Life-sized Gundam in Odaiba!

Holy crap! Man, would I love to be back in Odaiba to check this out!

I'd totally geek out if this was a life-sized Optimus...

This 18 meter high model of the RX-72-8 Gundam model was built to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime, which many credit for revolutionizing the art of anime.

The model can do a few simple tricks, as seen in the video above, and will only be around for 2 months (from July 2009), so if you are around Odaiba, Japan, make sure you check it out! Best part? It's free for public viewing!

Ahhh... Otaku-bliss!
