Human-sized Gundam assembled by Maru family

You'll have to forgive us for indulging ourselves in a moment of fanboyish wonderment here, but about the only thing we can think of that's better than Bandai's life-sized Gundam replica is that very replica being built from the ground up by Robo-One 10 Championship winners, the Maru family. There isn't any exact parallel here, but we'd vaguely liken this to watching Miyamoto-san assemble a Wii -- except still somehow better, perhaps due to the looks on those childrens' faces that manages to warm even our cold, metallic heart-pump devices. Trust us, your inner-child / fanboy will be sated.

Does it actually DO anything, or just stand there?

OMG, I love the Gundam slippers to protect the floor. Only in Japan...

Yeah, surprisingly, not everyone in Japan lives in shoebox apartments... there are some huge houses when you get out of the urban cores...
