Product Description
Things don't get much better than this for Gundam fans. The kit that Bandai has produced is truly amazing. The most striking aspect is the incredible level of INNER detail. It's almost a shame to put any of the cover panels on this thing, because there is so much on the inside that a little silver and black paint will make very interesting to look at. Bandai is aware of this, and is also going to market an optional parts set for the kit that includes transparent body pieces! This is due in December, we're told. That set will also include a light-up beam saber. What can you say about this kit? Though some weapons are not included (no doubt for a later release), it's just about everything you could hope for in terms of detail and poseability. Even little actuators in some joints slide in and out like hydraulic pistons when you move them (wrists, etc.). What's more, a watch battery (CR1220) lights the eyes in the head, activated by a tiny switch on the back. Other gimmicks include wings on the core fighter which fold automatically when you tuck in the nose for docking. For a true Gundam hobbyist, there's simply no question about whether you should order this. Even if you don't plan on painting or gluing anything, you should prepare yourself for several evenings of snipping, trimming and snapping before your masterpiece will be completed. There are, after all, 626 parts on 23 runners which combine to form a model that stands nearly 31cm high and 13cm wide with 66 moving joints and 29 opening hatches. What fun!

big gundam
By P. Sweeney
I bought this for my 10-year old son and the following are his comments:My mom purchased this for me for Christmas. This is my first perfect grade Gundam. It's really fun to build and it looks really cool but I don't know how to make the eyes light up since I don't know how to read Japanese. The hydraulics and the inner frame are really awesome. The hydraulics are a nice shiny chrome color. It is very detailed. It assembles to about about 14 inches. It was hard to assemble the fingers and put inside the palm. It's cool that there are these openings to show some of the inside armor. Overall it's really awesome!!!

Perfect Grade & Is a perfect model also
By Yerstruly
2012-12-25 Well it took a while to finish but every step along the way start to finish was a real joy to build. The manual is very well done even for those like myself that can not read japanese. There is not one part on this model where I was disappointed. Be aware that you will have extra screws left over and you did not miss anything I was very careful about this point. Bandai just gives extras.You will need to buy a coin battery to make the eyes light up. The hands have separate fully articulated finger joints just like a person.You can pose this model in just about any pose a person could make. Yes this is a model but Bandai blurs the lines between model and fully articulated action figure.This is not my first Gundam model I have built but it was one of the more enjoyable ones to build. All and all a very solid build and an excellent representation of the RX-78-2 Gundam.
