It's definitely very impressive, I filmed and talked about this kit technically before the full announcement and those extra promotional images are really something to behold, they knocked it out of the park with this 2.0.
I love that in the 2.0 the chest vents are not sunken like in the 1.0, and the shoulder armor proportion are like the first PG! It's about time Bandai I hope the standard RG RGM-79 will be based on 2.0!
It's definitely one of the better takes on the design for sure. I like it a lot better than the 1.0. Looks more bulky and "real" to me if that makes sense.
I feel like real grades lost their DNA in real aircraft with the two tone colors yet ultimately still a lot featureless flat areas, as well as the little things on the original RX78s knee, for example, that looks like a shock absorber or landing gear for kneeling poses, and now they're just like "gunpla but more detailed in a gunpla builder kind of way" Edit: wow they really went for the semi monocoque look which is very lore accurate, I take back my statement. Early mobile suits didn't have full inner frames and I don't think many people pay attention to that.
The RG line is my favorite line. I definitely like the improvement's they've made to the kits over the years. Earlier RG's rely heavy on the MS joint, they sort of have half an inner frame but you're right the frame wasn't as detailed as the MG's or even the RGs we have now.
Looking forward to getting one as I have at least one in every popular grade minus the 1/48 which still eludes me to this day! I love how it looks like a mini PG. Now, this makes me wonder, I think it makes sense that they would revisit the Zaku II as well and make a 2.0 version. One can hope!
The local hobbytown always has a 1/48 in stock for whatever reason lol, It really is just a big HG but it's a nice piece for a collection. I'm genuinely excited for a 2.0 of RG's I'm just hoping they sprinkle a 2.0 in here and there with regular releases. The Sinanju is a design that desperately needs a 2.0.
Gunpla was not selling well. That's why it got cancelled and died. It was the women fans who kept alive in communities and Bandai buying it from Clover.
@@wulf8889 Clover had a toy line, not model kits. When Bandai got the rights to the franchises toy line, they created the model kits that we now know today.
PG to RG. I like the idea. That makes sense.

I preordered the RG 2.0 Gramps as soon as I saw it. It just looks fantastic overall, and that core fighter bend is super nice
I did as well! Hopefully I got it in time, where did you preorder it from?

Rarely built Rg these days. I still have my Sazabi in the backlog. But yeah the early syndrome sucks. Gimme 2.0 Sinanju then we are good to go.
RG is my favorite line, but the Sazabi in RG is a great build. Sinanju is absolutely the worst RG imo.
If anything, I think the advanced ms joint frame will only be present inside the core fighter
I hope so! that worked well for the RG Force impulse.

Technically it’s called advanced ms joint system, also maybe turn the music down a little
I have for my future videos! I realized it was too loud after it was posted for half a day.

Gunpla was not selling at all when the show was on because it didn't exist.
@@paulheap1982 it did tho... Under Clover. It sold shit and Gundam was sold to Bandai.
