GIANT WALKING ROBOT GUNDAM Full-Scale Moving Statue in Japan I Yokohama Japan

Gundam Factory Yokohama is an amusement center themed after the Gundam franchise. Located at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama, Japan, is the home of the moving life-sized RX-78F00 Gundam. It officially opened on December 19, 2020
An 18-meter kinetic statue of Gundam, a famous anime robot, was revealed to the public at the Gundam Factory Yokohama complex southwest of Tokyo on Saturday.
Hundreds of people lined up outside the complex to see the giant robot before the opening at 10 a.m. Some fans had face masks emblazoned with pictures of Gundam, others dressed as their favorite characters from the anime series, such as Char Aznable.
Japanese toymaker Bandai Namco Holdings is behind the construction of the giant moving statue and is hosting performances at the newly opened attraction. Visitors can view the robot from observation decks 15 meters to 18 meters off the ground for a close-up view of the fictional automaton's head and body.
In addition to the exhibition, the complex hosts Gundam-Lab, where visitors can learn how the kinetic statue works. There is also an attraction that lets people enjoy a "live" operator's-eye view of Gundam using 5G technology. The souvenir shop sells exclusive merchandise and there is a Gundam-themed cafe.

Admission is 1,650 yen ($16) for people 13 and older. Tickets to the observation deck cost an additional 3,300 yen.
The full-scale "Gundam taught me that the shape of the human body is more wonderful than ever," said Yoshiyuki Tomino, director of the anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam," who is considered the "father of Gundam," at an opening ceremony Friday evening. "This is because this size of humanoids and the color of toys show great things."
The animated TV series, "Mobile Suit Gundam," also known as "First Gundam," originally aired in Japan in 1979. It tells the story of Amuro Ray, who pilots the robot from which the series takes its name, as he struggles and grows through life-or-death battles.
