Miku Meets Mecha: Zaku II Gets a Vocaloid Makeover!
As part of the ambitious Gundam 45th Anniversary × Hatsune Miku project, Bandai Spirits Hobby Division has announced the RG 1/144 Zaku II [Hatsune Miku Ver.]—a Real Grade kit combining the iconic mono-eye mobile suit with the futuristic flair of the world’s most beloved virtual idol.
This limited-edition collaboration kit is scheduled for release in August 2025, with a retail price of 3,850 yen (Approximately $25 USD).
ZAKU x MIKU – A Collaboration That Sings
The reveal dropped during ZAKU × MIKU Day, where Bandai also announced a wave of Miku-themed Gundam models, cross-game collaborations (Taiko no Tatsujin, Gundam EXVS), and even a remix album of classic Gundam theme songs.
One standout track? 『アイドル戦士 / Idol Senshi feat. 初音ミク』, a remixed anthem loaded with Gundam references and Vocaloid energy!
Color Reimagined – A Fresh Look for a Classic Suit
This version of MS-06S Zaku II takes the original RG model and gives it a complete makeover with Hatsune Miku’s signature colors:
✔ Turquoise blue, matte black, and soft grey-white armor parts
✔ Uses new molded plastic colors—no painting required!
✔ Includes exclusive realistic decal stickers with:
- Collab logo
- Miku’s iconic “01” shoulder marking
- The number “39”, a nod to Miku (“mi” = 3, “ku” = 9 in Japanese wordplay)
From head to toe, the Zaku feels like a performance-ready machine, rebranded for a digital diva.
Real Grade Engineering Meets Idol Aesthetic
Built on the same Advanced MS Joint inner frame as previous RG kits, this Zaku delivers:
✔ Excellent articulation for expressive posing
✔ Highly detailed outer armor with pre-colored separation
✔ Functional power pipes, multi-layered armor parts, and joint flexibility
It’s not just cute—it’s a high-performance plastic model worthy of both Gundam fans and Miku collectors.
Weapons & Accessories
Just like the standard version, this Miku Ver. includes a full combat loadout:
- Zaku Machine Gun
- Zaku Bazooka
- Heat Hawk
Now you can pose Miku’s Zaku ready to rock the battlefield—or the stage!
