Life-Sized Unicorn Gundam Statue

The Life-Sized Unicorn Gundam Statue will be in the Rinkai Fukutoshin (Tokyo Water Front) area. Its transformation from Unicorn Mode to Destroy Mode will be recreated as accurately as possible during its staging at night. The fact that you can see a realistic statue through gimmicks such as the opening and closing of its horn, changing head modes, and the expansion of its shoulder, waist, and knee parts is its greatest feature. New decals by mechanic designer Hajime Katoki have also been added.

A video collaboration that will be projected on the wall with the statue is scheduled to be conducted by the popular production company Wall-G following its grand opening.
Furthermore, the GUNDAM TRAILER SHOP, a trailer-type shop that will carry products related to Gundam, will open the same day at Festival Plaza.

■ Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is a 2010 anime created by SUNRISE INC. based on the novel of the same name by author Harutoshi Fukui as a new chapter of a story set in the Universal Century timeline following Mobile Suit Gundam.
Set three years after Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, the story depicts the protagonist Banagher Links as he encounters the pure-white mobile suit Unicorn Gundam and weathers through the battle between the Earth Federation Forces and the remnant of Neo Zeon, “The Sleeves.”

With a deep story, charming characters, and mechanic designs by Mr. Hajime Katoki, the series was universally accepted by Gundam fans. It became a big hit that exceeded a cumulative total of 3 million novels sold, 1.9 million sales in Blu-ray and DVDs, and a total of 1 million views through paid streaming.
