The first Perfect Grade ever made.
In 1998, Bandai changed the hobby forever. The Perfect Grade RX-78-2 Gundam was the kit that launched an entire line — a 1/60 scale model with a fully mechanical inner frame, 626 pieces, and a level of engineering that had never been attempted before.
It is the origin. And it still belongs on every serious collector's shelf.
WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOX
- 626 pieces across 23 runners
- 66 moving joints for dynamic posing
- 29 opening hatches revealing internal mechanical detail
- Auto-folding core fighter wings (fold automatically on docking)
- Light-up eyes (requires CR1220 watch battery, sold separately)
- Completed kit stands approximately 31cm tall, 13cm wide
BUILDER EXPECTATIONS
Grade: Perfect Grade | Scale: 1/60
Skill Level: Advanced — recommended for experienced builders
Build Time: 12–18 hours (snap assembly)
Inner Frame: Yes — full mechanical skeleton
Light-Up Feature: Yes — eyes (battery required)
This is not a beginner kit. With 626 parts and fine tolerances throughout, it demands patience and precision. But for builders who are ready — this is one of the most rewarding builds in the entire Perfect Grade line.
The kit that started it all. The Gundam that defined a grade.
