  • Here's the High-Grade 1/144 scale Zaku Half Cannon. These HG The Origin Zaku variant kits keep on coming, but man are they great! It may be a small thing, but the inclusion of an open right hand is one great addition!

    No wonder Zeon lost the war. They spent all their money on zaku variants.

      Jake Theberge tweaking already existing suits is a far better than constantly devolping different mobile armor prototypes

      OnFireGamer, agreed, however, Zeon did make too many water based suite.

      Jake Theberge that and limited resources cause them the whole war.

    • @clarencedelacruz7822
      @clarencedelacruz7822 6 років тому +5

      If they decide to make another suit midway into the war, it will cost them more. Like the comment earlier, it is better to upgrade existing models rather than make new ones

    • @jaketheberge1970
      @jaketheberge1970 6 років тому +6

      OnFireGamer I know. Its why the zaku f2 exists. I was mainly poking fun at bandai's mass over production of origin zakus.

    Never tired of gunpla reviews! I watch reviews for figures I would never get and sometimes I end up wanting them(for accessories or whatever). Im waiting for this kit to come in in the next hour or 2. Awesome that you did the seam !line video as its about to be NY first HG and hopefully first painted kit!

    I love this kit, probably my favorite HG Origin Zaku retool. Looks great once panel lined. The gatling gun is awesome.

  • @McLeod917

    Its weird that the Half-Cannon came semi recently as a UC MSV-R design but its first gunpla is Origin MSD kit. Either way looks pretty cool

  • @shezmu24

    Great review, I painted some white accents on things like the head, shield, hands, etc and it really makes it stand out, I paired it with my c-6 kit and they look great together.

    This is my favorite of the new Zaku kits, although the red trim stickers suck; it was easier to mask and paint them and looks better.

  • @faizizz4062
    @faizizz4062 5 років тому +5

    Yay, I just finished building this kit yesterday and I have to say it looks way better on the flesh.
    Those red stripes stickers are horrendous, though. Bandai seriousy needs to update their waterslide decals for the HGGO line.

  • @TsorovanZero
    @TsorovanZero 6 років тому +2

    I absolutely do want to see your tips for modifying the legs. The leg seams on the high mobility were hell to deal with, and those tips may have made that build less painful. Those normal Zaku legs look a lot less difficult to seam weld than the high mobility type's.

    I have way too many zaku 2s, MG and HG, and yet I'm still not tired of it. Every HG they come out with (recently) has new parts that make customization incredibly easy and fun. I'm definitely getting this one to go with my C5. I am definitely repainting it. I kinda wish the color palette they chose was the same as the Thunderbolt Zaku 1 (I really loved that kit).

    Oh NO!!!!! You got the cheek-pipes upside-down!!! They should curve upwards as they go to the back of the head, so you have unrestricted head movement!

    • @cissuperdroid

    • @RogueGouf
      @RogueGouf 6 років тому +6

      Seems really common for the HG zaku kits people always get them upsise down for some reason. Plus lots of builders don't look at the manual to much if they have built the kit too much

    • @cissuperdroid
      @cissuperdroid 6 років тому +4

      Travis Nichols Oh yeah, that's a fair point. Burn-out from oversaturation of variants can make them fall back on memory rather than referencing the images.

  • @dol_mel7487
    @dol_mel7487 6 років тому +2

    I never got why this ended up retail while the Zaku cannon test type ended up as a p-bandai because a origin Zaku that isn't just a basic weapon swap probably would be far popular sales wise to one that looks like the same Zaku 2 suit with a different backpack, but oh well. Here's to hoping bandai releases a proper hg origin Zaku cannon as a retail kit

    Might be the Build Fighter in me, but I would kinda like a cannon mounting for the left Smoke Launcher side of the back pack, and maybe a right Smoke Launcher while we're at it...

    Can they give us some alternate origin hands for the zaku. Some left trigger finger and right Open Hands would be great.

    is it possible to put both the cannon and the Gatling gun on the backpack at the same time ? ( one on each side )

  • @dongdynamics

  • @Femo-ok

    One kit we do need in this line is the revised version of the Guncannon in white base colours (aka the one in red with regular hands, two shoulder cannons and two vents on the backpack).

    • @Femo-ok
      @Femo-ok 6 років тому

      It is not the same design though, especially if you look it from the back. The classic version has that kinda goofy pair of cylinders on the back and the origin one got a couple of more industrial looking vents.

  • @itaynoy4042
    @itaynoy4042 Рік тому

    I have this one and it my first Gunpla but I guess I played with it to much and the joints got loose also some parts broke like a piece on the head which holds the pipes and the deactivated heat hawk but I managed to fix it, those in my opinions are the only negatives. BUT they get over shadowed by THE WEAPONS although I did wish it came with a zaku machine gun but I understand. yeah 8/10

      Vust Valeo weren't the hguc high mobility type zakus essentially revives cause if I recall they had different proportions compared to the normal hguc zaku though tbh the reason why is probably because of the hg origin Zaku

      Out Of Box- as in the kit is presented exactly as it would be right out of the box without any painting or anything added. The term
      “Out of box” in modeling can also refer to painting a kit in its official color scheme, but that’s not how I mean the term for these reviews.
