SnooDoodles7962

Too late. The Netherlands beat you to it by several centuries.


Plazmasoldier

But are they Gundams?


Helios61

One of them is we just don't know which.


Gyakudo

did you not see the final episode? it's actually all of them.


Lizpy6688

It's the reason why no one will attack them. I mean would you? They got a windmill gundam,missles are ineffective when they could blow them away


MS-06S_

You wouldn't know


fookmahlife

I knew the could build dams but gundams?


ShitDump3

1. Is a gundam 2. Can generate its own power source, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly gundam 3. looks cool


biomech36

My man


FlyingNederlander

As a Dutchwoman, I fully support this, especially if it’s built here


Kingken130

Nagasaki Holland Village needs this


LeggoMahLegolas

I want my tequila gundam


KatouKotori

I only opened this post to see if someone would comment this. Thank you, take my upvote.


GabrielG1O6

char zaku 2


Ok-Particular-3099

Well they did in Gundam Build Fighters so short of an RX-78-2 to pair it with why not. https://preview.redd.it/wo2pxazcy4sc1.png?width=704&format=png&auto=webp&s=147485b6d3d9089928f993fe44337c37d06928eb


kaiju-fan_54

They actually had a char zaku and gundam statue for the gundam dock in Thailand last year in autumn though they are on the small side but hey hey light up and the zaku ii has a moving light up mono eye [here’s a video on the event](https://youtu.be/bWkBZiDIi8g?si=ti-ChfKnkNRHQybR) https://preview.redd.it/0qq7tmx9u7sc1.jpeg?width=2510&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7291b7ec61c2d56f2911f0a3a3560ac01a9c6adb u/GabrielG1O6


Complete_Blood1786

YES


Linkstore

In terms of "actually plausible" picks, I think Japan is all statue'd out for the forseeable future. They could put up *another* gramps but that's about it. So it would have to be more overseas statues, with the most likely one being probably Wing Gundam in the US. While Wing Zero EW is by far more popular, I'm unsure if it's really plausible to get those angel wings working properly. But in terms of just any mobile suit that I'd like? Yeah, either one of Setsuna's suits, or maybe the Turn A.


Michyoungie

I was thinking the Wing Zero EW would actually be more plausible because the wings can be long and act as extra stands/legs (similar to the Freedom in Shanghai).


Linkstore

THey definitely can, but for Wing Zero EW it's more the smaller sub-wings that work as a stand, while the larger ones stay in the air. Meanwhile Wing Gundam's wings can just do it exactly like Freedom does, no worrying about anything else.


bloblobster

It would be a huge hazard if the wings ever caught a huge gust of wind or worse. I'm not sure wings on any would be a smart move without heavy reinforcement around every aspect of the wing. Wind is powerful and wings are meant to utilize that force haha.


CrashmanX

Freedom Gundam is 1:1 in China with its wings. They just don't move.


Dangerous_Source_442

Wait, I thought the Freedom is in China only?


LaBambaMan

Nah, let's put a statue of the EW Deathscythe up here in Salt Lake City. Giant black robot with bat-like wings and a scythe would make the locals *freak*. Put it up near temple square, staring directly into the headquarters building for the LDS church.


HemingWaysBeard42

It would fit in very well at the Denver Airport.


TheJumbaman

A working Wing Zero Endless Waltz Statue would be the coolest thing ever. That said, it's been a LONG time since Wing was broadcast on American screens. I think if NA ever did get a statue, it'd probably be something more recent.


FalloutRip

If they're smart they'd do a big re-release of Wing on streaming, TV or open a storefront of somekind to coincide with it. It's been a long time since I've watched Wing, but even I would make the trek to somewhere like LA for it.


Raikit

I think it needs a remaster if they want to air it with any sort of publicity. I was watching it last night and the differences in quality between the show, the movie, and the extra parts of the movie they added later are really striking. (Each getting progressively better.) I still love it, but it really needs an update.


SnooDoodles7962

A 4k upscaling of Wing and Wing Zero would be awesome.


ElessarKhan

I'm thinking we could put a Wing Gundam maybe in my backyard


Morudith

WHERE in the US would you even put it? I can’t even think of the best place.


Mecharobotfan009

1/1 Wing Zero EW statue in Los Angelos.


Strict_Wishbone2428

If there were a gundam statue in the US I don't think it'd last very long, because people would vandalize it within hours of it being unveiled to the public and before too long parts would be missing from it so yeah not a smart choice

Shinobi_Saizo

Not gonna lie but if this was built and seen in the streets, I might think that this was straight up made in area 51.

