Doing my pilgrimage to the start of something always bulky. And I just realized, looking at my past comments, that this is the first Kakarot197 review I watched 😀
***** Ah, I've been curious about that set for a long time. Is the hammer good? And are the saber pegs compatible with anything or kinda specific to frame arms/MSG line kinda stuff?
+Arrowdodger Never really tried to fit them in anything, but I'm pretty sure that the blades are proprietary. The hammer is pretty much "what you see is what you get", a ball on a chain =P Never been a big fan of that because you can't really pose it(unless you give the ball its own action base lol)
Personally the 45 degree bend in the legs is quite forgivable seeing as this suit was mainly planned for space operations, in fact like the Zeong it could probably have gone just fine without the legs entirely, but this is just my thought.
Hehe, makes you sound like that one Zeon guy that explains to Char that the Zeong is actually 100% complete and that the legs are just for show. I think the canonical reason for them having legs is for better AMBAC and it probably allows for more complex manoeuvres.
The HG00 Tieren Taozi Sergei Custom has a beam bayonette. Well, it's a dark gray toothpick that goes in front of the beam rifle, but a typical transparent beam fits okay in it.
I just ordered the Mashmer custom of this thing. I hope it's as good as this one. It was only like $12 on HLJ, so I'm stoked. I really have to watch ZZ!
It should be since it's the same base model. 1 warning about ZZ: it starts off crappy but then gets (much much) better halfway through. Also beware of MoonMoon(this will make sense when you watch ZZ, trust me)
***** the fact the Gaza C's get owned by Judau in a First Gen worker mobile suit is kinda hilarious when you think about it, more so by the fact that the Gaza C is a basically the MS equivalent to putting a Machine gun on a forklift or a recoilless rifle on a front end loader.
The GP01 sort of has a bayonette with the beam jitte, but that is more for blocking beam sabers until he gets his out. He doesn't use it offensively typically.
Awesome review. Didn't even know it had that torso articulation. Btw, other mobile suits with bayonette looking things: Gp01(beam jutte), astray green frame(kind of?) and maybe the blitz??? Really..more suits should have bayonettes.
Since 90% of these older HGUC's came with the "almighty toothpick"(uncolored beam saber) couldn't you just paint the saber either its canon color or preferred color? Thats one of my main draws to these older Bandai HG's and MG's. If theres something i don't like about a particular kit,i can just paint it,or kit bash it. Cant necessarily do that with newer kits(to my knowledge, i could be wrong).
I changed the pollycap cap I cant remember what size I switched it to. I would have to get my zaku 3 out and check the bayonet makes a grate 1-144 rx-78-2 katana and thanks for the complement
after announcement of new Zaku III from Twilight Axis novel, i'm excited what Bandai gonna do with this kit, since it's a very very old kit rerelease (nothing new, except new big backskirt)
Exia and the Ahead also have toothpicks. Also the Ahead Smultron, but that one has a transparent toothpick so it's a bit better. But Exia is the worst one, four freaking beam handles and no beams at all.
to be fair, he ran up cloaked. Odds are, he didn't have a lot of power left to work with, and the lances don't go off of his battery like the beam saber would have.
Just went here to throwback on the first appearance of the always bulky Zaku 3.
Doing my pilgrimage to the start of something always bulky. And I just realized, looking at my past comments, that this is the first Kakarot197 review I watched 😀
I wish the always bulky got a revive, such a good design.
The biggest innovation is....... that there are no hoses on the legs!!
Mega Cat actually there are they are covered up by the armor
He has pants over his hose's. 🤣🙃
Where the scale comparison legend was born! Also, where did you get the beam saber for that heavygun?
+Arrowdodger www.hlj.com/product/KBYMW-25R/Sci It's from a pretty sweet set =D

yeah, I prefer wire ones, like the Astraea F2's or Raider Gundam's Mjolnir.

@@kakarot197 but there are no legs sir I assure you it’s completely finished but it has no legs!
@@turtlegaming4427 Char: then how come when it has legs it's called the PEFECT Zeong
I just finished picking up the always bulky Zaku III yesterday.
Ah yes.. The always B U L K Y Zaku III.
The HG00 Tieren Taozi Sergei Custom has a beam bayonette. Well, it's a dark gray toothpick that goes in front of the beam rifle, but a typical transparent beam fits okay in it.
they literally turned skirt flipping into a heavy weapon. Stay classy Japan.
Hope they do a revive of this kit.
+Tokyo1995 I Say YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HaroGenki TNSG247 this was one of the oldest hg's to date also its a zaku design regardless its still going to be somewhat popular
I'm doing all I can to improve it's popularity.
Kakarot197 have you ever seen the neo zaku aka zaku 4?
Stay bulky, zaku iii
I come here expecting the “Bluky Zaku III” joke by Kakarot.
I just ordered the Mashmer custom of this thing. I hope it's as good as this one. It was only like $12 on HLJ, so I'm stoked. I really have to watch ZZ!

