The HGUC RX-78-2 — another retro-review! This granddaddy HG was released back in November of 2001! Released as kit # 21 in the then-new HG Universal Century line, this bad boy was state of the art for his time with crisp parts molded in separate colors and packaged with a number of accessories.
Just how does this old dog stand up to the current releases — and is it still worth buying nearly 20 years later? Watch to find out!

If any kits in this post are backordered when you read this, don’t worry — Bandai is great about restocking periodically. But, you’ll want to get your order in to secure a spot in line for the next restock!

More old gold! Looking forward to seeing the build of the original PG RX-78, I’ve only ever built the PG Wing Gundam Zero Custom, which was just awesome for its time! I’m sure good old RX-78 will be just as fabulous! XD

Dry spell in new kits? Not to fear, Retrobots aplenty to discuss.

I think old HG with bulkier design looks better.

I kinda like the colors on this one.

It has aged pretty well, to be honest.
