Gundam Statue in Japan











A 3m tall bronze statue have been erected outside Kami-igusa station on Seibu-Shinjuku Line. Unveiled on 23 March 2008, the statue took 2 years to complete and cost a whooping 20 million yen.










It was unclear what is the significance of the statue, but source from another website suggests this:
"Gundam is most famous for the loyalty it displayed years ago, having been left at Kamiigusa station by its pilot, bound for war but sadly never returning. The mecha waited at the station every day for its master's face, becoming a friendly sight to commuters, before wearing down its main power core after 3,000 short years."
