The RX-78-2 returns in Bandai's HG 1/144 Beyond Global release, celebrating forty years of Gunpla heritage. This version keeps the iconic profile while integrating modern joint engineering. The build process is rewarding and the finished model is well proportioned for display in limited shelf space.
The Beyond Global model uses clever joint geometry to expand motion. The torso allows more forward lean and the neck has improved swing for natural head orientations. Thigh articulation increases leg reach and the ball joint wrists give freedom for gripping weapons or positioning the shield with confidence.
Following Kunio Okawara's original concept, this incarnation refines proportions for a more realistic stance. Chest and hip mechanisms permit forward and rear movement to support dynamic silhouettes, and the rear skirt is engineered to move further for cleaner leg motion.
The included beam rifle, shield and pair of beam sabers cover typical armament, while a foil seal sheet adds crisp markings. These components pair with the articulated frame to let builders stage classic scenes or invent new compositions without heavy kitbashing.
Bandai 5058205 HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Beyond Global is a well executed High Grade that balances classic design and modern articulation for compact displays and active posing.
