HG Military Police Zaku Marches into the Gunpla Frontline!
Get ready, Gunpla builders—Bandai Spirits is launching a brand-new kit from the upcoming anime Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, airing April 2025! Slated for release on April 12, the HG 1/144 Military Police Zaku is more than just a recolor—it’s a full-blown upgrade rooted in lore, form, and function.
When I first saw the official box art and prototype build released on Bandai Hobby’s channels, I knew this would be a standout release. Not every day you get a Zaku unit tailored for riot control duty, complete with police gear and a sharp redesign.
A Post-War Peacekeeper from SIDE 6 🛡️
The MS-06-SSP Military Police Zaku is a repurposed mobile suit deployed by SIDE 6’s colony police following the One Year War. Built off the original MS-06 Zaku II, it’s equipped to enforce order with authority:
✔ Classic Zaku Machine Gun
✔ Riot Baton
✔ Shield with “警察” (Police) insignia
✔ Heat Hawk
✔ Optional riot-specific decals
What really caught my eye was the mention of the SSPEX variant, outfitted for elite units with a long-range booster and upgraded firepower. I’m hoping Bandai follows this up with an expansion pack or Premium Bandai version—because I need that variant on my shelf.
✔ Advanced Build Quality & Realistic Police Detailing
From my own experience building recent High Grades, Bandai’s newer engineering continues to impress—and this kit looks no different.
✔ Latest part-separation tech for vibrant color accuracy right out of the box
✔ Clear parts for the shoulder-mounted warning lights
✔ New leg sculpt featuring rounded thighs and re-routed power pipes
✔ Large rear verniers and redesigned lower-body proportions
✔ Posable mono-eye camera and articulated shoulder modules
The hip joint design also stands out, allowing for dynamic action poses despite its bulky armor. Whether you’re recreating patrol stances or mid-combat lunges, this suit’s got the flexibility to make it work.
