HGUC 1/144 Zaku II FZ Review - Hobby Clubhouse | Gundam 0080 Gunpla and Model

[@retrogamer41_sepiamta]

This guy just reviewed a delicious Hamburger for Christmas. What a guy.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

The only hamburger to make me cry every Christmas

[@kelpedgamer]

What a guy.

[@JosephJoboLicayan]

Gihren: Hey engineer, could you improve the Zaku? Engineer: I can improve all stats and make it easier to build but the cockpit has to be a bright red. Gihren: .... but why? Engineer: TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. Gihren took the offer

[@HobbyClubhouse]

It certainly helped Christina aim her beam saber in the end...

[@bntrs]

Super well designed kit, it's dead simple to paint in the extra red since they're all sunken in and the articulation does the job decent enough. A little red gundam marker really brings out the detail and makes the kit punch well above its weight for a cheaper old kit. Only issue with mine is a seam across the top of the chest

[@elipse371]

Boy,I feel like having some hamburgers now,I don’t know why,just this gut feeling

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Christmas isn't Christmas without us mincing some hamburger meat

[@DeEvilBanana]

I just got this kit as a christmas gift hah Perfect timing clubhouse and great review as usual! This kit actually has some really really nice colour seperation and its also easy to paint

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Thank you:) the kit looks quite a bit better than the norm of its time. Someone really knew their stuff getting you the kit for Christmas...

[@ClampEEGEE]

If this kit only had a movable monoeye (and more hand options) it would be my favorite 1/144 Zaku kit, even with the revive existing. It's just so close to being perfect.

[@demonhand]

Color separation looks great on this kit! Thanks for leading me to this hidden gem.

[@seek3r]

Merry Christmas dude!!! Thanks for all the reviews and insights. Love all the detail info you have provided and looking forward to many more!!! 🎄❤️🎉

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas to you too! Hobby Clubhouse is in such a different place already since last Christmas (I think it was something near 300 subs). Glad there's more and more people like you enjoying the content a year later:)

[@teknonaught]

The obvious jokes aside, the Zaku 2 Kai holds up quite well even today, with articulation and things like the head sensor holding it back (as per the review). Now if only the HG Alex gets a revive. (And, Tristan too, the poor thing needs somewhat of a redemption lol) Also, early x-mas greetings from GMT+8 here!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Men of taste all remember the FZ's true name, the Zaku Ii Kai:) It really is a lovely kit that is still enjoyable today. I love the colors to no end And yes, the Alex needs an update, or at least an upgrade to 1.5. An RG wouldn't be half bad either Merry Christmas to you too! I timed it for Australia hitting Christmas, so it probably isn't past 12 yet for most places including where I am actually...

[@neet2083]

Can't wait for my local shop to have this in stock from the pre order! Merry Christmas!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas! They really do need to restock this guy way more often along with the other 0080 kits like the GM Command

[@beiget4706]

Merry HGUC Christmas! this is a true gift, you managed to go through all the seamlines ( next up, nubmarks /jk ). I'm a grown man, but I swear I didn't cry, although I never would have bothered to pick this kit up, if not for the backstory. With it's avocado theme, and curry pipes. The build was a hidden gem despite being the most barebone zaku, probably next only to the 80s kits - Pretty glad I managed to snag it at exactly box listed price just before pandemic (and the new pricing math - directly proportional to Bandai's new interpretation of 1/144 scale). I am always looking forward to more of these old kit reviews - regardless of whether I have or not have, or have a small private army of them.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

You're made of much stronger stuff than me. I sob even having watched it so many times... But man is this kit charming. If you pose it it kind of gives away its age a bit, but it's a cut above its peers from the same time. I think if I don't go back to actual Gundam models soon, there'll be a pitchfork mob before long:)

[@tetsujin_144]

3:41 - "There's this open palm right hand" That is a left hand "The only left hand we get is this trigger finger hand" That is a right hand

[@raditz197megatron92]

"which is very strange" ... true.

[@StudioHappyboy]

We call this one “The Hamburger Helper”

[@scrapyarddragon]

bought this thing on a lark as my first kit. he is a funny dude vibing on my shelf. have never watched an episode of gundamn but i just think the zakus look cool so I wanted one.

