Who needs a revive kit when you have this hunk of Zeon engineering
And remember kids, if it's red it's 3 times faster!
We still got a revive tho
He cant see your comment anymore because hes probably watching other stuff but i agree with ya
This definitely needs a master grade to accompany the Origin RX-78-02.
Got the MG origin kit today and the char origin zaku both were good price.
Salmon, when something is too manly to be pink.
+Admiral H.T.H lol, right! But I would say it is definitely a different color, salmon has more orange to it I think.
My first kit, I just finished it and I am instantly hooked on this hobby!! Thank you for your videos.
Got this a couple weeks ago, and don't regret it one bit. This is THE definitive HG Zaku II to get. I've never felt inclined to complete a Black Tri-Stars group of units...until I got this guy. The promo pics of the upcoming Black Tri-Stars kits look really encouraging.
By the way, rather than swap out the RGs power cables, you might consider getting 3rd party cable sections or Bandai's Builders Parts MS Pipe set: img.amiami.jp/images/product/main/133/TOY-GDM-2408.jpg
The long rifle was what sold me to this kit. It just looks like it came from a real grade kit! can't wait for the tri stars too though ^^ Great review btw, you covered pretty much all the bases
I really like this kit, especially the details and accessories. By the way, your intro is very very cool compared to the previous one!
Thanks!
It's an ambidextrous bolt...and yes it's used to load a round from the magazine into the chamber so it can be fired.
It's 2019 & I just bought this kit after watching this video not knowing it was made 4 years ago. (Thanks)
I know it is old but thanks for this reveiw. Needed a chars zaku but just built the rg ridden and wanted a chreaper/different option for his and i love the rifle that comes with this along with thge extra panel detail. Though, the idea of storing missile launcher ammo on the front if a shield is silly.
I might be getting this and the rest of the series
Thanks for the review
A lot of details and panel lines on this kit, this is great for this line of figures, it looks less cartoonish, great possibilities for paint job I guess. Great review as always, Greetings.
Tigrillo Thanks bro! Definitely going to be a great looking kit when it's all painted!
Nice review! Will be getting this, the colors are great!
CiroStrike105 Agreed!
Nice review! For my first Zaku II I'm thinking of this one or the RG Johnny Ridden's Zaku II 1/144
Besides the eye, all of the negatives listed are universal to all HG Zakus.
I'm definitely getting this. The proportions are so much better than the last HG Zaku mold for the MSVs.
Otonashi That's right! And yeah, the proportions are very nice!
Man I am loving this kit all the weapons I can't wait to get zaku 1
The Red Comet and add it to my collection.
Bolt. In case you were interested. On the sniper rifle, he would use that little button to charge the bolt, I.e. Load the gun. Thanks for your videos
This channel was top of the list recommended channel for more subscribers, says Vegeta8259.
Great stuff Zaku, looking forward to more great uploads.
Rock on bro.
johnboy384 Haha, I noticed that! He really did me a favor there! I have a lot of respect for the guy!
ZakuAurelius
Dude you deserve it, the effort put into this channel is pure class. It must take a lot of time not to mention the cash. You'll have 10k in a few more months I reckon.
johnboy384 Well I appreciate that you recognize the effort! It does take a lot of time and I put a lot of stuff to the side to focus on this channel. But so far it's been worth it!
Just starting out as a beginner, I just ordered this one yesterday as my very first kit. Did I make a good choice for my first build? The amount of choices available can make this hobby kind of intimidating for newbies.

" *ZIEG ZEON!!!* "
for the cable on the legs, have you ever thought of filling up the left space of the holes to make the cable more tighter fitted.
This model figure to me completed is over all better then the RG, its more durable and solid and has an over all bulk toughness has little to none parts falling of like the RG has I think with the RGs tubes and head this would be perfected.
Angel Torres Yeah definitely if this kit was improved in a few areas it would be perfect. Sadly it's not. But that's ok! Still a great kit!
nice review= nice kit
hope to buy one those soon
nash Labra Definitely do buy it!
i love it just got it done just now
My first gunpla it's really fun assembly the parts
Gonna buy this when I see it
Isnt comparing an HG kit to an RG a bit harsh? Other than the arm seamlines the flaws mentioned were benchmarked by the RG it seems.
Why? Price difference isn't that big.
@@dharkann age difference is tho
does the zeon marker set would par on the color of this kit? because the marker ser has Char's colors
Will get this one to match up with the RX-78 Revive version I ordered as well.
same
tho I might get the zaku amazing instead
Just a question about the HGUC Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Destroy Mode: Is it a hard build or not, because I have only built 4 kits at the time I am writing this.
