MG Gundam Ver. 2.0 Sample

There's still some time before the official release of the highly anticipated MG Gundam Ver. 2.0, but some lucky folks in Japan are working on the early release samples of that kit. Let's have a look at what this MG has to offer:

Mokei_MG_GundamVer2_10_s Mokei_MG_GundamVer2_11_s
Mokei_MG_GundamVer2_12_s
Nicely molded parts for the Core Fighter which emphasize on minimum parting lines. Then again, this isn't exactly new anymore eh? ^^;

Since Ver. OYW doesn't have a Core Fighter system, and the one in Ver. 1.5 uses the same one from the very first MG, the Core Fighter goes through a huge improvement in Ver. 2.0. For example the missile launcher adapted from the PG version, details of the thrusters ...

...plus the ability to adjust the pilot seat to face the cockpit hatch after the transformation. Not to mention all the colors are molded as well.

Comes with a little transparent for the Core Fighter itself.
The best so far? You bet! ^^

The 'typical' Ver. 2.0 construction manual - black border around the image from the box art. A very 80's styled illustration this time, but no kidding, it'll be very close to how the assembled RX-78-2 is going to look like XD
This is also the first Gundam's bazooka (also used by GM) to come with the white parts.

Also, some updates on another MG I'm not getting: XD Zaku Cannon from Model Graphix August issue.
