- Here's the High-Grade 1/144 scale Zaku II Type C/C5 The Origin Version. I'm glad we finally got the classic green Zaku out in the Origin line! And it comes with pretty much all the weapons and options you could want!

"I should get to painting one of these soon..."
Has spent 8 months working on a mega size Zaku as a gift.
(good work Zack)
Lynx Gaming he's meaning a Zaku Origins kit... I think he should use that blue color scheme that he used on the Zaku 2 Char's custom head
We need a Zaku with those Origin proportions
Hugely glad they DIDN'T make an army builder a P-Bandai kit. that'd be cruel. Not that it's stopped them before, but still
Yeah, haha I'm also an incoming MS army builder too
Great review man, relaxed presentation and good camera work made me excited for this kit!
Every time I shop at usagundamstore I use your discount code (unless I’ve purchased something recently and received my own code). But seriously, it’s helped me out on numerous occasions. I’ve only recently got into this hobby and between your channel and usagundamstore I’m set. Basically just wanted to throw a ‘thanks’ out there. Keep it up.
The complete package for a zaku. Awesome!
Thanks for the review, I think I'm going to get this kit.
A megasize zaku with all these weapons and I can die happy
Finally, the green zaku ii
I own only one Zeon kit and that's the RG Sinanju. Not really a big fan of Zeon suits other than Sinanju and Nightengale, But the Zaku 2's are starting to grow on me. Thanks for the review! Definitely wanna give this kit a shot.
Very nice kit built mine last week looking forward to that Origins Desert type Zaku the one with the cannon on its back
It's not a Desert Type, just a Zaku Half Cannon, being a standard C5 Zaku retrofitted into mid-range fire support. Nothing in common with desert type other than the colors. Still looking forward to it, though!
I picked up this kit while I was in Japan at the Gundam base and is my second Gunpla figure I have built. I absolutely love it. The amount of accessories and the articulation is seriously badass.
Great kit choice, but poor shop choice! Gundam Base is overpriced. Did you use my Tokyo Gunpla Guide?
@@ZakuAurelius I actually haven't watched that video yet! But I will now!! I did notice that and I just recently bought a GM Sniper II and Full mechanics Vidar kit from a bay area shop for a good price so I suppose I redeemed myself. Hahah. Honestly really looking forward to building the GM Sniper II when I have time but college starts for me again tomorrow so we'll see how much time I do have. hahaha
always hated the ori zaku shade of green but this one.....delicious
Am I the only person who thinks Bandai should make a Master Grade Zaku 3.0?
ZERO i'll be glad with a MG origin zaku 2.. since the 2.0 zaku frame is good.
Sadly, yes.
ZERO yes...
We need less high grades for Zaku 2 AND MORE MASTER GRADE FOR REPLACEMENTS!!! Don't get me wrong I love the Zaku, but considering that RX-78-2 has so many master grades variants, a good display of two gundams that are up to par with each other can never go wrong.
Your not alone
This looks like it's gonna look good alongside the HGBF GM/GM.
I see a small tab on the underside of the sniper rifle chamber, just in front of the magazine. What do you use it for?
I preordered 2 of these from USAGundam store to make a team. I can't wait to get them.
I preordered mine back in July... sadly they got delayed from September ship date to October.
CISsuperdroid ugh. Then how did Zakuaurelius get his?! LOL
It's worth pointing out that Char's markings are also on GD105.
Did it get loose after this vid and also should i buy it
Are you excited for the Zaku half cannon after snapping up this one? (I know I am)
I just got it it will arrive in the post tomorrow
You probably built this without even looking at the instructions LOL I barely glanced at them while constructing my second High Mobility type
Note- this thing is solid. So solid that I completely missed a central chest piece that goes directly goes on top of the waist... and I never noticed anything wrong for a week. Yeah. The upper chest has a "spine" that ends in a get that goes into the waist. The "stomach" is just a piece that goes over the spine and helps to cover up the gap in the back (clear open hole the middle). I only noticed that the piece was missing after seeing the ab crunch on another origin kit video. Even without that piece to rest on, the chest stayed up without any issue. It is a strong "spine".
