Weapons/Other Gimmicks
- The hands are swappable.

- Zaku Mariner can be built into a default or with the additional Gunpla-only original parts.
- Magnet Harken can optionally attach onto the left arm to form attack mode.
- Zaku Mariner can mount onto any Action Bases (sold separately).
Tips & Tricks
- For better results, most/some of the details are needed to be applied/panel-lined with Gundam Markers and/or Mr. Color paints.
- Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied paint and decals, if any.
- As the mono-eye is not poseable, applying the mono-eye sticker is a one-way method, so choose wisely.
Notes & Trivia
- The Gunpla is molded in Gundam Unicorn colors, despite being marketed as a Gundam ZZ kit.
- Like several Gunpla kits, the Zaku Mariner had only one right trigger hand.
Variants
Italicized items are exclusives.
Reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. Later reprints from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo.
