This kit is VERY fragile, and I even broke the right leg inner frame part (totally my fault for mishandling) so I bought a replacement part for it. And my copy's hip skirt armor falls off, and so does the back armor on the upper arm does after using the moving gimmick. Also, the weapons don't fit too well for the RX-78 to hold on my copy.
This kit is definitely dated for being the first ever RG. I don't blame it, but it is the first of its kind. I love RG so I had to build the first ever RG to compare. Bandai has stupendously made RG the new exciting kits to be realeased.
As of me typing this, the RG God Gundam has released and it has to be the best version of God Gundam to be created. So, it is amazing to see the growth and improvement to RG basically being the 1/144 scale Master Grades now.
All in all, wonder looking kit with awesome part separation but falls apart (at least on my copy.) M y RG Rx78 is definitely staying where it is and is not going to be posed for a while.
Even though I tend to prefer Zeon kits, RX-78 RG is dope and well worth the roughly $30 price point. Pay a smidge more than HG price but get a significantly better kit.
