I love the fact that the entire thing looks like it was put together in some guys garage using broken parts he found somewhere. And for a third party, this looks surprisingly unique. I assumed it would just be a reskinned MG Guntank but thats clearly not the case.
Its why I like the IBO line so much, the mobile suits actually look like dirty war machines. Theirs also plenty of suits like that in other series but they never seem to even get HG releases. I'm still shocked we got the MG Zaku Cannon. (Which, recently restocked and I'm heavily considering getting)
+MrFlunkorg One of the reasons the Astaroth is my most favorite in the IBO line, it has parts that were literally taken from mass produced suits, really appeals to me, I just wished grunt suits got more love in the form of kits rather than just the same Zaku recolor every year
sweeeeet I loved the Zaku tank design I have that super vintage MSV kit from wayy back when. gonna have to get one of these. its a shame it doesn't have the build for the command crane arm thing
From what I've gathered from watching your unboxing of this kit, the torso half is closer to a 1.0 frame. I've built 11 Zaku 2.0s and 2 Zaku 1.0s and the difference in their frames is significant. The tank tread mechanism is impressive, not as detailed as MG Guntank's, but impressive nonetheless. I hope Bandai sees this kit and releases their own Zaku Tank
xxnike629xx Bandai seems indifferent to even making MGs of Build Burning, G-Self, etc, they are never going to make stuff like this mobile suit, anyway. If they went out of business, people just wouldn't have the option of owning it, period.

Your description of the Zaku Tank is not far off, as it was prettymuch a zaku that was repaired with whatever the mechanic could use.
Helps that the Graze is just a really good kit.

Motor King did the 1:35 Red Frame bust, didnt they?
Fun fact bandai was going to release a MG Zaku tank but they ended up canceling it
Jetfire48 wait this is a non bandai product? no wonder why it says china
how much was this cost..? it looks soo damn good
This looks cool. As for the lights, worse case, ask someone you know who's good with that sort of thing to do it for you.
So its way better than their previous xamel?
Why superglue? Just use liquid cement. It melts the plastic and bonds the two pieces together
thanks for review this..
nice review
Do you have plans on reviewing the daban PG Phenex?
Does this include a space for the battery and does it have inner holes for the wiring?
this is pretty sweet.

A good effort, but I hope they can keep at it and get closer to Dragon Momoko's level.

This thing looks hilarious
Is it just me or does the mono eye look a bit squished?
the whole trench were the eye moves looks like squished
Can you swap the zaku off for another MS?
richard1701able I was wondering if you could take the torso part and attach legs. Make a full armor Zaku ll.
good question
I will make mine desert camouflage
this was a thing?
it needs decal work.
Personally, I like it, but the plastic is brittle, should be improved.
Why the voice modulator?
