Gunpla TV – Episode 263 – HEXA GEAR Hidestorm!

This week we take a look at another Hexa Gear release by Kotobukiya, the Hidestorm! With its 8 lusciously long articulated legs with menacing blades on the ends, this kit sure looks fearsome! Not to mention it is quite the departure from the usual biped mobile suits featured on the show. But just how does this bug hold up? Watch to find out!

Kits in this episode:
1/24 HEXA GEAR Hidestorm
– 1/100 RE/100 Guncannon Detector

  14. Anything you can use there in Japan paint and glue wise, we can get here off of the net or locally. And why are you limited to 1 week you have spoken of a kit with 5 transformations that you have not finished yet.

  15. I really want to try Kotobukiya kits, don’t get me wrong, I love Gundam kits, but hey, variety is the spice of life.

  16. What’s everyone’s favourite build (overall)? Mine is the HGUC Sinanju with all of its detail, articulation, and awesome weapons.

  20. They finally represented reconguista in G(bad storytelling,but their suits are “unique”) and Age series(seasons 1 & 2 were great,3 was meh…).Valentines,for me at least,is going to be spent on hours of cramming for tests;which gives mere more reason to stock up on chocolates for “brain food”

  28. Hey guys, remember that Bugu you gave away a few episodes back? Well I customised it and wanted you to see it. Thanks for giving me the chance to build a model I probably wouldn’t get otherwise. BTW the audio is in portuguese but I added english subtitles.

  29. When I saw the Haros the first thought that came to mind was to make pool table diorama with them just so that I can play with my balls 😏

  30. Squid Fries?! How about sending some of them my way instead…?

    Reply
  31. I would love it if Bandai make some more MG 0083 kits!

    Reply
  32. I love the design of the hexa gear kits, I heard that they are planning on making it into a board game, can’t wait to see how it will turns out

    Reply
  33. Hoping to win the store credit! Great show as always!

    Reply
  34. While I’m happy to see divers redesign Age and G-reco kits the continued redesign of 00 2nd season and possibly Wakening of the trailblazer kits are even more exciting to me.

    Reply
  35. Todd takes the Kotobukiya Bionicle Challenge and wins! And no biology tips this week. Good show. Dear Bandai, an MG Zaku-06 (FZ?) 3.0 would be nice….maybe a Hajime Katoki version? Anybody? Bueller?

  36. The day robot spiders become common on this earth is the day I sneak abort a spaceship and leave the planet.

    Reply
  37. These Kotobukiya kits are nice but this kit looks like it would take up a lot of space for such a small kit!

    Reply
  38. This kit is a bit like the Sentinels from Matrix.
    You will talk about the “re-releases” of Mega Man 1/10 series by Kotobukiya?

  39. Keep up the good work guys!

  48. I like the Guncannon Detector looking forward to a review of that kit. Looking forward to Build Divers curious what other custom kits will turn up in that series as well as any cameos.

    Reply
  49. I’m looking forward to your next MG kit review, it’s been a while…..

    Reply
  50. I don’t understand the YouTube comments complaining about not covering enough gunpla or spending too much time on Kotobukiya and other brands. I personally appreciate the variety as I build frame arms girls, FMP, Macross and others. Love seeing new things that can peak my interest. Keep up the great reviews and variety guys!

    Reply
  51. I have recently watched the Build Diver prologue episode and I really like how Bandai is starting to include the MSs from more recent series. I am hoping this can be a chance for lesser know MS to make the spotlight. What are your thought?

    Reply
  52. That Hexa gears looks great like a spider with long leg. Daddy long leg spider

    Reply
  53. Kinda expensive for that legs-thingy. Or are these tentacles? Good thing for FA’girls humiliation scenes tho.

    Reply
  54. That thing looks like a robotic face hugger.

    Reply
  55. Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    That 2000 Yen you said,
    will look good in my HLJ account too

    Reply
  56. Its always good to see Koto kits on this show. That Guncanon looks super neat.

    Reply
  57. that Hidestorm looks freakin fantastic! i just don’t get it why they name it Hidestorm. it’s not like it can hide anywhere looking like that.

    Reply
  58. Great videos, I’ve been watching for a while but I just got an hlj.tv account. I was wondering if there was any chance of you guys covering the Dragonball figure-rise standard kits, I understand that it isnt mecha but I was just curious since they are Bandai kits.

    Reply
  59. more interested in hexa gear now

    Reply
  60. Would also love to see some Macross reviews. Keep up the great work.

    Reply
  61. Need 2000 yen to fund the HG Leo army. Each week is like giving out 2 Leos.

    Reply
  62. I see potential for a custom build with this thing, i think ill grab one when i come up with an idea for it

    Reply
  63. Interesting hexa kit, but not my cup of tea. Thanks for the review.

    Reply
  64. The Hyde Storm is definitely an impressive kit, it’s just got so much presence and parts separation, and looks so cool, not to mention that sweet purple colorscheme. I heavily dig it, definitely contender for my favorite Hexa Gear.

    RE/100 Guncannon Detector surprised me so much but I was excited from the moment of announcement. I love the Guncannon Detector but never thought it’d get a kit, but low and behold, RE/100’s MS choices never, ever let me down. I love obscure MS like this, and the Guncannon Detector os one of my favorites, bless this grade.

    Reply
  65. Hopefully, I will win that 2000 yen store credit.

    Reply
  66. The design of the Kotobukiya Hexa Gear Hidestorm looks exactly like a spider.

    Reply
  67. What do you guys think of that giant transforming Unicorn?

    Reply
  68. Hi good folks
    Can I ask if their is any news on the Haro versions that are coming?

    Reply
  69. Hexa gear looks cool, but the re 1/100 tho. Gun cannon detector, way into left field for me. Did not expect that. Still waiting for re 1/100 leo so mg tallgeese won’t feel alone, wing gundam has his 4 man army, so why not tallgeese and his leos? could be as cheap as the HG, since it looks really simple for it to be $8 aprox. But that gives it, it’s appeal. Simple.
