1:1 scale RG right here


redditorgup

With included E.R.S (early real grade syndrome)


PyrusZodiac

These are resin kits meant to stand like statues! Not cool scale model robots that can mimic action poses done in the shows!


Thebarakz21

Lmao what I was thinking too


Rathgood

So it’s a Gundam frame now.

epicdinos

I swear japan gunna make irl physco frame and just announce a fully functional nu/unicorn gundam


Rajang82

Sheesh. It's like you want to summon the Outer God to this world or something.


Rajang82

Because seeing Barbatos moves like animatronics are cursed. The thing about Iron Blooded Orphan's Gundam Frame is about how human-like their movement is.


xwrecker

Is it really that bad?


Rajang82

Not at all. Grandpa moves like regular mobile suits, so it's easier to make a moving statue with it.. Fast, but still robot like. Its not until MK-II we have mobile suits moves like a person.


GarrettInk

A man can dream though...

this is actually true

Put a new armor, and these baby are good as new.

what have you done?! you've summoned the edgelords!!


MCCP630

Says the one with a Heero profile picture.


lifeless_or_loveless

he was faithful to his goal, plus hr had an actually good show


MCCP630

He had an actually good show? Wait are we talking about Wing here?


lifeless_or_loveless

yeah....?


Polkadot_Girl

As sad as I am to know I'll never get to see it IRL, i gotta say that inner frame looks cool as hell. Does anyone know if any of the model kits for the RX-78-F00 have that inner frame?


strangerdanger77

The only thing that had the frame is the $1000 Chogokin dx set. You could take the armor off of it https://preview.redd.it/6n1q7uyy5rvc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efe48c4af2dca3385fa1ee081b12ee0cb19ad0d1


Simple_Intern_7682

That is actually awesome as fuck.


OrphanAxis

Looking up the 1/100 on Dalong, not really close besides just having that typical inner frame look. You'd probably find something more like it on different RX 78. It kinda reminds me of the pre-built frame from early RG models.


GomenNaWhy

I really wish I could seen it in person


Just1ncase4658

I have. Kinda just was strolling around and came across it. Dude at the entrance was my biggest fan ever. Glad I still have the pictures.


GomenNaWhy

That's awesome!

Ohnoherewego13

That inner frame looks so cool. I know it's just being dismantled and moved, but I always like to imagine RX-78 is being deployed. Ah well, silly, but there you go.


JustSomeWeirdGuy2000

1:1 Gundam isn't even a Master Grade. That's a Full Mechanics frame.


troller69420

*Oh the irony*


tomthemoth

Can’t believe the went to the trouble to panel line the frame…


MonocledMonotremes

And the weathering is so freaking realistic. That's the mark of a true craftsman. Attention to details that nobody might ever see.


Amigo1048

I never realized it actually had a semi “functional” cockpit Also a part of me feels like they could’ve done a RG or MG RX-78F00 with a similar inner frame to this


LuracCase

I wouldn't call it fully functional, it was more so just a place to sit. It was never occupied during the shows, obviously.


Amigo1048

Yeah I was already kinda aware of that; my fault for not wording it properly mb


HuckleberryDeep8493

https://youtu.be/wPNCj5AfHWY?si=u27Pz9PikKdegizy Around 1:34 the cockpit opens.


Mechaman_54

There's no way they just permantly scrap it right?


Katamed

I believe they’re relocating it. So they gotta take it apart and put it back together at the new location.


Akizayoi061

Where is the new location actually.


Spope2787

Nothing has been announced. Just people speculating. Most compelling thing I've kind of heard is Osaka, in part because of the world's fair in 2025.


RnRtdWrld

Is there a gundam base or something in Kyoto? I think it might be there.


DarthMobi

It certainly won't be Kyoto the Gundam Base there is tiny compared to diver city, and there is no room for even a normal gundam statue outside the shopping mall it's part of.


TokyoNeckbeard

Considering how often it would malfunction and just simply not work in the later days of its run (the second to last day it was open it didn’t work at all) I really doubt it. This thing was built to be temporary and they kept it going for much longer than expected. Saying goodbye is okay.


primalmaximus

Yeah, wasn't the platform it was located on starting to crumble due to the weight of the Gundam?


Arxfiend

Wouldn't surprise me. However maintainance is probably also just really expensive. It's right against the ocean, and saltwater is HORRIBLE for metal.


ufo_moo0079

Where?


