It has been officially announced, the Giant RX-78 GundamStatue/Model will make a comeback this year, but this time it will be located in Shizuoka City, 125 miles west of Tokyo. A Bandai spokesperson said Gundam will come to life once more on June, at the East Higashi-Shizuoka Station near the local Bandai factory in which there is a guided tour (with previous reservation) that could complete a touristic itinerary.
Originally this incredible real scale statue was erected in Tokyo's artificial island Odaiba, to commemorate the 30th aniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam. The statue was dismantled last September, but it was so successful (4 million visitors approximately) that the people from Bandai decided to bring it back to life again
