This is a fairly minor thing, but the feet aren't wrong. They are reproduced in Waverider mode as they appear in Gundam Unicorn, not Gundam Sentinel. Watch the clip of the Zeta Plus trying to escape in Unicorn and you'll see it. Now, whether it should have been animated like it's Gundam Sentinel design is a different story, but the kit is at least correct to the show it's from. The rest of the criticisms are pretty fair, overpriced, knees hamper waverider mode, etc. But just thought I would point that out
Good to know. That's very shitty on Sunrise's part, but Bandai still messed up because the feet are used as-is for the HGUC C1. Either way, still bad/wrong.
I have missed your review for so long I kept rewatching the older ones. There's just something special and calming about your reviews. Thanks man, make more videos and I'll be sure to watch all of them! Cheers 😁
Awesome review as always, and a good follow-up to the Metal Robot Spirits Zeta Plus Review from a while back. Well, the figure was the C1 but it doesn't really matter. Keep up the amazing work and I’m excited to see more from you hopefully in the coming months.
just built it couple of days ago.. and while i was generally pleased with the ms mode looks, also noticed the the issue with the knees. well i mostly display my kits in ms mode anyway...generally i like how it looks in ms mode more than the GEP zeta, maybe its the sentinel flair
Personally I like the shorter sabers, i even modified the beam effect from a hg Leo to work on the saber for the RG MK II, which for some reason comes with master grade effects.
While I understand the criticism, I myself got the delta kai, which is pretty similar (especially in arms construction) and loved it, granted I usually keep it in waverider mode, will probably pick this to add it to the waverider army
5:31 I don't really get the horrible from the bottom complaint,since most people wouldn't display it upside down or on its side It's similar to transformers figures,which usually have shite on the bottom to accommodate the transformation cheaply
I really appreciate your criticisms, but I’m still not dissuaded from this one. The errors are small enough for me to overlook, and this will look really cool getting stomped on by my Jesta Cannon!
Yo Citrus, can you do a review of the Zeta A1 MG? I can't find a good one online. I want to buy one to go along with the FAZZ and EXS, but...no idea if it's a statue, a decent for it's time, if it can even move, and if it does, how many parts will fall apart and stuff, please man. I need it bad!
Personally I like those short sabers more, but in stead of two short or two long sabers, I'd prefer one short and one long, with the long one to be used straight or to be manually bent in a slashing effect, should the user want to, but like....who poses with two sabers anyway?
God the more I look at sentinel stuff the more I love it. My FAZZ Ver Ka is so good looking, even if the build wasn’t all that fun. I’m guessing you’re planning on picking it up when the world gets a little less crazy? Either way I’ll be glad to see more content.
Second part to my comment, I think the feet were made like that, because they sacrificed articulation for accuracy, and the knees... Um... Maybe the knee cap, on the MG sorts swings, like the bottom part extends from the knee, and that's how the MG gets the full wave rider leg... And I guess they couldn't do that on the HG? Yeah I really don't know
They could have hollowed out the lower portion of the leg just a little more, and the knees would've folded in fine. As for the feet, I think designed looked at the other Waverider HGs up to that point, noticed they all have a foot bend, and kept it for this kit without checking the Zeta Plus drawings.
Thank you for pointing that out! I didn't realize until later how much of a hindrance they are, because the hip cannons can't move out of the way at all, like they can on the MG and the action figures. Lifting the legs up is almost impossible with the skirt in place.
I could use your advice: I have trouble placing decals as my hands shake from the medication I am on, also for that reason I usually avoid markers. any workarounds you could think of? thanks.
I still love this kit. But I do agree with the asking price being too steep. The beam rifle was retooled to include the second tab behind the grip which the original from the rezel and delta plus doesn’t have. @citrus have you sold the C1 yet or is it still up for grabs?
There is a web-exclusive gray MG A1: schizophonic9.com/re4/mg_zplusuc.html The main differences between the A1 and C1 are shield, waist armor, and wing binder parts.
I love this design and color scheme.. but was so disappointed in the kit, that I gifted it to my neighbor's kid once it was built lol! He loves robots , and is 5, so he isnt concerned with anime accuracy or articulation 😂😄
@citrusjuicebox yeah. The way you make the waverider mode is the exact same process for the Delta Plus. I think the could do a revive Delta Plus and even the Zeta Plus using the revive zeta as the base and it would be awesome
So glad I didn't spring for this one. Thanks for exposing the flaws here like a true reviewer ought to do. The MG Zeta Plus A1/C1 is still my favorite Gunpla representation of any Zeta Gundam-inspired design. It just gets it right. Granted, it can be hit-or-miss with the hip locking latch, and the articulation is pretty pathetic compared to modern kits, but it's the most stable in poses and lends itself the best to repeated transformation. That the HGUC gets it even worse than the MG, with twelve years' worth of technology on its side, is very disappointing.
