Japanese-first official coverage

Curated collector summary

ENTRY GRADE 1/144 THE GUNDAM BASE LIMITED RX-78 GUNDAM [PAINTING MODEL] is a EG release positioned as a display-first build rather than a bare catalog listing. RX 78 GUNDAM is framed here as a EG interpretation from 機動戦士ガンダム, with the page tuned for browsing both build appeal and official reference material. The current page is grounded in a gundam base / venue-exclusive release, which helps anchor the kit in official imagery, naming, and source context.

Universe

Universal Century

The core Gundam timeline centers on humanity expanding into space, political fracture between Earth and the colonies, and the way mobile suits reshape war, identity, and ideology across generations.

Series

機動戦士ガンダム

The original series establishes the Earth Federation versus Zeon conflict, the rise of the RX-78-2, and the character archetypes and political tensions that define much of Gundam afterward.

Release route

Gundam Base / venue-exclusive release

Venue and Gundam Base releases tend to function as destination pieces: they are still official catalog items, but part of the appeal is the sense that the kit belongs to an event, store, or collector circuit rather than plain wide retail.

Line

Entry Grade

Entry Grade is designed for clean, low-friction builds with strong color separation and accessibility, making it ideal for quick builds or strong baseline forms.

Visual atlas

Official gallery lanes

The spotlight deck above stays selective. This lower atlas keeps every lane visible, so pack shots, feature diagrams, lighting material, and manual-catalog history do not all fight for the same slot.
