great episode!
yaramza
Man that blue frame my friend built at a meet and build a month ago. Those blades are nice looking up close!! Can’t wait to see what 2015 brings.
Jdfeist
Man, both of those Strike MGs look awesome. Strike Noir is still my favorite though.
To Sid and Ryan;
1. Do you guys think that a RG unicorn/Sinanju would be possible for Bandai to do?
2. Even if it is possible, do you think they would release it?

The PG unicorn looks great!
Can’t wait for mine to arrive
Keep up the good work
Gundariumsmith
Welcome back and happy 2015!
If the Dragoon stand was included with the MG Blue Frame D, I would have already picked up the kit. Other than that, the Red Frame stands supreme.
Jason Brewster
That MG Strike is absolutely beautiful and would be perfect for my upcoming birthday 😉
Faiz CES
what happen to the red blade liger – lion ver?
peterparkk25
Glad you guys are back~ I lobe seeing the new kits built every week
Neil
LED Gundam Unicorn as Christmas Tree =D
mr_supornchai
you’re back!!
matt kwon
the blue astray d looks hectic! hav to save up and buy it
Cody
I am in love with that Storm Trooper. I’m excited for the kits coming out this year. That MKIII is on my list. Great show as always guys, whoever wins that painted build by Syd will be a happy camper. (fingers crossed)
rabbitbeall
Question for sid. Just built my unicorn and was wondering about panel lining. Should black or gray be used?
kajnrig
I know you’re asking Syd, but in case he doesn’t get to it:
It depends on the color of the panel in question and the effect you want to achieve. For white/off-white/beige/etc. panels, most people tend to use some shade of gray; it accentuates the panel line and breaks up the panel without contrasting too sharply against the light backdrop. Black is usually only used if you want to get that high-contrast look.
On darker panels, you obviously need darker panels to effectively show the panel lines, so black is used for those.
But that, of course, is excluding the entire color spectrum one can use. Some people use similar colors for panel lining as the panels in question (ie dark green panel lining on green armor, dark red on pink armor, etc.). Others have used red/blue on white to great effect.
For the Unicorn, panel lining the whites in blue would give it a cool effect (cool as in temperature) in Unicorn Mode. Some of the artwork for the novels looked like this, I believe. Doing it in red would mirror the psycho frame. Grays and blacks would also work just fine, as they’re the standard go-to for this sort of thing. It’s really up to you. Hope that helps.
Hendra Go
Blackkkkk 🙂
MacBeth
Hurray! good to have you guys back. I still cant decide if I like the strike rouge colour scheme…
Candy
happy new year guys, how were your holidays? ?
DaJammyDogerito
wow the Blue Frame looks so sick, i want it sooooo bad
JWBoulden
It’s going to be a great year for Gunpla and Star Wars! Oh, GIVE ME STRIKE! I love the Strike Gundams in all of their variations. Great episode as always guys! I wish you both well for the New Year, and welcome back!
Kamatori
Great episode as always. Loved seeing Ryan nerd out about Star Wars.
superdah
Welcome back guys! Happy new year 🙂

MG Perfect Strike! The sword pack runners are a dead givaway. 🙂

Happy New Years guys!

