Char's Zaku is one of my Top 3 figures of the year without a doubt.
Even though we always say that these fan favorite mobile suits should have been released earlier, time proves that we were better off waiting for the toy engineering to reach the current levels we're witnessing today.
I mean look at the SH Figuarts line where I think 2 years ago we had a Whis figure with a traffic cone of an outfit & today we have flexible plastic in Zamasu & Broly's skirts.
Two months ago I got my Zaku from HLJ & the word garbage doesn't even begin to describe their reckless "wrap it on a cardboard paper & shove it in a box" packaging.
As a result the entire right side of that beautiful red box was unfortunately crushed.
Anyway, the only thing that really bothered me & gave me a "poop my pants" moment was when both arms of the Zaku just dropped in the package the second I lifted the main body up for inspection.
I reattached them to the torso but I've never experienced anything like this with Bandai before & from playing with the figure I can confirm it's not a QC issue but an assembly brain fart.
Aside from that, the figure is gorgeous, the shade of red they chose is calming, the design of the head & the leg tubes works seamlessly, the arm articulation gives you so many options... etc.
If you haven't purchased it already, secure a preorder for this figure because it does justice to one of Gundam's iconic mobile suits.

Metal Composite Wing Zero EW Custom is the best. It's so good I have two.

Is there a big difference RX-78-02 GUNDAM (40TH ANNIVERSARY VER.) and the ORIGIN [RE:PACKAGE] - REISSUE? The reissue is on sale and I want to make sure I get the best version of the the figure. Sorry for the all cap parts I was copying and pasting some of it! LOL

LOL Main difference is the anniversary have the tampos (I prefer it without them) but the anniversary have the stand like the MB ones to pose it (the origin version came with a base only, so no flying pose). I think there are some parts to customize it that varies (I watched a video but not sure there of the anniversary). But the core figure remain the same.

In some of the pictures the head sculpt looks different to me. Like the yellow eyes are more prominent on the anniversary one. Or maybe it’s just a difference in the photos.

Forget to mention that... eyes hace a different color... may be thats why.

i know this is super later but you made a good choice the 40th anniversary is better
the most important thing the eyes are yellow not pink like the #1009 (anime accurate and just looks cool)
it have more details on its body the tiny words and the writing on the shoulders made it more alive
comes with a cool stand
its an anniversary release so better value
its the RX-78-2 to get other are nice but this is AMAZING
give us your feed back when you get it

Web Shop Exclusive again too... actually do perfer that to it being a regular release. I'll be picking this one up since I missed the regular Wing Zero.
Would have preferred blue/ light purple accents to grey, but still looks really nice!

Hmmmmmm... the back seems overly designed and heavy as it needs extra support. If it's web exclusive, it's gonna be worse because P-Bandai USA hasn't carried anything good since its renovation. So how will this be made available locally?
