MG GTO RX-78-2
No full photoshoot yet, since I haven't finished all its weapons, but here's a brief look at #MasterGrade #GundamTheOrigin #rx_78_2. The LED looks really good in decent light, and it's super bright in the dark (maybe a bit too bright; might paint the inside of the top of its head to keep the light from bleeding through).
I won't complain too much about the hands (again), but I do wish they had included some fixed pose holding hands.
Sick! You did a great job.
@MyDarkestTimeline01 Thank you!
No problem. I did a MG of the Barbatos a few months back and I had a blast building it. I just have to figure out which one I'd like to do next. I tend to lean towards doing the models from the shows that I like.
@MyDarkestTimeline01 MG Barbatos is one of my wishlist kits (although now that they've announced MG Barbatos Lupus I will have to make a decision; I don't have enough space for two 18 cm tall Barbatos). It's good to hear it was a fun build!
If you like IBO, they did recently release an MG Vidar, so that's an option. I have yet to look into any reviews for it, though.
I don't know where you buy your kits but this is where I got mine:

@MyDarkestTimeline01 I've never used Gundam Companion. I'll keep them in mind next time I go to buy a kit online. I have a sizable backlog keeping me busy at the moment, though.
Honestly the whole of the Shop app is a great way to find harder to get kits and a plethora of other things. Not to sound like an ad, but when I want to do some "me" shopping and can't find it within an hour drive from my house Shop is where I get it.
@MyDarkestTimeline01 I've noticed almost all the specialized online stores I do use tend to use Shop as their back end even on their websites.
MG B. Lupus you say? Care to give a link so I can wishlist it? I have a Full Mechanics version but would gladly double dip.
@MyDarkestTimeline01 It isn't releasing until November. They revealed it at the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2025, so no link yet (that I can find).

Life is often cruel and unkind.
Thanks for the links you did provide. I'm excited. Already cleared it with the wide this will most likely end up being my next project. Unless something from Lego takes my interest.
