I'm on fire right now for building my backlogs last year and this time I would like to share with you my piece of mind in this kit, the HG 1/144 Zaku II of Char Aznble from the Gundam the Origin series.
This will be my first time building a Zaku so I really don't know what to expect. But from my experience from this, it come out that this is pretty nice kit! Lets take a look.
MOBILE SUIT
This kit is very articulative. Specially the ab crunches. Elbows are double jointed as well as the knees. The shield is connected by a ball joint on the right shoulder while the shoulder armor on the left is connected in a hinge.
The arms can move forward like any other HG's now a days.
The mono eyes can be adjusted using a peg hidden below the head.
And there is an extra hinge movement on the foot so that it can move forward.
Very articulative it is.
WEAPONS and ACCESSORIES
So here it is together what it comes with
TOMAHAWKS
So there are tow tomahawks that is included on this kit.
The short one has a peg that is intended to store at the sideskirt of the mobile suit, while the longer one is used for the mobile suit to hold on.
Unfortunately, the longer tomahawk cannot be stored or place on the mobile suit while not in use.
This is pretty long riffle. But making a good pose is not an issue with this riffle.
However, there will be a weight issues when holding it just with one arm.
BAZOOKA
The bazooka is pretty nice. Bandai gave a three magazines for this bazooka. One is for the bazooka it self while the other two can be attached on the shield.
Like the riffle, posing this kit with the bazooka is no problem at all.
Oh, and there is an adapter piece included for action base.
The bazooka can be placed on the backpack when not in use.
OVERALL
This is a very nice kit that is good for beginners. If you don't ever built a zaku before and want to try one, this is your kit.
It has pretty nice articulation and pretty deep design for panel lining.
BUILD: 9/10 (good for beginners)
DESIGN: 8/10
PLAYABILITY: 10/10
I have never thought that I would enjoy building a Zaku. That is because I have a mentality that I would not enjoy building an antagonist's mobile suit. Maybe I have to look for other zakus this time.
I would be happy to build other kits than gundam if there will be someone to sponsor it though (ehem)
Well that is my review and please look forward on my next review. Thanks :)
