Bandai MG 1/100 RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis
Product Info
About the Vehicle:
The RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis is a heavy assault mobile suit featured in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Designed for the Earth Federation's "Gundam Development Project," the GP02A is built as a nuclear strike unit, with the capability to launch a tactical nuclear warhead using its massive atomic bazooka. Heavily armored and equipped with a large shield capable of withstanding the blast radius of its own nuclear weapons, the Physalis is a formidable unit in both offense and defense. Despite its bulky design, it remains agile and capable of engaging in close and long-range combat. Its fearsome potential makes it one of the most powerful mobile suits of its time, piloted by Zeon ace Anavel Gato after being stolen.
About the Model:
This Master Grade (MG) 1:100 scale model kit of the RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis offers a detailed and articulated build that accurately captures the mobile suit's bulky and imposing design.

Its internal frame allows for full articulation, enabling dynamic poses that showcase the Physalis' powerful stature and weaponry.
The model kit includes a variety of accessories, most notably the massive atomic bazooka and the large shield, which are key elements of the GP02A’s design. The model also includes beam sabers and additional hand parts for multiple posing options. The color-separated parts ensure an accurate representation of the Physalis' signature white, blue, and yellow color scheme, while decals and detailed panel lines enhance the model’s overall realism.
Perfect for fans of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory and those who enjoy building heavy assault mobile suits, the MG RX-78GP02A Gundam Physalis is a visually impressive and action-packed model kit. Its combination of heavy armor, devastating weaponry, and articulation makes it a standout addition to any Gunpla collection, reflecting the raw power and destructive capability of this iconic mobile suit.
This is a posable, Master-Grade injection-plastic kit of an item from the Gundam universe.
Here it is, easily the largest and most-involved kit to be released yet in the Bandai Master Grade series. And frankly, after looking at the contents, 4000 yen seems cheap.
There are 16 runners of parts here. 16! Even if you don't paint or glue this kit (naturally it's all snap-assembly), it's going to take a few hours to put it together properly.
As usual, everything on the kit moves. Those shoulder "binders" are particularly interesting, especially the way the outer nozzle pivots downward. The "atomic bazooka" can be mounted in the hand in firing position, or it breaks down into two pieces, the barrel mounting in the inside of the shield (see photo), with the remainder mounting on the GP02's back.
Comes with the usual stickers, inner-mechanism detail, multiple sets of hands, beam saber, and stuff I've probably overlooked.
The BANDAI logo on the box is BLUE and NOT red
