In the anime, Yuuma designed the Lightning Zeta to not transform; instead, the kit focused more on detail, mobility, and new weapons such as the Phoenix Burst. Also, those beam effect parts could be used as wing binder blades for melee combat.
"putting out a bunch of obscure mobile suits from the Zeta series... they're not gonna sell that well..." All of the Rise of Zeta kits are a pleasant surprise now lol
After seeing the review of this and the Revive kits, it gave me an idea to mod them into looking more like the SCM gundam figures if you ever seen those things. Also nice review as always!
Im really keen to try out the lightning packs on that badboy and see what kind of look I can achieve. Also thanks for the heads up on the hands situation, I also fully agree with you there. Mine hopefully arrives tomorrow with my MkIII and other stuff so Im really glad you put up the Vid it makes the waiting easier :D.
another good review bro, you are really banging these new kits out, and I know where to go to see if they are good kits or not, so thank you sir, and I just ordered the new dom r35 and I do think I will be getting this and doing a recolor
ZakuAurelius hey bro, you have struck again I went and ordered the zeta right after watching the review, that's about the 5th or 6th time that's happened, you should get some Bandai credits or something hahaha, its all good though I would have got them eventually anyway
Ive never done any sort of modding before, but i wonder if it would be possible to combine this with the gunpla evolution project Zeta to improve the posability of the shoulders...
I did a project where I tried to make it transform in its self so no core block to replace the torso but you till have to parts form the wing binders and shield on the bottom
theArcanaOFZero maybe but it's not going to use this mold. Lightning Zeta and Zeta are very different. vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/7/77/MSZ-006_-_Zeta_Gundam_-_Front_View.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121115191846 vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/e/ea/Lightning_Zeta_Gundam_Front.png/revision/latest?cb=20150403103154
Nice kit. I do like the Phoenix Burst pose and would have bought on of these is it came with a big Phoenix effect part. That's just me and I don't share your hatred of birds lol. I do think it does look better posed like your last two poses.
Hiya, Zaku! Any chance we'll see a review for the new HGCE Freedom? Big fan of the suit, and already own the RG, so I'd love to see your impressions, because there's this itch of me that wants to get it, haha. As for this suit, I really dig all of the updated suits from Try's ending, and this one's no exception. Looks really nice, though I'm looking forward to Kamiki Burning Gundam the most :V
@@00kamina39 can you in use the transformation brick that comes with the original zeta gundam and use the parts on the lightning zeta to make a custom transformation?
Necroflare I haven't! Cause I've never actually tried it. But I've seen plenty on how to do it. I just haven't had a time where I wanted to or needed to try it yet.
Pedro Villacorta try burning/melting then in an old pot outside with a gas burner, then pouring it into a mold. there's probably tutorials on here for it
the lack of beam sabers is pretty strange. in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Zeta had two beam sabers and it had a beam bayonet coming out of the barrel of it's rifle. they could have atleast included a beam saber effect part to make the beam rifle bayonet.
Jango The Blue Fox I think I'm gonna do a short tutorial soon on how to make your own beam sabers. Pretty simple but I think it would be fun and useful for some people.
ZakuAurelius yeah it seems like it would be pretty easy to cut a small section of tube off of a runner and carve it into the shape of a beam saber. a tutorial would be great. and I guess the shape of the hilt would really depend on the shape of the weapon holding hands too.
All new runners, some randoms indents for where parts might have been. I'm smelling a future p-bandai release. I notice the whole upper body has odd small joints, the hands look the same size as crossbone kits, so yeah kinda small. I think this would be cool in amuro's colors
we can get this but a kapool kit which as almost as much screen time as the Turn A, and exists in UC, but throwaway suits like lightning zeta and 20 different petit bearguys do?
Hey look another reviewer that Suiton discovered, gl ZA. Anyway this kit doesn't appeal to me that much, the design choices just feel off to me. It's like trying a bit too much to be cool and edgy. But then again I love the original Zeta so I am probably biased.
broodjebamibal Snap even niet wat je met de bovenste regel bedoelt.... Is onze grote "vriend" onder een andere gebruikersnaam aan het posten? En zo ja, begint de naam met twee x-en en eindigt hij daar ook op? Groetjes
Ik wist het niet anders te omschrijven, en aangezien er idd veel mensen zijn die een hekel aan hem hebben heb ik het maar tussen aanhalings tekens geschreven. Persoonlijk heb ik niets op hem tegen, maar ik heb wel op een forum iets gelezen waar hij het heel erg bont maakte. En als je een nieuwe/andere gebruikersnaam moet gaan creëren/gebruiken zegt dat op zich wel iets... Maar gewoon in zijn eigen waarde laten, vinden wij ook fijn als mensen dat bij ons doen. Maar even iets anders, ik had nooit verwacht dat er zoveel (ik vind drie op de twee honderd best veel) Nederlands talige personen naar dit kanaal keken... Leuk!
to bad the beam weapon is just plain awkward... if bandai had just kept it to beam sabers that would have been cool. but I guess it is still mainly due to the show

keep the review going zach! more reference and more quality you are helping a lot of people here!!!

