  • Here's the High-Grade 1/144 scale Zaku II [Red Comet Ver.] & Type C-6/R6. More Zakus from The Origin line of HG kits is never a bad thing, but if you've already got a couple then you may not find much new to enjoy with these. Still though, fantastic kits!
    Thanks so much to Zaku Cebu for sending me these to check out! Check out their site and clearance sale here: www.zakucebu.com

      Want one to go with my rx 78-2 but don't wanna get the 2.0 because its a little too animeish for me. I tend to go for more realistic looks but the rg is trash apparently

    I say the only drawback of these origin kits are the mono-eyes. They don’t have a moulded eyes like the zaku ii’s from stardust memory kits. Instead the origin kits got a flat surface for the mono-eyes

      bunkerpla actually has a video detailing how he modified the mono eyes on an hg zaku to make look a lot better. Link at the bottom if you're interested:

      It's too bad they don't include a clear round pink piece since even the SDCS Zaku has that. Just have to keep some rhinestones from the craft store around for all your mono eyes.

      If you nickpick you could as well say that the seam lines on yhe lower legs, forearms and spiked shoulder are some other drawbacks. Im totally fine with those except the one in the legs, cuz you can clearly see they fixed that on the Zaku 1 mold

    • @thomastsuihn
      @thomastsuihn 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@UselessFox224 I think the reason people are annoyed is because Bandai has done that monoeye detail already on older Zaku kits, but they didn't do it for the newer ones

    These Origin Zaku's are great kits. I will probably get the different variants of them. I've built the C/C5 and Char's Zaku II. The first version.

  • @Chewie_Coffee
    @Chewie_Coffee 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I’m sure sales for both these kits will come down the line. Since Char’s red comet version is the definitive version perhaps the old one will go out of print for an early retirement? The C6 may or may not have the same effect on the C5, guess we will have to see.
    Great review, covered the differences nicely. Keep it up!

    This is my 1st zaku build and I just got the new mass production model. It is a little disappointing to not having a zaku machine gun but I think I like the belt fed machine gun a little more. My local store is going to be getting the zaku and gundam war sets from 8th ms team and I already reserved mine by paying up front and that kit comes with a zaku machine gun and I am happy with that. They are older kits for the suits themselves but I have this zaku and the newer ground gundam and the war set comes with the GM head for the gundam. I love 8th ms team and these are must haves for me beginning with this new hobby. I bought some cheap files and a good pair of nippers, with your advice in the beginner's video and I have been taking my time building and enjoying the process. I am taking about 10 hours or more to build each kit and I really don't want to go any faster and I noticed a difference in my anxiety. I don't have horrible anxiety but it's getting alot better and I seem to be happier. Healing with gunpla, lol.
