Always on the Front Lines, Always the First to Fall... Robot Spirits Side MS - RMS-106 Hi-Zack E.F.F. Type

RMS-106 Hi-ZackHI-Zack

After the end of the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon was defeated, and its MS development technical team was absorbed by the Earth Federation Forces and Anaheim Electronics. The MS-06 Zaku II series, manufactured by the Zeon forces during the One Year War, was renowned for its high versatility and reliability, earning it the moniker "the MS." Consequently, the Federation Forces recognized the immense potential of this mobile suit and decided to integrate their own technology for its modification, entrusting Anaheim Electronics with its development. Inheriting the fundamental concepts of the Zaku II series and incorporating the design philosophy of the Federation Forces' GM series, the modified unit—the RMS-106 High Mobility Zaku (Hi-Zack)—achieved exceptional versatility and productivity, serving as a pioneer in post-war new MS development.

The articulation is, as always, exceptionally good. Given its straightforward design, QC issues are minimal. The paintwork is, of course, a "full plastic feast" (meaning mostly unpainted plastic), and without any surface treatment, it gives a very "plasticky" impression. If you have the time to panel line, apply decals, and add a matte topcoat, the results will be even better! Additionally, the gate marks are slightly noticeable... Ultimately, the Hi-Zack EFF Ver. has rarely seen releases outside of model kits, so its mere existence is a major selling point for collectors. Simply playing with the included effect parts makes it worth the price!

In short, whether you're a dedicated Gundam enthusiast or a connoisseur of high-quality toys, the Hi-Zack is a must-have!
