@@MechaGaikotsu It's mostly what you'd expect from a kit from the 90s. A notable thing about it is that there are decals that are pre-printed on the parts directly. Which helps since all the stickers for mine have long since fallen off. There are also a lot of seam lines on this one that are very obvious. That might turn off a lot of people. The polycaps for the wings of mine have also loosened enough that the wings kind of droop while in MS if I don't secure them with some tape. Articulation is also very stiff since the torso needs to be a solid piece to facilitate the transformation of the Wave Rider mode. All in all, pretty good kit. If you have a 2.0 or one of the Z-Plus models, then those would pose a lot better. My only real disclaimer is that mine is proper *old* old as I got it way back in 2000 so a lot of it has worn down. If you can find one, just note that the stickers may not work anymore because of the age.

For those wondering why this kit doesn't have the detailed look that is commonly associated of Ver. Ka. kits, as well as having a deeper chest armor and smaller wings compared to other MG Zeta Gundam kits, this is because Katoki aimed this kit to be as show accurate as possible

i adore your long , detail vids .not only show the whole progress it's also ez for viewers like me to take a full loook of the kit

I’m glad you still remember about the vortex generators, i’ve pointed it out to other people but it seems like they have not really cared, but i’m glad you do

I love the new worktable set up. The vibe feels so professional, the colors, the hi-res video, it all works together nicely 👍

I am hoping with this out, they do a remake of the Zeta plus. They mention the Zeta plus in the Katoki interview. It ll probably be P-Bandai but id be willing to pay that price

I always love the Katoki designs and seeing the zeta as a ver ka kit is beautiful.

really looking forward to see a comparison with the previous 2.0 MG kit

Take a shot every time you hear Mecha says "Absooolutely".

I just picked this up from my local hobby lobby for like $40. I’m loving the build so far

I'm very pleased and surprised to hear that its feels "rock solid" given just how many moving parts are in it and just how complicated a transformation it has to be able to do. I am curious if it maintains that after going through the transformation and back.

I like these type of reviews @MechaGaikotsu you should make more reviews like this when it comes to mgs

Fun fact, if you look at the line art for the Zeta gundam it shows the white on the thumb and palm of the hand.

Best Gundam of all Gundams. Peak of the peak Gundam design. Love it!❤ thanks for the video!

The zeta we've all been waiting for

Beautiful kit I've got it along with the ZZ, RX78, and Nu waiting to be built. Doubt it'll happen but I wouldn't mind a Ver. Ka of the Victory, and maybe the Turn A.

After having over 60 Gunpla this is actually My first Zeta. Also the best! I love it a lot.

What I want to know and see in a review about this kit?? *EVERYTHING.*

I will get this for my B-day and paint it too, it will be the very first mg I paint so wish me luck!

The perfect Zeta imo is the Zeta that has the looks of the RG and the build & overall structure of the Ver Ka.

This one's my first love for gundam, it always be one of my favourites. Really glad they made the ver. Ka. Now excuse me, gotta go to buy it.

Chefs kiss 🤌

I have this kit in the box, and I'm planning on building with little to few modifications in the paint job. I want to keep the transformation from mobile suit to wave shooter, and adding LED lights may impede the kit from doing so.

why do i feel lust to this kit now?

Zeta Gundam is my favorite Gundam. I might fork out the money for this

I can't wait to see you transform the Zeta

Yep, definitely want a comparison. I actually like the 2.0 quite a lot, it's a bit of a must-have kit if you want to try a little bit of everything that gunpla has to offer. I have no doubt that it's mechanically superior in every way, but I'm not too sure about the appearance. I think the shoulders look narrower and kind of pushed forward so it looks like a kid trying to look tough. The ver ka changes are a matter of taste - I like my very chunky Mk II and Zeta, and Katoki likes his slimmed down suits and hanging breast vents. I do like that the wings aren't a massive brick though. It's hard to say, I might prefer this one in person, I might not.

Katoki gave Zeta justice after the hand grenade rg and neutral Mg v2 and Hg

Pre-ordered mine the second I heard of it. I'm just waiting to see it.

Would you be able to show a transformation of just the frame? I think that would be a good example of how solid the frame is and what suits would we see using it

Cant wait to see them full review. I gotta say thou man, whats up with the finger claws. Dont those things they in the way our building? Hahaha

This is not related to the kit itself but just a quick question, where did you get that runner holder I recently got one of those racks for runners and it was completely useless, but that holder might actually help. I don't have that much space on my table which is why I am looking for something like this.

Just bought mine from newtype as soon as they came in stock.

Great video as usual! I would love in your actual review to compare it over the years to the other Zetas (not sure if you have the 1.0 but the 2.0/RG at least) and how they compare/changed over the years! It would be neat to see just how much bandai has improved/changed gimmicks and how they assembled their gunpla before. So far this kit is looking mighty fine. It's too bad Mg releases have basically slowed down to a halt.

i just got back from buying FM aerial and MG zeta ver ka, kinda excited to build those two on weekends !

I never built a Ver Ka before because I heard they are either bad or too complicated, but I'm definitely gonna get this kit!

ZakuAurelius has exactly this up. He built the 1.0 and 2.0 before he built this, and has them standing side by side on a turn table at the end. But he only does the side-by-side detail comparison with the 2.0. There's also a few other comparison vids out there.

I wonder how does the Ver. Ka compares to the Ver. 2 before it.

