    If you asked us, "Hey guys, what's the difference between this and the other Char Zaku I?" We'd be like, "Well the other one was basically a Zaku II but with a different head, but this one is really actually a Zaku I." So there you have it! It comes with one of those Origin-type shields too!

    Before You Buy

    Limited & Exclusive Releases: Certain figures are produced in limited quantities or as store exclusives. Availability may be limited, and restocks are not guaranteed.

    Blind Box Items: Some figures come in blind boxes, meaning you will receive a random character. Please check the product description before purchasing.

    Pre-Orders: If the figure is a pre-order item, check the estimated release date and shipping timeline before placing an order.


    How to Care for Your Figures

    Avoid Direct Sunlight: UV exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Store figures away from direct sunlight.

    Temperature & Humidity Control: Keep figures in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or deterioration of materials.

    Regular Dusting: Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust without damaging delicate paintwork.

    Storage for Extra Parts: Some figures come with interchangeable hands, faces, or accessories. Store them in labeled bags or small containers to prevent loss.

      Nothing to write home about

      Firstly this is not a bad kit by any means. It's as well crafted and detailed as any other origin kit. The only issue with this kit that it's fairly basic, namely because it is a Zaku I. Unless you are a massive fan of the Origin kits, or Zeonic's development lineup from the late U.C. 0070s, I would suggest you pass. A better option would probably be The Origin version of Char's Zaku II.

      Great detail for an HG!

      I love the amount of articulation i can get out of this kit, much more than the older HGs that I'm used to. My only complaint is that the front skirts on my model are quite loose.

      Price is a bit high, but worth it.

      You're asking me why it's expensive? Because it's a Zaku I Char custom. This kit is super fun to display, because it's very bare bones but looks awesome. Also the eye can move! Gundams don't do that!

      Another great Red Comet Zaku

      This Zaku I actually looks different from the other GTO version for Char. If you put all three of his Zakus together, they each have noticeably unique coloring and details that compliment each other nicely. The GTO Zakus are some of the best kits out there, period.

      You better watch your box first!

      Most of others are deliteful. Reasonable price, nice staff, and quick pick up.

      However, one huge crack was in my experience, I ordered MS-05 Zaku I (Char Aznable) (https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-unknown&ei=rdxFXYXYM8zm5gLU3q_YCg&q=char+aznable+zaku+1&oq=char+aznable+zaku+1&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.3..0l2j0i22i30l2.887.2262..2296...0.0..0.180.884.1j5......0....1.........0i71j0i20i263j0i67j33i160.tF9UIGXPb7U#imgrc=oYXMajq7Pz9paM:) but instead of this, Planet gave me Char Aznable's Zaku I ( https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-unknown&ei=rdxFXYXYM8zm5gLU3q_YCg&q=char+aznable+zaku+1&oq=char+aznable+zaku+1&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.3..0l2j0i22i30l2.887.2262..2296...0.0..0.180.884.1j5......0....1.........0i71j0i20i263j0i67j33i160.tF9UIGXPb7U#imgdii=9d584Sd67dFClM:&imgrc=oYXMajq7Pz9paM:)

      And I realized that after I finished shoulder spike.

      I think it is better to review and understand about their products
