    During the postwar years the Federation received information that the Zeon remnants could have been developing mobile suits with nuclear capabilities. As a countermeasure, the Federation decided to develop a nuclear capable mobile suit of their own, and the result was the RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis. The Gundam had to be bulky enough to handle a nuclear armament, a fact that resulted in one of the most intimidating Gundam designs in the UC timeline. That massive and imposing appearance has been recreated in this kit, which features the giant bazooka, beam sabers, and a shield that can store the bazooka inside!

    Collectibles and Figures Guide

    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

    Storage for Extra Parts: Some figures come with interchangeable hands, faces, or accessories. Store them in labeled bags or small containers to prevent loss.


    What you need
    Display:

    Some figures include stands, but others may require an additional stand for better stability.
    Recommendation: Action Base 5

    Protective Cases:

    If you wish to keep your collectibles in pristine condition, consider using acrylic display cases or protective boxes.

    Camera:

    Use a good camera or smartphone with proper lighting, like a ring light or softbox, for clear and detailed photos.

      An impressive fossil begging for a remake.

      This is a very old kit, and it shows its age in just about every respect. It's fairly solid at the cost of any functional poseability, which extends to an inability to properly hold any of its equipment without careful posing or modification. The old plastic is unpleasant to handle, as well. That said, if you can get past its age, you've got a really impressive beast of a Gundam with a great presence. Let's just hurry up with that 2.0, okay?

      For the love of Gato

      This model is old and dated. trust me, we all know already. chances are.. there will be a Stardust Memory Revival and this will probably mean there will b e Ver. Ka models for the GP boys. But if you don't want it wait for that or you like the Anime portions of the old MGs this is the one for you. He CANNOT hold the shield, it will fall every time so you need to stand it up next to him. I ran a 3MM rod through his left arm so he can hold the shield. the legs are awesome and the rest of the body is kind of lacking. the Head is actually really nice and there are a lot of different parts for color seperations. There will be a Gundam Planet Review for this on our youtube so keep an eye out for that!