Happy new year! Maybe this year I’ll win something!
BazzBro
i require Geara zulu Master Grade :3 com on bandai dont let me down
omegazeke
looking foreword to the new wing zero and would love to get the mg strike. 😀
Dowgy100
You guys are awesome. I hope i win one of the strikes. Either way i love you guys.
foxhound
I’m loving the Astray D ;). I think its overall look is even cooler than the Red Frame and first Blue Frame. Those Strike MGs going to the lucky winner (me pls) look great too.
eL
The blue frames are cool, for me it’s the color variance of the blue frames that make me swoon. The Orange, white and blue make for a better look than red, black and white. Still I’d like to see Bandai ignore the Seed line this year and focus on anything else – grunt suits from Unicorn, Wing and OO would make me happy as a lark.
Hendra Go
I like Red astray better because it has TWO samurai swords!! Samurai swords…. WOW! 🙂
blckspottdzebra
Kicking the new year off with an Amazing start! Amazing Red Warrior! Was a little weary of PG Unicorn, but after seeing Syd’s build and other post on the r/gunpla subreddit. I will most likely be getting one when they restock in March.
Also hoping I can win that “Special” handjob from Syd! 😛
Takemi
The Blue Frame D is a little too busy but I do love all the gimmicks it has. I hope I win the giveaway though. I already have a Strike Rouge so I’ll probably give it to a friend who would really like it!
Zip
Unicorn is a lot bigger than I thought…
Kamira
I am strikingly happy at the striking number of strikes you guys are giving out this week!
zeroone
Still very excited for the PG Unicorn.
Blue frame is nice, I’d still like to see an updated MG Gold Frame.
Ruze
I was stoked when I received my PG Unicorn. It’s built now and I have to say it was really fun building it. I love the amount of work Bandai put into this. It’s now standing next to my PG Strike Freedom and they both make for a really snazzy display. All that’s left is to wait for my pre-order of the Full Armor Extension kit and then it’ll truly be a door stopper!
jonnyMAGNUM
That Wing Gundam Zero Honoo is gorgeous! It hasn’t shown up on Build Fighters Try yet, but I can’t wait! That’s going to look amazing on my shelf.
You wanted comments on Star Wars and the Peter Jackson Tolkien movies. I quite enjoyed the LOtR movies, but I couldn’t get halfway through the first Hobbit film. The book was a childhood favorite and I just felt that instead of watching a lackluster adaptation with extra junk added (Legolas …) I could just read the book for the millionth time.
As for Star Wars, I’m on board with everything I’ve seen and heard. The new Storm Troopers look great, the new animated series is quite good for what it is, and the fact that the extended universe stuff was retconned doesn’t bother me at all. It just means that the new stuff that will come out has more importance to the movie and more Star Wars is never bad.
Phew! Sorry for the long-winded comment. Anyway, Happy New Year Syd and Ryan! Glad to have things are back to normal and can’t wait for another great episode.
NotAhGundam!
I wouldn’t hold my breath on it making an appearance, since from my understanding its from the BF manga.
stanley xia
another great show. hope this time I can gets a MG XD
jacky28c
Good job on the Stormtropper. I should get mine shipped. 🙂
atski
Welcome back..!!!! How i missed watching every week. Ayway goodjob with the pg unicorn.
Omygosh 2 strikes. Winning any of the 2 is going to be a godsend. *breathes heavily*
gary
finally back! happy new year!
Joe
I liked most of this episode. I’m not much for Star Wars stuff, so that was a little bit of a lull in the discussion for me – but I’m sure those kits and figures sell well, so I respect the marketing effort.
Tcharty
When I was at the movies watching battle of the five armies. My friends and i were laughing and we almost got kicked out for laughing too much because how stupid the movie was
T-Bone
I like the MG Aile Strike but I don’t want to mess up the paint job. So PLEASE the strike rouge, its pink I know but who cares?!….its still AWESOME!!!!
jcee30
awesome episode as always and also i would love to have the free mg 🙂
SteveQ85
I want all the kits!!!!
Bartlomit
Everything from Build Fighters Honoo looks great. Here’s hoping that Bandai releases more from that series (looking at you Double X Stream and God Gundam Kiwami)
sirrometrix
I just pre-orderd the gundam wing zero honoo… so fricken excited for that gunpla
Ajax
Hlj nummmber one baby!
Ichigolo
im still wating for my RG shining and god gundam to come out
darknessrage
I’m loving the way the new G reconquista kits look.
Dillon Pang
I WONDER IF THERE ARE GOING TO RELEASE THE PG UNICORN GREEN FRAME OR GREEN LED .
eL
That is what I want, the candy cane unicorn doesn’t really move me but that green psycho-frame do like.
NotAhGundam!
Probably Yes to both and probably a Banshee variant. That is unless the sales of the Unicorn are terrible.
sawrd
I want to see an opaque frame like deactivated unicorn but then the led’s can give the color with color variable LEDs. That would be amazing but the cost 😡
the blackwolf howls
am i the only one who thinks Aile strike sounds sort of funny? Like I think of “Ale” and …someone attacking you with it… or someone attacking your ale.
ovi the gr8
Hey Syd how are you enjoying the NHL season so far? And who are you guys rooting for in the NFL?
Cody J
I LOVE!! The new amazing red warrior. I want one so bad. I love the new season of GBF Try. The PG Unicorn looks AMAZING. I can’t wait to get mine.
minimad
Great start to 2015 with this months giveaway. I’m really looking forward to the RE/100 Gundam mkiii and the Dijeh.
Punkndrublic
I need to get all the Star Wars. Do they have the holiday special Chewbaca family set
yet?
randomking0x70
Great episode as usual!
Leo in Japan
Both of those Strikes look good. I am not sure if I will pick up the Blue Frame. A couple questions on painting as I am just starting out. Do you find it is better to paint on or off the runner and do you prefer to use a spray gun or spray can? Thanks.
kajnrig
1.) Painting on the runner simplifies matters, but you’ll be left with ugly unpainted nubs when you snip the part off the runners. Undergating mitigates (sometimes eliminates) this problem, but undergating isn’t very often used. That’s what Syd was trying to show off with his painted Unicorn inner frame; the feet and legs, which weren’t undergated, had ugly bare plastic showing, whereas the joints were undergated and thus that same bare plastic doesn’t show on the finished build. If your kit is undergated, by all means, go for it. Otherwise, off the runner is often your go-to route. (Besides, if you’re doing panel lining and hand-painting specific parts on HG kits and the like, you’ll have to do so off the runner away.)
2.) Spray guns offer better control, more even coating, and better bang for your buck in the long term. They are, however, a much more expensive initial investment. ($100+ for a spray gun/booth/pump/etc. versus $5 for a spray can.)
ThatAsianBoy
I hope you all had a wonderful new year! I wonder what gunpla the RE 1/100 would release this year!
mejibray
MG Strike! Also dat Unicorn. So sexy
Unikhorn
Hello people
Alfrazar
Awesome episode as always Syd and Ryan. You guys should talk about more nerdy things in the videos. The talking about the Hobbit was quite entertaining. I have a long haul a head of me because I only got into Gunpla a about a half year ago and I got a lot of kits for Christmas. I have a lot of building to do and might post the results.
bigzeek
Your unicorn gundam looks amazing. I wish I was that good at painting and detailing my gunpla.

super47
Happy new year guys!
Xero113
1/100 MG Gundam Astray Blue Frame D, is one kit i definitely wanna buy now after seeing it with the duel sword set up, great video guys, and yes the hobbit movies could use some trimming, Also when did dragons not become enough of a threat to carry a movie.
Simon M. Ruidera II
I love this episode since it featured Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper! 🙂
looking forward to the next episodes… OH! AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!
Cdidle

Mr_Rhymes

On the topic of seed/destiny im curious on what your thoughts are. Despite the series not being like by many (even myself to a degree) im just in love with the gundam designs in the show(destiny gundam being my favorite) Perhaps because there are so many gundams in the series to choose from.
javi

That PG Unicorn de-amroured…looking fierce by itself!!

