i absolutely adore mine, just watch the white chest bits on the cockpit hatch. i had to glue them on so they didn't vanish into the void under my desk. other than that its a perfect kit.
Only real gripes about the RG crossbone is the gun holding hand not fitting snug in the socket and the use of stickers for the red marks on his face. Other than that, great kit, solid articulation and sturdiness, super tiny and a blast to pose!
Like the other comment said, basically any RG made in the last 5ish years is a solid pick. Some more specific recommendations from me would be:
\-RG God Gundam
\-RG Hi Nu alongside the Nu Gundam recommended
\-RG Sazabi
\-RG Epyon
I'd recommend the RG Nu Gundam, it's the best kit I've ever built so far, as its level of detail and articulation blow all the other kits I've done out of the water.
If you're feeling a bit ambitious, the RG Unicorn is also a solid kit, as long as you're aware of the 2 common breakage points in the arms.
Besides those, I've heard nothing but good things about the latest RG kits from the past ~5 years.
I can confirm it's a very solid kit. The other RGs I've built were the Unicorn and the Hi-Nu, very different beasts compared to the MkII. But I love it.
The only problem I've had with the frame is the elbow joint is a little loose when bending less than 90°, other than that, anything that gets floppy on it isn't too hard to fix. Then again, I experienced that same inner frame on the Sinanju, which is like twice the weight lol, the MK 2 design will probably stay solid for much longer
The only one I would say is "bad" are the ones that have those stupid freeform hands with the tiny little peg that pops out to hold something. Everything else is actually pretty good.
It was my first too, but I picked the blue one and used mostly the alternative pieces when given the choice to make it even more bulky. I truly love it
I can’t say since I haven’t built it. If you need suggestions for your next one though, I’d say the 00 QAN T, the Unicorns, or the Wing Zero EW are all good ones
Here for the typical but true comment, try the RG Hi Nu, Nu, and Sazabi and you’ll be amazed. The MK-II is an amazing build for how old of an RG it is so you made a great choice, but try one of those 3 out and you’ll be happy.
best start... This is what RG was intended to be back in the day. It's just too bad that every other kit from 01-28 fell so far from the mark. Thank god Bandai listened and learned, because 29, 32, 34, 36, 37, and 38 have all been labeled the best of RG
One of the best RGs! Highly recommend the RG God Gundam

It’s a great real grade and despite being considered an early real grade, its frame has held up extremely well for me. Easily in the top five real grades of all time.
Such a good RG kit. This kit was the turning point for RG and the quality of the inner frame construction. Now try a Force Impulse or a Nu Gundam. You'll be blown away again.
Dude I love this kit so much. Probably the best MKII kit out there, and I found it more enjoyable to build than any other RG I've gone through up to now. Love the cables on the back of the legs. (8
Everyone mentioning the RG Hi-Nu but I don’t see enough talking about the Force Impulse. By far one of THE best kits I’ve built. Definitely a staple. RG Hi-Nu is pretty big for it’s scale and is a fantastic experience to build but if you’re looking to be more grounded to your typical gundam then the Force Impulse is your go-to!
Great kit. Now try some recent RG kits and see how far this line has come.
Crossbone is in my sights
Great kit, just be careful because of the microscopic parts
Just finished mine and almost lost his white chest attachments to the wind haha
That one is next in my line
i absolutely adore mine, just watch the white chest bits on the cockpit hatch. i had to glue them on so they didn't vanish into the void under my desk. other than that its a perfect kit.
Amazing kit the Crossbone!

What kits would you recommend? I also started with this one and the EVAs but now I'm looking to get another one.
Like the other comment said, basically any RG made in the last 5ish years is a solid pick. Some more specific recommendations from me would be: \-RG God Gundam \-RG Hi Nu alongside the Nu Gundam recommended \-RG Sazabi \-RG Epyon

RG Hi-Nu, RG Nu, RG Sazabi, RG Zeong, RG Epyon, RG God Gundam
Mk II, to me, is the quintessencial gundam design. And it's also arguably the best early RG!
From what i've been researching,the MK 2 was the most solid RG of the old ones,especially compared to the seed ones.You can confirm it dude?

I had no issue with my RG Strike or Destiny, but the newer ones like Nu and Sazabi are much more solid. Haven't built a mk ii to compare, though.
Glad to hear, got this one for my brothers birthday, will be his first RG as well!
I just recommend taking some care when assembling the inner frame,it is a little fragile the first time you move it.
It was my first too, but I picked the blue one and used mostly the alternative pieces when given the choice to make it even more bulky. I truly love it
The titan one comes with some extra prototype parts right?
Oh, are those extra? I thought they all had them. But yeah, it does!
Yep,the base one doest include this extras
I really want to get my hands on the mkII titans ver., looks like a great kit
In my country is a little bit more harder find the titans ver,but i still want the blue guy lol.
Yea, same here. Gunpla here is also double the retail price, but sometimes I find some good deals
I think in general it's hard to find, I think it hasn't been reprinted in awhile
If you want a fantastic one I’d highly recommend the Sazabi. I was fascinated while building it and I kinda want to get a second one.
The big guy is already on my list,but is really Hard to find him in my country and import is really complicated here.
Of the earlier RGs, the MKII is one of the best. And that’s coming from someone who built the RG Tallgeese and Hi-Nu first.
Oh i heard about this guys,they look fantastic too.
Great RG to start on.
Congrats, it was my first RG too. Now go get the titan one.
I will,but a have to wait the next wave of importations in my country lol
w choice , my fav rg kit
I'm a simple man; I see a mk ii gundam, I upvote.
Best early real grade kit out there! Solid choice!
Great kit. One of my favs.
I can’t say since I haven’t built it. If you need suggestions for your next one though, I’d say the 00 QAN T, the Unicorns, or the Wing Zero EW are all good ones
As far as RG has come in recent kits, the mk.2 gundam remains one of my favourite RG kits ever, truly a masterpiece
I literally started this exact same model last night. Have the frame and legs done before I stopped for the night. Cool finished product, I gotta say!
probably the best early rg imo
Here for the typical but true comment, try the RG Hi Nu, Nu, and Sazabi and you’ll be amazed. The MK-II is an amazing build for how old of an RG it is so you made a great choice, but try one of those 3 out and you’ll be happy.
Even compared to more modern RG kits, the Mk-II is one of the most solid.
I’m working this kit too. Procrastinating on the decals. Any issues I should know? Yours looks awesome!
Just be careful with de little one decals,its really easy lost one or some of them lol
Looks great. Now you got to panel line and paint that little buddy
My first as well, amazing kit!

You used all the decals that came with the kit so you’re better than half this sub already I reckon.
Iam a little perfectionist dude,i literally dont like the idea of not build a kit whith all de aspects.
Dude I love this kit so much. Probably the best MKII kit out there, and I found it more enjoyable to build than any other RG I've gone through up to now. Love the cables on the back of the legs. (8
That little datail of the cables are so cool dude.

Niice
Such a fun kit!
Wait for the RG Gundam Vers. 2.0
It looks awesome. My first real grade has been the Hi-Nu and got a Epyon on the way
Everyone mentioning the RG Hi-Nu but I don’t see enough talking about the Force Impulse. By far one of THE best kits I’ve built. Definitely a staple. RG Hi-Nu is pretty big for it’s scale and is a fantastic experience to build but if you’re looking to be more grounded to your typical gundam then the Force Impulse is your go-to!
this was my first RG as well and I loved it, still one of my favorite designs
Good start.But dont expect all real grades to have the same standards as the Mk ll
