Tuesday, June 9, 2009 GIANT FUCKING ROBOT!

Somewhere in Japan stands a 59-foot tower of metal and plastic, a "life-size" giant robot looming over all it surveys.


Built to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise, the statue is located on the artificial island of Odaiba near central Tokyo, where it will be on free display throughout the summer.


Unfortunately, it's coming down at the end of August. No word yet as to whether it will be moved someplace else or simply scrapped.
