   Worth Every Penny This rendition of the RX-78-2 gundam is little on the odd side, with all of the new origin armaments; however, do not let this deter you from buying this model as it is among the best I own. This model has very flexible and light design that still manages to hold very specific poses. It contains many effect parts and weapons along with many optional pieces that provide a lot of room for customization. I would highly recommend this model to anyone wanting to dip their feet into the master grade scene, as it is extremely well designed and relatively easy to finish.

   Absolutely amazing While the 3.0 strives to recreate the 1/1 statue, the Origin manages to both look amazing and pose like a jojo character.

   Another Mechanically Sound Granddad MG This MG is definitely one of the best RX-78-2's if you appreciate good builds the most. From start to finish, everything you build is enjoyable and looks good while you do it. Great accessories too; shield, original beam rifle, Origin beam rifle, shoulder cannons, 2 sabers, multiple effect parts for the various vulcans on the body, and the bazooka. My only issue with this kit is the proportions, but frankly that's something only you can decide on whether you like or not.

   Best of its class. You can't go wrong with the originals, and this is no exception. The RX-78-2 has never been more polished and deserving of its title as the granddaddy of all Gundams. Excellent articulation, fantastic colors, and all around loaded with extras. My only issue is that all of the extra parts feel a little left out when you've got this piece all set up, but its so customizable that its hardly a complaint! A must-have for any Gunpla collector and Gundam fan.

   A must buy, must build. This kit is incredible. It's designed like a Ver.Ka kit. LED light and super poseable. Master of all Master Grades.

    MG Perfected There really isn't much I can say about this kit that hasn't already been said. This thing is really, REALLY cool, well designed, and frankly one of the best, if not hands down THE best Master Grade Gunpla I have ever built. And what better title to give such an accolade to than the guy who started it all!
    
    There are a few changes that were made to the original RX-78-02 Gundam though, considering this is The Origin version. Backpack-mounted cannon, flip out shoulder Gatling gun and shoulder missile pod, wrist vulcans (with the option of making only one or both arms have the wrist vulcans), and a conventional ammunition machine rifle. But with all the additions, they ended up taking away the Core Block system that the Gundam was famous for having. That being said though, it was worth the sacrifice for the sake of chest articulation.
    
    Speaking of articulation, it's perfect. All of it. Arms, legs, torso, head, not a single part of this kit is poorly designed or articulated. And with the inclusion of LED unit functionality meeting this kit, you know already it's gonna be a well deserved addition to any self-respecting Gundam fan's collection.
