Review: Bandai Bitlot Gundam Zaku

Let's change things up and segue into something that isn't a building block of some type.  This is a new-to-me blind box collection.  I saw them at Miniso a couple of weeks ago and decided to give them a try.  Apparently they were released early this year and there is a second batch coming at the end of the year.


Box.  I paid $9.99 at Miniso for this.

Parts.











Disassembled.  The helmet can be Defense or Spotting.  The gun could be
Direct Fire or Spotting.  The shield could be Defense.  The axe could be
Melee.  The hands (not shown detached) could be removed for White
Die damage.  The haft of the axe looks flimsy and I didn't want to try and
pull it out of the hand and maybe wreck it.  So I may just keep the weapons
in the hands permanently and forgo using them for White Dice damage.

Assembled.










Size Comparison.


The Questions:
Is it below, at, or above $10 per Frame?  At.  (0)
Is it a good size to use in a game?  Yes.  About the size of a Classic.  (+5)
How many parts does it have to represent systems?  Four.  (+5)
Does it have enough parts you can remove to represent White Dice damage?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +15 (A).  You can't field it as a Soldier archetype right out of the box but the stock model (2Rh/2Rd/1B/1Y) may be a useful option on the battlefield.
