This one, I recall buying in a small toy store in Kyoto, Japan. This was my very first Gundam. I grew to love this series immediately as there were so many different mecha (compared to Macross). I don’t recall seeing the Zakus at the time but they may have been in the unfamiliar-to-me-at-the-time or HCM format rather than a toy like this one. I have also placed its replacement – the 12″ Deluxe Nu Gundam from Char’s Counterattack next to it as comparison. I also have a small booklet that I purchased from Kinokuniya book store. I might also have a VHS tape as well. You can now watch episodes on Youtube.

It is hard to find this robot on the web. I finally found it on the Popy’s Best Catalog and he has a brother too! Its the Deluxe MSZ-006 1-100 scale perfect detailed super heavy version. Whew, that’s a mouthful!
I am surprised this robot isn’t terribly expensive on ebay….he must not get a lot of love.
