"projektchaos:  gamefreaksnz:  Japan's giant Gundam statue returns But this time, Gundam will be armed with a gigantic ""beam saber"" (in 1:1  scale, as the 18m statue itself). Just like in the eponymous anime  series, he will hold the saber, which will glow during the night, in his  right hand. The city of Shizuoka (some 125 miles west of Tokyo) announced it plans  to re-erect the statue in July this year. And now it has come to light  that it will  really happen [JP] (on the 24th of July, Gundam's 30th birthday, to  be more exact). Shizuoka is the city where most of the Gundam plastic  models come from. [CrunchGear]  About time…  My brother will definitely LOVE this! :3"
