With Japan's ultra popular Gundam Franchise turning 30, what better way to celebrate than to build a 1:1 scale replica of one of the originals? Lets just say Japan is very dedicated to this kind of thing.
Apparently it doesn't stop there either, Bandai Namco has to make sure EVERY Japanese citizen is aware that Gundam is turning 30. That's why they also through a giant Gundam in the middle of Japan's Playstation Home. That's right, Japan's central plaza in PS Home now comes with a temporary giant Gundam model that just stands their looking pretty while it gives fanboys boners from the comfort of their own homes.
Having a Gundam fetish, a Japanese PSN account and access to Japans Playstation Home, I visited Japans Home and fell into awe. W
hile the only interaction with the Gundam is standing next to it, dancing next to it, and running around/under it, you can also access a camera mode that allows you to move it around the Gundam. The camera allows you to get nice and close to look at the super fine details which is really cool because the detail on the model is phenomenal.
If I had to complain about something it's probably the lack of a picture taking option. While this is usually the last thing you would think Home needs, for something as cool as a limited time giant robot, you would think being able to take pictures would be an option. While personally I would rather see a real 1:1 Gundam in Japan or maybe even a functional Gundam's I can settle with this Home version. I definitely recommend checking it out if you can, it's just really cool!
