also you missed a point of articulation. the chest Clicks in just like the zaku 1 and zaku II. it's just not as Loose as it is on those other ones. I remember you said you didn't like them because they would articulate when you didn't want them to well with this they fix that and it's more of a click into place mechanism. there's two extra centerpiece underneath the chest that I don't think the zaku had
I got one of these and painted it silver and dark purple and made the helmet more knight like. I also gave it the mace from the helmwige. It looks pretty cool now
While going through my boxes I just realized that this kid comes with an extra shoulder joint that connects to the spiky shoulder armor in case you want to have a high Mobility type zaku II with two spiky shoulders but you don't want to have to continuously switch the inside mechanics. I'm going to have to take but look at the instructions soon really tear into this
I've enjoyed the Kit. So much so I got a second one after putting together the first kit. But that's down to the Awesomeness of the Origin Zaku kits. A lot of nice movement from it.
I agree. The Waff is just this really simple, nice design, and I think a lot of it comes from the head and the wide space it gives to its mono-eye. Kind of makes the Waff look all innocent and wide-eyed. :p
@@Equalsundew They aren't truly Zakus though..the Zaku I is the first Zaku...they are the forerunners that lead to the zaku.. They are ALL monoeyed suits however..
this guy looks really cool holding me anti-ship sniper rifle looking thing. I'm not sure what they were thinking with the brown body though. they probably did it to encourage you to paint it
hey man, just wondering if you can swap the Waff head with a Zaku head? or maybe the shoulders and/or backpack i was thinking of a custom Zaku kit with a "rocket arm"... nice review anyway... it's been a while watching your videos (limited internet on my hometown during vacation) so really looked forward in watching this... 😀
+Tommy John Alamon Yeah man, you could very easily swap this for a Zaku II head, especially if it's another origins kit, as the neck joint part is the same!
+ZakuAurelius yey... now i just have to find 3 Origin HGs for the kitbash (Zaku II Hi-Mob head and weapons, ProtoDom backpack, and this Waff)... thanks man...
that's the smallest backpack I've ever seen! besides it's not outside the realm of possibility secret BOS technology. think about it they protect mankind from the burden of Technology in the destruction it brings. how many things are in a volt that they just refused to allow any human to see? what do you think wastelanders would think if they saw flying man? I bet you they would be a little bit more curious about the BOS.
It´s not a german term (Waffe means weapon, but the MS misses the e). Many Zeon MS have that "almost a german term" name thing... But you pretty much nailed the pronouciation!
i think its pronounced Waff (vaff) because it reminds me of the Luft-waff-e, see? also, i made sure to give mine the most detail possible, and it turned out AMAZING! (Amazing Waff anyone? kinda hope if there's a season 2 to build fighter's try, that the Waff makes a debut of some kind, along with the suits from IBO, and Reco in G)
I completely agree as good as it looks with a little bit of modeling will bring out its true potential i think the armor should be straight flat titanium as a proto just bare metal awesomeness
Getting a riot shield vibe from its shield. Could paint in blue/black/white police colour scheme with police badges decals and a moto "Obey and Survive" or "Conquer and Enslave" written on the shield.
Form the gunpla design, kinda yes. But from the story perspective, waff was earlier than zaku. Waff kinda exist in the "origin" version of gundam series only because if you follow the very old uc gundam lore, the ms-01 till ms-04 are all testing model which not armored or combat-able like this but in "origin" version they only give the code name "ms" to those testing "success" mobile suit.
![1/144 HG Zaku I (Denim/Slender) [The Origin Ver.] Review](/img/n.gif)
Love it's design, makes it an easier base to create a 40k space marine of your own, especially with both pauldrons existing
That's actually smart
I get a very big Zudah vibe from this design,you know the one mobile suit from Igloo that blew itself up! Anyway like the design good review!
