The much loved Real Grade 1/1 scale Gundam has almost been fully resurrected in its new home next to Shizuoka station. Over at Japan Probe they’ve managed to nab a nice video of the almost finished behemoth. What’s interesting now is that the beam sabre is present in the right hand of the mobile suit, something that will act as a bright pink light fixture in the oncoming months. Not to miss a trick, Bandai are booting a new model kit line at 1/144 scale with the same moniker as this beastie. The new “Real Grade” kits will sport much of the gimmicks of their larger Master and Perfect Grade brethren, with a fully poseable endoskeleton being amongst them. One of the first of these is naturally the RX-78-2 Gundam with the same markings as its full size brother. Anyway, enjoy the video below and remember that the full size Gundam is open to the public again on July 24th.
