The Tallest Evangelion Statue In The World

And it’s not located in Tokyo-3, but Shanghai, China. 

With the Spear of Longinus, this official EVA-01 Test Type statue measures 24.8 meters (81.36 feet) high. 

The making-of photos are awesome.

As pointed out by Viper 2ch, the recently erected statue is even Guinness World Record certified!

Twitter user Livein China notes that a similar statue, minus the Spear, went up last year during gaming expo China Joy.
