Elevate your collection with the Bandai 1/144 RG‑12 RX‑78GP01 Gundam “Zephyranthes” Real Grade (RG) kit—a refined recreation of the prototype mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.

Crafted in the 1/144 Real Grade format, this kit merges the compact scale of a High Grade (HG) with the internal complexity of a Master Grade (MG).

🔧 Key Features

• Real Grade Precision: Features the Advanced MS Joint 5 system for smooth, high‑articulation movements in a small 1/144 scale.

• Core Block System: Includes the transformable Core Fighter II unit that forms the torso and cockpit—authentic to the anime's design.

• Detailed Armaments: Comes with a beam rifle, shield, and beam sabers, along with realistic decals and effect parts to enhance display realism.

• Impressive Aesthetic: Clean color separation and multilayered plastic detail capture the muscular chest, defined feet, and sleek head sculpt that fans love—often cited as the best rendition of GP01 yet.

• Dynamic Articulation: Capable of expressive poses—double-jointed limbs, expandable shield, and even optional beam effect parts for dynamic action shots.

• Cautions: Some builders note that the connection between the Core Block and the chest/torso can be somewhat fragile, requiring careful assembly to maintain stability.
