Captain B-Money Reviews: SD Archive RX-78-2

Captain B-Money Reviews: SD Archive RX-78-2
Hello there everybody today I am reviewing a Toy. Something I haven't done since 2008. SD Archive RX-78-2 comes from the SD Archive Line that has recently been popping up that are Mobile Suit In Action figures from the same toyline that the SD Gundam Force Action Figures came from as well.

SD has been around a very long time in the franchises history from shows about Kingdoms and Warriors to skits making fun of America's "Wacky Races". But as of lately SD Gundams always seem to bring up the images of SD Gundam Force to people who are not well detailed into the Gundam Franchise.

The RX-78-2 comes with quite a few things that make it truly an awesome figure to have for any reason. Inside the torso it has a Transformable Core Fighter which you can put inside the Gundam if you like or fly it around as an extra. Two beams swords Which are attached to their hilts which make for good swordplay with other action figures from this collection. A beam gun for aiming at any redshirt Zaku's just passing by. A Bazooka for showing all the Dom Pilots who is boss and A shield that can attach to either arm. These accessories make this action figure worth it.

There are some other figures like this. In America when the SD Gundam Force TV show came out there was a Set like this that came with the G-Fighter and could combine with the Gundam to make all of the modes seen in the TV series of Mobile Suit Gundam. That is incredibly hard to find now but I have a feeling I may get to reviewing that someday.

The poseability of this action figure is amazing. the head can move around a whole 360 degrees. the Arms have many positions they can make with how well placed they are, the shoulders move around a tiny bit which makes for some awesome poses. However the legs don't move very well, The only thing that is really poseable on the legs are the feet but they are pretty big and have enough room to spread far enough.

Final Thought:
If you are a Gundam fan this action figure is pretty sweet for all that it comes with. Its perfect to set up anywhere and I really hope Bandai brings out more SD Gundam's for the SD Gundam Archive collection. Wouldn't mind personally seeing Gundam X and Double X.
