For some completely unknown reason, I've always liked Johnny Ridden, even though I've never read a manga which includes him nor played a game which includes him in a meaningful way. So really, I like his mobile suits and I like his name. He was originally known as "Red Blitz" but his nickname was retconned to "Crimson Lightning." As for this mobile suit, it still has his old "RB" emblem on it. I actually once had a project to re-write the UC gundam series for a Western audience, expanding the story of the One Year War to include several fronts and teams on both sides, including a team of Zeon aces led by Ridden. Maybe some day I'll pick that project back up.
As for this kit, it's a high-mobility type Zaku. It's my first Zaku 2.0 and it really is a great kit. The particulars I'll leave aside because there are enough real reviews of this type of kit on the internet. Let's just say this kit is good enough to leave me wanting more Zakus for my collection.
