The Bandai HGUC #191 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam (Revive Ver.) is a High Grade Universal Century snap-fit plastic model kit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. Released in 2015 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Gunpla, this kit features all-new molds with modern proportions, improved articulation, and refined part separation compared to the original 2001 HGUC release. It is an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate builders, requiring no glue or painting for a color-accurate finished model. The RX-78-2 is the iconic Earth Federation prototype mobile suit piloted by Amuro Ray during the One Year War.
Key Features
Revive Engineering: Completely redesigned molds deliver 150% more points of articulation compared to the original 2001 HGUC RX-78-2 while maintaining a similar parts count.
Double-Jointed Limbs: Both the elbows and knees feature double-joint construction, enabling deep bends for dynamic action poses.
Wedge Gate System: Utilizes Bandai's Kusabi (wedge) gate runner technology for cleaner nub removal and less visible gate marks.
Full Weapon Loadout: Includes the RX-78-2's classic armament - beam rifle, hyper bazooka, shield, and two beam sabers with effect parts.
Interchangeable Hands: Comes with multipurpose weapon-holding hands, a right trigger-finger hand, and open-palm hands for versatile posing.
Backpack Storage: Beam sabers store on the backpack, and the hyper bazooka can be mounted on the rear skirt via an included storage adapter.
