Now that we're almost at the end of 2018, do you notice any warping at the waist ball joint? I got the feeling that the massive weight at the back is going to do that over time.
Zaku 2: Psyco, did you prepare your bag for school? Psyco: Mom, it’s just too heavy! Zaku2: No worries! I know you also have another classmate like you!
The plastic power cables and how they can bend are part of the reason why anytime I have to use those on Parts like the abdomen or the legs I replace them with old hair ties that are stretched out because it's got the braided fiber on the outside that looks almost like a sheathing for a power cable and it's more flexible
Working on building this right now and i plan on repainting all of the orange pieces since they kind of look very plastic-y. All of those thruster bells seems fun as first but now i'm just realizing they are kind of a pain in the butt.
Thx for the review! :D Very good point about the necessity for an additional support piece on the base. It really needed a connector on the backpack instead. Would you say there is any long term chance the torso would come loose from the strain of holding up the backpack? Should I just glue in in place for additional support?
the kit includes optional vinyl cloth covers for the joints, they are optional so you don't have to use them if you don't want to and honestly they don't look very good.
AnyOtherName LikeMashugana I'm sure the kit will be great. you don't have to worry about anything. it uses normal joints just like any other MG kit, they just give you some vinyl tubes to cover them, similar to the Bandai Patlabor Ingram. www.dalong.net/review/etc/ingm/ingm_p.htm
***** a 2.0 wouldn't change anything. the MG Full Armor Thunderbolt Gundam is a new kit and as such it's up to modern standards. plus fully articulated hands wouldn't help any, the interchangeable fingers are designed for holding heavy weapons. and yeah it's a brick no question about that but it being a brick is the point, that's the whole point of full armor Gundams. you don't buy them to do dynamic poses, you buy them to stand there and look badass while covered in a shitload of weapons.
Well, for about the last 8 months or so I've reviewed every single kit that's come out, but I think I might skip those. Joking. Obviously yes, I'm going to review those kits as well.
+ZakuAurelius I have experienced thunderbolt zaku kits with a big gun. I had a hard time with lots of stickers and their huge backpacks.I assume this one is the same?
I'm just considering the fact he said he's a "noob" so building a small housing to fit a polycap might be above his skill level. Just a plastic-on-plastic connection may not be as pretty but it will hold it just fine.
ZAK!!!!!! need help the thruster bells in the side of the crotch piece is missing how am i going to find a spare parts i really need it becuz im going to give this kit to my brother that loves the series of the thunderbolt and he has a cancer stage 2 so pls help for the love of god zak pls!!!!
Sorry to hear about your brother dude. All I can say is you'll have to keep looking for your lost piece. there's not really any way to get a replacement. Another options would be getting a set of Kotobukiya MSG option thruster parts and using those instead.
Are these the MSG parts you are talking about, Zaku? Like these? dc23mecharts.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/img_0119.jpg If you're living within Metro Manila (PH), saw some of MSG parts on ToyTown Glorietta Mall 1 (Makati), Toy Kingdom SM Makati & G/F SM Mega Mall (Pasig city). Hope you can find the thruster parts you need. Otherwise go the mecca of Gundam kits at Greenhills mall X-D
do people think that the best hg line this year is origin i mean, by the design and accesories and articulation, i guess hg origin is doing good rather than thunderbolt and hg ibo
@@ZakuAurelius oh.. I do love the box art on the old one. Thanks! And great review! Makes me want to get the psycho zaku, and full armor. Only got the HG Atlas Gundam. ^_^
Gelo De Vera you know when i hear that Thunderbolt is about sniper and zakus, i thought they strapped a big gun on this thing back when i looked at it before reading lol

I like the idea of storing bombs on the fuel tanks....
Raffaele Passarelli safety last 👍
So does your enemy xD
We're just lucky his enemies couldn't get a hit on them
You do know that unlike in the many Hollywood movies, it actually takes quite a lot of force impact to detonate a warhead?
