    Here's an HGUC model kit of the Zaku I Sniper Type as it appeared in Bandai Namco's games, Mobile Suit Gundam: Battlefield Operation, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield. This impressive kit is easy to assemble and looks great even without paint! Its right knee can be folded down when taking a sniper position, a nylon mesh cover and bendable wire are included for detailing and connecting the backpack to the sniper rifle, and there are clear plastic parts for the mono eye and scope lens. A Zaku machine gun is also included as a backup weapon.

    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.

      A classic in multiple aspects!

      This was one of my first HG Zaku kits, and I found it to be very impressive. Having built the original HG Zaku I as well, the sniper versions from Unicorn look and feel like completely different (and more modern) kits. There is a good reason these kits sell out so quickly.

      Interesting build

      I love the zaku models. The knee extension is interesting. The sniper model has a good head shape. The decals leave a bit to be desired.

      An easy and fun build with a lot of potential

      Excepting a gimmicky fabric wire cover, this kit comes together very intuitively. If you've built a Zaku before, it'll be even easier. Nevertheless, it's very sturdy and solid, simple to paint and equally simple to mod. Also comes with a Zaku machine gun for added customization!

      Zaku love

      It's a really cute build. the wire and mesh rifle connection took a bit to wrap my head around, there really is only two ways to connect the thing. other than that it's great

      I was wrong about the nylon mesh cover

      I didn't check thoroughly enough so I'll rewrite new my review here, I just finished assembling this zaku i, a very nice kit the color fits well, you can't even tell if it was modern or not.
