    Gunpla Expo was last week which meant our camera gear was getting packed and prepared for that instead of filming our regularly scheduled episode. Now that we are back to our regular schedule it means we’ve got […]

    • That Mini Merry alone made me want to win that Thousand Sunny more. hahahahaha!!!

    • ONE PIECE!

    • I just finished G Gundam and I’m having a craving for the kits now,
      This hand of mine glows with and awesome power! It’s burning grip tells me to buy more gunpla!

      • I never liked that show but I would be willing to buy some of the stupid-looking ones like the Fish and the Windmill just for the lulz.

    • Amazing Burning Build Gundam

    • Oh thousand sunny! I love One Piece!

    • AI YAI YAI!!! dat lupus!!!!!

    • Hoo boy! So many new kits! You guys are going to be busy next week!

      This year’s Gunpla expo was amazing, so many kits that I am so hyped for. We’re finally getting more love for the HGUC line with the Efreet Kai and the Blue Destiny Revive, and we’re FINALLY getting that HGUC Barzam! The giant Mobile Armor was revealed, HG Atlas Gundam and the Gundam Head MS were here, new IBO kits and the Amazing Strike Freedom. The new MG Providence looks so insanely beautiful, very excited for that one, hopefully we’ll see an MG Justice joining it soon. We’re getting a new HG Zeta, and judging from the joints/new line, i’m assuming that thing can transform, so i’m very hyped for him! Psycho Zaku is getting a lot of hype/excitement, it’s going to be a beast of a kit. The new Full Frontal’s Zaku III is one good looking MS, and the new Gundam from Twilight Axis really reminds me of the Alex. RG Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina is looking good, and I hope they manage to mekki plate it. Not to mention all those variants, I hope they aren’t P-Bandai. >_< Curious about the Hi-Res Wing Zero Custom, but not exactly excited, going to see how it is first, but the RE/100 Hamma Hamma is going to be awesome! HG Nightingale would be beast Todd, I support you.

      Transient Gundam Glacier looks like an absolute beast. Transient interested me, but the white felt a bit too bland, but this thing has sold me, it's dark purple colorscheme is complete beast. The RE/100 Bawoo is a kit i'm super excited to purchase, it's got a nice splitting gimmick, big n' bulky, and not to mention all that beautiful surface detail, cannot wait to buy mine. The Guncannon First Type is going to be great too, the Cannon Type MS always caught my attention, and this new realistic dulled blue looks great, and the shoulder weapon gimmicks are great ideas, I want it. I'm debating whether or not I should get the 1/100 FM Barbatos Lupus or the HG, right now i'm leaning for the 1/100, but I don't have a lot of space, and the HG is cheap, plus has more accessories with the option packs.

      The HG Geirail is one of my favorite MS from IBO, it's got minor gripes like the pure grey butt thruster and the hollow shield axe, but i'm still going to get it one day. I'm debating whether or not to get the HGCE Strike Freedom, it doesn't have dragoons for FBM, and that's kinda my main gripe with it, but it's a great kit from what I can see, so I dunno. Seems each Strike Freedom in every grade has some gripes that affect my choice for purchase. *sigh* MG Strike Freedom 2.0 with certain mekki golden parts when?

    • PIRATE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • I love the RG line, which I picked up after Syd raving about it for so long, but I’m not a Seed fan. I’m kinda disappointed we’re getting ANOTHER Seed RG, one not even from a main story but a manga, but at the same time man I love that armor plastic. I still wish we could get some more UC RGs though. What’s your ultimate RG desire? Mine’s definately the Ez-8/RG-79G, either one I’m not picky.

    • Love the episode guys!!Hopefully more build fighter suits will come out soon, as much as I love the barbatos, I think I’m ready to move on to something else after so many.

    • Hey Guys!
      One more time Hello from Greece.
      I hope that I’ll win some time and especially a gunplay.
      Keep up the good work. 🙂

    • boat plamo. nice.

    • Sexy lupus.. Weet weew.

    • it’s not everyday that you can die from overdosing gunpla like watching this episode. i’m always on a tight budget so HG releases are always good news to me. keep up your great works guys, build them all and show us. and thanks for everything.

