Gunpla TV – Episode 236 – HG Bael and Atlas Gundam!

We showed the MG Providence in an unboxing video already so we won’t get into that here — which is good, because Syd and Todd were too busy disagreeing over who would get to present the newest kit from Gundam Thunderbolt.

Don’t forget that the Playing with Plamo 2017 Contest is in full-swing. There is still time left to join and enter for a chance to win some amazing prize packages.

Kits featured in this video:

1/144 HG MS Option Set 9
1/100 MG Providence Gundam
1/100 MG Providence Gundam Premium Edition
1/144 HGBF Amazing Strike Freedom Gundam
1/144 HG Gundam Bael
1/144 HG RX-78AL Atlas Gundam (Gundam Thunderbolt Ver.)

    The MG Providence looks really good, although the Freedom waist joint scares me a bit. I personally want the regular one, because while the ZAFT stand looks really good, I don’t think it and the waterslide decals are enough to make me want the special edition more, plus the original has one of my new favorite boxarts. Option Set 9 is gonna be great, tones of kitbash potential, and I really like how you get Landman Rodi legs in color OOB, i’ll have to buy that one day.

    I absolutely love the Amazing Strike Freedom, the shiny red frame looks really unique, and I love how so much of the suit is integrated so uniquely. The bulkiness and the sheer weaponry make me a fan.

    The HG Bael looks good, and it does seem like a pretty neat kit. However i’m holding my breath for the FM version because I want that stand, and I want to display a Bael with my Grimgerde.

    HG Atlas looks awesome, a huge shame the subarms aren’t white though, they really could’ve been done with all that white plastic, ahh well. I really like all the gimmicks and stuff the Atlas is capable of doing, and it’s functions make it look really damn sweet. People are complaining about it’s stickers but it’s not like other HGTB kits didn’t have any, i’m quite satisfied honestly, just wish those subarms were white…

  12. Sometimes I fell old!
    I see the Atlas and I think….meh…weird…ugly feet…ugly front skirt, etc.
    I should be happy to see something different but instead I always complain about these new strange designs.

  13. I think the new rg kit is going to be the unicorn Gundam I put my money on it and I would really like to build a origin kit and a Pettit guy

  15. Amazing Strike Freedom looks more promising than I’d originally thought, but it’s also more expensive than average.

    I may get a Bael, I haven’t decided.

  16. rg dynames will be nice

  17. That bael gundam is soooo cool and the atlas has a ton of gimmicks can’t wait it to be implemented in the upcoming anime

  20. Guys, Barbatos,Flauros,and Bael have the same frame right? Therefore:easy kitbash!

  21. I lost it at the ball in the Atlas’s chest.

  23. cool ep atlas looks cool want that local type and petitguy for customs

    Reply
  24. That rail gun definitely needs some color. Right now it looks like a really long Nerf gun. Still can’t decide if I want the Atlas or not. I’m still on the fence.

  25. I’d never though i would hear my name on the previous episode :P.
    Love that HG atlus, it reminds me of a rubiks cube 😛

    Reply
  26. HG Atlus looks pretty unique for a Gundam!

  27. I wonder how an RG Barbatos would look like.

  28. cool to see the Atlas’s gimmicks working out!

  31. March is such a great month!
    Just waiting on 1/100 Bael (my playing with plamo entry!) release to ship my private warehouse which includes the Providence Premium and ms option 9 and gusion rebake (more guns for Akihiro!)
    Can’t wait for your build and review of the providence!

  32. The Atlas Gundam is a creative design, I hope that BANDAI does have the funding to mass-produce such a kit. It would be bigger than the Double-Zeta, Unicorn, and the Nu-Gundam. I love the design of the origin kit and the bearguy would look cute for a center piece.

  33. THE FUMINAAAAAA!

  34. I loved the Full Armor Gundam but I hate the Atlas Gundam! I just find it extremely ugly!

  35. Hope to win the gundam local type. Also wondering what new master grades will be coming out this summer.

  36. Fumina is waifu. Loving the new kits that you guys are showing off.

  37. HEy guys of all the newer kits what ones are you most awaiting?

    Reply
  38. Waiting for my Providence to arrive!!! 😛 Great episode guys.

    Reply
  39. The Atlas is growing on me, especially after seeing what the HG kit can do with his skis. The cockpit ball reminds me that I don’t own any Ball kit in any form and really should. Mass produced Balls helped the Earth Federation win the one year war after all.