Please respond, because I was thinking of getting that kit
Cool kit, looks like a nice base to build future zakus. Give us an update on the swapping the power cables, hope the RG cables work. My only gripes about the kit first, the skirts look like reused zaku II skirts, don't like all the holes. second, the power cables, but I have that complaint about every zaku kit.
Thanks for the video, seeing in action really helped me finalize my plans for the kit, and I'm happy I ordered two of them.
fuzzyhawk down It's not perfect, right, but definitely nice and worth buying!
i saw HLJ post an alt release date for this with the Bugu shield. Is that where you talking about in a previous video?
Crim Zero yap!
Excellent review Sir, I just have a couple of bugs about your review if you'll hear me out.
I too have this kit, and I do think it very lovely, but I think at some points in your review, you were not being fair to the kit. Comparing a HG (Even a new one) to a kit of a similar model in the RG line is imo, not the best benchmark. Points like the shoulder joint or the head, it's tough to compare to a line (RG) that is more or less a scaled down MG. This is HG. I just think that comparing this kit to a fellow HG Zaku II would have really made this kit shine in comparison.
However I do agree, the piping is a bit of a let down, but nothing a little putty and paint can't fix.
Thank you very much for all the reviews, and please keep up the good work!
Travis
Travis Bliss Thanks for your input! The reason I compared it to an RG is because the kit is so nice. So a lot of people were asking me if the kit was actually nicer than the RG. Of course it's not going to be as nice as the RG, but it definitely has a lot of great things going for it. That was my point. Again though, I appreciate the feedback!
Just got this. Along with the HG Denial Gundam.
There any place to buy red metallic stickers though because I feel it would fit this kit better than that matte pink? Red? Can't tell really. Regardless any clue if anyone knows a place to purchase said metallic monoeye
what action base should i use for this? action base 1 or action base 2?
Great review as usual. Probably gonna get the green one when it comes out. Does the peg on the long rifle fit in the hole on the backpack? It looks like it might be able to.
***** I couldn't get it to fit anywhere on the kit. Looks to be only part of the design of the rifle.
***** It is a charging bolt for chambering the rifle. They really could have made it not look like a peg.
Did you use a surface coating for that cause it looks great I'm so going to get one!
Kyle Hartnett Nope! this is just fresh out of the box, that's it!
Do you usually snap everything together, then disassemble it to paint, or paint as you put the kit together?
MansuDC2 Yes, that's right. Snap together first, then disassemble for painting!
It's a HG alright. Still nice colors and lots of details. Thx for the video!
Sir Saber You're welcome!
ZakuAurelius is this unpainted
magnasupreme
It says OOB Review which means Out of the box review. So yes it is unpainted.
Definitely one of the better HG kits. I still don't get the logic about the ammo storage though...why would someone keep explosives on shield that's supposed to be taking a hit??? lol
Thanks for the review! I think I will go for an RG one for now.
CrazyPiPo I totally agree about the ammo storage on the shield. What's that about?
ZakuAurelius Haha. Those under the Mk-II's shield kind of makes sense since they are not really exposed. Jump to a different league here but I think MG Sazabi Ver. Ka's shield is the best one out there.
Nice review...
johnpaolo recato Thanks!
the zakus reminds me of warhammer 40k's space marine and armored trooper votoms
I can't believe that it didn't come with its standard rifle but it's still a great kit except that The waist filler doesn't want to stay
I definitely like the zaku one leg construction better
Excellent review as allways and comparing this to the regular hg, I think its much better in about every way, the only thing is that the regular hg has a bigger shoulder(the one with spikes) and I like it better than the smaller one on this kit and the sticker eye has allways really bugged me, it's just a flat surface with a pink sticker, that's really lame, they should at least put a raised section for the eye so the eye sticks out more, but I usually cut a piece of a clear runner, sand it down and paint clear color and glue it on, so it looks like a mono eye
Chris Vinson That's a great idea! I'll maybe do that in a video later, short tutorial, thanks Chris!
"How many times must I tell you? You can't hit me when I'm PINK!"
Well, of course. This is Char Aznable...
Hguc jesta comes with 7 hands! I think the only hand it doesn't come with that you could possibly want is a left trigger finger hand
Is this kit better than HGUC char zaku 1 origin version?
Does anyone has problem during assembling the head ? The mouth part to be more specific ? Mine come off very often and i'm afraid of losing the part
Yeah, I glued mine
Great review, i felt very much the same way while building this kit.
I really like it, but i just wish they had done a little more with the piping and the monoeye.. what a bummer! Heres my finished kit imgur.com/iq1SMcU,Eio3nmF,Nyyu2Vd
does it come with the machine gun? planning to collect this with the revive rx 78-2
+Sonicfrais Heya Strangely enough, it does not come with the Zaku machine gun...
