Without having watched a single episode of Gundam, I love the Zaku design. I’ve built and customized one, and eventually I’ll get more! The design is just so great!
I’m so sorry these videos don’t get the reviews of your others because I can tell how much you enjoy gundam and I enjoy your Indian videos due to the enjoyment I hear in your voice
While technically not my first Gunpla, it was the HG Origin Zaku II (Gaia/Mash) that I impulse bought in SF Japantown in 2015 that really kicked off my Gunpla collecting hobby. That year, as a school project, I taught myself Tinkercad to design a crummy custom head for it that had a Zapper Zaku style visor.
Dude thanks for that little piece of info about the pipes on the Zaku head. I didn't realize I had them upside down for almost three years. lol XD I'm so sorry C/C5 and C6/R6 😪
the first zaku kit i got was the char zaku II red comet version (it had extra stickers and slightly different accessories) but it sadly broke, but i got the hguc revive and i plan on getting the other origin kits because they're so compatible
The only zaku I have at this time is a beginner level one with the colored being placed onto the torso and limbs with the weapons including the following: Bazooka Heathawk Machinegun Triple-tube missile pods for the legs I have mine built with the command antenna and the weapons on it completely; I wish I could show you it despite the novice level it is.
These are really neat! I haven’t ever built a real gunpla, but I found a gashapon machine at my local GameStop. Bought a few gundam ones and was surprised to find that they’re actually mini model kits essentially. Fully articulated and everything. I’m so blown away by ‘em that I’m considering buying a real gunpla.
Gunpla is quite simple, and now is actually a great time to start out because Bandai has the Entry Grade line. Entry Grades are designed to require no tools at all to build, and they have great color separation and articulation while sacrificing relatively little, all at a cheap price if you just go for the basic loadout. Origin Zakus are more on the complex side, but there’s nothing even a novice builder shouldn’t be able to handle aside from the dark plastics being prone to marking if you’re not careful cutting the pieces out. It would be wise to invest in a good pair of single-bladed nippers (GodHands are top of the line, but DISPAE offers a much cheaper alternative) as well as a pair of shitty nippers like Bandais Entry Nippers. You use the crappy pair to snip far away from the part just to get it off the runner, then you come in with your good nippers and cut close to the part. After that you can sand or file the nub down and you should be left with a relatively clean part.
I just got the revive of the char zaku, only having recently gotten into gunpla. I was going to get this version but it was a tad bit more expensive the place I looked. love the design of these guys.
I’d assume the origin version is more expensive because it tends to come with more. The revive version gives you the heat hawk, machine gun, and bazooka, I think, while the Origin version of the bazooka has three magazines that plug onto the shield, as well as the anti-ship rifle.
Have you seen the G-frame zaku kits? I haven't been able to find any proper HG Zaku kits in stores at all the past few years aside from the char one. I'd custom paint them into normal zakus if I wasn't lazy but once I saw the G-frame ones I ended up kinda gathering a small squad of them. They're tiny hyper-posable kits that build a bit differently than most because the parts come pre-snipped and installed on a "display frame" you need to pull apart and reconfigure into a stand.

I recommend gundam thunderbolt season 1.
And war in the pocket over Christmas.
Zeig Zeon! XD
The original zaku kits are a blast to build, and I'm in love with the dark green on the origin zaku
Definitely a super solid kit, the kit I've built the most of at four, with the standard green and all three Black Tri-Stars.

I have one model kit
He has a visor on his face, and I broke the piece in half so I put a googly eye on him, now he’s even better

Need to get another one to these and the new hg one, misplaced the eye on my first one so now he looks like he’s always looking down on someone

I’m surprised that Bandai still haven’t made the other High mobility Zaku iis in the Origin mold.
Awesome vid & Top-notch Fig!!
I have the Char, Black Tri Stars (Gaia/Mash unit) and Act Zaku (Kycillia's Forces) in my collection...
SIEG ZEON!!!
First i really like the red and gray

@@Jcc2224 I would love to see a video of them like how this was done
Awesome man
Jcc I was wondering if you wanted to do a trade for my 40-50 Gundams for some of your star wars figures?
leg pipe broke on mine 💀
Chars zaku the origin
I've got the very fartwothy chars zaku mg.👍
Do you watch Gundam anime, read Gundam mangas? Or do you only build gunpla? If you do watch Gundam have you watched Gundam iron blooded orphans?
Hey jcc I’m going to be sending something in you P.O. Box
The only good high grade is one crushed under a cinder block
This year I ended up building my first Zaku now I have the Gia/mash bts, c5,half cannon and the older shin matsunaga
