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.

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.

@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.
