![HG Zaku II [Red Comet Ver.] & Type C-6/R6 - Gundam The Origin (Review)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/iCuO39A29p4/mqdefault.jpg)
Putting spare ammo on the shield doesn't seem to be the wisest idea.
Enlapan Lima Better to put it on the shield than the MS itself. If the ammo explodes only the shield gets damaged and not the MS itself.
Good for storage.. Better Than just put it away
what about the ammo at the bottom of the exhaust ? XD lol
It’s probably plastic explosives anyways, and would act as spaced armour.
@@raymon3206 better than on the side skirts
Bought Zaku II Char yesterday evening. Watching this review, I can honestly say that HG Origin version is the best kit to get new gunpla collectors excited building grunt/Zeon kit. The build is solid, posing is not a problem with little to no part fall off apart from excellent range of articulation, surface detail is amazing for HG level and the price - I can't believe the kit is much cheaper than HGUC Unicorn Unicorn Mode I bought earlier.
When he was moving the head back and forth I could only think of one thing.... Giggity...
Who else but Quagmire...
For me the coolest Zaku, in terms of design, is the Zaku II改 from 0080...though this one is impressive too.
The old HG gave the option of having a left handed Zaku II as did the HG Zaku III, why can't there be a left trigger hand Bandai why!?!?
The hate on CGI is real here.... C'mon guys, it's not like the CGI were bad.. TBH, the CGI used in the Origins gave the MSs a realistic approach and made each details more apparent without the consequence of in-between frames from a traditional animation.
Plus, this isn't like Knights of Sydonia, Berserk (2016), and Kemono Friends where everything was a complete mess of bad CGI. Origins CGI doesn't extend to people and the CGI here looks better. The animation is also crisp.
Are you saying that CG is superior to something such as gundam thunderbolt?
@@soundywaivy I doubt they are but if we could have more of the CG we got in The Origin I would be happy. Solid CG work that fits with the style of the show.
Don't forget MS Igloo
This zaku is amazing
get it, zaku amazing.
Slufffy Gamer it really drives me ballistic how great it is.
It's not even from Build Fighters, though :P
Memento Mori, punny
*FLAMENCO INTENSIFIES*
Axelnightmare a Zaku is still a Zaku, no matter where or when it was made.
This is definitely the best HG Zaku, most accessories, detail, poseability, stability, value, everything you'd want is here and *nothing* is left out.
However some may argue the RG looks better, or that the MG 2.0 is a better kit overall due to anime accuracy and the fact it's one of the best MG kits made to date.
There's nothing "anime accurate" about the MG Zaku v2.0, sadly. It's like they went for the retro look but couldn't quite commit to it.
ExtremeSManpig even with char zaku II? its not same kit?
It's closer than the modern Origin kits. The origin has panel detail and colors that match the Origin redesigns, while the 2.0 are more anime accurate in terms of that, however they only fail to capture the proportions, which isn't a bad thing in my book.
Char's Zaku II are just recolors with different accessories for every grade.
How good is the MG zaku 2.0 compare to recent MG kit in 2016 til now?
For those who have a few sharpies lying around, i have a tip for your heat hawks.
Colour the blade with a silver sharpie, then an orange, then a yellow. It's not the best, but it works.
The RGs are very annoying to pose. Parts WILL fall off.
Kev Lim yeah, makes me want to break the kit
ferny tee Most RG's will break themselves so you don't even have to try.
Kev Lim i have no problem my rg zakus
*u just gotta glue a few parts*
I got a lot of RGs no problems...
Majer Derp use nail varnish
the best zaku to date is..... "zaku"..aurelius :D
valen tino that stiker are the worst
i cant like this comment more then once........... FUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!
Biased with bootlegs? What he said about bootlegs are all true.
He focuses how bad bootlegs are? He's not eve trying. And the only thing he said "good" about a bootleg is the low price. And if you appreciate bootlegs then I think you appreciate/like thieves, crime because bootleggers just STEAL an original work by artist and company who spend money and hard work to create ORIGINAL pieces.
"I'm not having this argument again because a lot of people don't really appreciate bootlegs."
PATHETIC.
Ian Trinidad Did you just support bootleg? I can't believe it
the foot has 2 parts. If u press the front section up, the rear section will shift down all by itself.
dat good yeah just like the Zaku I origin
I just ordered this kit + tools for my friend as a Christmas present for his first gunpla.
I pray to the gunpla gods he likes this kit.
You're a good friend. How he liked it?
@@aldo_pinheiro he didn't. He's dead now 😭
I chose the wrong kit to send to my friend
@@aldo_pinheiro *late reply coming in* I sent him this and a MG Ball. He made the ball and enjoyed it, he never built the Zaku despite it being his favourite MS. I imagine he gave it to his friend who not long after that got into Gunpla.
