​Looks like *Evangelion* wants into the giant robot statue game -- there's
going to be a life-size Eva Unit constructed at the base of Mount Fuji.
Unfortunately... well, I'll just let ANN tell
it
:

Japan's Fuji-Q HighLand amusement park has
announcedon
Wednesday that it will open a new pavilion called Evangelion: World -
Life-Size EVA-01 Construction Project" on July 23. The pavilion will house
the world's first life-size recreation of the scene where the Evangelion
anime's main character Shinji Ikari encounters the Eva-01 unit for the first
time. The recreation will have a mockup of the Evangelion unit from the bust
up.

The pavilion will also have a life-size cockpit of an Evangelion unit (from
where visitors can pay to have their photos taken), a life-size figure of
the character Kaworu Nagisa, a video corner, a museum, a studio gallery for
taking photographs, and a shop. Fuji-Q HighLand's website will present the
first interim report of the pavilion's 150-million-yen (about US$1.6
million) construction on May 26.

Actually, the plan is to build the entirety of Unit-01, but the Fuji-Q
Highland Amusement Park figures the construction workers will only finish
the shoulders up before they mentally break down, hide in the porta-potties
crying for a few hours, then run away while muttering to themselves "I
mustn't run away." I imagine that's a pretty good guess.

I'd love to see it, but they can keep the massive angst. Haven't they done
something similar to this before, tossing up a giant bot in the middle of
the way for all to gawk at?

There was another park that was never built that had a 20ft tall Voltron
statue out front. The statue is still there.

robots , run
for your 
life!,
south 
korea,
uh-oh

If you thought the 59-foot Gundam
statuein
Japan was
large ,
boy were you wrong. Because South Korea is erecting a massive 364-foot
statue (twice as large as the Statue of Liberty) of Robot Taekwon V (aka
Voltar the Invincible). Scared? It gets worse. You see, the
statueis
being built for a new amusement
park 
called
*Robot Land*. Geez, talk about scarring your children for life. This is
worse than coming downstairs on Christmas hoping for a Nintendo, only to
find your mom gangbanging the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny underneath the
tree. Nobody even ate the cookies!

giant robot taekwon v statue will be six times as large as giant gundam
statue[technabob]


This is another large statue that is just weird.
