The Zaku I - MS-05 Zaku I [Kycilia's Forces] is the 18th release in the HG Origin lineup. The kit's construction is a clever combination of parts from previously released HG Zaku I kits — for example, it pairs the bazooka from the Denim/Slender unit with the shield from the Zaku I [Char Aznable]. (Each of those parts was missing from the other kit.)

As you'd expect from the HG Origin Zaku series, this is a high-quality kit with excellent articulation and joint strength. That said, since it's a 100% color variant, there's nothing structurally new whatsoever — though the molded colors have shifted to a heavier, deeper tone, which does give it a fresh look in its own way. 

Anyway, since there isn't much that's genuinely new to go over, all you really need to check in this review is the updated color scheme and weapon loadout. :-)
