Bandai Hobby MG 1/100 RGM-79SP GM Sniper II(White Dingo)

The quality is great, as it is based off the already very good 2017 MG RGM-79SP. This White Dingo version comes with the unique shield, head vulcan, and waterslide decals. It does not include the standard shield or sniper rifle. Instead, it comes with the ground type MG, beam rifle, bazooka, and long range beam rifle. The fully articulated hands allow it to hold any of the weapons.Now for the bad news. The beam rifle and long range beam rifle are molded only in gray and may need paint (as I have done). Because the hands have extra articulation, they may become loose over time. This all comes at a very steep price, as most P-Bandai are. I played and loved the video game from which it comes from, 0079 Rise from the Ashes, so I definitely wanted this kit. Otherwise, it's up to you whether or not this kit is worth the cash.

I need to put a disclaimer out there for this model kit. This kit does not come with LED lights Its something that I add to give it a nice custom flare. Now with that out of the way this is a pretty good kit but it's a bit pricey to say the least. But what caught me off guard was the amazing articulation in the arm section. You're going to pull off some really cool poses with this model kit.

I have mix feeling about this kit. First of all, this is based on the MG GM Sniper 2 kit which itself is cheaper and one of the best gunpla kit.This variation is based on a video game. It has different color, slight different head piece and shield.The main problem is weapons that come with this kit is inferior than the original kit. Which I guess is okay....however the issues are the sniper rifle is from a very old GM Ground type. The color isn't even correct. They couldn't even be bother with giving you stickers....That's horrible for a Master Grade kit...they put so little effort into it. Heck, the hand they they included couldn't even hold the weapon right. And it's on top of PREMIUM Bandai (which itself is a not a consumer friendly method to sell these kit).(Edit: you could use a hand part that hold the sniper rifle better. You need to use one of hands that are mark with X. The hand cover would not fit that hand part. But you could cut a portion of it off to use it)Finally, you could NOT build the original Sniper Rifle. The parts weren't there ar all.So overall, the model kit itself is good, but I would suggest you get the original GM MG Sniper 2. It is cheaper and better. Heck, you could just paint the kit white and blue and get sticker from 3rd party seller. You only miss the head piece and shield which I don't think are worth it.

This is not a real robot, it's a plastic robot with about 100 pieces of plastic you have to put together, after putting it together, it was still not a real robot and does nothing but sit there looking at you wishing it was a real robot.

Awesome !

Damaged box

Amazing kit but not that much different from the regular GM Sniper 2 so if you want a leader like figure for a squad or just the different weapons it comes with then pick it up otherwise just get the regular GM Sniper.

I'm very confused. In my kit I received the set of hands titled "1/100 MP1", it should be "MP". As a result, the white cover (C7, C8) which goes over the back hand will not fit. Did Bandai package it wrong? Did the distributor remove "MP" and place "MP1" in there? I have no clue.The white cover C7 and C8 100% does not fit, because the 2 pegs on the white cover are not spaced out far enough, and are not at the correct angle. I looked at my RX-78-2 Version 2 hands, which are the same (MP1). RX-78-2's hand cover has the peg design correctly, spaced farther apart and at the correct angle.The White Dingo is my favorite kit because I have fond memories of the Dreamcast game Rise From the Ashes, unfortunately I'll have to cut the hand cover and force it into place. Still in progress of building.
