The Bandai HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam (Beyond Global) is a High Grade model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam series, built at 1/144 scale. Released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Gunpla, this kit re-examines Kunio Okawara's original RX-78-2 design with modern engineering that prioritizes natural posing, advanced articulation, and balanced proportions. Suitable for beginner to intermediate builders, the snap-fit construction requires no glue or painting for a complete build. The Beyond Global edition uses KPS plastic for its joint parts instead of traditional polycaps, resulting in smoother and more durable articulation throughout.

Key Features

• 40th Anniversary Gunpla Engineering: Integrates the latest HG series technologies for a modern interpretation of the original RX-78-2 Gundam.
• Advanced Torso Articulation: Forward-bending and swing-movable torso structure with a neck joint capable of front-to-back movement for expressive upper-body poses.
• Human-Like Leg Posing: Inward-bending joints at the base of the thighs enable natural kneeling and dynamic stances not typically possible in HG kits.
• Independent Wrist Articulation: Ball-jointed wrist blocks allow each hand to move independently for fluid shield positioning and expressive weapon handling.
• KPS Joint Construction: Joint parts are molded in KPS plastic, eliminating the need for polycaps and providing consistent, long-lasting articulation.
• Comprehensive Skirt Armor Movement: Front, side, and rear skirt armor panels lift independently to avoid interference with leg articulation.
• Double-Jointed Limbs: Both elbows and knees feature double-jointed construction for deep bending and dynamic combat poses.
