It's alive! Or just finished, at least. The 59-foot robot for "Tetsujin 28" in Japan is finally complete, and recently had its opening ceremony in Kobe's Wakamatsu Park. The robot was erected in honor of Mitsuteru Yokoyama's manga and anime work as well as the city's reconstruction following a 1995 earthquake. The "life-size" robot weighs 50 tons, and unlike the temporary "Gundam" statue (now gone), this one will be there forever -- at least until Gojira comes back into town.
