Tokyo’s Iconic Life-Size Unicorn Gundam Bids Farewell After Nearly Nine Years
The life-size Unicorn Gundam statue at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, a shopping complex in the Odaiba district of Koto Ward, Tokyo, ended its nearly nine-year run on Monday.
Tokyo's iconic life-size Unicorn Gundam statue bid farewell after nearly nine years of standing tall in the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza. The massive figure, measuring around 20 meters in height and weighing 49 tons, drew crowds of visitors from Japan and around the world. Modeled after the robot from the anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn," the statue faithfully replicated the original design, including intricate details and a special performance that involved physical transformations and glowing red parts in time with music.
While many appreciated the statue's presence, one visitor expressed sadness at its departure, stating that they and their family had come to see it many times. The employee, visiting from Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, thanked the organizers for their efforts.
