MG FAZZ Ver.Ka - Gundam Sentinel (Review)

[@vustvaleo8068]

Sentinel kits having limited articulation is sort of acceptable because of the in-universe fiction, the Mobile Suits of Sentinel are treated more as a "weaponized space shuttles with arms and legs" than a humanoid robot capable of pulling kung-fu moves, lol.

[@Frolaire]

if I remember right the FAZZ was used as a mobile battleship gun too in Sentinel

[@corbingarrison7167]

That and the FAZZ in sentinel can’t transform in universe

[@suloea]

@@Frolaire and all 3 FAZZ got slaugthed by a gundam mk v in melee

[@chakgy]

You can take MG FA Gundam Thunderbolt left over PC-6 (They use same PC) for Normal ZZ Head.

[@TimBajeena]

Thanks for that info!

it looks so good i love the zz in fazz colours i know the fazz is a variant of the zz but still

[@RevanR]

Damn boi he thicc! This kit is really rise up bar for master grade

[@GuntanksInSpace]

This kit is amazingly beefy. Gonna get it eventually as soon as I find space for it...

[@elchito3]

Hey, you beat Mecha this time on the review. Want expecting that.

[@Roaddbuster]

Now to see how much he'll complain about the articulation xD

[@Jirujan]

@@Roaddbuster yeah, he will complain a lot about the articulation

[@1983Corolla]

@@Roaddbuster "Every limb can't do a complete full bend, kit is trash"

[@Roaddbuster]

@@1983Corolla Well, given the way the armour basically blocks all the important parts of articulation, this guy is basically a brick. I mean, considering how far the engineering has come for new gunpla kits, you'd think Bandai's Engineers would fix these problems or at least tweak the original so it can have better articulation like what they did to the Alex 2.0 or the 1.5 Dom frame that they used for the Dwadge :/

[@wesker919]

He beats mecha on a lot of things.

[@saabastiana4111]

Really love the blue-purple on this

[@keithkeith293]

Much more detailed than my MG ZZ Full Armor. Of course mine isn't a Ver Ka sooo... Might have to invest in this. I built the original of this back in 02 and was really impressed with it. Great vid Zack!

[@Mythicalmage]

Those might be my favorite feet of any kit, ever. So sharp and pointy!

[@adwinz6225]

The G3 color is great, and the fact that gundam sentinel master grade are reproduce again maybe means that the novel gonna get a series or a movie. Forgive my grammar.

[@leolied6766]

I hope for a Zeta Plus C1 and A1 2.0

[@danielludwig647]

I wish! I think the problem right now is that Model Graphix magazine (the one where Sentinel was first published as a photonovel) still owns the rights to the story/characters, while Bandai only owns the mecha designs. But maybe someday they could come to some agreement.

[@EvA1_Anahein]

Is it weird that i like the ZZ gundam in the gray color scheme rather than the original colors.

[@leolied6766]

No man. I personally liked the FAZZ colors compare to the original toyish colors of the Full armor ZZ TV ver.

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

I much prefer the colors like this. I wish we get more Gundam series that has the main suit with more military colors.

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

Not really. ZZ Gundam looked like a Super Robot with its original colors.

[@rue-mell5856]

I like the head design for this kit

[@somechinesedude5466]

Boy, its a beautiful brick

[@antonjavierdizon959]

Waiting for mine to arrive. It's gonna look great beside/close to my regular ZZ Ver.Ka. *remembers my backlog of three MG kits* Err... putting it together might take a while I guess...

[@poipoi9816]

Appearance wise this is absurdly cool, but maaan that price tag

[@raihan1647]

Ngl, fazz color scheme is much better than the original zz

[@fishpop]

The articulation of the cannon makes it look like it could be used as the left arm of a custom Gunpla. Maybe for one meant to be the Decepticon; Shockwave. It even has his signature cable for his gun arm.

[@cyf1434568100]

I just can’t get over the fact that there are so many left over unusable pieces which add up to the price of this kit.

[@caseyjones8246]

Zak, that white Front skirt flap does have forward articulation. They show it in pictures as a gimmick. Check the manual.

[@rathboy1280]

Bagged this one already and definitely worth it. it will work better if you repaint this kit more gray on its white parts. Now im just hoping that Bandai will release actual MG Zeta Hummingbird and RE 100 MkV so i can complete the whole series.

[@corbingarrison7167]

About that MKV…

[@robertmurphy3771]

I'm imagining that beast with the high mobility backpack

[@Illsteir]

Hey zaku any mg kit I should get from the gundam store especially with your code. I got the unicorn and that’s it

[@AlvinREDDELTA]

yum yum time for paint this in color navy blue and dark blue sort of

[@ZDALI14]

Should I pick up a fazz if I wanted to have an enhanced ZZ gundam?

[@MrGrandure]

I'm debating if getting this to replace my old school fazz is worth it...

[@JericoLeslie]

If the actionbase can talk it would say "Just fucking end my suffering!"

[@peytonbloom4123]

Really would like to see someone do a proper comparison between the original MG FAZZ and the new MG Fazz Ver. Ka. So far I haven't found any good reviews of the original mg fazz.

