Kit Features & Gimmicks

Articulation

  • The head can swivel/tilt via a double-sided ball-joint neck.
  • The shoulder joints can swing frontward.
  • The arms can...
    • Swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
    • Raise horizontally.
  • The upper arms can rotate.
  • The elbow joints can only be bent up to 90 degrees.
  • The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
  • The waist can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint construction.
  • The front and side skirt armors can pivot to avoid interference with the leg articulation.
  • The hip joint axis can swing frontwards/backwards on one side.
  • The upper thigh joints can:
    • swing frontwards (and backwards in a limited extent) on a peg-and-socket joint.
    • raise horizontally.
    • rotate on each piece.
  • The knee joints can only be bent up to 90 degrees.
  • The ankles can pivot/tilt on a ball-and-socket/hinge joint.

Weapons/Other Gimmicks

  • The hands are swappable.
  • The weapons can only be wielded by their own respective hand parts.
  • 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.
