Life-Size Gundam Bust Now Has a Cockpit You Can Enter

A life-size Gundam bust at the Gundam Front Tokyo entertainment mini-park now has a cockpit that visitors can enter. The 1/1-scale bust of Strike Freedom Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny anime is already on display at the complex on Tokyo's Odaiba island, but the staff have installed a new cockpit inside. Starting September 29, the complex offers a Shot-G service — 3D and 2D photos of the visitors inside the cockpit.

Gundam Front Tokyo is located in the Diver City Tokyo complex, where the full-length, life-size statue of the first Gundam anime's RX-78-2 Gundam now stands outside. A different life-size topiary bust of RX-78-2 Gundam also stands outside Diver City Tokyo from September 29 to October 28 to celebrate the "29th National Urban Greenery Fair Tokyo" event.

Mainichi Shimbun's Mantan Web site posted more photographs of the new Strike Freedom Gundam cockpit online.
