Bandai, I think it's about time we get an MG kit of this.

[@DemonR-hx6qd]

Bandai has honestly forgotten about mg like bro mg fans still exist

[@joeydahl9594]

I always loved the principality of zeon suits because they always gave a me a WWII German troop vibe. This guy is a really good example of that.

[@febcortes5878]

Well, Zeon itself is inspired by Nazi Germany so it makes perfect sense haha

[@ProffessorDESU]

The beam rifle looks like a Sturmgewehr and the launcher looks like a Panzerfaust. They really wanted to give it that SS feel lmao.

[@avsnewscast]

The stick grenades were also based off real grenades used by the Germans during WW2.

[@APioneerInTheSeaOfStars]

And the cuffs, and the Stahlhelm (helmet), and the insignia on the chest, and the black-green color tone. Very A E S T H E T I C.

[@odetojoy1663]

ProffessorDESU the Sturmfaust was always a part of Zeon weaponry

[@VincentWolf78]

to be honest, thats kinda what i like about this mobile suit.. i actually want to buy a few of these someday.

[@F95XM1]

Stielhandgranates were also used in WWI.

[@foughtwolf]

If anyones wondering, the front skirt can be seperated rather easily. Just take care with a hobby knife or scribe tool and it easily snaps in half.

[@uncletatscreativeshack1702]

I love this kit and need to add it to my collection! Even straight out of the box it looks great! Again, excellent video editing!

[@wheresyourcave3412]

The "Guard type" version is the best version

[@ZakuAurelius]

those shoulders are a bit much for me, not so much into the decorative look. I like the more realistic look of this one personally.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

the Geara Zulu's machine gun is based on the German StG-44 which was the first ever assault rifle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StG_44

[@pauljordan0203]

I have the same model kit as that one, and no matter how many times I kept looking at, it looks like an improved Zaku model, like a Mk IV.

[@Ark_kdhr]

This normal Kit hguc really good, thanks review man ☺👍👍

[@thelodbabyjaysus4163]

Dude this thing looks like it belongs in Wolfenstein!

[@gultorazhar471]

just in time when i want to buy this, nice review as usual zach!

[@matteotaddei7873]

This is a fantastic model and the head record the Geara Doga good job

[@JoeShoe1121]

i actually just picked up the gilboa sant version of this kit. Seriously one of the best looking zeon suits

[@AlexdadoofStudios]

Solid kit. I've got the Angelo Sauper use. :) Sleeve stickies *wop wop*

[@RitzScythe]

[@puckels]

Zulu's are all great kits, I really like my guards types and ep.7 rozen. Love the sturdiness of them and the look.

[@fryanne9750]

This MG is heavily needed, I just want the Guns and equipments

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

My favourite mobile suit. I have a small army of them, fully painted, with custom weaponry like the gatling shield from the Gouf Custom, missile pods from the Zaku F4, knives from the Zee Zulu, etc. Bandai needs to make an MG!

[@Reshiram_The_Fire_Dragon]

I think the zulu geara as the german soldier of the gundam universe

[@FebreGundam]

Looks pretty cool!

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

I'm building the Doven wolf UC ver. currently and despite I'm not a zeon fan, I really love the build and colors of the kit. The build is a bit more involve and feel refreshing, unlike the IBO and Revive line...those kits just feel very repetitive because the construction are pretty much the same. I really missed those older HGUC kits.

[@ZakuAurelius]

I love the HG Doven Wolf/ Silver Bullet so much! Such a solid kit with great articulation and loads of gimmicks/weapons.

[@DariusVladimirAuditore]

If I were to make a modification to this kit, I would put some spikes on the shoulder pad ... or buy the Guards Type variant.

[@matveicat5594]

Notch a piece of runner rod, glue to the base of the grip then sand flush is probably gonna be easier and come out nice and flush for extending the grip and should be pretty strong.

[@binkus.bonkus.2737]

mg/rg kit for this and also kshatriya would be great. Useful video, I'm looking for something to go with my RG Unicorn with a budget (£20)

[@jasonhorne9695]

Late to the party on this one, but Bandai makes a decal sheet for UC Unicorn 1/144 that I think has those helmet shield symbols: hlj.com/product/bann19606/Gun

[@ZakuAurelius]

oh badass! I hadn't noticed that on the sheet! Good eye! Thanks!

[@studiomagi]

First time I painted a kit, I painted white part silver and tubes metallic gold. >:3

[@ukopnauykgu3700]

Damn ! Zaku ii F2 still looks so gorgeous !

[@RitzScythe]

You should do, the Slide outro for Unboxings, the swing for OOb, and Monkey Bars for quick look! XD It's almost symbolic. Gundam/Gunpla fans never "grow up" or "grow out" of the hobby!

[@ZakuAurelius]

hah, it's playful and different yeah! That's why I thought it would be fun.

[@cissuperdroid]

So how bad are the "Sleeves" markings, and the white circles on the ankles to apply? I've really wanted a Zulu variant with the intention of having the appropriate markings, but I'm not sure how much of a hassle it is to apply them. To my knowledge, the markings are molded onto the kit correctly, so the stickers should be cut to fit them perfectly, yes? I hate "eyeballing" sticker placement...

[@Taytay0295]

The hguc efreet schneid is a unicorn kit so that'll be something to look forward to!

[@ZakuAurelius]

and got one more coming up next in between!

[@haze5420]

I love this suit. How well does this kit hold up?

[@Alxlpziv]

I want this to do a ww1 steampunk build

[@ZakuAurelius]

That would work well!

[@KehaarOneeSan]

Wow, I'm early... First time for everything.

