MG RX-79[G] Ez-8 Gundam Ez8

The RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 is a custom Mobile Suit created for Shiro Amada using the remains of his destroyed RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type after the battle against the Apsaras II Mobile Armor. The RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 is one of very few Gundam-type Mobile Suits in the Universal Century without a dual-blade antenna, which would often suffer accidental damage during jungle combat. Instead, the RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 utilizes a standard antenna attached to the Mobile Suit’s head. The remaining cosmetic differences between the RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8 and the RX-79[G] Ground Type are due to the lack of replacement parts available for the latter Mobile Suit, which forced the Federation to utilize components from captured Zeon Mobile Suits.

Included alongside the MG Gundam Ez-8 for accessories:

• Hyper Bazooka (Ground Type)
• BLASH-XBR-M-79E Beam Rifle
• YHI YF-MG100 100mm Machine Gun
• Sa-G-03 Beam Saber x2
• Weapon Container Rack
• RGM*S-Sh-WF/S-00109 Shield
• 1/20 Shiro Amada Figure

Articulation –

The MG Gundam Ez8 borrows most of its construction from the previously released MG RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type, showcasing the in-universe lineage that connects these two Mobile Suits. The model uses a combination of complete internal frame parts and hollow armor parts, all supported by an array of polycaps and a handful of screws! The model features double-jointed knees and elbows, providing a wide range of motion for builders to create dynamic poses.

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

The MG Gundam Ez8 includes the BLASH-XBR-M-79E Beam Rifle and the YHI YF-MG100 100mm Machine Gun for handheld use. The Mobile Suit also sorties with two Beam Sabers stored inside its leg armor for close-quarters engagements. The Hyper Bazooka separates into five main pieces and stows away inside the included Weapon Container. The Weapon Container can then attach to the back of the MG Gundam Ez-8 using the arm assembly on the backpack. This model comes bundled with an additional runner of small surface details for builders to customize their MG Gundam Ez-8 right out of the box!
