Life size Gundam - Fukuoka Japan
This post goes out to all the anime and manga fans on hive!
Last month I was flown to Fukuoka Japan for work and while driving around I noticed a huge Gundam next to a shopping centre.
So it was my mission to stop there and have a proper look at this life size Gundan!
Who is Gundam you ask?
Well Gundam is a Japanese anime/manga cartoon created in 1979. The Gundam is giant, humanoid combat robots known as mobile suits. Kaos ensuite.
This particular Gundam is located at the Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Fukuoka
Gundam stands 24.8 meters tall and is based off of the RX-93 ν Gundam mobile suit. Which makes this the tallest Gundam statue in the world!
It was so impressive to see such a huge robot towering over the city!
It was about 7pm when we arrived and there was alot of people gathering around the robot.
I thought to my self wow people are really into Gundam here.
But then all of a sudden Gundam eyes lit up and some music started to play.
There was a little bit of a light show
The kids were all getting excited then out of nowhere his head started to move and his arm slowly raised up!
I had no idea that this huge robot actually moved how cool is that!!
So if your ever in Fukuoka Japan this life size Gundam is definitely worth checking out!

So a Gundam is different to a transformer. I suppose there here to save the world. Come to think of it maybe I remember watching a cartoon on T.V called Gundam or maybe my son was it growing up.
Yeah two different franchises. I remember watching it on tv around 2000 ish. Totally forgot about it until we were in Japan and seen this guy haha
That’s so cool! I’ve heard about it and have wanted to visit ever since. Really glad to see a fellow Hivean getting to see the life-sized Gundam in person!
It sure was impressive to see in person!
I hope you get to see it one day!!