Can you review the hguc re zel commander type please I wanna know your thoughts on the kit and wether I should buy it I just wanna hear it coming from you

I’m excited not because I can see a review, I’m excited because its your review!
I have missed your review for so long I kept rewatching the older ones. There's just something special and calming about your reviews. Thanks man, make more videos and I'll be sure to watch all of them! Cheers 😁
Oh hey get hyped it's a Citrus vid!
The HGUC version still has some good detail. A lot of parts to remove and reconnect to make the wave-rider. Color scheme is good.
Awesome review as always, and a good follow-up to the Metal Robot Spirits Zeta Plus Review from a while back. Well, the figure was the C1 but it doesn't really matter. Keep up the amazing work and I’m excited to see more from you hopefully in the coming months.
I hope you’re doing well. We need you back man. You’re one of the best reviewers in the game. Can’t have you gone too long now.
hands down this is one of the best gunpla channels
just built it couple of days ago.. and while i was generally pleased with the ms mode looks, also noticed the the issue with the knees. well i mostly display my kits in ms mode anyway...generally i like how it looks in ms mode more than the GEP zeta, maybe its the sentinel flair
Glad to see Mr. Scissor derping as always
Personally I like the shorter sabers, i even modified the beam effect from a hg Leo to work on the saber for the RG MK II, which for some reason comes with master grade effects.
Despite all of the hate these kits get, they are one of my favorites, and i'm so happy to be the owner of them, thanks Citrus!!
hey citrus, you make this kit looks premium!
This is a great video. I've been considering picked up a Zeta, an A1, and a C1 to display together. I think it would look amazing.
I had many problems with the shoulder parts being loose on the sentinel C1 variant but I love this kit
While I understand the criticism, I myself got the delta kai, which is pretty similar (especially in arms construction) and loved it, granted I usually keep it in waverider mode, will probably pick this to add it to the waverider army
Delta Plus/Gundam/Kai is pretty great. Looks great in all modes!
I was waiting you to review this kit!
Been awhile but I gotta say I love your straight builds they look so clean
5:31
I don't really get the horrible from the bottom complaint,since most people wouldn't display it upside down or on its side
It's similar to transformers figures,which usually have shite on the bottom to accommodate the transformation cheaply
citrus where ya at man its been 6 months
Ey yo guys its Citrus the best person who does Gunpla reviews! Keep up the good content bro! hope ya post something soon.
Waited for this!!!😆😆
Finally another Video by Citrus😎
Especially the Delta and ReZel series Waverider form
How did you achieve the dark metallic color on the side skirts (beam sabers)?
Dark gray Gundam Marker
I really appreciate your criticisms, but I’m still not dissuaded from this one. The errors are small enough for me to overlook, and this will look really cool getting stomped on by my Jesta Cannon!
Heyyyy! I was getting into this! Been awhile since u reviewed a model kit. Great seeing u back at it again
Yo Citrus, can you do a review of the Zeta A1 MG? I can't find a good one online. I want to buy one to go along with the FAZZ and EXS, but...no idea if it's a statue, a decent for it's time, if it can even move, and if it does, how many parts will fall apart and stuff, please man. I need it bad!
Gosh I missed you, man! Great to see another review from you.
Personally I like those short sabers more, but in stead of two short or two long sabers, I'd prefer one short and one long, with the long one to be used straight or to be manually bent in a slashing effect, should the user want to, but like....who poses with two sabers anyway?
My favourite kind of reviewer
God the more I look at sentinel stuff the more I love it. My FAZZ Ver Ka is so good looking, even if the build wasn’t all that fun. I’m guessing you’re planning on picking it up when the world gets a little less crazy? Either way I’ll be glad to see more content.

Welcome back!
I wish the zeta plus came with the same foot replacement parts as the delta plus, that probably would've solved the issues in the foot.
When will you do a figure rise ultraman tiga review?
