HG 1/144 RX-78 2 Ver. G30th Review (Bandai)


From the latest Lead Gundam I reviewed before,  now we're looking at the mecha that started the whole franchise of real robot thing..  The HG RX 78-2 Gundam!


PACKAGE:

And since I'm so excited to build this, I forgot to take a picture of the runners on their plastic bags.. Anyway, the kit comes with 3 runners composing of A, B and C parts, a polycap, foil stickers, metal chain (Sweet!) and a manual.

Manual

Runner A

Runner B

Runner C
*Remember when I said I'm excited to build this, well you can see that I already build some of it before taking a picture.. LOL! :p *

Polycap, Foil Sticker and Metal Chain.

The quality of the plastic and grooves on the panel lines are Great!! Just as expected from a Bandai Kit.. :)  


THE KIT:

Without lining and stickers - the kit looks plain, bland and boring..






And here with it's weapons and accessories.

After putting the eyes/neck stickers and lining the grooves.. The kit dramatically changes from uber boring robot into a "Real Gradish" mecha.. I don't usually like kits with many panel linings, as it makes the kit looks busy, but the amount of lining grooves really compliments the blandness of it..







POSEABILITY:

This kit offers above average posseability, capable of doing some dynamic poses but not much compared to HG 00 Gundam and HG Age-1 Normal.. One culprit for this is the single jointed knees which limits the range of crouching and kicking posses.. *See picture Below*















Despite the little issue on the posseability area, it's still capable executing kneeling posses that the MG Ground Gundam can only dream of.. 

Conclusion:

Despite the little nit pick I have on the kit.. This is one kit you should go and pick up for your self.. The panel lining is great on this kit, and with the right tool and a bit of effort, you can make this stand out and look "Real-Gradish".. :)
