MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0 [Gundambase Color] - Together with the standard release MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0.

Together with the standard release MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0.

This is the Gundam Base exclusive MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0 [Gundam Base Color]. As the name suggests, it's the MG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0redone in Gundam Base colors. There's no new molding here — it's a straight-up color variant kit.

So all the features are the same as the original, still showing off that excellent sculpt alongside the somewhat iffy durability. It's not the tightest build out there, but the intricately divided armor parts look fantastic. The Gundam Base Color goes with a blue-toned color scheme that pairs really nicely with this kit's elaborate parts separation, giving it a cool, sharp look. With the Gundam Base Color exclusive seals applied on top, it ends up with quite a distinctive visual identity.

Sure, it's just a color variant at the end of the day, but it's also become something of a poster child for Gundam Base exclusives. If you're into the style and the color scheme, I'd say it's definitely worth going for. :-)
