Build 1.2 Gundam RX-78-2

"oi! what about me"

This is Gundam Aegis SD BB #261 Released in February 2004. My 2007 Christmas gift from Teresa. Not much to comment about her except that she's a mutant. Now as a reminder the Gundam RX-78-2 BB #329 was released in July 2009. So its about more than five years so I am curious to see what improvements Bandai (the company that makes these robots) have made.



I think i prefer cute gundams to the bigger ones. Colouring in the panel lines doesnt take long and not too many parts to put together. However, I have bought a big gundam... and Im not really looking forward to that one. Might just sell it, anyone interested in purchasing a Master Grade Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second Revise?



Plus I have three more cute little gundams that I bought last year and stored in a safe deposit box. I will be retrieving them as well. So at least this blog will remain for as least 4 more robots.



Head and upper body complete. I really like how this robot is looking like. Lots of detail. (6 parts for the head and 4 parts for the upper body).



Comparing shoulder articulation. To be fair Aegis was build the way it is because it transforms into a spacecraft as its gimmick. The RX-78-2's articulation is unusual as it is not a ball joint and I initially thought the pegs was part of the backpack so I coloured it :P but this type of joint gives it more degrees of movement.



So in a gym training session with Joe Tong, only the Aegis will be able to do chin ups whereas only the RX-78-2 can do Incline Flies

In case you didnt know. I love the gym!



and lastly is the gun with scope and shield which i forgot to take a picture of so thats why its included last. Like I said before, I love how this is coming together! This robot will give more poses and it has a bigger head too!
