## Overview

The Bandai Hobby Plastic HGUC RX-78-2 Gundam Revive is a 1:144 scale multicolor model kit that revives the original Gundam with 1.5 times enhanced articulation for iconic poses. Crafted in Japan, it balances detailed complexity with beginner-friendly assembly, making it a must-have for both new and seasoned Gunpla enthusiasts.

## Description

The original Gundam, revived 35 years later! This new version of the first Gundam maintains roughly the same number of parts as its 2001 predecessor, but features 1.5 times more movability allowing easy reproduction of iconic poses from the Gundam TV series.

Review: Great beginning gunpla for anyone - NOTE: The pictures included were captured AFTER Panel Lining and some degree of colour correction. The straight out of box kit will not have black panel lines (and the kit does not include a display stand like shown in the picture) Pros: decent articulation, great weapon choices, relatively straightforward build Cons: Minimal colour separation, stickers look ugly. Definitely overpriced (but considering that it’s shipped from Japan, it kinda makes sense) Would recommend it for anyone new to gunpla or plastic model kit building hobby in general.
Review: Good for beginners

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first Gunpla !
*by S***L on 18 November 2023*

It's pretty awesome , took me around 3 hours to build . The only tool I needed was nippers . It won't stand well on its own , probably gonna need a stand . I haven't applied the stickers yet cause they are soo small it's crazy . Overall 5/5 , Small tip - use nail polish on loose joints