    • Vidar was the only one that shocked me as the naming wasn’t a demon from the ars goeta.also coincidence on the anime mentioning bael and the expo “probably showing it off. Also Boat.

      • Honestly the only reason its called a ‘Gundam’ is because it uses the salvaged Kimaris pieces, so its not one of the 72 Demon Gundam so much as its the successor to one such Mobile suit. It wouldnt exactly make sense if they had named it after one of the Ars Goetia Demons’ considering their names were all used already, and the Vidar is technically a new suit.

    • Seeing the Barbatos’ standing beside each other, you can really see that all the way up to 6th form they were just adding onto the original suit taking anything they could, you have blocky pieces right beside smooth or angled pieces, while the Lupus is Organic and really seems more demonic to me probably closer to its original War look, he has very sharp and angry features with smoother armor plates and shoulders. Anyways great show as always. Super excited for the Gold Frame RG.

    • Love the new kits 🙂

    • I’m waiting the second version of the Guncanon Gundam Origin version because it got the dual canon, might pass on for this version but I will not pass on to the RG GUNDAM ASTRAY GOLD FRAME AMATSU MINA so oh my boat please don ‘t be a P Bandai .

    • Thousand sunny!!

    • OH GOD the thousand sunny looks so awesome!

    • I WANT THE BOAT!!!!

    • Nice boat!

    • So does ‘Full Mechanics’ now mean ‘detailed NG?’

      I got the RG Strike Freedom, so my super dragoons can come off, plus I have the mechy gold. I painted the plain gold too.

    • maybe i’ll win a boat if not a gundam 🙂

    • my daughter really want that thousand sunny!she watched that kit’s review everyday in youtube

    • Guncannon can’t take much because it’s probably made by scrap parts from the junkyard. xD

    • I was so happy to see the Efreet get a HGUC. that will be a definite buy when it comes out.

    • Wow a gunpla sale as well as a new episode of gunpla tv on the same day. I’m feeling lucky, I hope that I will win the Thousand Sunny.

    • I think this has to be one of the longer episodes to date. Looking at the the advance evo line, I am guessing the selling point could be more mechanics, parts count and less sticker heavy; kind of a mix between the RG line and HGUC revive. From the picture I have seen from the expo, it looks like the Zeta doesn’t have heavy parts swapping, so I am happy about that. Apart this, Bandai is really pushing more new kits for next year, almost like they are making up for this year. All and all, it is good to expand my collection, so thank you Bandai!

    • Not sure why the grunt suits even have shields. I have never seen them block anything with it. Hell they even give the RGMs 4 useless shields in Thunderbolt.

      The Guncannon claws look like one of those arcade games that you can grab plushies but the claw is really crappy and it barely has any strength.

      One question. When will we get a MG NZ-666 Kshatriya? Bandai plz.

    • HLJ sales, my money is already flying 🙂

    • Im really diggin the gundam origin kits design. Loving the throwback to “origns”. Never had one piece ships before, didnt even know they exist.

    • Seeing all those kits plus your sale makes me…. Drool. If my wallet can just drool cash that’ll be great.

    • My Guncannon is on its way, I just love that suit in every way, but man those guys in the anime don’t know that Guncannon isn’t built for close combat.

    • i like the new classic kits. oldschool styling but new engineering.

    • Oh great episode guys so many new kits!
      I am really looking forward to seeing the RE Bawoo as it is one of my fav mobile suit!

    • The winter sale came at a perfect time for me to purchase gifts for my friends and introduce them to the hobby! 😀

    • One piece please!

    • Give me the boat and I’ll make it float!

    • I want that boat

    • Nice haircut Syd. Great show.

    • That suny go will look soo cool with my Going Merry :3

    • Thank you for reading out my long-winded comment! It made my day (along with finally getting a dead refrigerator hauled away and freeing up some space).

      It is weird to watch episodes now and realize this is like… NOW… the things you are showing/discussing are either just out or not even out yet!!! Must get used to not being able to jump online and order whatever you are working on in the show (this is probably a good thing looking at the backlog I have created).

      I would gladly take that boat off your hands (hook?).

