EG #01 RX-78-2 Gundam

ENTRY GRADE #01 RX-78-2 Gundam distils the original Mobile Suit Gundam hero machine into a fast, beginner-friendly 1/144 build without sacrificing the articulation expected from a modern Gunpla. Bandai’s Entry Grade engineering uses a low parts count, colour-separated construction and an intuitive runner layout so the model can be completed cleanly without glue, paint or conventional marking stickers.

The parts use touch gates, allowing most pieces to be removed from the runners by hand without nippers. Despite the simplified construction, the shoulders, torso, hips, knees and ankles provide a wide posing range. The Beam Rifle and Shield are included as standard equipment, and the Shield can also be mounted on the backpack. Two Beam Saber handles are moulded for the backpack, but this standard release does not include clear Beam Saber effect blades.
