Review

This is the finished [HGUC] RX-78-2 GUNDAM(REVIVE Ver.).The main character machine that appears in “Mobile Suit Gundam”, the first mobile suit developed by the Earth Federation Forces, piloted by Amuro Ray.It was a revive version, so it was a kit that improved the range of motion and color coding from the model that was modeled in 2001.

Modeling with modern slim and sharp proportions for renewal.The characteristic red-blue-yellow tricolor color is also reproduced with the molding color, and the white part of the armor has a slightly greenish white color.

Head.A fairly small face.The main camera, forehead, and sensors on the back of the head are colored with stickers, and the vulcan and ducts need painting.

The main camera was reproduced with clear yellow parts, and by putting a silver sticker on the inside of the parts, it was possible to use the clear parts more effectively by reflecting light.

Body.The characteristic red-blue-yellow tricolor color is reproduced by dividing the parts.It is a clean and sophisticated design like the original Gundam.

The shoulder joint is a poly cap, and since it is attached in such a way that it can be moved upward, you can move the shoulder up greatly.

Arm.The elbows are double-jointed, allowing for a wide range of motion.The 〇 mold on the elbow is reproduced with a separate part, and the internal color coding is also reproduced with gray parts.There is a shaft hole on the side of the arm that can be connected to the shield.

Backpack.This is also a simple design like the first Gundam.Two beam sabers are provided, and the vernier is reproduced with separate parts.

The shield is ready to mount on your backpack.

Waist.The square helium cores of the front and rear armor are yellow parts.The V-shaped mark on the front is colored with a sticker.

The rear armor is replaceable so that a bazooka latch can be attached.

Legs.The 〇 mold on the knees is reproduced as a separate part, just like the elbows, and it looks great.It is necessary to paint the knee duct part with gray etc.

There are some cutouts on the soles of the feet, but the thrusters etc. were well-sculpted.The 〇 mold on the ankle part is all white parts, so the inside needs to be painted.

Action

Equipped with beam rifle and shield.

Posing with Beam Rifle.Standard armament for Gundam.The scope is color-coded with yellow parts, and the scope and foregrip are movable.

Equipped with hyper bazooka.This is also a weapon that was often used in the anime.Since the grip part is movable, it can be carried on the shoulder.

Attacks with beam saber.This is also the standard weapon for Gundam.Two effects are included, so you can also use it as a dual wield.

Side by side with the Guncannon and Guntank of the White Base Corps.Like the Gundam, the Guncannon has been renewed as a revive version.

Confrontation with Amuro’s eternal rival, Char’s Zaku driven by Char Aznable.The Zaku has also been renewed.

That concludes my review of [HGUC] RX-78-2 GUNDAM(REVIVE Ver.)!!

GOANZEN NI!!