@@ceeme03 Oh, that's a shame... But I can't blame him though. It's been 3 years since I bought my favourite Gunpla, the RG MS-06S Zaku II, but I still haven't built it😅
I want an MG Zaku Origin
Holy yes!
We need some type of 3.0 MG Zaku and an Origin ver would work perfectly
one of my favorite zakus so far
Love how the thumbnail says "best Zaku to date?" then you admit to building 3 other ones. Ubertrolling :)
This is the first video of Mechagaikotsu that I watched
The F2 WAS voted the "best" for a time, but that's only if you are into the design that's more or less departed from the original (not as much as FZ).
But that's for a HG kit- MG 2.0 is a solid kit (as are all its variations), but people have complained about its "anime accuracy," as it is such a pleasure to pose and display, but it looks more slim and "serious" (like the RG) as opposed to the original HGUC release, which is probably the most appropriately-chunky version.
Origin Type C/C5 is pretty much the definitive Zaku in-general now, although its negatives are the redesigned proportions, excessive (for some, not me) panel lines, and modified bazooka that differs from the "classic" version (this can be remedied by accessory-swapping or buying the system weapon set).
With those stickers I spray topcoat and it always has worked for me
you mean, with refular decals, after you done sticking them on , you sparay some top coat to keep it on nice and so it doesnt peel off in the future?. do you use tamiyas mark seter before sprayin?
matt/flat topcoat yeah
It works well for light plastic colors but for dark plastic colors the clear film is still pretty obvious.
Thank you mr shrek
I would love to see the GM equivalent of this, even if it was an older GM like the 2 or Type C but just have a lot of the GM weapons like the beam rifles, bazooka's and regular rifles and pistols.
now i only just realized there hasn't been yet an HGUC Revive version of the original Zaku II being made, the Real Grade being a more pricey alternative.
It's probably because the Origin Zakus are "close enough" that it would be redundant.
They haven't really made a kit of "the original Zaku II" since 1981 or so.
Originally, the Zaku's legs were actually pretty slender. Later on they started bulking up the legs - the MSV Zaku kits in 1984, and then the Hi-Zack, Zaku Kai and Zaku F2 all had the bulky legs, ultimately leading to the Master Grade Zaku in 1995.
Even the "Retro" Zaku kits, like the 2002 HGUC and the Master Grade v2.0, retain that bulky-legged design.
Personally I think a return to the old slender-leg design would be kind of interesting, and such a kit would certainly not be redundant.
Vust Valeo maybe they'll be released as part of the Gundam evolution project
For what reason will they release the normal Zaku II and Char's Zaku II as part of the Gunpla Evolution Project though? You can just paint your Zaku II Origin the "right" colors and that's it.
But why would you though? Zaku II Origin has a much better color, especially Char's Zaku II.
@Black Chandelier Mirage in the span of three years later everything changed a lot and I have already owned the "Revive" HG kit, lol.
Love the origin zakus! I have the tri stars mash/gaia custom, and planning to get more in the future. I absolutely love the anti ship rifle. To bad that my silly cat knocked the figure off the table and it broke the peg that held the rifle in the hand.
Arguably the best, I'd say. There've been a lot of good Zaku kits, but this one has so many great weapons, excellent articulation, and looks wonderful.
It looks to be the best HG Zaku kit. All the accessories are there, not to mention body parts change also included. So yeah. Best HG Zaku kit it is!
On another note, it would be funny if the last kit on the Origin OVA line is the Gundam itself, since the first kit is Char's Zaku II and with the Gundam being last, it's gonna be full circle.
Too bad Bandai is shit and chose the Unicorn for the 1:1 statue instead of Char's Zaku
I wouldn't want Char's Zaku personally. It's much better in green.
I personally prefer the Black Tri Star version...
Well, maybe this is why they didn't choose Zaku for 1:1 statue.
Shirakawa Hakase
Personal preference of colours isn't really important when it comes to making the 1:1.
It's like how they didn't bend over backwards for fans of the RX-78-3 colour scheme when they built the Gundam 1:1
I disagree while Zakus are cool to us gundam fans, they are not nearly as recognizable to people outside the whole gundam shazzam. Same could be argued with unicorn but unicorn has better "wow" value
Pat Libsoraled
Except the Zaku is one of the most recognisable pieces from Japanese media. It's like a Japanese storm trooper.
The Zaku 2.0 was the first kit I got after about a decade of hiatus from model kits in general. That kit is super fun to pose with (although there are some annoying issues with it) and got me back into the hobby. The Psycho Zaku is essentially a Zaku 2.0 kit on the inside but I kind of like the Char Zaku aesthetic better.
