Review: Gundam Converge RX-78-2

I discovered these back before Christmas at my local Miniso store.  They got them back in stock so I figured I'd review one of the ones I missed on the prior run.  This line, according to Gundanium Gateway, is from September 2024.  It was a special summertime release called the "Movie Visual Selection" and doesn't seem to feature box numbers.  Apparently they are all recolors so this release will allow you to field a second version of a figure you might already have.


Box.  I paid $10.99 at Miniso for this.

Parts.











Disassembled.  The head can be Defense or Spotting.  The gun could be Direct Fire or Spotting.  The bazooka could be Direct Fire or Artillery.  The shield
could be Defense.  The arms could be removed for White Die damage.

Assembled.








Apparently there's a spot under the backpack to mount the bazooka
but, it also fits into the secondary shield mounting point.

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.  About the size of a Classic.  (+5)
How many parts does it have to represent systems?  Four.  (+5)
Does it have enough parts you can remove to represent White Dice damage?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  You can't field it as a Soldier archetype right out of the box but a Delegator archetype (2Ra/1B/2Y) is a very useful option.
