The Sazabi is one of my favourite mechas, but I won’t write a 500-word essay on why in this post. There’s several versions of Sazabi in the market (MG, HGUC, MSIA, HCM Pro) but I went for the HCM Pro version due to its size. Even for the HCM Pro, there’s 2 versions of the Sazabi: the normal and the special painted (SP) version. It was worth holding out and waiting until I found the SP version because it looks sooooo much better. Plus it already has decals on it.
Even though it already looks good out-of-box, i felt compelled to add some panel lines, mostly on the joints and hands. I also painted the beam sabre and axe with clear green because they originally came in yellow color. The amount of details and level of articulation on this model I would say surpasses the MG and HGUC versions. And I just love the metallic red color. Don’t just take my word for it, have a look at these pics or better yet, get one yourself…

Okay, so I was on the way home from the summer festival (that’s another story) and stopped by Sumiya (kinda like a deparment store) to buy a roll of Tamiya masking tape. Normally the gunpla there is kinda expensive, but at one corner they had a stack of MSIA and HCM-Pro stuff on sale. The HCM-Pro models were selling at 1000yen each so I grabbed 4 boxes: Ez-8, Gundam Ground Type, Zaku II and Geara Doga. I thought that was the end of my Gunpla spending for the month, but it doesn’t end there…
The next day I went to another department store to buy some stuff when lo and behold, my most coveted item, the HCM-Pro Sazabi Special Painted version was on display on the shelves. It cost around 3800yen but still cheaper than the online prices I saw. It didn’t take take me long to contemplate buying it. In fact, I’m not sure I was even thinking when I made my way to the cashier.
And so ladies and gentlemen, those were the events that conspired to deplete me of my Gunpla budget for the next 2 months. I’ll leave you with the picture of my HCM-Pro shopping spree. They’ll most likely stay inside their boxes until I finish off my Gelgoog (95% complete) and Zaku minelayer (inner frame complete).
