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. This kit features an all-new engineering approach with exceptional torso and ankle flexibility, enabling dynamic posing that surpasses previous MG RX-78 iterations. 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.
Key Features
Advanced Articulation: Unique waist joint allows bold forward, backward, and lateral tilting, while redesigned ankles provide high stability for dynamic poses.
Origin-Exclusive Weaponry: Includes shoulder cannon, forearm gatling gun parts, shoulder magnums, and chest-mounted vulcans unique to The Origin version of the RX-78.
Dual Beam Rifles: Both early-type and late-type beam rifles are included, allowing display of different stages of the One Year War.
Clear Effect Parts: Three effect parts recreate muzzle flash and smoke trails for the fixed armament, adding visual impact to displays.
LED Unit Compatible: Translucent camera eyes can be illuminated with the Gunpla LED Unit (sold separately) for an authentic light-up effect.
Fully Articulated Hands: Manipulators feature individually articulated fingers on ball-and-socket joints for expressive weapon handling.
Pilot Figurine: Includes a 1/100 scale seated Amuro Ray figurine for the cockpit.
I wanted to build this kit before I pick up the PG version. Heard a lot of great things on this MG version. I am looking forward to this build. Great care in packaging and arrived safely. Trusted and highly suggested. Thank you!