I loved how the MG Gundam Astray Blue Frame D looked from the preview pictures but after seeing a video on it I am going to have to buy it!
Nayoelw
Strike Gundam!
I wonder if the PG unicorn can use a milky grey psycho frame with either red, green, or no LED but still looks good
kajnrig
I asked a similar thing prior to its release. Molding the psycho frame in colorless clear, with different LED sets released in different colors to achieve the pink/green/gold/blue effects might not have been a bad idea…
Tyler
That blue frame is looking dope
jay ar hautea
Aile strike for me. And strike rouge for my wife… And we lived happily ever after…
Eihplar
just built the blue frame it looks amazing with the blades put together.
net garcia
Happy New Year Guys! 🙂 red warrior to start the year. love GBFT model kits.

jasonmagda
Ohh! 2 MG’s to give away… what a nice start to the year!
Kila2000
Yea baby!! PG Sinanju!!
ooooooooooooooooooooooo
TheDeadComet
So glad you guys are back!
I don’t mind all the new adaptations of movies. If they suck, they suck, and there’s no use getting bent out of shape over it. I can always hold onto that original, or whatever version I still love.
That stormtrooper kit will make for some awesome crazy custom builds (and the internet will yell at you for killing their childhood).
PG Unicorn was an awesome build (my first PG). The main rifle runner on mine had a lot of molding issues on the edges of the parts. Not a difficult fix. It looks sooo good up on the shelf, and seeing it light up is a total joy.
Happy New Year guys! Looking forward to Gunpla TV’s 2015 season!

Have been waiting for you to finish build MBF-P03D Gundam Astray Blue Frame D. Happy New Year.
Linsey
Astray Blue Frame D… Perfect!
Jaminox
For some reason I’m just not that excited for any of the Star Wars models. I love the first three movies but I am just not amazed by the stuff model wise. I guess I’m just happy sticking to robots/mechs.
aile.astray
I would die to get that surprise
MrGummyBearGguy
Welcome back guys and happy new year.
First of all, I thank you for your awesome episodes. I just started this hobby last December of 2014 and this addiction is all thanks to you guys. GyaGyaGya
With the new GBFT kits, I’ll be a happy newbie this year.
And with all those new Star Wars Kits, the hype is ON! It’s ON!
May the Force be with us ALL!
PS: I hope they won’t ruin my childhood with the new movies.
Trevor Kast
Hey Guys, Nice to see you back for 2015. You are completely correct the 3rd Hobbit was lame, they could have squeezed that book into 2 movies and it would have been long but real good. Ryan be careful about mentioning the Falcon going to start a “finish the Falcon” rant again from everyone, haha. Love to grab a Seed Kit.
Paradigm
2015 is going to be a lot of red. MG Build Burning, MG Wing Hoono, RG Red Warrior would be interesting. Most interested in the RE line, hoping to see some Mobile Armors and Ships.
soundwave1387

Happy New Year!!!!!

2015 is looking like a great year for kits, really looking forward to the MG Double X
Josue
I just built my first gundam!!! But IDD like to see a costom painted one by syd. That way I have an idea what a costom painted gudam should look like.
Kawaguchi
what was your first kit if u don’t mind me asking? mine was the hg exia gundam ^^
Steve
Always a pleasure and informative watching gunpla tv. Can’t believe you’re giving away 2 of my favourite MG! Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that because of your show and my growing interest of gundams (built my first kit in 2014 which was the hgbf build strike w/ plavsky wings), HLJ became my goto place to shop and browse! lol Also, me and my gf are very happy on being able to get our PG unicorn w/ LED from you guys shipped all the way in Vancouver BC in reasonable time and costs. After watching many reviews and WIP videos (esp Syd’s), we can’t wait to build it as it is one of the coolest kit.
Anyways, happy new year guys and keep up the great work!
Alantjw
great job guys. hope I win something soon.
GundamNovice
Great to see you guys again and hope you had an awesome. I want to know what would be your guys’ gunpla predictions for this year.

2015 Live performance from Darth and the Troops!!

I already ordered one from HLJ. Can’t wait to get my hands on PG Unicorn!

This year should be a pretty exciting year in gunpla. I’m hoping for a few MGs from Reconguista, but just about anything could be fun to build. Keep up the great work and hope to see lots of videos this year.

Jaberwak
@ryan and @syd
Nice episode guys. Any ETA on the livestream for the RE Mark III build?
And on the topic of the movies. 2015 will be a year of butchering childhood memories with all the great 90’s hits getting the remakes.
Cloud
Aile Strike RM was my first MG. I’m glad it was cause it was a solid kit with exceptional balance. Wouldn’t mind getting another one though. 🙂
Sideout
I like Bandai’s version of Stormtrooper more then Revoltech’s. Great episode as always Sid and Ryan. I hope I win a strike 🙂
Zee
Thanks for the 1st episode of the year! always enjoying the show.
Yay for Gundam Double X! Going to get one and put beside the X.

