The RX-78F00/E Gundam
The RX-78F00/E Gundam stars as the main Mobile Suit of the "GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION" at Expo Osaka-Kansai 2025. Its story unfolds in the new short film "GUNDAM: Next Universal Century," set in the year 2150, where humanity has expanded into deep space. Outposts like the "Star Jaburo" space station, accessed by an orbital elevator, rely on Mobile Suits like the RX-78F00/E to drive their operations. The unit's futuristic design and its "EX-001 Glass Feather" equipment represent "new possibilities for the future" and "technologies yet to be realized"—the central themes of both the pavilion and the film.
The figure captures the dense, detailed modeling style characteristic of the FW GUNDAM CONVERGE line.
The front view highlights the symmetrical and powerful stance of the RX-78F00/E Gundam.
The 'EX-001 Glass Feather' backpack is fully detachable, allowing for multiple display options.
The figure incorporates transparent parts to represent the solar panels across its armor.
Displaying the figure without its backpack offers a look at the base Mobile Suit design.
The 'Glass Feather' backpack offers a unique, futuristic silhouette for the classic RX-78F00. What do you think of this redesign for the Expo 2025? Let us know in the comments below!
