949 - MG Psycho Zaku Ver.Ka (OOB Review Pt.1)

[@robertnewman4854]

The irony of this kit is that Daryl couldn't build it...

[@thomas_mafty_haha]

Oof

[@umbrolly3725]

Brutal

[@Gundam_mug_liker]

For a guy named zaku king he cannot build a mobile suit that is a zaku

[@Gajenzask]

This was my first MG ever, and boy this Zaku is glorious.

[@4cheech]

I totally agree, boss zaku. Those Hi-mob mini leg rings are a bitch to install. For J. Ridden and this one, you can skip those tiny leg rings cuz there is an armor covering em.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Right, I should have skipped them :(

[@gundamfan2020]

there is a lot of love for this zaku with kit varients plus comes with a base so that's wicked. I'd happily pay another few quid per kit if display stands were to be included in say master grades and real grades. really like the zaku over thunderbolt to be honest

[@DZMaven]

So... Ringlets or plastic covers for the cables? Preference as a modeler?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Just personal preference.

[@KinguCurimson]

I love the look of this kit, but that's probably just my bias towards Thunderbolt also ZACK SAID BITCH

[@kiu9521]

woah woah woah woah, I've been wishing for the kit's review!

[@TekkaSage]

Mine should be arriving in a few days. HLJ included bonus decals for the initial release. Can't wait to see how they look.

[@goos4711]

Been waiting for him to come out all year.

[@anyothernamelikemashugana2532]

even on the zaku 2 2.0 the leg cables easilly pop off

[@thomaskok5773]

not really, i had built 4 of it and show no such issue

[@RogueGouf]

in love with this kit already and ENGLISH! !!!

[@jkdia007]

how do you clear the nubs and the excess plastic line things with the kit still looking pristine? it looks so good, it doesnt look like something you sanded >.< what sorcery is this? also, happy holdays to everybody!

[@AFlyingEwok]

Those pipes on MG Zakus are the bane of my existance. If I ever do another, I am gonna try metal parts. At least they don't require making plastic sushi to use.

[@sealkaijugang8868]

i keep flexing in my zoom meatings with the most expensive kit i have

[@givonmarclara]

Merry Christmas Zack!!

[@MD3DCollections]

Another excellent Review!

[@ZakuAurelius]

thanks!

[@MD3DCollections]

I thank you! Your reviews and tutorials has helped me a lot since I started in the hobby 3 years ago.

[@ExcieXC]

Have a good xmas Zach :)

[@ZakuAurelius]

thank you! you, too!

[@grant666uk]

Got mine from Banzai hobby. Arrived in Scotland the same day it came out in Japan. Oh and customs free.

[@Cirac1]

... I kinda hate you! 54 quid from Japan plus customs or 100 without. Had to put it off for Christmas, but hopefully my birthday might get some Zaku love

[@grant666uk]

Mine was marked £10 in yen and even though the box is the size of a small house it got through, Came to £68 all in with three day shipping.

[@Cirac1]

Don't care how long it takes - went onto the website and now shall be leaving the webpage open suggestively for the misses to see! :p

[@fightinghotdogezx201]

Is the white outline on the shoulder a sticker or it's own piece?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Separate piece

[@fightinghotdogezx201]

Thanks 😃

[@jetset102]

Man with The backpack u can so totally make a Custom White Glint Gundam to give a shout out to Armoured Core 4 answer

[@Errorcutive]

Blerim Kamberi Vanguard Over Boost, AKA Let strap a Rocket from nasa to an MS cos it gotta go fast.

[@cadeatx6698]

I love how this kit looks ( and the show was pretty sick as a UC add ) but the backpack is a bit of a turn off for me ( only because of shelf room) But man I have been Eyeballing the Kampfer for awhile. Great work as always and I'm excited to see how your big Zaku comes out.

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

Kampfer is an older kit but still good.

[@Whos.Who.]

How tall is the zaku in cm built? Thanks!

[@turkeyking1342]

I wonder too!!!

[@topherhaze9493]

awesome work bud

[@ZakuAurelius]

thanks!

[@shimon3259]

What about the monoeye?

[@vittoriomiguelocampo7127]

Does it still look good if you don't use the plastic cover?

[@clementtoh2393]

Hi I'm gonna build this. Is there any warning for me?

[@tayarpanaskimi]

What is your opinion if i topcoat this kit with top coat flat?

[@mrbillones]

question about the cockpit, does it have a sliding cockpit? similar to char zaku 2.0? many thanks and merry Christmas! :)

[@ZakuAurelius]

yep!

[@dol_mel7487]

Pretty meat how they painted the gold parts

[@yuboikai1646]

Is this for sail

[@zaccwalker3098]

I'm not a zaku guy, but this kit looks amazing.

[@ZakuAurelius]

I am a Zaku guy! But honestly this isn't one of my favorite Zaku designs~ but building this MG is making me like it more~ (more so than the HG did)

[@rodrigosoares972]

Part 2??