Jeman
OMG the Aile Strike ver. RM!! I only have the earlier version.. 🙁
OJ
Syd, are you going to pick up the Bandai exclusive PG Full Armor for your Unicorn? Got mine on pre-order with Gentei
soulz01
That blue frame looks cool. I thought the blades were a little much at first until I seen that you can turn them in to two swords very clever
Nick_2Pro
Getting ready to order my Amazing Red Warrior. It’ll go next to a strike gundam mg *cough cough, hint hint* >_> yay gundams 😀

Zaku 90's
Hello Syd and Ryan!!!! thank you so much for the show of 2014, it was all fun episodes i watched. Especially on the “comment to win a gunpla”, i really appreciate it, i look forward to 2015 for all the fun show!!!! thank you^^
Gunplayer
Happy New Years and happy building in 2015! 😀

Hey Syd and Ryan, great episode as always.
I got a question for Syd:
Is there any way to de-color a colored effect part? (like a Gouf 2.0 heat-sword)
kajnrig
The Gouf 2.0 heat sword is molded in clear orange, so the short answer is “No, unless you’re willing to lose the transparency.” The long answer:
Since the effect isn’t achieved via metallic coating a la the Titanium Finish/Pearl Finish/etc. special edition kits, you can’t just strip it down to the bare plastic. The only way you can get rid of the effect is to paint over it.
Alternatively, you can create a silicone mold of the part and recast it using clear resin. Problems with this method include, among other things, the recast part often being just a smidge smaller than the original (due to vulcanization effects during the casting process) which leads to fitment issues.
alberto
nice episode!
hand job from syd! LOL
Jay
Great paint job on the PG unicorn kit and the blue astray looks sick
neoz3r0
i hope i win this one …
WizR
I think you make a good point about all these movie sequels : why do they need to be so much over the top ?? Just give us what we like !
sparta112
awesome great to see you guys again, and hot damn wouldn’t mind that aile strike built by Syd
SCSI-Sama
Strike, Strike rouge, enough about Strike lets talk about Strike!
Out of the PGs i’ve built and seen, the Strike is at the number one position. The Strike has trhe perfect design to become a PG, the suit itself has no attachments that hinder it in our gravity and the very open/exposed frame gives plenty of design room to add tons of visible detail and moving frame all over it.
xelloschong
justice check~! freedom check~! strike, time to get u check~!
TheRedLeviathan
Happy New Year! Been waiting for a while for an episode. Man oh man I sure want that Wing Zero Honoo!
ioneflycrab
Finally back! Great show as always. The Astray looks great. I hope I might get one of those MGs!
Waterstar58
GUNDAM STRIKER!!!
Wasabi Samurai
Oh man, so much to love about the Strike mobile suits and the Astray frames that were based on them. Just love how they arent as blocky as UC suits or lean like Exia, just the right amount of awesome for all your laser firing missile blasting needs!
xelakon
Thanks for keeping us covered!
Love the Astray Blue Frame D i might get one
AZianman
im looking forward to those star wars kits!!! keep up the great work guys!
hope to win a strike
Karasu2894
Happy New Year Hobbylink Japan! This year looks pretty awesome for Gunpla, looking forward to the RE/100 Mk-III, a lot of potential for custom work, keep up the great work, you guys got me and my brother into the hobby and continue to make it awesome, a big thank you from both of us 😀
Aoex
Howdy Syd and Ryan! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too. Astray Blue Frame D looks awesome especially with that custom action base with sword blitz effect parts. It’ll be next to my MG Strike Freedom, Nu verKa and HiNu verKa.
And by the way, those two Strikes looks good on my shelf. Gimme that! ^_^
#hobbylinktvrocks
ichbineinebanana
Can’t say how excited I am for 2015! The PG Unicorn, Star Wars kits and Astray really sets a decent benchmark for a year of building. 😀
I’m starting to really envy you guys. You have the perfect job, being surrounded by great kits and great people. Law school will be the end of me, it seems. 🙁
Shiniryuu
Happy new year to all of HLJ! It’s grat to see you back in action ^^
Anyways, hope I win something this time…
HesedEl
Hey happy new year guys!
How did you celebrate your New Years?
Kotlol
Loved the video guys. Great start of a new year!
Can’t wait what you have in store for next!
Also you haven’t STRIKED out yet.
Cthulhu
Yeah, Double Strike!
Btw the left leg of the Trooper, the one on the plate, is backwards.
GhosT Quanta
Happy new-year guys, glad to see you back 🙂
and double strike awesomeness !!
crossfadeking
need to pick up some new kits, im new to gunpla but am hooked. love the show, but makes me jeallous seeing all these awesome kits
WAN ABDUL HAKIM
WOW!
Nice decal on MG STRKE Sid.
warchimedes
Very good episode. The PG Unicorn looks awesome. I haven’t done a PG yet. I have the PG Zaku II, but it is still unbuilt.
adisma
Happy New Guys!
Mathew
The more I’ve seen of the Star Wars Trailer, the less excited I’ve become. The new trooper helmet design reminds me of Rorschach from Watchmen (the movie version at least). But the scene with the YT-1300 gives me the impression that it’s the camera moving around it rather than the 60+ year old freighter performing aerial acrobatics.
BlackHaro
Happy new year syd and ryan! Looking forward to new kits this year!
Dat strike tho… X2
John
I’m New here, and i must say this is Awesome, i Love the Blue Astray Gundam, and i’ll probably get that Storm Trooper
GrizzlyViBritannia
The paint job on the Unicorn looks really good, now wishing I’d done the same thing, I’m not willing to pull that guy to pieces to paint it now.
Tragic mouse
Can’t wait to start on my pg unicorn!
masterf
That discussion on movies that you had was quite interesting, would be cool to do something like that more often.
Noel G. Francisco
May the force be with us this 2015 🙂
LTPoh
i wonder what’s the extra in the Strike RM box
Galbaldy Alpha
A Happy New Year guys! Hope you guys had a relaxing break.
can’t wait to see what Bandai gonna bring out this year. Well keep up the great show guys!
Cheers!!
GEMS
Syd and Ryan really need LotR plamo so they can talk about it more.
TreSims
Wow those r some nice kits. If I get the strike rogue I’d finally be able 2 do a custom paint job I’ve been wanting 2 do
Zaaroci
Strike!
Love me some Seed kits!
TaBreeze
Those blade designs from the astray are so slick and awesome
AndrewF

Great episode. Really looking forward to getting back into the Gundam building game this year.

