Products being released in each region carry characters’ copyright and safety signs to comply with necessary conditions. Even the backpack has a lot going on, with fuel tanks on ball joints and funnel racks that open and close, with each funnel being removable and featuring a sliding gimmick where the gun barrel extends and locks the maneuvering fins in place. Part of the back of the front armor is painted in iron color, and the vernier of each part is painted in silver color inside and iron color outside.

Char’s personal mobile suit for all of this is the MSN-04 Sazabi (the “MS” is fairly obvious, but the “N” is either “Neo-Zeon” or “Newtype”, dealer’s choice), an absolute beast of a mobile suit. One element of the backpack I really didn't care for were the fuel tanks becausethey have a seam running down the center. Another three hours of decal application and, two more ripped decals, I’ve only managed to apply about 30 or so decals. First earning fame as apparently the only ace pilot who managed not to get killed by Amuro during the One Year War, he followed that up with an encore performance of head-shotting the final remaining Zabi scion with a bazooka.For hands, we get seven: a trigger-finger hand for the right, and pairs of wide open hands, fists, and beam-saber holding hands. A metal ball fits into a small plastic rotator cuff that was previously sandwiched and bolted between two other metal plates and it is too tight. With the amount of plastic and thought put into this thing prepare yourself for hours of fun piecing this together.

The new double horn funnel can be detached from its backpack and act as either a pair of huge saber type or beam cannon weapons - provided with effect parts in the kit.

What happens is that after thrashing Amuro in an early battle, he decides that it would be cool to have a “fair fight”, and just gives him the plans for the psychoframe. The cylinder shaft on the back of the forearm is painted gold on the cylinder side and silver on the shaft. This kit is not lacking in detail, there’s a ton of separate overlapping panels which provide actual real panel separations, and there are plenty more molded panel line separations on the outside armor plates. Also I decided to keep the V-fin antennas off until I’m done with decals, because the aftermarket metal ones don’t fit snugly and I’m afraid I’m going to lose them before I finish this build, so Sazabi will be pictured bald for the time being.The build experience of this kit is pretty streamlined thanks to Bandai's meticulous planning of parts.

The trigger finger and melee hands have a hinge joint at the wrist that allows the hand to perform extension and flexion. The Hasegawa hologram finish sheet is attached to the forehead sensor, and it is painted in clear green from above. Color and form of the product may differ from the actual product and what is seen on screen depending on monitor settings.There’s a set of funnels on the back – remote weapons controlled by brainwaves – derived from the testbed Jagd Doga and, to make the most of Char’s Newtype abilities, a psychoframe cockpit. I however, cannot recommend this kit enough due to the fact that it is simply one of the best kits I have built in the 1/144 scale. It features a good amount of molded detail and several areas where the back armor platting pokes through the red. Rival to Amuro, mentor to Kamille, it’s everyone’s favorite ice cold psychopath from outer space: the Red Comet himself, Char Aznable. I’m personally not a Real Grade builder and prefer HGs and MGs, but this particular kit really amazed me with how it was painstakingly designed.

The RG Sazabi we made this time has been modified with a small amount of work, such as simple details such as mono eyes and small thrusters, mold reshaping to erase the parting line when sanding.Initial reviews online have indicated possible problems at the connection point of the arms and the main body.
