For the first time, Mexico receives a visit from the iconic RX-78 from Mobile Suit Gundam in the form of a statue more than 3 meters high that will be on display in the Villa Juguetón within the TV Azteca facilities. This effort, the result of collaboration between BANDAI NAMCO and TV Azteca, celebrates the impact that the anime series has had on the Mexican public.
Although many associate Gundam statues with the enormous figures located in Daiba, Japan, it is important to mention that this version was developed exclusively for Mexico, handcrafted and brought as a unique piece of art. An unmissable experience for fans of anime and Japanese culture!

Admission will be completely free, allowing attendees to enjoy this work and take photos with one of the symbols most iconic of the Japanese anime that saw the light of day in the Mobile Suit Gundam series.
