Gundam Tree to Rise in Akihabara
And if you are looking for more Gundam Statues in Japan (1/1 scale Gundam?), there will be another type of Gundam “attraction” this coming Thursday, December 3 at Akihabara.
A “Gundam Tree” made of over 60 plastic models from the robot anime franchise will be erected in the Tokyo otaku shopping district of Akihabara on December 3.
The Gundam Tree, will stand about 5 meters tall. It will also mark the release of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam Next Plus action game for the PSP on the same day.
The tree will be illuminated in Gundam’s signature colors of red, blue and white. Tohru Furuya, the voice actor of the first Gundam anime’s main character, Amuro Ray will man the switch to light up the tree on December 3.
First 100 folks who head down to Akiba will get a chance to take a photograph with Furuya when they purchase the PSP game!
Wow, what a way to promote the upcoming Gundam game. Also, since Christmas is around the corner, this can’t have been a better way to promote the Gundam game XD.

I hope we get some pictures of the “Gundam Tree” when it goes up. It sounds cool.

Of course – nothing like smart marketing tactics to reap the rewards of greater sales. Not to mention, GvG Next Plus will be awesome (must wait for my order to come in > <) !

@ ExcaliburStrike: Don’t look down on the Gundam. They milk our monies!
