Key features

Brutal Powerhouse: The ZAN variant takes the Kenbu's combat prowess to the next level. Its signature weapon transforms from the standard beam rifle to the devastating "ZAN Rifle," packing a heavier punch and sporting a menacing design. Additionally, the ZAN boasts arm-mounted blades for brutal close-quarters combat, turning it into a whirlwind of destruction.
Enhanced Menace: The ZAN isn't just about raw power; it oozes intimidating style. Its darker color scheme with metallic accents sets it apart from the standard Kenbu, exuding an aura of raw aggression. Sharp lines and angular armor pieces further emphasize its combat-ready stance, striking fear into the hearts of its enemies.
Dynamic Posability: Despite its bulkier design, the Kenbu ZAN retains the fantastic articulation of its base model. The arms and legs offer a wide range of motion, allowing you to recreate fierce attack stances, agile dodges, and powerful smashes. This posability, combined with the ZAN's impressive weaponry, lets you bring its combat prowess to life in dynamic and visually stunning ways.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED

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.

No Cement Required

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.

No Painting Required

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

How does the ZAN variant differ from the standard Kenbu in terms of weapons and visuals?

The Kenbu ZAN sports a darker color scheme with metallic accents, exuding a more aggressive aura. Weapon-wise, it upgrades the standard beam rifle to a high-powered "ZAN Rifle" and packs additional blades on its arms for devastating close-quarters combat.

Does the ZAN's bulkier design affect its articulation compared to the regular Kenbu?

Despite the added weaponry, the Kenbu ZAN retains the excellent articulation of its base model, allowing for dynamic and action-packed poses. The arm-mounted blades might slightly restrict shoulder movement in certain positions, but overall flexibility remains impressive.

Is the ZAN build more challenging than the standard Kenbu, and is it suitable for beginners?

The ZAN's assembly process remains beginner-friendly, utilizing similar snap-fit parts with clear instructions. The additional components might require slightly more attention due to their intricate details, but it shouldn't pose a significant hurdle for newcomers.

Is the Kenbu ZAN a regular release or a limited edition kit? Where can I find it?

The availability of the Kenbu ZAN can vary depending on your region and preferred retailer. It might be a regular release in some areas, while others might offer it as a limited edition or exclusive.

Can I customize the Kenbu ZAN with parts from other MAILeS kits or are there dedicated expansion sets available?

The Kenbu ZAN's design allows for some degree of customization with compatible parts from other MAILeS kits, though specific compatibility might vary. Additionally, dedicated expansion sets for the Kenbu line, like weapon packs or effect parts, can further enhance your ZAN model's visual and combat prowess.
