Together with the No Grade 1/144 Slash Zaku Phantom released in 2005.
The Slash Zaku Phantom was never released as a 1/100 or HG — only the No Grade 1/144 was ever put out.

This kit is the MG Slash Zaku Phantom (Yzak Jule Custom), released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. The main body shares the same construction as the previously released standard retail MG Gunner Zaku Warrior Lunamaria Hawke Custom, with the only difference being that the shields are now attached to both shoulders. Along with the molded color change, new weapons have been added in the form of the Hydra Gatling Beam Cannon and the Falx G7 Beam Axe.

So all the features of the main body are identical to the original kit, MG Gunner Zaku Warrior Lunamaria Hawke Custom and it delivers the same overall hefty proportions and excellent articulation. The joint strength in particular is very solid, so even with the large backpack and weapons added, it holds poses nice and firmly.

The Hydra Gatling Beam Cannon added as the new backpack moves flexibly in all directions. It does shift the center of gravity quite a bit toward the back, but thanks to the kit's sturdy joints, standing upright is no problem at all. The new Falx G7 Beam Axe also locks in well with the palm pegs and holds firmly in hand — you can even fold the tips together to use it as a single-bladed axe. And by swapping out the center section and folding it up, it can be stored on the rear skirt as well.

So while the main body is essentially just a color variant kit, the new backpack and weapons are what make it stand out. It's a pretty obscure unit that never got a 1/100 or HG release, but it's made its MG debut proudly as the very first Club G Variation. Either way, the build quality is solid and reliable, so if you're into hefty, flashy kits, this one looks like a pretty fun item to pick up. :-)
