Product Overview
The HGUC 1/144 RX-78NT-1 Gundam Alex recreates the prototype Newtype-use mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Developed as an advanced successor to the original RX-78-2 Gundam, the Alex features upgraded mobility, enhanced responsiveness, and distinctive armor styling. The kit accurately captures the machine’s sleek silhouette while including its iconic Chobham Armor system, allowing builders to display the suit in either its standard or heavily armored configuration.
This High Grade kit offers solid articulation and multiple display options through its extensive weapon loadout and transformation features. Forearm-mounted Gatling Guns, a beam rifle, shield, and removable armor components provide a variety of posing possibilities. The combination of its memorable design, anime significance, and unique armor gimmick makes the Gundam Alex a standout addition to any Universal Century collection.

More Info
About RX-78NT-1 Gundam Alex
The RX-78NT-1 Gundam Alex was developed by the Earth Federation as a prototype mobile suit specifically intended for Newtype pilots. Originally planned as a personal machine for Amuro Ray, the unit incorporated significantly improved reaction speed, mobility, and combat performance compared to the RX-78-2 Gundam. Due to the timing of the One Year War, the Alex never reached Amuro and instead became involved in the events depicted in War in the Pocket.
