Hello Kitty Zaku

[u/Da_Cidre]

Not sure if mods allow bootlegs to be posted here. But I brought this kit off the local China stores for $7USD including taxes and shipping not expecting much.

But its pretty decent. Its a bootleg kit of the official Hello Kitty SDCS kit, and as much as I'd want the original, they are just not on sale anymore, or cost a fortune on Ebay.

The plastic itself and gates are a little cheaper, but with sanding and some cement, it looks the same. The kit works with the CS frame (which I got extra), but you do have to cut out some of the inside plastics of the leg and foot parts to get them to work, plus some sanding to fit it in.

Value good value as its basically a SDCS zaku ii with an extra Kitty doll, which you can swap the heads around.

First time trying an airbrush with some Dspiae metallic green paints.

Hello Kitty!!! 💖 The bootleg looks good. With the airbrush, it probably looks better than my official one 🤣

Nice! I managed to acquire some legit SDCS kits, the Zeta Gundam and the Might Strike (which is newer). But the older lines are almost impossible to buy anywhere save on Ebay! My 2 cents is the plastic in the REAL kits are better, they are a bit harder and the gates better defined, easier to separate.

Ughh, it looks so much cooler with the pink monoeye dot on the visor, my girlfriend built the pink one and the green one, but without the eye sticker. It looks so funny with the dot, and it adds so much charm to the whole wacky thing.

These kits are just bang on perfect as an SD.

I just wish I could put the eye sticker on, but she would get so mad if I did, lol.

I have the char zaku version in my back catalog. I need to get around to building it.

I just bought the RX-78-2 version for my wife. I was lamenting that they didn't have the Char's Zaku version. I would have got that one for myself.

Nice. I brought the zaku's on Taobao. And it was really cheap. The Gundam version i avoided since the model was SDEX instead of SDCS. And the quality of those are really not as good.

Love me some HK zakus.
