Listen up! So, here’s the lowdown. In Times Square, New York City, on a fine Saturday, August 27, 2024, at 13:05 JST, Bandai Namco rolled in like a boss, setting up a colossal 2 meter high Gundam statue right in the heart of the Big Apple. This ain’t just any promo, this is part of a nationwide takeover, hitting 14 spots across the U.S. from August through October, making sure everyone knows the “Mobile Suit Gundam” anime means business.
Now, this wasn’t just about standing around gawking at a statue. Oh no, they had a whole setup going on. A plastic model workshop? Check. Latest games on display? You bet. They even had a pop-up store selling exclusive, limited-edition Gundam gear. And let me tell you, people were lining up, over 50 strong, just to get their hands on that merch.
Friday and Saturday, the fans came out in droves, flocking to this event like it was the only thing happening in New York. Because, frankly, with Gundam in town, what else could compare?
