The Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam (Ver. 1.5) is a Master Grade model kit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. Released as part of the Gundam 20th Anniversary Big Bang Project, this kit is a significant upgrade over the original 1995 MG RX-78-2, featuring revised proportions inspired by the Perfect Grade counterpart and a pre-assembled inner leg mechanism for improved joint stability. This kit is recommended for intermediate to advanced builders familiar with Master Grade construction, including inner frame assembly and multiple runner management. It holds a unique place in Gunpla history as the only MG kit to carry the "Ver. 1.5" designation.

Key Features

• PG-Inspired Proportions: New parts for the head, chest, shoulders, elbow joints, and lower body deliver proportions aligned with the Perfect Grade RX-78-2.
• Pre-Assembled Leg Frame: Features a one-piece inner leg mechanism with integrally molded dampers, providing firm joints straight from the runner for stable posing.
• Core Fighter/Block System: Includes a transformable FF-X7 Core Fighter that converts into a Core Block and docks within the Gundam's torso. A non-transforming Core Block is also provided.
• Opening Armor Panels: The arms, body, and thighs feature opening canopy hatches to reveal internal mechanical detail.
• Expanded Weapon Loadout: Adds the Gundam Hammer with plastic chain and Beam Javelin alongside the classic Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, Shield, and two Beam Sabers.
• Multiple Manipulator Options: Includes poseable hands, fists, trigger-finger hands, and open-palm hands for versatile display options.
• 1/100 Amuro Ray Figurines: Comes with both a sitting and standing 1/100 scale Amuro Ray pilot figurine.
