Gaming news site Kotaku reports that the big and life sized "Real Grade Gundam" is making a comeback! The large 1:1 model of the mobile suit was originally erected on Odaiba in Tokyo at September last year to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of Gundam, and now it's set to make its debut once again today in front of JR Higashi Shizuoka Station, where it will stand in display until sometime in January 2011. The grounds were even blessed by Shinto priests, making it quite the landmark to visit! Any mecha or Gundam fan would definitely not want to miss this spectacular sight, and if your plans to visit the land of the Rising Sun fall within anytime this year, this would make a perfect location to note on your map and take a quick detour to!
