Armored Trooper Sculpture Stands Tall in Japan

Posted August 01, 2008 8:58 AM

From Newlaunches.com:

Japan Iron and Steel Federation celebrated its 150th anniversary with the Iron Stars Festival. Star of the event was a mammoth statue of an Armored Trooper from the hit anime show from the 80's 'Armored Trooper VOTOMS'. Standing tall at 4 meters it dwarfed every structure at the show. Weighing in at a few tons the statue is made keeping in mind even the minuet details like designs on the foot and patterns on the armor.

Another dodgy weblink, which address is: http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/armored_trooper_sculpture_stands_tall_in_japan.php

But when it's clicked on, gives the cryptic message:

iPhonelaunches.com

Page Not Found

Page not found - /archives/armored_trooper_sculpture_stands_tall_in_japan.php

Sorry folks, nobody home there.

Kind Regards....
