Assembly Guide

Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Gundam series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Gundam kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "1/1 Zakupla-Kun" mean in terms of size, and is this a functional model kit?

"1/1" means Zakupla-Kun is recreated in life-size, as if he were a real character or a piece of a "real" Gunpla frame. While it comes as a kit that you assemble (like a model), its primary function is as a display figure, not a traditional functional model in the sense of a transforming or highly playable toy. It's a large, static display piece with some articulation.

What are the "Runner Ver. Recreation Parts," and what makes them special?

The "Runner Ver. Recreation Parts" are unique components included in this DX set that are specifically molded to look like actual Gunpla parts still attached to their plastic runners, complete with the gate marks. This is a special, meta-tribute feature that celebrates the process of building Gunpla, offering a novel visual element unique to this deluxe release.

Is this Zakupla-Kun figure fully articulated, or is it a static display piece?

Zakupla-Kun in this 1/1 scale DX set features articulation points, allowing for various poses. While not as extensively articulated as some smaller action figures, it offers enough movement to achieve charming and dynamic display stances, reflecting his playful character.

Is glue or paint required to assemble the 1/1 Zakupla-Kun DX Set?

Generally, Bandai Spirits model kits, especially those of this nature, are designed for snap-fit assembly. This means no glue is typically required. The parts are also pre-colored, so painting is not necessary to achieve the intended look, making it accessible even for those new to model building.

What is the appeal of Zakupla-Kun, and is this product for all Gundam fans?

Zakupla-Kun is an unofficial mascot and a beloved character within the Gunpla community, representing the fun and spirit of model building. This DX set is primarily aimed at dedicated Gunpla enthusiasts and serious Gundam collectors who appreciate unique, niche, and high-quality commemorative items, rather than just anyone looking for a standard Gundam action figure. Its appeal lies in its novelty, size, and clever homage to the hobby itself.
