Following the mass production type Zaku II, Char's Zaku II has also been released as a new-style BB Senshi SD kit. Naturally, it differs from the mass production type only in molded color and the addition of the head antenna. Though perhaps to set it apart a little, a beam bazooka not included with the mass production type has been added to Char's custom.

It may be a budget SD kit, but the molded colors are MG-level quality, so even a straight straight build looks pretty sharp. The added beam bazooka has decent detail too, though it's so large that it doesn't really lend itself to cool-looking poses. Everything else — the other weapons and the mono-eye rotation gimmick — is the same as the mass production type.

This is a kit that was obviously going to come out sooner or later, but the base body's proportions and overall quality are solid enough that it's genuinely fun to build alongside the mass production type in multiples. Along with the BB Senshi First Gundam, this is a must-have for any SD fan! :-)
