Legs are actually very important for agility though, specially through AMBAC maneuvering, a system that uses inertia and centrifugal forces of limbs moving around to help MS change its direction in Zero G. Which is the reason why machines with wing binders like the Hyaku Shiki and Zeta are much more agile compared to ones that doesn’t
@@dgas5904 yo you might want to chill down. I just want to have some conversation by sharing what I know, and you’re just gonna disregard it because you assume it came from the wiki? This “joke” is something that appears everytime the Zeong gets into the picture, and it’s so frequent that people don’t even talk about how the Perfect Zeong had reasons to exist aside from aesthetics purposes anymore. I can’t even comprehend if people saying those jokes actually take it seriously anymore. If you dislike my take, you can just say it without being mean? At which point exactly do I really act like I’m above OP because I spoke out info he didn’t?
I always felt the Zeong was an underappreciated mobile suit. The 70s aesthetic isn't for everyone, but it does have a menacing presence about it and in canon was a monster. Glad to hear the RG treatment is good!
For me it’s the YMS-06Z Psycommu Early Test Type Zaku. Looks a lot like an Efreet due to the head design but has detachable remote control mega particle canons. Sadly there’s no model for it from what I’ve seen but there is art for it. Pretty cool looking
I used to think the Zeong was pretty dumb looking but once I grabbed this kit, my sentiments changed. I really love how it's not just another Zaku or Gundam swap with some sort of gimmick. It does things that other mobile suits don't. Legs aside, it's aesthetically different. Very different and I've come to appreciate the very old school 1950s/60s sci-fi robot look.
The design of the head and torso really suggest that the Zeong is designed with 'up' as a primary axis of movement driven the by the leg replacement thrusters, as opposed to usually standing on legs. So while the overall project would no doubt supposed to be making a legged version too, it kind of seems like we're looking a dedicated space superiority Zeong variant that is supposed to use giant vectored thrusters to outmaneuver other suits in microgravity, as opposed to a hasty retrofit since the legs weren't ready. A greyish primary color with red, blue, and yellow sections also makes seem like the Zeon Gundam.
I bought this thing on a whim and DAMN it slaps. It’s becoming my favorite build and kit so far because of how unique and outlandish it is compared to yet another Gundam.
I'm hard pressed not to call this kit-of-the-year already - I'm in luv, and really affirms RG's status of late. Agree with you Zach that any RG coming out is now at a fantastic engineering standard. For me, the Force Impulse was a meh Gundam for my personal tastes, but man the RG did a 180 on my opinion. Simply stellar kit OOTB and now a big fan of the Impulse design. Can't help but dream of RG Kampfer, GP02a, Gelgoog's, Gouf's (a Flight Type RG would amazeballs), Gerbera Tetra, Zaku III, GMs, The O, Marasai, Xeku Eins, heck even Barbatos.... and of course, the Dom ;) ps - it's time for RG Zaku II 2.0 tbh, and I'd also say to Bandai, please redo Thunderbolt in RG, it'd be an ideal small scale format for those designs too
this is by far one of the best looking gundam models, and how chunky and layered he is just adds to that quality what a great gundam i only own him and sazabi but i do love the chunky ones, its definitely much better having the accessories
i used to built these kits 20years ago. now i just bought new one a sd cleopatra and it took me 1hour 40mins. i felt connected so i bought this RG Zeong and start wondering how long it gonna take me to finish it.
It finally happened, Bandai made an RG that I feel like I want to buy. The other ones either had decent 1/100 scale versions or I just didn't care at all for the MS itself, but this one... This thing looks so much better than the MG in every aspect that if I had to choose I'd go with it, even if the scale is smaller than I like.
for me it isnt about the lack of legs. its the rounded (front butt) skirt. had it has more angular skirt i'd prolly like it more. heck i liked it above the waist
The design looks a little wonky, but this RG is so unique it makes me want it more. However, I would probably cut down the horns to streamline it a bit.
I don't know if it's a good Kit.. I just ordered it and still waiting for it. My first RG too. The Design of Zeong is very odd.. But I really love the this RG version of Zeong. My choice's are RG Sazabi, RG Nu and Hi Nu.. Also RG God Gundam... But Zeong really shine for me..
I kinda like the design - except the mouth area. If I ever got the kit I would have to fill it in and paint it to make the face plate just a solid piece.
It's a great kit for sure, but I'm going for the Sazabi instead. I do agree though, that recent RGs, this included, are really something else. Are you getting the new RG Eva?
These are available in Canada at $100 CND each; I can get 4 HG kits for that much. It's the stickers, though; why can't RG kits have good waterslides? Probably not buying this.
Never liked the Zeong, always thought it looked dorky af. But this RG design really made it look good. RG has really surpassed the MG line in terms of details. Other than size, there's no reason to buy a MG anymore
@@ZakuAurelius ohhhh sorry for the misunderstanding. My thought was since they sponsor they also help send kits over for review, my apologies and still looks like a beautiful kit and can't wait for mine!
I'm really not a fan of how the RG line clutters these great classic designs with tons of extraneous greebles and markings. This doesn't look as bad as some - like the MK II, but the skirt is a mess in my opinion. I would love to have some nice 1/144 scale kits of old school designs that have the articulation and color separation of RGs, but without the forced conformity to modern design trends that they weren't initially designed with in mind. I would almost be willing to grab a kit like this and modify it so to restore it to something closer to the original.
All in all, I'm sure this is a great kit, with all kinds of gimmicks and details. But what really threw me off is that no-legs crippled look. And under the skirt, you can indeed see two "stumps" with red thrusters in them, as if this guy used to have legs.

