MG Gundam Ver.2.0 Real Type Color - Together with the Gundam Real Type Color that came in the MG G-Armor: Real Type Color

Together with the Gundam Real Type Color that came in the MG G-Armor: Real Type Color.
Basically the same kit from molded colors right down to the decals.

Together with the old 1/100 Real Type Gundam released in 1982.

Together with the MG RX-78 Gundam Ver.2.0 that this kit is based on.

Together with the limited release RX-78 ver. O.Y.W. Okawara Kunio version.

This kit is the MG Gundam Ver.2.0 Real Type Color, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. Compared to the standard release MG RX-78 Gundam Ver.2.0, the molded colors have been changed and wet decals have been added. To be more precise, it's essentially the Gundam Real Type Color that was included in the standard 2009 release of the MG G-Armor: Real Type Color , now sold separately.

So all the features are identical to the MG G-Armor: Real Type Color — same molded colors, same decals and everything. True to the Real Type style, there's quite a bit of wet decal work involved, but once you get them on, the result is a pretty rewarding look. Beyond that, the weapons and accessories for the MG Gundam Ver.2.0 are all included as well, and it still shows off the excellent articulation, joint strength, and gimmicks you'd expect from a top-tier kit. With this review, it's a great chance to take a good look at the Real Type Gundam's appearance based on the Ver.2.0 after quite a while.

Either way, it's essentially just the Gundam pulled out of the existing combo kit with nothing new to speak of. But for those who've been wanting the Real Type Gundam on its own, it's a pretty meaningful release. :-)
