Japan has been loving the Gundam animes series for 30 years, and in June, toy maker Bandai erected a 60-foot, moving Gundam robot statue in Odaiba, a futuristic island in Tokyo bay (we reported several times).

The company claims the Odaiba-Gundam has been viewed by millions of people and says the future fate of the statue is still to be decided upon. Deconstructing the big mech will take several days. Gundam will likely lose his head first (around the 10th).