[@kuroao4269]

i hope you also make a review for hg zee zulu sir

[@destayusli3147]

Can't wait for the master grade

[@ZakuAurelius]

Someday… someday

[@FunnyF0X3]

Fun fact: that assault rifle of the geara is based on the stg 44 german assault rifle

[@timoborgir]

usually i add some double tape when posing with hand weapon cause the hand isnt tight enough to hold it.

[@ZakuAurelius]

that's one method!

[@RReginaPhalange]

Are the white stickers around the wrist and chest raised or recessed? I might get this kit and rather paint than use the stickers.

[@ZakuAurelius]

the detail is raised there, so it would be easy to paint using a reverse-wash technique.

[@Lannes03]

Very Nice : ))) Still need to get Me One... or Three! : P

[@DreamhopMusic]

ringbell on ! :)

[@dragonoidmagnus837]

Beam Rifle appears to be based on the German STG-44.

[@anonymousli4204]

If you're going to get if an accurate depiction of how tall they are when compared to each other then you had better be sure that their legs are an equal distance apart

[@GameAndMusicNerd]

SWIVEL HERE!

[@stefilordofsmugness4108]

Zaku II FZ - bit looks like a fritz Geara Doga - looks more like a fritz Geara Zulu - literally a fing german soldier

[@kouuraki494]

I would kill for a master grade.

[@WaifuTrashWeeb]

Same

[@MuShinnen]

Watch it be a P-Bandai kit like the MG Hazel.

[@AFlyingEwok]

What color are the "sleeves" molded in? Are they at least black?

[@Corvoreviews]

same as the chest piece, not totally in black if I remember correctly, but on the good side: they also come with the sleeves carving done so you can do your own thing on it.

[@ZakuAurelius]

all black, but the detail is raised so it's easy enough to do a reverse wash.

[@user-lynKx]

The knees weirdly remind me of the nu Gundam

[@_Vegtio_72322]

I'm so damn dumb man. I keep reading "what does oob mean" I hear you say oob review and now I finally get what the hell it meant. I feel dumb, and I've watched many of the videos and just now I get what oob means :\

[@ZakuAurelius]

Lol, I actually kind of twisted the phrase. Traditionally in plastic models “out of box” means the kit is painted in original colors. But out of box seemed to me the best way to describe reviewing the kit exactly as it is straight out of the box 🤷‍♂️

[@_Vegtio_72322]

@@ZakuAurelius I mean it very well describes what it is. Its simply, out of box, put together and boom. So i say its got a very good ring to it. However if you happen to see this comment again are you possibly planning on reviewing the gouf custom in the future still? I have the kit personally and watched you're other gouf videos and man, it is one hell of a Gouf. I'm just genuinely excited if youbdo plan to review it. I'm a fan of watching reviews on kits I have, because sometimes you learn new things that you didn't know before with you're kits. Hence why I was hoping it would be

They keep reprint the guard type n angelo, im so disappointed with bandai

[@pkwm7969]

@@xcezz7979 I still want it tho but it’s very hard to find any of zulu kits

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

I don't mind if Bandai just create an RE with it though.

[@ZakuAurelius]

I'd be cool with that

[@cnoob]

Im building the same thing now. Haha. Did u use all the sticker?

[@ZakuAurelius]

for the review, yes. But I won't when I paint the kit.

[@squeaksqueakimaknight]

Why didn't you do the Guard type verison of the Geara Zulu?

[@ZakuAurelius]

why didn't YOU do the guards version?

[@squeaksqueakimaknight]

Because I already did

[@justinbrown9901]

MG Zulu where is it

[@itsrifahanif]

u could separate the front skirt without mod,just cut it as always, mine works :D

[@ZakuAurelius]

ah really? ok! I didn't remember I guess from building it. did you just saw that down the middle?

[@itsrifahanif]

yup, and make sure u got it straight on the center(or maybe if u got slightly off you can sand it little bit to free some articulation) ,be carefull tho :D

[@tomefilho3902]

👍 8,5/10

[@danslandevies8700]

Wehrmact Zaku Zulu.

[@vustvaleo8068]

so are you going to also review its aquatic variant, the Zee Zulu?

[@ZakuAurelius]

maybe someday, but I don't have one currently.

[@gunplaray2.085]

do you haveany plans to get the Zee Zulu. I know I do I love that version of the Zulu

[@ZakuAurelius]

no plans at the moment, but I'm sure I will someday.

[@kusanagi533d]

HGUC #122 is a much better looking version of this Zeon mobile suit.

[@g-maru8486]

its taller than the zaku ... interesting

[@ZakuAurelius]

much taller! than the F2 anyway~

[@7980910]

i think the legs are way too long,otherwise its a damn good HG

It’s a Katoki design 🤷‍♂️

I don't have it. I have the MG, which I plan to review someday since it's already snapped.

[@abp1400]

Jetfire48 The O! I love that bulky 4-armed bastard!

[@WaifuTrashWeeb]

@Jetfire You forgot the Hi-zack which will probably fit somewhere between the 2 and the 3. I would also add the Gouf, Gelgoog and Geara Doga in there. The Dom would proably be a side-upgrade from the Zaku 2.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

it almost has more stickers than plastic... /s

lol, it's not THAT bad

Wish they wouldve made this kit in MG. We serisously need more Unicorn MGs. (Kshatriya, Geara Zulu, Rozen Zulu, Barylant, Lodo, Stark Jegan, GM3)

[@cissuperdroid]

Did they even make any new molds for Unicorn MG's other than the Unicorn itself (and its variants)?
