The two-handed firing pose with the Zaku Machine Gun looks natural too.

It's 100% identical to the Zeon type kit — the only difference is the molded color.

Proportions go to the HGUC, no contest!

Straight build

Following the HGUC Zaku II F2 Zeon type with its clean, quality build, the E.F.S.F. type naturally got a release as well. However, the runners and parts layout are completely unchanged — it's purely a molded color swap. With the MG F2, there were at least some minor differences between the Zeon and E.F.S.F. types in the backpack and accessories, so this feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. It would've been nice to have at least a little something to set them apart.

Just like the Zeon type, the proportions are outstanding as you'd expect from a modern kit, and despite the average articulation, it pulls off some seriously impressive action poses. The joint strength is nice and tight throughout, and overall this kit is a total winner in terms of feel and style.

Sure, it's a simple color variant kit, but it's fun enough to build multiple times that it's easy to recommend to both beginners and veterans alike — this one belongs in the best of the HGUC family. :-)
