The statue is located at East Shizuoka Square (north east of JR Shizuoka Station/Naganuma, Aoi-ku, Shizuoka City). It will be on display from July 24th, 2010 till January 10th, 2011. The performances of the statue are pretty much the same as the original display at Shiokaze Park in Odaiba last year: vertical movement of the head, about 50 light-up panels and 14 mist jet gimmicks installed inside its chest, feet and backpack. The lighting system installed around the statue will be a new feature.
And of course the beam saber it's holding in its right hand as well. ^^
Apart from the display of the statue, another highly related event - "the Capital of the World of Model - Shizuoka Hobby Fair" will be launched on the same day. This event however, will be ongoing till March 27th, more than 2 months after "RG 1/1 Scale Gundam Project" closes. The expected number of visitors to this event is 900,000.
More details of this event is not available at the moment.
