TOKYO (AFP) - Adults who never grew out of their love for Gundam robots will soon see their dreams become as large as life as a toymaker rolls out human-size versions of the Japanese anime hero.
The 1.5-meter (five-foot) tall version of the Gundam -- whose adventures in far-away worlds have been a longstanding hit on Japanese and US television -- sends red laser rays from its head and flashing lights through its eyes.
Weighing 35 kilograms (77 pounds), the robot strikes poses, makes robotic noises and fires away with its "Vulcan" machine gun.
