See China's Life-Sized Freedom Gundam from Above, Just Like they Did in Yokohama!

The climb the Freedom Gundam event will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

This year marks the third anniversary of the life-sized "Freedom Gundam Statue" at Shanghai LaLaport and the inaugural anniversary of the "Gundam China Fans Alliance" mini-program.

To celebrate these milestones, an extraordinary event has been planned that offers fans a unique opportunity: the life-size Freedom Gundam has been updated, not just with new decals, but also with a chance to ascend the towering Gundam statue. A specially designed platform similar to the one used for the RX-78F00 Gundam viewing deck will facilitate this thrilling experience.

In preparation for the festivities, the Freedom Gundam Statue is getting a spectacular refurbishment that will dazzle visitors with its new form. The statue climbing event is the highlight of the celebration, providing fans with an unmatched opportunity to interact with their favorite mobile suit. 

Climbing sessions are set for May 1st to May 5th, May 12th, and May 18th to May 19th, with additional dates on May 25th and 26th. Each session lasts 15 minutes and can accommodate up to 17 climbers, ensuring an intimate and unforgettable experience.
