SD Gundam EX-Standard #001 RX-78-2 Gundam brings the original Gundam into Bandai’s compact, highly stylised SDEX format. The EX-Standard line was first developed for overseas markets before reaching Japan in July 2016, combining sharper SD proportions with a noticeably wider range of motion than older basic SD kits.
The RX-78-2 includes its classic Beam Rifle, Shield and Beam Saber, while selected weapon and connection parts are designed to interact with compatible 1/144 HG Gunpla for mix-and-match customisation. Colour separation is simplified compared with a full HG kit, so the included foil stickers supply a significant portion of the finer colour detail.
