Well not really. Was exaggerating a little there on its speaking ability for a minute.
But rather, it’s definitely open to the public for the first time yesterday and the audience finally gets to take full glimpse of the 59-foot 1/1 scale that actually moves its head and lots of neon lights casting lights upon him as part of the opening ceremony to celebrate 30 years of Gundam franchise the executive producers, writers and animators have enjoyed this far. Â Check the video to witness the unveiling of Gundam during its opening.
The Gundam director and legendary creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino, was there at the opening ceremony of the Gundam unveiling and he was very surprised how successful the Green Tokyo Gundam project went through. He admitted that it was impossible to construct it because the project team lacked the imagination onn how it can pull off such realism on every angular feature this robot is made of. Piece by piece. He even went ahead to go against this project and he gave little confidence on how it turns out. Or rather how it will end badly. Now his opinion changed. A lot..
Before we appreciate the magnificent display Japan’s brought us, here’s the video from the earlier stages of construction prior to this.
In its early stages of construction, back in June 2009….
Now the whole Gundam body completed.
The exhibit is readily open for the public to see until the end of August 2009 and they will take everything apart. If any otakus’ planning to visit there, or already living in Japan, then you’d better make the most of it now before it’ll disappear fast!
