GUNDAM - HGUC 1/144 - RX-78-2 Gundam - Model Kit

Experience the foundational myth of the saga with the HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam (Revive Version). The iconic model kit par excellence, this kit represents the legendary "White Base" piloted by Amuro Ray during the One Year War in the original 1979 series, Mobile Suit Gundam. Completely reinvented for Gunpla's 35th anniversary under the modern High Grade Universal Century (HGUC) line, this historic model boasts beautifully slender proportions, increased stability, and vibrant colors.

The Earth Federation's complete classic arsenal

The HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam shines with its cutting-edge engineering that allows it to recreate its legendary combat profile and its most famous weapon gimmicks:

• The Beam Rifle and Shield: The arsenal includes the famous Beam Rifle with its movable yellow front grip and scope, as well as the large red and white protective shield that can be held in hand or attached to the back.
• The Hyper Bazooka: The kit's destructive heavy weapon, the bazooka can be firmly grasped for shoulder-firing poses or neatly clipped onto the rear skirt to free up the mecha's hands.
• The Beam Sabers: The kit provides two Beam Sabers equipped with their translucent pink energy blades, whose hilts fit functionally into the backpack.

This 1/144 scale model demonstrates all of Bandai's modern expertise in simplified yet ultra-efficient articulation. Thanks to the "Revive" design, the RX-78-2 can perform iconic poses previously impossible at this scale, such as crossing its arms to draw a saber from its back or kneeling with perfect flexibility. The color separation on the mass-injected plastic parts almost entirely eliminates the need for stickers. True to the Snap-Fit principle, assembly is entirely without glue or paint for a clean, neat finish ready to be displayed on your shelves.
