GUNDAM - HGUC 1/144 - MS-06S Zaku II - Model Kit

Add the most famous command Mobile Suit of the Universal Century to your collection with the HGUC 1/144 MS-06S Zaku II (Gunpla 40th Anniversary Edition). Piloted by the legendary "Red Comet," Char Aznable, throughout the One Year War in the original anime series Mobile Suit Gundam, this iconic mecha has been completely re-engineered. Released to celebrate Gunpla's 40th anniversary, this High Grade Universal Century (HGUC) kit reinvents this legendary machine with perfect proportions, increased stability, and vibrant colors.

A streamlined propulsion backpack and an array of iconic military weapons

The HGUC Char's Zaku II (40th Edition) shines with its cutting-edge engineering that allows for the recreation of its combat profile and iconic infantry functionalities:

• The dorsal propulsion system (backpack): The classic and compact backpack, optimized for the phenomenal thrust required by the Red Comet (three times faster!), fits precisely on the mecha's back and features finely sculpted thruster details.
• The Zaku Machine Gun and bazooka: The kit includes the iconic Zaku machine gun with its movable foregrip and adjustable sight, as well as the powerful Zaku Bazooka to destroy Federation armor.
• Heat Hawk: For close-quarters combat, the arsenal includes the Heat Hawk, provided in two versions: an active version to be deployed in hand and an inactive version with a connector to attach it directly to the hip.
• Shoulder shield and armor: The right shoulder features the famous armored shield (Shield L-Section) mounted on a movable ball joint, while the left shoulder is adorned with its iconic spiked shoulder pad (Spike Armor).

Remarkable freedom of movement by Bandai

This 1/144 scale model demonstrates all of Bandai's expertise in modern articulation. Designed for the 40th anniversary, the kit offers a structural revolution: the skirt parts are provided in two versions, including an innovative option in soft plastic (TPE) that allows for extreme leg movements. The torso incorporates "belly flop" type articulations and ultra-extendable shoulders, allowing the mecha to crouch in an ultra-realistic manner and wield its weapons with two hands without any mechanical hindrance. True to the Snap-Fit principle, assembly is very fluid and requires no glue or paint for a clean, neat finish ready to be displayed on your shelves.
