Seven years after the initial release of Bandai's phenomenal Perfect Grade kit of Wing Gundam Zero Custom, the popular kit returns, this time featuring gorgeous semi-translucent parts and a sleek pearl finish!
The kit is essentially the same as the first version, linked below, in terms of detail and gimmicks. We still get the same full inner mechanism detail on all limbs, individually jointed fingers, light-up eyes and chest (two button batteries are required, not included), and an incredibly articulated inner body frame. Also included are 14 individual "feathers" made from plastic-coated thin metal, metal joint parts, screws to hold joints and parts in place, and two beam sabers and a twin buster rifle. Two separate manuals are provided in this set. The first is the Instruction Manual with numerous photos of the kit's features and body frame, history of the unit, Zero-System, cross sections, story digest of the "Gundam W Endless Waltz" OVA series, and a product catalog of past plastic kit releases related to the "Gundam Wing" series. The second is the Construction Manual that details each assembly step with easy-to-follow diagrams. Most text is in Japanese.
Be sure to set aside several long nights to build this complex kit. As its "Skill Level 4" rating above indicates, it is not recommended for beginner modelers.
