Fans of Gundam, get ready. A 65-foot-tall Gundam robot is set to be installed at Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport in Fukuoka, Japan, and will be ready by early 2022.
Aside from shopping, entertainment, and restaurants to visit, customers to the brand-new mall will get to see a life-size Gundam robot in person.
The 1:1 scale replica is of RX-93 v Gundam, otherwise known was Nu Gundam, the star of the franchise’s first movie all the way back in 1988.
According to Time Out Tokyo, this will also be the largest-ever Gundam installation ever.
It will surpass the Unicorn Gundam in Tokyo (64 ft), the RX-78-2 Gundam in Yokohama (59 ft), and the ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam in Shanghai (59.1 ft).
Fans can also look forward to a Gundam Park speciality shop and mini museum to grab exclusive souvenirs.
