1/144 HGUC Zaku III Custom [Mashymre Custom] Review

[@aleronhawk]

Zaku III is as bulky as Zaku III. okayyy nice one there mate

[@kakarot197]

I'm back from Japan in Belgium since Monday. Took care of some administrative stuff for the beginning of my Masters Degree, so I'll now get back to working full speed on new content (stuff about Japan, reviews, lore and more) Japan was awesome, but it's also good to back home :D

[@ME-kx9od]

Kakarot197 Hope you get the Master's Degree, man. I'm going through something similar too. Best of wishes.

[@brig.badger2896]

Kakarot197 good luck on your masters. Can't wait to see what's next

[@dol_mel7487]

The zaku 3 needs a revive badly....

[@black0ut5598]

Jetfire48 I'd certainly buy one if it did!

[@xSkye629x]

No no no no no It needs a MG :D

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

Patience grasshopper. Let's start with something small before going for something big. Imagine how awesome a hg version of this with the technology bandai has now

[@strikers820]

Agreed even though I’ve collected One Year War Zeon HGs having a Zaku 3 would be awesome. Particularly the custom one.

[@fishpop]

The Guncannon & Hyaku-Shiki got Revives so should the Zaku 3. Although since they didn't bother with making a new mold for the Twilight Axis Zaku 3; it's unlikely to get one. :(

"The biggest back skirt I've ever seen!" *cough*Nightingale*cough*

[@teslashark]

Baund Doc.

[@gmsloep]

I actually looked it up and wow, you weren't kidding about the green one being the third HGUC ever. I happen to have a copy of the second ever HGUC (the old version of the Gyan, which has terrible elbow joints that are compatible with the HGFA Endless Waltz kits since they're the same polycap) and this is impressing me more than my Gyan.

[@Arrowdodger]

I like the Mass Production model more in most respects, but the custom has a nicer beam rifle, arguably. Then again, bayonets are cool, hmm.

[@justinjacobs1501]

Having owned both, I can say that the MP is the best of the two tanks to it's less restrictive back skirt and I personally adore it's color scheme and backpack.

[@oniarmoury]

Now you just need the Zaku III from Twilight Axis and you can do a comparison with the Zaku III to see how big it really is.

[@primusvsunicron1]

Ya de? And Char's Zaku I and Char's Zaku II

[@oniarmoury]

vice turbo i know, just wanted to add to the sarcasm he had at 11:08 lol

[@teslashark]

It's supposed to have a different back skirt, which is even longer...

[@Huildnotreal]

Funny, I just watched a bunch of Zaku III reviews on youtube and then this was unloaded on the same day. What a coincidence

[@xSkye629x]

Watched solely to see that ending comparison haha

[@juandelata]

I'M STILL WAITING FOR A REVIVE OF THIS

[@maskedbrobotdubs4741]

This guy is a freakin beast in srw x. Only two attacks though(Beam Rifle and Psycho Power),but they're so satisfyingly effective that i dont think it matters.

[@primusvsunicron1]

Green looks really really good on the Zaku III

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

I always think that green is the Zaku's color, just like how blue, red, white and yellow are to the original Gundam

[@wesker919]

Just saw this at my local hobby store. But it had a fancy new Blue logo.

[@justinjacobs1501]

I'm currently building the Production type. I plan on painting it the same colors it is out of the box, but metallic. Still trying to decide if I want to just use the monoeye sticker though...

[@kakarot197]

+Justin Jacobs if you're going for a shiny metallic build, consider using a small swarovski crystal for the monoeye. You can get all kinds of colors and they're only a few bucks for a bag of 30

[@dol_mel7487]

Why dies the zaku 3 custom look as if it was the original mass production type?

[@classicalthrasher]

Arrived yesterday along the two HG Gaza Cs, of course not yet built, but is already a favorite-from 1999! I may still get the "regular" Zaku III later regardless. Thanks so much for highlighting this old but awesome Zaku design-especially since Inl doubt it will ever see a Revive version. (To be honest-and I love the Silver Bullet-I prefer this Zaku III to the Döven Wolf.)

[@vgunnerping7274]

It's kinda funny to think about the Zaku III is more advance then the Zaku III kai in model kit forme:P

[@xenowreborn]

"Here you can see JUST how massive the Zaku III is, because it's just as massive, as the Zaku III" Kakarot...you are very funny

[@kagephenex]

Zaku-III-Ception XD. And i just realised that both the Zaku III and the GM III are bulkier versions of their originals (Zaku I/II and Gm I/II)

[@teslashark]

GM III is just the GM II with Mark II's limbs.

