This is Amuro Ray's original mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam rebuilt from the ground up with unprecedented detail, featuring a multi-layered construction system that starts with a complete mechanical skeleton and builds outward through multiple armour layers. The PG Unleashed line introduces new engineering standards with over 90 points of articulation, colour-changing LED units, premium surface finishes, and a level of mechanical complexity that sets a new benchmark for what Gunpla can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed for advanced builders and features over 1,800 parts with complex multi-layer assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the PG Unleashed RX-78-2 apart is the revolutionary construction philosophy that mirrors actual mobile suit engineering. The build progresses through distinct layers: inner frame skeleton, mid-layer mechanical details, outer armour plating, and final surface details. Each layer reveals intricate mechanical systems including hydraulics, pistons, and structural frameworks that are fully visible through opening hatches and removable panels. The LED system features colour-changing capabilities controlled by a switch, illuminating the eyes, chest, and backpack with multiple colour options. This is best suited for experienced builders who appreciate engineering complexity and want the ultimate representation of the original Gundam in model form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Kit Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Layer Construction System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Revolutionary build process with separate skeleton, mechanical mid-layer, and armour plating that reveals internal details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver 90 Points of Articulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced joint system with ball joints, double joints, and sliding mechanisms for unprecedented posability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour-Changing LED System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated lighting for eyes, chest, and backpack with multiple colour modes controlled by switch (batteries required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Surface Finishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multiple finish types including gloss, matte, and metallic surfaces straight from the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpening Mechanical Hatches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chest, back, legs, and arms feature opening panels that reveal detailed internal mechanisms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Weapon Arsenal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beam rifle, hyper bazooka, two beam sabers with effect parts, shield, and multiple hand options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Fighter Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully detailed transformable Core Fighter with cockpit interior and landing gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Part Separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional colour accuracy with minimal stickers, premium moulding quality throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay Stand Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom PG Unleashed display base with adjustable support arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's In The Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRX-78-2 Gundam parts (multi-layer construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Rifle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyper Bazooka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Saber hilts x2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam Saber effect parts (clear pink)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore Fighter (transformable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED unit with colour-changing capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManipulator hands (multiple styles including weapon-holding, open palm, fists)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay stand (PG Unleashed custom base)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarking stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-slide decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: This kit includes a custom PG Unleashed display stand.

No glue required for snap-fit construction, though some builders use cement for added strength on small parts. Paint not required due to exceptional colour separation and premium finishes, though panel lining and detail painting will enhance the already impressive result. LED system requires AAA batteries (not included). Display stand included. This is a complex, time-intensive build recommended only for experienced builders. Small, delicate parts require careful handling. The multi-layer construction means parts must be assembled in specific order. Plan for 20-40 hours of build time depending on experience level and desired finish quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLast updated: 10 March 2026 (AEST)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bandai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36386682306716,"sku":"5060765","price":479.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/9503\/6974\/products\/pg-unleashed-gundam-box.jpg?v=1719751184","url":"https:\/\/mechaexpressaustralia.com.au\/products\/bandai-1-60-pg-unleashed-rx-78-2-gundam","provider":"Mecha Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
