Leg seals

Even the head gets seals~

This is the most heavily armed HGUC Zaku II out there.

— an interesting limited edition that includes every weapon from the original HGUC Zaku II lineup all in one kit as a bonus. :-)
The Magella Top cannon and Heat Hawk on the right are the ones that came with the HGUC Zaku II Garma Custom.

Even more seals added to the various weapons.

Thanks to the big molded color change and the massive amount of added seals, this thing really stands out from the crowd.

All 5 HGUC Zaku II variants — including the limited editions — assembled together!

Either way, this is the most luxurious of all the HGUC Zaku IIs. :-)

Straight-built state

Of the two MS IGLOO version Zaku II limited editions, this is the Semovente Corps Specification — the one done up in a yellowish desert color scheme. Like the other one, this kit is essentially the original HGUC Zaku II with a different molded color, but it's a bit more of a premium package compared to the other green MS IGLOO Zaku II limited edition.

The molded color is based on the Zaku that fought the Hildolfr in Episode 2 of MS IGLOO, done up in a desert combat color scheme. It reads less as yellow and more as a sandy tone. Along with this molded color change, there are two bonus options included: a massive sheet of seals, plus every single weapon from the HGUC Zaku II lineup all in one box.

The weapons included in the original HGUC Zaku II releases were distributed selectively through system injection.

- HGUC Zaku II Char Custom: Machine gun, bazooka, Heat Hawk
- HGUC Zaku II Mass Production Type: Machine gun, bazooka, Heat Hawk, missile pod
- HGUC Zaku II Garma Custom: Machine gun, bazooka, Heat Hawk 2 (large), Magella Top cannon

All those weapons that were spread across different releases via system injection are bundled together in this limited edition kit — machine gun, bazooka, missile pod, Heat Hawk 1, Heat Hawk 2 (large), and Magella Top cannon — all 6 weapons in one box.

The included seals are also roughly 6 times more than what came with the plain green MS IGLOO Zaku II. (View seals ) Of course, a lot of that is because there are duplicate markings so you can apply them separately to units 1 through 6, but either way you're getting a lot more stickers than the green MS IGLOO version.

So while it's not drastically different from the original Zaku II,

1. A clearly distinct desert-tone molded color
2. A complete Zaku kit with every weapon included
3. A massive pile of seals — you'll still have 70% left over even after you've put them all on

...all of that makes this a pretty generous and fun limited edition kit in its own right. The only catch is that no matter how good the contents are, it's a limited edition — so the price isn't exactly friendly.... ^^;
