  • What's Christmas without a review of the Zaku II FZ? Bandai brings us this kit via the High Grade Universal Century line in 1/144 scale and though from a few years ago, some extra care was put in to make sure the Bernie's Zaku is one we'll want to have, so come celebrate Christmas with a look at the iconic grunt suit that's made many a grown man cry.

    This guy just reviewed a delicious Hamburger for Christmas. What a guy.

    Gihren: Hey engineer, could you improve the Zaku?
    Engineer: I can improve all stats and make it easier to build but the cockpit has to be a bright red.
    Gihren: .... but why?
    Engineer: TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
    Gihren took the offer

      It certainly helped Christina aim her beam saber in the end...

    Super well designed kit, it's dead simple to paint in the extra red since they're all sunken in and the articulation does the job decent enough. A little red gundam marker really brings out the detail and makes the kit punch well above its weight for a cheaper old kit. Only issue with mine is a seam across the top of the chest

      Merry Christmas to you too! Hobby Clubhouse is in such a different place already since last Christmas (I think it was something near 300 subs). Glad there's more and more people like you enjoying the content a year later:)

  • @teknonaught
    @teknonaught 2 роки тому +9

    The obvious jokes aside, the Zaku 2 Kai holds up quite well even today, with articulation and things like the head sensor holding it back (as per the review).
    Now if only the HG Alex gets a revive. (And, Tristan too, the poor thing needs somewhat of a redemption lol)
    Also, early x-mas greetings from GMT+8 here!

    • @HobbyClubhouse
      @HobbyClubhouse  2 роки тому +2

      Men of taste all remember the FZ's true name, the Zaku Ii Kai:)
      It really is a lovely kit that is still enjoyable today. I love the colors to no end
      And yes, the Alex needs an update, or at least an upgrade to 1.5. An RG wouldn't be half bad either
      Merry Christmas to you too! I timed it for Australia hitting Christmas, so it probably isn't past 12 yet for most places including where I am actually...

    Merry Christmas! This kit was as lovely as ever and actually made me consider buying this kit cause build really does seem quite nice and the articulation won't bother me as I've realized when I was playing around with my Zaku II FS so I'll definitely be looking out for the kit in the future aswell as the NT-1

    • @HobbyClubhouse
      @HobbyClubhouse  2 роки тому

      Merry Christmas! You really can feel that the designers loved this kit when you have it in your hand and see the color separation, especially when you see the norm from 2008 really aren't as excellent

    Merry HGUC Christmas! this is a true gift, you managed to go through all the seamlines ( next up, nubmarks /jk ).
    I'm a grown man, but I swear I didn't cry, although I never would have bothered to pick this kit up, if not for the backstory. With it's avocado theme, and curry pipes. The build was a hidden gem despite being the most barebone zaku, probably next only to the 80s kits -
    Pretty glad I managed to snag it at exactly box listed price just before pandemic (and the new pricing math - directly proportional to Bandai's new interpretation of 1/144 scale).
    I am always looking forward to more of these old kit reviews - regardless of whether I have or not have, or have a small private army of them.

    • @HobbyClubhouse
      @HobbyClubhouse  2 роки тому

      You're made of much stronger stuff than me. I sob even having watched it so many times...
      But man is this kit charming. If you pose it it kind of gives away its age a bit, but it's a cut above its peers from the same time.
      I think if I don't go back to actual Gundam models soon, there'll be a pitchfork mob before long:)
