The prime attraction of the new Gundam Factory Yokohama facility, the statue is set to be even more amazing than its predecessor in Tokyo, because it’s going to move!
No replacement month/date has been set, although Gundam Factory says it hopes to be able to open sometime before the end of the year.
Though things are slowly starting to get back to normal in Japan, the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are going to linger at least throughout the summer.
So sadly, that theory that the life-size Gundam would sweep away the threat of plague like a great buddha statue of old didn’t pan out.
