uild Char Aznable’s ultimate red Mobile Suit
Recreate the imposing MSN-04 Sazabi from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack with this Bandai HGUC 1/144 model kit.
Designed as Char Aznable’s personal Newtype Mobile Suit, the Sazabi combines massive red armour, powerful close- and long-range weaponry and its distinctive funnel system. The HGUC kit faithfully captures its broad proportions and heavily armoured silhouette while remaining fully poseable after assembly.
Bandai developed the kit with updated part construction and polycap joints to improve its range of movement. Its shoulders, arms, waist and legs can be positioned in commanding standing poses and dynamic combat displays, despite the Sazabi’s substantial armour.
The backpack carries the Sazabi’s funnel system, while the included arsenal lets you recreate both ranged and close-combat scenes. Equip the model with its Beam Shot Rifle, Beam Tomahawk, Beam Sabers and large Neo Zeon shield.
The model is supplied as a traditional runner-based Gunpla kit. Its pre-coloured components connect through Bandai’s snap-fit system, so glue and painting are not required for a complete build. Panel lining, detailing and optional painting can be added to further enhance the finished model.

Important information
This is an unassembled plastic model kit, not a ready-made action figure. The components must be removed from their runners and assembled before the Sazabi can be posed or displayed.
Glue and painting are not required, but hobby nippers are recommended for clean part removal. The kit contains small components and is unsuitable for children under three years old.
