Bandai HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Beyond Global Summary

The RX-78-2 receives an update in Bandai's HG 1/144 Beyond Global edition, released to celebrate four decades of Gunpla. This kit preserves the iconic design while introducing mechanical refinements that improve articulation and visual balance. It is suitable for collectors who appreciate faithful styling combined with functional movement.

Enhanced articulation for crisp poses

The Beyond Global variant features improved joint engineering to broaden pose possibilities. The torso allows a more convincing forward tilt and the neck has added swing range. Thigh joints support a wider stepping motion and the wrist ball joints enable independent hand orientation for secure weapon handling and shield arrangement.

Classic design revisited with careful tweaks

Rooted in Kunio Okawara's original concept, this version tunes the model's proportions to read better at 1/144 scale. The chest and hip assemblies permit discrete forward and rear extension to assist dynamic stances, while the rear skirt moves further to avoid binding during extreme leg poses.

Weapons loadout and detailing extras

The kit includes the standard beam rifle, a shield and two beam sabers, plus a foil seal sheet for fine markings. Those elements work with the articulated frame to encourage both faithful scene recreation and creative diorama builds.

Bandai 5058205 HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Beyond Global combines considered engineering with classic Gundam aesthetics, making it a practical addition for display-focused modellers.
