"Gundam Kao Daijinten," which explains and introduces faces (the heads) of Gundam- from the very first Gundam to Gundam OO -, was released on the 16th, and it was sold at Melonbooks Akihabara & Toranoana 1st Branch.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Mobile Suit Gundam," the book collected "all faces of Gundam" from all 18 works of Gundam series!

This book puts "Gundam faces" (125 faces). The concept is "able to recognize many Gundam faces in a second"; you are able to look and think about how the design of faces changed by riffling through the pages.

Introduction by Amazon

By the way, an explanation written in "Gundam Kao Daijinten" about RX-72-2, the very first Gundam, was, "the father of different kinds of Gundam faces," "RX-78-2 --- established the values of a Gundam-like face. It also established some parts such as a V-shaped antenna, two eyes that look like people's eyes (Dual Sensor), Radiator on his cheeks, etc. Not only the shape, but also the atmosphere is succeeded to the future bodies. That shows how high the quality of RX-78-2 is."
