You’d need a Christmas holiday to complete this cardboard Gundam

There are many ways to enjoy Gundam. You can sit back and watch the countless anime series depicting the giant robots, play the latest Gundam game, or go out and buy some of the merchandise. If you want to get a bit more involved you can buy the model kits, construct and paint them. Still not enough for you? Then how about creating your very own large-scale Gundam out of cardboard?

We don’t believe there are any instructions for creating the figure you see below. It just takes an intimate knowledge of the mech, a lot of cardboard, a very sharp knife, and a lot of time. I bet this took a few solid days to plan, then there’s the cutting time, and finally the glueing. It’s got to be a few weeks worth of work.

The end result is truly epic, and the creator should be commended for getting this so perfect. The two-color cardboard scheme really works and you don’t need to add color. Although, if you did, and did it well, you could end up with something looking even better. I’m not sure you can get the metallic paint effect on cardboard easily, though.

'Gundam' in China park causes fresh copyright stir

A Chinese amusement park faces the allegation that a landmark statue it erected for the Christmas season is a copy of the Gundam combat robot from the Japanese anime series.

Sotsu Co, the Tokyo company managing the copyright of the sci-fi creation, which is also popular in China, said it has started looking into the origin of the golden statue at the Floraland park in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. The park’s operator claims the design was original.

The statue in question is about 15 meters tall and its face and equipment designs are similar to the original Gundam. In Japan, 18-meter-tall ‘‘life-size’’ statues of the character have been erected in Tokyo and Shizuoka, drawing many fans and tourists last year and this year.

China deploys knockoff Gundam statue

China has overtaken Japan as the number two economy, but that hasn't stopped the country's bootleg masters from erecting their own version of the famed giant Gundam robot statue.

Located in the Sichuan provence, the statue will reportedly be part of a new Chinese theme park. Although the height is said to be a bit shorter than the original Japanese version, the bold off-brand orange color and sheer audacity of the construct could be worth a visit to the super playground.