The sniper rifle is probably bolt action so those round pegs are probably the bolt. Although it's on both sides (design choice I guess) but strange how they wouldn't make the hole smaller to fit as a peg.
I agree with what you hate the most though. The piping on the waste is a big letdown. Also the head and mono eye was kinda lame but probably not that hard to replace the eye.
Morganix01 Yeah, pros and cons~ Still overall many more pros than cons!
Do you think there will be rx 78 version of the 'the origin' series? Soon?
Gigs Mendiola I don't know! But I guess so? I haven't read the manga, but I imagine that the design is slightly different. So whenever it appears in the series I'm sure we'll get a new kit!
It s a shame that this new kit doesnt have a rifle
Just to makes things clear, this is not part of the HGUC line up. The Origin is actually not canon to the original show that's why they started up with the new HG line just like the HG Thunderbolt kit. Great review as usual :D
叶川ヒロ Ah! Ok, thanks! Good to know!
I would think the peg on the rifle is for the side of the back pack not the side of the skirt
What do you think the best topcoat for this kit? Gloss or flat?
didaswiwaw That's totally up to you and the desired look you want to give the kit. Personally I'd go with flat, but that's just me!
,.. much respect to the origin..
Pki Anjing Indeed! I loved the first episode, and the kits so far look great!
Do you have the hguc msv high mobility, how is that compare to this
Pki Anjing I don't. But maybe that would be good to compare with the upcoming Black Tri-Stars version?
ZakuAurelius yaya, ow its superb actualy.. for me.. i gree with you the head is a bit off, actually the skirt and tigh are off too for me.. but its a different zaku its the origin' it still give me thrill
I think the only Zaku II kit I've ever been disappointed with was the 2003 kit.
I prefer this one just for the bigger bazooka and the sniper rifle, I really hate the inner frame gimmick or the Zaku II Char custom
A zaku unboxing a zaku
hobby wire coiled up and then those RG beads will fix those energy cables.
Bob Dabuilder Yeah, definitely going to replace those.
It reminds me of the Zaku Amazing from GBF
***** Oh no! Don't say that! I don't like that design at all~ haha
I hated that suit and that kit
hope yll customize it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dark Enjy Most likely not! Haha, it's already customized! I am definitely going to paint it though~
waiting for it !!!
How different is the red colour of this or the zaku i char to Johnny ridden's?
the ridden zaku is a very warm red
Shawn Johnson ah... I see. Thanks
would you recommend this over the master grade 2.0?
No. The MG 2.0 Zaku is one of the best MG kits you can get (any variation of the 2.0 Zaku). That being said, depends on what you want. If you prefer 1/144 scale then this is probably the best 1/144 Chars Zaku II
ZakuAurelius thanks for replying, I'm about to buy my first kit (I want it to be char's Zaku) and your channel has been of great help
Ernesto Castrejon The Zaku 2.0 is a beautiful masterpiece IMO. I have 3 Zaku and a Gouf 2.0 and I don't regret a thing.
MG RX-78-02 Gundam (Origin Ver.) Announced!
+watcher guy That's right! But it's just RX-78, there is no 2 on there cause it's the Origin version ;)
whats the difference between this and the red comet version?
the weapons and markings
the shield part, how is it connected to the arm?? What is connecting it??
A small grey piece on a ball joint.
So, I'm just trying to understand, in between the shield and shoulder, is a ball joint, correct??
Yes!
nuts!!! okay then, thank you, sorry for the trouble.
My gunpla friends consider this even better than the RG.
Hardcore Unicorn! In some ways, I could see that! But overall I still think the RG is better. Just a matter of personal taste maybe!
why don't they re release this kit in normal Zaku colors?
I'm sure they will! In the mean time, you could always paint it.
FederationPilotLouis98 it was three years but they did it
remember that this is 3 times faster than normal.
that's defiantly and anti ship rifle
i mean it is based off of an anti tank rifle
looks like an ambi charging handle
Personally i wouldnt use this as a char kit. im going to pretty much mash it with the old Zaku I HG and turn into the origin ver. Zaku I. think that would be a better use of this kit.
tardislord02 Hopefully they'll be making an Origin version of the Zaku I as a new HG kit later this year or next year!
Your reviews are really amazing but I think you should cut the videos into parts so that if we wanted to see articulation or design we can click the video related to the subject we want.
Thien Diep Good idea! I'll consider that.
I think the word your looking for is charging handle. lol
Peg looks like a charging handle but usually it would be forward along the slide and not towards the back. So ... who knows. Bandai design shrug.
tyang10 Yeah, oh well~ haha
new design of the Thais 😂
Nope I want the anti space ship rifle
its a bolt action
+SpecOps Gaming to be more specific, it is a charging handle, more like an open bolt style
yah see what I mean its a cocking or charging bolt mechanism
