Bandai 5058205 HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Beyond Global Overview

The RX-78-2 Gundam gets a careful refresh in Bandai's HG 1/144 Beyond Global release. Created to mark Gunpla's 40th Anniversary, this edition balances classic lines with upgraded joint mechanics. Builders of varying experience will find the assembly engaging and the finished kit well suited to shelf displays and photo posing.

Advanced joint layout for natural poses

The Beyond Global edition improves mobility through a series of refined joints. The torso can bend forward more naturally and the neck has enhanced swing, while redesigned thigh joints give an expanded leg sweep. Independent wrist movement is mounted on a ball joint to help with realistic weapon grips and shield placement, making dynamic static poses easier to achieve.

Balanced proportions and functional movement

This release revisits Kunio Okawara's original RX-78-2 silhouette and adjusts proportions to feel more grounded. Chest and hip linkages allow useful forward and backward travel for action stances, and the rear skirt has extra clearance to support deeper backward leg positions for more expressive displays.

Included weapons and finishing touches

The kit ships with a beam rifle, a shield, two beam sabers and a foil seal sheet for extra panel detail. These parts, together with the articulated frame, let modelers recreate classic poses or experiment with new arrangements without heavy modification.

Bandai 5058205 HG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Beyond Global delivers modern articulation and carefully tuned styling at a manageable scale, making it a solid choice for collectors and display builders.
