Key Features
This set offers a variety of weapons and customization options for both models. A key feature of the Zaku II F-type (LeSean) is the ability to adjust the mono-eye's position via a sliding hatch on the back of the head. Furthermore, its leg joint pipes include articulated movable shafts, allowing for dynamic movement and more realistic poses. The armament includes a Zaku machine gun, Heat Hawk, a new Zaku bazooka, and leg missile pods. Both the Heat Hawk and Zaku machine gun can be attached to the back of the Mobile Suit using joint parts.
The Unidentified Zaku II (LeSean) is recreated with new parts that capture its distinctive appearance from the series, including unique shoulder shields, spiked armor, and additional armor pieces that give it a robust look. It also features a missile pod on the right forearm and a large, track-reinforced shield on the left. To deliver a premium experience, the set contains metal parts for the chain and a vinyl cover for the left shoulder joint of the Unidentified Zaku II, as well as water-transfer decals with the Red Wolf squadron's insignia and numbering.
Zaku II F-Type (LeSean Custom)
This mass-produced mobile suit, developed by the Zeon Army, has seen limited combat and features only minor modifications. Its most distinctive characteristic is the unique color scheme on its shoulder armor, which earns it the codename "Red Wolf Charlie."
Unidentified Zaku II (LeSean)
A mass-production Zaku II customized for LeSean, this unit is designed with reinforced defenses. It includes enhanced shoulder armor, a shield on the left arm, and external tracks for added protection. Strategically placed materials around the mobile suit serve as protective reinforcements, intended to shield it from even minor beam weapon attacks.
