The HGUC Operation V Set includes the three stars of the original Mobile Suit Gundam animated series, the Gundam, the Guncannon, and the Guntank! Operation V was the Earth Federation’s secret Mobile Weapon development program to combat Zeon’s new force of Zaku Mobile Suits. This program spawned three different prototype Mobile Suits, each with a unique combat role. The Earth Federation would use the data gathered from these three Mobile Suits to develop their own Mass-Production Mobile Suits, such as the RGM-79 GM and the RX-79[G] Gundam Ground Type. As for its model kit rendition, the HGUC Operation V Set uses the original molds of all three kits with an exclusive recoloring of all the plastic. Bandai also included a set of marking decals to give your Operation V Set a unique look!

Articulation –

The RX-78-2 Gundam builds like many other HGUC models from this time, especially other Gundams or GMs. It has a quick and basic set of instructions that, along with a couple of stickers, will make you a sweet rendition of the RX-78-2 Gundam, just like in Mobile Suit Gundam.

The RX-75 Guntank has some decent posability. Both arms fully articulate, and the head mounts on a ball joint. Both cannons mount to polycaps, so you can display them firing or in standby mode. The treads are made of flexible plastic for easy assembly but will not move once assembled.

The RX-77 Guncannon’s torso attaches via a hinged polycap, allowing for the recreation of its’ prone shooting pose. The Shoulder Cannons also connect via polycap for the better posing of the weapons. The Guncannon also uses basic double-jointed knees to provide a dynamic look once completed.