That kit and MG 2.0 is the best, I do have the Char's Zaku Origin version and it is absolutely fantastic,.
for a high grade, i believe so. but it's not entirely surprising because they always find a room to improve zakus no matter what the grade is. even the old HGUC is (in my personal opinion) still one of the most articulated HG out there.
The C-5 with GTO style machinegun is sick
It's pretty damn impressive. Goes well with the HG Revive RX-78!! Good review as always.
I'd argue that it doesn't. The level of surface detail and the overall styling doesn't seem like they'd fit all that well.
Alvin Tay I agree. I think the G30 HG Grandaddy goes better with the Origin Zeon kits
I just noticed..... you actually got their backpacks the other way around @ 3:57, according to the instructions at least
Can you do a review on the MG Gundam ver 2.0? It's a really amazing kit and I think it still holds up to this day.
SWIIEEVVE... oops wrong chanel
Rotation right here
Reza Fikriansyah JOBBY
No. Bad. Jobby disapproves of this.
Mah boy jobbo the hobbo
Its the best type of zaku2 i love ur vids
my wallet: no...NO!!! bad....dont buy a bunch of them i said DONT!
me ordering like 5 of them : -v-
Nothing can change my mind zakus is the best it look more Russian in my opinion
I was also surprised for a small 1/144 HG it was well done. Spent about four hours constructing it.
I like the colors on this zaku because its colors are the closest to the 08th Ms teams zaku ground type so all you gotta do is paint the tubes grey
This is the first review I watched from MechaGaikotsu
Not just the best Zaku, it's the bar that ALL high grades should be judged against. Honestly the Origen kits are the best HG kits ever made, period. They have detail and pose ability on par with Real Grade without falling apart.
My only complaint is the color. It could have been a more "army" green like the 08th ms team one. But that is personal preference.
Gold Tier right? Platinum would be nuts!
The MG Psycho Zaku is basically the MG Zaku Ver.2.0 in R-1A guise. This Type C/C5 HG borrows a lot of tricks from the MG Zaku Ver.2.0, that's why it's as poseable as it is. Bandai ought to release this in MG form. It isn't too hard to adapt the C/C5 changes and apply them to the base MG Zaku II F/J Ver.2.0, and we'd get a lot of weapon options as a bonus.
What color would you use to panel line the green armor?
This is the best hg
I ever seen i want to buy it
But my wallet is crying
I know i know let's be honest here
*zaku is yEs*
This Zaku II is so far, yes, one of the best kind I've ever seen; thanks for the review, I guess I'll have this for my Zaku II.
.
.
About the best Zaku, I didn't really knew much, but so far, my opinion falls to Zaku I Thunderbolt. Despite the limited articulation and lots of stickers (bad yellow for some), it's still worth to buy for a load of weapons (not as much as this Zaku II), great decals, great design, and if you like orange, go get it. :D
Show de bola esse modelo,já encomendei o meu hu hu !!
I’m buying 1 kit for each weapon I’m in love with this
The HG Origin series of kits is probably my favorite line of gunpla from Bandai.
It makes me sad that they are kind of hard to come across here in the states right now, and when/of you do find any (whether it’s from a private seller or retailer) they are marked up anywhere between 2-5 times over retail pricing. 😔 Makes it difficult to acquire enough for any kind of “army building” or even putting together a small “unit”. I’d kill to get my hands on any of the Black TriStar Zaku II’s or a Dom Test Type lol,
I found them at galactic toys of maybe 1.5 times the price. I mean there is also shipping but not that bad. Comparatively at least
This is honestly the perfect army building Zaku.
Bandai needs to give us an MG Origins Zaku 2.
Hey I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish but Lunamaria Zaku Warrior Gunner is the best Zaku of ALL TIME!
Oh god what's the point of a shield if you blow up when your hit.
For it to blow up and not you. Having the shield between you and your spare explosives isn't a bad idea.
I found my zaku
How simple is the build? Would it be good for a first-time Builder?
My Bff bought me one today
Wait she bought me a 6c-r6 ver
I don’t know if it is the best zaku but it is bad ass
In terms of an overall package, any Origin Zaku is gonna be your best bet for "Best Zaku," but in my heart, I will always love and prefer the Zaku 1 original HGUC kit just because it was the most poseable version of the Zaku released at the time, and it could be used as a great base for a custom gunpla zaku because it was a blank slate
Just finished this guy. First gunpla I ever got. Pretty happy with him, though if I could I would've done a few things different in how I built him (and probably NOT used the included stickers).
