This is the MG RX-78-2 Gundam ver. OYW (Theatrical Colors). If you’re thinking it’s pretty much the same as the TV colors version, you’re definitely wrong. For one, the box art looks old-school-awesome. And this is probably the first box art that I’ve seen with a Gundam’s head missing. Also, the color of the plastic is different. If you look here, you’ll notice that the white parts are gray and the blue parts are a darker shade of blue. I’m not sure if these promo pics are any different from the image of the model kit shown in the box but I’m assuming that since these promo pics don’t have panel lines, this is the actual color of the plastic.
So aside from craving for this model kit, the two Gundam Unicorns and the 1/100 Alteisen, I’m also craving for Gackt’s up and coming tribute album for Tomino’s work called 0079-0088. Here are the cover arts for the Amuro and Char customs
