The MS-06S Zaku II is an upgraded variation of the original MS-06 Zaku II intended for use by the Principality of Zeon’s Commanders. This all-red MS-06S Zaku II belongs to Major Char Aznable, famed ace pilot and future leader of the Neo Zeon Army. The MS-06S Zaku II is almost identical to its mass production counterpart, aside from the commander-type antennae protruding from its head. Internally, the MS-06S Zaku II features an updated powerplant for increased performance, providing its skilled pilot with unrivaled maneuverability. Char Aznable made many notable appearances in the MS-06S Zaku II during the One Year War, establishing himself as The Red Comet of the Principality of Zeon during the Battle of Loum. During this engagement, Char destroyed numerous Federation battleships with the MS-06S Zaku II, setting the groundwork for decades, if not centuries, of wars fought with Mobile Suits.
Included alongside the PG Char’s Zaku II for accessories:
- 120mm Zaku Machine Gun
- Heat Hawk
Articulation –
The PG Char’s Zaku II borrows most of its construction from the previously released PG MS-06F Zaku II, showcasing the in-universe lineage that connects these two Mobile Suits. This model features double-jointed limbs and swiveling thighs, providing a wide range of motion to create dynamic poses. The PG Char’s Zaku II also features several opening hatches that reveal the Mobile Suit’s inner workings and the 1/60 scale Char Aznable seated inside! The PG Char’s Zaku II’s heat piping features individually molded armor rings encasing a small spring, providing an excellent representation without compromising the model’s posability. Bandai provided a thorough sheet of marking stickers to give the PG Char’s Zaku II a realistic appearance right out of the box!
Weapons and Other Notable Attributes –
The PG Char’s Zaku II includes the iconic 120mm Zaku Machine Gun as its primary weapon. Builders can remove the drum magazine from this weapon for some awesome reloading action! This model also includes a Heat Hawk for close-quarters engagements. This weapon comes molded with the proper purple-colored handle and can attach to the Mobile Suit’s side skirt for storage. The PG Char’s Zaku II features an LED monoeye requiring two CR1220 batteries for activation.