    Reply
  40. Am I the only one that thinks the Atlas looks dumb? So how long do we have to wait for Todd to do a kitbash and attach both of the Atlas’s skies to the ball?

    MG Kshatriya when?

    Reply
  41. The “unboxing episode” and now this. Beam cannons are go! “Born in the Bael,” Atlas throw down! Great show. Origin rules. Thanks Todd, Syd, Ryan (directed by…), and Luke (chop chop…).

  42. Surprised about the ball being part of the Atlas.

  43. GEIF FUMINA NAO 😀

  44. After seeing how much the hassle the HG Atlas can put up, I don’t think I want it anymore.

    Reply
  45. I’m so tempted to buy an Atlas, but I already my closet full of kits I haven’t built yet.

    Reply
  46. The Atlas reminds me a lot of Patlabor.
    Maybe they took design cues from it.

  47. Can’t wait to get my own bael, also good show guys

  48. Congrats to Ronin on winning the Gouf. Representing the Advanced Modeler group!

  52. Atlas the”ball gundam”. Seem like a big week next week.

  53. A little disappointed that the globe joints on the Atlas don’t spin around 360 degrees. Maybe in a future MG?

  54. Loca for local

    Reply
  55. Since you both built the HG Atlas Gundam, what is your take on no polycaps? Do you wish they used some? Or is the kit just fine without them?

    Reply
  56. Man, that Atlas is packed! Railguns are always a good weapon to have in your mecha models.

    Reply
  57. Need a comparison of the 1/144 ball to the Atlas Cockpit

  58. I have my fingers crossed, thats a nice looking mobile suit! Thanks for another great episode!

  67. Give me the chocolate

    Reply
  68. I can’t deny the Atlas is simultaneously the dumbest and coolest Gundam I’ve ever laid eyes on. I love it coming in with it’s Armored Core looking rail gun on it’s stupid river rafting raft backpack. It’s absurd in all the right ways.

  69. Great episode guys and i don’t like Amazing Strike Freedom.

  75. Great show. Keep it up

  76. Really love this show! its allways great to build something while watching the show . Keep it up!

  77. Next MG is Justice Gundam. I’m not sure how I feel about it. From the CG model we saw of it, the details are nice, but I’m not the biggest fan of the design itself, and the RG has better proportions in my opinion.

    Reply
  78. The Atlas Gundam looks like a pretty neat kit I’ll need to get that at some point. Looking forward to the MG Providence Rau Le Creuset is one of my favorite Gundam villains and one of the few good characters in Seed. I always wondered why the Gundam Local Type has the price it does it doesn’t come with much but it’s a good looking High Grade kit.

  79. I only recently got into gunpla and when I started I came across your very first episode and I watched all of them in the span of two weeks lol… Thanks to you Syd I’ve learned answers to all my questions I had starting out and have gotten more information on the topic than I could have dreamed of, thanks so much guys for all your help and knowledge!

  80. I like the Atlas but without the funky sled/submarine system thingy.
    Looks really good by itself. Kind of interesting the ball core it has for cockpit.

    Reply
  81. Me want that Atlas , At last me will buy that Atlas

    Reply
  82. Atlas Gundam is very interesting, but it requires a lot of works to make it awesome, sigh…

    Reply
  83. Hope i win that HG Local Type from the Origin line. I have started collecting and painting that line. It will be awesome to paint and mod that kit a little bit and post it here in hobbylink.tv. 🙂

    Reply
  84. Is there any news of more MG Origin kits?

    Reply
  85. All hail the Atlas lord of the Ball master race. Also Syd’s love of RGs inspired me to try to build them all. All I’ve got left is the Strike Freedom, Strike, and Skygrasper. Time well spent.

    Reply
  86. Man that is one sexy box art for the MG Providence! I have a question regarding the plamo contest and I’m hoping it won’t be too late. If I’m entering one of those Macross kits that can transform, do I need to submit pictures with it in the 3 different forms or is it OK to stick with one? I’m asking because I’m afraid that if I transform it after all the decal work, the Waterslides might get ruind.

  87. Have a question for my fellow commenters mostly.
    My backlog has grown huge between zoids and gunpla.
    How big is yours?
    How do you deal with it?
    I try to build faster but cant stop myself from painting all the details.

  88. Atlas!!!! Almost completing my collection of the thunderbolt kits 🙂

  89. I drew you guys some fan art, where can I submit it?

    • Send an email to questions@hlj.com saying you’ve got some Gunpla TV Fanart and they’ll let me know and then I’ll contact you about where to send it. Thanks!
