MG MS-06R-2 Zaku 2

The BANDAI HOBBY MG MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) Ver. 2.0 is a 1/100 scale Master Grade plastic model kit from the Mobile Suit Gundam series. This kit represents the experimental Mobile Suit developed by Zeonic Company for the Principality of Zeon, specifically the unit piloted by the renowned ace, Johnny Ridden. The MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type was designed to push the Zaku II platform to its limits, featuring enhanced thrusters and propellant tanks throughout the mobile suit to improve speed, acceleration, and mobility.

Key features of this Master Grade kit include a complete inner frame with extensive surface detail and supported by polycaps, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses. It boasts double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs for enhanced articulation. The model incorporates a "monoeye" camera movement gimmick, enabling adjustment of the eye position. An updated power pipe assembly system streamlines the construction of the heat piping, reducing the complexity of attaching individual armored rings while maintaining color accuracy. The cockpit hatch is functional and can open to reveal a 1/100 scale Johnny Ridden pilot figure seated inside. The kit also features redesigned thruster housing and shoulder armor, and highly detailed leg molds. All MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Types, including this custom unit, feature a head-mounted blade antenna.
