Gunpla TV – Episode 174 – 1/48 X-Wing! C-3P0! New Frame Arms!


It’s like Christmas time here for Ryan this week (it’s pretty much Christmas every day here for Syd) with the release of not one but two Star Wars kits from Bandai. While Ryan is mostly occupied with thoughts of X-Wings and space battles Syd takes a look at the newest Frame Arms kit and compares it to the kits released way back when the series started.

For those as excited about the 1/48 X Wing as Ryan is, and for those not as excited but may want to check it out we do an unboxing which you can see here.

 


 
Kits featured in this video:

– 1/48 Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter Moving Edition
– 1/12 Star Wars C-3PO
1/144 HG Char’s Zaku II
1/144 HGBF Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth Ver.GBF
1/100 NSG-Z0/G Magatsuki Houten
1/100 Gourai

Check out the lineup of Frame Arms kits from Kotobukiya here.

  2. I go Federation. They will always defeat the space Nazis.

    Reply
    • You do realize that the Federation has committed FAR worse atrocities then any form of Zeon right? They’re actually closer to being the Nazis then anyone.

      They oppressed the colonies which led to Zeon’s war for independence.
      They refused to let the colony that Zeon dropped hit jaburo and redirected it causing it to hit Sydney Australia killing millions of people.
      The attacked many earth villages under suspicion of harboring Zeon soldiers or the families of Zeon soldiers, which led to the rape, murder, and total destruction of many those villages.
      They purposely covered up the prediction of newtypes to empower themselves.
      They publicly denied the existence of newtypes, while exploiting them for combat.
      They created the titans and did nothing to stop, or punish them for the terrible things they did.
      They did nothing to stop the Crossbone Vanguard until after they took over an entire colony.
      They rufused to do anything about both Zanscare and Jupiter Empires.

      That’s just a few things. Sure Zeon has done some terrible things, but nothing near the scale of the Federation’s.

      Reply
    • I must say.. from the first time I ever laid eyes on the original Gundam, whenever I explain the Anime to anyone, I always refer to the Zeon as “Nazis”… being the first comment I read, it made me laugh.

  4. I’m the winner

  5. I think it’s pathetic that people are actually posting and spamming to maybe win something.

    Anyway, I would like to win something. Anything.

    RG 00 Raiser…SUPER EXCITED…and I have 3 of them on preorder. I’m also waiting for the RG 00 Raiser Trans Am (P-Bandai) which was just confirmed. I plan on getting 2 sets of that one.

    I can’t wait for you guys to do your episode on the RG 00 Raiser. I hope the RG 00 Qan[t] is next. Gundam 00 is my favorite (as everyone knows).

  6. Hey Syd! I finished fixing up that Jegan I won from you awhile back! It looks really nice on my shelf!

  12. yes I go to anime expo every year since its inception and it is pretty large event. I live in LA and it is worth it as for place to eat let me know what you like to eat and ill send you to the right place. Now star wars movie is going to be ok my favorite scene form the trailer 2 i saw at celebration was the handing over the lightsaber a child passing to the mother.

  13. Awh man those Victory gundams! I’d love one! Great episode too.

  14. There a small Hobby Shop near my house that sell a few cheap Gundams, but for everything else I come to you guys.

  15. Why people no like seed?

    Reply
    • Most people really hate all the recycled animation, Kira Yamato is a… well.. pardon me, but a little bitch. Then they go on to say the story is horrible. I personally think they miss the point, it is supposed to be fun to watch Yet, for some reason, people need to sit behind their respective keyboards and be internet a-holes and curse others out.

      I so far love all the Gundam anime I have seen.

      Reply
  16. Why didn’t you show off the peril plastic on the crossbones gundam? Also with the RG it looks like it has less of the two tone colour effect than previous RG’s from the press photos is it the case that bandai is going away from the idea.

    Reply
    • Bandai have steadily been doing less and less of the two-tone main color thing. They did it most extensively with the 78-2 Granddaddy Gundam (I think… four different shades of white/off-white?), and since then they’ve generally toned it down to two variations per color.

      I think, anyway. Don’t quote me on that.

  17. Awesome video as always and when will the rg 00 raiser coming out?

    Reply
    • I believe its this week.

      Reply
      • Officially Showa Day, this wednesday, its an odd day for a release, presumably to give people something to do during GW if they don’t travel.

  20. well guys i hope it goes better in the future and sadly i wont be at the LA Expo, have fun and be safe. Keep being awesome.