Already have Char's Zaku II, but finding it really hard to resist buying this one
do it!
Looking forward to your tutorial on removing the seam on the front of the arm. Better replace the wrist socket with a poly cap, otherwise (I heard) switching manipulators will force the seam open...
What’s the difference between C-5 and C-6?
I'm noticing the other backpack(The one you didn't use) doesn't seem to have a hole for the Bazooka holder but then I saw a port on the back skirt. Can you put the Bazooka holder in that port?
Yes
Please include the legs if you do make that video about the seams. I personally found the high mobility type's legs to be a special kind of hell to clean the seam on. It is definitely not beginner friendly when it comes to painting. Maybe I'd get the C5 if the seams on those legs are less awful. The arm seams aren't too bad if you have any sort of scribing tool to clean out the panel line and in the corners.
My C-5 has a commander's antenna and the reasoning is he is a commander of a sniper unit. Gotta keep it military colors, I just custom painted the antenna and spikes and he's good to go, along with that rifle.
man I've broke the clip for holding the bazooka, is there any other Origin kits that has that clip besides any Zaku II variants?
zainul0021 the yms 3 waff. One of the black TriStar zaku ii comes with one but it doesn't use it because he gets the giant axe
Can u review gundam astrea rg? Thanks
Would you recommend this zaku, the RG zaku, or another zaku if you could only get one standard zaku? (Color doesn't matter)
SetsunaKai5 I’d get this one or the HGUC Zaku F2, if you’re talking only between 1/144 scale kits. That’s a little bit just personal opinion, but those two are undeniably two of the best 1/144 Zakus
Thanks for the recommendation!
Told yah. Zaku gonna point out that nasty forearm seam line.
Pwimetime thank you capt. obvious?
Would like to see a Shin Matsunaga colors version of this. Really.
Paolo Antonio Lomotan Shin's Zaku is a R-type, so it will be a color variant of the black tri stars version
Between this and the HGTB Zaku II, which design is better? considering only the mobile suit, and ignoring the big gun.
This is probably “better” objectively. But if you like the TB version then go for it. It’s not bad
@@ZakuAurelius I'll probably decide after watching the origin! But so far TB is my favorite gundam work yet. ☺️
I just got this😁
Just started collecting 1/44 gunpla and so far im in love with uc ms
So far i have:
Rx-78-2 (revive)
Unicorn (rg)
Any more recommendations for the hguc line? I'm considering this one but i think its not yet release here in the philippines
If you buy a hyaku shiki make sure you buy the newer one, it has some improvements from the first. Bu for my recommendation i'd say either, ez8 or ground gundam.
The Hyaku Shiki Revive ver. is good...Then you might want to go for HG Revive Zeta, HGUC ZZ, HGUC Victory 2(All Gundam Project), HGUC Banshee Norn Destroy Mode, HGUC Byarlant, HGUC Delta Kai, Kampfer, Gouf Custom, Char's Zaku II Origin ver.
Also try the RG and/or HG revive version of the Gundam Mk II, and also the HG/RG Sinanju to go with your Unicorn. Pretty much available in SM/Ayala/Robinsons, or through the various hobby shops in Metro Manila.
Kungfu Kenny HGUC gm striker, gabthley, gm powered, byarlant custom, asshimar, gaplant, gaza-c, any char's counterattack hg, hguc Full armor 7th gundam, zogok,and etc
I recommend HG sinanju, HG GM quel, HG the origin char Zaku 1, HG the origin black Tri Stars Zaku 2, RG mk 2 either Titans or aeug, and RG zgok
SaxoRocks well tahts because the hguc line was designed to not cut corners (most of the time unlike the hg ibo line)
i just saw a blaze zaku phantom hg it looks really good and i want tobuy it , im a new builder but im afraid if it will be loose since its old
its the rey za burrel custom
First and awesome...its just so shiny!
yeah! a quick fix!
