Cannon unit detail

The Big Gun is detachable.

Two types of hands are included.

OLD 1/100 MS-06K Zaku Cannon - It has a unique internal joint structure that allows the elbow to bend 90 degrees for gripping

It has a unique internal joint structure that allows the elbow to bend 90 degrees for gripping the Big Gun.

When not holding the Big Gun, the arm positioning looks a bit awkward. ^^;

Overall articulation is pretty much on par with previous kits.

Personally, I think the 1/100 Zaku Cannon is the best kit in the 1/100 MSV lineup. Just looking at the photos, it clearly has the best visuals in terms of proportions and color combination. In particular, compared to the 1/144 version, the two-handed Big Gun grip pose looks much more natural — that's a definite highlight.

The Big Gun parts can be attached and detached without any glue, and since it can also rotate sideways, you can pull off a side-firing pose just like in the review photos.

Overall articulation is pretty much on the same level as previous kits. The range of motion on the limbs is a bit limited, but there are internal joint parts added specifically to allow the elbow to bend 90 degrees for holding the Big Gun. (The catch is that other kits can already bend the elbow 90 degrees without those extra parts..)

And being an old kit, the hip joints still feel a bit loose — though compared to other 1/100 MSV kits, it does hold poses reasonably well. It's no match for the MG, of course, but in terms of looks it's big, colorful, and has decent proportions, making it the one 1/100 MSV kit I'd most recommend. :-)