Honestly considering how often Zeon forces kamikaze their.... everything, it probably makes sense.
It even has thrusters on the mounted shield, the Psycho Zaku is a real piece of work.
I think the underlying design idea for this thing was 'Let's take the Zaku Hi-Mobility Type R2, and crank it up to 11'.
@@Nehfarius That’s generally how it is with thunderbolt design tbh for the better or the worse.
@@MrRe-pg7fj When it works, it REALLY works, but when it doesn't...
I think the HG Gundam Thunderbolt line is just amazing, but it needs the Guncannon, Gouf and Atlas Gundam.
Cr33p3rKid I think we’re fine for gun cannons my shelf is full of them
I don't think people should complain about backpacks on Gunpla until they get this....hahaha
Imagine build fighters mejin getting his hands on this. We'd have the psycho amazing.
Joseph Keeler ikr it will be Zaku amazing+psycho Zaku=
T H E D E M O N I C H E L L S P A W N
@@consul.5557 legit made me LOL
I think amazing psycho has a better ring to it.
Nah he can't get his hands on these
Because if u pilot the psycho zaku you can't have hands
@@poopfart69 I don't think that would transfer over to the orbs they use to control their GunPla
i've finally decided my first Zaku kit! this is so awesome
why do I see you in so many videos
Psycho Zaku the Amazing
that just means ur also in so many videos:)
Igneos Kai can i sub :)
I recommend using Model Master liquid cement to glue those thruster bells to keep them from falling off a lot.
I will, when I paint it.
Now that we're almost at the end of 2018, do you notice any warping at the waist ball joint? I got the feeling that the massive weight at the back is going to do that over time.
I'm one of the people who likes to put main weaponsin the left hand since i'm left handed so i appreciate the inclusion of left trigger finger hands
I still think this suit needs more guns
Nicholas Maz and axes.
@@cammandochicken5034 pretty sure thie thing need more thruster until it can burn enemy
Awesome review as always bro, keep it up!
thanks!
+ZakuAurelius you're welcome! XD
My friend bought this and the full armor gundam. He said building the full armor was a lot easier than the psycho zaku
Yes, this Zaku is freaking harder than FA gundam
It's just an upgraded version of the Zaku High Mobility Type, but with a lot more weaponry.
And a thicc backpack
But a downgrade for a non disabled pilot.
Zaku II Wheelchair
the zaku machine gun Thunderbolt version might be the best one. the stock is amazing. it barely gets in the way.
....Needs more verniers
one of the most longest review you did zak. can't wait for winter to come and get the mg version of it.
Haha, I've got older reviews that are longer. But yeah, this is the longest one in a while.
Zaku 2: Psyco, did you prepare your bag for school?
Psyco: Mom, it’s just too heavy!
Zaku2: No worries! I know you also have another classmate like you!
Like the large and cool zaku 3
That's one bad ass Zaku. That's alot of tiny thrusters to cut and sand.
Now THIS, is no Zaku. Boy.
I like this more than the mg version that has a dilddo gas tank in the middle.
The plastic power cables and how they can bend are part of the reason why anytime I have to use those on Parts like the abdomen or the legs I replace them with old hair ties that are stretched out because it's got the braided fiber on the outside that looks almost like a sheathing for a power cable and it's more flexible

This is my first Gunpla and it's so hard took 7 hour for first time like me
But Zack ! The real question is ...Can the Psycho Zaku cook with that bulk and arms ??!!
Why does the shield on your Psycho Zaku look wavy in this video Zach?
that's just color in the plastic. Once it's painted that won't show at all.
เป็นซีรีย์มี่รายละเอียดสุดยอด อาวุธนี่สามารถแจกจ่ายให้หุ่นตัวอื่นได้ใช้ร่วมได้ด้วยสุดยอดจริงๆนะ
i wish they make TB version of gelgoog , and maybe DL acguy too
Popping thruster bells- design flaw or design feature?
