PG Unleashed 1/60 No.01 RX-78-2 Gundam

The RX-78-2 Gundam headlines the Perfect Grade Unleashed 1/60 line, a comprehensive re-engineering of the original mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam.

Its GUNPLA EVOLUTION LINK SYSTEM uses a staged build — through phases of assembly, articulation, structure, exterior and presentation — that simulates constructing a real mobile suit and condenses the latest Gunpla engineering into each stage. One of the largest insert frames in Gunpla history, with legs around 180mm long, brings the full skeletal frame together earlier than on any previous PG, and more than ninety movement axes are set across the body, with a Core Block torso combining forty of them. A multi-layered truss frame uses metallic moulding colours and plated parts for four kinds of metallic sheen, backed by three secondary finishes of silver, matte and chrome plating, along with metal parts and newly developed etching stickers, plus the most full-body hatch-open gimmicks yet seen in Gunpla. A new LED unit lights the model: a compact RGB twin-lamp LED allows colour changes while an efficient light-guide design balances movement with illumination, and a minute lighting unit inside the 1/60 beam sabre produces a vivid gradient glow as though a beam were issuing from the hilt. Included are a beam rifle, two beam sabres and an LED beam sabre, a shield, Core Fighter, the RGB LED unit, four figures (Amuro standing and seated, and Sayla standing), metal thruster and vulcan parts, a magnet unit, and marking, etching and metallic 3D sticker sheets. Lighting the LEDs requires one BR435 and two LR41 batteries, all sold separately.
