The HGUC line has come a long way since 2000.
This is a kit from the second wave of HGUC kits. Despite that, the Zaku III has a wide range of movement, can hold it's weapons w/o any issue, and stand up with no problem fear of falling over. The small beam cannon gimmick in the front waist pieces is retained from the previous Mashymre Custom released a year before this one. No rotating mono-eye since this is a pretty old kit but it does include a sticker for the eye. It comes with a beam rifle and heat bayonet (the same type included in the Rjarja kit), and a single piece beam saber that has to be painted. Painting is straight forward and most parts are molded in color except for the vernier interiors. Considering the age of this kit, I still highly recommend it especially if you're looking to complete your Axis-Neo Zeon line of MS.