      Cheers to all

    • i want that boat… give it to me… more power guys

    • 2017 is gonna be big!

    • so many new and exciting kits coming out

    • Again, great episode guys! will definitely check out the store for great deals.

    • I want a boat.

    • That boat looks cool

    • Waiting for new info on that new hg Zeta

    • great episode I like the Freedom gundam.

    • i really hope bandai make a PG barbatos line hmmmm

    • Geireru is sexy!

    • so sad when knowing 1:1 RX 78 will be torn down next year T-T

    • Thousand sunny shine upon me!

    • Are you guys aware of the upcoming limited edition Ver. Ka waterslide decal campaign? starting on December 16th and going for an unspecified amount of time, eight Ver. Ka kits will be coming with limited edition waterslide decals. Is HLJ going to be part of this promotion, or does this only apply to Japanese retail stores?

    • Are you guys going to be at AX next year?

    • gimme dat thousand sunny! it would be the perfect birthday/Christmas present for my brother, (my brothers birthday is Christmas)

    • Thanks guys for yet another great episode. I’m building a couple kits from IBO but I’m with Todd about the high heals. Anyway, great show. Looking forward to your review of the 1/100 ZZ Hamma-Hamma.

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 5 months ago

    Bandai threw a wrench in the works when we were planning for this year’s Gunpla Expo in Akihabara. Previous years had the event starting on a Thursday morning which meant we would not go into the office that day […]

    • it seems Bandai really like PPAP these days, they have high grade, they have accelerate evolution, and ugh, a new HG line.

    • The RE/100 looks like it could be the AMX-103 Hamma Hamma, but that’s also what I thought the Bawoo would be when it was originally teased as the next RE/100.

    • Did anyone else see the gundam vual 9:28 there goes my conversion

    • Oh, a new HG Zeta!!!! Finally, I was hoping Bandai put out a new HG Zeta, because the old one is …just too old(poor articulation). I ‘ve been waiting for Zeta since they revived Mk-II and Hyaku Shiki. NICE!!

    • I can’t believe they got RG Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina. Please don’t be P Bandai, Please don’t be P Bandai, Please dont be P Bandai

    • Wooooooooooooooooooooah! Syd i won your HG amatsu mina, shall i take the rg too?? 🙂

    • The Providence is looking great.

    • can’t believe I’m first to comment. i’m used to watching a video like 5 mins after it comes out and there are like 100 comments.

    • Every time syd announces a giveaway kit I get super excited but never win but than syd announce another kit its like never ending of disappointment followed by excitement every time you guys upload. Anyways good episode again guys and what happen to Ryan I miss the dude!

    • Haha, I will never win. And not even my top5 LOL-moments got read. I know, how you feel.. 🙂

    • cool ep bro

    • “dibs” -Harambe

    • You should try slapping Frame arms armour on IBo frames and vice versa

    • nice……… Harambe came thru, thank you

    • saw the new HG IBO kits for 2017. What will they be?

    • Cybaster/Cybuster? Oh yes please. I must say however that seeing a Frame Arms in action actually makes me interested in that line. I usually just looked away from it due to the frame and armor parts being sold separate from each other.

    • im not so lucky but im not so lucky and im not lucky but i want this

    • gundam horror story. dang…

    • This is a very Nice Homepage! 👍👍👍

    • let me win

    • I wonder if bandai will release actual nippers based on the Gusion Rebake’s scissors. Also hope I win that frame arms kit

    • Give me Cybaster please !! i really like super robot war kit.

    • excited to see the giant chopper! and i hope they make a 1/100 reginlaze. loving that ms design.

    • Love the show guys, looking forward to seeing more IBO kits.

    • Apparently, RNG god hates me
      Maybe Harambe can help me

      Please, let me get that Cybuster

    • been building Frame arms for a while they are awesome kits !

    • does japan have m e m e s like harambe (dead meme)

    • Dubs (comment#22) and trips (episode #222) i call upon your meme magic powers to grant me that Cybuster.
      Also mobile suit gardening and farming should be a thing.

    • how about news and upcoming kits?

    • Hey guys! I see we’re back with another episode!

