Red: That opened armor makes me want to trace every joint from the cockpit outward. I would spend ages rearranging the work arms around it.
AIKO: Around 2,500 parts and multiple lighting points: the maintenance crew has received a highly detailed workload.

The RX-178 Gundam Mk-II is standing with its armor opened and its inner machinery on full display. Photographed at TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO, the METAL STRUCTURE KAITAI-SHOU-KI sample turns the A.E.U.G. machine into a detailed maintenance-bay scene rather than hiding its frame beneath the familiar dark-blue-and-white armor.

The movable frame beneath the armor
Opening and removing the exterior panels exposes the Gundam Mk-II’s movable frame and spherical cockpit. The armor can be deployed for a partially opened look or removed to recreate the full-maintenance state, giving the internal structure a central role in the display.

Work arms, crew figures, and cockpit lights
The dedicated base, articulated work arms, and included mini figures build out the surrounding maintenance bay. Lighting is installed in the main camera, camera eyes, chest sensor, and cockpit interior, while the official configuration also includes lighting in the body and base. The model can additionally be arranged in a high-mobility combat mode.

A 310 mm machine headed for January 2027
The finished figure measures approximately 310 mm tall and is assembled from roughly 2,500 parts in ABS, PVC, and die-cast materials. Its Japanese general-retail release is planned for January 2027, with a tax-included recommended retail price of ¥137,500.
