HG 1/144 Blaze Zaku Phantom (Gao Gao / TT Hongli) Review Part 3

This is the last part of the review of HG 1/144 Blaze Zaku Phantom from Gao Gao. After we know the details of each part we can conclude whether this kit is good or not.

Mold

The mold are good enough. There is no excess plastic on this kit.

Color

The color representation is very good. But darker colors are relatively difficult to work with.

Detail

Some details are not intact and panel lines are wider than the original.

Snapfit

Some parts have tight snapfit but that’s only minor.

Sticker

The sticker is bad. I applied the eye sticker with the help of glue.

Face mask

The eye looks surprised because of the helmet mold.

Stiffness

Everything is solid and stiff except the hoses on the legs.

Finish

The finish is doff which is suitable for a Zaku

Articulation

The details of the articulation has been discussed on the part 2, so overall articulation is normal.

Playability

It has a lot of weapons and gimmicks. We can use any weapon freely. The backpack also very playable.

So this is the score I give for each aspect.
