About this Gundam figure
RX-78-2 GENKAI Toppa comes from Banpresto's Gundam output. It stands about 11 in. Nothing about it is kit work: the pose was set at the factory, the paint went on there too, and the only thing left for an owner to do is seat it on the base.
What the listing specifies
Taken from the product listing, trimmed of the sales language:
- Standing at Approx. 11", The RX-78-2 is seen in their iconic pose
Looking after it
Sunlight is the enemy here. Pigments used on prize runs are not formulated for years of UV, and a figure parked on a bright windowsill shifts colour long before a shaded one does. A dry brush beats a duster: anything woven will snag a hair spike eventually.
Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall
On the Gundam shelf this is the 7th dearest of 45 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $8 to $35. For scale, the deepest shelf in the hall is Dragon Ball with 115 collectable figures on it; a Dragon Ball piece from the same line as this one is built to the same height and finish, which is the quickest way to judge a Banpresto format before committing to it.

Heavy Duty hard rubber action figure, nice for a child to play
This item is a hard rubber, copy of the Gundam figure it really nice, but it’s a toy I don’t collect toys I collect models and I build them, this item didn’t have any damage, but the Bo x looked like someone owns it, the box was worn out on the Connor’s and it had home tape holding the flaps, over all it’s an action figure.

Bigger is better.
Bigger is better. Feels like a perfect grade statue. Here's a comparison of the Hg and this tall statue. You could paint the statue as well if you want anime color accurate gfred

Commanding presence... but not much else.
If you are a Gundam fan or a gunpla fan, this may be somewhat disappointing. For the price, you get a nice looking and detailed model at a sizeably larger scale than most model kits. But between the lack of articulation and the static pose, this item is NOT worth the valued price in my opinion. The LITERAL only reason to get this is if you like the GQuuuuuuX mech and want something huge. Otherwise, it is not worth it. I would only recommend this product at a discount of under $20.00 total. Beyond that, you would be over-paying for a glorified paperweight. Ideally, get the model kit instead.
