MG MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) Ver. 2.0

The MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type is an experimental Mobile Suit created by Zeonic Company in the competition to create a new generation of Mobile Suits for The Principality of Zeon. Despite losing this race to the MS-09R Rick Dom, the MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type eventually saw further development while Zeon scrambled to develop and manufacture the beam weapon-equipped MS-14A Gelgoog. A total of four MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type’s found their way into the hands of Zeon’s most powerful Aces, including the famous Johnny Ridden. The Zaku II High Mobility Type improves many aspects of the original MS-06F Zaku II design, pushing the platform to its limit with added thrusters and propellant tanks throughout the Mobile Suit. Initial concepts of the Zaku II High Mobility Type would’ve allowed the Mobile Suit to utilize handheld beam weaponry but never came to fruition.

Included alongside the MG Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) for accessories:

• 120mm Zaku Machine Gun
• H&L-SB25K/280mmA-P Zaku Bazooka
• H&L-GB05R/360mm Giant Bazooka
• Heat Hawk
• 1/100 Johnny Ridden Figure

Articulation –

The MG Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) borrows most of its construction from the previously released MG MS-06J Zaku II, featuring a complete inner frame loaded with surface detail and supported by an array of polycaps! The model features double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The MG Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) provides an efficient method for recreating the Mobile Suit’s heat piping. This technology drastically reduces the hassle of attaching each armored ring without sacrificing color accuracy. This model also features a functioning cockpit hatch that will reveal the 1/100 scale Johnny Ridden seated within!

Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –

All four MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Types featured a head-mounted blade antenna. These antennas are entirely decorative, unlike other Mobile Suits that use them to distinguish commander-type units. The MG Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) includes the 120mm Zaku Machine Gun as its primary weapon. This weapon features a removable magazine for some awesome reloading action! The MG Zaku II High Mobility Type (Johnny Ridden Custom) also sorties with the AH&L-SB25K/280mmA-P Zaku Bazooka and the H&L-GB05R/360mm Giant Bazooka for additional firepower.
