Gundam – Zakupla-kun DX Set (Runner Ver. Recreation Parts) 1/1

The Gunpla universe also has its own Zaku!

The 1/1 Zakupla-kun DX Set from Bandai Spirits brings the cute Zaku II version from the Gunpla-kun series to a fun little 1/1 scale model kit. But this set has a very special detail: in addition to being able to assemble and display Zakupla-kun fully assembled, it includes specific parts to recreate the appearance of the model still attached to the runner.

An original and different proposal, perfect for Gundam collectors, Gunpla fans, or simply for those looking for a curious piece for their desk or display case.

🟢 Zakupla-kun: the little Zaku

Zakupla-kun is based on the legendary MS-06 Zaku II, one of the most recognizable Mobile Suits in the entire Mobile Suit Gundam universe.

Its design maintains the essential elements of the Zaku, but reinterpreted with the cute and cartoonish style of Gunpla-kun, creating a compact and lighthearted version of the classic Mobile Suit.

Despite its small size, it features some of the most recognizable elements of the Zaku, including its characteristic mono-eye, which can also move sideways.

🧩 You can leave it on the runner!

The great peculiarity of this DX edition is the Runner Ver. Recreation Parts.

The kit allows you to choose between two display methods:

Assembled Zakupla-kun
Assemble the character and equip it with its weapons to get the traditional version.

Runner Ver.
Use the special included parts to recreate the appearance of Zakupla-kun still as part of the runner, as if you were looking at a kit before starting assembly.

It's a particularly fun nod to the modeling experience itself and the concept of Gunpla.

🔥 Zaku Armament

The DX Set includes three of the most recognizable weapons associated with the Zaku:

• Heat Hawk

• Zaku Machine Gun

• Zaku Bazooka

This way you can display Zakupla-kun equipped for combat or use its weapons as independent elements within the collection.

👁️ Movable Mono-eye

Although it is a small and simple kit, Bandai has incorporated a very characteristic detail: the mono-eye can move from left to right.

This small mechanism allows you to change the direction of the gaze and give different expressions to Zakupla-kun depending on how you want to pose it.

📐 1/1 Scale

Unlike the usual HG, RG or MG, this model is made in 1/1 scale.

Its approximate size is 9 cm, making it perfect for placing on a desk, next to your Gunpla tools, or as a small complement to a Gundam collection.

🧩 A Simple and Different Kit

The body is made of PS (polystyrene) and is designed for simple assembly, following the Gunpla-kun philosophy of making the modeling experience accessible and fun.

It does not require glue for assembly and its parts are designed to be easily assembled.
