Ashley Wood x Bandai Zaku Preview...!!

3A x Bandai Zaku

Shown at Ani-Com in Hong Kong the other day is the test model for the upcoming 3A x Bandai Zaku figure. I've really been looking forward to this and with a few reservations, i'm still pretty pumped. The notion of Ashley woods re-imagining the iconic Zaku villain from Gundam is a dream come true. But in this preview, do the highly stylized proportions help or hurt? I think both. I like the exagerated hands and shoulders, but I think the lower legs and feet need beefing up as well. I'm ok with the miniscule head with the homage to the NOM Commanders. I love the giant shoulder shield and opposing shoulder armor the best. The giant bazooka maybe not so much. I only hope that Ash includes some kind of giant wicked axe. I'm also curious as to the size. It looks huge which is ok by me. Don't get me wrong, I still love it and will be buying it for sure.
