The Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78GP01 Gundam Zephyranthes is a Master Grade model kit based on the prototype general-purpose mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Piloted by Kou Uraki, the GP01 was developed as part of the Earth Federation's Gundam Development Project as a next-generation improvement over the legendary RX-78-2 Gundam. This kit is recommended for intermediate to advanced builders who enjoy inner frame construction and mechanical gimmicks. Originally released in August 1997, it is one of the earliest Master Grade kits and remains a classic in the lineup.
Key Features
Core Block System: The Core Fighter can be extracted from the torso and transformed into a standalone jet fighter-type vehicle, then re-docked with the mobile suit.
Opening Cockpit Hatches: Both the GP01 torso hatch and the Core Fighter cockpit can be opened to reveal a pilot figurine of Kou Uraki.
Partial Inner Frame: Features an internal mechanical structure with exposed detail throughout the model, characteristic of early Master Grade engineering.
Poseable Hands: Includes swappable manipulators with 3+1+1 articulated fingers capable of holding all included weapons.
Ball-Joint Articulation: Head, arms, thighs, and ankles utilize ball-and-socket joints for posing, with double-jointed elbows for improved range.
Detail-Up Parts: Includes optional detail runner parts (heavyuser parts) that can be glued on for additional surface detail.
Snap-Fit Assembly: Molded in color with snap-together construction - no glue or paint required for basic completion.