[@Dadified86]

I couldn’t find your review of the 3rd Zaku III (the one from Twilight Axis). I’m mostly interested in what extra parts it comes with over these. Thanks!

[@danielchew8739]

I'm not sure its fair to said the Zaku III outperform the Doven Wolf, because if I not remembering wrong, Mashymre is piloting a custom mobile suit and is a cyber newtype.

[@kakarot197]

It's been a while since I've seen ZZ but I think that part of the reason that the Zaku III can outperform the Doven Wolf is that the Zaku III is more agile, whereas the Doven Wolf is more of a walking/floating arsenal.

[@danielchew8739]

Fair enough, to add to what you said, the Zaku III seems to be more adaptable with modular skirts and backpack add on.

[@justinjacobs1501]

Pretty much. The Zaku 3 was meant to easily conform to specific roles so it does better when outfitted for specific tasks than the D Wolf which was built to simply perform well across the board.

[@Courier-gq6ym]

Justin Jacobs wrong, the Zaku III could be given anything and it'd work, while the Doven was completely dominated in CQC.

[@jdesantiago100895]

A L W A Y S B U L K Y

[@thornestark4521]

Gundam lore what became of the 4th zaku 2 high mobilety type r2

[@ME-kx9od]

Kakarot, could you do more HG Iron Blooded Orphans reviews?

[@allbluedream]

You'd think that Twilight Axis is the perfect opportunity for Bandai to update the Zaku III design. Welp

[@justinjacobs1501]

"Update" means "P-Bandai" in Japanese.

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

I'd buy it if it incorporates the latest bandai technology and not some re-color of the same Zaku III Kai

[@mjpMALIK]

old hg really shiny

[@daffaarsya8165]

jerry pratama i thing that i dont like about old hg kits, but that thing is easy to fix tho

[@stylerunner2959]

I didn't like the Zaku III till now, seeing it displayed instead if animated changed my mind.

[@Arrowdodger]

that happens sometimes for me. The 0 Gundam, for instance, looked kinda crummy in 00 Gundam, but it's a fantastic model kit

[@Bocalt]

Still hoping for a reborn 1/ 100

[@SicMetalMaggot4life]

I can't be the only one who thinks that the Custom and the Mass Production's colours are backwards. I mean, the Zaku I and II were both green, yet the III is...grey...and, while I'm at it, wouldn't this sort of be more like the Zaku IV or Zaku V, or do the Hizack and Marasai not count?

[@teslashark]

Yeah. The Marasai is more proper as a real Zaku III.

[@Courier-gq6ym]

Marasai's aren't zaku's, thats the same as calling ford Falcon the ford Mustang 1994. Unless it's called Zaku, there's no reason to change the Zaku III's name. Edit: besides, the Hizack was a federation design and the Marasai was a titans suit.

[@DevasiaMotion]

did no one else hear feedback throughout the video?

[@kakarot197]

Feedback as in static/buzzing?

[@DevasiaMotion]

yeah it starts at around 1:50 At first I thought my speakers were acting up, but I'm hearing the same thing on the TV, so it's definitely the video

[@kakarot197]

That is indeed something very strange that happened with my mic. Currently I hope that it was interference from my phone that was maybe too close. If this issue persist then my still relatively new mic already broke down. So should you hear it again, no matter how faint, please do mention it.

[@masterkent1]

Yeah but u forgot to ask if it also as always bulky as zaku 3

[@juandelata]

I'm still waiting for a revive of this

[@adudewholikesgunpla]

Real grade zaku iii please.

[@AceKylar]

False! You buy zaku 3 to worship Haman sama!!

[@jeru_jj1161]

Hands look kinga awful. It looks like there should be one more piece between them and arms.

[@ORLY911]

herd u like zaku III

[@idksomerandomchannel5959]

"The biggest back skirt I've ever seen!" Neo zeong: am I a joke to you?

[@pheonix_soldier]

Its as massive as the Zaku iii. 😂

[@畑茶-b3n]

ちょっぴり腰の関節がタイトなのよねこの子

[@chubz8969]

my god is it ugly. i never was a fan of some of the MS proportions, but the feet on the zaku 3 are just plain redicolous.

[@dol_mel7487]

ChubZ Ridiculous? Not really.... Also the azku 3's proportions aren't exactly correct

[@idksomerandomchannel5959]
