  1. Core fighter, weapons and shield are pretty much remolds from the RX-78 2.0.
    Only difference is colour ofthe plastic and modified peg system for the 3.0 hands.

    1. well, what did you expect?

      there are only a handful of ways you can build a weapon until you find yourself running around in circles.

    2. Just remember how many kits they've trotted out the same Gundam Hammer mold for.

  2. Looks sturdy, for an MG.

    1. what the hell is that supposed to mean

    2. Means; MG models are not sturdy; weight issue, easy wear and tear.

      Need more explanation?

    1. no its not rip off. It's a mg. Sure the outer design maybe like the real grade, but everything on the inside isn't and that's what will separate them besides sizes. So if you still think it's a ripoff then just don't pay attention to it.

    2. Blown up RG? you little cuntfaced fucktard, this thing is a scaled down from the 1/1 gundam in Odaiba

    3. Ripoff? You little Cocksucking faggot, you know whats a rip-off? SEED/ SEED DESTINY AND AGE! FUCKING AGE

    4. I come here for the pictures and stay to read the people who write like they just learned curse words exist.

    5. You guy sure do love to curse each other.

    6. @Kaishou: welcome to the internet, where you can throw all of your morals, etiquette, and logic out the window.



      on a different note, i'm not digging those gold stickers too much, too many bends.

      Delete
    7. I laugh at people who say series such as SEED and AGE are rip-offs. Silly people...

  4. I like this kit so far. I have mg v2.0 and rg 1/144. I personally would like an mg 1/100 based on 1/1 gundam statue - so I'm not so much miffed that it does look like an rg 1/144 [since both are based on the 1/1 statue]. From what I can see so far the inner frame of the torso looks more like the mg v2.0. If it's inner frame is as good if not better than the mg v2.0's then the build will be more fun compared to building from the thin skeletal frame of the rg 1/144.

  5. I like the mechanism of MG RX-78 Ver 2.0 but dislike the design, and the RG design looks more appealing to me. And look what we have here now.

  6. I want a simpler look. You can still have all those separating parts but get rid of the excessive panel lines! Also, the way the knees split is just stupid. Completely impractical, they should have gone with something like the GM 2.0's knee, where there's a secondary knee guard under the shin armor.

    1. Agree, RG/MG3 style is way too excessive. I think the top was reached with OYW gundam! Bandai gimme an hguc Ver.Ka Rx-78 or a MG Ver.Ka Rx-78 and let's forget rx-78 for at least 8 years to go on with other ms!

      Delete
    2. there is a MG ver ka rx-78,i think they should of made the rx-78-2 from gundam origin

      Delete
    3. Well, the ver 2.0 already gives you a simpler look? I, for one, am excited about the high level of detail (especially the panel lines)!

      Delete
    4. Ver 2.0 was TOO simple. I like the Katoki version, too bad they won't remake it.

      Delete
  7. Is it just me or they have clear plastic for the boosters/verniers? It alone puts it way OVER 2.0/RG

    Light up jetpack ftw.

    1. yeah it says nozzle something something then clear parts something something so ah yeah!

  8. This will be my first RX-78-2 Gundam I build. After some researching I was close to buying the 2.0 but once this was announced I pre-ordered it along with the expansion set. The 3.0 appeals to me more than the other versions.

  9. If Bandai is so insistent on metallic copper/silver detailing on the RGs, why wouldn't they opt to mold those parts in the appropriate colors for the MG instead of giving us stickers? We know they can do a reasonably good job with metallic-looking plastics.

    1. To keep the cost down?

      Delete
    2. My thoughts exactly. I probably won't bother with the metallic stickers, because when I used those things on my RG Aile Strike, the metal finish just starts to rub off with a little bit of friction and some scratches.

      Delete
    3. to give us the option to use them. I never applied those stickers in the RGs I've built.

      Delete
    4. But this is a "Big Deal"(tm) kit, one would think they'd try to go slightly more all-out. And besides, look how many colors the damn thing is already molded in, I don't think one more would put them that far over budget.

      Delete
  10. I wonder if those copper stickers will suck as much on the MG as they do on the RG?

  11. Pacific Rim is out! Mecha fans unite!

  12. well...... got a bit dissapointed at those foil stickers. thought those parts were already molded in that color. hahaha

    ReplyDelete

    1. I agree I thought the same as well. I won't be using those foil stickers I'll just paint those areas copper.

      Delete
  13. Though isn't it nice all those 'metal' parts are in separate pieces? Easier to paint for those who choose not to opt on the stickers

  14. Screw the watermarks. Hope gginfinte folds up.

    1. Uh look again there isn't any watermarks on these pics. The text on these weren't placed by gundamguy. Your posts have grown old for the longest time now.