Chris Vinson I'm snapping the Dom R35 today for the next review! ;)
ZakuAurelius hey bro, you have struck again I went and ordered the zeta right after watching the review, that's about the 5th or 6th time that's happened, you should get some Bandai credits or something hahaha, its all good though I would have got them eventually anyway
ZakuAurelius it's just a shame that the DOM R35 is also missing accessories. it's missing the heat saber.
Because of this review, I'm going to get one tom! :D Very nice review as always!
Loving the video quality and frequency of release. keep up the good work
Ive never done any sort of modding before, but i wonder if it would be possible to combine this with the gunpla evolution project Zeta to improve the posability of the shoulders...
you could probably mix and match some of those parts fairly easily.
I did a project where I tried to make it transform in its self so no core block to replace the torso but you till have to parts form the wing binders and shield on the bottom
New parts
HG Revive Zeta Gundam is coming I guess. Like how we get the Leopold
theArcanaOFZero maybe but it's not going to use this mold. Lightning Zeta and Zeta are very different.

vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/e/ea/Lightning_Zeta_Gundam_Front.png/revision/latest?cb=20150403103154
definitely gonna buy this kit... Thanks sir Zach :)
your newer reviews are getting better,
Can you do a guide about melting clear runners into new parts? Or maybe suggest one?
can't do that, buy some clear resin
edit, thought you meant stuff like scopes or energy blades, should be fin for effect parts
this is a kit from a main character so it is understandable why it got kit
How tall is this kit?
I know I’m super late here, but the HG Lightning Gundam is a pretty decent kit as well.
something I think will come from this model is a Reborn version of the Zeta HG, like they did with the Amazing Red Warrior and the new RX-78.
Billy Rixham Ah ha~ not a bad idea! We'll have to wait and see.
I wish you would have done like a side by side comparison from the zeta kit. Nice review
Jungaii Cumla i didn't have another 1/144 Zeta kit on hand at the time. This came out before the new HGUC Zeta
Nice kit. I do like the Phoenix Burst pose and would have bought on of these is it came with a big Phoenix effect part. That's just me and I don't share your hatred of birds lol. I do think it does look better posed like your last two poses.

When do we get the super fumina.... I think that's what it is called
kidcrimson66 I'd buy it!
ZakuAurelius And it's confirmed for a November release haha
Hi Zaku, How tall is this kit? Same as the Rg Nu?
@@00kamina39 can you in use the transformation brick that comes with the original zeta gundam and use the parts on the lightning zeta to make a custom transformation?
wow you build it very fast. thank you for your efforts LIKED!
Yesss got my hobby knife now waiting for the kits awesome video
Have you done a tut on melting down your clear parts?
Necroflare I haven't! Cause I've never actually tried it. But I've seen plenty on how to do it. I just haven't had a time where I wanted to or needed to try it yet.
I think the reason why Bandai doesn't give you beam sabers is because you could use those wings as a melee weapon.
+Mr Zark Yeah, true.
i wish that we would get some more mobile armors, but i doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Hey, Do you got tutorial on creating new parts by melting runner?
No
@@ZakuAurelius A'ight thx, it might be an interesting content if ye got extra spot for upload 😃
How do you heat up the runners that held the beam effects??
Pedro Villacorta try burning/melting then in an old pot outside with a gas burner, then pouring it into a mold. there's probably tutorials on here for it
can i ask? actually what base is that? the rotating one... thank you
Just go to Amazon or HLJ and search for a rotating display base. I've owned two now from different brands but exactly the same product.
May be bandai had already design a new version of zeta and thats why the runners of this kit is new.
the lack of beam sabers is pretty strange. in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Zeta had two beam sabers and it had a beam bayonet coming out of the barrel of it's rifle. they could have atleast included a beam saber effect part to make the beam rifle bayonet.
Jango The Blue Fox I think I'm gonna do a short tutorial soon on how to make your own beam sabers. Pretty simple but I think it would be fun and useful for some people.
ZakuAurelius
yeah it seems like it would be pretty easy to cut a small section of tube off of a runner and carve it into the shape of a beam saber. a tutorial would be great. and I guess the shape of the hilt would really depend on the shape of the weapon holding hands too.
Great review!
All new runners, some randoms indents for where parts might have been. I'm smelling a future p-bandai release. I notice the whole upper body has odd small joints, the hands look the same size as crossbone kits, so yeah kinda small. I think this would be cool in amuro's colors
fuzzyhawk down I'm smelling what you're smelling!
for the record, in a month or so when your announcing the p-bandai lightning zeta whatever remember, I called it.
any remedy for the left fin sir Zach?
- mine also falls a lot...
+Fort Manuel Delfin Cardinal Glue~
+ZakuAurelius thanks :)
Lightning Zeta never transforms. Yuuma removed the transformation in favor of the Phoenix Burst system.
Jango The Blue Fox Oh right! Thanks~
ZakuAurelius
you're welcome. ^_^
+Jango The Blue Fox
Thank you.
This basically answered the biggest question I had.
steve eh
you're welcome. ^_^
Jango The Blue Fox you could say that the phoenix burst system is a transfotmation but more astaroth origin style than complete mode change
1 min and 40 secs in he already said the word "kit" for 14 times lmao still a good review
good job, keep it up
I really want a revive HGUC Zeta Gundam, I'm not a big fan of the RG version and the original HG version is outdated.
ThePonsor911 happy news we are getting one
we can get this but a kapool kit which as almost as much screen time as the Turn A, and exists in UC, but throwaway suits like lightning zeta and 20 different petit bearguys do?
from what im hearing about your mention on the arms, its like popeye the sailor. lol
That Zaku Machinegun style beam rifle is the ONLY thing I like about this kit...
nice
Someone get that mobile suit a hamburger!
Gundam Zeta Chicken
we need a revive zeta gundam also zz gundam too and also fully transformable kit not parts forming compare to old one.
Not a fan of the original Zeta Gundam?! Heresy!
I know, I know
Hey look another reviewer that Suiton discovered, gl ZA.
