    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

      Perfect start into Gunpla!

      This kit was my first HG kit and it was a real great kit to start with. The finished model was great and the added panel lining with the Gundam marker adds a real pop to it. The included instructions are all in Japanese but with enough pictures it was easy to understand and it even added some tips on extra detailing and effects to this or any other Gunpla you plan on building! I would highly suggest this to any person thinking about giving the world of Gunpla a go.

      My first build!

      I highly recommend this kit, though I don't have much to compare it to.This is the first Gunpla I've ever purchased and built, it was very fun and even though the instructions were in Japanese it was easy to follow the pictures.

      In total it probably took me around 12 hours to build and do the panel lining. Though I think I could do it in about half the time if I wasn't panel lining as I went along (using the pen this kit comes with to fill in the details on the model).

      Shipping was fast and they even processed my order on labor day, which I was not expecting.

      A good Kit for the price!

      I haven't put it together yet but I did look at the parts and it looks like no painting is really required (which I like).

      sweet detail

      I was happy to get the maker and the booklet, I am not a beginner but this starter kit was still a good buy, and still had a tip or two I didn't know, the level of detail was better then I thought and learning about the marker liner has made it look way better then it just being plan with out the lines

      Best RX-78-2 HG to customize

      Comparing this particular incarnation of the RX-78-2 to the revive, as someone who enjoys painting and panel lining, this is my favorite.

      The articulation isn't as great as the revive. There are only single joints, meaning you can only bend up to 90 degrees with your arms and a little bit more with the legs, and the stomach doesn't bend forward or back.

      If you're an actual beginner, and you want to get a taste of the gunpla hobby, you're probably better off with the new HG Revive, which requires a little less work, and has a better weapon selection