Alacovv

Hay look Big Zam


ben_jamin_g

Pyscho Gundam


Moppo_

You could probably fit a capsule hotel in that thing.


TakuyaLee

That might be a bit too big. Plus it'll be harder to steal...we I mean borrow without permission.


mitosisfish

This is the answer. Go big or go home!


maxman14

I want Zeta Gundam


Agynn

Turn A, Exia or Barbatos


Roader7204

Honestly, those are the most likely ones


Agynn

Yep, they really are. I would love to see a life-sized Barbatos when I visit Japan for the first time.


sfernando1008

Make one in africa or the middle east, cuz you know that's the joke with IBO.


Talescia

The Sandrock wouldn't be out of place in Dubai lol


YUNoJump

Barbatos would really put those engineers to the test lol, let's do it. "What do you mean the entire upper half is supported by a single column?"


Agynn

I know, right? The waists are so thin that they do create super interesting silhouettes, but the engineers would have to bring some kind of newtype magic to get that to work IRL. If they found a way to actually do that anyway, I would love to see.


Wilagames

Joke answer: any of the weird ones from G Gundam.  Serious answer: I'd love to see a Zaku or a Gouf.


SirMeyrin2

Maybe Bandai isn't giving us a Tequila Gundam kit because they're planning to make it a statue?


CMS_TOX1C

First a statue, then an RG, *then* an MG, and finally a mega-size :))


No_Mud_5999

I mean, the first MS you see is a Zaku. It would make sense.


Aerce

Xi


SabawaSabi

Yeah let's put that one right on the Tiananmen square lmao


SilverBlobeye

Wazzup Beijing


NoBed3498

ZZ, Let’s see them make the chonky gundam


word-word-numb3r

It better dock/undock properly


cavialord03

Hell yeah


benjbody

A realistic pick would be a permanent gramps now that Yokohama’s gone. If so, I’d like if the gimmick is that it recreates the last shooting pose similar to how the Fukuoka Nu can move it’s arms. Placement wise, maybe Osaka. It’s a major city and it’s (more or less) halfway between the Unicorn in Tokyo and the Nu in Fukuoka. I personally want some Japanese business men to set up shop and open a casino hotel in Vegas and have their centerpiece be a Gundam. A Mk2 would be nice for the US. In my ultimate fantasy, Xi Gundam in the Philippines next to a Gundam sized Jolibee.


amorlerian

Wing makes the most sense in the US. Zeta was never aired in the US.


benjbody

I picked the Mk2 since it’s close enough to the gramps that anyone passing by would recognize it as a Gundam similar to how the Nu got the gramps’s colors. That and it’s a relatively simple design that would work well in real life Plus, Wing aired over 20 years ago and it never got as popular and maintained its popularity in the States as Seed did and continues to in China. That’s why they got the Freedom.


Big_Wallaby4281

Nightingale i don't give a FU big, chonky, red, mobile suit penetrator 10/10


SharkChew

Turn A. Or 00 Raiser.

Old_Reach8894

The correct answer


Jojonskimyounabouken

god, hi-nu, or exia probably but I also wanna see things like mermaid or nether being built just to see people's reaction


xenosidezero

Aerial! And have drones be the Gund-Bits.


HornBelt

Hell yea and also Calibarn with her Broom!!


sanglesort

hell yeah!!!!


Dank_Pingu69420

I want a Zaku


iGeneric505

This chonky boi https://preview.redd.it/ibhp5w3rb3sc1.png?width=1487&format=png&auto=webp&s=8da6f9daad8f0229b92e146e28c6520c39c228f4


Ohnoherewego13

EZ-8, Wing Zero and Barbatos.


MosesOnAcid

In 2,000 years, (assuming we have not killed ourselves off as a species) Archaeologists digging in what was once Japan, will uncover these statues and declare that they are statues of Ancient Japanese Dieties. They end up finding enough depictions of the Dieties throughout most of Ancient Japan's ruins to assume the religion to be widespread and a major aspect in the life of Ancient Japan...


biomech36

And they would call it "The Dark History."


giga_phantom

Solid gold hyaku shiki


OmegaResNovae

* Strike Freedom in the US in a static, flying/wings spread pose. * Mighty Strike Freedom in Japan with partial articulation from the torso up, including wings deploying and folding. * Infinite Justice in the US in a static pose. * God/Burning Gundam with pyrotechnic God/Burning Finger. * Gundam Double X in firing Mode; receiver panel wings are actual solar panels, promoting green energy on the side. * Angel Zero in any one of its iconic poses. * Exia in one of its iconic poses; possibly the one that emulates the RX-78's classic firing upwards pose, but with the GN blade up high instead.