For mine I keep the backskirt on the Transformation Block because legs are much better articulate without it
Thank you for pointing that out! I didn't realize until later how much of a hindrance they are, because the hip cannons can't move out of the way at all, like they can on the MG and the action figures. Lifting the legs up is almost impossible with the skirt in place.
I prefer the a1's design than zeta gundam, the a1 just looks much more better
I have been waiting and finally a new video
Yay, citrus is back
Welcome back man!
I would have loved to see I height comparison between this and the MRD Zeta Plus C1
I don't have the kit anymore, but the HG is slightly shorter. It looks really bad next to the MRD, because the proportions are very different.
This look good, i should get one
I could use your advice: I have trouble placing decals as my hands shake from the medication I am on, also for that reason I usually avoid markers. any workarounds you could think of? thanks.
I have shakey hands too. What works for me is holding my breath on an exhale. Seems to steady my hands a bit.
Does the backpack binder swappable with zeta?
Did you add some flat top coat or is that the actual finish of the kit?
Matte coated
Can u review RG Crossbone next?
But you have to admit, it's a pretty good looking jet.
I preferred the orange
Also fits in the theme of ur channel lol
Welcome Back!
I still love this kit. But I do agree with the asking price being too steep. The beam rifle was retooled to include the second tab behind the grip which the original from the rezel and delta plus doesn’t have.
@citrus have you sold the C1 yet or is it still up for grabs?
Still available!
Citrus how can I get in touch with you then?
@@BLAZE084 Send me a message on Instagram! Or email me at gunpla4mr.scissors@gmail.com
@@citrusjuicebox Thanks! I'll be in touch very soon.
Is there an MG version of this design? Also , what is the difference between this on and C1 version you had in box?
There is a web-exclusive gray MG A1: schizophonic9.com/re4/mg_zplusuc.html
The main differences between the A1 and C1 are shield, waist armor, and wing binder parts.
Does it have landing gear?
Hello, you're citrus
I wish the Rezel would be reprinted again. Idk I haven't decide yet if I want to pick this hg up considering it aint exactly the best.
Great!!!
Man it's been a long time.
Hi Citrus! Are you using a matt finish for this kit?
I love this design and color scheme.. but was so disappointed in the kit, that I gifted it to my neighbor's kid once it was built lol! He loves robots , and is 5, so he isnt concerned with anime accuracy or articulation 😂😄
simply better Old 1/144 kit of Z plus than HG for transformation systems & renovatable points...
So it's basically a slightly modified Delta Plus? It has the exact same transformation or should i say parts-formation
The parts are unique, but the formula is the same
@citrusjuicebox yeah. The way you make the waverider mode is the exact same process for the Delta Plus. I think the could do a revive Delta Plus and even the Zeta Plus using the revive zeta as the base and it would be awesome
Hey @Citrus
Just out of curiosity: did you find a buyer for the C1 or did you keep it?
Happy Holidays!
Both gone. Happy new year!
I will take your C1 if you don’t want it
Shoot me a message on IG!
Wow, that flat coat looks great! What did you use?
Rust-Oleum top coat - amzn.to/2pTkEUh
Bruh I'm a Waverider mania too
So glad I didn't spring for this one. Thanks for exposing the flaws here like a true reviewer ought to do.
The MG Zeta Plus A1/C1 is still my favorite Gunpla representation of any Zeta Gundam-inspired design. It just gets it right.

G.F.F.N ZII #0041 I think you will like it.
Yooo finally
Hey Citrus, do you take requests for speed builds?
Depends on the request. Send me a message on IG!
Citrus Well, the kits I want to see a speed build are the hgbf G Portent and the Age 3 (any of them).
@@goingblargh Sorry, not particularly interested in any of them.
Citrus Dammit. There's nothing for any of the Age-3 variants and while there is a video for the Portent, it's way too fast to really see anything.
Citrus What about the 1/100 Grimegerde or HG Brave?
Is Citrus ded?
MRD of zeta plus looks a lot better than the hg kit
If only Bandai make C-1 a regular release....
Dammit Bandai
almost same price as hguc gustav karl, and smaller which is totally not worth it imo
We need a revived version of this kit and needs to be a lot better I love the zeta plus a1
That's one of the saddest transforming suits ever. It looks really nice but damn.
My disappointment was immeasurable.
the price alone make this kit not a worth kit to buy.
took you long enough
mmmmmmmm....hand fetish
f-chu-chu
Can you review the hguc re zel commander type please I wanna know your thoughts on the kit and wether I should buy it I just wanna hear it coming from you
