Lucky. I just found out about this kid today, because Bandai is releasing a yellow variant it in Jun-Jul. it’s sold out every where and people on EBay is selling their pre-order for $80-120. Even this version cost just as much as the yellow variant on the second market.
@@mrdude88 There's some cases where the premium variants are easier to come across than the standard retail version. Gundam Airmaster was another kit that had this problem. The yellow ZZ Zssa sold out on Pbandai US within 4 minutes of being up. The sleeves version will be reprinted eventually, Bandai reprints kits monthly, however they have nearly 300 high grades and 200 master grades to choose from so it always seems random. December 2021 reprint was a bunch of old rare stuff we haven't seen printed in years like the Messala, Palace Athene, Bawoo, Both Zaku III variants. The hobby was hit hard during covid and everyone was stuck home building gunpla. eventually it will normalize and we wont have to deal with $120 for standard rare high grades.
I wish there was an option of having the missiles white and the monoeye green so we can have the unit that aided the Gallus S on boarding the Nahel Argama. Probably with some paint it'll look better than the red.
This is a platform that should avoid melee at all costs. Keep distance to either pepper the enemy with occasional shots, or fire a full salvo before retreating to reload at the mothership. If you're using beam sabers... you've already signed your life away. And don't go getting into dogfights with the gun. If you get hit in one of those pods... Well I hope that you wanted to go out with a bang. TLDR Harass or blitz and run.
Your videos have improved sooo much! I was watching an old review and you almost sound nervous You really seem to get into your work nowadays your enthusiastic voice has a lot of charm
Love this kit. Loved painting it, love modding it, but comparing it to Iron Blood -Ptui! This MS was around way before iron blood and it's more to one of those Macross missile barrage mechs.
Damn, I want this figure. Too bad on eBay it cost like $80-120. And the yellow variant (the one I really want) cost just as much and it’s not even released yet.
This MS has so many missiles it's a hazard to itself. It's basically like strapping yourself to a bomb. One minor hit from the enemy and then BOOM! LOL.
In my school vr game that thing is a surport unit when doing the unicorn gundam destroyer mode boss fight in the campaign and during the fight there's a rare spawn of the heavyarms
Gundam Suits from 00 usually have the shield hardpoints at the front of the arm. Top of my head I can remember Exia, Astrea, and even Nadleeh. Many of the other GN-powered suits in 00 also have these hardpoints that act as general weapon hardpoints.
62 missiles.... A Vietnam era AH1-G with a full dumb fire rocket pod load carried about 72-76 FFAR HEAT rockets, given that spamming rockets meant to Kill/Severely Disable their respective Targets (Tanks/MS) are a basic attack method of Helicopter strikes from before ATGM era, this Zeon MS is basically an Attack Helicopter in MS shape
It was also meh piloting the yellow version of this thing in Gundam Battle Universe. Non-stop missile barrage, and you hope some of them hits that fast moving MS you're fighting before it sneaks up on you and delivers a melee beatdown on your not-so-maneuverable ass. I felt safer in a GM Sniper II or a Gelgoog.
is the shield not able to be mounted closer to the wrist? the way the arm is molded kinda suggests that it is possible, unless that puts a lot of stress on the brace.
Dude, there are 66 missiles on that thing! Also, I had to add up the missiles on the back, arms, and chest and they equal 34 missiles! The 32 in the legs were not really needed!
I think the side flaps on the thrust pack are supposed to be airbrakes like with actual fighters, albiet, kinda useless if this thing was in a zero-g enviroment
a lot of sort comings but i think its still neat and if you're willing to do some custom work it would be a great looking kit, with a unique silhouette
compare the Zssa to Macross's armored valkyries... especially the macross frontier version since early versions are stuck in battroid mode. in Gerwalk mode, armored valkyries look like the Zssa hunched over... then missile spam begins.
Given the military uses green because they usually are on ground and thus hide with grass colors, a space faring mecha might need other colors for camouflage. Same with fighter jets, US fighters then to have that cloud grey color. Now, what color would make sense for space?
White for dispersing and deflecting heat quickly. Its why spacecraft are white. Doesnt really matter what color is given to a spacecraft since youll be fighting your enemy in space beyond visual range.
What do you think of the theory that mobile suite technology at least in terms of pure performance stalled for the entirety of UC after CCA? Dose it sound reasonable, or am I just stupid?
There is no way the tech is stalled. Just a few years after CCA, we have *psychoframe* technology in Unicorn that can turn your MS into god-mode. We have *Minovsky flight* tech in Hathaway's Flash. We have *beam-shield* and *miniaturized MSs* in F91. And then we have *beam-rotor* and *Wings of Light* tech in Victory.
Well you won't like it if you don't paint your kits. Look at all those curved surfaces! Look at all those part separations! You either have ideas on a metallic finish or preshading already!
Neo Zeon MS engineer: So how many missiles should we equip on the Zssa?
Zeon Commander: Yes.
actuall answer to that question is "all of them" lol
68 missiles baybee
its a ms portable macross missile massacre
"How many do we have?"
Gundam heavyarms, am I a joke to you?
If there is one thing you gotta praise Unicorn, is that it brought back some older kits that would be painful to get otherwise.
Walking ammunition explosion.
"Because if your going to die from ammunition explosions you might as well be seen from orbit" - Tex from 'Tex talks Battletech - The Thor'
And paint it yellow.
Lmao, exactly, if that thing was in warthunder, it would probably ammo cook off everytime it gets shot

