Bandai Hobby HGAC Wing Gundam Zero Model Kit (1/144 Scale)

A lot of this is speaking from nostalgia but wow what a great kit! Man I remember the first time I watched Gundam Wing back when I was a kid on Toonami, and boy did that blow my mind! Never before did I see a cartoon like Gundam Wing before and that series is what started my crazy passion for collecting Gundam model kits. As a kid back in the early 2,000s I collected most of the Gundam Wing kits that were available at my local Wal Mart, and I gota that they were for the most part garbage. It is that reason that it just blows my mind to see how far Bandai has come with their HG line of model kits, and the HG Proto Zero is a great example of that. I purchased the kit for 18 dollars and just like the other all Gundam project kits, you get your bang for your buck. The kit is a transformable model and just like the Wing Gundam is very easy to transform and looks great in its bird mode. The kit comes with the iconic double buster rifles that does separate, two beam swords, and shield. The kit like most modern day kits is very flexible and therefore able to achieve a wide range of posses. Another plus withe this kit is the color separation, glad to see Bandai didn't cheap out in us by replacing colored parts with stickers. The kit just looks fantastic out of the box, the only thing I recommend you do is use a lining marker to line to line the kit up. Really makes your kit pop. All in all a fantastic kit for the price I would ideally give it a 4.5 out 5, but since that option isn't available on Amazon I just rounded that up to a five. My only gripe with the kit)and it might just be with mine) is that the arms fall off quite easily. However I used a tinny bit of glue on the arm ball joints, just to make it sticky and now the arms stay on just fine. Just get the kit you won't be sorry! Especially if your a Gundam Wing fan!

It was an awesome price for an awesome item. Enjoyed putting it together.

Lots of pieces

This was my first gundam model experience. It was very easy to put together. The arsenal of weapons includes the dual beam cannon and shield as seen in the picture as well as 2 beam sabers. The wings on its back make it hard to balance if you don't have a model stand but it is possible to stand it up without one; having the wings in an upright position not only make it look cool but also take some of the weight from the rear. My only complaint was with the arms. There are articulating joints in the arm as well as the torso where it connects to the arm. The arms tend to fall out easily when posing them and has led to some frustration. After seeing the arm joints of other models I think that the extra articulation joints weren't really necessary. Once you get the arms to stay in and you find the right balance, this gundam looks really cool. Buy it!

It was fun putting this model together. The only issue I have is that the beam saber blades were slightly bent, and it is impossible to get them straight.

Muy buen model kit

Llegó muy rápido y en perfecto estado. Es bastante bonito y entretenido de armar.

Kudos to you Bandai, and your genius. I won't lie, I was a little apprehensive when buying this as it has... Well, WINGS, and if you've ever built a Gundam with wings you know it can sometimes be the death of the kit. However I think everyone will be pleased when I say, this Kit is near perfect much like its Nataku counterpart. Articulation= From the get-go the head is capable of looking up around 120 degrees, and down just the same, allowing it for more head movement than most Kits. The torso has an ab-crunch which does also work better than most Kits, but still is not the most. The shoulders have a special ButterFly joint which allows it to come out and have the kit be able to... TOUCH THE OTHER SHOULDER! Something not very much seen in Kits of this scale, while also allowing for an almost 180 bend in the elbow, great hand motion, as well as the shoulder pads opening up in order to reveal Thrusters within them! The legs are able to move forward just under 90 degrees, an almost perfect 180 knee-bend for that Knee-To-Chest action. The feet have a decent enough swivel, while uniquely the back panel of the calves can open up to allow for the foot to point down more(and this function also comes with the transformation). The wings, well they have some weight to them, but not enough to bog down the Kit, and can move just about every-which-way ya want them to, making for some pretty nice poses from this Kit. Transformation= As you might expect, this Kit is a bit of a Parts-Former, but only truly to the point of you needing to swap the feet out in order to get them into Bird Mode. The rest of the transformation simply requires you swiveling and twisting some parts around. Accessories= 2X Buster Rifles 2X Beam Sabres 1X Shield 2X Bird Mode Feet Posing= The posing is great. The Kit actually does not have all that much weight to it, even with the wings. The only complaint I have is that the shield can be slightly cumbersome, and make it a little difficult to pose, however despite this, it is a great Kit. Verdict= From the build to the poses, you'll be pleased. The colors are great, the build is great, the kit is great, posing. Great. IF you are a fan of this Gundam, there is no reason to not get this Kit.

I enjoyed putting it together, remember to buy a stand apart to make it even better 🫶🏻

Ich hatte es als Geburtstagsgeschenk für mein Patenkind (8 Jahre) gekauft. Er hat nach dem Auspacken direkt mit dem Aufbau begonnen und hat bis heute viel Spaß damit
