This kit is the 1/144 Char's Z'Gok released based on the mass production Z'Gok, and it was released as a 100% pure color variation kit with no changed parts whatsoever. So since there's nothing new and it's just the same kit in different molded colors, for the structural details check out the 1/144 Mass Production Z'Gok review.

The molded color has that classic Char "delinquent sausage" look, giving off the same vibe as Char's Zaku and Gelgoog — still feels very candy-toy-ish, but that actually makes it feel right at home as an old-kit color scheme. Just like the 1/144 mass production Z'Gok, it makes a decent attempt at recreating the Z'Gok's unique joint structure, but the articulation still feels pretty stiff. I think you just have to appreciate it for how well it captures that crustacean-like sculpt.

Anyway, I think the real significance of this kit is that it completes the trio of Char's machines in 1/144 scale~ :-)   [ Updated at 2016.1.30 ]
