It's been a good year so far for Gundam Modellers. Bandai's Gunpla 30th Anniversary campaign has seen some stellar releases and now we are being treated to the Extra Finish Version of the Perfect Grade Zaku II! Molded in a special finish that really gleams under lighting this Zaku II release is identical to the original kit released in 1999 and features fully-articulated hands, a moving and illuminating camera eye (requires two LR43 watch batteries, sold separately), operable hatches all over the body (20 locations), and inner detail at the same, amazing level as that of the Gundam kit (including 24 moving hydraulic dampers). Includes the Zaku machine gun and "heat hawk" axe weapon. When completed, the kit stands 30cm tall and weighs about 500g.
Also available in Extra Finish is the RX-78-2 (linked below).
