Zeta Gundam Coating Version
The new 1/100 MG Zeta Gundam is probably the most highly-engineered model Bandai has ever produced. The TV series introduces the "transformation" concept to Gundam in an impressive way. It can switch from robot mode to "Wave Rider" mode in the wink of an eye. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that this amazing Master Grade kit can also make this transformation without a single piece having to be removed or replaced on it (not counting the shield/nose piece, but that's true to the show).
Eight full-size runners with hundreds of multi-colored parts make this kit a serious assembly project, but it goes together very smoothly. Besides the transformation capability, the kit includes all kinds of other goodies. As usual, everything moves. Even those yellow antenna on its forehead fold up. Three sets of hands are included -- fists, open palm, and poseable. A watch battery can be installed to light up the cockpit of the Wave Rider (bulb included). And the kit also comes with the "Hyper Mega Launcher" (not shown in these photos and yes, that's really what it's called) -- a huge super-cannon that the Zeta uses to blast enemies from the sky in one shot (the cannon is about 30cm or 12" long when completed!).
Also includes the usual "beam saber" sword, and little grenades that fit into openable hatches on the ends of its forearms. The Zeta in "Wave Rider" mode, seen from the top and bottom.
This transformation takes place without any parts needing to be removed from the kit!
This is the 20th anniversary version which is metal-plated and includes a figure of Camille Bidan.
