Personal Notes (From Ah Chong)

Gundam Zagan stands out mainly because of the Shield Pliers Unit — it’s not just a visual gimmick, but something you’ll actually enjoy posing and adjusting. The shoulder and arm articulation improvements are very noticeable during display.

If you like Iron-Blooded Orphans designs that feel practical and slightly aggressive, this is a nice addition to the HG shelf without being overly complicated.
