Together with SD Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam

Together with the Zapper Zaku released in the SD Gundam Force series.

This kit is the Zapper Zaku Heavy Armed Type from the SD Gundam Force series. A standard Zapper Zaku was released separately as part of the SD Gundam Force lineup, while this kit belongs to the BB Senshi original lineup. True to BB Senshi fashion, it's an upgraded take on the Zapper Zaku with even more weapons thrown in.

The weapons include a gatling gun, tomahawk, and rifle. The gatling gun connects to a rotating plate on the waist, so it can be mounted on the back or swung around to the front. The tomahawk can be stored on the back of the left shoulder, and the head cover can be pulled down in front of the eyes. The limbs are connected with ball-joint polycaps, giving it nice flexible articulation — though the inner sides of the arms do show some pretty noticeable hollowing.

Anyway, compared to the simple snap-together SD Gundam Force Zapper Zaku, this is a massive upgrade in terms of joints and color separation, and the added gatling gun makes it look even cooler. If you're a Gundam Force fan, this is a must-have BB Senshi kit to grab alongside the Heavy Weapon Captain Gundam. :-)