"I don't really like the Zeong all that much."
Ah. Yet another soul weighed down by gravity, who believes legs are good for anything but aesthetics.

@@damiannguyen9195 Nah fam, the legs are just for show :)
Ah. A fool that do not understand the true possibility of legs, perhaps you do not remember the iconic Kicking Attack from Char's Zaku
Char lost the Zeong because he couldn't kick the Gundam
"it has no legs."

“Legn’t”
-Fast man.

Zeong is the coolest design they ever made... imho
For me is Kampfer, and Sazabi
@@Rinrin-ms3lp kampfer is cool.
Perfect Zeong is just that much better
For me it’s the YMS-06Z Psycommu Early Test Type Zaku. Looks a lot like an Efreet due to the head design but has detachable remote control mega particle canons. Sadly there’s no model for it from what I’ve seen but there is art for it. Pretty cool looking
For me it’s the Zaku 1
We need RG Gouf already
Yes!
Bricked skirt and waist. Unless Bandai copying HG Gundam G40th Industrial
Bandai had teased an RG Gouf along with an RG ground Gundam some years ago, but they never released them.
@@FactorySettings_ how’d they tease them? Pics?
@@bulldog1010123 Yes they showed off some concept images. They had also teased the RG Zgok around the same time which they did release.

Legs and the sword will be P-Bandai.
For sure.
Oh you know it
I'm waiting for Thunderbolt's version of the Perfect Zeong.
The design of the head and torso really suggest that the Zeong is designed with 'up' as a primary axis of movement driven the by the leg replacement thrusters, as opposed to usually standing on legs.

Zeon Gundam…ZeonG….Zeong.
I get the feeling I’m in the minority when I say that I’ve always loved the Zeong, never thought it didn’t look cool
Ikr i always thought it looked sick
"legs on a space use Mobile Suit is just decoration"
I bought this thing on a whim and DAMN it slaps. It’s becoming my favorite build and kit so far because of how unique and outlandish it is compared to yet another Gundam.
Not gonna lie; I like the Zeong's design. In fact, it's the first gundam kit I've bought in a year or two.
I’m getting this next month. Building and posing this will be fun and I hope this has an expansion pack to make it into the perfect zeong.
I love the weird 70s designs from MS Gundam. Definitely going to pick this up.
Just got the clear color version of this kit for my birthday. Excited to build this!

zeong face always creep me out and i love it,its a great ms in B.O
this is by far one of the best looking gundam models, and how chunky and layered he is just adds to that quality what a great gundam i only own him and sazabi but i do love the chunky ones, its definitely much better having the accessories
Now we need a HG 1/144 Big Zam
I felt like Zaku, I wasn't a fan of the Zeong but the more I saw this kit, I loved it.
Before I built it I didn’t believe you saying it is similar to sazabi I was like no way. Now that I built it I understand exactly what you said 😅
Yep! 👍
Zach: I dont like it that much, why does it have antlers?
Also Zach: I love the Banshee
THATS NOT ANTLERS
@@ZakuAurelius haha. It's not a mane either.
@@Mike_Jones1980 Banshee does have a mane on its back though, and Gundams have always had v-fin, stylised to many shapes
I ordered mine from USA Gundam store, the last shooting effect, and I can't wait for it to come!
What i like from this kit is its inner frame are scary af, like i saw someone customizing this kit only with the inner frame
is it the first rg that doesn't have a pilot minifigure?
Bandai: "Want a Char pilot figure? Go and buy the RG Zaku or Z'Gok!"
Your review convinced me to choose this one. lol. i can't wait to paint its inner frame in metal.
It’s a beautiful kit to paint!
if they make a p-bandai kit that offers legs then I demand that they make an RG perfect gundam.

