this is a nice review, but may I suggest that you put a layer of paint on the pegs of the back wings and the ones connected to the feather parts, just to give it more stability
I wonder, what if Wing Zero could have another pair of wings, i dont think it'll upset it's balance too much, i would personally love to do this myself but frankly i'm still under aged and can't get a job but maybe someone whose willing too make a Wing Zero Custom to Wing Zero Custom (whatever name preferred) would be just super and awesome to see, Four separate wings spreading out, might out shine SF, and i am a big SF fan, and i saw what you did with Exia and SF which was Genuis :D
@graviron ?Might as well just answer without a clear question.This is indeed from Endless Waltz,but the movie,not the line.It is also technically a Ver Ka kit since he designed the Gundams for the movie.
@Gundamificationify Who said that 2.0 kits are "reserved" for UC timeline kits? Bandai makes decisions and things change everyday; especially the trends in their GunPla kits and how they do things. I'd say that I'd be open to any possibility.
I remember getting this kit and setting it up so that the Eye and Chest light up with LEDs, and repainted it to resemble the "Hikaru Special" in the Gengeki Hobby Magazine in May 2001 if I can recall. all the inner frame pieces and the joints were painted black to improve it's stability, as well as to help hold the TBR better(can hold it suprisingly well 1-handed now, and I may do a ver 2.0, but my first custom came out nice :D
maybe bandai designed the wings to pop off all the time to simulate wing zero's lame death in endless waltz (its death wasnt that lame because of the awesome music and his uber buster rifle)
only question i have is in my next order for kits, when i FINALLY get some money next week, should i get this or the ver ka one. this one is cool and accurate, but, i like the originality of the katoki version and would look cool beside my previous ver ka wing kits
If you paint it, it will help keep the feathers on. Also, the superglue trick will help tighten up the main wing joint to the backpack. There are just minor issues with this kit.
Even though I have this kit almost a year, I watched your review, and i am feeling lucky, because mine doesn't had any of this problem, the only one, of course, being to him hold his beam rifle, and actually, he kinda can. But my wings doens't have any problem after a year long of changing poses again and again ;p.
@prime92 I think you should handle your kit slowly. I'm scared looking the way you put the back wings. >.< That's might be the issue of the problems of your kit.
Huh, I really had no problems with this kit. The wings on the back are actually pretty tight. The rubber stays on pretty well for me. It was also a pretty fun build too. Great kit, just wished it had the peg in the hands so it could hold the weapons better.
if it wasn't for the feathers then i would get this in a heart beat. i hope they do re-release this kit when the new manga introduces the zero again. i guess you can always say those feathers could be something like fin funnels, fangs, dragoons, w/e.
Maybe Bandai got the idea of the falling of wing feathers from the EW Movie itself. LOL!!! Where Wing Zero flaps his wings and feathers just fall off :)
@Prime92 This is a cool kit, but Bandai needs to a a "EW" version and update the inner frame (make it a full frame), fix the wings & backpack (more stable, more articulation), fix the hands so it can hold the Buster Rifle, clear green parts instead of clear with stickers under, etc.
@BlitzkriegOmega No. I used to have this kit myself, and I had these same issues. They really need to re-release this kit as an EW ver. with updates. It's been like 10 years (give or take) since the kit came out.
@suiton629 Dude, you're just doing something wrong. My WZC is a few years old now, and only 3 times has a wing petal fallen off and I haven't even put any superglue on the ball joints. I can also make it hold the twin buster rifle outstretched in one hand, and it has never dropped it (I haven't modified either hand in any way). Green parts can easily be fixed with paint, or even a sharpie if you have to. Wing Zero's frame is mostly complete, it doesn't need a frame update like Hyaku Shiki.
@suiton629 Dude, just shut up. 1st, this kit came out in 2004, not 10 years ago. and 2nd bandai didn´t make any updates for the wing ver ka, why should they make for this? just because you´re a noob who can´t work around a problem? there are TONS of MGs that need 2.0s, like hyaku shiki, the gp0s, etc... this isn´t one of them, it´s a very good kit as it is. now stop spaming everywhere with your *ahem* "expert" opinions, it really makes you look stupid and annoying

@suiton629 Those winglets should be pegs instead of ball joints. But they should update the hands. The green parts aren't as important to Wing zero as they are with a 00 kit.
@suiton629 I think you should just stop talking and modify your gunpla. The WZC is perfectly fine, it was part of the 30th anniversary clear parts campaign, meaning, to Bandai, its frame is more than suitable to be showcased.
@Wontonslol i have the 30th anniversary one and boy i like it but u know i think i might do a custom" of it LOL cuz i have the katoki version im just going to change the color of the EW one into katoki version i have both so yea hopefully it works out the way i want it too i have no problems at all except the feathers haha
A pain in the back-skirt, I love that, I would use it but I'm afraid no one would know what I was saying. Schools these days what are they teaching if not gunpla terminology?
tbh the small problems with the wings where to be expected and arent that much of a problem once you got him posed on your stand dont think you can really call it a problem or hold it as a mark against the kit
@Prime92 You know what I hate, I hate how everyone's wing zero has smooth sliding thruster wings. Mine never opened up right which resulted in one of the sliding parts breaking. Now I have to keep it open.
@graviton you can say that... But this is a upgrade