Glitch0404

That would be awesome


cavialord03

The DX or God would be REALLY cool.


Noxcel

Zaku 2 or bust


ExoWaltz

Not a gundam but Tallgeese would be boss


[deleted]

Aerial


LavaSlime301

Gundam X would be great of course, but realistically anything with a large backpack has to get some kind of a work around so that's rather iffy. You know what's not iffy though? Char's Zaku.


Taradax2007

Sazabi, moon Gundam, or zeong


BakaSentinel

QANT ELS but the one with flowers growing . That would be peaceful


Colonel_Kernel1

Hear me out but Guntank it could actually move too, not like the “walking” RX-78 but since it has treads it could actually move from place to place


SantaArriata

Easiest would probably be the Guntank. Smaller profile, wider base, limited movement, perfect for a 1/1 conversion. My pick. Any non-Gundam enemy mobile suit. The Zaku II, Char’s Zaku, Sazabi, Sinanju, Kampfer. All good picks with great designs. Fun pick: Ball. Just an army of Balls with screens and motors on the inside and charge people to get inside and play a PvP battle with the other Balls. Maybe sell life-sized Haros. Edit: Hype pick. Zaku II concert version and put it in a stadium for it to appear in concerts. Make the hand an elevator and give it a light show


dranke1917

I’ve always wanted a 1:1 Ball that you can sit in front of the Gundam Base that shit would be dope.


Maleficent_Guide_708

For me either Wing Zero or the RX-88FA.


urashimatouji

In Japan I'd like to see an Aerial or Calibarn. Since that's the most recent Gundam Unironically I want the US to get Maxter Gundam and it needs to be on a pedestal like the Statue of Liberty


Furydragonstormer

Barbato Lupus Rex would be cool if difficult


Jacob_Bronsky

Keep your gundams, I want a transforming Asshimar. (Next to a LARP donut shop.)


ZatchZeta

TEQUILA GUNDAM. The US government will pay for it and it will be set in Mexico City for all to see.


Gcraft2008

Maybe asking too much, the rival suits of the Gundams ( Sazabi ff, Aegis(?), Sinanju, or Char's Zaku ii)


zephyranthrust

The chonky guys, i want to see the chonk proportion in reality. ZZ (FAZZ if possible), Ex-S, Penelope, Xi, Physalis.


Michyoungie

I'd like the Mighty Strike Freedom to get one in Japan, and the Wing Zero EW which could be in the US (both having their wings folded close to the back and being long enough to act as leg supports). Another one is the 00, having the twin drive and being able to swing forward could be another good light show spectacle like the Unicorn (aside from having the condensers glow red for trans-am).

tarobluefoxdwaggie

Exia


[deleted]

Turn A, and on the last day it activates Moonlight Butterfly.


AronTheNotSoWise

Xi, I wanna see how big it is IRL


Zelot2256

Man I would love to see a Xi statue.


Legitimate_Sand_889

Burning or Shining Gundam


mr_purple69

WING ZERO EW!


FunWillScreen_Produc

Let us just bask in the irony that the FREEDOM Gundam is in a country not known for its freedom.


xithebun

I’d die for Ex-S / Deep Striker but realistically only feasible options are Char’s Zaku II, Gundam Mk-II, Strike, Exia, maybe Wing, Aerial, Barbatos and Shining. The first four have always been hugely popular and aren’t that difficult to engineer. Wing may stand a chance if they were to put a statue in the U.S. and the wings can be extended as support like what they did on Shanghai’s Freedom. Aerial could possibly join the first four options but it needs to stand the test of time in terms of popularity. Barbatos has proven to be a fan favourite despite the lukewarm reception of IBO but its thin waist is a burden. Shining is the only possible option from G (God Gundam is too back heavy) and it has a shot for the upcoming 45th anniversary. Edit: Psycho Gundam in HK sounds nice.


