A review of the MSM-07S Z'Gok from the original anime series Mobile Suit Gundam (0079). Piloted by the always fashionable Char Aznable.
- Production Notes to Help Me Keep Track of My Progression - Time!
Feel free to read over if you’re into video production and want to maybe learn from my mistakes.
- This video is technically a reupload of a previous review. However, I had to take it down and swap out the music, so I decided to make some updates. Below are the notes for the original version, followed by the notes for this updated version.
- This was another experimental review. Maybe the most since the Zeta 2.0. Lots of new stuff.
- First up, new camera. A Canon 6d Mark II. So, jumped to full frame for this one. Have a lot to learn, and not all of my lenses transferred over. My 24mm I used for the articulation section is an EF-S lens, meaning, it doesn’t fit on the camera. So, I used my 50mm for EVERYTHING.
- This led to a pretty cramped articulation section. I need to buy a new full frame 24mm lens, but it’s like $600, so think I’ll just keep my old camera and break it out for the articulation section.
- The focus points on the 6d Mark II are really clustered around the center. Getting something in focus around the edges of the screen is really hard. Gonna have to work on my “focus, pan, shoot” skills.
- The lighting was also really poor on this review. Too dark. Really need to crank up the lights or ISO on the next one. Kits with darker color schemes always screw me up.
- I didn’t use Adobe bridge for mass RAW exposure settings. I really didn’t take many pictures, and I think it shows in this review. Lots of repeat shots and footage. There just weren’t any gimmicks or variations in this kit. Ended up cutting a lot of audio in order to limit the repeating footage.
- Speaking of Adobe though, it was screwy this whole review. Premiere had a bunch of settings changed and I don’t know why. For example, when I pan over a still image, instead of a linear path, it will “auto-bezier” so it’d have a boomerang effect. I SUCKS~. Was it always like this? Don’t remember it being that way. Maybe it’s the larger full frame image. It might triggers an auto-bezier feature. Or maybe it’s just more noticeable since I’m panning over a larger image.
- Media Encoder also KEPT CRASHING. Not sure why. Is it because I’m still using 2018 Premiere (read Kampfer’s description) with a 2019 Encoder? Is it the larger size of the still images bogging it down? Is the bit rate of the new camera’s video too high? Is it a bug on Adobe’s part? Is it the new Windows 10 update 1809 or whatever? Who knows. Hopefully it will sort itself out on its own by next review time.
- Anyway, tried some new things with the footage, mainly having scores on different sides. Just thought I’d mix it up.
- Did some new things with editing too. Again, repeated a lot of footage, so needed to spice it up. Used inverse colors for text (Red headers, White highlighted text), and I did some new pans. Just make it look a little different.
- Audio was a big thing on this video. I’m TIRED of having bad audio. It’s the one thing I just can’t nail. I recorded in Audacity like usual, but then imported into Adobe Audition. It has better noise removal and EQ settings, I think... I just slapped on the “vocal enhancer” feature though. It made everything sound better, but I think it boosted the bass a little too much, so at the last second in Premiere, I cut the low end a few db.
- I just bought a pre-amp and have my eye on a real~~ nice microphone. So hopefully I’ll have this audio situation sorted soon.
Here are the notes for this updated version:
- New music
- Slightly re-EQ'd audio
- And that's it, considering this is the most recent review at the time of all these re-uploads. So not much to fix.
Anyway, thanks for reading all that lol. Hope it helps you learn as much as it helps me keep track of what I've learned. I’m a firm believer people need a creative outlet, and maybe video production can be yours too! 😉 Here’s the music I was enjoying while I was working on this toy review.

Remembering rrobbert still breaks my heart
What happened?
@@Jamil1989 it’s weird how I’m seeing this so soon but I wanna know too
That 2:13 image may be a Z'Gok but it reminded me of rrobbert
Rip rrobbert, used to watch his vids all the time
@@alexharvey8291 he's dead?
F

What happened to rrobbert?
I swear, you need at least 100k subs. These reviews are top tier, keep making them.
5:10 for those who are wondering this is what dalong said:
The main difference.. Z'gok for Char is designed differently in limbs and parts of the waist.
The polycap has been changed to be longer and deeper, which basically has the effect of extending the joints of the limbs longer.
Two tendons (?) are added as soft rubber inside the joint.(he meant the rubber pipe on this kit is not present on the mass produced one)
Compared with the mass-produced Z'gok joint, it can be seen that the joint is shorter and there is no tendon (the rubber piping).
The mass-production-type version of this kit does not have the rubber pipes in its limbs. Because of that, the limb segments do not have to be lined up correctly and you basicially get a 360 degree rotation at each segment and those segments all have slightly different angles. It is a noticeable, but not a massive improvement (bump 2.5 up to 3.0).
I'd love to see them make the Z'Gok-E based on this kit
Thank you for panel lining!
