Toy Story can suck it. The Japanese didn’t need computer animation to bring this toy to life. Pictured above, a lifesize Gundam robot in Tokyo stands at a gawk-worthy 59-feet tall. The robot looks even more impressive when it lights up at night (pic and video below the jump). Now all they have to do is charge for rides on it — after hiring some top-notch lawyers, of course. More pics and video at Zack Sheppard’s Flickr blog.
