@@MechaGaikotsu It's mostly what you'd expect from a kit from the 90s. A notable thing about it is that there are decals that are pre-printed on the parts directly. Which helps since all the stickers for mine have long since fallen off. There are also a lot of seam lines on this one that are very obvious. That might turn off a lot of people. The polycaps for the wings of mine have also loosened enough that the wings kind of droop while in MS if I don't secure them with some tape. Articulation is also very stiff since the torso needs to be a solid piece to facilitate the transformation of the Wave Rider mode. All in all, pretty good kit. If you have a 2.0 or one of the Z-Plus models, then those would pose a lot better. My only real disclaimer is that mine is proper *old* old as I got it way back in 2000 so a lot of it has worn down. If you can find one, just note that the stickers may not work anymore because of the age.

Don't have the 1.0 to compare but i do have almost every 2.0 even the zeta karaba trio to comapre this to...the design of the ver ka is much more refined and you can definitely tell that its a lot more easy to move and transform into a wave rider. The amount of articulation this has in order for it to move like this and even transform is really an advancement for the zeta line. I would say that its really now the same and solid kit like the RX 78-2 3.0 and ZZ VerKa 😊

Yep, definitely want a comparison. I actually like the 2.0 quite a lot, it's a bit of a must-have kit if you want to try a little bit of everything that gunpla has to offer. I have no doubt that it's mechanically superior in every way, but I'm not too sure about the appearance. I think the shoulders look narrower and kind of pushed forward so it looks like a kid trying to look tough. The ver ka changes are a matter of taste - I like my very chunky Mk II and Zeta, and Katoki likes his slimmed down suits and hanging breast vents. I do like that the wings aren't a massive brick though. It's hard to say, I might prefer this one in person, I might not.
