MG RX-78GP02A Gundam
Grade: MG
Scale: 1/100
Series: Gundam 0083
Barcode: 4573102635365
The MG 1/100 RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis" is a classic Master Grade plastic model kit released by Bandai in 1997 (one of the earlier entries in the MG line), depicting the RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Piloted by Anavel Gato (the "Nightmare of Solomon"), this prototype nuclear-armed mobile suit is infamous for its massive overkill armament and bulky, heavily armored design optimized for space combat and tactical nuclear strikes.
It stands around 18-19cm tall when built, with solid but dated engineering typical of late-90s MGs—pre-colored parts (no glue needed), good basic articulation, and a focus on recreating the suit's imposing, chunky silhouette. While stable and display-ready, it has limited poseability compared to modern MGs (e.g., stiff joints, blocky armor limiting dynamic stances), and many builders note it feels like a "giant HG" in complexity.
Key Features & Armaments
- Atomic Bazooka (Nuclear Tactical Bazooka) — The kit's star weapon: a massive, detailed launcher with a folding grip/stock; includes the iconic nuclear warhead (clear orange/red effect parts for the barrel glow).
- Large Shield — Oversized cooling/radiation shield that stores the bazooka on the back; features detailed inner mechanisms and mounting points.
- Beam Saber — Standard close-combat weapon stored on the backpack; includes effect parts.
- Vulcan Guns — Head-mounted; minor detailing.
- Backpack Thrusters — Large, blocky verniers with yellow accents for that classic 0083 look.
- Cockpit — Openable hatch with seated pilot figure (Anavel Gato).
- Markings — Stickers and decals for "02" numbers, EFSF/Federation logos, and warning panels.
Included Items
- RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis main body (fully articulated frame)
- Atomic Bazooka
- Large Shield (with storage gimmick)
- Beam Saber
- Anavel Gato pilot figure (seated)
- Foil stickers + marking sheet
- Instruction manual
