Gallery + Video: PG RX-78-2 Gundam Gold Version 「Mobile Suit Gundam」

Finally it's here: photos of the rare "PG RX-78-2 Gundam Gold Version" 「RX-78-2 ガンダム 純金コーティングバージョン」built by Perfect Collector. This kit was given away during the "MG Special Mechanic Seal W Chance Campaign" 「MGスペシャルメカニックシールWチャンスキャンペーン」back in December 2002 as the grand prize and was awarded to 30 winners who participated in the contest during the campaign period. The other prize was a Perfect Grade Zaku II Red Metal Version.

This kit is without any doubt the most sought-after limited edition Gunpla kit in the world and is considered the “Holy Grail” amongst serious collectors. Since there are only 30 kits in existence, they don't often change hands. And of course, with such rarity comes a hefty price tag which will only increase over time. In today's market, this kit usually fetch close to 1 million Yen when they go to auction. Yes, collectors are very passionate about this kit.

Special thanks and respect to Perfect Collector for building this and sharing it with the world!

  1. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of art here on your website. I'm especially impressed by Perfect Collector's courage to have this ultra rare kit built. It's like a gospel sharing among all the PG Gundam fans across the globe.

    By the way, I believe you've forgotten to add this Gold Ver. Gundam along with the Red Metal Ver. Zaku onto your "Limited Edition 1:60 — 1:48 Gunpla Database" list.

    I'm looking forward to seeing more detail pictures of the super rare PG kits here on your website, including the upcoming Mastermind PG Unicorn Gundam Phenex.

    1. Thank you for the nice words. Once again, mad respect @PerfectCollector for building these kits instead of keeping them in the box. These kits were never sold, so they are on the "Not For Sale Gunpla Database".
