   Fantastic, as advertised model! The Good: This product arrived fast and early, it was in good condition on arrival. The kit was every bit as easy as claimed for assembly and instructions with the finished Gundam being color accurate. No painting or decal work needed for the finished kit. It is highly poseable from head to toe and although it only comes with 2 hands (1 left, 1 right) in a standard closed around an object pose it can easily hold its accessories. The Gundam even has a surprisingly high level of detail (More than I would expect from something that's $8.00).
   
   The Bad: One of the knee cap pieces is loose, can be fixed with glue but the kit says there is no need for that. The shield can also be a bit loose when slotted into the backpack and the rifle comes with a articulated scope but not an articulated handle for two handed use. Also the front skirt is one piece, a common problem for Gunpla from what I understand but while there is usually a way to correct that with most kits there doesn't seem to be a way to separate the skirt halves without risking them falling off on this one.
   
   The Ugly: It comes with two beam sabers but no beam saber effect pieces, probably not a problem for veteran model makers but as this is my first model I don't have a spares lying around to use.
   
   The Verdict: I paid $8.00 for this... money very well spent, I was really glad to see its ease of construction prevented me from feeling overwhelmed on my first attempt at a model kit. I had Gundam action figures as a kid and this model beat them hands down in articulation and the joints are sturdy enough to let it hold poses and stand up on its own. If you are beginning Gunpla like me or just want a very easy, cheap, and fun RX-78-2 I highly recommend grabbing one.

   Excellent by itself, even better as an entry point for young people First kit in nearly 20 years. It's uncanny how far Gunpla has come. The articulation, panel detail, and color separation are exceptional. I bought this both as an easy re-entry into the hobby and as a small project to do with my young children. They loved it, I loved it, and my son is still flying it around the house making "pew pew" sounds
   
   One word of caution: we did break off part of the V Fins by being a bit too overzealous in popping it off the runner. Just take your time and all the parts pop free with ease.

   Entry Grade Done Right Amazing articulation and color separation at a tiny price. The lack of surface detail and blocky design only add to its simple charm.

   Perfect for Newcomers This was the first 1/144th scale I did and it was much easier than I anticipated. The parts are very easy to remove from the runners and they made the most out of the small amount of plastic used.

   Surpassed Expectations I was pleasantly surprised with how good this model is for the price, its able to be so well posed and its so quick and simple to build, especially with the pop-out pieces that are used. I highly recommend this build for this was incredibly impressive.
