A review of the Master Grade Zaku II 2.0 in the WHITE OGRE colors. It also covers MG Zaku II 2.0's in general since they all are pretty much the same kit.
This is my first review, so feel free to ask questions and tell me how I can improve. I'm hoping to do one of these every couple of weeks. It's kind of just an excuse to buy more model kits lol
EDIT 03/30/2018
Why does this have so many more views than the rest of my videos? So weird. Is it because it's the oldest? Are Zaku's just that popular? Or maybe it's that sick pink and cyan Arial font I used lol

i've been looking for a white ogre review for a while now. awesome review, keep up the good work!

[@pacer1705]

I love the standard Zaku Ver 2.0 range of models because they make a very good high kneel pose. The High Mobility variant ones though make it impossible to do the same good high kneel pose.

[@pilotamurorei]

The high mobility ones are the best ones.

[@pilotamurorei]

@Terminal 7 Loogy blah blah blah, my favorite oyw pilot is gabby hazard, the high mob r-2s are the best zakus

[@tedhodge4830]

The kneeling pose is better than anything I've ever seen, it is glorious

[@kagame1726]

Wow a giant storm trooper

[@spisee5445]

Ronin oh crap...does their aim still suck though?

[@lexxier1]

It pretty much is a robot stormtrooper

[@TurkeyProductions7]

With a fin

[@Yfr28]

The regular MG Zaku 2.0 Type-C was my first kit back in march and a great introduction to Gunpla, I've been hooked since!

[@dovenbullet0147]

There is no mg version of Type-C. only J, F, S and the high mobility types.

[@Yfr28]

You're right, it was an MS-06J

[@JTruong3rd]

If this is gonna be anime accurate. Boy you are gonna have a fun time weathering this zaku.

[@ms-06zakuii94]

0:00 legend has borned

[@redheadphones6]

This made me rewatch this video lol. Man, so humbling to see where these things started out. I remember shooting this in one afternoon with a little tripod I borrowed from school. So crazy seeing how far something like 'reviewing Gunpla online' can go given enough time and effort. I'm really happy I started this channel. Thanks for watching this old video!

[@Danny-ky9tc]

beautiful review, keep it up bud :)

[@dantimmerman6693]

You missed the sliding cock pit and dual hatch doors and used the mono eye gimmick and in articulation. Other than. That, I agree with you on almost everything......I have 30 MG Zaku in the lineup, 22 of which are 2.0's. You can't beat this kit with any other 2.0 out there except Hyaku Shiki.

[@Nh2OO5]

I didn't even know there were that many lol, most of them must've been P-Bandai

[@mattr.1804]

I envy you! They don’t reprint mg zaku’s enough

[@Eros10722]

A adjustment to the fingers is you have to cut the connecting fingers to give him individual fingers

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

I love this kit.

[@Gundamzerowing1]

Have you considered doing a Gelgoog 2.0 review?

[@arpbug]

good news

[@thatonequeergundamfan71]

damn that zaku is just awesome

[@kimberlyanderson9739]

What would a zaku come with, tho??

[@tedhodge4830]

Damn it, now I have to get a Zaku 2.0 😮‍💨

[@brentlyjb23]

Bandai where's my zaku 3 ?

[@redheadphones6]

:,(

[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

Bandi, give us MG Zaku II the origin version >_

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

Brently Bennett Probably it’s going to be a Re 1/100

[@liyox14]

Bandai wheres my zaku 3.0

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

liyox14 Nowhere.

[@DarbyBellisle]

What's your opinion on the MG ZAku II 2.0's metal aftermarket parts?

[@Zaku186]

The CJ hobby mono eyes look awesome.

[@Googusvaflogishnogin]

Enjoyed the review. Thanks for putting it up. I think I'm going to order a couple of them from Amazon, but I was wondering if I should get a sheet of zeon water slide decals. The stickers with these kits are not water slides, right?

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks! These kits don't come with any waterslide decals. They're a combination of dry transfer and peal and stick.

[@Googusvaflogishnogin]

Thanks for the response :) That's definitely good to know. I imagine the dry transfer ones would suite my needs quite nicely.

[@huehung259]

❤️❤️

[@sorenzx1923]

My favorite Zaku 2 is still the F2. 08ms team version for the zaku 2. The chest piece looks beefier in my opinion.

[@feisalsapiee8105]

Yeah...the nightmare of solomon..that one kit rare now...i got it on 2002...hand also better thN all zaku..

[@tedhodge4830]

Igloo really isn't that bad. It was worth a watch. Very different.

[@mrZavior]

Have you built any of the high mobility types? The leg articulation seems hampered by the extra thrusters but that MSV look is so damn cool! If you've built one of them, let us know, please!

[@WarwolfGames]

The commander fins are for the standard zaku and the high mobility zaku, they both appear in the anime :)

[@Hakuru15]

I need this kiiiit

[@azruln8430]

You should apply weathering to this Elmer Snell's Zaku 2..and apply those decal too.. I already done it mine.

