Together with the similarly styled AG Gafran.

The 6th AG kit is the Zedas, similar in style to the Gafran. Just like the existing AG series concept, it's a kit with minimal articulation — only the head and shoulders move — but in return it holds a fixed pose with great proportions.

The overall parts volume is larger, so it looks like there's a bit more content than other AG kits, and the finished build does feel quite substantial. However, unlike the AG Gundam-type kits, there's no attention paid to color separation at all — the entire body is molded in a single dark gray tone, which is a bit of a letdown. The Gafran at least had two colors, and it really does feel like there's some preferential treatment going on in the AG series depending on whether it's a Gundam or non-Gundam kit.

Due to the design, the center of gravity tends to shift backward, making it a bit tricky to stand upright... but you can use the Zedas Sword stored on the butt as a stand instead. The Zedas Sword can also be removed and held in the hand to strike action poses.

It's a straightforward, easy build that goes together quickly — a solid enough kit — but it's an AG kit that leaves you wanting more in several ways due to the single-color molding. Even if it's not a Gundam-type mobile suit... it would've been so much better if they'd at least reproduced the lighter gray on the shoulders and parts of the body. :-)
