Gundam RX78-2 Anniversary edition HG 1/144

So. This is wayyy overdue. Luckily for me i have some pictures of it in my phone. even though it's in storage somewhere far far away.

Overall. This is probably my most favourite Gunpla that i own. Every Gundam fan should have some model of the RX 78-2. And if you don't! this would be one that you would like to invest in.

Here's an example why it's so great, notice the particular attention to detail! and this is at the bottom of the feet mind you! Just imagine how good looking the rest of the parts are!

The Legs by itself. The gunpla poses great poseability, check out how articulated the joints are in the legs. I don't have a picture of the hands but the hands can pretty much move in any direction. Most gunpla at the 144 scale have stiff legs but this one is awesome. Also it can do a alsmot 90 degree spilt!

This is what all it's parts seperated looks like! The joy of making a gunpla!

Just like any Keroro Fan would, the head goes in at the last! yup yup.

Here's a posing shot, with all of his weapons! I have to admit it's not the best of angles. Hence why it's not on flickr. And here are more better looking shots!

Looks fantastic overall doesn't it? There's more pictures of it on Flickr! you can view them here.

Totally an awesome figure. Has tons of poseability and great articulation, Colours and details are great. And not to mention he has an awesome arsenal, bazooka, lightsaber, gun, shield and that chain hammer. The probably only downside is his lightsaber is a onepiece. If you collect gunpla you'll know what i mean! But this is a definite Must Have :)

my secret reborns gundam

so this is. *drum roll*
my first
ever
HG 1/144 scale gunpla! i really liked it.
but because it was my first.
it wasn't really built well.
so please don't judge. my first ever. remember. 1st. but i kinda made it look nicer after awhile. i dont have it with me. so i can't really take my updated pictures. but i will! eventually.
i dont paint my gundams cause
1. too expensive to buy painting equipment
2. time consuming
3. scared i will mess it up

well since it was the first one. i didnt bother taking shots of the process. but here is the final product!


next we have a close up of it.



here's the back view



now a look on the reborn's cannon
i didn't adjust the hands as i tot it was troublesome. but notice the feet.
i did adjust those!



and the close up.



generally.
this gunpla looks real nice. although it's legs are very stiff.and the hand movements are limited. so it doesn't posses much poseability

it can transform to reborn's cannon so it's not bad

for those who really like posing with your gundams. this one is definitely a no no.
nothing special about this gunpla.

overall rating. 6/10.

my secret life as a HG 1/144 gundam

since it's in the blog title. about time i write more about gunpla! yay!

after SD gundam obviously i went on to the harder stuff. High Grade models!
my first was ribbons gundam.
my gunplas might look crappy a bit as i dont paint over them. if i had the money and the time maybe i would. after looking at gunpla tutorials you see how hard it is they make gunplas. sanding down. painting. and all that. really takes a lot of time. so if i do post up pictures of my gunpla. dont judge me! im not as hardcore as you.

im quite excited that i bought the rx 78-2 ver.30th anniversary!



everyone that collects gunpla knows this is a must have gundam. the most classic gundam of all. even keroro gunso owns his own. from the looks of the series actually he probably has a million of them as he keeps breaking this model. but keeps having a new one.



and if you don't already own a rx78-2. this is a good catch. reviews of it say its a genuine steal.with it's better mobility and also this version of the HG includes gundam hammer.



doesn't look much like a hammer though. although there is a few dissapointed people that the beam saber is a single piece. but i don't think thats a worry.

anyway! my friend is coming down from korea. and the gunpla there seems cheap. and so much variety! so i decided to ask him to buy one for me. but which one. oh choices choices choices. lets have our readers (by that i mean reader, (singular)my girlfriend) decide!

but these are my shortlisted items!
char's zaku
and blu duel gundam
strike noir





let's see some votes!
