Published by the HOBBY Division of Japan’s BANDAI SPIRITS Company, the ultimate Gunpla "PG (Perfect Grade)" series , which presents the latest technology crystallization in a ratio of 1:60 , officially announced today (08) the latest work of Gunpla’s 40th anniversary collection " PG UNLEASHED" "1/60 RX-78-2 Gundam " merchandise is expected to be released in December 2020.
PERFECT GRADE UNLEASHED integrates the new technologies used in "GUNPLA EVOLUTION PROJECT" in the past, such as movement, deformation, simple assembly, light-emitting mechanism, and extreme precision reproduction. It tries various directions that make Gunpla evolve and injects various technologies without reservation. And to break the existing impression of "RX-78-2 Gundam " , to create " revolutionary Gunpla goods ."
The kit adopts a "staged" assembly process, allowing you to gradually assemble from various stages of internal skeleton, mechanism, truss, external armor, effect performance, etc., and gradually experience the crystallization of various new technologies and the evolution of Gunpla technology, as if you are truly in Make a mobile suit.
The frame design adopts the "large embedded frame" structure, which is similar to the "MS JOINT ADVENCE" frame of the RG series. It only needs to be cut from the parts frame instead of slowly assembled from small parts. The simple design greatly reduces the time required for assembly. At the same time, it also takes into account a large number of linkage mechanisms.
The PG UNLEASHED RX-78-2 Gundam has the largest number of Gunpla in history, with a total of 94 movable axes in the whole body. The upper torso including the core fighter alone has 40 movable axes, and the legs have sliding mechanisms. The delicate movable axes The design can link the action of each frame and armor to reduce the interference between each other and make bold movements more naturally and smoothly.
One of the characteristics of PG is of course the internal skeleton structure that is full of visibility. This time, PG UNLEASHED Gundam has a higher density of a large number of details than the previous series. It not only has delicate parts, but also uses metal forming color parts and electroplating. Parts and metal processing trusses show a rich texture, and the legs are equipped with a high-density radiator structure.
The outer armor is presented with multiple materials such as metal texture forming, matte plating processing, chrome processing, etching patches, and plastic metal stickers that create a luminous texture. Vulcan guns and backpack nozzles are made of metal parts. Beam rifles and shields are used. Mounting with magnetic force, the transformation method often used by Gunpla players in the past has been greatly used in the product! Another major feature of the early PG, the "movable maintenance hatch", also reached its peak this time at PG UNLEASHED. The entire Gundam is designed with 53 maintenance hatches that can be opened!
The popular LED light-emitting mechanism in recent years has not been absent. PG UNLEASHED Gundam is equipped with LED light-emitting design in the main head, sub-camera, chest vent, backpack nozzle and even beam saber. It adopts a new type of small RGB LED light to shrink the interior. Install space, reduce movable interference, and change the color of the light to create a variety of situations!
