After looking thru the design changes by Katoki Hajime, the upcoming Master Grade Zeta Gundam Ver Ka. is a must have! #gundam #zeta #gunpla

6:32 the side skirting isn’t longer. They simply lowered it. In the 2.0 version these parts are topping right to the mid rift of the abdominal section while the Ver.Ka is set right at the base of it. His redesign definitely accentuates the similarities shared between the prototype Gundam and the mass production Zeta plus with the larger thrust nozzles as you guys pointed out.

I think something that isn’t thought about much also is Zeta and ZZ are through line( main series )Gundams just like RX-78. They both deserve the ver Ka treatment

After watching this video, I like the changes. They are very subtle and make what is already a sleek mobile suit even sleeker. It's like going from the Lamborghini Countach to the Lamborghini Diablo.

i'd say the biggest improvement to the looks is the shield. the ver ka shield now sits closer to the arm, so it doesnt look gaping and awkward like the 2.0. overall the ver ka seems to be more fuller than the 2.0 with the abundance of gray parts peeking out from underneath the outer armor
@josephlupo7259 Жыл бұрын
When it comes to the shield; part of the transformation is the shield collapsing and shorting to be used in shield mode. In the 2.0 photos, the shield is pictured extended, in wave rider mode. It's technically not pictured correctly, where the Ver Ka is right. The shield has been dramatically redesigned in the Ver. Ka, but I don't think they will end up being very different lengths when both are displayed correctly.

I'm surprised Bandai did not announce an MG XXXG-01W Wing Gundam EW Ver Ka (not even as a P-Bandai). Maybe next time? However, I will say that MG MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam Ver Ka was one kit that I predicted would be the Ver Ka and it is a huge improvement over the 2.0. It will look good next to the MG MSZ-010 ΖΖ Gundam Ver Ka. In terms of P-Bandai releases, I'm sure _at least_ Bandai will make a Mega Bazooka Launcher on add on set. Besides that I would guess maybe we would get a P-Bandai release for: MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam (Wave Shooter) Ver Ka MSZ-006-3A Zeta Gundam 3A Type Ver Ka MSZ-006-3B Zeta Gundam 3B Type Ver Ka MSZ-006-P2/3C Zeta Gundam P2/3C Type Ver Ka MSZ-006A1 Zeta Plus A1 Ver Ka MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam (Biosensor Image Color) Ver Ka MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam (RG Limited Color Ver.) Ver Ka On a related note, I feel like sooner or later, Bandai will 'complete' the Zeta series with: - MG RX-178 Gundam Mk-II [AEUG] Ver Ka - MG RX-178 Gundam Mk-II [Titans] Ver Ka - MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki Ver Ka

I'm finally able to buy an MG Ver Ka... this overview really helped convince me that it is worthwhile. There is ONE thing that I think I DON'T like and wasn't covered in the video... the overall size of the backpack compared to the anime. This is MUCH more evident in the waverider mode... but the "wings" of the Zeta and the backpack overall looks a bit too small proportionally. The nose and long rifle are all longer but the wings didn't get bigger to match that so they look a bit stubby. I'll probably repaint my MG 2.0 in Amuro 3A colors.

@Smilomaniac Жыл бұрын
Its visuals are interesting, sleeker and more clean (although I heavily dislike the bright yellow). From these comparison I definitely prefer the MG 2.0 for its 'superhero' proportions/stance and the RG for its details (although Katoki designs are known for having less greeble and more warning markings, so it's an unfair comparison). I like the feet and lower leg vents, the latter which remind me of the Gundam Alex. The Zeta for me has always looked like a weirdo in large part due to its narrow face, which Katoki has exaggerated even more. I don't know if that makes it better or worse just yet, I have to have the head in my hand and be able to see it from more angles. In the end what will make the difference for this kit isn't its looks, but how it functions mechanically and how reliably it transforms. If this is flawless, then it'll be a great kit no matter what we each think about how it looks. But I wish we got a Gundam Mk II instead of this :)

@scylla4342 Жыл бұрын
The reason I love Katoki's Nu and Sazabi because it turns the plain and generic "anime" look into something the very opposite of that. Now he's been doing these so-called anime accurate kits which makes the kit look plain as fuck and no detailed gimmicks whatsoever. The mechanism of this kit is probably the best that ever exists in gunpla to this day and time no denying on that, but more than anything surface details is my major force for this hobby, and this is probably why I kept disappointed on many kits nowadays
@NgocLinh-iv9cg Жыл бұрын
I dislike Nu because it does not stay faithful to the lore (only psychoframe around cockpit, no half-baked Unicorn wannabe transformation). You may be surprised, but Japanese people - the major consumers of gunpla would prefer the simple/anime accurate design than overblown detail on model kits. If you read Z ver.Ka manual interview, even Katoki and many development staffs also wanted to make it based on Kunio Okawara's design, the TV version. I have nothing agaisnt Nu & Sazabi, I just hope one day Bandai will make Nu & Sazabi ver2.0 with updated modern technology., not a full blow kit with unnecessary details.

@@NgocLinh-iv9cg If you want "anime style" kit then stick to the general MG and HG kits lmao. Ver. Ka line is literally started with Katoki's own take on RX-78 and it should be like that the whole time instead of forcing him to just make the just another plain looking "anime accurate" kit like you've already got on sooo many MG and HG kits. Doesn't matter who originally designed the kit if it's made under the "Ver. Ka" label it should always be Katoki's redesign/reimagination of the suit or else throw that "Ver. Ka." label to the trash can already

I don't think "hate" is the right word for this Ver Ka release. It's more of a "meh" and a shrugged shoulders. The worst the "hate" this got was that we have a 2.0 of this kit already, while plenty of other kits that don't or would benefit from having a Master Grade at all. On the other hand, the "hate" the Zero got was more of... annoyance I guess, in that G Self had won the poll and a Wing Custom, a kit that already technically existed, got the spot instead. I get less "hate" for this release, and more just a general apathy. While I bought the Zero Custom because I am a sucker for the Zero/Custom, I probably won't bother with this kit.

For most people (and I could be wrong) I don't think they're bashing this kit or even mad that it exists, its more like "This new Ver Ka looks awesome and better than the 2.0 in some ways, but the 2.0 is excellent and the Ver Ka should have been something else" A Ver Ka Zeta would have been awesome eventually, but there are so many other kits deserving of the Ver Ka retooling. Especially with how much time goes by between Ver Ka releases. I mean the next one is probably gonna be the Ariel since its the new Gundam anime. Ver Ka Barbatos would have been cool. Ver Ka Hyaku-Shiki even if sticking with the Zeta Gundam anime was the point. Either way, this new Zeta is pretty dope and I'll pick it up eventually.

Definitely recommend looking on the hobby next website cause it goes pretty in-depth in how they actually followed the line art from the anime as close as possible for the shapes. There's some additional details but this is wayyyy more accurate to the original design than the 2.0, the cockpit pointing down more that's in the line art so is the more stretched out head. Katoki even explains why he went the more anime accurate route this time around.
