Take control of the Principality of Zeon’s flagship naval combat mecha, thanks to the cutting-edge plastic engineering of the Master Grade (MG) range developed by Bandai Spirits.
The mass-produced MSM-07 Z’Gok stands out radically from other mechas thanks to its stocky silhouette, telescopic arms and official military livery, featuring various shades of sky blue, navy blue and charcoal grey. At 1/100 scale, this kit offers a particularly original, high-end building experience, showcasing a realistic industrial design built to withstand the pressures of the deep sea.
A watertight internal skeleton and articulated bellows:
The heart of this model lies in its fully articulated internal chassis (Inner Frame), which replicates the robot’s internal mechanics. To simulate the amphibious nature of the real machine, the kit uses layered textured plastic parts in the form of expandable bellows running the full length of the arms and legs. This system cleverly conceals the mechanical joints whilst offering a surprising fluidity of movement for such a heavy mecha.
A formidable arsenal and propulsion propellers:
The Z’Gok is equipped for devastating coastal ambushes. Each arm ends in formidable, fully articulated three-pronged mechanical melee claws (Iron Claws) that open and close manually to pierce the armour of the Federation’s GMs. The palms of the hands house the Mega Particle Cannons, whilst the top of the head accommodates the missile launchers. The dorsal backpack is fitted with two large, removable rotary hydro-thrusters for underwater navigation.
