Robots are cool and rather fascinating not because they tend to do anything particularly mind-blowing yet, but because they hint at a future where we have robots that will do cool and really useful stuff for us on a daily basis. Hajime Sakamoto, president of Hajime Research Institute, has a…

The title pretty much says it all. This incredible 7 foot-tall papercraft Gundam is about the greatest thing I’ve seen all day week month… year.

Japan’s Giant Gundam sculpture was one of my favorite man-made since I started writing this here site. So when I stumbled onto these images and video footage of the recently-dismantled Gundam statue, I wept. Okay, so I had just been cutting onions, but it still made me sad.…

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but Japan can be a weird place. At least if you judge the country strictly by the oddball gadgets and toys that they release, on a regular basis, they are. Take, for example, this wacky bit of Gundam-inspired schwag from the island nation.…

If you don’t have an iPhone or an Android phone yet, why not get a Gundam Robot Phone instead?

This phone will be released by Japan’s third biggest mobile phone carrier, SoftBank Mobile, who has 25 million subscribers. The phone itself is based on a Sharp 945SH, which has 3.2-inch…

Ever wonder what to do with those stupid grids of plastic left over when you assemble a model? How about build a Gundam?

That’s exactly what these guys did with their leftover bits and pieces. It took over 250 man-hours to build the RG (Recycle Grade) RX-78-2 Gundam, which measures…

While it’s certainly not as tall as the 59 foot Gundam in Japan, this 4 foot-tall version is still pretty impressive. Taras Lesko built this amazing statue of Freedom Gundam out of paper.

This is his latest papercraft project which took him over 2 months to construct. In total, Taras…
