Yeah it's solely just the normal "red zaku" version of his mech before all the mods and shit. The anniversary and "origin" versions. Targets in my area are clogged with the 40th ones and hobby lobby is clogged with the other. There's normal green versions of them that apperently exist but they never show up on shelves and only ever appear online for like double or triple the price. I'm guessing something similar to what's happening with target exclusive NECA stuff where the employees are just flooding the shelves with the red ones and flipping the standard ones for nuts prices on ebay.If they're the 40th anniversary ones, I can understand why. They aren't models of Char's Zaku II - they're just Zaku II J's in red with a commander antenna. Great if you just wanted a red Zaku II J that will never go as fast as it's supposed toI bought one after seeing the prototype photos and wasn't disappointed at all by the build. I don't know if releasing it properly in green would help, but it would make sense to some people. Yes, Gunpla is getting very scarce and expensive on our end if you are looking for certain kits. Look up a 1/144 Hildolfr on Amazon.
I'm curious about Gunpla stock and price in Japan. Also, I'm curious about what Bandai is doing. Hopefully something good?Because MS IGLOO isn't mentioned often.
The weird tiny "gframe" kits I've been finding on occasion are a special kind of hell online. They're fucking price hiked on online stores tot he point some places are charging $80. lowest price I've seen for them online is $40 and with prices like that you'd think it'd be like some super exclusive rare thing that was shitcanned 20 years ago but no it's just literally smaller scale gundams with a weird manner of construction compared to the other kits.
Speaking of Char's zaku that reminds me once again about the one that I bought from a hobby shop used as a kid that had a fucking amazing paintjob. It's been somewhere in the storage nightmare that is the basement more than a decade and I'm hoping it's not gotten moldy or something lmao I need to go digging for it some day. Not sure what exact version of the custom zaku it is but it's got fuckyou large shoulderpads. It's definitely going to be caked with dust if I find it down there.
EDIT: I can't fucking find the char mobile suit the old one I own is though I fucking know I've seen it before. Closest thing I can find is the "geloog" but that's not it at all and it's way too smooth to be. It's got the normal zaku head and body but it's beefier and has shoulderpads somewhat similar to the geloog but more greebly
