      GRANDADDYGUNDAM!!!!!!

      The best master grade RX-78-2 Gundam! This kit is awesome and is in my opinion better than the 3.0 however I recommend you get both. My one problem is the hands, they are out of scale (they are from the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka) and for me they broke in the first day but it is still awesome.

      Best MG Grandaddy

      For my money, the best MG RX-78-2 currently on the market. I built this fella a few years back, and he's held up quite well on my shelf, although he lost a finger along the way from improper handling. Great kit!

      Awesome!

      First gramps and first MG. I really enjoyed the larger scale and could fit all the custom LED electronics inside of the chest cavity with some trimming.

      My first MG, I truly had fun... But I dislike the hands

      Articulated hands is a really great idea but in exaction its frustrating at best and enraging at worst, trying to pose them wasn't fun they really like to fall off hit the floor and end up who knows where. I truly would have preferred stagnant hands at the very least as an option. Other than the hands it has a fun build with a excellent amount of detail and features its like a action figure. But the hands and trying to pose them with any weapons left a really sower taste in my mouth.

      One of the bests

      This kit is very fun and great for a beginner in the sense of they are starting a build. It is a literal upscaled version of an entry-grade RX78-2. If you were to go with an RX ver.3.0. I suggest not to, unless you are hoping for an intricate build, if you just want a fun nice time then choose the GTO.

      I did have trouble with the thigh pieces and had to cement them together to stay on, as well I wish you had more options to make him uniform and not so asymmetrical.
