Celebrate one of the most spectacular technical achievements in the history of the saga with the RX-78F00 Gundam, developed by Bandai Spirits to commemorate the Yokohama Mobile Monument.
This 1/100 scale version differs radically from the classic RX-78-2 thanks to its revised design, optimised to simulate the physical constraints of a real 18-metre robot. The armour features ultra-detailed panel lines and complex structural contours, combining the iconic colours (white, blue, red, yellow) with shades of light grey for striking mechanical realism.
Freedom of movement inspired by the real-life attraction:
The joint engineering has been completely redesigned for this kit to replicate the walking movements and iconic poses performed by the life-size robot in Yokohama. The thigh and arm panels move fluidly during flexion, offering dynamic posability without compromising the mecha’s silhouette.
A full arsenal and exclusive markings:
The RX-78F00 comes ready for display with its traditional combat equipment: a beam rifle, two beam sabres housed in its rucksack, and its distinctive armoured shield. The box also contains a sheet of specific marking stickers faithfully reproducing the official logos and technical warnings visible on the real-life monument.
