An extremely detailed 2018 Waluigi render shows that the "Γ" emblem on his hat is a sticker, as a corner is peeling off. This suggests that unlike Mario, Luigi and Wario, who have tailored caps, Waluigi was only able to afford a cap with a blank emblem that he customized himself. pic.twitter.com/sGFtoe38Bp

After years of hard work, a life-size Japanese Gundam robot has proved to its legions of fans that in fact, it really can move. The life-size robot is modelled on one of the robots from the highly popular 1970s anime series, Mobile Suit Gundam. The machine was put through its paces this week at its new home in the port city of Yokohama.

The life-size robot was due to become the centrepiece at Gundam Factory Yokohama, south of Tokyo, on 1 October, but the pandemic led to pushing its official unveiling until later in the year, according to the site’s operator.
According to reports from The Guardian, the company has stated that this decision was made to ensure the health and safety of the fans and employees in response to the worldwide spread of Covid-19. They had even apologised to all of our fans who were looking forward to the grand opening and ask for their understanding. In the meantime, they will be making preparations so that all of their visitors can enjoy themselves in safety.
