HG 1/144 Gundam RX-78-2 Ver. G 30th Review & Gundam 30th Anniversary Official Book

The review on HG 1/144 Gundam RX-78-2 Ver. G 30th from Gunpla Secret Factory has come to Part 4, on the leg and waist:



Pretty simple part separation for the leg unit.


Elaborately detailed parts for the knee and ankle joints.


Double insertion type thigh joint ^^


The pelvis joint can rotate as well.


The body can bend back and forth, thanks to the ball-type joint used for the waist.


Without the bazooka assembled, the complete model is enough to show the statue currently on show at Shiokaze Park ^^