Strike that MG STRIKE..:D peace
Strelitzia
Love the show, so much to look forward to in 2015. Would be nice to win too 🙂
KiraJesusYamato
I want to win cause I ordered my MG Aile Strike Ver. RM by an amercan online shop 4 month ago and it still haven’t arrive yet 🙁
Connor
Let me win please 🙂
Tim Covington
1. Hobbit movies – After seeing the first movie, I could see where PJ was going. So, I decided not to watch any of the movies after the first one.
2. I would love to receive either of these 2 MG kits.
CaptainYamerica
Is it just me or has Bandai really shifted their focus more into the 1/144 scale range (especially with Build fighters going strong)? I’m an MG guy and I want more of these great kits I see in the HG/RG line to come to MG. I might just break down and start getting some 144s.
CaptainYamerica
PS. The strike Rouge is my favorite *wink**wink*
kajnrig
Bandai’s always released more 1/144 kits than 1/100 kits simply because of the lesser complexity required in their engineering. Japanese consumers also tend to gravitate towards the smaller kits because of their generally more limited living spaces (or so that’s what I hear).
Frankly, I’m still waiting on an MG Palace Athene. Chop chop, Bandai.
CaptainYamerica
Oh believe me. I get why there re more 1/144 kits. That I get, but it just seems like there is such great possibility for these series to grow into the MG market as well. But, I guess I am just being greedy. I want all the kits to be in MG 1/100. Part of me feels guilty for really liking most of the bots from the Build fighters shows thus far, even some of the ones you only get to see for a few minutes.
raime
been waiting for the rg wing gundam zero custom! but still this episode was informative.
Coyotess
Cant wait to see the unicorn lit up without the armour on.
Would be awesome to win a kit from you guys, especially if it was painted up.
baui
Great to see Gunpla TV back guys
LeeRo85
Another great ep guys, good to see you back!
Plamobot
That bare frame even looks cool on its own!
Drebin-115
glad to see you guys back! this is going to be a good year for gunpla. i cant wait to get my pg unicorn
quant [z]

Eze
Great to have you guys back! Let have a awesome year!!!
ErazEr_gunblazE
personally I have no qualms whatsoever about the cross guards on the lightsaber. take it from someone who watched the original series, IMO its something new that I will gladly welcome for the new movie.
Zail
Great episode and so glad you guys are back.
Jamesylk
You are finally back… i miss u so much… aile stike hell yes…

Mic

ps I really like to win a mg strike rm 🙂
jayy
third strike and you’re out!!! hahaha…
SkiNNy741
I love the pg unicorn. I was initially skeptical about getting it because I thought it would have been really difficult to build (first pg) but instead it was incredibly enjoyable from the first page of the manual to the last. Great build!
awesomesauce
Happy 2015 guys!
Anyways i didn’t think the Hobbit was that bad. Seeing King Dain being a badass was pretty cool.
WZGUNDAM
Happy New Year! Look forward to hopefully building the RG Wing Zero and PG Unicorn in the near future! Great job again and keep the episodes coming!
SacchiX
Nice to see you again guys. Happy 2015! 🙂
caesar117
Happy New Year Guys(probably won’t be New Year when you read this)! Hoping for that Strike Rouge!
Buddhakai05
Signed up just so I could say this…
I think the lower left leg of that storm trooper is on backwards.
And also- MG Strike! Either one could fight my MG Wing Ver. Ka.
megamike75
i hope bandai releases the zaku tank in Mg scale. i saw pictures of it from the 2008 shizuoka hobby show
aaron
NICE
moglopyre
Happy New Year! So glad I got back into gunpla last year, and partly because of your shows. So thank you very much for that. And here’s to another awesome year of gunpla!
Derrick
Awesome! love to see more of what you’ll be doing with your PG unicorn after you do up your light.
Merk232
Great episode guys! Love that new Astray, can’t wait to get one of my own.
adrian garcia
enough talk about the hobbit and lets get to the gundam.
eL
“2015 looks like it’s going to be a bumper year” – Syd. I’m hoping 2014 wasn’t that great in comparison to the prior year and I’m hoping none of them are Seed kits, enough is enough Bandai.
Vasco
Man,the trooper looks AWESOME!
LoupeGarou
I loved seeing the frame of the unicorn PG. I think that would be an epic pic…all the PGs Frame only!
Red Astray Please.
Will you guys be getting more DMK 01 optimus priimes in? I noticed in an episode you said you were getting more bumblebee.
Kethrenan
Good show as always Ryan and Syd, I love Gunpla TV and can’t wait to see more reviews by you two in 2015
Christoph
Best year 2015 so far.
cyberhero647
great reviews on the movies and on the kits.
Turon13
Hey syd! We have the same thoughts about the hobbit… anyways good 1st episode for 2015… 🙂 im claiming your gunpla anyway.. 🙂

