So it's a statue eh?

But I'm taking bets, when North Korea fires their shit, this will no longer be a statue that we all think it is. =)

Oh, I don't want to post (this) in the robot thread, I think it belongs rightfully in its own thread. I don't like the other thread.

EDIT: By the way I hear Japan isn't allowed to build their own army or something, so maybe all their funding went into this? :S

In daiguard they had built a robot after an "alien like" attack, but the "aliens" never come back, so the robot was left as a statue for tourists in a sort of a diversion park, when decades after the aliens strike back its up to the employees of the park to ride it against all odds( and without training) , it included such pearls as the driver making up a makeshift rocket punch by unscrewing the joints before punching an alien dude.( some details may be hazy, been years since i saw it)

too much of a let down not to have at least upper body mobility considering they spent 9 digits on this baby( and yes that's in dollars not yen). quite something for a country in recession for the past 10 yrs.
100 mil and they're tearing it down in three months!?

Post by: TsuKasa ´・ω・｀ on June 13, 2009, 03:19:59 pm: yeah i've seen that one months ago

lol at the mazinger z it doesn't move? just wait a few years, korean college students and robo engineers are building a real moving piece but it isn't mazinger but it's kinda look like him.

edit: the korean robot name is Kakure Gaijin: Taekwon V

so it begins...
TAEKWON V vs. GUNDAM

Post by: Loona on June 20, 2009, 12:40:18 am: I am so so tempted to go there - it'll still be up when I turn 30 myself, and it might be an interesting way to commemorate the occasion.

I'm not even that much of a fan, although I liked the movies made from the original series.
