Japan finally completes its gigantic Gigantor statue (video)
Posted on October 6, 2009 | No Comments
Move over, Gundam, your time has passed. It's now Gigantor's turn to protect Japan from alien intruders. Based on the giant robot from the anime that was first aired in the 1960s in Japan, the city of Kobe in central Japan is now the proud home of a 18m high statue of the Tetsujin 28 (Iron Man 28), which is the robot’s name in Japan.