      Frame Arms are really cool looking. I keep on meaning to buy one, but my money keeps on disappearing before I can buy one (I wonder why BANDAI…). I always liked the thought of inner frames, and the fact that these are compatible with them and look good as well makes things interesting. Plus, they look really good.

      Julieta’s Mobile Reginlaze is a great kit. I’ve just built mine and I absolutely adore it, and while it’s extremely similar to it, I personally think this is the better kit. It definitely looks more feminine than the Graze, especially due to the size and proportions. I also love Julieta, so I had to get this kit, and I did not regret my purchase.

    • Reginlaze looking good. ^.^

    • I refuse to “dibs” on anything…but I guess by refusing to dib I have dibbed anyway…NOOOOOOOOO!

    • Hey guy’s great episode as always.

      Thanks for taking the time to answer my question regarding the Gundam Wing kits a few episodes ago in 219. Sorry for not getting back to you guy’s till now, as I’ve been a bit busy being in and out of the hospital for a long-term illness, so I’ve only just had the time to catch up to the latest episode.

      Although my new RG Zephyranthes and Full Burnen probably didn’t help either.

      In regards to whether I’ll go for the MG or HG/RG versions of the Wing kits, I’ve decided instead to get none of them! Since I am a big fan of the Gundam series overall, there is always something else I want to build, and I have been eyeing some of the Unicorn series kits so an RG Sinanju may be in my future.

      But Syd your suggestion to try out one of the MG kits is a great idea, so if I do feel the need and can’t think of something else to build, I’ll grab a Deathsythe Hell and see how it goes. But Todd you did manage to convince me to backorder 2 of the old Epyon kits, so maybe in the future I’ll try out your idea, so in a roundabout way I’ll be doing your roundabout suggestion I guess?

      But now for something completely different, while we may know of the Gunpla Tv crews love of Gundam kits like the Sinanju, Balls, Unicorn, Balls, Gyan, Balls! We don’t know much about your favourite none Gundam kits, so if any of you have a favourite I for one would love to see it, bonus points if it requires paint and glue!

      • Those 1/144 HG Gundam Wing kits were my first introduction to the hobby and well I wouldn’t recommend getting them unless you do what Syd and Todd said to modify the parts and put them on a frame.

        I managed to find some of my older kits from 15+ years ago and They are terrible as far as detail, articulation and proportions. I will eventually buy the MG EW models even if they are different from the suits in the anime version. The amount of detail, color separation and articulation from the newer MG kids is amazing.

        • Yeah the MGs are looking to be the better option, though there are some kits that you can only get in 1/144 scale, like the Tallgeese III special in HG, along with the Vayate and Mecurius which are sadly no-grade like the Epyon.

          But considering that the kits tend to sell out quickly from what Syd said, you would think that bandai would be seeing money in dem der hills and do some updates, especially with the unique look of the grunt suits like the Leo, as they are very different to anything from other series so it might get people spending for something different.

          But of course it would be a big undertaking for bandai, as they would have to do a lot of new work compared to other lines, as each hero suit has at least 3 different versions which makes 15 unique kits, and it would make sense to update the stuff that’s only in no-grade, so we have some better quality kits, so I do doubt that they will rush into something like that.

          But I’ll still get my no-grade Epyon, as I’ve lost my kit from what was probably 15 years ago, so it would be nice to have something to mark my start in gunpla.

    • Never knew Harambe was into Gunpla. I wonder if the Vidar Gundam have those Reginlaze hands. A rapier with that kind of hand will be incredible, just like the revive Gyan.

    • Helpful tip for First-Time MG Builders: The newer MG articulated hands have joints in the fingers just below the first knuckle. In order to bend them so your gunpla can grip things properly, you can hold eac finger down to the hand and carefully push on the joint. This should prevent the finger from popping out of the hand by the balljoint — ‘should,’ but it’s not 100% guaranteed. Just be careful.

      No one really talks about this that I could see, so I thought it’d be a good tip to share.

    • Dibs dibs dibs ahahhah

    • great

    • For the comical reasons, I’ll be getting the Rebake fully city and that Bonsai plant.

