RG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver 2.0

Bandai Gundam Model kit - RG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver 2.0

Overview

The RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0 represents a new milestone for the Real Grade line, combining origin-faithful design with the latest interpretation of articulation and internal structure.

Built around a newly developed inner frame inspired by a semi-monocoque construction, this kit allows builders to experience the “construction of a mobile suit” while achieving natural, human-like motion and a refined exterior finish.

This release fuses return-to-original design philosophy with modern engineering, pushing RG detail and articulation to a new level.

Personal Note (from Ah Chong)

This Ver.2.0 feels less like an update and more like a rethink of what RX-78-2 should be in the RG line. The focus on how joints actually move — instead of just adding more detail — really stands out here.

If you enjoy kits where articulation, structure, and design logic all work together, this one is worth taking your time with. It’s the kind of RG that rewards careful building and slow appreciation.
