The new statue will depict the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam UC anime.
The “Gundam Front Tokyo” attraction located in the seventh floor of the DiverCity Tokyo mall will also close on April 5.
The anime studio Sunrise announced at Sunday’s closing ceremony for the life-size Gundam statue in Tokyo that a new life-size statue will debut this fall.
The current statue, which portrays the iconic RX-78-2 mobile suit piloted by protagonist Amuro Ray in the first Mobile Suit Gundam series, was unveiled at Odaiba’s Shiokaze Park in 2009, where it stood for 52 days.