I really wish Bandai would release Zaku 3 sleeve from mobile suit Gundam Unicorn >
Don't mind me. Just wanted to check "The always bulky" kit.
I just ordered this kit, because I already own a Zaku I (black tri-stars) and my first gunpla Char's Zaku 2.
Actually it's not the custom. The green one is.
I'm sold since I can have a left handed Zaku III, you know how hard it is to find gunpla that could be left handed?
The GP01 sort of has a bayonette with the beam jitte, but that is more for blocking beam sabers until he gets his out. He doesn't use it offensively typically.
Awesome review. Didn't even know it had that torso articulation. Btw, other mobile suits with bayonette looking things: Gp01(beam jutte), astray green frame(kind of?) and maybe the blitz??? Really..more suits should have bayonettes.
R-Jarja, UnicornGundam Banshee Norn....
I will soon get my own HG Zaku III among one other HG and one MG.
It's even bigger than I thought it'd be! That comparison with Unicorn made the Gundam look like a wimp!
I have found my favorite version of the Zaku!
It is pretty cool and looks like it has presence on a shelf. I might get it one of these days.
Gaplant or Pallas Athene, nobody has done these to my knowledge (except for the AOZ custom Gaplant, but that's a different MS)
The legs on mine are ridiculously floppy, but I don't regret getting this kit. Makes me wanna get Mashymre's.
The Zeta and the ReZels have beam bayonettes.

Zaku III also appear in the Gundam Unicorn episode 7! Now I want to get this kit :D
Get it! =D
He lifts up his kilt to attack.
I changed the pollycap cap I cant remember what size I switched it to. I would have to get my zaku 3 out and check
the bayonet makes a grate 1-144 rx-78-2 katana
and thanks for the complement
How well has this always bulky kit aged in your collection? Any issues over years of use?
Can zaku lll fly
Hello from Future!
This a very rare review,awesome..
Just returning to say "The always bulky, Zaku III"
after announcement of new Zaku III from Twilight Axis novel, i'm excited what Bandai gonna do with this kit, since it's a very very old kit rerelease (nothing new, except new big backskirt)
joshuaivan23 actually the head, shoulder armor are new
Beam swords wobble but they don't fall out
so i think u should review the other zaku iii perhaps..the green zaku iii..n u said u want to review the stark jegan..=(
Exia and the Ahead also have toothpicks. Also the Ahead Smultron, but that one has a transparent toothpick so it's a bit better. But Exia is the worst one, four freaking beam handles and no beams at all.
Would like to see Zaku 3 fight GM 3
Damn the Zaku III is badass!
For some reason, Zaku 3 is never as popular as Zaku 2.
I prefer the Mashymre Custom but you can't go wrong with either.
I have a zaku 3 custom but mine is the green color scheme. Who's unit would that make it?
Mashymere Cello.
to be fair, he ran up cloaked. Odds are, he didn't have a lot of power left to work with, and the lances don't go off of his battery like the beam saber would have.
I just swaped the shoulder to the opposite sides
Zaku II, ftw!
have you reviewed the Zaku III Kai?
+Raffaele Passarelli Nope, haven't built it yet, but I do have it hanging around.
Really feel like making a Sleeves custom after watching Unicorn ep.7
go for it!
Or wait for the inevitable Online Exclusive release :3
***** online exclusive GM's are the bane of your wallet aren't they?
HyperionGM 2 very relevant words
*GM Cannon*
;~;
is it still bulky?
why iscthe beam canons their at the crotch
hell yea Zaku III rules
haha you should've add hi-zack in the zaku comparision
i replaced the bayonet with a beam saber that can fit a 1-100 beam
R jarja had s bayonet on its beam rifle
this or gouf r35?
even better when the opponent has Phase Shift. Yup.
MG zaku III anyone
Why did the zaku iii custom from Twilight Axis have to be a stupid p-bandai otherwise i would have so bought it
A Scotsman, actually, named angus, but yeah, I had that in mind. heh
imma get this with a bazooka and abeam halbert
I am asking
i mean zaku iii custom
That's not looks zaku III to me
This zaku is big and ugly, but it has something special.
perreterecon you mean the fact it can fire a lazar from its mouth?