    Reply
  21. greetings Syd and Ryan, now after watching the new star wars trailer I felt a bit of excitement seeing Han and chewie and like Syd I felt like a kid again. and just last weekend I did a marathon of all of the star wars movies. After dragging myself through the prequels it was magic seeing the first five minutes of a new hope again. Pure magic, brilliant intro. But New star wars look and sounds authentic but story is the only thing left unknown but I highly doubt we will see anything due to Abrhams “Mystery box”.

    Reply
  22. Great episode as always! Keep up the good work, and those two victory gundams look awesome.

    Reply
  23. Keep calm and build a Gundam ^.^, either high grade Victory Gundam will work for me. i hope i win 🙁

  29. honestly i hope Bandai don’t kill the NG1/60. I love my 1/60 exia. it is a size of a PG but a price of a MG for me its a really good bargain. hope then consider maybe a simple version of 1/60 kits maybe RE60 or something.

    Reply
  30. I haven’t got a Star Wars model kit before. I’ve built some gundam kits but that 1/48 X-wing looks sweet. I haven’t built a Real Grade so 00 Raiser is one I would consider.

    Reply
  31. Wow some big kits today! I have never built anything Starwars maybe I should look into that! What is your favorite brand for Starwars kits?

    Reply
    • About the only brand broadly available now is Bandai. Fine Molds used to be the source for Star Wars models, but their contract with Lucas Arts/Disney/whoever has expired. Being from a scale aircraft model background, their SW kits tend to look generally better than comparable Bandai kits (X-Wing to X-Wing, TIE to TIE, etc.), but they’re getting increasingly rare since, y’know, they’re not commercially available anymore.

      Reply
  32. i mean gundams, but did you see that C-3P0?

  33. Just finished watching Victory gundam about a month ago, loved the Victory and the V2. Also the derpy beam rotors made me giggle every time.

  35. Fantastic episode as always. Have you guys ever thought about doing real world military model kits? I know you have old episodes of your boss doing some car models, but I think some planes and tanks would be interesting as well. Also, Don’t Stop, Carry On! and give me that V-Gundam! (get it because that’s the opening theme- I’ll stop now)

  45. Here’s punching my lottery ticket. Those two are probably my favorite one-two punch of main-guy Gundam evolution.

  69. I love frame arms. Ever since I found out about it a few years ago I’ve been buying their kits. Can’t wait to get this new one.

    Syd and Ryan I am have a question about the rules for the competition.
    Will leaving more than one comment increase your chances of getting picked by the random generator? I only ask because as you mentioned about the spammers I’ve noticed that a lot of people leave more than one comment.

    So those like me who only leave one comment will hardly get chosen and are chances to be picked by the generator will be diminished because of thse people who leave more than one comment.

    Does this make sense?

  71. Great episode as always
    RG 00 raiser? Hell yes! Cannot wait to get it. Im going to pre-order at least 3 as soon as I’m writing this comment! Also, any tips/tricks for custom gunpla? I’m building my first custom gunpla and I don’t want to screw anything up.

    Thanks!

  72. I just had my first HLJ package come this past week. Everything was in great condition. I ordered a set of Assault Kingdom gundams and forgot that they come with gum in Japan. So I tried a piece and I was let down by the fact it lost flavor after about 10 seconds. Other than that they are a cute way of picking up some mini versions of your favorite gundams.

  103. the wait for this new episode was killing me! lol i’m so excited for the HG Zaku Origin and the RG 00 Raiser. was hoping Syd was going to do the Zaku build. i’ve never been much of a fan of zeon mobile suits except for the awesome Kampfer but when I saw how they updated the new Zaku (well, old since it’s from the Origins) and how it’s also very detailed and comparable to the RG version in terms of panel lines and accessories, i had to order it! love the episode and looking forward to the next one.

  105. great episode, i recently finished putting together the 1/72 x-wing and have to agree that it is an awesome kit, though i feel the plastic parts are more brittle because i broke some parts. hopefully it’s much better with the 1/48. they describe it as the “moving edition” is there any “non-moving edition” for this scale?

    glad to know that C-3PO kit is undergated as well.

    keep it up guys, looking forward to your next video, especially from the hobby show(s).

  118. That x wing looks too cool to miss ! Glad i pre ordered my RG Raiser before it went on order stop. As you dont think Mega sizes will be made anymore , is it worth me keeping an order open for the mega size age 2 as i really want to get hold of it but can only find it for stupid prices feom re-sellers? Keep up the good work guys.

