  1. I like giant robots.

  2. Dappergguy is dapper.

  3. I’m just not a fan of the Rex’s proportions.

  4. Not really a fan of Rex’s design and the lack of yellow on the HG is highly disappointing. I wonder if the FM also has the same problem

    Reply
  5. The Papagguy is quite the dapper gentleman, but I think that top hat should rightfully go to Ballguy. Never forget Ballguy.

    Reply
  6. Papagguy looks quite proper

  7. The Lupus Rex’s sub-arms would look cooler in action if they were holding some guns or swords from other kits/ option sets while wielding the corncob mace! Also will Gunpla TV show kits like the Mechatro WeGo? They look cool

  8. Oh gods I have been looking for that powerdoll kit everywhere! So hard to find!

    Reply
  9. I like the shoulder armor of the lupus and the long arms of the rex? does the 1/100 come w/ the red shoulders of the lupus?

    …and hand that powerdoll over here thank you.

    Reply
  10. Not looking forward to masking and spraying those yellow fingers, I can understand that the correct color separation is a bit much to ask but couldn’t you at least give us some stickers Bandai?

    Reply
  11. To be perfectly honest, I don’t like how the Lupus Rex (or even the regular Lupus) look. It’s too much for my taste.

    Reply
  12. I was hopeing you would try a 4 legged pose with the lupus rex for the entire review!

    Reply
  13. I hope I’m not to early in commenting to win this weeks price.?

  15. Wow that lupus Rex is awesome! Nice episode guys!

    Reply
  16. Isn’t “Lupus” a disorder or something? Maybe a failure in the Gundarium alloy?
    Beargguy is pretty cool.

    Reply
  17. Hmmmm! I know I have a spare Acguy kit somewhere!

  18. On a scale of 14 to butts, how much do you like gunpla?

    lova that powerdolls2 it looks smooth and bulky.
    looking forward for the next show.

  21. That Reginlaze kit looks surprisingly good. Love the angular design on it, plus the included basic stand is a good plus.

    Definitely going to have to get one for myself soon

  22. If Tod love big feets, what does Sid love?

    Reply
  23. Im Waiting for Bael and the New Kimaris, You can Kitbash Lupus Rex with Lupus’ Arms if it looks Disoriented, I think those Extra Arms can hold all Barbatos’ Maces

    Reply
  24. I didn’t know they made POWER DoLLS kit, The More You Know.

    Reply
  25. wow, I didn’t know that Barbatos come with a base.

    Reply
  26. That’s a big box for the 1/100 barbatos.

    How about that Kimaris Vidar?! Undecided on whether I like that or not.

    Reply
  27. awesome show,

    Reply
  28. I would like the POWERDoLLS2

    Reply
  32. The giveaway kit looks great

    Reply
  33. Cool Rex. Also luv that thunder thigh kit!

    Reply
  34. I agree with you on the Lupus Rex kit, they should’ve at least included the stickers for the fingers. Papa bear looks cool with the top hat and mustache.

    Lovely giveaway kit, I want that!

    Reply
  35. Dollz

    Reply
  36. holy cow that kit has massive thighs.

    Reply
  37. ME … WANT … POWERDOLL … never seen that kit in my life but it looks awesome. … Syd and Todd as always, great job, and yes please please please let’s get away from building Barbatos and all his 500 forms, there are plenty of kits that we will love to see you guys build and review other than IBO, just my opinion of course 😉

    Reply
  38. When will it be my time to win.

    Reply
  39. The impression I get of the Rex is that Bandai rushed it to roll-out, and that’s why it doesn’t have the coloured parts it should. I’m hoping the final version is ‘finished.’

    From pictures I’ve seen, Kimaris Vidar continues the trend of being armed with modelling tools. This time it’s drills. But I like the Dendronium-style shields.

  44. What’s a Powerdoll? Looks cool though.

    Reply
  45. OMG, now I feel old cause I did play PowerDoLLs 1 & 2. They were really old school turn based strategy game for PC, I played them as a fix for more after playing the Front Mission games back then.

  59. Great show as always guys! Short and sweet~ Makes my Mondays a lot more tolerable! That Papa Guys is so dapper! I’d like to slap that mustache and top hat on the PG RX-78-2 and make a dapper PG complete with a bowtie! That black and white color scheme would be awesome!

    Reply
  60. More Gunpla news is always awesome.

    Both new Petit’gguys are amusing, I might get the soda pop one because I like blue and ice cream. The Reginlaze Julia is a must have for me, the hollow parts are a disappointment, but otherwise the kit looks sick, i’m definitely getting one for myself. I might get the FM Lupus Rex one day for a Rex since the HG has parts that i’m not fond of, but since i’m not a huge fan of the MS I probably won’t anyways. The stand is a nice inclusion for the first timers though, and I can see fans of the MS buying this great kit.

