RG 1/144 #40 RX-78-2 GUNDAM Ver.2.0

Experience the evolution of Gunpla engineering with the RG 1/144 RX-78-2 GUNDAM Ver.2.0, bringing the iconic Mobile Suit to life with unparalleled realism and articulation. This Real Grade kit from BANDAI HOBBY redefines the original RX-78-2 with a deep focus on mechanical allure and human-like flexibility.

At its core, a newly designed internal frame, inspired by a semi-monocoque structure, allows builders to truly relive the construction of a Mobile Suit. The joint structure features a reinterpretation of movable axes, ensuring that parts that appear to be joints bend properly, leading to incredibly natural and dynamic posing. The leg sections, specifically reconsidered for a "close combat MS Gundam," utilize composite frame joints to achieve an outline akin to a human in motion.

The exterior design is a masterful fusion of modern interpretation and a faithful return to the original's aesthetic. Small, intricate details are added while carefully considering the foundational structure, including the edges and curves of each part. The main body's white sections are composed of two-tone molded colors, maximizing the three-dimensional information and shading for a richer visual presence.

Enjoy a seamless build experience thanks to a design that eliminates conspicuous mounting holes, integrating them smoothly with the overall aesthetic. The intricately colored head is meticulously reproduced through expert color separation by molded colors, capturing fine details such as the twin eyes, main camera, magazine drums, and cheek ducts. Panel lines reflect the underlying mechanisms, divided into functional blocks to resemble actual dividing lines on the Mobile Suit.

An original RG gimmick allows the chest armor covering the cockpit to open and close vertically. The Core Fighter is fully transformable into the Core Block, and in addition to faithfully reproducing its aircraft mode proportions, a newly developed auxiliary joint gimmick is built into the compact Core Block, contributing to the Gundam's expansive range of free posing. The Hyper Bazooka features a sliding structure for barrel extension, enabling powerful poses even with outstretched arms. Movable Beam Saber mounts are installed, allowing for natural drawing expressions, and the Shield includes a holding arm for armament, a unique sliding and locking structure, and a truss-like frame on its back for mounting the Beam Rifle or Beam Sabers.
