Review: Gundam Converge RX-78-2 Gundam (259)

It's been a while since I've done any Gundam Converge reviews so let's get into it.  These are from the 22nd release, dating to November of last year.  This one has the subtitle "Final Battle Specifications".


Box.  I paid $10.99 at Newbury Comics for this.



Parts.





Disassembled.  The head vanes could be Spotting.  The head could be
Defense or Spotting.  The backpack could be Defense, Movement, or
Spotting.  The bazookas could be Artillery.  The shield can be Defense.
The arms can be removed to represent White die damage.  Apparently the
little block piece on the bottom right is meant to represent a damaged arm.

Assembled.  Unfortunately this one needs
the base to stand while carrying weapons. 

Size Comparison.






The Questions:
Is it below, at, or above $10 per Frame?  Above.  (-10)

Is it a good size to use in a game?  Yes.  In between a Chub and a Classic.  (+5)
How many parts does it have to represent systems?  Six.  (+5)
Does it have enough parts you can remove to represent White Dice damage?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  A good looking model that'd score better if the price was cheaper.
