This giant 35-ton, 18-meter badass Gundam is to be unveiled in Odaiba, Tokyo on July 11 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Gundam Moblie Suit robot franchise. It will be open to the public (for free) until August 31.

All you robot fans need to travel to Odaiba and pay your respects.

As of now it can move, or at least the head does. In the last couple of days technicians working on the statue have helped to make the head rotate back and forth, and nod up and down, as crowds of onlookers watch speechlessly.

One can only speculate on whether the head movement will be it, or if there will be more surprises in store as the official public opening date approaches.

Here’s a video of some head movement.