Arbeagle
Hey syd i love Strike Gundam please let me have one! Happy New Year!
Commander Jang
Surprises! Here I Come!
SaviourChaos
Here’s hoping for the Aile Strike and quite honestly Syd, I’d have to disagree with you, 2014 was actually a crap year for MG’s, save for a lot of re-issues with extra parts, all we really got were the Gundam X, Turn X and Hi-Nu Ver Ka.
Balgus
Been itching for a Strike RM. Here’s to hoping!
Koosh
Happy new year guys, heres hoping the RNG gods smile on my comments this 2015
alex
i want a custom hand job from syd 😀
Arasan Crish
That unicorn is awesome.
aphiet
Happy New Years guys. nice to see you all back on Gunpla TV. Hope this year will launch many sexy MGs like Tallgeese III and Burning Gundam. Frankly I kinda boring about kit from Build and G reco series, even though they get a ‘somewhat’ costumized wing zero in it but still bores me.
I want some original kit from early series.
tell that to Bandai would you? :p
kajnrig
The TG3 is already available as a P-Bandai online exclusive, which means only Japanese customers can buy them, which means you have to go through a middleman, which means sometimes significant markups. Yay for you.
Ninja1011
LETSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
jozee
Happy New Year. The gunpla highlight of 2014 for me was the Build Burning Gundam. I think it raised the bar for HG line
Brik Bardo
Awesome Episode. Can’t wait to see more about the Unicorn. Hope I win the Syd Hand Job.
JJ
Strike me a Rouge please
Draco_Veil
I don’t think there will be anything this year that can beat the PG Unicorn. I do hope we get MG G-Self though.
Kou Vang
Syd the Gundam Santa. How was your guys holidays? I will be happy with any of the 2 MG.
Tim
I hope I win this time.
Starbuster
What’s the surprise? WHAT’S THE SURPRISE!?
Tim
awesome episode! looking forward to the LED lighting in the unicorn.keep up the good work
Pockybait
Thanks for the strike XD
Ellis
This year I’m gonna step up my Gunpla game and build some MGs

