Review: Extremely good and fun RX-78-2 model to build! - My second full build. I struggled with a badly designed real grade version 1 of Rx-78-2 . The parts were flimsy and floppy and it kept falling apart one me. Then i bought this to see the differences. It assembles well and easily and stays tight when assembled and it has choice options with some body parts which is truly amazing. You will understand what i mean if you buy this. The only caveat with this product is the difference between a high grade model vs a real grade model which amount to slightly less surface details and a no frame system. Again, You will understand what i meant when and if you really get deeper into Gunpla. So if you are a detail obsessed person then skip this and buy rx-78-2 real grade VERSION 2 not version 1!!!!!!. If you want a good solid, tight and easy to assemble RX-78-2 model then give this one a shot first. This one is a lot of fun!!! ## Features - Celebrating the 40th anniversary of GunPla, is the arrival of the HG Gundam RX-78-02 (The Origin Ver - Featuring the latest injection molding techniques, the Gundam contains swappable parts to create either the Early or Mid timeline version of the RX-78-02 as it makes its journey during the One Year War - Early form features shoulder Magnum, Vulcan gun on chest, asymmetrical forearm mounted gatling gun, and rear mounted cannon while Mid form features symmetrical parts all through the body for its iconic appearance - Includes Early and Mid beam rifles, Hyper Bazooka, and Beam sabers - Product bears official Bluefin logo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083KL78YR | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Kit | | Best Sellers Rank | #297,270 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #261 in Model Figure Kits | | Brand | Bandai Spirits | | Brand Name | Bandai Spirits | | Colour | multicolor | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,351 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 Model Kit | | Item Dimensions | 25 x 51 x 127 Millimeters | | Item Type | #26 RX-78-02 Gundam "Gundam The Origin", Bandai Spirits HG The Origin 1/144 | | Item Weight | 10.5 Ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 25 x 51 x 127 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Bandai | | Manufacturer Part Number | 185349 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | #26 RX-78-02 Gundam "Gundam The Origin", Bandai Spirits HG The Origin 1/144 | | Model number | BAS5058929 | | Number of Pieces | 150 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Product Style | War | | Scale | 1:144 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Gundam The Origin | | Size | Small | | Special Features | Latest injection molding techniques, swappable parts for early/mid timeline versions | | Subject Character | Gundam | | Theme | Anime | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Bandai Spirits - **Colour:** multicolor - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 25 x 51 x 127 Millimeters - **Theme:** Anime ## Images ![Gundam The Origin: #26 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.), HG The Origin 1/144,Plastic, Multicolor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617WtK8G0XL.jpg) ![Gundam The Origin: #26 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.), HG The Origin 1/144,Plastic, Multicolor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714FdQ2eUaL.jpg) ![Gundam The Origin: #26 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.), HG The Origin 1/144,Plastic, Multicolor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cxu+GgHKL.jpg) ![Gundam The Origin: #26 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.), HG The Origin 1/144,Plastic, Multicolor - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CIu3N-XtL.jpg) ![Gundam The Origin: #26 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.), HG The Origin 1/144,Plastic, Multicolor - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xLxI0OTqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good buy and build *by J***N on 29 March 2024* Enjoyable set for a decent price.

This one is a lot of fun!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really cool little kit for newbies or experienced modellers. *by A***H on 18 May 2020* Although it doesn't totally transcend expectations, this is definitely one of the very nicest kits in the High Grade (HG) line. The construction is still relatively simple, and similar to other kits based on The Origin, but the sculpt is closely modeled on its Master Grade big brother, which means there's a lot of nice surface detail and panel lining opportunities. Compared to the older Revive version, it feels a lot more detailed and "realistic." If you're new to gunpla, this is a good kit to cut your teeth on. You can build it in a couple hours, it is maybe around 160 parts I'd guess. Nothing too challenging. There is not a great deal of need to paint -- the only color correcting stickers are the eyes (a yellow piece that is meant to be black and gold), the small yellow chevron on the crotch piece, and the gray circles on the arm and leg joints. These are all pretty passable, although I didn't use them personally. There is also a sheet of transparent decals, like other Origin kits, which are a nice bonus not found in most HGs. I am using waterslides (purchased separately) so I cannot vouch for their quality, but they look similar to those included with RG kits (pretty good as long as they are applied to light-colored, flat surfaces). If you were to build this just straight out of the box and then go over it with a panel marker, I imagine it would look pretty decent. I WOULD put a tiny dab of glue (super glue or plastic cement) on the red jewel on the head, because mine liked to fall off a lot and it's VERY small. Just glue it to be safe, you DON'T want to go on a scavenger hunt for it later. If you're a more experienced builder like myself and you want to paint and detail the kit, this is also one of the best kits of this grade/price point. It packs a ton of excellent surface detail, so there's lots to paint and line. With a good paint job it looks shockingly close to a scaled down version of the Master Grade kit. Obviously the construction is much simpler, but the articulation is still excellent, able to pull of just about any pose. The leg even has that nice separation that the MG has. Other than the afformentioned head piece that I had to glue, it's solid as a rock, and makes for a very sturdy, stable figure. It isn't quite as impressive as the Moon Gundam, but in my opinion, it is the best HG version of the RX-78-2 out right now and one of the best HG kits period. We'll see if that opinion changes when the Beyond Global version releases. Attached pictures are of my build, which has been painted in custom colors and decaled with after-market water decals (not included). They are intended to represent how the kit can look with some additional effort, rather than just building with what is in the box. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bandai Hobby - Gundam The Origin - #26 RX-78-02 Gundam (The Origin Ver.), Bandai Spirits HG 1/144 Model Kit - Bandai Spirits Hobby MS-06S Zaku II Char Aznable's Mobile Suit Gundam (Red Comet Ver.)
