Can't visit that giant Gundam statue? Then check out this up-close virtual tour!

Can't visit that giant Gundam statue? Then check out this up-close virtual tour! photo

Face it. You are probably never going to see the coolest anime fan-dom creation of our lifetime up close and personal. Because you're poor and spend all your time and money buying silly little plastic dolls and not saving up for some dangerously cheap plane tickets to Japan.

Well, never fear! The Internet is here! Instead of breaking the bank and taking a week off of work to go on a pilgrimage to the holy land, culminating with an hour long prayer ceremony at the feet of the giant, full-sized Gundam in Tokyo, you can now just hop over to this site and go on something of a virtual tour. The large panoramic photo lets you get the feeling of standing right next to the towering metal god. And right in a crowd of a few of your closest robo-otaku friends.

Anyone out there actually planning on seeing this guy in person?
