## Description

Product Description Kabushiki-gaisha Bandai is a Japanese producer of many plastic model kits as well as a former video game company. Some ex-Bandai group companies produce anime and tokusatsu programs. All bandai kits are precision crafted and provide a stimulating building experience. Wether you want a quick super fun SD build to display, or all the class and scale brought by Master Grade Series, Bandai has a model for you! From the Manufacturer The original Gundam, the RX-78-2 appears again to celebrate the combined technological and artistic advancements in the Master Grade line since its release 5 years ago. This 3.0 is based on the giant statue present at the Gundam Front Tokyo exhibit in Japan and features its characteristic multi-tone colors. With the goal of having an intricate movement system in the arms and legs with sliding hatches and the individually articulated fingers of Emotion Manipulator SP first used on the Nu Ver. Ka, the Gundam 3.0 features unprecedented expressive movement and exterior surface detail. Core Fighter from the Gundam 2.0 is included and features show accurate transformation and can be substituted for a core block to make use of the Gundam's new LED feature (sold separately). Numerous markings are also included to replicate its current appearance in real life.

Review: Amazing gunpla model - I would recommend buying some metallic copper paint and brushes to paint the copper on instead. https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B00ASCMXKA?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Most of the copper stickers they give you are perfectly fine but the thin ones for the inner elbows that are visible are horribly annoying to put on even with tweezers. Painting the elbow joints where the thin stickers go is far better option since that is an area that is quite visible and the paint will probably last longer than the stickers. Other than that this is one of the best MG gunpla models out there. It comes with a ton of stuff like 2 beam sabers, a rocket launcher, beam rifle, shield, and a core fighter that can go inside the gundam. My favorite thing about this is when you put the hands together because the articulation on it is absolutely insane. You will just sit there for a few minutes admiring the fact the hands are all casted together yet they have independently moving digits on each finger that you don't have to assemble.
Review: This is an awesome kit! For being the grand daddy of all ... - This is an awesome kit! For being the grand daddy of all gundams this kit doesn’t disappoint even with it’s simplistic design. There’s some nice color seperation, great articulation and a lot of good details and panel lining opportunities. It was definitely fun to build. The arms are a bit tricky at the joints. For some reason one of the joints in the right arm keep popping out, but thankfully you don’t really bend the arm all the way for most poses so it’s not so bad. Also the copper stickers are a pain and tend to fade or scratch off if you keep adjusting them. I’m gonna paint those areas eventually. But other than those minor issues i have no major complaints and the kit still deserves 5 stars from me. Oh, and of you watch the movie “Ready Player One” you’re in for a treat!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mastergrade 3.0 MEANS something.
*by M***K on April 27, 2020*

Ok, hard choice for a first Mastergrade, so I reccomend picking something older first - this kit had some TINY pieces, so it's just good to have a flow in mind and snip with confidence. On the other hand, directions here are top notch, and this kit is CLEARLY a new gen of Mastergrade. There is nothing lacking here. The kit does NOT need paint. Multiple shades of plastic leave it looking really interesting once assembled. Panel line and the kit pops! But it doesn't NEED it either. Posing is 10/10, hands are amazing, weapons aren't dull. I'm really hoping we get more MGs like this. Some of the RG 1/144 are as good (looking at you Sazabi), but this is absolutely the best kit I've made. If you're going to do the quintessential RX-78, in 1/100 or 1/144, this is the kit.
