1/60 PERFECT GRADE WING GUNDAM ZERO CUSTOM

1/60 PERFECT GRADE WING GUNDAM ZERO CUSTOM
Price: ¥15,000

Assembly Guide
Skill LevelPaint (Y/N)Cement (Y/N)

The most impressive model in Bandai's history is finally here! This kit has too much to list in detail, so please be willing to settle for the highlights:

30-plus runners of parts (670 total pieces). About 30 locations secured by metal screws. Two different locations (eyes and chest) light up on the finished kit. Full inner mechanism detail on all limbs. Opening panels on the head, chest, and more. Fingers are individually jointed. Comes with two beam sabers and two huge beam rifles. Locking systems provide stability so things don't flap around like they tend to do on the Master Grade kit. Comes boxed in three separate inner boxes plus a special box that contains the 14 individual "feathers" made from plastic-coated thin metal, plus the metal joint parts, screws, and other goodies. Two separate manuals are included. The first, the INSTRUCTION manual (text is in Japanese), has numerous photos of the kit in various construction steps plus painting guide, history of the unit and the Battle Zero unit, cross sections, and an interview with the designer of the kit. The second, the CONSTRUCTION manual, has the actual assembly instructions and details. No English text but the diagrams are self-explanatory.

This is a very complex model kit and, as our "Skill Level 4" rating indicates, is not recommended for beginner modelers.

Continuing the line of Unicorn Gundam Master Grade kits is the MG ReZEL. The ReZEL is able to fully transform into its Wave Rider form thanks to some ingenious engineering. The legs fold completely when transforming which means this kit will be able to assume some mean standing poses! The included Beam Sabers are capable of mounting onto the fore-arms and the same mount is used to attach the rifle.The hatch opens to reveal the included 1/100 scale pilot figure. All pieces are molded in color and snap-fit so no glue or paint are required. Clear parts and marking stickers are also provided.

 00 Gundam is all the buzz in Japan with the recent release of the newest feature anime, A Wakening of the Trailblazer, and Bandai keeps us on our toes with the upcoming 00 Quanta (or QAN[T] as it says on the box). The Quanta will come with its massive transformable weapon, which even can function as a shield, and there's even going to be the option of adding a sold separately LED for the GN drive!

The newest Perfect Grade kit, coming this December, will be none other than the Strike Freedom Gundam! The Strike Freedom, with its expandable Super Dragoons, will be the largest PG kit ever released. Completely new molds are used in the production of this kit and Bandai has promised improvement of the sliding mechanisms in the joints and armor so the gold frame parts are viewable. Bandai has designed new, sturdier joints to hold this hefty kit once it is completed and it will include weapons and accessories such as the Beam Shield, two Beam Rifles, two Railguns, eight Super Dragoons, a display base, and an LED unit for the head!
