Life-sized Tesujin 28-Go Almost Finished!

Just waiting for it’s head.


 
 

 
 
Gigazine has taken some pictures of the Tesujin 28-Go life-sized statue being built in Kobe. This statue is part of the “Kobe Tetsujin Project”, a plan to help rejuvenate Kobe after the crippling earthquake of 1995; and there is no better way to rejuvenate a city than building a giant robot within it. They found this statue in mid-construction during the “Sangokushi Festival” that took place between August 22 and 23; though happening on this was no random event, it was fate.

Even though this still needs head (oh grow up), it should be finished some time in September. When finished, this super robot will do battle with the Gundam in Tokyo, or at least that’s my assumption. It’s looking great so far, but I would really like to see it with a head. I hope building statues to giant robots becomes a trend in Japan; this is a good time to be alive for all of us mecha fans.

Sorry Gigantor/Tetsujin 28, you're not going to beat out Gundam.

I agree. The Gundam will never be defeated by the likes of this guy!
