Review

This is the finished【HGUC】SAZABI(Metallic Coating Ver.).An NT-only machine piloted by Colonel “Char Aznable”, the commander-in-chief of the Neo Zeon army that appears in “MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM Char’s Counterattack”, and is a luxurious kit with metallic coating Ver.

This kit seems to be a general product, not a limited edition, so I bought the one that was resold at Gundam Base.

Side by side with the normal color version of Sazabi.It looks pretty luxurious with a shiny metallic coating.

A close-up of the head that resembles the mask of Colonel Char of the former Principality of Zeon.The mono-eye can be reproduced with a marking sticker and can be moved.

Torso details.The shiny metallic coating is expensive, so it’s beautiful.The yellow parts such as the shoulder thrusters and abdominal mega particle cannon were coated with bright metallic gold.

The shoulder armor is also a big model of HGUC interpretation.The small vernier inside is also reproduced with separate parts.

Arm details.The curved line of the forearm is beautiful!The joints are gray runners, but the black parts such as arms and backpacks were molded with small glitter.The beam saber on the wrist is non-removable.

The backpack is equipped with a funnel container and a propellant tank, which are also glittery and have beautiful colors.The backpack vernier is also a separate part.

The funnel container can be opened and closed, and there are three funnels on each side.The funnel is a three-piece model that is fixed in the stored state.

Waist details.The “Casval Rem Deikun” emblem on the front armor can be reproduced with a marking sticker.The rear armor has a mechanical mold on the back surface.

Detail of legs.The legs are also wide and reflect a lot of light and look beautiful.Since the original kit is not an under-gate type, there are quite a few areas where gate marks remain, but they are not very noticeable because the molding color of the base is red.

Action

Equipped with Beam shot rifle and Shield.

Sazabi will appear! Sazabi takes off!

Action with Beam shot rifle.A handy rifle that doubles as a shotgun.The pump action was not reproduced, and the color coding such as the power cable was not reproduced.

Action with Beam tomahawk and large beam saber.The Tomahawk body can be stored inside the shield.The tomahawk and saber effects were very hard to attach, so be careful not to damage them.

Two beam sabers are also included.Originally it is stored in the wrist, but a grip is attached as a separate part.

Float the funnel and face off against the Metallic ν Gundam.The funnel is a type that floats with a plastic rod instead of a 3mm shaft, so it is difficult to float.νGundam has a silver metallic color.

That concludes my review of【HGUC】SAZABI(Metallic Coating Ver.) !!

GOANZEN NI!!
