The 1/1 Scale RX-78-2 Gundam statue will once again be standing tall in Japan! Starting from Spring 2012 thru March 2013 , the 1/1 Gundam will be on display in front of Diver City Tokyo (Odaiba, Tokyo).

Statue to return to Odaiba island next spring after nearly 3 years away

The self-described "Gundam videographer" darwinfish began streaming new time-lapsed footage of the 1/1-Scale Gundam reconstruction at Odaiba. The video features work being done on the upper body and torso. The statue is being rebuilt at Diver City Tokyo, a complex under construction on the island by Mitsui Fudosan and Fuji TV.

The life-size statue first stood at Odaiba in July of 2009 and attracted 4.15 million visitors before it closed the following month. The statue rose again in Shizuoka — the self-described "model capital of the world" and the home of Bandai's plastic model factories — from July of last year to March of this year. The statue did return to Tokyo in August — in disassembled parts — as a charity drive after the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) disaster.

The same YouTube user has posted several other videos chronicling the reconstruction of the Gundam since construction began a few weeks ago.
