Maybe they wanted to avoid the "recycled molded colors" criticism...
Compared to Rey's unit, some pretty nice stickers have been added to the shield and legs.

Still great leg articulation

The Blaze Wizard fully opened from the back looks awesome as always.

Let me do the talking with my back too!

Comparison with Rey's Blaze Zaku Phantom. The structure is 100% identical — only the molded colors differ.

At least the Heine custom gets some extra stickers!

Just one thing... the coloring style of the chest ducts on both sides is a bit different.
Rey's unit uses a light purple as the base with white stickers applied over the outer surface,
whereas Heine's unit is just plain solid white throughout.

Already the third time with the Blaze pack...

At first glance the Blaze pack molded colors all look the same...
but interestingly, the vernier sections are each slightly different.
1. Rey's Blaze Zaku Phantom: red
2. Athrun's Blaze Zaku Warrior: bright orange
3. Heine's Blaze Zaku Phantom: a slightly deeper orange.

This is the fourth 1/100 Zaku Warrior release.

Together with the Heine custom Gouf Ignited released just before it.
Goes without saying, but the coloring and molded colors are identical.

Following the white Blaze Zaku Phantom (Rey's unit), the orange Blaze Zaku Phantom for Heine has now been released. As you'd expect from the lore, it's a typical color variation kit — 100% identical structure and runners to the existing Blaze Zaku Phantom. For a more detailed breakdown, check out the 1/100 Rey's Blaze Zaku Phantom review.

There's nothing major to add since there are no special changes or additions... but the color shift does make it feel quite different. It's got this bold, intense vibe to it. The molded color quality is excellent, and it's a perfect match for the HG Gouf Ignited Heine custom in terms of color. One thing — maybe to dodge the "lazy recolor" complaints — some decent-looking stickers have been added to the shield and legs. Thanks to those, it does look a bit flashier than Rey's unit.

It's already the fourth 1/100 Zaku Warrior variation... but the kit itself is such a quality product that it's still hard to complain ^^; Good articulation, solid joints, great presence, clean detail... if you look at it positively, you could think of it as expanding your options depending on the color scheme you prefer. At least the kit quality is guaranteed.
