Gundam RX 78 by Academy (3.75*)

This Korean made Gundam is the largest Gundam action figure I have seen so far.   (B-club made a 2 feet resin kit last year, but that was a static model.)  I saw the original Bandai version, which is less than one half the size of this toy.   This big RX-78 is 16 inches tall and in the same scale as a Godaikin Tetsujin 28 and Marmit Great Mazinger.   It is actually a very detailed toy and has joints in every finger.  I purchased this one at an inflated price from a shop in Santa Monica a few years ago, but it was much cheaper over in the Far East.  (I saw it on sell for around $60-80 a few years ago when I went over there.)
