Black Trojan Horse 1/100 Godzilla Gundam (RX-78 Color) Model Kit

Overview The Black Trojan Horse 1/100 Godzilla Gundam is an original-design mecha model kit that fuses elements from classic Gundam, Evangelion, and kaiju into a single build. This version uses the RX-78 Gundam tricolor scheme - white, blue, red, and yellow - giving the mech-kaiju hybrid a distinctly Gundam-flavored identity complete with V-fin antenna and beam weaponry. Black Trojan Horse is a smaller Chinese model kit brand whose Godzilla Gundam is their first major release, targeting MG-grade complexity in a snap-fit format with an unconventional creature-mecha design. Key Features Mecha-Kaiju Fusion Design: Combines Gundam-style humanoid proportions with Godzilla-inspired features including an articulated jaw, multi-segment ball-joint tail, and oversized digitigrade legs Multiple Build Options: Includes alternate parts for head antenna (V-fin or horn-style), jaw color (white or colored), chest armor (blue or white), and sword grip (black or white), allowing builders to shift the finished look between Gundam and Evangelion influences Full Weapon Loadout: Two beam sabers with effect parts, two cleaver swords with optional beam blade attachments, and a foldable beam rifle with opening breech and separate round Multi-Segment Articulated Tail: Ball-joint linked tail sections provide poseable Godzilla-style tail articulation that also functions as a third support point for stability Translucent Detail Parts: Full transparent pink runner provides blood-vessel-like chest accents and beam effect parts that fluoresce under UV/blacklight 18 Runners: ABS/PS construction across 18 color-separated runners plus one full transparent pink effect parts runner Water Slide Decals: Included decal sheet with black and red marking options Builder Context This kit targets intermediate to advanced builders. It is snap-fit construction, but multiple Chinese-language reviewers and English-language buyers on GundamIT consistently report tight peg fits requiring lubricant or hole-widening at joints, flash on runners and pegs that must be trimmed before assembly, and some loose connections that benefit from reinforcement with cement. The instruction manual contains at least one known part-number error on the right shoulder assembly. Builders experienced with third-party Chinese kits and comfortable with fit adjustments during assembly will get the most out of this build - one GundamIT reviewer described the build experience as "nothing close to a Bandai kit." Why Build This Kit The Black Trojan Horse Godzilla Gundam is one of the only 1/100 scale mecha kits on the market that deliberately blends Gundam, Evangelion, and kaiju design language into a single build - the V-fin head swaps to horn-style antenna, the mouth opens for EVA-style berserk posing, and the segmented tail adds a Godzilla silhouette that no standard humanoid mecha kit offers. At approximately 21-23 cm tall with a full tail and weapon loadout, the Godzilla Gundam occupies comparable shelf space to a Bandai MG kit but delivers a creature-mecha aesthetic that has no direct equivalent in Bandai's catalog. The RX-78 color version is the more approachable of the two available colorways for builders already familiar with Gundam tricolor schemes, while the EVA color version leans into purple-green territory. Builders should know that this kit requires more hands-on fitting work than a typical Bandai MG - peg flash, tight multi-point armor connections, and limited ankle articulation that makes stable bipedal posing require careful balance adjustment or tail-as-tripod support. The Godzilla Gundam is best suited for builders who want a conversation-piece display kit with a unique silhouette and are comfortable doing minor fit corrections during assembly.
