FIX#0007 RX-78-3 G3 was the first repaint figure in the FIX series and the third Gundam figure to come from Gundam MSV series. The set was identical to the previous release #0004 G-ARMOR set but with new gray paint scheme of the G-3 version.  Like FIX #0004, RX-78-3 had superb articulations and excellent details.  The figure came with the G-Fighter also done in G-3 color scheme.  Bandai also included several matching accessories for both the figure and the G-Armor such as the Beam Rifle, Hyper Bazooka, extra Core Fighter in different configuration to form G-Bull and "fake" core to form G-Sky. The G-Fighter can be configured into various mode with or without the Gundam figure.  Shown above are (from top to bottom) G-Armor, G-Fighter and G-Sky.
