The_Ghan Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Er .... it's a bit hard to describe ... so I'll just paste the picture ... If it's real Mrs_Ghan want to see in in October. Can anyone tell us where? Cheers The_Ghan 1 Link to comment
linkey Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 If it's real it would be on the Sobu line by the indication of the train on the bridge. Link to comment
Kitayama Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Fake is my guess... http://superpunch.blogspot.se/2009/03/giant-anime-girl-statue-straddling.html Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It's a trap. With that said, there are a dozen variations (different characters) of this demotivation poster floating around the web over the past five or so years. Needless to say, it is clearly a fake. 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I kind of figured it was an Aaron at photoshop... The figure even looked a bit like him in cosplay! Jeff Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'll check with my Japanese contacts ... would be fun to model though, wouldn't it? Cheers The_Ghan Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The tell is something that size would be inflatable and it obviously was not. Also safety would not let them put something over the tracks like this for an ad. Jeff Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 My guess is it's fake too.. How would the structure of the Doll be supported by, and yet oh so close to that high voltage electric-supplying overhead cable? Guess the Japanese, being very safety conscious people, wouldn't dare risk the safety of a huge electric fault resulting in a major train pile up and a burnt up giant doll... Also, would cause too much traffic pile up, with cars stopping at *you know where* and taking photos.... Link to comment

The_Ghan Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm crushed !!! But I'm going to see the Gundam ... Mrs_Ghan just said so !!! Cheers The_Ghan 1 Link to comment
Dani Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Don't worry Ghan, you can always stop in Barcelona and I will show you our 1:1 scale Mazinger Z. It's also a good trip until there to ride the bike: It's a very funny history why we have a real size Mazinger Z... someone was constructing a high standing urbanization, and he thought it would be nice to have a park dedicated to Mazinger Z. In that age Mazinger Z was in the main Spanish TV Channel and all kids were crazy for it. And before constructing houses, roads, the park fences or any other needed structures, that guy constructed the Mazinger. But he ran out of founds very quickly.... so now we have a 1:1 scale Mazinger Z in the middle of a forest!!!!!!! Cheers, Dani. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Dani, LOL great story and figure! for once a developer left something good behind after going under. usually they take all sorts of other folks down with them and leave a mess! makes for a wonderful weird destination i bet! jeff Link to comment
Tecchan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 There's also the Tetsujin in Kobe if you're into big robots! This one you can see it from the train. JR Line if I'm correct. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 AAARRRGGGG! another one to model! too cool, missed this one. revotech even has one about the right size that is posable! http://www.infinitehollywood.com/2010/03/revoltech-tetsujin-28-figure-review.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revoltech-043-43-Ironman-Tetsujin-28-Action-Figure-Kaiyodo-/110912128307?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item19d2e0c533#ht_3375wt_774 just had to order one! perhaps this would be the better one to have under construction than the gundam with all the scaffolding around it and the head being delivered to be lifted on by crane! cheers jeff Link to comment
The_Ghan Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 In 500 years time some idiotic archiologist is going to claim that the Japanese were building "statues to honour the Gods". Cheers The_Ghan 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 LOL i wonder what they will think of a video of the macy's day parade?! jeff Link to comment
