@@HobbyClubhouse From what I can see it doesn't require tons of panel lining, all it does need is some water decals (which thankfully I have because they are not easy to get) and bam a solid kit looking so good with my Zeon kits.

The localish hobby shop got stock of HG Zeong kits and I do like the simpler aesthetic...I think you've sold me on making the trip tomorrow and getting the kit
Wow, just under 2000¥ is a hell of a lot cheaper than the RG, understandable with the smaller parts count though. I honestly really enjoyed the early HG Z'Gok I built, so I think I'd honestly really like this one too! Thanks for reviewing both the HG/RG so we can compare!
I think all the early HG 0079 kits have simple, uncluttered surfaces with no more panel lines than they need which is a distinct look that's good for that classic look. I have the HG Z'Gok too and always loved the single-piece roof(?) of the head. I figured there's bound to be people who are curious how this old boy stacks up so I hunted him down:) I think he was just re-released so you'll probably be able to find one too easily now in stores online:)
@@HobbyClubhouse I have a huge collection of cool mobile suits some that people don’t like like the original RE/100 1/100 VIGNA-GHINA Ⅱ and a set of lottos and my favorite kits in my collection are the og zaku sniper 1 my zaku 1 ace custom and my char zgok
You should get a second zeong kit and do a upgrade video to improve some of the dated joints and maybe paint it or thicken it up a bit in places like the inside of the shoulders then paint
More improvement videos for kits ought to be good actually, I bet a lot of people are just like you and really want to see old kits go past their limits
@@HobbyClubhouse heck if I had the money to do it I would focus my channel more on model building but even with my reaper miniture and hero forge sponsorships coming up I couldn’t since they pay with free products and gift cards for their own stuff
Kinda hopes it gets a revive. Prefer the simpler look over the RG kit. I'm a big fan of the older mech designs that focus more on silhouette and character over detail detail detail. Like srsly.. new designs feel so cluttered and busy. The revive Gyan and Gouf for instance are a blessing. Some old kits like the Acguy still hold up great but this one could defiantly use an update and there's no reason to ignore a MS like the Zeong!
You know, this is the odd kit I always wanted but DIDN'T have among my own back log. Got this one especially to go with the RG review. This and the Zock always got me excited because I love chunky boxes like they have.
Bandai recently re-released it in the Asian regions, so usually they ship it to other regions too maybe in a month or some weeks later. Keep an eye out on your favorite stores:)
the east they could have done was give you a clear display stand for him, because anyone none the wiser would assume that's his legs lmao, why make it the same colour as the gundam????? its meant to give illusion of flight.........so stupid now i have to go out and by a separate clear stand....
It would look great with the rest of my HG zeon kits, the RG is fine don’t get me wrong but it look too....detailed against my HG zeon kits
I actually quite like the older HGUC kits with their uncluttered surfaces. They don't drown out other kits as much as RG kits do

I use to not like this design as I am not a hardcore UC fan buuut I actually love this. It might be old but it simple and mostly colour correct.
@zetacorn3749 it's great to have different styles like this vs the RG rather than simply better/worse looks
I love how it looks so simple and almost accurate to the show, a revive version of this kit will be such a good idea!
it looks good as is i’d rather have a revive gm or guntank
Hey there, fellow Hongkonger and reviewer here. Your review is very informative and really good to watch. Appreciated
Hey there! I've known about your channel too, thanks so much for dropping by:) Let's see if there's ever anything we can help each other out with

Hello. I'll visit Hong Kong soon. Where can I buy gunpla there?

An oldy but goldy if I ever saw one.
Gotta love those simple lines and classic proportions
I love the design of the Zeong, but damn do things like the static eye and the general proportions of it all make me want a revive
Got this one for 10 dollars! Can’t wait to build it

great review, would love to get it for kitbashs
Thanks for your support as always! The kit's pretty cheap too and quite easy to get hold of
Bandai should do a revive on this
I like the look of the HG version alot more. 😊
I just want whatever is cheaper I'm on budget while wanting these

anyone know where to buy beamsabers kits?
eBay
Bought one impulsively because it only cost ₱835.00 ($16.29)...old stocks from our local mall
Just bought one off Amazon. Couldn't resist.
I would love to try and hand-paint this kit!
One Year War MSes look quite charming when handpainted because a lot of old kits were that way, so there's a vintage beauty
very unfortunate that this kit has been in my backlog since the rg was announced.

best kit!!! zeong!
It's so strange and wonderful!
I’m trying to find this kit for a reasonable price, anyone wants to contact me please do
