Speaking of Tetsujin 28 statue on my last post, Japan’s mobile phone telecommunications provider, NTT Docomo, not long ago aired their new TV commercial, featuring Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s Tetsujin 28 (Gigantor in English).
Basically, the main attraction behind this is to grant the computer users the ability to gain remote control on any movable vehicles or devices using NT Docomo’s wireless data communications adaptor (via USB port).
And when they mean any, they literally do mean ANY.
And what better way to give their latest telecommunication gadgets the ultimate test is to use an 18-foot giant robot as the prime example to show off its power capabilities.
After reviewing their website, I had a quick browse. By passing all their nifty Flash player presentations (just like any other ordinary company websites’ that wish to show off their media content) explaining about their latest telecommunications invention, I found several downloadable wallpaper images of the Tetsujin 28 (select link 05 on the main page).
These images are 1024 x 768. There are larger ones as well you can try ie 1280 x 1024 and 1680 x 1050, if you have a bigger LCD screen with bigger resolutions. So those are sure nice to have.
There’s also this wicked screensaver you load onto your computer once downloaded (which I downloaded and tested it). And what it shows you is the computer prompt screen that loads some OS code and after a few seconds, you’ll see number of blueprint images of Tetsujin 28 appearing on the right half of the screen.
For a telecommunications provider to come up with a design like this and little or no relation to Japan’s anime industry, they sure deserve the big pin-ups for great media works such as these. Good on them for making such effort!
