Bandai Hobby MS-06S Char's Zaku II Ver 2.0 Master Grade Action Figure, Model:BAN149834 Red

CONS . Personal irritation. Something that bugs me is I enjoy the box the kit comes with because I enjoy seeing and collecting them and or store my built kits that I don't have on display on my self at the moment ..... Out of all the MG Gundam kits I buy from Amazon comes in a box with bubble wrap and protected . When I recived my kit is was in a loose plastic bag and the box was a little damaged . So I would give this buy a 4 star . I Only gave 5 stars because its a complete kit and and legit and I'm not gonna use my personal feeling for a non defected Item, evrything in the box was sealed and Manual was there too . Would I buy again even if it came like this yes because this kit was hard to come by for me and my local stores did not have them in stocks for a long time . All in all Its Char Zaku so why not 😀! Will post photos when I get to finish building the kit

my second mg, the build was nice, it doesn't look too bad out of the box but it could use a matt finish and so that's what I did, doesn't need painting at all but some panel lining would do. the kit comes with a Zaku machine gun, a Zaku bazooka, a heat hawk, a lift and two pilots: standing and sitting. the inner frame is amazing with all the molded plastic, i might buy the clear version or at least another one just to paint and show the frame. the hands are three one and the thumb and separable with second joints on the middle. over all this kit is good and like i said, i would buy a second one just to show the frame.

Was delivered in just the original packaging, so no shipping box, so the box had some minor shipping defects. Other than that this build was super fun!

Bueno

This has got to be the most amazing Char's Zaku kit to date. The exterior detail is a bit lacking but the overall look and articulation is phenomenal! You can't get any better then this (unless the inevitable 3.0 comes out). Plus, just a simple flat top coat will make this kit look even better. Get this kit, because you will not regret it.

I’m still working on it after a month, it’s so fun

First and foremost- this is an amazing kit, well worth your money, and if you are in this hobby, you generally should own a Zaku ii. It is highly poseable, has a neat sideskirt gimmick to get more flex, and the only general complaint about the completed kit people usually have is about the hand and weapon pegs.The build is generally highly enjoyable, and the inner frame looks amazing. However, with my title, you are waiting for a "But". "But.. the pipes can be a literal pain".The hoses are small red armor pieces preassembled onto what amounts to a polycap runner. The core of the hoses are made of this polycap material, and the runner is set up so you could slide the red armor parts right onto the core and then snip it out.The "But" is that the red armor pieces are VERY tight at the beginning. Each and every one has to be wiggled and pried before it moves. The main complaint about the build most people have is "it causes me blisters". You would do well to get a tool like pliers.... or your teeth.... to do the job instead.General tips for this part- cut up the runner so you have a nice hand hold onto the part you are working with. You want to be able to twist and turn it well. You want your 'tool' to be BEHIND the armor piece (in between the pieces, and you should push it further down the runner. You don't want to grab it directly with the metal tool (or teeth) since you risk marking it up.

Been wanting this kit for the longest time. It's been added to my ever growing backlog, but the collection is almost finished. I have inspected each runner and they're all perfect! Can't wait to start this build. Still need a Zaku II 2.0 though. Upon recently, my Nephew has grown to like building gunpla, he saw this in my closet... and asked if he can build it. Of course... I said no. For now. lol Got to start him on HGs first. let him get used to cutting the parts off the runners and cleaning them up, then we shall see.
