The Bandai HGUC #234 MS-06S Char's Zaku II is a 1/144 scale model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam series, released as part of the Gunpla 40th Anniversary Project. This 2020 Revive edition features completely re-engineered proportions faithful to the original 1979 anime design, with enhanced articulation and dual-material skirt armor options. Recommended for beginner to intermediate builders, this snap-fit kit requires no glue or paint for a color-accurate build. Pair it with the HGUC #191 RX-78-2 Gundam to recreate iconic scenes from the One Year War.
Key Features
-
Movable Mono-Eye: The mono-eye can be adjusted left or right using a control rib on the back of the head, eliminating the need to remove the helmet.
-
Dual Skirt Armor Options: Includes both PS plastic and soft TPE skirt armor parts - use the soft material for a seamless anime-accurate look or the rigid plastic parts for a more mechanical, paintable appearance.

Enhanced Arm Articulation: Both the upper arm and forearm feature independent rotation, providing an expanded range of motion for expressive weapon-holding poses.
-
Storable Weapons: All three included weapons - Zaku Machine Gun, Zaku Bazooka, and Heat Hawk - can be mounted on the waist skirt armor when not in use.
-
Gunpla 40th Anniversary Design: Proportions have been fully updated to match the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime while incorporating modern engineering standards.
-
Snap-Fit Assembly: Color-molded runners allow for an accurate finished model without painting, with 7 runners and approximately 149 parts.
