This Gunpla/Plamo is exclusively sold at events, bundled with Hobby Magazines/Video Games, released as a campaign prize, a gift from the Advanced Tickets purchased from Japanese cinemas, or a Standard-release limited item.

The RX-78-2 Gundam (Workshop Kit Ver.) is a 1/144 scale kit released in 2016.

Includes[]

  • RX-78-2 Gundam
  • Beam Rifle

Kit Features & Gimmicks[]

Articulation[]

  • The head can swivel on a single ball-and-socket neck joint connection.
  • The shoulder joints can slightly lift upwards.
  • Only the shoulder armors can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint connection, as the arms themselves are molded to the same piece.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • Though built with the double-jointed-style construction, the elbows and knees can only be bent up to 90 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The waist can rotate on a peg-and-socket joint, though in an extent due to being hindered by skirt armors.
  • Though hindered by the non-poseable skirt armors, the upper thighs can only swing back and forth (in a limited extent) on an upwards-angled peg-and-socket joint.
  • The ankles can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint in a very limited manner.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks[]

  • The Beam Rifle can be wielded by either of the hand parts, though the default position is on the right.

Tips & Tricks[]

  • For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color Paints.
  • Top coat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.

Availability[]

The Gunpla is first released as an attendee item for the (now-closed) Gundam Front Tokyo's "Gunpla Assembly Trial" event starting from late March 2016. The Gunpla would later see further release for various future Gunpla-based events.

Variants[]

  • Since 2020, the Gunpla is released on a newly-designed horizontal packaging.
  • 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam (Workshop Kit Ver.) (Ecopla)
