Let's look at this cool red guy, shall we?
This variant of RX-78-2 Gundam originates from the Mobile Suit Gundam Gihren’s Greed game series — this is a mobile suit developed by Zeon and it's actually quite different from RX-78-2 on the inside. As usual with red Zeon mobile suits this one is finely tuned for use by Char.
Knowing that Bandai loves to release gentei variations of existing kits I knew it was only a matter of time until we will see this kit. It took quite a while, but this fall Bandai finally announced RG RX-78-2 in Char Aznable colors. The kit was sold through online P-Bandai shop and is currently sold out, although there's a chance you can find it on eBay.
With Exia kits (repair set and red/white Astreyas), Bandai has moved on from recoloring molds and started to add new parts. This is the first gentei RG that has parts specially molded and not avaialble as a separate set, although it's just 2 parts. Here are the three runners new to this kit:
