REVIEW GFF Metal Composite MS-06R-1A High Mobility Type Zaku II Black Tri Star [ The Origin ], Bandai

The head shape is the same as the previous Zaku. Unlike the Shaazaku and mass production types, the pipe has a different color from the main body color. The mono eye is a clear part like the others. The method of opening the top of the head and moving it with the knob was the same.

Body Unit

Based on the Zaku II that came out earlier, the legs and school bags peculiar to the high mobility type are reproduced with new modeling. The shape of the fuselage is the same as the others. Black and purple, which are peculiar to the Black Tertiary Star, have a habit-free color and a matte texture that looks good. Waist circumference. Zaku II marking are also accurate. The gimmick that can open and close the hatch on the chest is the same as before.

Arms and Legs Unit

The arms are the same, but the legs are newly modeled and precisely modeled with thrusters. The nozzle part is connected with a ball joint. The shoulders are asymmetrical. The school bag is also newly modeled. The nozzle is also connected with a ball joint and the lower fins are also movable.

Weaponry and Accessories

This GFF METAL COMPOSITE MS-06R-1A High Mobility Type Zaku II Black Tri Star included a set of stands. A decal that can reproduce the markings of each machine is also included. Gaia, Mash, Ortega machines can be reproduced by changing the equipment.

You can use Bazooka A2 type for MS for reproduced Zaku II Gaia ver. This is the same model as the one attached to other Zaku. It can be replaced with A1 type as well as others. The same applies to the fact that the scope, grip, and foregrip move and the magazine comes off. Gaia machines have shields on both shoulders, and magazines can be attached to both shoulders.

For reproduced Mash Machine you can equiping it with a newly modeled anti-ship rifle. Except for the rifle, it was the same as the original state. Anti-ship rifle is new and features a powerful length that exceeds the total height of the main body. The rear sub-grip can be expanded and other magazines can be attached and detached. The magazine can be attached to the right shoulder shield.

For reproduced Ortega Machine is equipped with Giant Heat Hawk. The other parts remain in their original state. Giant Heat Hawk is also quite large, such as the blade part, and it looks the most powerful in this time. The light emitting state can be reproduced by replacing the blade part. It was also possible to open the central cover and raise the nozzle. A short type handle is also included. The following are the same parts as the past Zaku. This is a commander machine type head part like the mass-produced Zaku. Zaku machine gun scope cover can be opened and closed, the foregrip can be moved, the magazine can be attached and detached, and it can be mounted on the back of the waist. Heat Hawk (Commander) is the one with the blade emitting light, and a heat hawk (short) for mounting is also included. The modeling is almost the same as here, and the legs and backpack are new. By the way, the price is up about JPY 2,000.

Movability and Articulation

Since the joints are the same as the past Zaku 2, the movement is almost the same. Since the shoulders are pull-out type, you can afford to hold both hands of the bazooka. The rotation of the waist is about 45 degrees as before. The stand was a type that was made directly without using joints and was easy to use. Since the number of thrusters has been increased, the back view looks more powerful than normal Zaku.

This features a long anti-ship rifle. The neck is pull-out and flexible, so it was easy to pose like looking into the scope. Since the stand is solid, you can reproduce the shooting in an unstable posture that was done in the play. The Ortega machine is characterized by a huge giant heat hawk. It was good that the light emitting blade of the clear parts also gave off an atmosphere. The metallic painted nozzle is also a little accent. The waist does not turn that deep, but if you combine the movement of the mono eye, it will make you feel like you are swinging around.

Summary

The legs and backpack are high mobility type different from normal Zaku, but the thruster etc. are reproduced with precise modeling like Metacon and it is finished in a powerful appearance, and the black and purple coloring peculiar to the black triple star is also matte. It has a nice texture and looks good, and it looks pretty cool. Since the joints etc. are the same, the movement is the same as the past Zaku, but this time it is a specification that can reproduce the equipment of each black tri-star Mobile Suit unit, so a large volume anti-ship rifle and giant heat hawk are also included and regarding play value Was even higher than the past Zaku.
