PG MSZ-006 Z Gundam

The largest and most detailed plastic model kit in Bandai's history is finally here! With a kit this amazing, it's simply impossible to mention everything, so please be willing to settle for the highlights:

■ 37 runners of parts (825 total pieces). About 50 locations secured by metal screws. Speaking of metal, the landing gear struts are die-cast.

■ Five different locations light up on the finished kit (eyes, tail fin, beam saber and both wingtips, batteries included!). Full inner mechanism detail on all limbs. Opening panels on the head, chest (inc. cockpit) and more. Fingers are individually-jointed.

■ Comes with two beam sabers, shield, two grenade packs and the huge beam rifle. Locking systems provide stability in both Wave Rider and Mobile Suit modes, so things don't flap around like they do on the Master Grade kit.

■ Separate cardboard manual describes with concise photos how to transform between the two modes. Comes boxed in two separate inner boxes that are held together by a rugged outer cardboard box with carrying handle! Whew!
