   Good, but not Great I want to start by saying this is one of my favorite kits to look at, and it was definitely fun to build. That said, it is not without its problems.
   
   The good: I love the colors. The salmon tones with the seafoamy/minty green accents really pops. Despite the almost cute color scheme, this suit does not fail to appear intimidating, and it currently is in an amazing fighting position with my MG Jegan (I definitely recommend these suits together from a color contrast stand point.) The frame felt very similar to the MG Zaku II ver. 2.Os, which is not at all a negative in my book, and it took a decent enough chunk of my time to feel the full satisfaction of building an MG kit.
   
   The Bad: The articulation is not great. There is some level of limitation that is to be expected of such a chunky kit, but this felt particularly bed in the legs. One of the details on the forearms appears looser than the others and took a few tries before it would actually stay in place. The rear skirt, while appearing as two flaps, is actually one solid piece. This isn't the worst thing in the world and doesnt end up changing much of the finished look when factores with the limited range of motion of the legs in the first place, but its an engineering choice that is more suited for an HG than an MG kit.
   
   The Ugly: The hands. The hands are terrible. It is impossible for them to hold the gun securely in either the version with articulated fingers or interchangeable finger parts. With the articulated fingers, you cannot make a satisfying fist, and I hate the trend of articulated hands with fingers that can't actually bend at the knucle. Whats the point? The gun itself is ugly, with my friend aptly describing "That is not a gun. That is a drill."
   
   Overall, if you like the look of the kit, it is worth the buy. It's on the cheaper end of the MG price range, it looks cool as hell when finished, and it was a fairly satisfying build. If you do desire to pose it with a better looking gun, the Zaku 2.0 hands will fit on this kit and would just require some painting.

   Don't let the color fool you.... this is a really solid kit for the money, it's got a great look and the action base adapter allows you to put it in some really cool poses. My only complaint it the limited movement of the head and the seam line at the back of the leg that just doesn't seem to come together too good. You can totally glue it together so it's not a huge deal though. Custom painting this kit is definitely something I want to do as I'm a fan of his gorillaish look. If you can't get a Zaku you may want to check this guy out.

   Look good, but dissapointing construction. I built this after building a 2.0 Zaku, so I was very disappointed by the construction in this newer kit. The legs especially could have been better, as the outer armor can be difficult to get to stay together, and the legs as a whole lack a lot of posability. Also a major downside as this kit lacks the usual master grade hands, instead settling for HG style swappable static hands.
   
   Still, on the upside, the finished kit does look good. It has an LED slot, and the lack of design complexity will probably make it another good kit for beginners.

   Verified Purchase

   Close, but no cigar This model is fairly good and still contains much of the MG quality you would expect. It even has an LED option! However, the model isn’t very poseable around the legs and the gun feels like almost early HG technology. I would definitely recommend picking up this kit, provided you’ve got some cement lying around.
