giant gundam statue loses its head, still keeps its cool

giant_gundam_head_tgs_2009

While Japan’s Giant Gundam statue is but a distant memory, that doesn’t mean his dismembered body parts can’t be used for good.

It turns out that despite the dismantling of the Giant Gundam his head still lives on. It’s sort of like that movie They Saved Hitler’s Brain, where they kept the evil Furor’s head…

transmission_audio_ultimate

Let me start out by saying that my entire 5.1 home theater sound system cost less than $1,000 bucks, so the thought of paying $1,000,000 for a single speaker is about as foreign a concept to me as Paris Hilton spending $325k on a dog house.