    Reply
    • To clarify what they meant: They don’t think Bandai will be making any more NEW 1/48 MSMs. They tend to do limited re-productions of old molds (MSMs, old 1/100s, other anime kits, etc.) every now and again, so chances are your 1/48 Age-2 will see the light of day sooner or later. And at its original retail price, too, to boot.

      Hope that helps. Happy hunting.

  125. great episode as usual.
    i would like to see bandai do a big sized weapon kit. like a 1/1 scale heat hawk or something similar, alright maybe not 1/1 scale but something you could hold in your hand like a real sized axe. could you imagine something like that hanging on your wall?

  147. Set X-Foils in attack position!!!!! God that X Wing is gonna look so freaking awesome when built. Hope you guys can build it and show it off in an future episode (btw missed you last week… had to go back to old episodes I haven’t watched to fill in the gap… am all the way back to episode 92… Ohh the memories…) Anyway, quick question for both of you, If you are going to paint a kit, is it necessary to use primer or a straight forward paint works? I saw the Boss do it like that when building the Tallgeese, so I was wondering if it is necessary or just a recommendation, I am not changing any colors just trying to give a more metallic look the cage that comes with the MG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam HD Colors.

    Hope you or any one can help with that. Keep up the good work guys! Greetings from Costa Rica!

    Reply
    • Primer isn’t strictly necessary, but it does help the paint go on more easily by creating a rough surface for the paint to adhere to. You can simulate the effect by sanding the surface of the piece with fine (800+) grit sandpaper.

  148. When I saw the trailer its like everything I watched from all the star wars movie are like coming back to me then when Chewbacca and Han showed up and Boom! I’m sold! I’m gonna watch that! Syd you should watch the Avengers 2. About the the large Heat Hawk for the tristar origins bandai will sell it as P-bandai (as the time I’m making this comment,it is allover the internet).I like the idea of having the tutorial videos will have its own archive or space within the blog which I and fellow members will appreciate it much.Thanks guys for this amazing ep.

  154. Hi boys and girls.

    Thanks for bringing the spamming to the attention. When looking trough the comments, I can see that only 75% of the comments are one-liners. Used to be 90%
    But still, far too much. I hope in all sincerity that you (Syd) run out of kits to give away real soon, so that it will become a joy again to read through the comments again.
    Can’t imagine what it must be like for you guys:
    -Victory!
    -Pick me!
    -Win!
    etc etc

    Anyways, finally that Frame Arms kit is released. Have seen it on a hobby show episode a long time ago and was interested in this kit. Not loving it so much in real life though. Sorry…

    Thanks for another episode and looking forward to the unboxing/building of the RG OO Raiser (and when you run out of free give aways)

  155. RG 00 Raiser HYPE!!!
    And now the question:
    Is there a chance that next year we will see RG 00 Qan[t]?Last year we saw Exia,this year we will see Raiser,so why not make final Setsuna suit into Real Grade?

  158. How long do you guys think it’ll be until the rest of the Rebel Starfighters are released? Like the A-wing, B-wing, Y-Wing etc? And do you think Bandai will release space battleships like the Imperial II-Star Destroyer and Mon Calamri in a smaller scale??

I like the tutorial Archive because trying to find them in 1704 episodes can be a daunting tasks and I know you have some good ones out there. I am agreeing with Ryan on the New Star Wars Trailer, it looks so great but I am trying to not get too hyped over it and get let down like I was with the prequel trilogies.

    • Comments are picked at random, though if 80% of the comments are a variation of “megasize me/I want that megasize” then the chances of a comment like that being picked are that much higher, no?

    Reply
    • TIE = Twin Ion Engine. They probably thought it sounded super fast, but an actual ion engine, used to propel our interstellar spacecrafts through deep space, generates almost zero propulsion: “The ion drive is comparable to a car that takes two days to accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour…” (Wikipedia)

  265. Noticed you mentioned anime expo and places to eat in Los Angeles. Here’s what I recommend:
    Everyone needs to do In-n-out, but if you do, get your burgers “Animal Style”. It’s on their secret menu, and it’s the only way I eat my burgers there.
    Since you’re going to be downtown, I recommend Guidsado’s for a unique taco experience. Get the sampler plate.
    There’s an umami burger downtown too. Umami used to be on forefront of the LA burger phenomenon.
    My favorite pizza place in downtown Los Angeles is Pizzanista.
    I know yelp isn’t a big thang in Japan, but it’s pretty much how we do things in the states. I recommend you download it, and use that to help you find the diamonds in the rough.
    lookong forward to seeing what you have to sell at the expo.
    hope this helps!
