Hello, I'm Citrus.

This question pops up a lot. Every gunpla builder has probably asked this at least once. Let's answer this dilemma once and for all. And maybe people can just share this post, instead of wasting time repeating themselves over and over again. Okay, so how many of them are there? Counting the normal releases that can be easily found in hobby stores or online, there have been seven so far. They are, in order of release: RX-78-2 , 1995 (colloquially referred to as Ver. 1.0) RX-78-2 Ver. 1.5 , 2000 RX-78-2 Ver. Ka , 2002 RX-78-2 Ver.