[@ralfsstuff]

Great detail on this guy for an 08 kit.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

He really is a cut above his peers from the same time

[@thewannabeweeb]

Merry Christmas! This kit was as lovely as ever and actually made me consider buying this kit cause build really does seem quite nice and the articulation won't bother me as I've realized when I was playing around with my Zaku II FS so I'll definitely be looking out for the kit in the future aswell as the NT-1

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas! You really can feel that the designers loved this kit when you have it in your hand and see the color separation, especially when you see the norm from 2008 really aren't as excellent

[@Ranalcus]

0080 War in the Pocket is great Christmas series For all the Hamburger lovers

[@HobbyClubhouse]

The true Christmas food for UC Gundam fans

[@aestheticusername.7210]

Merry Christmas(or Christmas Eve)! Love your review, can't wait to see what comes out next. Keep up your great work!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas! Working on more stuff for this holiday:)

[@maaarrlonn]

happy holidays and happy new year my friend ! i know im a little late but i'm glad to be back to support your amazing work as always

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Happy holidays and a great 2022 to you too! You're never late my man:) Always glad to see you

[@patrickkelly8344]

Merry Christmas! It turned 12:00 just before you uploaded, coincidence?

[@HobbyClubhouse]

It isn't a coincidence:) I timed it for the first places to hit Christmas, so Merry Christmas;

[@DesGardius-me7gf]

Thinking of making a diorama of the final scene of Gundam 0080 with this kit.

[@UselessFox224]

Well, my friend got me an HGUC Alex for Xmas, so i guess I have to get this kit next Also Fun fact: in the novelization of 0080 Bernie doesn't turn into hamburger man, he survives.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Hm, I didn't know about the different ending. I wonder what happens then since he lives...

[@UselessFox224]

@@HobbyClubhouse neither do I, now I'm really interested into knowing where I could read it

[@obediahabisua2962]

I wonder if I can use the extra parts from my goufs to make the eye swivel

[@Brawler_1337]

A word of warning: I separated the grenades on mine, and after that two of them became so loose that they wouldn’t stay on. I used a little bit of some waxy adhesive (don’t remember what) in order to get them to stay without having them be permanently stuck in place.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

So it seems Bandai counted on the collective friction of all three of them to stay up...

[@Brawler_1337]

@ Probably. It’s a decently easy fix, at least.

[@paolovillanuevamd]

Merry Christmas dude!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas to you too 🎄!

[@riceboycruz1300]

Merry Christmas

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas! (Though it probably isn't Christmas yet in most places...)

[@RagingRobo]

Fun fact it’s machine gun is out of scale I swapped mine out with the Rick dom II it’s machine gun is the exact same model but IN SCALE

[@elijahsstudio1109]

Bro didn’t even put the mono eye sticker….

[@EpicHotCheese]

I've been looking for this and the HG Kampfer, I have no idea where and how to find them.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

The one I have here I picked up maybe around November last year, so Bandai hasn't reprinted them recently The Kampfer they did reprint a few months back, but they got picked clean immediately where I am Gundam models are like rare gems nowadays...

[@muffintosay5125]

marry crhistmas!!!! and what a way to celebrate.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Merry Christmas to you too! It's everyone's favorite(?) Christmas story

[@tetsujin_144]

6:21 - "This is the only kit where you can get this version of the gun" Not quite. Rick Dom II has it. The one with the FZ is better though.

[@michaeljohnsingun1616]

Right on time for buger holidays

[@HobbyClubhouse]

We even mince our own meat

[@michaeljohnsingun1616]

Happy Holidays with all the meat

[@petrusdimitrilarantukan7678]

Can you review the hguc alex too

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I think I'd like that too when they reprint it

[@Peweskimooxy]

Ah, the HGUC FZ :)

[@IniOny]

why you never put the sticker on??

[@ryloc7567]

Why did you have to include that final clip T_T

[@cakebake4211]

there is one other kit with this same gun it's molded in a different color ... pbandai type-b unicorn version, technically the same - but still a different kit

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Technically correct - the best kind of correct

[@barrybb5409]

The rick dom 2 has the same mg but no grenade attachment.

[@Softbirb]

I really wanna modify the original alex to modernize it with modern joints

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I bet it plays quite nicely with joints from something like the GM II/III

[@Jan_Iedema]

Zaku’s look so dead inside without their mono-eye. It makes me feel kinda sad for them

[@hangar_21]

Make new videos pls ..

[@beefueater4586]

Darn. I'm in the mood for hamburgers now...

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Your user name sure fits that statement (as long as it's really beef...)

[@felicitations372]

Rip Bernie, rest in hamburgers

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Dem feels...

[@razrafz]

did they just made it better than the Alex? the designers really have their priorities right

[@HobbyClubhouse]

It really is particularly good among the 0080 kits. It's not just the Alex that has gotten quite old

[@razrafz]

at least the zaku got shoulder movements. the Alex just comes with dead pegs, which inevitably among what makes the tristan so awful

[@MasterSwo]

I hate this thing, it reminds me of... Bernie. It took me months to be able to stomach Burgers again.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Makes me so sad every time I watch the animation, even though I've watched it so many times already

[@MasterSwo]

@@HobbyClubhouse He was to good for the likes of Zeon.

I watched the animation from when I was a teenager to when I'm a grown man now and I still cry
