Hey /toy/, I wanted to ask a question regarding Gunpla model kits. I've always had a soft spot for the Zaku II design in particular (it helps green is my favorite color), and I've been looking at a few kits for it. In particular the HGGTO MS06C Zaku IIType C/Type C-5/ MS-06C-6/R6 Zaku II and the HGUC MS-06F Zaku II. I was wondering two things regarding these kits. One, what's the difference between the Type C Gundam the Origin Zakus? Two, of the names I've got listed, which is the best one to go for? Budget is rather slim at the moment, so I'm trying to decide

>One, what's the difference between the Type C Gundam the Origin Zakus
I own the Origin Zaku, and it's kinda lanky, with a tiny head. It has extra details on the sculpts, but I really don't care for the mold. I prefer the HGUC #40 over it, but there's a better Zaku coming out; the HGUC #241:

This one's based on the mold for the recent Char's Zaku, which is a really good build with several updates. It blends in nice with the HGUC #40 as well. It feels both bulky, and very articulated at the same time, and the cables on it are so much better.

How tall is this HGUC #241? I'm not as familiar with model kit scalings, but supposedly 1/144 is about 6 inches tall or so?

Around that height, yeah. Just pre-order it and wait for it to drop in the US.

>not going for the RG
Despite being an "early RG" it's the best Zaku in 144 scale IMO. I also hate when entire cables are pre-molded, the cables look so much better the way the RG does them