LIIIIIEEEEESSSS!!!!!
i guess this thing surpasses the Heavyarms Igel in terms of missile load out.
Yeah lacks the dakka Heavyarms is known for and even the lesser extent NT Alex's gatling gun arms.
This thing was an absolute beast in one of the SD gundam g generation games due to each missile count as an individual attack.
So like 68 friggin attacks?

Geez, it's 12:50am right now and I'm about to sleep....I guess I can wait....
Nothin' says overkill like a crap ton of missiles

This thing is basically a less scary ideon

Love the Zssa super underrated in my opinion. Thanks for the content.
I wonder when will Kakarot197 review the HG Murasame
I wanna be the optimist and say that the missing paint isn't something you'll actively miss, but appreciate it when its there.
This MS has so many missiles it's a hazard to itself. It's basically like strapping yourself to a bomb. One minor hit from the enemy and then BOOM! LOL.
I love the bulky design. I want this kit. Hopefully I find it at a slightly cheaper price
You can mount the shield brace a bit lower aswell to keep the arm articulation free.
In my school vr game that thing is a surport unit when doing the unicorn gundam destroyer mode boss fight in the campaign and during the fight there's a rare spawn of the heavyarms
Gundam Suits from 00 usually have the shield hardpoints at the front of the arm. Top of my head I can remember Exia, Astrea, and even Nadleeh. Many of the other GN-powered suits in 00 also have these hardpoints that act as general weapon hardpoints.
This is y I enjoy your channel you review the weird kits that I didnt know existed. Even tho its rated meh I kinda want it

