LM312V04 Victory Gundam built at 10 meters (33 feet) tall during the 1990s. A fan made a 1/3-scale MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam statue in Japan that stands seven meters (23 feet) tall.

Bandai Entertainment displayed a life-size head of the Gundam F91 robot from the 1991 film of the same name at Comic-Con International and later in San Francisco's Metreon entertainment center. Bandai Entertainment eventually auctioned that head on the eBay website in 2005. A different 1/1-scale RX-78-2 Gundam bust (from the chest up) now rests in the Bandai Museum.

The only other official life-size replica of a full RX-78-2 Gundam robot was built at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park at the foot of Mt. Fuji in 2007. However, it was built lying on the floor of a building for an interactive attraction, not standing up like the planned Odaiba statue. A life-size Tetsujin 28-g? (Gigantor) statue is still being planned at the Kobe birthplace of its creator, Mitsuteru Yokoyama, although it has been delayed from its previous 2008 opening.

The theme of the overall Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project is "Always Beginning." The life-size Gundam represents the "Real G" phase of the project, while the Gundam Big Expo convention represents the "Feel G" phase. "Soul G" will be a planned collaborative music event based on the Gundam franchise.
