RX-78-2 Gundam

RX-78-2 Gundam is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam television series. Part of the RX-78 Gundam series, it was built in secret on Side 7. The Gundam would turn the tide of war in favor of the Earth Federation during the One Year War against the Principality of Zeon. It was primarily piloted by Amuro Ray.

Based on the design data of the "HG RX-78-2 Gundam" released in 2015, which has good proportions and a movable range and is easy to assemble, it has been reconstructed with both color reproduction and ease of assembly. It is an item.

The RX-78-2 Gundam designed by Kunio Okawara is reproduced with a new mold. The shape and impressive red and white coloring are reproduced by color-coding by dividing the parts. Impressive arm, abdomen, front armor, waist, legs, beam saber and other coloring are reproduced in molded colors by dividing the parts. The white lines on the arms and legs express details with seals and molding. The vernier added to the calf is also reproduced. Various new hand parts that produce action scenes are also included. 

Comes with a marking sticker designed by Kunio Okawara and inspired by Japan. "Kanji" is used for the sticker design, creating a Japanese feel.

A beautiful package design with the motif of "soft Japanese shape" and "hemp leaf pattern", which is the image of the Japan Pavilion. It is delivered in a special limited package with red foil stamping for full color printing.

Also included is a special leaflet containing a special interview with Kunio Okawara about the ambassador-specific Gundam.
