    It was only a matter of time, and we're honestly surprised it took this long! After 14 years of the Real Grade line pushing engineering boundaries in 1/144 scale, we're getting the first true 2.0 release of the first ever RG! This kit looks to take all the stellar engineering seen in the PG Unleashed and cram it down from 1/60 to 1/144 scale for one of the most detailed products you've ever seen. We also have a feeling that all of the panel pop-off issues from the original kit will be a thing of the past thanks to over a decade of Bandai engineering advancements!

    • The latest designed internal frame is inspired by a semi-monocoque structure, allowing you to relive the construction of a mobile suit.
    • The joint structure, which returns to the original design, has adopted a new structure in which "the parts that look like joints bend properly" by reinterpreting the movable axis.
    • The legs are a reconsideration of the "hand-to-hand combat MS Gundam" and use composite frame joints to draw an outline similar to that of a human when it moves.
    • Details are engraved on parts that are not visible from the outside, such as joints and the backs of parts. It has a seamless design that eliminates conspicuous mounting holes and integrates it with the design.
    • The intricately colored head is thoroughly reproduced by color-coding by molding color. Details have been added down to the smallest details such as the twin eyes, main camera, magazine drum, and cheek duct.
    • Panel lines that reflect the support from the mechanism are divided into functional blocks. It is designed with the image of the actual dividing line in mind.
    • The exterior design is a fusion of the latest interpretation and a return to origins, not only by adding small details, but also by taking into account the overall shape of each part, such as the edges and curved surfaces. By composing the white body with two-tone molding colors, the amount of information (≒ shading) as a three-dimensional object is fully produced.
    • Core Fighter can be transformed into Core Block. In addition to reproducing the proportions of the aircraft form, the newly developed auxiliary joint gimmick is built into the compact core block, contributing to the realization of free posing of the Gundam.
    • As an RG original gimmick, the chest armor covering the cockpit opens and closes up and down.
    • Accessories: Beam Rifle, Bazooka, Shield, Beam Saber x 2, Interchangeable hand x 7, Landing gear parts for core fighter

      A must have for Universal Centry Gundam fans

      Best classic Gundam I ever built. The design is fantastic. Articulation is better than any Gundam model kit I ever built. If you miss it, you don't know what you missed. This is a must have model for people who are fans of Universal Centry Gundam kits.

      Great Model Kit of the Classic Gundam!

      The RG RX-78-2 2.0 is an amazing kit. I have both this and the original rg kit and the 2.0 surpasses the first rg kit. Great inner frame and I like how some pieces of the inner frame are visible after the armor is on. Glad this kit can hold everything properly instead of having parts come off like the shield and shoulder pieces.

      Beyond impressed. A new standard bearer.

      It's an instant classic. Build is a blast. It's rock solid, and the mechanics are some of the best in gunpla, not just for 1/144. It's truly the embodiment of 'Real Grade' they set out to achieve over a decade ago. I am amazed at how they were able to do this at the 1/144 scale when even some of the more recent MGs dont achieve the same. For less than or within a few dollars of most MGs, the value is almost unbelievable.

      Most of all, the build is so much fun, I never wanted it to end. I haven't had that feeling in a long time, and I certainly cant believe I am saying that about an RG. I got it on release day, and started the kit right away. I looked up and realized I had stayed up way past my bed time.

      The 1.0 made me avoid RGs for years. and since building this I have gone out and grabbed RG Zeong, Nu, and Sazabi. I dont expect them to be quite as good as this, but I realized I had missed out on a lot of decent RG kits.
