18-meter-tall statue wields new beam saber from July 24 to January 10
The 1/1-scale, 18-meter-tall statue of the title robot from the T.M. Revolution, on the eve of the public opening. The statue will be officially open to the public from Saturday, July 24, 2010 to January 10, 2011.
The Gigazine website posted a report before the ceremony, and then posted a report of the ceremony itself with high-definition video.
Unlike its previous stay at Tokyo's Odaiba Island, the statue now sports a beam saber in its right hand. The Gundam now stands in front of Japan Railway's Higashi-Shizuoka Station.
Update: More background information added.
