A new giant Gundam statue is coming and from what we can see, it's going to be just as good, if not better than the old Gundam statue. Recently some sneak peeks of a new 1/1 scale Gundam Unicorn statue has been spreading on social media. This new statue that is being erected in Tokyo's Odaiba, is still unfinished, however, images and videos of the unfinished work showcase the seriously cool new antenna.

ツノ割れ→ユニコーンモード→ツノ割れ。
ちょっとアップにし過ぎた。手持ち撮影なので揺れます。

According to the videos released on Twitter, the new statue's antenna will move. The new RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Mobile Suit's antenna starts out looking like a unicorn, however, it splits into a V-fin when entering Destroy Mode. When the antenna splits it lights up and overall just looks awesome.
何度もアンテナが開閉してました。
こちら、運良く撮れたムービーです。歩道からも普通に見られる位置なので、通りすがりの方も興味深げに写真撮られてました。

At the moment the statue hasn't been completed and Gundam fans can't see what the whole statue will look like just yet, however, some sneak peeks have been posted all over Twitter showcasing the giant statue in pieces. From this, you could roughly gather what the finished statue would look like completed.
This new Gundam suit although unfinished already looks as if it's going to be a new epic attraction. With the new suit coming to the delight of all anime fans, as it celebrates one of Japan's most successful animation productions, an anime that has continued strongly since the late 1970's; Gundam.
