can't wait for more variants like ReZeon and Vanargand, I love AoZ so much. It'd be nice for the regular one to get a retail release but let's be realistic here.
You can actually pull the shoulder joint out further, its pretty tight so i recommend removing the whole arm and grabbing the joint itself with your fingernails and pulling it out, then reattaching the arm to pose it. The engineering really surprised me, lots of hidden details like the pipes in the back of the knee that sorta folds in and the swing out hip joint, cant wait for the actual AOZ kits
I just ordered this and can't wait for it to arrive! Curious what sort of topcoats and panel lining people went with for this? I usually stick to matte but I'm wondering if I should do gloss for the orange parts. Maybe a gray or brown panel lining? Either way, I'm totally in love with this color scheme. I've been really happy with the unique Zaku colors we've been getting
The upcoming sniper version looks great, but I have a feeling that it won’t have any extra hands. It does look like they at least will change some details like added spikes on the shoulders and no cables on the sides of the legs and a great looking sniper rifle
Thanks for the review! Ordered mine but didn't have it on hand yet. I'm glad this cool remake wasn't left as is and will have AOZ Hi-Zack Custom coming our way! Even if it's in the dreaded P-Bandai form...
You have to give credits to Fujioka Kenki, every mobile suit redesigned by him looks so menacing and the proportion are spot on too. I passed on this one...well, it sold out on p-bandai in my country thanks to those scalpers. Definitely will pick up the up coming Hi-zack variant kit.
I was thinking of getting this to make into a Hizack Custom, but I didn’t want to commit to getting it until I knew that it wasn’t based on the original HGUC Hizack. But now that the Hizack Custom AoZ version is coming, there’s no need for me to get this other than to replicate a civilian’s attempt to recreate famous Zakus or make their own custom Hizack.
the Hobby Hi-Zack is a civilian-use MS hence why it has not weapons and are bought by MS enthusiasts who treated it like a sports car, heck it is used in a sport called Mobile Suit racing in the U.C. timeline.
Another great review, always look forward to seeing your thoughts and opinions. I find it funny how Bandai still thinks nobody knows about the hi-zack or the Pale Rider still or many other suits. That are getting the P-Bandai stamp. Even though people know about these suits through games and people reviewing em. I understand it's business, but at the same time Bandai has to trust in the fans and the people that buy the kits. People are willing to buy these kits for a new experience and to customize and to even just have the kit as representation of the suit.
Actually, blame retail. They don't want to stock these kits thinking they won't sell, so Bandai has to put the P-Bandai label on it to get rid of stock. Of course, not that Bandai probably puts much effort into convincing them otherwise.
it is odd that it has no accessories, riosangata riko zaku came with all of the accessories for the zaku even though it's never advertised with a weapon.
@@NovaSoldier it will be. Not even as a cynical thing, its just Brandon doesn't fully own the AOZ designs so the AOZ hi-zack can't be put in to a standard release.
First comment, great review as always! Love the modern look of this Hi-Zack. Can't wait for the "normal" colour version that's going to be released soon.
The fact it was piloted by neo zeon it would of ended up recolored and used by remnants leading up to unicorn. Most likely will be a P-Bandai recolor with weapons.
@@TekkaSage what are you talking about about? Neo Zeon nor The Sleeves ever fielded Hobby Hizack's. They made use of the normal Hizack, Hizack Custom, and EWAC-Zack.
