The Bandai MG #190 1/100 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.) is a Master Grade model kit based on the iconic mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin.

Recommended for intermediate to advanced builders, the MG grade offers detailed inner frame construction and fully articulated fingers. Piloted by Amuro Ray, the RX-78-02 is the Earth Federation's prototype mobile suit as reimagined by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's acclaimed manga.
