The Life-size vGundam Statue Will Be Made into Chogokin and ROBOT SPIRITS Products!
They’re currently being designed!
The Life-size vGundam Statue that’s currently being built at Lalaport Fukuoka, a facility scheduled to open on Monday, April 25th, will be made into products by the figure brand Chogokin and the Tamashii Nations series ROBOT SPIRITS. Look forward to more details!
The Life-size vGundam Statue (RX-93ff vGundam) is part of BANDAI NAMCO GROUP’s intergroup project, the Gundam Project. It will go on display in April along with the opening of Mitsui Shopping Park Lalaport Fukuoka, the first Lalaport in the Kyushu area. This will be the sixth life-size Gundam in history (excluding the Moving Gundam) and the first in western Japan.
The vGundam made its appearance in the Gundam series’ first original movie, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, and remains popular both in and outside Japan. Yoshiyuki Tomino, the director of that series, also supervised the creation of the vGundam statue. The new design of the RX-93ff vGundam makes it stand at a height of 24.8m, making it the tallest of all the life-size Gundams to date.

[Characteristics]
The design is based on the RX-93v Gundam that appeared in the Gundam series’ first original movie, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, which was released in 1988.
The vGundam that appears in that movie has a stylish design and a dramatic affinity with its pilot character, so it’s popular both in and outside Japan.
The RX-93ff vGundam is equipped with a new Long Range Fin Funnel. It was supervised by the general director of the Gundam series, Yoshiyuki Tomino, and it has highly saturated tricolor markings.
