HG 1/144 The Gundam Base Limited RX-78-2 Gundam [Metallic Gloss Injection]

The Original Gundam, Reborn in Metallic Gloss

The RX-78-2 Gundam is the machine that started it all — the legendary mobile suit piloted by Amuro Ray that turned the tide of the One Year War. This Gundam Base Limited edition reimagines the iconic HG kit in a stunning Metallic Gloss Injection finish, giving every panel a deep, mirror-like sheen that transforms the classic silhouette into a collector-grade showpiece. Exclusive to The Gundam Base, this is the definitive version of the original for any serious Gundam collector.

Key Features

Built on the refined HG 1/144 RX-78-2 framework, this kit delivers the iconic proportions and articulation of the original Gundam in a premium metallic finish. The Metallic Gloss Injection process applies a high-gloss, metallic sheen directly into the plastic during molding — no painting required — resulting in a rich, luminous color that catches the light from every angle. The blue, red, white, and yellow color separations are all faithfully reproduced in their respective metallic tones, maintaining the classic tricolor scheme while elevating it to display-quality standards.

Armament & Accessories

The kit includes the full standard RX-78-2 armament loadout:

• Beam Rifle
• Hyper Bazooka
• Beam Saber ×2 (with effect parts)
• Shield
• Hand parts (open, closed, weapon-holding)

Set Contents

• HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam [Metallic Gloss Injection] runner set
