Bandai PG Unleashed RX-78-2 GUNDAM
1st & Likely Only PG Unleashed I Will Ever Build
- Scale:
- 1:60
- Status:
- In progress
- Started:
- January 7, 2025
660 pieces/parts per my count from the instruction magazine's sprue sheet diagrams. That includes the "etched stickers" (those are pre-glued metal detail parts after all), but not the beam saber tester tool, nor the decals/stickers.
PROS: Great detail, engineering and immersive layers of build! Reflective stickers! Light up saber!
CONS: Mechanism to light eyes/chest is finicky; Only 1 saber lights up & it must be stowed in backpack to light up those thrusters; without painting (especially the gimmick 'reveal' areas) it still would seem like an expensive toy IMHO; determining which 'reveal' areas to pain takes time & part assembly testing; stickers are nice but waterslide decals for the win; a few decals get covered by parts that cannot be revealed via gimmick hatches; confused by large number of decals & reflective stickers left over; prominent shield and Core Fighter parts are ABS.
