      It's a limited edition MG RX-78-2 2.0 that came with a custom federation cell phone and base. It also has a metal inner frame and has the same visual aesthetic as the MG RX-78-2 3.0, but without the multiple shades of white, red, and blue.

      http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/mif/mif_p.htm Here's some pictures of it.

      Because sooner or later, people will forget 'bout that character. No one will remember him in the next 5 years. Or maybe, he'll only be remembered by 00 fanboys...

    Hey dude... actually, Furuya-sensei is a real person. A real human being. Not a sci-fi real robot anime character.

    If your argument is true, then i can say "Happy Birthday to the greatest "Athena no Seinto" ".

    Gotcha?