Just bought the RGM-79 Origin kit and looking forward to building it. Got some stands too, thought it would be fun to have a thing with the two grunts.
Personally, I think the HGUC Zaku II F2 is better than this kit. And yes I have built this kit as I own the Char's Zaku II Origin...
It's very close - the surface details on the Origin Zaku's are magnificent, and I LOVE that Anti-Ship Rifle (so much that I superglue'd mine due to the hand peg breaking). Articulation on this obviously blows all other HG Zaku's out of the water.
But for stability, proportions and overall "feel" I think the F2 wins.
Something about these Origin Zaku's just doesn't hit the spot. Just my opinion.
Got mine around August this year, came with all those weapons + 2 tomahawks and the anti-ship rifle. Definitely one of my favourite gunpla
You should definitely review both Zakus, the RG and MG 2.0
I bet this Zaku version can do Muay Thai fight pose... I did it with the HG Zaku 2 red comet ver..
"But for now, IKIMASU!"
Now that is a review beginning that would make Amuro himself happy!
I started to doudt this was a model kit as you showed its movment. Most kits I build are cheap and have areas that scream “I’m a model kit!” Like joints, foot joints, and when you pop off the head. This zaku looks like a rubber figure made in a factorty.
I don't like the zaku
So.....what's the difference between Type C and Type F? Aside from the C-5, both C and F looks exactly the same to me.
MG 2.0 is pretty good ive only built 2 Zakus being the MG 2.0 and the HGUC Zaku II unless u also count the MG Gouf 2.0
I challenge you to build every MG Zaku II 2.0
Just so you can suffer with building the hoses :D
The F2/2000 was good. Not as good as this guy. The f z type had unique colored piping. I don't know how I feel about the green pipes on this guy
Do I really need this kit, if I have char aku from 2015, but at the same time love this classic green color? Somebody, please, help.
I'm scared now cuz I didn't get that zaku mg
Forget what I said, I just realized this is the c-5, not the c-6
got to be the mg zaku 2.0. built it and i honestly can't find anything they could improve on it. even the 2.0 hands are in my opinion preferable to the 3.0 since the 3.0s are so fragile you wouldnt even want to pose those fingers all that often. but i will welcome a zaku origin mg kit but not as an upgrade and more of a different take on the zaku
So what's the difference between Zaku C-5/C-6?
I don't actually recommend using the heat hawk to move the monoeye. Idk if I'm just stupid, but i broke one that way.
Is it possible to swap the shoulders for a better shield position? I think that Zakus usually wield their guns with their right arms, so it'd be good to separate the shield arm and the weapon arm, meaning that the gun and the shield are on opposing arms.
Looks a lot like the FZ only with more detail lines and accessories. Everything else looks very, very similar.
How do you tighten joints on a model kit? Mainly the wings and pack on the Lunagazer.
Just got into gunpla and I know you’ll have a video about a kit I’m looking into Ty!
I very like zaku ll
I really don't know why the pipes are green. I'm pretty sure they're Gray on the high Mobility type
2.0 is still the best. This may be the best 1/144 but we will have to wait til the Johnny Ridden Zaku 2.
You have a stuck pixel in your camera sensor. Please fix it, it is annoying as all hell x)
Absolutely ! ! ! ! Love! ! ! ! ! zakus moblie suits to if I had one I prefer black anyone else psycho zaku is my favorite though.
Yup, definitely the best of all the Zaku line in HG. :D
Even more loaded than jake paul huh? YEAH RIGHT!
Is this 1/144?
Probby been said before but there is a toe bend my dudicus just gotta press the toe a certain way
I just have one question can i use the type c-5s side chest parts and use the type c chest on the kit or not?
I was wondering why the C type showed up in MSGO, figures it's a tie in
I wish I bought that zaku instead of Schwalbe Graze
I have the char origin, its actually the same articulation , you're right. but what make this is the best zaku is the accesories I think
The origins zakus are probably the best 1/144 scale zakus. I was skeptical when people said the Zaku 2.0 MG was one of the best MGs but when I tried it I was like hot damn this is nice. Except the fucking tubing, everything else is amazing.
I really want this kit but it only is pre order so would you be able to do a giveaway
Just bought this sucker. Can't wait to build him!
Probably is the best considering the price.
I'm probably crazy but what kills HG zaku kits for me are the forearm seams. HGUC F2 is the best zaku kit.
use glue and sandpaper
have you reviewed the Psycho Zaku Ver. Ka? 😮😮
The heel and toes do move but you have to pull down on it where they are separated.
It's a total package worthy of its cheap price. You can easily build an army of Zaku with these kits. The RG one is a damn pain to pose, parts will fall off. The 2.0 MG is nice but it's much more expensive price-wise.
