Bothstandardreleaseand P bandarereleased, and, as I mentionedthem, boxingguyswhat I wantedtodowithgoingbackandreviewingthiskid, whichisnot a newkidbyanymeans.
I wasjustkindofsharewithyouguysorsortofemphasizetoyouguysforinterviewwhomaybehaveneverbuilt a mashgradesakutotwopoint.
Soit's morethan 10 yearsoldnow, anditisstillregardedasoneofthebestmastergradesoutthere, especiallyforpeoplewhoare a bigfansofmastergradethathave a reallyniceinnerframebecausethat's oneofthemostfamouspointsaboutthiskid, ishowawesometheinnerframeisonit I thinkthatprettymuchgenerallygoesforallofthetwopointofkits, forthemostpart, asfaras I canrememberatthemoment.
Allthatsaid, I thinkitmayhavegoofed a littlebitbychoosingthewhiteversion, becausewhiteplasticisalways a littlebithardtoshootjustbecausewithmylightingherewhitejustanything, whydescendtobeblownout?
So I'm tryingtoshootitin a waythathopefullyyouguyscanseethedetailsonthewhite, andthisisnotcompleteBlowout.
They'relovely.
Guyscanseethat.
Uh, yes.
I couldhavedonesomepanaligningonthattomakeitsoyouguyscouldseethedetails.
Now, I dothinkthatthosereallyshouldhavebeenseparateparts.
Ifthiskidwascomingoutin 2018 or 19 insteadof 2008 thing, thatprobablywouldhavebeen a separateyellowparttogointherein a separatelittleredparttogothereintheback.
Butthisparthere, aroundtheheadandaroundthewaist, youhave a solidplasticpiecethatyouwillstringtheselittlepipepartsalongbutdownhereforthelegs.
Thisis a springhere, sothatisflexible.
Justtheonesuphereontheheadandthebody.
Thosearen't flexibleinthetorsosection.
Here, youhave a niceforwardcrunchthere, but I don't.
I findthatit's a littlebitnotwantingtostaythere.
But I thinkonceyougetthiskidallpainted, youhavesomepaintontheframethat's gonnabeabletobend a littlebitformostoftheframehere, almostallofitisallin a B s plastic.
Sothatisdefinitelyonedownsideofthesekidsisthatthereis a lotof a B s inthem.

But I findwhenyourotate, that's gonnapopoutthesideskirtsprettyeasily.
Sonot a wholelotoftwistingtheirthat's stomachsection.
Butagain, that's kindofcommonthingforhisuncle's.
Theydon't reallyoftenhave a lotoftwistingactionthereatthewaist, butuphereattheshoulder, youhave a niceforwardshoulderjointtherethatwillpullout.

I forgottotalkaboutthebackpackhere, sonothingreallymovesonthistoomuchexceptfortheseflapshereontheside.
Andhisthrusterbellswillalsomovearound a littlebit, butnotreallyallthatmuch.
It's basicallyjust a reallycoollookingbackpack.
Doesn't reallyparticularlydo.
A wholelottabackskirtdoesalsomoveupanddown a littlebitlikethat's andthenyouhavethislittlelatchonhere, whichfoldsout, andthatwouldbeforholdingontothebazookaonotherversions.
Butforthisversion, I don't thinkthatit's meantto.
Itdoesn't havethepiece, they'reinthereforthat.
And I thinkit's justbecauseofthebackpack, thebackpackstoobig.
There's notreallyanyspacefortoholdthebazookathere, so I thinkthat's justnot a thingwiththisversion.
Also, withotherversionsofthekid, youcanstoretheextrasakumachinegun M.

I don't thinkthatthisisanythingthat's supposedtobespecificallyshould.

As I mentioned, wehavetheZacaHeatHawk, whichisprettynice, butit's justbasicallyonesolidpiece.
Itwould'vebeenniceifwehad a separatepeaceforthis.
Thatwas a littlebitcolorseparated.
Theyhavethisclippartherethatwillplugintothesideskirt, andyoucancliptheheatHawkontothatsothedetailisgood, butwithoutpainting, it's gonnabe a littlebitplainlooking.
I thinkNo, I knowit's notgonnaworkatallwiththeprototypebazookahere, So I'm justgonnatakeoutthisbackpartandswitchthatjusttotheoriginalsAkubazookaherebecause I thinkwiththatmagazineontheback, it's notgoingtofeelfortheshoulderatall.
Yeah, actually, thatworksprettywell.
Ifyouplugintothatlowerattachmentpoint, thenyoucanactuallyholdthatupovertheshoulderprettynicelyandthatworksininplaceof a movinghandle.
Andofcourse, withthisbeing a colorvariance, wehave a handfulofleftoverparts, thegoodamountofthemorjustkindofdifferentcoloroptionslikewehadthispartwhichwasoriginallyon a differentrunner.

There, forwhateverreasons, is a slightlydifferentdetailTheyhaveforthatoneotherthing, though, that I shouldmentionabouttheweaponsthatthey'llplugontothehandwiththatlittlepeg.

Like I mentionedbefore, I thinkmaybe a littlemorecolorseparationinthem, I think, wouldprobablyhavemadethem a littlemoreappealingtosomepeopleifyoudon't wanttopaint.
Butofcourse, ifyoupaint, that's easilysolvable.

Andsobasicallymyadvicetoyouguys, ifyou'veneverbuilt a mastergradeCzakokitandyou'relookingtobuildone, youlikethedesignoftheseaku, butyoumaybenotsureabouttheMastergraves.
Justbecausethetwopointowesaremostlyprettyold.
Maybeyouthinkyouwanttoholdoutforthreepointorsomethinglikethat, I wouldsay, Ifyou'rethinkingthatway, thendon't wait.

Insomeareas, someareasare a littlemoredetail.
Thenthere's likeresemblethethighshavealmostnodetailonthem, whereasthelowerleghave a tonofdetailbecauseyouhaveallthehighmobilitypartsthere, soit's a littlebitkindofmixed.
But I thinkthedetailsarereallywelldoneinthattheseaku.
I don't havemypersonalopinionifitgetstoooverlydetailed, itkindoftakesawayfromthecharmofthedesignoftheSaku, I think.
Butthat's it.
Ifwedidendupgetting a reallynicelydetailedthreepointoutatsomepoint, I'm sure I wouldloveitaswell.
Butreally, what I wouldpreferover a 3.0, it's just a nicemastergradeversionoftheoriginsversionoftheSockYouWithwasusingthis 2.0 frame.
Oriftheymade a totallynewframeforeven a morelikesimplifiedframe, sortoflikewhattheymadewithGokuWarrior.
I think I wouldbefinewiththat.
Aslongaswegot a reallynice, coolmastergradeversionoftheOriginCzako.
I thinkthat'd beprettyawesome.
Butinthemeantime, guyslike I say, I can't recommendthiskidenoughifyou're a fanofjustgood, solidmastergrades, ifyouliketacos, youlikeMontel, I designkits, thendefinitelypickupone.