Lazzyman64

The parts will definitely be put into storage. You don’t make something like a 1/1 Gundam and just scrap it when you’re done with it. It remains to be seen if they’ll rebuild it somewhere else. I imagine they’ll want to at least take the opportunity improve on some things if they decide to put it back together.

What does the Chinese government have to do with this?

Ignore that I didn't pay enough attention And thought this was about the Freedom in China.

Only with a gel ink pen lmao j/k


Anathemautomaton

This really highlights how little room there would be for a pilot IRL.

Probably still far more than a fighter jet or even a modern tank if you fully crew it

Fans of frames must be lit.


ahintoflime

Ripasal

Is that a cockpit frame?


strangerdanger77

Yes


squirl_centurion

This really sucks, however as an engineer this is the coolest thing. The picture shows exactly how it works which is so cool.


Nocturnalux

Will live forever in our hearts.

The Unicorn gundam at diver city is still worth seeing


strangerdanger77

It is but it pales in comparison


Lafitte_1812

Ah, so it's a master grade


Creco_Eros

Rg 1/1 scale looking interesting

I can't wait until the production models are available.

ninetailed_ninja13

On the bright side its not being destroyed its just being moved as well as the store and museum


Retrotronics

The gotta release the inner frame as its own kit


strugglingtosave

All PG frames gonna go back to this


nooonmoon

This makes me uncomfortable for some reason. Like I'm seeing something I'm not supposed to.


AzazelBear

Are they taking it down? What happened?


TorokFremen

It was always supposed to be a temporary attraction, due to salt water and location iirc


AzazelBear

It's so sad I wanted to see it when I traveled to Japan 🥺😭


DannyLiu27

Maintenance i think


Kirjava444

No, they're taking it down, it was temporary. Maybe it will move somewhere else eventually but they haven't announced anything so far


MJMvideosYT

You could say the same things about my dreams.


J1suu

ultrawall006

Is that the maintenance entrance on the chest?


strangerdanger77

No, cockpit.


Omnimon11

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”


IrgyValeRa

My only regret in life is that I never got to see this thing in person :')


NoShip7699

Ay IBO !!!! LESS GOOO. Even when it's getting dismantled it's giving gundam vibes. It's sad watching it go 😢


Arxfiend

Seeing all these pictures of it being disassembled is surreal. I saw it in February, and it was just amazing how large it looked in real life that I don't think any picture could have done it justice without having crossed over the fencing to get closer.


Terereera

gundam frame huh? What if we put Barbatos instead?


boringNerd

Glad I managed to visit Gundam Factory this March before it closed for good. This really hits hard.


lRevenantHD

Now it looks like it was being used to take over the earth kingdom


Nobodyinpartic3

The real grade frame was inside every one of us all along.

GundamIBO_Gunpla

Huh. I did not think it would be such a simple mechanism for movement. Making an actual gundam may not be as much of an arduous journey as I thought...


IC2Flier

No, the physics still don't work out.


GundamIBO_Gunpla

Have you forgotten? Physics can be weird by itself already!


bytethesquirrel

The problem is balancing it.


Equivalent_Form_3923

The problem is making a frame that dosent crumple under its own weight


GundamIBO_Gunpla

It is very much possible to do so with a metal that has a combination of the property of spring steel and the density or strength of carbon hardened/carbon steel. If a material like that can be obtained, it may be possible. Either that or recreating metal from meteorites.


GundamIBO_Gunpla

Use a systematical gyro followed with ground detection and gravitational detecting system to to apply a knowledge on the current point it needs to be, then apply human-like progamming so that it does such human-like actions to continue and try to remain standing up


-CynicRoot-

Easier said than done. On a smaller scale, Boston Dynamic probably has it down but on a gundam scale, we are decades off.


GundamIBO_Gunpla

Yeah, but not a century tho


Hillbilly_Historian

Not_as_witty_as_u

In here from all, what are we looking at?


Legendary_Hi-Nu

The inner frame for the life size Gundam they just recently took down


Not_as_witty_as_u

Why/where was it?


PmTills

Due to upkeep on it they are taking it down, it was located at the Gundam Base in Yokohama.

owo1215

alright, I'd actually buy a model kit of this because it looks kinda sick


Gotchapawn

im always been amazed that they built it like a gunpla 😅.

Well we can do that so why not just use it to build a gundam🧍(Idk if it’s unpractical)


BossGavin_V

I want to cry. That had hit me real hard.


OblivionArts

Surprised they're dismantling it at all


losersalwayswin

I really enjoyed Yokohama. Don’t know if I would have visited if it weren’t for the statue. Hope It can go up some where else. It’d be sick if it ended up In the US
