Action pose 2As I mentioned previously (I think), the articulation of this kit is by far the best as compare to the rest of my collection. Of course, it can't be compare to my other kit i.e. MG Strike Freedom or even MG Unicorn Gundam because they're all made differently with different emphasis.
RX-78-2 Gundam is the first Gundam appeared in TV screen back in the year 1979 (or 1980), and its pilot is Amuro Ray, the first notorious Gundam pilot (to the opposing site of course) that has become a legend in the Universal Century (UC) time line. If you would like to know more, try to google it, and you'll be able to find a lot of resources related to Gundam.
For starter, the first Gundam story is set in Universal Century, a time line denotes the era of space colonization, where human have started to move and live in space colony around the earth. Then, a war breakout between the people living in the space colony against the earth federation, which I don't really know much about the detail so please google it. The 2 factions are Earth Federation and Zeon. Gundam is the first humanoid machine made by the Earth Federation to go against the Zeon's mass production humanoid machine called Zaku II. Amuro Ray, the hero of this first series, came to pilot the Gundam accidentally and that would eventually leading him to become the main pilot of the machine. His main rival is Char Aznable, another popular character from the Universal Century timeline, known as the "Red Comet".
So that's all for this time. Next, I'll be explaining why do I have this Phase 3/Stage 3 coding.