How do you hide something like this from the government.
“Wanna see an ammo rack explosion?”
i'm mostly impressed by your ability to pronounce some of these names
Oh so it DOES come with missiles!
the amount of missiles is comparable to any armored valkyrie or a queadluun-rau
Armored vf31s has way more missiles, but zasa is still cool though
dang, this mono eyed lizard got so many missiles! I love it!
Hey wheres the kampfer shotgun?
is the shield not able to be mounted closer to the wrist? the way the arm is molded kinda suggests that it is possible, unless that puts a lot of stress on the brace.
Where has this boy been all my life? Reminds me of something out of Titanfall. I so gotta get him. 😭🤣
I absolutely love the zssa
The hard part:
Print all missile bays from red to black.
By the way, gj on introduce the HGUC models, I thought everyone prefer the Wing or Seeds.
This looks like an excellent kit to try one of those hg ibo inner frame conversion mods on
So, what should we give you for you to make a Genoace?
Y'know what? The Zssa makes the Always Bulky Zaku III look... not so bulky.
Dude, there are 66 missiles on that thing! Also, I had to add up the missiles on the back, arms, and chest and they equal 34 missiles! The 32 in the legs were not really needed!
I wish there was a way to mount the launchers directly on the shoulders just like in Unicorn.
I think the side flaps on the thrust pack are supposed to be airbrakes like with actual fighters, albiet, kinda useless if this thing was in a zero-g enviroment
looks like a labor from patlabor
I'm still waiting for the promised Dedicated video for the *"Alice System"* in Gundam Sentinel.
You know what I like about model kits? Custom jobs.
Back in the day ,l had the yellow version, but it wasn't as detailed as this one, NICE!
Exia's shield connects to the front of the arm
Wait...why can't you put the shield on the lower circles on the forearm? I swear I've done that with my yellow version of the Zssa.
A wise builder once said; don't judge a Dom by it's knee articulation.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY MISSILES!
Let's call this dude Gusion-Heavyarms
😃😃😃 😲😲😲 I did not know this mobile suit, very interesting HG model, I don ' t have it .... thanks for the video, very illustrative.
As orange metallic with black frame and backpack this could look sick as a custom.
I wish that this kit would come with an alternate parts and accessories (for the unit that has a shotgun) that would be awesome and worth 2,400 yen.
this kit look really good just a little bit paint job it will be perfect.a differnet between zeta ver. is sleeve then I will prepare for eputty
a lot of sort comings but i think its still neat and if you're willing to do some custom work it would be a great looking kit, with a unique silhouette
With the right pilot... This MS can be very dangerous!!
i like it and would probably paint it in the ZZ colors. really wish they'd make an updated Jamru Fin.
I was wonder why you haven't made a video on your thoughts on the G40 redesign of the original Gundam? Mono-eye sensor on top of the head ftw?
Could you not attach the shield to the lower set of holes to preserve articulation?
Call it a Destroid and it'd be perfectly at home in Macross.
This thing is terrifying in GBO2 so much stun
If I counted those missiles right, we should be looking at... 66 MISSILES?!
Umm... overcompensating much?!
Dont you mean the "Walking Missile Dispencer" allternatively The "How many missiles you can fit in a mobile suit bet taken to its extreme"
Imagine you were a gaza-c pilot escorting the zssa and then the zssa gets hit:
compare the Zssa to Macross's armored valkyries... especially the macross frontier version since early versions are stuck in battroid mode.
in Gerwalk mode, armored valkyries look like the Zssa hunched over... then missile spam begins.
This unit just feels like something from macross I can’t lie
This is pretty neat, though the stickers would probably make me hesitate on this unless I saw it on sale.

@@Spaceman0720 Good point.
Also, white paint has the lowest weight!
Yeah, that's about what I felt.
Why did they make this the standard, and the TV version the P-Bandai?
Because people don't like the ZZ show?
Can you make a list about the top underrated ms pilots? I'm sure that will be interesting to see
How you make him stand without an action base and with all that backpack load out?
For me he can't.
that'll make trowa barton blush!
haha
66 missiles, I think, overall, but it's certainly possible I am missing some.
8:54 I see what you did there.

Sweet heart I have so many missiles, missiles for days
now the zssa is cool and all, but what about the zssan?
Why is the Zssa pretty short compared to the Doven Wolf and Zaku III? Not counting the booster that makes up the whole height of it.
Basically a BM-21 Grad but Mobile Suit.
The mono eye doesn’t move which sucks.
'Murica personified
What was this unit based on or created from?
So... what was the survival rate for this MS?
One shot from a boozka or even a well placed shot beam rifle shot and you high tech mech suit and its expensive missiles go down the drain
Heavyarms is shaking
the only other MS i can think of that uses a front-mounting shield is the Exia, and it's similarly limiting on her
Well you won't like it if you don't paint your kits. Look at all those curved surfaces! Look at all those part separations! You either have ideas on a metallic finish or preshading already!
The thing look like a tortoise that had a hunchback backpack and ton of missile without a neck
Whats the use of the holes/hardpoints at the top of the boosters outer missle pods?
that very have lot of missiles
there are 66 missiles your welcome
I counted around 67-68 missiles.
Gotta give it that sweet Kampfer shotgun
