Clothe the robot! Gundam needs his giant t-shirt
Finally some clothing to cover the naked Gundam out in Odaiba. Anyone with a spare pair of giant robot pants?
The shirt reads '連邦軍' (Federation Army), which is the Gundam's 'home team' in the original sci-fi series.Looking to send a memorable gift to a certain giant robot in Odaiba?
Asiajin has a great post about online t-shirt shop Club T auctioning off a seven-meter shirt -- just the right size for the full-size Gundam re-creation currently on display in Odaiba.
The starting price for the auction is ¥300,000 (about US$3000), but no one (as of writing) has yet placed a bid. The online auction ends August 18, but if you have to have it immediately for that special giant robot in your life, you can buy it now for ¥500,000.
Unfortunately, the shirt will take a month to produce after purchase, meaning it will not arrive in time to actually be worn by the Gundam before it is dismantled and packed away end of this month.
Gundam may just have to remain naked.
