For the Gunpla 30th Anniversary, Bandai is releasing an all new 1/144 scale model of the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam, but don’t let the small scale of this model fool you! Influenced by innovations in years past on both the Perfect Grade and Master Grade Gundam models, this new RG Gundam model is a modernized hybrid with high attention to detail. It features:
- New realistic sticker detail
- Transformable core fighter
- Internal frame
GA Graphic was able to take photographs of the model on display at Shizuoka Hobby Show 2010. On display were the completed model and runners, as well as the fully articulated internal frame. Click on the title bar to see more!
Real Grade RX-78-2 Gundam
Wow, I think I might be sold. Better start saving now!
That's awesome!
$26+ I think. Not bad, higher than most 1/144's but considering the amount of runners and internal parts, I think it's justified. Don't think it will rival the SHCMpro with regards to articulation and detail, but I think it will be a worth-while build. Hope the internal frame system makes it to more 1/144's.
I like the scale and price point, and the internal frame looks terrific, but I really don't like the RX-78. I think I'll wait and see if they make any other models.
you dont like the OG(original gundam as far as i know) ,how dare you
The RX-78 is probably my favorite Gundam all around... I have too many versions of it.
I just like some of the sleeker models more, that's all.
I love my 1/144 7-11 Gundam so I may not get this one
I am more excited about the MG THE O
The RX-78 is one of the (if not THE) Best Robot/Mobile suits ever designed!
I'll be honest I prefer the grittier RX-78-G (08th MSteam)
But you can't deny the the awesomeness of the Original!
And yes I'll be buying several of these.