I can’t wait for the 2015 MG’s
EnsignModeler
I really am taking a liking to those Stormtrooper kits!
LtSly
Welcome back guys! Good to see ya!
Martin
I have faith in JJ Abrams. He is a mssive star wars fan, and a genius film maker.
The PG unicorn is SOoooo amazing, i wish i manages to buy one. Any news on when it will be available again?
Happy new years and welcome back guyz.
teetee580
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
Nice to see you back in action! Got a lot of my “Syd Fix” the last month, but not my “Ryan Fix”, glad to get it finally! Thank you!
As for the movies…., in my opinion CG nowadays is less expensive then in the “old days”, so they tend to go overboard with it. It used to be actors that carried the movies along with a great script and a good director, but now it’s CG…
I don’t care as much for movies like that, I believe that “Less is More”. A great story line always beats CG, but hey, that’s me…
I still haven’t finished building my PG Unicorn, got the legs, waist and torso done (all painted, thanks to you Syd, did different colors on the back of the knees, vents of the skirt armor and ball joints on the hips), but so far it was a pretty sweet build. Just have the feeling it is missing something that other PG’s got. Maybe it’s the pistons in the feet, legs and arm pits…? Or maybe I’m spoiled. LOL
Sorry to bring this up, but you brought it up on yourself Ryan….
In episode 103 you stated that the Falcon would be done before the new Star Wars episode… Think you can hold your promise?
I’m looking forward in seeing that kit finished, as you did an excellent job thus far on it!
A little question for you my dear Syd.
Since when are you wearing a wedding ring? As I recall there was no ceremony involving a ring in Japan. Now you have one, you finally caved in? ROFL
Anyways, great having you back. Will continue supporting HLJ in 2015!!!
PS., if there is any chance the Mr. Number Generator picks me as a lucky winner, please contact Kethrenan on this blog. I would like to give the kit to him. He has seen a difficult year and I’d like to support him this way. Thanks
ColaBear
What a way to start a new year and what a magnificent PG unicorn your building, wish i have those set of skills and time. 😛
Cipher
Welcome back guys! I’m can’t wait to see 2015 MG’s, i think i’m gonna buy the Double X as soon as it is released
tomtom87483
Nice! The Wing Gundam Zero Honoo looks awesome. I think I should start a collection of coloured wing Gundams, since I already have the Fenice Renascitta.
kokekokoko
Sweet episode guys!
Welcome back and happy new year!
We need moar MG’s!
Karyu
Yay, you’re back. Looking forward to the Wing Gundam Honoo which I preordered. Trying my new year luck on those 2 MGs.
kokekokoko
Sweet episode guys!
Welcome back and happy new year!
Bandai, please… we need moar MG’s!
Chase
2014 was a slow year of gunpla for me.. but one part of my new years resolution is more time for model kits! so lets start it off right and win an aile strike!! hahaha
Kaima
Nice one 🙂
IwannagoFast
The storm troopers look really good, very excited for the boba fett kit to come out!
Kevin Wong
LOL at the “handjob” comment
BZWingZero
2014 was a great year, I look forward to a great 2015 full of HG, RG and MG.
Plus the Aile RM frame is great. I saw some light blue in the Aile RM’s box, does it include the Sword and Launcher Striker packs?
I’m looking forward to the RG 00 Raiser, which kit are you looking for this year?
Ronald
I love watching your show and hopefully I will be able to come to your store when I go to Japan when I get stationed there with the Air Force because I love everything about Gundam from Gundam 0079 to Gundam G no Reconguista
mikem107
man i built a unicorn myself but i didnt realize how sexy it was without the armour which is something you dont get to see when building
Ethan
happy new year, guys! i’m happy to see the show back and i hope the regular schedule is back too. i actually built my first kit from hlj a week or two ago! i was very excited to get it. i’m hoping that this new year is full of gunpla for me, but it looks like it’s going to be full of more car repairs instead.
King Gojira
Welcome back guys.
Daakness
Awesome episode guys! The wing gundam hoono looks amazing. Can’t wait to buy that! The build fighters series is just awesome to me. Can’t wait for more kits.
Crisper
Loving all the new Star Wars stuff!
Padoca85
Way to start 2015 with the Right foot.
uncopiita
Awesome! 2015 here we come!
yourT167
i just built my own blue frame d, really cool kit and wondering who’s gonna get syd’s strike twins….
Vexx
this episode was great keep up the good work and happy new year
RoboFanatic87
Great to see you guys back. This episode was awesome. That Astray Blue Frame looks amazing.
Mattybear10
I suspect the model stormtroopers still have better aim than the real one.
Jerry G
hey guys from Hlj do yall know when the PG gundam unicorn is going to restock ?
Piglet
Yuuma: “T-That’s-!”
Fumina: “This can’t be happening!”
Sekai: “It is happening!”
Mirai: “JIGEN HAOH RYUU! SOTEN….GUREN-KEN!”
ROCK AND ROLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TwoHands
got the last PG Unicorn from HLJ.
But still waiting for the LED Set restock.
TheIrishLizard
Oooooh, I just got a Strike RM for Christmas, that Strike Rouge would complement it nicely! ;D
Dmoon
Nice video as all was Guys NEED MG
Nans
Nice Episode Guys ! now… (silence) Give me the Goodies !
🙂
connermd
I was excited about seeing the hobbit but now I’m worried… Good episode guys glad you’re back!
Neon Wave
For you, Syd, 2015 is a bad luck year. But for me, 2015 is supposed to be the year we get self-lacing shoes, hover boards, instant pizza and flying cars. I’m still waiting, science!
czechmayte
I absolutely love the PG unicorn. Glad to see the bandai star wars series line up as well.
thejes1
hope I win a strike and also I have a question to syd. you know you sometimes use an eraser to take off panel lines when you mess up? I do the same thing but when I paint my kits then panel line them it takes off the paint too. any suggestions?
kajnrig
In case Syd doesn’t get to it:
What you want to do is clear-coat your kit after painting. Apply a layer of gloss coating to your kit after you’ve painted it; this seals the painting in so that anything you do above the gloss coat won’t affect it. It also helps the panel lining more easily follow the channels of the panel lines.
Once you’ve gotten panel lining down the way you want it, apply another clear coat. You can use either gloss (shiny) or flat (not shiny) coats, depending on what you want.
Hope that helps.
Jadgement
A PG unicorn in 5 hours, amazing. I couldn’t imagine building one in 5 days, let alone 5 hours.
Adam
never said this before……i missed you boys!
Doody
Dam I like the look of that blue frame
AjinoMoto412
hurray for seed series!
Kovy
Great as always guys!
I’d LOVE to win one of those Strike suits.
If I won, I’d buy whichever won I didn’t win and create a normal Strike Ootori and an Aile Strike Rouge!
Better get both of those in stock just in case, boys. ;P
Zeroconvoy
I’m not really a fan of star wars, but I would like to get ahold of one of those trooper kits.
Shack
Great episode.
I just watched SEED so it’d be sweet to get some SEED MGs.
Keep it up.
Gary
Please give me the MG strike babies MR number generator!!!!! please!!!!!!!
Phil
I really hope they eventually do a PG Exia, even though I kind of doubt they ever will.
SEELE
Happy new year guys!
Sid I wonder which metallic color you’ve used for the PG Unicorn frame. It seems slightly darker than silver but not so “yellowish” as Gun Metal.
Jay Siritaranukul
OMG another MG
nick MaV
Happy new year! Great episode! All those kits look totally on point!
Wölf
Happy New Year , and shall it be named the year of Star Wars. Here is a question, what Gundam kit would you guys do if you were in charge(worked at Bandai) of doing a Ver. Ka or 2.0/3.0? Great episode as always and hope to see more awesome eipsodes.
Revam
Welcome back guys, happy new year =)The blue frame is very interesting, expecially whith the combined swords!
Thovaron
I want to see you guys build the R2D2 when it comes out!!!!
hope you guys keep this amazing show on for long time longer, you guys rock!
mrrehino
Horay for gunpla
kenjotong
Will they ever make a Mg ZZ gundam 2.0 or 3.0?
David
Great episode guys as always. Hope you had a great holiday. I had PG fever myself and built my dream PG Wing Zero Custom. Hope I win that gundam!
UltimateMapler
The Superior Defender Gundam Force is strong with this one.
Cody C
My guys are back! Loved the episode. Can’t wait for more, my friends.
Maku879
I can’t wait to see that Unicorn with all the LEDs in without the armor! It’s gonna look really cool! I just wish I had the money to get my own.
(P.S. I LOVE the Strike Rouge.)
Kazemegaman
Awesome Vid!!!
Dave
Good to see new kits coming out so early this year. Excited to see more content!
Dalton allen
It’s great to have you guys back and what a way to start the new year the strike and the rouge hope I win either would be great
mao beats sei
What’s the surprise!
Hellvin
Hi!How come you didn’t talk about the MG Dark Exia?It supposed to come late February. And am also waiting for the RG Raiser to be up for preorder!
And lastly, please Random number generator, choose my number,lolz!
Modoki
I’m digging those posters in the background !
Johnny
Happy 2015 and welcome back! Looking forward to the new kit coming out this year! What about you guys? What kits are you guys looking to get your hands on this year?
Realrebelus
I really like this show and personally can not what for the new Wing Flame Gundam to build and customize,I am a huge fan of the seed and wing gundam eras. I would like to see a kit using those led’s in a different color set for the unicorn not a fan of the red.
Woodfish
4 THE WIN!
Hurricane.force
Liking the look of the star wars kits , the AT-ST is going on my want list.
epicdragon
Glad you guys are back!
Kevin
I WIN!!???
Coop
that pg looks cool without any armour, almost worth leaving it like that
Y-Gadul
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!! (｀_´)ゞ