[@Old_Machine_Spirit]

I want this model bad, but HLJ's 60$ shipping cost to "Murica is giving me headaches...and their American Affiliates may not carry it until February.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Bummer dude! Yeah, I wish HLJ offered cheaper shipping options, but then I guess you may be waiting til February for the package anyway! haha

[@xeslayer102]

Just use Amazon

[@Old_Machine_Spirit]

@Xeslayer102 Amazon will only have at on February and is about 110$ vs HobbyLinc's 90$ and will also launch on the same month.

[@dol_mel7487]

the thing is hobby link japan you should order other things than just that

[@Benjidesuka]

why not live steam on twitch?

[@ZakuAurelius]

I've thought about it and it's been suggested to me a number of times. Someday I'll try it.

[@kylematthew5342]

Hay have a question it been a long time sense I used a mark softer do I apply it before or after I put on the decal sorry know it's a dumb question but it's been years sense I used it

[@xeslayer102]

Did you paint this

[@ZakuAurelius]

no~ not yet

[@CarrotChronicles]

How about how wide the legs can go? You glossed over that

[@hrossman7272]

CarrotChronicles up on the action base it looks like it goes pretty wide.

[@FahlRathe]

I think the hands are big on this one compared to most, but when you attach the Backpack they'll look a lot better

[@itsrifahanif]

shit i definitely will buy this if i can afford it, i think it will be great aerial poser kit...can wait for the part 2 sir!

[@jaehoonchoi8734]

nice review! (subscribed!)

[@burningwater1817]

What a coincidence, i search up what does gundam ver ka mean and i get a notifaction saying that you've uploaded a new video on a Ver ka model.

[@burningwater1817]

Btw what does ver ka mean?

[@dizzyoru]

BurningWater18 Gundam kits that are ver.ka means that they were produced by Hajime Katoki.

[@burningwater1817]

The Curry thanks!

[@solomonpark7925]

ver ka= version katoki

[@aquarium_lad8817]

zach merry christmas😀

[@ZakuAurelius]

Merry Christmas!

[@TekkaSage]

They really botched the pipes. The original model they were showing off looked like you were going to get then molded but what we got was a disaster for the piping covers.

[@amirmisnan6211]

😊😊

[@dionicius03]

yup, not gonna use those tubes, rather smack on some metal pipes and spikes..

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

Me too.

[@pazuzurising]

I can't make that hose material work

[@jeffurakee6752]

just bought this shit, the leg joints with the waist is lose af!!! no way to put it together!!! help!!!

[@ZakuAurelius]

the leg is definitely heavy and gets weighed down, but I haven't heard of anyone complaining it's that loose.

[@jeffurakee6752]

ZakuAurelius my dumb ass didn’t put the legs all the way in lol. It’s fine now problem solved

[@humorss]

wow your fast, this is a huge kit the garbage bags on thunderbolt kit is really bad..

[@keandelacruz382]

Dude it means ur a bad builder

[@weedwagon]

kean dela cruz XD IKR XDD

[@mvs-wg5ol]

kean dela cruz yeah because someone has an opinion that means hes a bad builder.

[@gerubax]

Wah

[@sharpido31]

Am I the only one whos legs on this unit are VERY loose? Its literally unmanageable because they fall out out at the waist. Did I somehow miss a step that makes them tighter some how?

[@ZakuAurelius]

i would guess you don't have the pegs plugged all the way into the hip. they're really tight so you've gotta push them in (carefully) pretty hard

[@sharpido31]

@@ZakuAurelius this doesnt seem to be the case. ive pushed these fuckers in as far as they go. but with any forced applied at all they slide right out

[@trunkvd1628]

I like this one more when it doesn't have that giant backpack

[@zyan554]

noice.

[@ThatReviewerGamer]

heh he said bitch, I like when people swear it seems more genuine to me.

[@ZakuAurelius]

lol, i only really swear a lot when I'm with old buddies or when I'm playing Mariokart

[@keandelacruz382]

dude reuse psycho device means it has already been used in a battle

[@wasdwazd]

ringssss

[@cameronkado5746]

I really hate the garbage bags on the MG kit! they did it better with the HG one this kit is a big nope for me

[@murderface15g13]

I hate the white trim.

[@gunplafan9891]

Your hands aren't even that big that cockpit is ridiculous 😯

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

Those hose and joint covers are horrible and do not look good at all. What were they thinking? Lovely kit otherwise.

[@homersimpson5391]

Ugly kit... Still gonna stick on wing series

[@557deadpool]

do you need the covers for the joints, because I'd prefer to not use those at all.

[@ZakuAurelius]

557deadpool nope! Don’t need them! You can check out my completed painted kit in my “Completed Builds” playlist! For the hoses though, they’ll be bare without the covers. I used hose parts from another kit.
