Review: HG MS-06 Zaku the Ground War Set - 81.7%

Well here it is. My first review. The reviews will be broken down into a number for categories and then given a grade from 1-10. After this review the reviews will have tons of Images and way more description. This one will not due to the fact that this kit is being built and is in various stages of being screwed up.

Kit: HG MS-06 Zaku the Ground War Set
Cost: $26.50
Detail: 8/10
Color: 6/10
Articulation: 7/10
Weapons: 10/10
Other Stuff: 10/10
Fun: 8/10
Overall: 81.7%

So lets begin.

For once what is on the box is in the box. I mean all of it. Including the explosions!!!

DETAIL:  8/10
With the actual Zaku you get what you would expect out of a HG kit. It looks fine but everything is kind of flat. When just OOB snapped together it does look pretty good. I would give the actual MS in this a 6 or so but the reason for the 8 is everything else. The tanks look amazing. For as tiny as the little dudes are they look good as well. Oh yeah, and the mono eye will move if you take the top of the head off.

COLOR:  6/10
The colors on the Zaku and not to bad. What you would expect and when snapped together it looks pretty good. The rest of the kit is completely grey. I think this is fine because I will be painting this anyway. Some People just want to put it together and make then a nice battle scene.

ARTICULATION:  7/10
It is not to bad but could be better. If you move the leg anywhere to much you will pop a skirt piece off. The tanks swivel and the gun barrels wiggle. The feet of the Zaku do some very strange things if you want them to but it is a Zaku and they are not the most mobile of the mobile suits anyway.

WEAPONS:  10/10
There are a lot of weapons with this kit. You get little missile pods (missiles are removeable), Heat hawk, bazooka, machine gun, 2x expoly beatin' sticks, gernades, and even rockes with smoke trails for the bazooka. That Zaku is packin'.

OTHER STUFF:  10/10
Again this is where this kit gets high marks.  It comes with 2x tanks, 2x Wappas, some dudes, explosions, and more hands than Lord Ganesh himself. All you need to make a diorama out of one box.

FUN:  8/10
Over all this kit is great. The Zaku is a little limited but who cares. It is tromping around shooting tanks. Not trying to kick a gundam in the head. All is here to make a cool diorama. All is even better because you can get this on the cheap. $26.50 on amazon right now.

Overall:  81.7%
This kit is fun and easy to build. A great place to start. It makes you paint, it looks good and it comes with a ton of stuff for a good price. I hope I can get my hand on the other ground wars kit and make a really cool scene.
