The First Ever Gunpla: Revival

I jokingly called this Missing Link Gundam because it kinda feels just like what Takara did to G1 Optimus in their Missing Link lines.

[@RAP-SKULLION]

I think G1 Prime actually has MORE articulation

[@RealEffinNoob]

@@RAP-SKULLION yeah since they've basically took the original toy and added more articulations on it. Meanwhile Revival Gundam basically took all of the modern engineering of Gunpla moulding and simplified it to how the original kit was looked. In a sense, both Revival Gundam and Missing Link Optimus are a modernization of the original product but in a different aspect.

[@mikloridden8276]

This is just... charming. I'd like one just to keep as a sort of mascot for gunpla as a hobby. For that reason, I think I'll leave the safety flags on to add to that vibe. But it needs to be said: this has a colour separated crotch v! There is now absolutely zero excuse for kits to keep using stickers. _This kit_ of all things has a colour separated v on the crotch. _This._

[@lucasurquiza554]

What a whimsical thing. Fun, cute looking, and possibly the most faithful representation of the Gundam as it appeared in the anime. I want to get this and the RG 2.0 together, it seems really fitting doing so.

[@zafranorbian757]

Arguably the Entry Grade full weapons set version is the most faithfull representation, but this kit is extreamly neat.

[@joadarium9605]

As someone that actually has old school grandad Gundam’s and admittedly didn’t do the best paintwork for them, this kit is a godsend and I already almost feel as nostalgic as the people in early 80’s Japan that grew up with this kit. And the color separation will make this as easy as painting a recent kit!

[@palody_en-ja]

My grandpa used to make model kits, and one of the ones he gave me was a partially completed GM from the first generation of gunpla. He hand painted them really nicely (otherwise it's all one color, off-white light green), and did such a good job putting it together (sanding and adhesive cement) that it couldn't stand on its own. There weren't rubber parts back then, so the legs swung forward and backwards freely 😅

[@chaosomega623]

This is basically like Legacy United G1 Optimus Prime but for Gundam, similarly, the equivalent for the Transformers Missing Link Optimus Prime would be the RG 1/144 rx-78-2 Gundam ver.2.0, interestingly enough, both franchises are celebrating their milestone anniversaries this year (40th for TF and 45th for Gundam) and all these toys are released to celebrate them.

[@landwand]

My inner child will be so happy when I get (multiple) copies of this.

[@Kids_Scissors]

Glad they weren't 100% faithful and didn't make it completely uncolored

[@Scudboy17]

I'm a 50 year old white guy, and I love this kit. I've been building models and gunpla since the 70's. Early Gundam kits were clunky, kinda ugly, you had to put in some extra work to get them anything close to accurate, and very hard to get. I got mine from the occasional comic book convention that came thru town every couple of years or so. First kit I ever built was a gen 1 Zaku II in all of its mono-eyed and mono-green glory. I was actually building the kits before I ever actually saw the Gundam series. I just loved the giant robot idea so much and still do.

[@Quarataia]

We've come a really long way, huh? From these blocky guys to the really great modern HGs.

[@zafranorbian757]

not to mention RG.

[@seanvanderstruys5196]

Coming from an old man, nothing beats the original. It was a beautiful kit then and it's a beautiful kit now.

[@Viichan777]

I built quite a few of these, they aren't as bad as you would think. The 1/100 zaku 2 especially is really posable for a 1980s figure. The really cool ones are the original 1/60 kits, they have parts to add an led, were the first kits with polycaps, mostly color seperated and are roughly the size of modern perfect grades. It's awesome to own a Gelgoog that size

Personally I'd be more interested in them making a good kit of the Gundam's original design rather than replicating an old kit including all its flaws. (Sort of like MG Gundam v2, I don't like the design of that kit so much though) But this... I mean if I was gonna build the 1980 kit, I'd rather just build the 1980 kit. Get the *real* experience of it, you know? ...This actually makes me wonder about that original kit, though. Are they done reissuing it? If so, I get it, mold toolings wear out and a 44 year old Gundam kit isn't going to remain profitable forever... I could be wrong but I think they haven't been reissuing the 1980s kits so much like they used to.

@@kxgr9522 FM, I feel like, should go up to 1/72 scale for the older series (or at least U.C. series) alongside a revival of RE/100 alongside it. FM changing its scale to 1/72 means Bandai would have an excuse to make Grandpa in that line, too, plus also to revive RE/100. (Would an RE/100 Grandpa be a monkey’s paw?) 1/72 FM kits would be a sort of revival of the 1/72 internal view range from the original series that was discontinued after the end of the 0079/MSV line, plus scale compatibility with AMAIM, Dunbine, and Zegapain kits, not to mention things like the Hasegawa Xabungle. Some of the ZZ stuff and such already have RE/100 kits at least. I agree that the BMC revives aren’t great of a compromise for new kits of the stuff from series like ZZ (I was actually only thinking of the pre-CCA series, it would be even worse to see this for stuff like Victory) that has been never modernized.
