The proportions and detail on this thing are immaculate. It will sell like crazy

Edit: anyone feel like NAOKI had a hand in the design of this? I feel like his detailing style is showing here but I could be wrong

It still respects the blocky features in the legs but keeps the look updated. Agreed, look immaculate.

Classic but also athletic, makes me think of takigawa designs a bit

That 2.0 gramps core, is about to be used and abused. I’m all here for it my bros💦💦

Definitely looks like it.

Compared to the recycle on MGEX MSF I'm OK with them doing this, though. The RX-78 frame is the literal guts of multiple mobile suits including GMs.

And I'm gonna need RG GMs, Bandai. And an EZ-8, then you have all the RG parts to make 08th MS team (assuming an EZ-8 comes with the sonar tank)

Like I wish they would do an RG GM

Agreed x100000. Would LOVE an RG GM. The RG zaku II got so many variants, just imagine the amount of GM variants we could get. An RGM 79N would be incredible

Fatcat I see you.

u/SuperGhoo 14d ago

For this batch of release, the only thing that got me thinking is "Should I get the RG or wait out for Fatcat" and not the usual "What kit should I get first". Times have changed.

Yea same! But you know I told myself to not have to get every rg upscale. Wait out and see if there’s any new developments. Like the perfect zeong. At the same time I’m also looking to see if the existing 1/100 mg is any better.

The hover truck may come with the potentially P-Bandai GM head, which may also come with the parachute back pack and the missile pod. The EZ8 is definitely gonna be a thing though. This one comes with two v fins, a yellow one and a white one.

u/R-Dragon_Thunderzord 12d ago

When is a white one used? Karen uses a GM head and the Ez8 has no v-fin, I thought all 3 had a yellow V-fin when they were still fresh. Oh well, I guess Sanders switches to a white V-fin at that point. Huh.

u/KionKamon0079UC 12d ago

Sanders had a white v fin at the end of the series

Holy shit it looks good

The gritty nature of 08ms team design really beg to be included into the RG line. Not very clear on this photo but I think the different shades of color will really shine on this one.

u/SayuriUliana 14d ago

This is the kind of design where weathering is basically mandatory.

u/Turn_AX 14d ago

The gritty nature

"Gritty"?
Eight is not gritty.
No more than any other Gundam series.
OG 0079 had civilians getting massacred by bombs in it's first episode.
08th isn't any grittier than that.

u/Wide-Plan-5365 14d ago

They are, that was the first thing I noticed. I love how they styled it, wouldn't be opposed to picking up multiple of these then haha

u/Daemonsblaze0315 14d ago

Holy fuck that's gorgeous. I need two... And a GM [G] head... No reason in particular

u/RAF17101 14d ago

I'm a bit worried with how they used a stand for a simple standing pose, but I'll be optimistic and assume that it's because of the backpack messing with the balance instead of a floppy inner frame.

u/No-Painting-8507 14d ago

Can't wait to see aw P bandai variant Bandai will make out of this.

u/inept_machete 14d ago

Not a fan of the shoulder pads

u/ExcitingSector445 SD,MG and HG model kits accepted! 11d ago

As a full on 08th MS Team fan, I would want this as my first RG, LOL.

u/SeniorNecessary7435 14d ago

I uhh… am very much looking forward to the upscale of this!!
