It took Bandai a little too long, but they've finally released a version of the original Zaku in their superb 1/144 HGUC series (note that some overseas arms of Bandai repackaged the "8th MS Team" version of the Zaku, and formed it in red plastic, calling it Char's Zaku, but that was never released in Japan, and a completely different tooling from this item). Little else needs to be said here, as most of you are no doubt all too familiar with the characteristics of these kits by now: fully posable, molded in color, snap assembly, etc., etc. Includes the usual array of Zaku weapons -- the "Heat Hawk" axe, Zaku Machine Gun, and bazooka. Scale: 1/144 Item Size/Weight: 29.0cm x 19.0cm x 6.0cm / 260g Release Date: Jul 2002
