MG 1/100 MS-06S Zaku II Char's Custom Ver. 2.0

The "Red Comet" returns in a Master Grade that redefined internal frame engineering! Released as a massive update over the original 1990s version, the Zaku II Ver. 2.0 is widely considered one of the most robust and poseable Zaku kits ever made. It captures the iconic silhouette of Char Aznable’s custom machine from the original 1979 series while introducing modern mechanics that allow for unprecedented "human" movement.

Product Features

• Revolutionary Inner Frame: The Ver. 2.0 frame is a mechanical marvel, featuring sliding armor plates and intricate linkages that allow the Zaku to perform a perfect one-legged kneeling pose, just like in the anime.

• Innovative Pipe Assembly: Bandai introduced a specialized molding process for this kit where the individual rings of the power pipes are pre-aligned on a runner. This allows for a "slide-and-snap" assembly, drastically reducing the time and frustration of building Zaku pipes.

• Classic Neo-Zeon Arsenal: Comes fully equipped with Char’s signature loadout: the Zaku Machine Gun (with removable drum magazine), the Zaku Bazooka, and the glowing Heat Hawk axe.

• Monocular Gimmick: The Zaku's "mono-eye" features a gear-linked mechanism that automatically rotates the eye left or right as the head is turned.

• Bonus Display Pieces: Includes two variations of the commander’s blade antenna (classic and "stabilized") and a 1/100 scale lift vehicle with a pilot figure to recreate hangar scenes.

Build Experience

• Master Grade Complexity: With a dense internal skeleton and high part count, this kit offers a deeply satisfying build for those who appreciate mechanical functionality.

• Snap-Fit Perfection: Every component is engineered to lock together securely—no glue or cement required.

• Char's Signature Palette: Molded in the distinct "Salmon Pink" and "Burgundy" tones of the Red Comet. The plastic quality is excellent, looking great out of the box or providing a smooth surface for painting.

• Scale Figures: Includes two 1/100 scale figures of Char Aznable one standing in his flight suit and one seated for the cockpit.

Specifications

Collector's Note: The Zaku II Ver. 2.0 is the gold standard for grunt-suit Master Grades. Its frame is so well-engineered that it was used as the base for almost every subsequent MG Zaku release, making it a mandatory build for any fan of the Universal Century!
