Odaiba Report for Gundam Fan

Are you a fan of Gundam? Then you must visit Odaiba!

Life-Sized Gundam Statue

The life-sized statue of Unicorn Gundam will be the best place to take a photo. It is placed at the south side of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Odaiba. This statue started to be on display from September 24, 2017. The RX-78-2 Gundam statue was displayed at the same place until then.

About the Life-Sized RX-78-2 Gundam

After the new Unicorn Gundam display started, we have no way to see the life-sized RX-78-2 Gundam. Although, the CEO of BANDAI NAMCO Holdings, Mitsuaki Taguchi said that he is thinking of a new plan to show the Gundam statue in a new style and in new way. So, there might be a chance to see the Life-Sized RX-78-2 Gundam someday.

Personally Recommended Item

When I was looking around the shop, I found a cool item using beam sable as a motif!

1.Beam Sable Umbrella

The handle is shaped like beam sable and the color is pink which is same as the beams color!

There is also a portable umbrella type.

Price

Beam Sable Umbrella: 1852 yen ((including tax)

Beam Sable Folding Umbrella: 2808 yen (including tax)

2. Beam Sable Chopstick

If you feel the umbrellas are too big to bring it back to your home, how about a chopstick?

Price: 1080 yen (including tax)

You can get these items only at the Odaiba Gundam café.
