Description
The Bandai HGUC #166 MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) is a 1/144 scale snap-fit plastic model kit from the Mobile Suit Variations (MSV) design series. This kit recreates the blood-red high-mobility Zaku piloted by Zeon ace Major Johnny Ridden, known as the "Crimson Lightning," featuring distinctive yellow shoulder pauldron spikes and unique leg thruster covers molded with new tooling. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this HGUC kit snaps together without glue or paint for a color-accurate finished model. The MS-06R-2 was one of only four R-2 type Zakus produced before the Rick Dom was selected as Zeon's next-generation space combat mobile suit.
Key Features
- Movable Mono-Eye: The mono-eye can be adjusted left or right via a switch underneath the head for expressive display options.
- Signature Shoulder Spikes: Johnny Ridden's distinctive yellow shoulder pauldron spikes are faithfully recreated with new mold parts.
- Unique Leg Thruster Covers: Redesigned thruster panels on the legs distinguish this R-2 type from other high mobility Zaku II variants in the HG line.
- Multiple Weapon Options: Includes Zaku Machinegun, Zaku Bazooka, Giant Bazooka, and Heat Hawk for a wide range of combat display configurations.
- Weapon Rack System: A dedicated weapon rack allows armaments to be mounted in different configurations on the mobile suit or stored for display.
- Interchangeable Head Parts: Commander type head with choice of stabilizer antenna or blade antenna for customization.
- Color-Molded Construction: The distinctive red and black color scheme is reproduced through direct color injection molding, minimizing the need for painting.
