Phantom Model MG 1/100 ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior [Luna Maria Hawkeye Custom] Review

There's no need to elaborate too much when it comes to this product. After experiencing several offerings from this manufacturer, it's safe to say that their products consistently exhibit a high level of stability.

Regarding the Phantom Model MG 1/100 ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior [Luna Maria Hawkeye Custom], this release stands out for its unique attributes. In addition to launching a clear-color version (which was also limited in the original release), they've included a set of solid-color body armor, resulting in a dual-color body armor configuration. Remarkably, this enhanced package maintains the same price point, making it a commendable value proposition. The frame and the weaponry components retain their metallic molding colors (similar to the original version), which can sometimes lead to watermarks being somewhat common in such variants.

In terms of articulation and mobility, there is a noticeable improvement, particularly with the larger components. However, some minor adjustments might be needed, as the shoulder joint can feel slightly loose and may require reinforcement. Overall, this kit presents no significant issues in this department.

As for the impact of the clear-color version, it may not be immediately striking. While the original version offers a similar effect, the manufacturer has opted for a slightly darker color here, which results in a somewhat more subdued appearance. The translucency doesn't stand out prominently, and it gives the impression of a darker hair color. Nevertheless, the overall aesthetic is satisfactory. Considering the reasonable price point, the performance of this kit is quite commendable, especially given the enhancements it offers.
