Char’s Zaku II Bamboo Craft Puzzle Will Follow the Gundam

A new bamboo craft puzzle that lets people construct a model of the Char Aznable Custom MS-06S Zaku II from Mobile Suit Gundam has appeared in Japan. People residing in the country can now purchase the kit on the Japanese Premium Bandai web store at 13,200 yen (~$87). [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The set will come with five bamboo plates containing a total of 358 pieces. It will let people craft not only the full Mobile Suit body but also its armaments like the Zaku Machine Gun and the Heat Hawk axe. Once completed, the kit will stand at around 26.5 cm (10.43 in) tall, 18 cm (7.09 in) wide, and 12 cm (4.72 in) deep.

More sample images showing how the bamboo kit will look like upon completion are available right below:

While Premium Bandai has also released si-gu-mi paper art puzzles modeled after the Zaku II, this one is made of bamboo. It will thus directly complement the RX-78-2 Gundam bamboo craft puzzle the store released earlier in late 2023.