2 MGs is nice, When will the rg OO raiser come out?
Scorpio0608
pink gundam is the manliest gundam
drAInbAmAgE
Great episode and glad to see you guys back. The Unicorn looks great and hopefully i’ll be able to get my hands on one once HLJ gets them back in. I have a question about painting on the runners, how much flash/seam line issues did you run into? i paint and detail my frames since i feel they are not “complete” otherwise, and i sand lots of seam lines off when im cleaning the parts. I think that painting on the runner would make those flaws more pronounced, just looking for your opinion on that.
Quasar
Oh man, that Astray is looking gorgeous! Well, except for the weird orange (which I’ll probably paint over once I get my hand on the kit).
ooohzuuu
hi syd thanks for the strike !
lorancehack
wow 2 MGs ?? thanks syd !
Pat
Great episode, have to agree with you on the movies, too much surface glitter and not enough substance. The colour combination on the blue frame is nice but with all those blades, seems a bit overkill to me and with them combined on the arms, it’ll have the same chance of shredding up it’s own backpack as it does enemies. PG unicorn looking awesome, can’t wait to see the LEDs fitted.
Infi
love those spikys on the astray ! i think i’m gonna grab one from u guys oh and hope to get the strikes too 🙂
NotAhGundam!
Welcome back Syd & Ryan I hope you guys had a great time with family over the holiays.
Star Wars is all about the money. If Lucas had thoughts to the contrary, the insane profits from merchandise made them fly away at hyperspeed to a galaxy far far away.
But at least with Disney at the helm you have a shot at a decent film, that frankly Lucas does not currently have the talent to produce.
Despite all those digs at Marvel, Avengers is today’s Star Wars. Most people aren’t going there to watch the CGI, the’re there to watch 60+ year old characters to tell their stories for the first time on the big screen. Hello infinity war, I have been waiting my life for you!
Also, can’t wait for that PG Unicorn. I was terrified of painting it, but it looks like that inner frame won’t be as big a nightmare as I thought.
Thanks again guys, look forward to the next episode!
Chibs
Bandai’s truly improving their plastic. I build a PokePla Pikachu a while back for fun, and while it had no undergating, the way the parts were connected the nubs turned out almost unnoticeable if cut right, it was an impressive feat.
FrostbiteS
Awesome!
Merloficus
Ahw, i liked The Hobbite: Battle of the Five Armies :/ But then again i have not read the books. Still, love what Peter Jackson did with the material 🙂
Wing zero variation in Build Fighters Try! Realy want to see that baby in action! Hope it can live up to the Fenice.
PS. Tell Bandai to build some more 1/100 Saviour gundams:D
Aqua X
Welcome back guys!
That Star Wars/Hobbit movie rant was a bit long though… but Syd and the Millennium Falcon loop…LOL!
I’m kinda curious about that surprise with the MG Strike but I’ll probably never know. 🙁

Even though I came here for the Gunpla I have to say that I love the Storm Trooper model. That thing was amazing. I have been a fan of Star Wars for a long time and even though I might not think of Star Wars kits when I think modeling if I had seen more like that I would definitely consider building a few.
Jraptory
Wow! 2 MGs!

My Unicorn is still in the box along with my RG Zero, I so want to build it already but we’re moving houses in a few weeks time. I don’t want to risk damaging them when we move.

Welcome back, Syd and Ryan! And happy new year to you both!
My question for you is which gundam do you think will be receive the Ver. Ka treatment in 2015?
Will Bandai ever consider doing an Astray Red Frame Ver. Ka in the near future?

Gary

I’m going to end up with a whole row of custom painted Stormtroopers, aren’t I? Oh well, there’s probably worse things I could be spending my money on. Like movie tickets 😛
ZGMFX2OMG

Good to see you guys back! Happy New Year!!

Sign me up for the free MGs!

For me, what peter jackson did with the fellowship of the ring (my favorite movie) earns him a lifetime pass. I didn’t really care for the hobbit series but he’ll always be the man to me. JJ Abrams does not have that honor, and if he screws up Star Wars I’ll go Darth maul on him. Ps love those strikes!
NotAhGundam!
He did bring Star Trek back from the dead. So at the very least he can revive a franchise.
redme123

Happy new year guys! What do you two think or regonguista G ? I myself am not a huge fan of it, it’s labeled as a kid’s show but I’m having trouble on seeing it as one, specially because it’s a big mess. Thanks to you two for always making these videos 🙂
Shem
I still prefer astray red frame compared to blue frame
xIGetUm
Let’s hope that 2015 will give us an MS-08TX Efreet! I’m hoping that Bandai will give us the EXAM version of the Efreet.
Mr.Awesome
