Korea's Massive 364-Foot Taekwon V Statue Will Crush Puny Humans - taekwon V robot land - Gizmodo

Holy crap! So Japan builds giant Gundam and Testsujin statues (59 and 60-feet, respectively), now Korea is building this freakin' huge Taekwon V (Voltar the Invincible) replica that will be more than twice the height of the Statue of Liberty.

Taekwon V will be the center-piece of Robot Land, a nearly $600 million dollar development of entertainment areas, exhibition halls, research centers and businesses that we've mentioned in the past. Though it broke ground long before the Japanese projects, many believe Korea's Taekwon V cartoons copied Japan's Mazinger Z in the first place. Reow.

The park is set to open to the public in 2012, with full access starting in 2013. And yes, that's a monorail whizzing past Taekwon V's ankles. Awesome. [Robot Land (translated) via Plastic Pals]

Just needs America to counteract with their own. Prolly construct Megas XD

I feel bad that I don't know who Taekwon V is...

[Kaylia]

I was hoping it would be about north korea.

Korean is incapable to do anything original and rather than be creative, just surround themselves in nationalism and reject any amount of rational thought.
See: Takeshima

That being said, lol at trying to build a rip-off robot.

japan is still way cooler qq

i read between the lines

[Beckwin]

it'd be way more badass if they built this along the DMZ, right next to the flagpole they built to one-up the Norks' flagpole.

Seno: Do you know Dokdo?!?!?!?!?

I think it's ugly

Apparently most of South Korea.

And if they won't do Megas, we can always go with another home-grown design. GW can go make a Warhound Titan or something.

Giant robot wonders of the world should be the properly epic monument building for the 21st century.

[Senoska]

The more I think about this, the more I think that this will be the biggest joke south korea has ever pulled on themselves. I look forward to its completion.

America should do:

And Kerb just won the thread...

[Byrthnoth]

This is like the moon race of giant robot statues.

[Zilong]

So that's what Megas XLR was based on...

Well, I guess it's Japan's turn to drill the moon, we all know it's just a giant Ganmen Warship waiting to be utilized.
