Gundam Review: HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Revive

Good Evening guys!

If you've been following me on instagram or twitter, you'll know how awesome this kit I'm gonna review.

Does it even need an introduction? Well, probably, since not everyone who builds gunpla is familiar with the history or lore associated with it.

Long story short, this guy is the Grand Daddy Gundam, the white devil, the big kahuna, the one where most gundams in the UC timeline are based on.

Also, this is from Bandai's recent HG releases with the tagline "Revive" They pretty much do something every 5th and 10th anniversary of the series. 

This marks Bandai's 35th anniversary in the industry and as usual they release kits to associate this feat. The Revive line, as the name implies, upgrades some kits to today's standards, majority of the kits I saw are from the original MSG and Zeta series then they jumped to Seed/Destiny for some reason.

Anyway, let's discuss more in the review!

Gundam Review: HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Ver. G30th

Good afternoon guys!

So I said in my previous post that my HGUC 1/144 Unicorn Gundam is my last kit in the UC era... Well.... I lied XD

This is technically my first UC kit and my first RX-78-2 gundam that I got in my gunpla hobby run. I got him because the box art got my attention and also because I didn't  know there was an older HGUC variant.

My first HGUC kit and my 3rd oldest kit in my collection, it comes after my NG 1/144 Deathscythe Gundam and HG 1/144 Strike Noir Gundam.

After I built my Strike Noir, I can't help myself but to look for another kit I can build. Early gunpla builders can relate when you're just new into the hobby and the "poison" slowly consumes you.. LOL!

It's a fun hobby don't get me wrong that's why I can't contain myself from buying new kits even if I just built one.

Anyway, let's get on with the review!

Gundam Review: MG 1/100 Mobile Suit RX-79 [G] Ez-8

Good Afternoon everyone!

It's been a while since I built an MG kit out of the box that's why it took a while to make this post. It's a kit that has a special place in my heart because it's my top most favorite series in Gundam Universe. 

I love the Universal Century for how close it is to our timeline and the realistic aspects it has in the battlefield.

This particular mobile suit comes from a time during the One Year War. While Amuro and the gang in the White base are busy doing their stuff in space, these group is dealing with another issue back on earth.

I'm talking about the 08th MS Team, a ground team that carries out skirmishes and gathering intel for the Fedaration.

This team is headed by Shiro Amada, one of the most underrated pilots in my opinion. He's not a Newtype like Amuro but he does have natural talents to carry out their missions effectively.

I got this kit from one of my go to stores, Wasabi Toys, they have a lot of kits for a fair price so do check out their site if you wanna avail good prices! Membership is free so go now!

This kit is my comeback kit to the gunpla scene. I've been away for almost 3 years and I don't know what kit to get actually. Then I saw this kit in the shelves.. Just waiting there.
