1-72 Sazabi Evolved Ver.

Saw this on G System Shop about a week ago, and spent that much time pulling my jaws together before being able to write a bit on it. I guess anyone who's a fan of Char and Sazabi will go nuts for this kit. The brilliant people at G System Shop redefined Sazabi, thus the title of ‘Evolved Ver.’ Absolutely fabulous, I admire the original Sazabi in Char’s Counter Attack very much, but this new design, with all the extra details is even better!

Since it's a resin kit, people who buy this model will have to do their own painting. That's right; Sazabi's crimson appearance will depend on your modeling skills. At the scale of 1-72, Sazabi would be about the heights of a typical PG model, but the size of the big guy will definitely blow your PG Strike or Gundam RX-78-2 away with ease. The size of the waist and shoulder armors plus the shield is pretty much unrivaled. Also, there is a complete set of inner frames which are so detailed it’s pretty much a PG standard.

Details of the body and rear waist armor. The design is better than the MG version


Helmet can be lifted, revealing the cockpit, and the funnels can be moved individually, cool!


Super-duper new rifle! The shield's design is pretty groovy too