    Not a huge fan of the Beargguys in general because the concept doesn’t fit my tastes with me, but I think this is a neat one despite that. Still won’t get one myself, but this guy is certainly a dapper fellow.

    The HG Rex was unfortunately disappointing to me. My main problems are the stickers, missing color applications and incorrect arm proportions, although the Full Mechanics will serve as the kit for me anyways. Oh well, the standard Lupus will be my Barbatos’s king.

  85. Have yo guys decided yet whether or not you’re coming Anime Expo this year? I really hope you guys do!

    Reply
  86. Quite a huge departure is the rex from the common barbatos design. It’s strange but quite intriguing as well. Keeo up the great job guys.

    Reply
  87. I think you’ve just sold me on the Lupus Rex, I was on the fence for the longest time

    Reply
  88. Imagine a Turn A with the Papa-guy’s mustache.

    Reply
  89. I hope Bandai stop this Bearguy-mania soon!
    If they want to do other mobil suits that looks funny that ok! Just stop the Bearguy (and sons, and wife, and mother, and…I don’t know! Whatever!)

    Guys I interested in the line called “Super Minipla” because is about the Super robots of the 80’s. Can you show us those kits?

    Reply
  90. I’m really enjoying all of the IBO suit designs and I really need to get my hands on a 1/100 Lupus Rex.

  92. what ever happened to Ryan?
    and i’m really tempted to buy that julia. I have a thing for those buff, oversized, power house kits. maybe i’ll include it with my order of the HG Atlas from you guys? we’ll see..
    oh… and Powerdolls!!!!

    Reply
  93. Can’t decide between 1/144 Lupus Rex or 1/100.. Hope they do a Mega size Barbatos or just more Mega size 🙂

    Reply
  94. Come on Mr. Random Generator, we’ve had our differences but we both can agree that PowerdollS2 would look great in a Titans/Aries color scheme.

    Reply
  95. wait Syd you’re passing on the powerdoll “S2”?? that’s weird, but i wouldn’t mind building it in your stead

    Reply
  96. it’s that possible for berbatos to get another final form?or rex was his final?

    Reply

  108. Hello Syd and Todd, I do have a question but also wanted to introduce myslef. I am a Paramedic in Oregon (United States) and I am brand new to both Gunpla and models. My only experience is a few models when I was a kid. I work the night shift and stay on nights during my off days. I have been looking for something to do at night on my off days which wont wake up my wife and kids and since I have been a life long GUNDAM fan I figured I would give Gunpla a shot, plus it’s crazy cool looking. I Began to watch YouTube on the topic and came across GUNPLA TV, and the PLAMO competition (I am going to be submitting my first build). I am currently watching all the episodes and I am currently up to episode 80 along with the most current 2 episodes. My question is what are both of your favorite Gundam Series, mine is 0083 Stardust Memory, but the mobile suit fights in Iron blooded Orphans are so rough and tough that its a close second.

  109. I come to take that power dolls 2! Oh dear RNG God I plea Thy to get this for me!

  110. I guess calling dibs won’t work, lol.

    Reply
  111. How’s it going Todd and Syde, feels strange to have an episode “so short” compared to recent ones. LOL. Any ways great show you guys and everyone else at HLJ, keep up the great work. As soon as I get my digital camera in the mail I’ll be able to post my entry in the 2017 modeling competition, got a lot done so far, still got a ways to go before I’ll be satisfied with the end results. After viewing the other entries in the intermediate level I feel torn, on one hand I feel more motivated to complete it, on the other I feel like I didn’t do enough work based on what I have seen so far. All the entries look really good so far, soon my entry will join the legions of other gunplay to be judged worthy of the prize. LOL Best of luck to everyone else in the competition. May Gunpla TV go on and on for ever!!!!

  113. Great episode, have heard the 1/100 Rex has better proportions. Excited to get that kit in!

    Also, that powerdolls 2 kit has some major Chun-li like thighs… I need it!

    Reply
  114. I’m really tired of seeing new Barbatos, but it won’t probably stop even after the show ends.

    Guess that’s how people feel about the Unicorn gundam for those who don’t like the design (should be one or two people out there, I’m not one of them though).

  115. Over played bear guy but I’m still gonna buy that Papa guy!….really though bandai….stop.

  133. The box for the 1/100 Lupus Rex is going to drive me crazy. I love the look and idea of it from a packaging design standpoint but a box lid that doesn’t fully close is going to annoy me.

    Stupid complaint, I know. Great episode!

    Reply
  134. I recently saw that Bandai is making more Petit Beargguys. They have blank signs that you can draw or write on. I bet the first one that gets built is gonna have something lewd drawn on it!
