The Gundam in question is the RX-78-2 Gundam, the iconic mecha from the first series. The unit will be constructed in modular parts to enable mobility to be maintained, with a steel frame and fibre-reinforced-plastic exterior. Fifty points on the Gundam statue will emit light, and mist will shoot out of 14 different points on the statue. The 1/1 scale Gundam boasts a moveable head and a continuous stream of oh-man-this-is-so-damn-cool. The head will be able to move up and down and from left to right. 50 lights installed in the unit will add to the effect, along with smoke generators.
A 1/30th scale model of the model was unveiled:
Plans were announced for a short movie, as well as a less specific commitment to making a new series under the concept of "Always Beginning".
Dope as always....Japan got creative and constructed a giant gundam figure..
