Bandai 1/144 RG Sazabi

Bandai 1/144 RG MSN-04 Sazabi

The MSN-04 Sazabi is Char Aznable's flagship mobile suit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack — the over-built, funnel-equipped Neo Zeon command unit that defines Char's final stand against Amuro Ray and the Federation. The Real Grade release brings the Sazabi to 1/144 scale with the same engineering detail that made the RG line famous, capturing the unit's massive shoulder armour, integrated thruster systems, and full psycommu funnel loadout.

If you collect Real Grade kits, the RG Sazabi is one of the most accomplished 1/144 mobile suits in the line and a natural shelf companion to the RG Nu Gundam.

This kit is designed for advanced builders and uses snap-fit assembly with the Advanced MS Joint pre-built inner frame.

The Sazabi RG arrived in 2018 and pushed the 1/144 scale to genuinely new territory. The Advanced MS Joint frame supports the kit's bulk while still delivering the dynamic poseability RG kits are known for. Bandai included full propulsion detail across the verniers and backpack, the complete funnel set with mounting points on the rear skirt and shoulders, and the iconic beam shot rifle. Realistic decals throughout, and the kit's seventeen-runner part count is high even by RG standards.

What Makes This Kit Special

  • Char Aznable's Final Mobile Suit: The flagship Neo Zeon unit from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack
  • Full Funnel Loadout: Six psycommu-controlled funnels with mounting points on rear skirt and shoulders
  • Beam Shot Rifle: The Sazabi's signature heavy beam weapon with extended barrel detail
  • Verified Propulsion Detail: Authentic vernier and backpack detail unique to the RG line
  • Advanced MS Joint Inner Frame: Pre-articulated frame for full range of motion straight from the runner
  • Beam Tomahawk and Beam Saber: Close-quarters weapons rounding out the ace pilot loadout
  • Funnel Effect Parts: Clear effect parts for funnel deployment poses
  • Action Base Compatible: Standard 3mm peg for aerial display

Fast Australian Shipping

Same Day Dispatch: Orders placed before 2pm weekdays ship same day. Orders after 2pm or on weekends ship next business day.

Australian Stock: In stock and ready to ship Australia-wide from Mecha Express. The RG 1/144 Sazabi is Char Aznable's flagship Neo Zeon mobile suit with six funnels, beam shot rifle, beam tomahawk, beam saber, and shield included.

What to Watch For

The Sazabi is a complex RG. The shoulder armour is heavy and can cause the kit to lean forward during static display — an Action Base solves it. The funnels are small and easy to lose during posing; work over a tray. The Advanced MS Joint frame, like all RGs, has small joints that can snap if forced — move slowly on the first articulation. The realistic decals are delicate.

Builder Tips: A satin topcoat after decal application is highly recommended on this kit. The deep crimson takes black panel lining beautifully but only after the decals are sealed. Don't attempt to panel line the decal areas directly. Funnel effect parts benefit from tinted topcoat to lift them off the bare clear plastic look.

Build Notes

Snap-fit assembly. No glue required. Sharp nippers and a hobby knife are essential. Realistic decal application tools strongly recommended. Expect an 8-12 hour build with full decal application and panel lining. Action Base sold separately and effectively required for stable display. Recommended age 15+.

Assembly Guide

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED
Skill Level.2 Basic modeling skills are required. Parental supervision may be required for younger children. These kits are generally suitable for beginner builders. A basic set of modeling tools are required including nippers, hobby knife, sanding sticks/paper, file, and tweezers. No glue is needed for the general assembly. Parts will need to be removed by using a pair of nippers and cutting the part away from the runner. Parts may require clean-up where they were removed from the runner.
No Cement Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

No Painting Required

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Great selection of kit, excellent value for money

Awesome kit, great extras. Only criticism is that the kit comes with a base so you don't need the second one. The kit also doesn't have the ability to take the blue LED bonus so if you don't have another use for it it is wasted. Luckily, I'm a Gundam tragic so will always have uses for extra bases and lighting kits.

Excellent service and fast delivery

I purchased on 6 Jan and my order arrived on 13 Jan. It was very well packed, with both boxes in excellent condition. Cam even provided a small free gift in the box! Overall purchasing experience was smooth and hassle-free. I haven’t had the chance to build the kit yet, but based on the service and care taken with shipping, I would happily purchase from this store if there are other Space Battleship Yamato models available.

Very rare with fair price

If you were one of the lucky ones that were able to travel to Sydney Gundam Base pop-up in 2025 and queued extremely early (like the first 40 or so) on the first day, probably you were able to grab one of these. Otherwise, the only alternative I would know of is traveling to Japan and being uber lucky of having it still being sold at Gundam bases. Otherwise, it's a second-hand market, and prices will go up. That said, the price was fair, I think it would be similar price as using a dropship service from Japan, with the exception that it's much faster and way more guaranteed you will get proper merchandise. So, Mecha Express, Cam, thank you so much for your store!
