HG 1/60 V2 Gundam

The HG 1/60 V2 Gundam is a highly detailed plastic model kit from BANDAI HOBBY, originating from the "Mobile Suit Victory Gundam" series. This 1/60 scale kit faithfully recreates the LM314V21 V2 Gundam, a successor to the Victory Gundam, and was part of Bandai's early 90s "HG EX" line of high grade model kits. It was notable at the time for being the largest kit of the V2 Gundam.

Key features of this model kit include its high level of detail and poseability, allowing for dynamic display options. The kit preserves the transformation gimmick of the V2 Gundam through parts replacement, enabling various forms including separation into a core fighter, top fighter, and bottom fighter. The head is movable with ball joints, and the camera eye is molded as a clear part. The elbow beam shield base is also movable, and the beam shield can be detached. Ball joints are used for the wrist joints, and the fingers are movable, contributing to its articulation. While it is an older kit, it features system injection for some color separation. The distinctive "V" figure of the Minovsky unit, a key characteristic of the V2 Gundam, is accurately reproduced. This is an assembly-required model kit, though it generally does not require cement or paint for completion, making it accessible with basic modeling tools like plastic nippers and a panel liner.

The HG 1/60 V2 Gundam kit includes:

• Pieces to build the V2 Gundam
• V2 Core Fighter
• Beam Rifle
• Two Beam Sabers
• Beam Shield
• Effect parts for the beam saber and beam shield
• Marking seals for added detail
• Instruction manual

This product is ideal for Gunpla historians, fans of the "Mobile Suit Victory Gundam" series, and collectors who appreciate classic model kits. It is recommended for experienced model builders and enthusiasts aged 15 years and up, offering a rewarding assembly experience.