You dont like cross bone ?
@@Claytronpbr427 I think the MG Crossbone is good enough, even if the RG is a better kit.
I just ordered it. Cant wait to build it.
I got the last shooting version can’t wait for it
I want that version pretty bad.
I can't un-see the french fries, at least the zeong will never go hungry..
RG has become my favorite line
for me it isnt about the lack of legs. its the rounded (front butt) skirt. had it has more angular skirt i'd prolly like it more. heck i liked it above the waist
I like how it looks like a snail with antlers
This is probably the scariest one for me cause it kinda gave the same vibes of actual medieval/ww1/ww2 scary stuffs
I prefer the Perfect Zeong, I think it looks so much more menacing with legs
2:47 - I've decided. Everybody needs to start calling me "Laser Fingers" now. We'll figure out why later.
I'm still waiting for the P-Bandai legs expansion set for RG Zeong.
The design looks a little wonky, but this RG is so unique it makes me want it more. However, I would probably cut down the horns to streamline it a bit.
Great kit. From a design sta d point though i never understood why they would put a metal bar in front of the mono eye. Isn't it the main camera?
You should have gotten the final shot version it is a really good model especially with the parts and additional other effects
i didnt think i would like it,but it looks cool
i have an idea, can you fit a RG Sazabi Legs onto the Zeong? If it can then it'll be sick!
Now i want perfect zeong but it will release as prebandai.
out of topic : rg set perfect gundam and perfect zeong would be nice !
I don't know if it's a good Kit.. I just ordered it and still waiting for it.
My first RG too. The Design of Zeong is very odd.. But I really love the this RG version of Zeong. My choice's are RG Sazabi, RG Nu and Hi Nu.. Also RG God Gundam... But Zeong really shine for me..

I'll take 5th. Thanks for the video.
Kinda wanna see what an RG Ibo kit would look like- but then again i don’t know if it’d make sense
god damm can't wait for mine to be delivered
It's a great kit for sure, but I'm going for the Sazabi instead. I do agree though, that recent RGs, this included, are really something else. Are you getting the new RG Eva?
Looks like panel lining hell, but I want one
This is so great. Incredible kit.
Can you plug the MG Zaku 2's legs in where the thrusters go?
Zeong is definitely a very Japanese take on Darth Vader
I didn't like the zeong either, but this kit is changing my mind.
How would you recommend painting the fingers, especially the joint?
Painting by hand probably
it's here !
I used gunpla marker on mine. Very hostile to the stickers, but its shiny!
These are available in Canada at $100 CND each; I can get 4 HG kits for that much. It's the stickers, though; why can't RG kits have good waterslides? Probably not buying this.
Reminds me of the thunderbolt zeong from later in the manga
So gundamstore has them in? Good I know what I'm buying next payday
I don’t believe they’ve arrived there yet.
Being early isn't always a good thing in more ways than one.
really hope they make the rg khastria
Never liked the Zeong, always thought it looked dorky af. But this RG design really made it look good. RG has really surpassed the MG line in terms of details. Other than size, there's no reason to buy a MG anymore
I wish i had that todesritter
can anyone tell me if rg gundam wing is a difficult build? my brother wants to get into it and i purchased one for him
there will be zeon with legs
Im still debating if I want to get this lol
I still waiting for mine T^T
P Bandai RG Perfect Zeong when?
Soon I think.
Bandai loves money.
What a big lad
I must ask, does this mean USAG has these in stock?
No it doesn’t, I don’t get my kits directly from them. I’m on South Korea
@@ZakuAurelius ohhhh sorry for the misunderstanding. My thought was since they sponsor they also help send kits over for review, my apologies and still looks like a beautiful kit and can't wait for mine!
is zeong 1/144 is the same size in Nu Gundam and sazabi?
No pilot figure?
Apparently not!
yea not a fan of the zeong
i like char in the zaku and the gelgoog
i still want to build this
EA: Here's our new mobile suit!
Customer: But where are the legs.
