I'm really excited about this kit. It is my first time building a RX 78-2 Gundam, and second time building a RG kit. Only one thing I assure though. This kit will be a badass gundam.
BOX
Opening the box, you will notice the different scales of RX 78-2. I think its one of the marketing strategy of Bandai.
PLATES and DECALS
Now one of the problem in building a RG scales is that there are a lot of small pieces. You cant blame the Bandai though, because they are trying to make a MG kit in a 1/144 scale. So you need to be really extra careful on not loosing some parts in building this kit (like the pegs in the riffle where I lose mine in my RG Strike).
CORE FIGHTER
Im just amazed what they did on the Core Fighter. The hatch is not sliding though but it could open by opening it up. And also it could transform into a Core Block.
They will give you three wheels for the Core Fighter. (Make sure to not loose them. I already loose 2 of them after taking some shots.)
INNER FRAME
Here is some shots in the inner frame. I already built the half of it so you could compare.
Building an RG kits is like building like putting some parts in an innerframe which is already pre-built. so you have to be extra careful on damaging the inner frame. The feel of the plastic of the inner frame is like more solid than the polycaps, more than a rubber than a plastic.
and also you could put the core fighter in it if you dont want the coreblock for the inner frame.
LEGS and FEET
Legs can fully bend. Great parts and color seperation. one part of the knee likes to pop up though, but you could just glue them if you want to. The toe can also bend. :)
WAIST
Sides skirts are movable independently and connected in a ball joints. It always like to pop-out though every time the legs is move at the front, so be careful on losing those skirts.
here is a shot with the core block
BODY
Awesome color seperation. two shades of blue and two shades of gray and there's a metalic gold decal on those vents at the chest to make it more appealing. nicely detailed. the hatch can be open, but no pilot.
ARMS
Arms can bend at two points. Nice details and color separation. you will be given a close fist hand and a manipulator with a 1-3 finger hand just like in a MG kits but in 1/144 scale.
BACKPACK
Nicely detailed. you can attach a beam sabers, You could also move the beam sabers a little once connected. ( I think its in a ball-joint like). Thrusters are connected in a ball joint. it like to pop-out though,,so be extra careful on posing. you might loose them. Good details
HEAD
Awesome. just awesome and nicely detailed.
MOBILE SUIT
It really looks like a MG 3.0 in a 1/144 scale. Great articulations on arms, legs, skirts and head. Some parts like to pop up though, one part on the knee (which you could glue), skirts at the front and back, parts in the shoulders. aside from those its a solid kit.
here are some poses.
WEAPONS and ACCESSORIES
You will be given a four beam sabers(two for the back pack/shield and two with pegs) a riffle, a bazooka and a shield. all of them are nicely detailed and has color separations.
beam sabers and the beam riffle at the backpack could also mounted on the shield. the cannon can be mounted at the back of the skirt.
for beam sabers they will give you a pink clear plastic. just look on how long those beams are.
Some shots with its weapons.
they will also give you a small Amuro Ray.
and you will also give a connector for action base which can be mounted at the back of the skirt (where you can mount the bazooka)
With RG Strike Gundam
FINAL THOUGHTS
Over all this is an awesome kit and a great kit to buy. Really if you want a great articulated kit in 1/144 scale, you want an RG kit.
This kit is fully articulated. you could make some good poses on this kit and can only be limited by your imagination.
Thanks for reading and keep forward on my next review :)
