Size comparison with a cigarette pack
True to its 1/200 scale, it's a compact little thing that fits right in the palm of your hand.

The panel lines are impressive given the size.

The Gundam Dock in three colors.

Since the elbows and knees are fixed, articulation is pretty limited.

These are about the only poses you can pull off..

Small, but the detail holds up surprisingly well.

This kit is the 1/200 RX-78F00 Gundam given out as an entry bonus when you visit Gundam Factory Yokohama. It's not sold inside the facility — instead, it's handed out at the entrance when you purchase a ticket to get in. For a freebie bonus kit, it shows quite impressive quality.

The contents are just a single runner in a bag along with the manual, but even with so few parts, it boasts excellent color separation and precise detail. Panel lines are engraved densely across the entire body in the same style as the 1/144 and 1/100 versions. In terms of articulation, the elbows and knees are fixed, so dynamic posing is out of the question — you can really only make minor adjustments to the proportions. The joint strength feels a little loose, but since the kit is so small and light, it's not really a problem.

All in all, it's a surprisingly satisfying kit for an entry bonus, though it's a bit of a shame that all the weapons are left out. Feels like it could've sold pretty well even at around ¥300. :-)