ZakuAurelius' review covers that. the 2.0 is more anime-accurate and the wing binders are bigger. in the end, it comes down to personal preference. also the Hyper Mega Launcher from the 2.0 doesnt work on the Ver Ka straight out of the box.

I have to wait to get mine… HLJ wasn’t getting enough stock for all the preorders. But that’s fine. I’ll patiently wait until I can add this to my Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 and Gundam Mk II 2.0.

I want to know if the Mega Launcher from the 2.0 can be attached to it in Waverider mode, and what modifications if any are needed to do that.

Mecha Gaikotsu you should try another kits like Trailblazer, Genesis or Ruling. Promise you'll loved them.😊

The white on thumb is anime accurate. They just didn’t do that on previous kit. Same thing with PG Astray having white and red on finger while MG doesn’t bc technology weren’t there

Oh man, my favorite gundam lookin so damn good. I hope my pre-order went through and I don't have to wait ages cus I need this thing on my shelf. Hyaku shiki so lonely up there.

…..WOWZA…. I knew it was going to be good, but WOWZA. It looks so gorgeous!! I TRULY WANT IT. Get this, and the ZETA 2.0 to leave it Transformed in its JET FORM, and it would be a masterpiece of a Diorama!

that thing is MASSIVE!

Do you have the two revive hguc, wanted to know which it is closer to in terms of proportions

I love the huge bell-bottom/MegaManX legs😍😍

This is what i've been looking for Zeta is No.1 Gundam out there

Bandai: people are less interested in gundam models backorder: years long

The cockpit seat can rotate so kamille will always sit upright in both ma and ms mode

i really hope theres a 3rd party metal frame replacement kit for this MG soon. would rather be safe than sorry with any moving/transforming parts, especially on a Zeta

How the articulation and are there any falling parts or is it a solid kit like brick are there any parts that needs extra concern for breakage?

Granted it is already built, but i did this with the MG barbatos' silver piston ends: you would be left with really bad unpainted nub marks and using a chrome paint pen makes it nearly invisible. So i highly recommend using it if there are any unsightly edges.

thinking about getting the ZZ and Zeta ver ka, so i just want to see how they would look together in the review :D

Don't have the 1.0 to compare but i do have almost every 2.0 even the zeta karaba trio to comapre this to...the design of the ver ka is much more refined and you can definitely tell that its a lot more easy to move and transform into a wave rider. The amount of articulation this has in order for it to move like this and even transform is really an advancement for the zeta line. I would say that its really now the same and solid kit like the RX 78-2 3.0 and ZZ VerKa 😊

Almost looks like matte finish, i just hope it doesnt loose each time

The lack of a stand in this kit saddens me 😢

One thing I would like you to maybe see or cover in your review is how it compares to other ver ka kits like the ZZ gundam and other transforming mobile suits in the line.

Nice build video awesome mode kit 👍👍👍

Satisfaction in completion.. whenever i finish building transformable plamo..😏

Definitely need a comparison with the Zeta 2.0 in terms of details and articulation

If you have the time in the review, a comparison between the 2.0 and the ver ka for the main aspects would be great.

Cool looking kit

I’d love to see this next to the zeta and hyaku shiki 2.0!

I wanted to ask, after building the kit, do the hands have any issues holding the weapons?

In my country right now, the preorder for the Zeta ver ka is the same price as getting an original MG Zeta 2.0. I've had the 2.0 in my cart since your review on it and kept hesitating to pay the scalper prices for it, but now I've bit the bullet and done the preorder for this. Once scalpers get a hold of it and realize the prices are the same, they will double the ver ka to like $200

Would love to see a size comparison between some of the ver ka kits you have, curious about how big the Zeta is compared to the rest.

I want to know if it has any tight joint like the wing zero ver ka.

I just picked this kit up at Hobby Lobby. It was 40% off.

it's also rare you reviewing ver ka kit.

Can the hands of the zeta 2.0 and the head from the Zaku 2.0 fit in the wrists and on the neck respectively

How did you get yours because it’s back ordered on HLJ

Is the kit stable? If you do the classic shake test how does it perform? Many thanks c:

Ughhh, I need this kit in my life

Can you use the 2.0 Hyper Mega Launcher with the ver. Ka? How about when it's transformed, can you put it on the bottom like the 2.0?

How does the transformation to wave rider mode hold up?

What clippers are you using to make it so clean without filling? Love your channel btw I watch everything!

I love your videos 🔥🔥 what nippers do you use?

i hope the pg unleashed zeta will follow in the future. it'll be a monumental task

You build the same way I do. From the feet upwards!

quick question but how do all the joints feel?

Does the beam rifle accept the beam saber effect part? And can the Zeta hold it like a lance?

Can you attach the Hyper mega launcher of Zeta 2.0 in the Zeta Ver.ka in waverider mode?

Could the master grade zeta 2.0s weapons be used on the McMaster grade ver kas?

I got the 2.0 a day a before the Ver. Ka was announced and originally wanted to stick with it cause i initially didn't like the look if the Ver. Ka. My opinion turned around 180° i need this so bad now lmao I love the Zeta Gundam so much

Of course they had to delay this from February to late April release when I went to Japan in late March! I was hoping to bring this home with me 😭😩

Ahh MG Zet... OOOooooo Kill Team! Even shinier boxes!

As someone who doesn't have the 2.0 Zeta I'd love to see a comparison so I can decide whether to get this or the 2.0.
