Bandai Hobby HGAC Wing Gundam Zero Model Kit (1/144 Scale)

A lot of this is speaking from nostalgia but wow what a great kit! Man I remember the first time I watched Gundam Wing back when I was a kid on Toonami, and boy did that blow my mind! Never before did I see a cartoon like Gundam Wing before and that series is what started my crazy passion for collecting Gundam model kits. As a kid back in the early 2,000s I collected most of the Gundam Wing kits that were available at my local Wal Mart, and I gota that they were for the most part garbage. It is that reason that it just blows my mind to see how far Bandai has come with their HG line of model kits, and the HG Proto Zero is a great example of that. I purchased the kit for 18 dollars and just like the other all Gundam project kits, you get your bang for your buck. The kit is a transformable model and just like the Wing Gundam is very easy to transform and looks great in its bird mode. The kit comes with the iconic double buster rifles that does separate, two beam swords, and shield. The kit like most modern day kits is very flexible and therefore able to achieve a wide range of posses. Another plus withe this kit is the color separation, glad to see Bandai didn't cheap out in us by replacing colored parts with stickers. The kit just looks fantastic out of the box, the only thing I recommend you do is use a lining marker to line to line the kit up. Really makes your kit pop. All in all a fantastic kit for the price I would ideally give it a 4.5 out 5, but since that option isn't available on Amazon I just rounded that up to a five. My only gripe with the kit)and it might just be with mine) is that the arms fall off quite easily. However I used a tinny bit of glue on the arm ball joints, just to make it sticky and now the arms stay on just fine. Just get the kit you won't be sorry! Especially if your a Gundam Wing fan!

It was an awesome price for an awesome item. Enjoyed putting it together.

Kudos to you Bandai, and your genius. I won't lie, I was a little apprehensive when buying this as it has... Well, WINGS, and if you've ever built a Gundam with wings you know it can sometimes be the death of the kit. However I think everyone will be pleased when I say, this Kit is near perfect much like its Nataku counterpart. Articulation= From the get-go the head is capable of looking up around 120 degrees, and down just the same, allowing it for more head movement than most Kits. The torso has an ab-crunch which does also work better than most Kits, but still is not the most. The shoulders have a special ButterFly joint which allows it to come out and have the kit be able to... TOUCH THE OTHER SHOULDER! Something not very much seen in Kits of this scale, while also allowing for an almost 180 bend in the elbow, great hand motion, as well as the shoulder pads opening up in order to reveal Thrusters within them! The legs are able to move forward just under 90 degrees, an almost perfect 180 knee-bend for that Knee-To-Chest action. The feet have a decent enough swivel, while uniquely the back panel of the calves can open up to allow for the foot to point down more(and this function also comes with the transformation). The wings, well they have some weight to them, but not enough to bog down the Kit, and can move just about every-which-way ya want them to, making for some pretty nice poses from this Kit. Transformation= As you might expect, this Kit is a bit of a Parts-Former, but only truly to the point of you needing to swap the feet out in order to get them into Bird Mode. The rest of the transformation simply requires you swiveling and twisting some parts around. Accessories= 2X Buster Rifles 2X Beam Sabres 1X Shield 2X Bird Mode Feet Posing= The posing is great. The Kit actually does not have all that much weight to it, even with the wings. The only complaint I have is that the shield can be slightly cumbersome, and make it a little difficult to pose, however despite this, it is a great Kit. Verdict= From the build to the poses, you'll be pleased. The colors are great, the build is great, the kit is great, posing. Great. IF you are a fan of this Gundam, there is no reason to not get this Kit.

Lots of pieces

It was fun putting this model together. The only issue I have is that the beam saber blades were slightly bent, and it is impossible to get them straight.

This one took some time to build (for me), but in the end it was all worth it. It's very sturdy and holds up on it's own very well. One thing I love about this is that you can combine both the Buster Rifle halves into one, which looks very cool. One thing I will say is that be careful when building the shoulder armor and assembling the wings. The reason is because those parts have hinges on certain pieces, and when you piece them together, the hinges will drag down instead of staying in place. If not careful, you could break the hinges off and render the model useless, or rather incomplete. I say this because I experienced that heart stopping moment TWICE when I built this. As I was piecing together the shoulder armor and wings, that problem I just mentioned started to happen. So take time and BE CAREFUL when assembling those parts. Articulation is great, though the feet can't swivel as much due to the armor on the legs, but it's not that big of a deal. And for those who are wondering, yes this can turn into the Neo Bird form, and it looks majestic. Overall, a great build and the finished product is amazing. A great add to any collection if you're a fan of the Gundam franchise.

I enjoyed putting it together, remember to buy a stand apart to make it even better 🫶🏻

Chegou direitinho, bem embalado e...Cara! Eu vou te dizer! Sabe aquela sensação de conquista de infância! Esse foi o sentimento que tive ao adquirir esse Gundam. O primeiro de muito, com certeza. Quando eu era mlk era muito difícil conseguir um, hoje, trabalhando e ganhando bem, é bom poder realizar os sonhos de minha infância. Sobre o produto, apesar do manual em Japonês, é muito fácil de entender e montar, ainda mais que comprei o kit de montagem tbm, então ficou mais tranquilo ainda, mas não é extremamente necessário. As peças montam com facilidade e se precisar desmontar, não fica "molenga" ou "despencando". O boneco é firme e dá pra deixar em um montão de poses de ação. Muito maneira essa aquisição. Eu estou muito contente.

Ich hatte es als Geburtstagsgeschenk für mein Patenkind (8 Jahre) gekauft. Er hat nach dem Auspacken direkt mit dem Aufbau begonnen und hat bis heute viel Spaß damit
