Bandai CAPSULE ACTION RX-78-2 Gundam Review

CAPSULE ACTION RX-78-2 Gundam [ Solid Color Ver. ]

It's a premium gashapon for 1500 yen, but it's pretty solidly made, and all the modeling and painting textures are at a high level.

Head Unit

RX-78 face that is faithful to the basics without any particular arrangement. The antenna is also sharp. I haven't painted the duct, but maybe because it's the first one, I'm really excited about it.

Body Unit

The proportions are not peculiar, and the mold is properly included, giving a sense of precision. The white part is a molding color, but it is matte processed and has a good texture.

Arms and Legs Unit

This area also has a moderate mold and looks good. Although it is small with a total height of about 9 cm, there is even a marking on the shoulder. The shoulder markings are asymmetrical. The movement has a reasonable swing width for both the neck and waist, and the shoulders can be raised very high.

Elbows and knees can also be bent deeply with double joints. The hip joint is not a pull-out type, but it has a wide range of movement in the front and back and has good grounding.

Weaponry and Accessories Option Set

It didn't come with a bazooka. beam rifle. No particular gimmicks. Shield also had a lot of mold and the paint was beautiful. The installation is a grip method. It even comes with a stand joint that supports 3mm holes. Corresponds to the soul stage etc.

CAPSULE ACTION RX-78-2 Gundam [ Mechanical Clear ver. ]

Both gashapon and box versions are enclosed at a rate of 1/2. Although it is beautiful as it is, it is a failing frame for cost adjustment.

Weaponry and Accessories Option Set

Beam saber is included only here. There is no scale notation, but the impression is that it is about 1/200 and is close to the old high-computer.

Movability and Articulation

The mobility is good everywhere as mentioned above. It's not as good as Robot Damashii ver. ANIME, but it's pretty close, and considering the size, it was pretty good.

The posture is slightly inclined, but it is possible to stand on one leg. Since the foregrip does not move, it is impossible to hold it properly with both hands, but close movement is possible.

There is no gimmick to mount the shield on the back, but it was possible to shoot new types. The saber pattern of the backpack is removable. The movement of piercing Zaku and the pose of cutting Gouf's arm also break through the atmosphere. The only downside was that it was difficult to extend my toes.

Summary

This is a new product called CAPSULE ACTION, a premium gashapon that costs 1,500 yen per use. The real thing is more than the impression of the sample, and the proportions and face are sculpted without any quirks. Although the total height is only 9 cm, the mold and paint are precise, and the range of motion is extremely wide, making it easy to play.
