Where other than Japan could you find a life-size Gundam replica? Or perhaps the question should be: where other than Japan would anyone want a life-size Gundam replica?
This imposing reproduction on the outskirts of Tokyo really comes to life after the sun goes down. (more…)
There are tons of iPod speakers out there, but I defy anyone to find a product geekier than this Gundam Head Speaker based on the popular Japanese anime series by the same name.
The Gundam Speaker plugs into any portable media player and it runs on batteries so you can listen to your tunes and impress your nerdy friends anytime, anywhere. You can pick one up in your choice of Full Color, Clear, and Event versions.

Since the Japanese love for anime series and big robots is huge, they decided to create a replica of a robot called Gundam, which has been renamed to Gundam Fix Platinum.
The piece of art measures 12.5cm tall and weighs 1.4kg, like the name suggests it is made of platinum and to make it more valuable there is a 0.15 carat diamond located on its head, which gives a final price tag of around $250,000.
The platinum Gundam will be exhibited at BASELWORLD 2007, an annual watch and jewelry show held in Basel, Switzerland beginning April 12. After that, it will return to Japan.
I guess that only die hard fans of the Gundam series would think about spending 30 million Yens on the miniature robot, right?
