The Zee Zulu has been released as a variation of the HGUC Geara Zulu. As you can see, it's an aquatic MS equipped with flippers — while the base body is the same as the Geara Zulu, it also comes with additional gear like the Iron Nail, underwater tanks, and propulsion units.

The added Iron Nail is well-reproduced as an articulated piece, and a storage case for the Beam Machine Gun is also included, so the overall recreation of the extra weapons is pretty solid. The flippers are also detachable, and they lock on nice and firmly when attached.

Since the Geara Zulu base body is already quite good quality, the Zee Zulu naturally delivers excellent quality above and beyond the basics — there's really not much to complain about with this kit. Above all, it's a great opportunity to get an aquatic MS (which you don't see very often) in a properly done kit, so if you're a fan of Universal Century designs, this is definitely one you won't want to miss. :-)