It's tempting to pick this up tbh, but I need to buy a whole new shelf devoted just to zeon 😂
Love the review. Thanks for covering this suit. I would love to see the Gouf Custom, Gouf 2,0 or Delta Plus Unicorn Version
the gouf custom sucks cause horrible articulation and its super loose out of the box
definitely one of my next kits. very useful video
Acguy next pls
Love old gunpla kits review👍
6:00 admittedly, this kit kind of comes with its own built in "battle damaged" variation due tot the tubing. Seeing its arm removed like that, the inner frame combined with the tubing gives the appearance of a suit that suffered the loss of a limb in battle. mostly because the tubing doesn't entirely line up with the remaining arm (Rather than the clean removals at the joints you see in normal kits).
Z'gok poses beautifully. His chadly aura does not need your approval
Do more old school aquatic mgs and you have enough reviews to start doing reviews of 1.0s of your 2.0s and compare it could be a new variation of your reviews and keep people interested in older model kit reviews (reviews)
Also from the video, the mass produced z'gok, it doesnt have the cables or the option for 4 claws but makes sense because I dont think that was I thing for their specs
Who wouldn't love the Zgok MG. I have every single Zgok kit out there cause I love the Ms so much lol
MG that make in early 2000 are cheaper , fun and easy compare with today MG expensive and stress.
Agreed. They're a lot of fun if you can get them cheap.
2:13 lol
Its the zah gock when it leaves my lips lol
I score this at a low 1.5 the segmented legs for the mobility is extremely flimsy. Couldn't even hold onto the model to apply the decals without it falling apart 🙄. Thank goodness the kit was in the discount bin 😮💨.
What's the song you use in all your video? very catchy looping in the background
Accguy next pls
They should update this figure's articulation already.
They did in the form of rg lol alot of zeon mg need a 2.0 like the dom, arguy, goog etc
@@TheSilentsama I saw that one. Looks so much better.👍
Redhead phones I found a mg z'gok on Target's website for $37 but I also found a mg zaku 2.0 for the same price. Which one should I get? I like the designs of both and my criteria is that it has to be solid and at least 7 inches (about the size of a voyager transformers which is my preferred size) and easy enough for a beginner. Thanks my fellow head phone user. I think that this version has better articulation than the mass production type. Oh and all your reviews are just 👌👌👌👌
Hmm, that's a tough one. I'd say the Zaku ver 2.0 is the better kit. It has a way more intricate inner frame, amazing part separation and it just looks perfect. I do have a soft spot for older MG's like this Z'gok though. They aren't objectively as good as a version 2.0, but each one is so unique, ya know? This Z'gok specifically looks fantastic, but the build has more than a few bad nubs and the articulation is pretty lacking. Personally, if you don't have a 1/100 Zaku yet, then that'd be my pick! Best of luck!
@@redheadphones6 then gonna go with the mg zaku cannon
Hi, i found both this kit and the gm 2.0 for 35 eur at the online gunpla store i usually order from, and wanted to ask whether or not this build is long enough to feel satisfying for the price? I greatly prefer the design of the z gok, but the gm seems to be a more complex build, and as i mostly build gunpla to unwind, that really affects my experience.
Dunno if I should just get the real grade or this. Well, at least if it actually came down to having to choose. The MG is just never in stock anywhere.
regula Z'Gok have 99% like Char's Z'Gok. but he have no tube in side forearm and leg, and only have one option is 3
claws, ( 4 claws and red is commander type. so if you buy char's Z'Gork mean you can build Z'gok Commander type with 4 Claws or char's ver with 3 Claws )
please review MG Gogg too..I got one..
2:13 Too soon... :'(
why do things keep evolving into Z'goks
Return to Z'gok
The one thing I hate about Zeon model kits is the fact that the monoeye never comes in the correct color, and the sticker never sticks to the rounded eye piece
Those white circle decals that go around the chest vents are basically impossible to apply
I’m-a mastergrade z gok
What do you use for the mono-eye to make it so bright?
Standard pink Gundam marker. I just do a ton of coats lol
When you turn the head, does the mono-eye move?
What did you use to gloss coat this kit?
Hey can you do the Master Grade gestae from gundam unicorn😄
Oh, jesta
Could anyone please explain me how to paint a clear piece with the gundam marker. I tried bit it doesnt looks as good as his
You could ask me, I'm here lol. I tend to do small coats usually like 3-4 layers. I put a layer down, then wait 4-5 minutes for it to semi-dry, then do another coat. It usually mixes with the previous coat and allows me to apply more paint on the surface than if I were to do it all in one go.
@@redheadphones6 Do you use a brush and which Gundam Marker do you recomend for the mono-eyes? Sorry for the questions i'm new to painting
I cant get the legs connected at the knee. Ugh
It's "Ze-gok"
it's "zu-gok" because that's how it's called in japanese ズゴック.
anything else is incorrect
Z'Gock doesn't need weapons Z'Gock IS the weapon. cant put into words how much i would have loved a GM chest made to fit the arm tho.
This or the rg?
If you like a realistic look, go for the RG. Want Anime accuracy, get the MG.
Color wise I think RG ia better than MG..
More of a “zigok” in my opinion!
RG is better than this
Couldn't agree more
The rg is better built and easier to build
The rg cant even hold itself up half the time
At least the mg can