DreamPen last ditch weapon?
Thx for the review! :D
Very good point about the necessity for an additional support piece on the base. It really needed a connector on the backpack instead. Would you say there is any long term chance the torso would come loose from the strain of holding up the backpack? Should I just glue in in place for additional support?
You could put some glue in the mid-section yeah!
Lookin like a chaos space marine, I love it
are you also gonna review the MG thunderbolt Ver. KA the elbow joint is kinda weird when i saw it on Gundam Guy facebook
the kit includes optional vinyl cloth covers for the joints, they are optional so you don't have to use them if you don't want to and honestly they don't look very good.
im gonna w8 for the review b4 buying it i guess

I'm actually working on this one right now. I probably should have waited for the MG but that's fine I guess, I may as well have both :P
So, with the weight thing, where because of the backpack it leans back, does it mean it can break???
Hi, Zak, are the thrusters of these compatible to RG MK-II in the backpack? I've lost one vernier.
Anyone notice the EVA Unit 2 Color Scheme ?
zeek are asuka fans.
I wonder if this kit still solid after a few years
So guys this and full armor or the ver ka sazabi and Nu gundam ver ka ?
yeah that pose was better and it solves the problem on the weight at the back.
Agreed! ^^
Would’ve been nice if it included the Beam Bazooka (can’t remember its actual name)
With me the middle part broke the part where the hoses to attach i could not get it on there properly
A million and a hundred thousand... that's a lot of thrusters.
Cleaning thruster bells seems to be your nemesis.
haha, they are tiny and hard to hold!!
i put a wooden skewer thru them, that way you can de nub very easily! paiting too
The individual Zaku 2 exists (maybe just not very common?), i bought one myself
it has the manga-style box art
he's saying the anime color version never got released as a stand alone kit.
oh lol
laozi8128
it doesn't really matter to me though since I prefer the manga colors.
Can't wait for Ver Ka! Gonna get the HG ver anyway.
Ghost L the ver ka isshit
I broke the leg on mine
Are the limbs and back pack of the hg gto zaku 2 compatible with this zaku? Wondering if i can kitbash them..
I believe so, but you can check the manuals to be sure. You can see scans on dalong.net
@@ZakuAurelius thanks!
Does this build have an included base stand?
are you going to do a video on the force impulse and full armor unicorn gundam red colour?
Well, for about the last 8 months or so I've reviewed every single kit that's come out, but I think I might skip those. Joking. Obviously yes, I'm going to review those kits as well.
+ZakuAurelius woooohooooo.!!!
All they had to do was put the connection to the action base on the backpack to fix that weight issue
yup... oh well hey!
does anyone know if i can use beam bazooka from dom test type on this kit
I just got my Kshatriya on a base, I don't want to get another one so soon, Bandai pls
Do you have a hg RX 79 ground type for review? 8th MS team was my first Gundam series.
I don't, sorry!
+ZakuAurelius Its an old kit anyway. it really needs a revive or real grade.
The MG is about to be...radical.
The price one this zaku with a mf big backpack is really cheap and worth your money 🙌
ZakuAurelius Judging from the design it must've taken you a very long time to build it.
yeah even for a snap build it takes a while.
+ZakuAurelius I have experienced thunderbolt zaku kits with a big gun. I had a hard time with lots of stickers and their huge backpacks.I assume this one is the same?
So what's the difference between the anime ver and the manga ver of all of the thunderbolt kits?
Very slight differences. Nothing in terms of different parts.
Does the kit comes with extra parts to config the legs like regular zaku?
Genma Shiranui nope
Do you think you can mod the backpack to hook up to the stand? And could a noob like me do it?
Get yourself a drill and a polycap for that
Don't even really need a polycap. Just a drill and knife to cut a hole at the base of the backpack to fit on an action base connector.
