This product is not just another Gundam figure; it represents a decisive moment in an alternate Gundam timeline, offering a collector's piece that materializes this bold and fascinating revision of classic Mobile Suit Gundam history.

In the intriguing narrative of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the RX-78-02 Gundam is the same experimental prototype Mobile Suit secretly developed by the Earth Federation as a crucial part of its ambitious "Project V." Originally conceived as one of the Federation's most formidable and advanced military assets, its destiny takes a drastic and unexpected turn when it is captured by the cunning Char Aznable during his daring assault on a key space colony.

Still bearing the Federation's distinctive white, blue, and red colors, this captured "White Gundam" symbolizes the subversion of power and technological vulnerability, as the Federation's main weapon falls into the hands of its most celebrated and feared adversary before any modification or repainting. Although Char Aznable later adapts it to his characteristic red color scheme, transforming it into the fearsome "GMS-α Red Gundam," this specific version of the METAL ROBOT魂 figure immortalizes the crucial moment before this alteration—a true "what if" for Gundam figure collectors.

The Mobile Suit design for GQuuuuuuX, by the renowned Ikuto Yamashita, aims for a representation of Mobile Suits as "advanced heavy machinery," emphasizing their warlike nature. This is reflected in details such as a redesigned head with a Vulcan cannon mechanism that appears to protrude, accentuating its nature as a fearsome tool of war.

This METAL ROBOT魂 RX-78-02 Gundam figure captures all these details with astonishing precision, making it a must-have for any serious collector of Gundam figures and the Mobile Suit universe.
