HGUC 065 EMS-10 ‘Zudah’

This is the 65th kit in the Bandai HGUC lineup. The EMS-10 Zudah, seen in the MS IGLOO Movies. This kit can actually convert to just about any Zudah Variant in the movies and has alot of nice features.

~Head- The options start here! The Zudah's head unit comes with 3 different looks. It also has a moveable monoeye on a track that can move side to side. The switch to move the eye can be accessed by taking off the panel on the top of the head. Theres also a clear cover over the face, so it really looks quite nice.

~Torso/backpack- A nice design, it has double joints for the shoulders. The backpack's thuster can swivel on a ball joint. Like most HGUCs, separating the two front skirt pieces down the middle can make those two panels independant without much work. This easy fix can give it even more articulation.

~Arms- The arms surprisingly do not have a double joint, but can extend their length (I don't know why though). They have a good solid construction. Theres a shield on a moveable track on the left arm that can also hold the sturm faust and its spikes can be folded forward. Gives the Zudah some sweet poses.

~Legs- the legs are extremely articulate and have double joints at both the knee and ankle. The upper part of the leg hides the seam lines quite well too. Theres also hardpoints to mount the Zaku Machine Gun or the Heat Hawk.

~Accessories- This thing is packed! This kit comes with two normal closed fist hands (open in middle) and a trigger hand. The fists are a bit too big to really hold the heat hawk, but have no problems with the handle for the spike shield, the sturm faust, or the handles for the weaponry. The trigger hand works on both the Anti Ship cannon and the Machine Gun. As far as weaponry goes, theres a Zaku Machine gun with a removeable clip, Anti- Ship gun, Heat Hawk with hilt, sturm faust, and the spike shield on the left arm. Theres also a spare machine gun clip that can mount on the skirt armor, but can't be used on the machine gun. Theres also tons of stickers for its many variants.

~Overall: Overall, I loved the design and the kit really does it justice. Its got plenty of articulation, even without the double jointed arms. The Zudah beats the pants off many of its Zeonic Brothers kits in my opinion as far as its kit design goes. Its accessories, its designing, its articulation make this a great kit!
