Tokyo's life-size Gundam statue will bid farewell with a final ceremony on August 29, streaming live online for those unable to attend in person. Since September 2017, the 1:1-scale replica of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam has stood in Odaiba's Diver City plaza. However, following the announcement in May, the statue's tenure in the city will end at the conclusion of August.
The 19.7-meter (64.6-foot) Gundam will be removed on August 31, with dismantling set to begin on September 1. Throughout its final days, the statue will display video and light shows every half hour between 7 and 9:30 p.m. Additionally, a new "Unicorn Gundam Statue-Beyond Possibility" program will play at 8 p.m. from now until August 31.
Commemorative T-shirts and mugs from the nearby Strict-G Gundam fashion shop will be sold starting August 29, with the option to order online through Premium Bandai. While the statue's visibility on its last day remains unclear, the official Gundam website still lists a light/video show at 9:30 p.m. on August 31.