[@ProCoRat]

I don't know if you read all the comments or not, as you are pretty prolific with your videos nowadays... but, I noticed you had an unboxing and speedbuild of the Kotobukiya Sol Hornet kit, but no review I can find. I'm not asking you to do a review, per se, but would you recommend it? I'm so on the fence, and keep going back and forth between Zaku 2.0 and that kit.

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks! ...but I think you've got the wrong guy lol. I don't have any Kotobukiya kits, and I haven't done any unboxing type stuff yet.. I will say I really love these Zaku 2.0 kits though. They're some of the best model kits Bandai has to offer. So I'd recommend this one lol. From what I hear, Kotobukiya kits are kind of hit or miss.

[@ProCoRat]

This is weird! Yeah, I got the wrong guy! But yeah... MG Zaku won out. Can you have enough Zakus?

[@redheadphones6]

lol No problem. And no, you can never have too many Mono Eyes. Good luck on the build.

[@lilruss15]

6:01 the horn one is for commander use, other is a stablizer

[@Knightfall8]

lore wise whats the difference between the J and F?

[@redheadphones6]

The J is the ground type, and is the one featured in this review (be it in white instead of the usual green) and the F is the standard Zaku used in space. In terms of build, they're almost exactly the same except for a slightly altered backpack and number of vents on the lower legs.

[@Knightfall8]

I'll probably want J versions then if I invest in the ez8 and ground gundam (to make an 08th MS team display)

[@nizalmuhammad9689]

Old gunpla bandai is still produce until today ?

[@redheadphones6]

Yep. Bandai regularly re-releases older kits. This white zaku isn't produced as often as the regular zaku and Char's zaku. But every few months there'll be a restock.

[@nizalmuhammad9689]

Thanks guys im happy heard it :)

[@magicalspooder8279]

How are the pegs for the weapons

[@redheadphones6]

Pretty solid. They're not too thick either, so it's easy to pop in and out the weapons. Compared to those 3.0 Gundam hands that take forever to get right lol

[@brianworden7022]

I have the normal J type.. And they are comparable to the old trigger finger split on the ground gundam. The pegs are 100% pointless and can't hold jack. I will probably fix it like I did the Ground Gundam drill and hole and screw the gun in.

[@donaldzuramp4404]

I think ill just wait for origin zaku ii for my first zaku

[@indananaldazher]

These are indeed the best MG kit ever made by bandai in terms of everything, sad it ended here.

[@proboscismonkey-1413]

I just found my own for $15 just missing the grenades and the commander antenna.

[@delt3378]

The two barrels on its back skirt is bazooka amunitions.

[@CelloMachachillo]

Cockpit?? No cockpit???

[@redheadphones6]

Yeah, all MG's have one, so not really worth mentioning imo. It'd be sort of repetitive over the course of 20+ reviews.

[@CelloMachachillo]

RedHeadphones6 they’re the selling point for me tbh. and some are done differently with different figures etc. Idk I wish RGs had them too. Very detailed review tho 🙂

[@shipmate3577]

We need a master grade ZAKU II v3.0

[@Dragonk116]

Ya I still don't like zakus.... But I like the color on this.

[@waerp11]

5/5 4 build? What about that pipe that's a pain in the ass

[@redheadphones6]

Which ones? I really didn't have issues with any of them, outside of them being kind of boring builds.

[@Zaku186]

Would you be willing to sell the bazooka ammo containers if you dont like them? you show them at 6:22 and said you didnt know what they were. i wish bandai would sell just weapons for MG kits by themselves.

[@gomine5971]

5:29 I don’t think you’re supposed to hold the MMP-78 all the way out. We tend to see the butt of the stock shoved up to the arm, and it being held in both hands.

[@redheadphones6]

I actually copied that pose from one in the manual. It's in the color pages, in the weapons section. It probably would work a little better pulled inwards though.

[@lilruss15]

2:35 , bruh anime got the stickers on them

[@redheadphones6]

Lil Russ Not sure about igloo, but I’m referring more towards the original anime, which didnt have a bunch of caution signs muddying up the design. Just clean, cheap 1970’s anime lol

[@lilruss15]

not sure if they have all of the caution stickers in the OVA, but sure the huge gecko one is on it, it is like his personal sign(and for Zeon advertising their military power)

[@redheadphones6]

Yea, like I said in the review, I don't really care about Igloo lol. That cgi was too much for me, so I wanted this to look more like a Zaku from the 1979 anime, thus didn't use the Igloo specific decal. I just made sure to mention it so people that did care knew it came with it.

[@emperorkiva8063]

Nothing interesting to say, just wanted to be the 69 comment. Nice

[@stickthesecond5085]

Bruh you should at least watch the zaku vs tank scene in igloo

[@Kikomatsing316]

I like your reviews. But i think I'm the only one who doesn't need/want a zaku in my collection . Idk why im not into grunt suits.
