Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)the RX-78 GP-01 is a pretty good master grade gundam model kit. with about 300 or so pieces to assemble, this kit takes about 4-6 hours to finish. if you want to detail it with markers and paints, build time can extend into days.
The kit has few problems i can think of. the most serious flaw is the shoulder joints - they can't swivel back and forth like most of the newer MG kits can do, and thus limits the posing posibilities of the GP-01. Another problem is the hand/manipulator of the kit is rather lose, so it has problems holding onto the light sabers tightly (the sabers are rather heavy for their size).
But GP-01 also has a lot of positive sides going for it. First of all, don't let the box art fool you, this thing is well porportioned. It's got the standard weapons (gun, shield, lightsaber x2), but its core flyer is more detailed than most other MG kits. from a solid block looking thing in the chest, it can unfold into a fighter jet, with a working canopy and a pilot figure sitting inside. Its articulation isn't particularly good, mainly because its ankle joint has a very limited range. but it's still pretty poseable, due to its lack of a skirt-like armor around the hip joint.
Anyway, the finished product is better than your average MG kit, and for just 9 bucks, it's a steal. strangely, this kit doesn't show up on most amazon gundam kit searches, so finding it is already tricky.
