Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam The Origin RX-78-02 – 2494322

The Bandai 1/144 HG Gundam The Origin RX‑78‑02 – 2494322 is a beautifully crafted High Grade model that draws inspiration directly from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin. Released as part of the franchise’s 40th anniversary celebration, this kit utilizes updated injection molding techniques and offers two build variations: the asymmetrical Early Type, complete with Gatling gun on one forearm and shoulder-mounted weapons, and the sleeker Mid Type with balanced armor panels and recessed vernier covers.

Built for both form and function, the Origin RX‑78‑02 delivers excellent articulation—complete with working shoulder, calf, and toe components—while retaining the ease of snap-fit assembly that GunPla is renowned for. The kit includes both beam rifles, beam sabers, a shield, hyper bazooka, shoulder cannon, and a full set of foil and marking stickers for customizing the finished model.

Whether you're honoring Gundam’s legacy with the Early Type’s rugged charm or preferring the streamlined Mid Type, this kit stands as a versatile and faithful recreation of the franchise's iconic original mobile suit.
