Bandai's Perfect Grade Zaku makes for the ideal companion to the previously released Perfect Grade RX-78. This iteration of the kit is molded in the iconic red color scheme of Char Aznable's Zaku from the series. Additionally, it features a distinct backpack unit and leg thruster units compared to the previously released green Zaku.

While the Zaku may not offer as many intricate gimmicks as the Gundam kit, it still boasts a plethora of enjoyable features: fully-articulated hands, a movable and illuminating camera eye (requiring two LR43 watch batteries, sold separately), operable hatches throughout the body (totaling 20 locations), and inner detailing that matches the exceptional quality of the Gundam kit, including 24 moving hydraulic dampers. The kit also includes the Zaku machine gun and "heat hawk" axe weapon. Upon completion, the kit stands at an impressive 30cm tall!
