Story & Background: The RX-78-2 Gundam, piloted by Amuro Ray, is the hero mobile suit of the Earth Federation during the One Year War against the Principality of Zeon. Developed as part of the Federation’s "Project V," the RX-78-2 was designed as a prototype mobile suit that would revolutionize warfare. Armed with beam weaponry, a sturdy shield, and a powerful beam saber, the RX-78-2 became a symbol of hope and resistance for the Earth Federation. Its design, which combines high mobility with heavy firepower, has made it one of the most iconic mobile suits in the Gundam franchise.

Key Features:

• Real Grade Detailing: As the first model in the RG line, the RX-78-2 Gundam features intricate detailing that rivals larger Master Grade kits. The armor panels, mechanical details, and internal frame are designed to provide a realistic and refined appearance at a smaller scale, elevating the RX-78-2 beyond a standard 1/144 scale kit.
• Advanced Articulation: The RX-78-2 Gundam is built around a fully articulated inner frame, allowing for an impressive range of motion and dynamic posing. The advanced articulation points allow you to recreate iconic battle poses and display the mobile suit in action-packed stances.
• Comprehensive Armament: The RX-78-2 comes equipped with its full suite of classic weaponry, including the Beam Rifle, Beam Sabers, Hyper Bazooka, and Shield. The weapons can be mounted on the Gundam or held in various configurations, allowing for multiple display options. The shield can be attached to the arm or stored on the back.
• Color Separation and Realistic Markings: The RG RX-78-2 features excellent color separation straight out of the box, with no need for painting. The multi-tone armor parts add depth and realism to the model’s appearance, while the included realistic marking decals bring out fine details, giving the model a professional finish.
• Core Fighter Transformation: The RX-78-2’s Core Fighter is faithfully recreated and can be transformed into its core block form, just like in the anime. The Core Fighter can dock inside the Gundam’s torso or be displayed separately, providing additional play and display options.
• Detailed Inner Frame: The RG RX-78-2 Gundam introduces an advanced inner frame system that adds structural integrity and flexibility to the mobile suit. The inner frame provides a solid foundation for the model’s armor and allows for smooth, natural movement in the limbs and joints.

• Compact and Collectible: As a 1/144 scale kit, the RG RX-78-2 is compact and easy to display, making it a perfect addition to any Gunpla collection. Despite its size, the level of detail and articulation rivals that of larger scale kits, ensuring it stands out on any shelf.
