This review is from: Gundam RX-78-2 Gundam Ver Ka MG 1/100 Scale (Toy)

I built and painted this model over the course of several weeks. In general the model leaves something to be desired. I have constructed several MG level kits including the ver. 1 and 1.5 RX-78-2 kits. If you're looking for a RX-78-2 kit the KA isn't a bad choice, but the ver. 2.0 is probably less frustrating and more rewarding.

Design: The overall look of the kit is good; the KA kit is significantly different than the other RX-78 versions and you receive a wide variety of dry transfer and regular decals.

Articulation: The articulation of this model leaves something to be desired especially around the shoulder, which is only a peg and Polycarp joint. The ankle joints also feel limited in their lateral adjustability. However all of the joints seem nice and stiff, the model has no problem holding a pose or grasping a weapon.

Seams: Unfortunately there are several prominent seams on this kit. Including the barrels of the hyper bazooka, the fore arms, and interior shoulders.

Color: Out of the box my white pieces seemed to have a yellow hue.

Inner frame: The inner frame of the chest and arms of this kit are practically nonexistent. The legs are well detailed, and you even receive a small length of woven nylon for the pipes of the back of the knee.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to the RX-78 family, July 14, 2010

I love the detail in this version of Gundam, even with out it's decals. Most people my age or younger may find it hard to enjoy this piece, seeing that it is very boxy and dated. However, seeing that the RX-78-2 is the granddady of all Gundams, for a collector it's a must have. The joins in the arms in legs have so far remained stiff, while having good flexibility. It's able to balance quite easy, I've had it in some goofy posses and I haven't had it fall over once. I think my favorite part of the kit has the be the core fighter. It's a very nice touch, and even comes with a core block, so you can display the core fighter. There are still a few things I don't like about the kit, but they are small, and I have to take into fact that it's a redesign. The gold cross is removed form the shield, the eyes are green, not yellow, the targeting scopes are just clear, and not yellow (yes, I'm missing all the yellow). However, I'm still happy and impressed to add this one to my collection, and it was a great build for my girlfriend and I.