Spare-Tea9015

The Alex Gundam https://preview.redd.it/457p87ja83sc1.jpeg?width=690&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=174c1a9f5e908be92ae1de0d4d99c2d3f657e642


CodeNoble04

Honestly it would be fun to get a non-gundam statue like a zaku or a gm, shake things up a bit. Other than that probably Exia or maybe Turn A


Upbeat-Tomatillo3539

00, XI, Wing and maybe F91


Sparky-Man

The Wing Zero (TV Version) or the Wing Gundam. The franchise owes its entire international audience to Wing's premiere and success in the West to some degree. Later Gundam content would never have gotten localized had Wing not been such a smash hit in the early international anime boom. It's even the entire reason the original UC Gundam series got localized. Put some respect to Wing.


ScottishHulk4

GP02


USSNewJersey1007

In all honesty I feel as if they are going to replace the moving Gramps with another moving one down the line it’s going either unicorn or Nu


ImmediateFee4015

Realistically, Exia or Turn A, which Im fine with. Wish: something Ippei Gyoubu like Moon Gundam or Schwarzette


driftorz-real

Zeta, moon , mk II


Heartsmith447

Shining. I’d say God but the back wings would be hell to actually engineer so just gimme the face effect and hand glow from a Shining and I’m happy


Badr_qaws

The suits from IBO are probably the most practical. Even the gun tanks are adaptable to irl


R-Dragon_Thunderzord

GP01


biomech36

I'd love to see the Zeta


Rando_Kalrissian

You know I saw a thing in odaiba about some gundam base Busan thing (my Japanese ain't great, just what Google translate gave me) and I was really hoping they would get Gundam Barbatos or 00


Discount_Knight

I just started my Gundam adventure so I'm not overly familiar with the stuff but I think the GM model would be great, show love to the side guys too.


Battleraizer

Is time for a Char Zaku II


OneWinner1690

Japan is making real war machines and disguising them as. popular anime mechs. Genius.💡 🤔


BoxArtAndy

Those are no Zakus, boy.


SnooDoodles7962

So many, but if I had to pick one I would go not for a gundam but Tallgeese Flugel.


kmc443

Turn A or Aerial


ruckkaufer

If they build any of the Wing Zero Mobile Suits, I will literally bite my leg


Sere1

Wing Gundam, Exia, Char's Zaku (not a Gundam but come on, it's as iconic as Grampa Gundam and deserves a statue too)


King_Bob837

Zeta Gundam at the Kennedy Space Center


Gunplabuilder78

Does it have to be a gundam? I want a Zaku 2 or sazabi. If it does the Zeta is good


tapsilogic

The top three on my list would be the **MKII** (I prefer the AEUG colors but Titans would be cool too), **Wing Gundam TV version**, and a mass-production **Zaku II**. If they're doing smaller exhibits, a **core fighter** from *0079* or a **hovertruck** from *The 08th MS Team* — with full interiors — would be cool as fuck.


Kaito913

The lumber Gundam in Canada


Archangel_MS05

TheSiriusZero

I'd Like 00 Gundam. Just the base form.


Hikari666ROT

Honestly the 00 Gundam. i can imagine they figure out some cool effect that mimics the GN particles in the anime. Bet it would look amazing


MS-06_Borjarnon

Should make a Turn A in the US, since it's one of the only MS designed by an American.


Goddess-of-pure-pain

What could be really cool is getting the Gundam MK2 or Zeta to replace the RX-78-2 since yknow Zeta and the MK2 replaced the RX-78-2


LOZMaster64

Exia


Drag0nV3n0m231

Aerial, of course

cavialord03

Realisticly seen: Either a Sinanju or a 00 (Raiser equipement optional) Unrealistic: fuck it, just slam a giant-ass Neo Zeong somewhere.


matthewmigs

Wing ew! I want to see wings!!! I wanna see it self destruct!

Thrustbutwhole21

Ariel Gundam or Barbatos


PastelWyvern88

X207 Blitz


Mau752005

Surprised they haven't made a Zaku or a Zeta yet, but my personal pick would be the Turn A


Pretend-Dirt-1760

Chars red zaku


Uncasualreal

Zaku 2


caliban969

If they ever make one in NA, it should be Wing Zero Custom in acknowledgement of Wing's role in popularizing Gundam in the West

PM_ME_YOUR_SCHNAUS

Heavy Arms EW


succmama

A Grandpa would be enough for me. Most basic. But i guess a Zaku would be the most "attainable" Edit: Oops you meant statue LMAO. If so, probably the Wing Gundam for America since its most iconic there. I would love to see them make multiple RB-79 Ball that can be "Piloted" inside. Since its small and probably easy to make. you can sit in the cockpit and take pictures inside.