10:30 No mention of the secret meowing feature when you plug the heat hawk into the skirt? :3
The Waff reminds me of what Zeon engineers made as the first mobile suit for testing.
im almost certain it is.
also you missed a point of articulation. the chest Clicks in just like the zaku 1 and zaku II. it's just not as Loose as it is on those other ones. I remember you said you didn't like them because they would articulate when you didn't want them to well with this they fix that and it's more of a click into place mechanism. there's two extra centerpiece underneath the chest that I don't think the zaku had

Hey Mr. Zach! I like this kit! Hope to see it soon in my country
im really excited for this kit!
it'll be perfect for my hg zeongraphy project
I also notice that it kind of looks like the Zudah
+tardislord02 Yeah definitely! Actually I hate the legs of the Zudah, but I wouldn't mind swapping them out for these Waff legs! Hmm....
While going through my boxes I just realized that this kid comes with an extra shoulder joint that connects to the spiky shoulder armor in case you want to have a high Mobility type zaku II with two spiky shoulders but you don't want to have to continuously switch the inside mechanics. I'm going to have to take but look at the instructions soon really tear into this
Thanks Zach for pointing out the seamlines on the Waff, that's the main reason im getting this one :)
+Cid Mayer You'll have very little to worry about!
I've enjoyed the Kit. So much so I got a second one after putting together the first kit. But that's down to the Awesomeness of the Origin Zaku kits. A lot of nice movement from it.
+Mark Hall Yeah this would be a cool kit for doing a couple of them to make a team!
i surprising REALLY likw this design for some reason, just somethin about lol
I agree. The Waff is just this really simple, nice design, and I think a lot of it comes from the head and the wide space it gives to its mono-eye. Kind of makes the Waff look all innocent and wide-eyed. :p
Yep me too, along with the Bugu...really neat designs..origin designs are great!
Well it makes sence since there all earily types of zakus
@@Equalsundew They aren't truly Zakus though..the Zaku I is the first Zaku...they are the forerunners that lead to the zaku..
They are ALL monoeyed suits however..
Not a lead and not a grunt? Sounds like the Zaku II high mobility type
Boring/bland is the last gen Zaku II...this kit is awesome. I like the colors.
I like this design. it reminds me of the Sniper Joe enemies from the Megaman games.
how the hell to pronounce dis ms again? "waff", "vaff", "waffu", "vaffu"? well screw it, i'm just callin' it "waifu"
Well you can if there's a body pillow
Or, i will eat it alive if i call it "waffle"
What's waifu
Waff does have pretty Thicc thighs. Solid robowaifu choice.
“FUF” - Miniminter
this guy looks really cool holding me anti-ship sniper rifle looking thing. I'm not sure what they were thinking with the brown body though. they probably did it to encourage you to paint it
"And this junk here you called "progress", what kind of weapon exposes it's engine by strapping on it's back?"
FigureGunplaFan is this a quote?
Yes.
Everything has to start somewhere. :p
When it gets stabbed in the back, it takes the guy down with him
Isn't that for the mobile worker 01?
That rocket punch pose makes me wanna make a custom Venom Snake Zaku
this is the predecessor of the zaku one
I suppose the Waff could be customized into a Prototype Newtype suit by having the detachable arms turn into funnels?
Reminds me of a cross between a Zaku and a Gelgoog with a TINY bit of Dom mixed in.
Could I put Zaku Amazing parts on this?
hey man, just wondering if you can swap the Waff head with a Zaku head? or maybe the shoulders and/or backpack i was thinking of a custom Zaku kit with a "rocket arm"...
nice review anyway... it's been a while watching your videos (limited internet on my hometown during vacation) so really looked forward in watching this... 😀
+Tommy John Alamon Yeah man, you could very easily swap this for a Zaku II head, especially if it's another origins kit, as the neck joint part is the same!
+ZakuAurelius yey... now i just have to find 3 Origin HGs for the kitbash (Zaku II Hi-Mob head and weapons, ProtoDom backpack, and this Waff)... thanks man...
You could always put the arms on a high Mobility type or Dom test type
I can't wait for the ms14
What nippers do you use?
this is a good use of it, the rocket punch! heh
+Arrowdodger I thought so! ^^
the calf armor on the inside of the legs is a bit tricky to get right. it kind of goes in weird
I swear, this would pass as a fallout 4 power armor if not for the backpack
that's the smallest backpack I've ever seen! besides it's not outside the realm of possibility secret BOS technology. think about it they protect mankind from the burden of Technology in the destruction it brings. how many things are in a volt that they just refused to allow any human to see? what do you think wastelanders would think if they saw flying man? I bet you they would be a little bit more curious about the BOS.
