## Description

Introducing the HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam based on the latest format. The HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam released in 2001 has almost the same number of parts, but the movable parts are more than 1.5 times more than the number of parts in the market while improving ease of assembly. You can pose it in impressive poses like an animation. Runners use a wedge gate to make the gate mark less noticeable. The placement of the runners has been taken into account for ease of assembly, and the details of the aircraft are reproduced with a detailed mold. The double joints of the elbows and knees allow you to recreate a single knee standing or pulling the beam saber. The waist can rotate left and right and forward, and the shoulder can be moved up and down. You can freely pose it in the movie, such as a last shooting or holding a rifle with both hands. Includes a beam rifle, beam saber, and a hyper bazooka that can be mounted on the waist. Weapon handles (left and right), and flat hand parts (left and right) allow for a variety of expressions. Accessories: Beam rifle x 1, Hyper bazooka x 1, shield x 1, beam saber x 2, fist (left and right) x 1 each, flat hand (left and right) x 1 each. Product Contents: Molded parts x 5, foil sticker x 1, assembly instruction manual x 1. (From desertcart.co.jp)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hey, i'm a beginner, i never built one before is this a good start for me ? if so what other supply's do i need !**
A: This set is a very a good starting kit for beginners, as are most High Grade kits. For all gundam kits the main essentials you need are a pair of "tweezers," to place the stickers on to the kit and a pair of "wire cutter pliers," for cutting out the Gundam's parts (do not use scissors). Lastly, the 3 main Grades, High "HG"(beginner), Master "MG"(intermediate), and Perfect "PG"(professional), come with colored parts so you do not need to add any paint unless you want to add more details, but i prefer to have the kits look how it is eight out of the box. No glue is required :D

**Q: is it include display stand?**
A: I'm sorry display stand is not included

**Q: Do the instructions come in English**
A: While the instructions are in Japanese, the runners are all marked using the English Alphabet and the pieces on each of those are marked with universal numbers(1, 2 etc...) So in the instructions it will show a diagram where the pieces are marked with, for example, A1 and the picture will have guiding arrows for how to connect it to whatever piece it's supposed to connect to. So as long as you know the English Alphabet, the rest is all pictures.

**Q: I heard that they eyes actually have a clear piece for the eyes, is this true?**
A: Yes the eyes are cast in a clear yellow plastic. They provide normal eye stickers to cover the piece or silver stickers to apply to the back of the eyepiece. However, you have to add the black lining around the eyes for the second option.
