Gigantor Statue

Speaking of giant robots, on a recent day trip to Kobe, Japan (from Osaka), I was finally able to stand in jaw dropping awe beneath the life-sized statue of the king of giant robots-- Tetsujin 28, aka Gigantor! "Bigger than big, taller than tall..." is no joke (see the very last image below for all the size details), --seriously, it's so impressive and awesome in person that I had to photograph it from every angle! Has anyone else taken a stroll down Tetsujin Street?

That's so excellent. I love the tiny pink skirted dancing girl in picture three. Welcome back!

PS, what's up with Blogger? Looks like many of your comments have up and disappeared.

Mightily impressive, and great photos.

I'm not sure whats happened but unfortunately this is true, many of the comments on the past half dozen or so posts are gone :( --and not just here either, but also at my other blog... I was in Japan for the last two weeks and trying to moderate things from there as well as the scheduled posts which I prepared before I even left. Something seems to have seriously glitched along the way, but if everyone feels like going back and re adding their comments it's much appreciated. I've tried digging around in the comments sector of blogger to see what could've happened but not finding anything unfortunately. Apologies to everyone :(

Sheee. No need to apologize, this is just Blogger pulling another boner. Sorry it happened to us all! I'll go back and add what comments I can. Then later, if everything magically reappears, you have to delete my nerdy redundancy. Nothing looks worse than "This comment was deleted by the user." Might as well say "Mr. Cavin got sore and took his ball back home with him."
