HGUC Gundam [Earth Color] - Together with the HGUC RX-78 Gundam [Revive].

Together with the HGUC RX-78 Gundam [Revive].

This kit is the HGUC RX-78 Gundam [Earth Color], released to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Gundam. It's a typical color variant of the HGUC RX-78 Gundam [Revive]released as a standard release, with the molded colors changed. Being a limited edition, the price went up by ¥400, but a special seal sheet featuring various emblems and markings has been added.

To give a bit of background on the release — to celebrate Gundam's 45th anniversary, an event called "Gundam Next Future - Road to 2025 -" was held touring across Japan. At that event, a 1/12 scale Gundam was on display, painted in a green Earth Color scheme. This kit applies that Earth Color from the event to the HGUC, and it's said to be a color motif inspired by the Earth itself.

Since the base kit is the Revive version, the overall quality is excellent. It still boasts great sculpting, articulation, and joint strength, so there's really no need to worry about quality here. For this review, you'll mainly want to pay attention to the changed molded colors and the seals.

Sure, it's a simple color variant, but it's a limited edition with great quality at a reasonable price. If you like the color scheme, this seems like a fun and easy kit to build. :-)
