Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS Company HOBBY Division has announced the latest plastic model kit product from the Gundam peripheral project "Gunpla-kun" (ガンプラくん), the "1/1 Char Zaku-kun DX Set," scheduled for release in June 2025.
The protagonists of "Gunpla-kun" are the Gunpla models produced at Bandai's Shizuoka factory. One early morning, a mysterious light suddenly emanated from the production line, and unknown Gunpla runners were born from it. These include the most famous RX-78-2 Gundam, MS-06 Zaku II... and many other Mobile Suits that appeared in the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, adopting a unique two-head-tall cartoon style, conveying the joy of building Gunpla through cute designs and stories.
The "1/1 Char Zaku-kun DX Set" is assembled using multi-color molded parts. Once completed, it stands approximately 8 cm tall and perfectly recreates the cute, slender two-head-tall proportion. The neck, wrists, and legs feature simple movable joints, and the head's mono-eye camera also has a movable mechanism.
Accessories include a Zaku Machine Gun, Zaku Bazooka, and Heat Hawk, which can be equipped in both hands for play. Furthermore, the product also includes a "runner-style display base," allowing the Char Zaku-kun body and its various weapons to be disassembled and attached to the runner, recreating its adorable unassembled form as seen in the series.