[@screaminlife32]

Try jabman025 for the original FAZZ

[@CheeseandCrackers234]

schizophonic9.com/re5/mg_fazzverka.html It's a photo review only but still a good comparison.

[@ronodenthal100]

I see it has all the parts needed to make the backpack like normal for dual missile launchers, but does it have enough parts to make two cannons as well?

[@aethansantos8989]

Gustav karl and double . ZZ combined right

[@Telon1984]

Can you build a color variation of the Full Armor ZZ gundam with all the extra parts?

[@brianlyers7484]

I don't know if you said it and I missed it but can it transform into g-fortress?

[@ZDALI14]

You gotta pose it like a bazooka

[@sajikun101]

How is this related to the MG ZZ Gundam Ver.Ka? I already have this FAZZ, so would buying the older ZZ as well be like having two of the same kit?

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

This is a kit of an MS that is the testbed for the new additional armaments and armor of the Enhanced ZZ seen in Gundam Sentinel. ZZ Gundam Ver.Ka is a kit of the titular mobile suit seen in Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam.

[@sajikun101]

@@mechalinkergaming7169 Got it..so technically different suits from different shows...

[@samuraix10666]

I watched a build for this kit and it seems almost internally the same as the ZZ and no one has answered this yet but can the FAZZ transform

[@samuraix10666]

@P and J Review Stuff thank you

[@fufu5068]

Gonna look good beside mg virtue.

[@coleviloria3800]

I wonder if there’s any third party joint parts to strengthen up the right side of the FAZZ because that lean will be hell over time.

[@neonlightillusion]

Cole Viloria there is, it’s called glue

[@porkflaps4717]

I have a question. I think it would, but will this kit wield that mega particle cannon without the FA parts on it? I know I will get this somewhere down the road I'm just curious because of display options. I really dig the Sentinel colors and like this kit with and without armor.

[@porkflaps4717]

I saw a Japanese review where this kit was leaning HARD to the side of the cannon. Sorta concerning but it can be fixed

[@samurai_sam3461]

This is a cool kit. I think if I did buy it I would probably leave it without that extra armor on it.

[@Jirujan]

basically, if you buy this, you didn't just get ZZ Gundam, but also get Enhanced ZZ Gundam

[@UVAmatsuo]

You don't have the parts for the normal ZZ backpack but I don't think anybody is really going to notice in that sea of black.

[@Jirujan]

@@UVAmatsuo "sea of black"?

[@UVAmatsuo]

@@Jirujan The backpack is like 90% black, so some details can be lost.

[@eldrasgames5008]

Why? the ver.ka is a really good solid kit.

[@-u-waa]

@@eldrasgames5008 They're talking about HG kits.

[@MagicSwordKing]

Hm. I think I'm probably going to hold off on this one for a while. It looks great and all, and it doesn't have the sort of weight issues with the mega cannon that I feared it might have, but I already have the ZZ Ver. Ka and notably do NOT have a bunch of other kits that I think I'd rather spend the money on before going in on this particular chungus.

[@humanmold]

I agree,this think is a nice looking brick but not worth the price imo.

[@DerpEye]

No detailing, such a shame. This would look soooo much better with all the panel lining and some water slides.

[@1983Corolla]

I mean, buy it and do all that yourself, Zack and pretty much every other reviewer never does all of that just for a review.

[@paanrp]

Can u switch the right arm to left? Prefer the double beam rifle on left hand

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yes possible

[@kingprettie01]

Hey nice review, was wondering if the forearms are interchangeable?

[@Zer0Hour17]

Oh man this kit is basically a "Only buy if you paint" kit. So much giant areas of solid color plastic makes it look to much like a toy without custom paint imo.

Is this kit as big as the sazabi ver ka? Great looking set

so, questions just out of curiosity how well can it transform, and do the armor fit the ZZ ver ka

[@tanphatpham6344]

This guy can't transform,bruh and the armor perfectly fit with the ZZ

[@Duomaxwell02M]

Just add the Nero and you'll already have Task Force Alpha. 😀

[@118bone]

Can the armorless version also transform into G fortress?

[@UVAmatsuo]

No, but there might be enough parts to convert it back to be able. I know sch said the arms can't transform.

[@saabastiana4111]

Is an Action Base 1 or 4 more stable for a big MG like this??

[@UVAmatsuo]

Both are going to be weak to too much weight off the sides but I feel like A4 would be better since it's thicker and the ladders really make it stable.

[@saabastiana4111]

Amatsuo phew lucky i got the 4 instead, hope it doesn’t yellow overtime as i got the clear version

This thing looks like it would bump into itself, denting and scratching its own armours every time it moved if it were a real robot.

[@ronodenthal100]

Well, the FAZZ was a prototype, which did have mobility issues. I think literally all of them got destroyed by the much more mobile Gundam Mk V because of these problems. But its firepower was as such that it was shooting at targets tens of thousands of miles away, or so I hear. Basically blinking lights in the distance trying to snipe each other.

[@cnhnx]

It's a space unit, it will mostly move like space fighter using thrusters and verniers not walking around like a land crawler.
