So you've seen a lot of footage of Japan's “life-size Gundam” in Odaiba now. But how much have you seen of the 18-meter-tall “life-size” Gigantor (or Tetsujin-28) statue in Kobe?
It's probably not entirely fair to compare the projects, since the Kobe statue-- in commemoration of the city's revival after the 1995 earthquake –is a permanent fixture, and I believe one that won't have any flashy lights or other effects going on, while the Gundam, of course, is going to be short-lived but moves and lights up.

Which would you rather go see?
