Oh and all the landing gear is separate to the mech so if you wanted to display it as g fortress parked you'd have to clip the landing gear on. | Whoa!? Perfect transformation?! Looks like I have to check this kit out! Thanks for answering my questions!  |

That's what I love about gundam models. You don't have to paint them and they'll still look good. That pic doesn't do justice to the figure. I take some better pics of him and the rest of my collection when i get a chance.

Srsly, I've never bought one that cost me more than about $90 Canadian. That might have been either the Dom or the GP02A, and they're both heavy suits. The PG was more than twice that, but it's like building four MGs in one go. | |

Although that was the monstrous Ex-S Gundam  . Yeah, there aren't many MGs out there that push the $100 mark, at least if you're going through reasonably priced hobby shops, and not those guys that crazy-overcharge you. Beyond the Ex-S, there's the Sazabi and the Perfect Zeong, and that's probably it, short of limited edition models. Quote: |

Thanks for answering my questions! | Thus far, all MG kits of variable suits are "perfect transformation". It's part of the appeal of the larger, more detailed scale, as opposed to the 1/144 HG line (and even the 1/100 HG lines often require removable fists or something). | |

#119 | | Not just a name. Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 3,743 Location: Pasco, WA, USA, Earth, Sol System, Orion Arm, Milky Way Galaxy, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster Collection Count: About 40! Plus about 6 other transforming toys. News Credits: 1 | Last weekend I picked up the HCM Pro Zeta Unit 3, and the figure rocks! It's smaller than a HGUC or a MSiA, but it has a nearly perfect transformation, that uses some transformation gimmicks that are new to the Zeta.  
Like all the HCM Pro figures, there is a small amount of removable armor. The Zaku II had a bit of internals on the head and backpack, and the Gouf had it on the head and chest. The Zeta has two small parts on it's legs. Internals on these figures is just icing, but still nice.
The Zeta comes with it's traditional armament, two beam sabers, two grenade packs, a beam rifle, and a hyper mega launcher.   
As with all HCM Pro, some of the multiple hands are molded to the equipment. This is actually kinda nice because it allows you to have a good hand pose for the weapon, and also negates having loose weapons in the grips. The optional beam sabers on the rifle and hyper mega launcher are done with extra parts to replace the barrels of the guns. 
The transformation of the Zeta to Wave Rider mode is pleasantly complex. It's not a perfect transformation, as the removal of the hands and V-fin are required, as is the replacing of the torso with a collapsed module. The MSiA and EMSiA couldn't have a complete transformation because of the materials, and the HGUC couldn't have it because of the cost.
The Wave Rider is a bit thicker than I would have hoped, but very well executed. The included stand has adaptors for latching straight onto the Wave Rider, and for attaching onto the Hyper Mega Launcher.   
All in all, the only thing I really wish this figure came with is a stand for the robot mode. The figure is a bit hard to pose in robot mode.  | |