+ZakuAurelius Yeah, but the polycap would make the connection tighter than just plastic rubbing against plastic.
I'm just considering the fact he said he's a "noob" so building a small housing to fit a polycap might be above his skill level. Just a plastic-on-plastic connection may not be as pretty but it will hold it just fine.
I make mine standing by itself using the lower back cannon as as "stand"
The pilot is now the UC equivalent of Ein Dalton.
Marcohazard he did it first before ein
ok this will be my next kit
is psyco zaku is char's zaku:)
It's Lorenz Daryl's Zaku
Is there a stand
ZAK!!!!!! need help the thruster bells in the side of the crotch piece is missing how am i going to find a spare parts i really need it becuz im going to give this kit to my brother that loves the series of the thunderbolt and he has a cancer stage 2 so pls help for the love of god zak pls!!!!

ZakuAurelius but zak im from the philippines theres no way i can get to japan but how can i get that your suggesting to me without going to japan
I didn't say to go to Japan. You can buy Kotobukiya option parts in the Philippines...
ZakuAurelius where?
Are these the MSG parts you are talking about, Zaku? Like these? dc23mecharts.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/img_0119.jpg

do people think that the best hg line this year is origin i mean, by the design and accesories and articulation, i guess hg origin is doing good rather than thunderbolt and hg ibo
Hey ZakuAurelius, ever heard of the Extreme Gundam?
yep
why is the backpack on this kit more identical to the anime compared to the master grade
Mg was ver ka
cant wait for MG version
I love zaku, but I just can't convince myself to buy this because of all its veniers
get the MG version. it comes out at the end of the year.
What's the difference with the other release?
Box art
@@ZakuAurelius oh.. I do love the box art on the old one. Thanks! And great review! Makes me want to get the psycho zaku, and full armor. Only got the HG Atlas Gundam. ^_^
coolest zaku
Does this kit have any spare parts that you haven't mentioned?
I don’t recall but probably. Just check the manual. on the parts list, any part with an X on it isn’t needed
@@ZakuAurelius ok, thanks.
Can those manuals be found online somewhere?
that is one super back heavy Zaku..wish they give like a shoulder cannon or shoulder rocket launcher etc instead
How height for this Zaku ? 14cm?
Overkill Zaku should be the name :P
haha, you can never have too many guns!
First thing I thought was. If he gets shot all his ammo will explode on his face. Also why so many same guns and not just ammo? Because Bandai :p
Do you own an hg RGM-79C GM type C?
Nope.
Does it come with a stand?
That One Zaku yes it does :)
you again
What's the difference between the Anime version and the Manga version
iirc the colors are slightly different
@@ZakuAurelius oh, that's neat
I think the anime has an extra big ass rocket fuel tank
How heigh for this Zaku? 16cm?
More power and more speed.
anyone knows how many runners does this kit has????????
dalong.net
It cool but they add a long range sniper gun just like the hg origin char zaku with sniper gun with zaku denim and slender 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wat.
Gelo De Vera you know when i hear that Thunderbolt is about sniper and zakus, i thought they strapped a big gun on this thing back when i looked at it before reading lol
I'm scared building this kid cause I'm not so good at removing nubs
well if super zaku combined with psycho zaku this thing gonna rekt everything
super zaku custom + psycho zaku + 3times faster + new type = war machine
im not talking about the war machine from the marvel universe
This suit needs more cowbell.
Well maybe Armor is short for Armory
This kit is Bizarre, i wonder why char's never get this zaku? (i know it happen in 0079)
the problem is where you can display it...
Because Tomino is not a weapon maniac,but a "kill 'em all" one?
He already get a more powerful mobile suit : Gelgoog and Zeong.
Probably because Char never lost is limbs.
robot-arms Quattro would have kicked some Titan ass.
I loved the OVA. It was amazing!
Dylan100ization It looks pretty messed up, though.
War is messed up.
YES this is mine I got it
