RG Zeta Unboxing

 - Gunpla Unboxing-

RG Zeta Gundam Unboxing 

So guys here's an unboxing of the RG Zeta Gundam. My box got a bit crushed in the corner during the shipping process so I decided to just use a stock image for the front view of the box - and the fact that my pictures came out a bit blurry didn't help. So i'm sorry guys for the pictures coming out a bit blurry, I decided to use the DSLR but didn't have a tripod available to use so the slightest movement without flash will produce a blurry picture.



As always - as expected of an RG Gundam, the cover art looks amazing. the level of detail is phenomenal and the little details you can see on the Zeta in the box art is always present in the kit itself.


An angled view of the front box art as well as the side display showcasing the transformation process and its stages. It looks very nice and detailed. It also has a picture of the completed RG Zeta unpainted alongside the runners necessary to complete the build. 


This side showcases the kit's posability and awesomeness. Unpainted of course. This side also informs you of the price tag - 3000 yen or around $33 aud.

You may notice that the box has a different cover art on the all sides, much unlike most other gundam kits which generally have two sides that look exactly the same minus the pricing tag on one end. One side shows the Zeta's head and upper body whereas the other end shows the Zeta in its transformed mode.


When lifting off the first half of the box, you are greeted with the pictures of the Zeta Gundam in all its other forms and scales.


RUNNER RUNDOWN


Here is the runner for the inner frame (MS Joint). As you can see, the Zeta has a completely different frame when compared to the other RG's and as a matter of fact, when compared to pretty much any Gundam kit.


Here is the A plate. All the yellow is going to come from this runner as well as all the off white/grey. The dark grey located on this runner is slightly lighter than the grey found on the other runners. It's closer to a medium grey than a dark grey. The clear pieces on this runner are also already colored for you in a clear blue. A very nice color, it looks a little light but we'll see how that goes when the kit is completed.


The first bag of runners also comes with the beam sabers for the beam rifle. It is a 1/144 scale beam saber. It's actually the exact same beam sabers as what you get in the MG Astray Red Frame (with the exception of color) for the bow form of it's Tactical Arms II and beam torch.


The E plate here has all the red colored pieces. The majority of the pieces are going to be used on his extra armaments such as the shield and his backpack.


The H plate holds all the white pieces of the Zeta.


The D runners.


The G plates.


This is a comparison of the two runners of beam sabers that come with the kit. The smaller fits only in the beam rifle and is too small for the beam saber entry input points.


The C plate holds all the black pieces for the kit and almost all of the pieces are used for the flyer.



The F plate. Used to add onto the MS joints to give a much more substantial feel and look. As you can see, this is the same runner but the camera produced a different color when contrasting the colors on the yellow backdrop. The color of the actually runner is closer to the second picture but ever so slightly lighter.


And the last runner is the I runner, where the rest of the blue pieces are found.

EXTRAS




Of course you get the instruction/construction booklet. Instructing you in how to construct the gundam and where to place the decals.


The large decal sheet for the Zeta


A leaflet advertising the Zeta head display that came with a hobby magazine in Japan. I've already got it (bought it along with the Zeta).


A small piece of paper with a QR code which directs you to the Gundam.info site or it's Japanese counterpart.


And the last thing that came with my Zeta is the RG Booklet. This booklet only came with the first batch of the RG Zeta's and has information about all the other previous RG kits as well as CG images of them in action.

Like I said before guys, i'm really sorry that the picture quality wasn't as well as should be expected and will try to spend more time with getting the perfect pictures for all of you guys. As always, thanks so much for viewing and tune in again soon for more updates, reviews and gunpla related content. Enjoy!
