　今回reviewするのはガンプラ「HG 1/144 RX-78-2 ガンダム［2020年ドバイ国際博覧会 日本館PRアンバサダー］」です。本来であれば2020年に開催されているはずだった「ドバイ国際博覧会」も昨今のコロナの状況によって各種の世界的イベントと同様2021年に延期となってしまいまして2021年10月1日～2022年3月31日まで開催しています。

　The International Expo (Expo) gathers and promotes its own country, but this time the PR of the Japanese Pavilion will be selected as an ambassador for the animation "Mobile Suit Gundam" that Japan, which exceeds the 40th anniversary, will be selected as an ambassador.became.In light of the global situation, it is hard to go to the site, but Gundam has a wonderful product called "Gunpla", and we can get it.

　The coloring of Gundam this time is handled by the original designer, Kunio Okawara, and is colored in white and red in the image of "Japan", and the marking with the Hinomaru and kanji makes it feel like Japan.The design is faithfully reproduced in this gunpla.

　Looking at the photos announced, the Gunpla body is now on sale from 2015, so I think it's a format of the "HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam" Revive version, and to reproduce the unique coloring.The parts configuration seem to be different.The author also wanted to make it early because the coloring was cool anyway.The kit is on sale at Gundam Base Tokyo and Fukuoka from October 1st, and as of October, the Premium Bandai has been receiving orders for December as a second reservation as a second reservation.

▼ Gundam, the Dubai Expo, is appointed ambassador.Limited gunpla appears!▼ The kit is a special design that has been reconstructed by rebuilding the Revive version of Gundam.Easy to make unique to HGUC!▼ Paste a marking sticker that symbolizes the Japanese Pavilion and it's done!

Check the package.The commemorative package is "foil stamping" and the saved version is decided!

　Let's look at the package content.The runner is A to C and polycap, two stickers, the molded product is 4 pieces, and the impression is very small.In addition to the assembly manual, a leaflet is included, and the package is a luxurious one with full -colored foil.This is a special box that can be stored to keep hand parts etc.

　Looking at the runner, as mentioned above, some parts seem to be reconstructed and redeemed the design data of "HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam" released in 2015.In particular, the blue parts of the chest are white, and the red part of the arm and legs is new.As a result, it feels interesting as a gunpla fan because the runner's parts composition is different from the usual RX-78 Gundam.