I feel like they didn't make an action base hole because, if they did, it would be too shallow in the waist due to the need for accommodation of the swinging hip joints; a decent tradeoff, in my opinion.
looks like this will be the placeholder Zaku unit of the 1979 anime OYW diorama as we wait for the HGUC Revive version to be made, despite being super detailed & looks out of place with the Revive RX-78-2, Guncannon, Gouf, & Gyan that has the 1979 anime designs.
I would like to see the zaku revive ver as well. And I wish they make a guntank revive ...
The revive Gundam is really not an anime-style design. It's based on the Real Grade design, which is based on the Master Grade designs, they just wiped out all the surface detail.
Gouf is a bit more anime-styled. Not sure about the Guncannon and Gyan personally.
Difference between r6?
Does anyone know a good hg that's really possible and stable for stop motion (not the rx 78 revive):D
Age Spallow comes to mind
Does the monoeye had that switch??
Alarak Apolaki what switch? so the eye can look the other way, then it is a "yes"
Would you PERSONALLY recommend the zaku I(origin), or this one? So essentially which one do you like more?
Either one is good. But if anything, I recommend the Zaku II Origin High Mobility type.
I do believe he's talking specifically about the green ones. If I had to pick just one it would be the zaku i but I have a job and no children so I will be getting both of them very soon. I was just checking again to see if it came with the long rifle and it does so I'm probably going to be getting zaku II first
Why does it have 2 backpack versions?
One is for the type c, and the other one is for the c5
Is the c6 better??
The Zaku C6 comes with all the chest and shoulder extra pieces that you would see in the Type C5 Zaku, but the Zaku C6 doesn't come with the classic Zaku gun, only the belt version gun. I would buy the Zaku C5 if you want both guns, but other than that everything is the same.
this or the rg version?
warlord13000 tough call! Both are good in different ways. Straight out of the box with no extra work then I’d go RG, but if you’re gonna remove the seams and paint then I prefer the HG
ZakuAurelius Thanks! :)
RG Zaku fingers make me go crazy whenever I tried to pose with them..
Your kit looks like it has a lighter green color than my kit and the other ones on youtube. Is it just me or does your camera see things in a different color.
sp4rrow exactly, Mine Looks dargereicht, too, I gieß it is just has camera
Absolutely need mg treatment
Is it me or the plastic on this kit is really glossy? i like that.
which would be the better buy: this kit or HG Char's Zaku II Origin?
nvm. you said it at the end lol
Kinda thinking about putting weapon binders on that Zaku XD
I take it this is the closest to a HGUC Zaku 2 Revive then?
CommandantAlpha I don't think a revive zaku 2 would look half as good as these origin zakus IMO.
And people want one. I don't get it. I know they like the classic design, buuuutttt..........
Joeie Rivera this is the classic design... It even has the green cables around the head just like the anime
+Anonymous LI The classic design Zaku is much more bulkier than this and had lesser details.
those aren't vernier, its an anti-personel machine guns
Can you rush that seam line vid? I NEED it for my MG Wing Zero Custom.
Please
marcdosh57 just look up a tutorial, if you have plastic cement and a hobby knife and sandpaper you can do it easily. Put the cement on both halves, squish it together allowing the excess liquefied plastic to bubble out, hold it together until it dries, let it sit to cure for a couple hours, then cut away the excess if needed, and sand it smooth. Check out Bunkerpla on UA-cam for some more great tutorial stuff.
Astronopolis thanks but I also wanna learn from zakuaurelius,I've seen many vids and I'd like to see Zaku's technique as well
yes I like "big long rifles" *insert lennyface*
Plz paint it!
For the forearm seam fix check out good guy dan. goodguydangunpla.blogspot.co.za/2017/04/tutorial-seam-repair-for-hg-origin-zeon.html
Ah yeah it's a super easy fix. Without even checking the link I can assume exactly what he did! I've just gotta make the time to make the video!
ZakuAurelius and it works really well I did it to my chars zaku 1. I’d also suggest giving the joint and the inner armor a bit of a sanding cos that part scrapes paint off like crazy.
Colors are really dark
this reminds me of power armor... i'll get this one..
I swear mine is so much darker than this lol
and theres not really any good video reviews about it , except 1 but in another language
First and i'll be first to kill this trend which is just a waste of space in the comment section.
