HGUC RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis Type-MLRS + Beam Bazooka


       It's been quite awhile now since this version of GP02 was release. I did took a long time to decide weather I should get this version or the original Nuclear warhead type GP02 but I chose this in the end because of more weapon options.
      This version of GP02 has darker colour, instead of the yellowish white it has a light grey color. It also have a 02 engraved to it's left shoulder.

           If I'm not mistaken the shoulder mounted bazooka connector is a little different from the standard version, included in it's runner. If MLRS is equipped, the connector have to be removed because there's it's not designed to carry both equipment on the same time. ( sadly )

         The thing about it's wrist, it's made up of a standard ball-joint like other kits, but with a movable connector. There's a teeth like thing in the connector part, to let GP02's hand able to hold position while carrying the shield and bazooka, which is quite heavy for it. As for the shield, it housed it's beam bazooka.


       
        There are 2 beam saber housed on it's waist parts, huge compared to any other kits I have. The beam part of the saber is also quite big, almost like those of a smaller sized MG beam.


          To connectg ot a display stand GP02 have a uniqe plug, maybe due to it's overall weight. The plug have a flat shape instead of a cylinder like other kits, which make it quite stable on display.

         Another thing that is special about this kit is it's shoulder mounted booster, I would give a well-done for the gimmicks. It is able to stand on it's on while retracted without a display set given it's huge flat feet.

          Overall I would like to say this is a very nice kit, to those fan of the 0079 Stardust Memory anime this is a very nice addition to the GP line collection. Oh by the way, the Zeon emblem wasn't included I found it from somewhere else. Looks great on it no ?
