This MS was born from the collaboration between Bandai Namco Games, Bandai, Sunrise, and Banpresto for their "Harmony of Gundam" project, the Zaku I Sniper Type is a new Zeon Mobile Suit especially created for the new "MS Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield" arcade game.
Near the end of One Year War, many of MS-05B Zaku I were put into frontline by Zeon force. Although most are used without major modification, a handful of them are modified to used as sniper unit. MS-05L has improved monoeye sensor, with slight head design for better protection. In order to utilise the beam sniper rifle, Zaku I Sniper use special backpack with additional reactor. If you looked closer, you see a cable that connects the backpack to the sniper rifle like an energy source. On the right knee is kneepad which deploy when it enter firing position.
This 1/300 scale Zaku I Sniper MS-05L stands about 8 cm and it’s from S.O.G (Strategy of Gundam) Extra III (series 3). Mobile Suit Gundam Battlefield Record U.C.0081 (PS3) - MS-05L Zaku I Sniper Type...

ReplyDeletedemn, i wish i have some time to play with my still-not-finish-pasang gundam. hohoohho
Didn't know you have Gundam cos thought you are more into 12". You surprise me!
ReplyDeletesomehow this zaku look very weird especially the head...like a skull.
ReplyDeletehehe... this one is similar to a gashapon, but i guess is a trading figure ... however, why the illustration in the art of the box is so different to the figure ??? ... i mean, the illustration was a shock for me, but the figure doesn’t impact me in the same way... =/
ReplyDeleteOh I love the matt brown details and panel lines :D Not too bad for such a small figure ^^
ReplyDeleteZaku Sniper is cool, almost as cool as the GM Sniper.
ReplyDeleteThe wait for the G.F.F.N ReZEL is killing me. =)
>> LEon
ReplyDeleteI kind of think that sniping and Zaku didn't blend so well too!
>> chrismandesign
The MS on the box artwork is Kampfer. Understand there's confusion caused as artwork differs from the actual trading figure. Just want to inform that the figure is from this series. Hee! Hee!
>> chubbybots
I also feel that it's quite detail for figure that is so small in size.
>> G.G
GM Sniper is still my personal favourite list. Ha! Ha!
I have G.F.F.N ReZEL, but have not time to play it. Sigh....
I threw away two Gundam model kits when moving to my sister's house. So, I have no Gundam figures already :)
