I tried assembling ``ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam'' which can easily build an elaborate Gundam at 700 yen level

From September 2020, the RX-78-2 Gundam has been added to the '

ENTRY GRADE ' series developed by Bandai as 'a plastic model that anyone can easily and easily make using a puzzle.' First of all, it is conditional on pre-sale in Gundam Base Tokyo/Fukuoka, but I was worried that it would be called a 'Plastic model kit that allows you to experience a new sense of assembly', so I actually acquired it and tried to assemble it.

The box looks like this.

This is a product for all 'people who touch the gunpla for the first time, people who assemble gunpla after a long time, people who love gunpla all the time.' In addition, there is no need for finishing painting or sticking stickers.

Contents are instruction manual and runner only.

There are two multicolored runners and two white monocolored runners. Speaking of Gundam, the impression is tricolor, but if you look at it this way, there are not many blue parts.

I don't need any preparation, so all I have to do is separate the parts according to the instructions. Parts can be removed from the runner with a little force.

Combine in this way...

The head is completed.

There is a joint not only on the waist but also on the abdomen, which allows it to bend slightly forward, backward, left and right.

Set the shoulder joint.

The upper body is completed. There is no procedure such as “fixing the parts while sandwiching them”, so if you proceed according to the instructions, there will be no jams.

Assemble the leg parts in the same way and combine with the waist.

The body is completed by combining the upper body and the lower body.

The runners are still armed.

If you assemble a rifle and a shield and have it, it will be completed this time. The production time was less than an hour while shooting.

On Twitter, there was a tweet that I made it in less than 15 minutes outside.

EG Gundam, this is dangerous.
I was able to set up by waiting outside.
It takes about 15 minutes or less.
You don't need any tools and you only need some space.
Even after assembling, you can pose and paint with missing colors.
With this, you can cut 1,000 yen, so the entry grade is like 'A new Bandai product?' !!

It will be a picture even if you stand without deciding this figure.

The back side looks like this.

Although there is a limit to how much the joint can open to the left and right, it opens considerably compared to when it is upright.

There is no problem with kneeling. The details on the bottom of the foot are also reproduced, so it's also a good point to not worry about the pose where you can see the bottom of the foot.

It looks like this when it is the last shooting pose.

You can also put your hand on the beam saber that is attached to your shoulder. However, since the beam saber included in the kit is only a handle, you need to manage the blade separately if you want to hold it in your hand.

The great thing about ENTRY GRADE is that you can easily and inexpensively get the excitement that a gunpla packed with various ways of enjoying is completed in your hand. Even if you have little experience in plastic model production, or if you are worried whether you can make it after a long time, it is a model that can be completed without worrying at all, but if you are familiar with gunpla, you can use it as a base for various arrangements It was an easy existence, and it was a Gundam with the impression that it might have set a new standard.

'ENTRY GRADE 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam' is on sale from September 4, 2020 (Friday) in Gundam Base Tokyo and Fukuoka in advance. The price is 770 yen including tax.