Am I the only one who wants to use the Waff as a grunt suit to accompany the Gyan?
it's a cool looking suit! I've certainly come around- a lot due to it just being a really nice kit
It´s not a german term (Waffe means weapon, but the MS misses the e).
Many Zeon MS have that "almost a german term" name thing...
But you pretty much nailed the pronouciation!
I've never seen this design before, it looks kinda like the chonkier version of the zaku i
i think its pronounced Waff (vaff) because it reminds me of the Luft-waff-e, see? also, i made sure to give mine the most detail possible, and it turned out AMAZING! (Amazing Waff anyone? kinda hope if there's a season 2 to build fighter's try, that the Waff makes a debut of some kind, along with the suits from IBO, and Reco in G)
I completely agree as good as it looks with a little bit of modeling will bring out its true potential i think the armor should be straight flat titanium as a proto just bare metal awesomeness
+ApocStrike Not the color I'd go with, but I see where you're coming from!
I'd recommend clear coating this kit it looks sooo good
At least it's what I did, it gives more pop to it
this is like the zaku if it was designed to please me
+Wireless_Phantom Lol, perfect!
Are you gonna get the Zaku I Denim Slender type kit that just got announced?
"just got announced"... The kit was announced 3 months ago,it was released today.
+Hiruma Berserker Whoops my bad
+Nico M. Yes! I will~
I thinl it would be cool to fill in the other eye opening on the head and leave the monoeye on one side.
Getting a riot shield vibe from its shield. Could paint in blue/black/white police colour scheme with police badges decals and a moto "Obey and Survive" or "Conquer and Enslave" written on the shield.
13:32 Seems like Snake's Rocketo Punch arm.
7:06 I think you'd call them latches.
While I do like the suit design the brown does kinda throw me off a bit. Would love to do a WWII type paint scheme on this.
+withadeafeningcry Go for it! The design suits that idea well!
i have been inspired to make a mech for MGS V Venom Snake. It's already got only one eye, just gotta give it a horn...
The Gouf is huge compared to the Waff.
say waff joking hhahhhhahhahaha
Lol I can hear your cat
Design wise this seems better compared to the zaku 2
Those hoses on the legs are really stupid
+Primescape 16 Indeed!
Primescape 16 Ah yes people... they can be the *greatest or worse thing for an MS* 😁.
Is it me or does the head when seperated look like a fish
i kinda looks like a zaku, gouf, and gyan combination
+poshstew Should make sense, as it was the predecessor to all three!
+ZakuAurelius oh haha lol
+ZakuAurelius still a nice and simple kit
6 Years later and you can't find this kit for under $50. What the fuck man
i just bought mine now for $20 lol
by listening too much Rammstein, i pronounce it Vuff or Voff
It's a zaku 1 modified version...
It's a bit before the Zaku I to my understanding. The Zaku I is MS-05 the Waff is the MS-03.
Form the gunpla design, kinda yes. But from the story perspective, waff was earlier than zaku. Waff kinda exist in the "origin" version of gundam series only because if you follow the very old uc gundam lore, the ms-01 till ms-04 are all testing model which not armored or combat-able like this but in "origin" version they only give the code name "ms" to those testing "success" mobile suit.
the color of the dark brown is Ewww, like liver color, should've been a darker grey and that's it
It would be pronounced vAph like Volkswagen voLksVAgen
me or you should paint this brown and call it Waffle
your cat wants attention
Why is he called waff? Was thr creator was on a waffle hang over when he decided his name
This looks like the bastardized cousin of the gouf custom from the 8th ms team except without all the awesome weapons and Norris Packard
+DarcMetal02 Without the weapons and Norris, then there's nothing left to make the Gouf Custom so awesome!
+ZakuAurelius exactly gouf custom is the best
Isn't the Gouf custom basically a MS-07B with a MS-07A left arm and flight type armaments?
This kit so plain
Jeez those are some thicc zeonic legs