    • Who else is excited for the GM ground type?!

    • Why RN-Geesus…? Why I no win? 🙁

    • That new chopper robo looks nice and priced nice. still contemplating on getting it. Nice episode guys.

      and dibs in the Cybuster. lol

    • Get in tha chappa

    • this episode no. triple ‘2’

    • Great episode guys. Looking forward to see those new December releases.

    • Holy cow! Dibs worked for once in my life?!!?!?! Woot woot!!!

      Thank you Syd, Todd, Ryan, and Gunpla TV!

      Keep up the awesome show, I am looking forward to seeing the MG Psycho Zaku next month!

    • Harambe guide me lol

    • I want to winn lol

    • I think i remember Syd making the Cybaster on Gunpla TV in a much earlier episode. Anyways great show and, love the pics of Full CIty trimming the tree.

      RNG grant me powaaah.

    • I will be receiving my Gusion Rebake Full City and an squadron of Reginlaze from HLJ today! Syd, I had a similiar idea with the Rebake and the Bonsai tree lol. When the 1/100 scale Full City comes out, have the 1/144 cut out the 1/100’s runner. Enter that in the Gunpla world cup and win! With the addtion of the Reginlazes, chunk of my Gunpla collection is mostly the Graze and its variants. Lastly I can’t wait until we see the IBO Large Mobile armor at the Gunpla expo! As always, keep up the awesome work you guys!

    • That Bonsai kit!

    • just let me win a kit ples….

    • I don’t understand the “Gmmm’s horror story pictures”! Probably I miss something of the video. I just see a model kits with a terrible work on nubs. But they all can be fixed easily.

      May I suggest a subject for the next video? Can you explain me the “logic” behind Premium Bandai kits? Some of them are just repaint. I don’t care if I cannot buy it. But some are unique kits! And I’m sad that they are only for Japan! How Bandai decide if a kit will be normal or Premium? It’s random?

    • That Graze has a pretty nice Philadelphia Eagles color scheme, I want it now.

      PS. FlyEaglesFly!

    • I’ll pray to the only God mankind has; The God known as ‘possibility’.

    • Not only were those nubs thick, the panel lines were also too thick for my taste…

    • I saw that 7-11 in Japan is coming out with some new exclusive kits. I also know you guys don’t generally cover those type of exclusives but would be cool to see anything that anyone might pick up…..heard about a PG Green Frame Astray!

    • I wanted to ask if there has been any additional info about the competition mentioned in episode 200? I have looked for groups or videos but have not found anything and I am still working my way forward through the last 15 episodes I have not seen so I may find my answer there. Apologies if I missed something obvious.

      Cheers and thank you for all the great shows!

      • Ohhhh…TWINS…ep 202 & 204… THAT’S where Ryan has been. Now I understand.

        Well, happy six months (as of today, Nov 8th) to your wonderful twins Ryan. Congratulations to you and your wife and growing family!!!

        It was exciting to see his announcement in 202 and hear Syd’s congratulations in 204.

        Carry on.

    • I want that Cybaster! loved the anime many years ago!!!

    • GUNDAMMMMMMM

    • If only the Frame Arm Kits are cheaper. They look so awesome and so customization since its universal pegs and holes. They don’t have stickers so that maybe why… but their made in china, compared to gunpla being manufactured in japan…
      I want but I rather buy MG for the price…

    • Oh wow a super robot war kit!!! Those are hard to come by!

    • Great episode guys!

    • That Bonsai thing is CRAAAAZY!!! I like that framearm kit.

    • I’m really liking the Iron Blooded Orphans designs. The kits are also so fun to build. I can’t wait to build a Reginlaze.

    • Great show guys looks great

    • Imagine if you had to put every single leaf on a bonsai plamo during assembly.

    • (Sorry I didn’t reply earlier but you can feel free to share the horrific pictures with everyone. At some point I wondered if I should turn on the mature filter on the album since the pictures are very graphic but I decided not to.)

      Gundam Horror Story 3: Return of the Nubmarks

      I am very new to the hobby. When I say that I mean that I erased the past and to me, it never happened.

      I started last month with the RX-78-2 Ver 3.0 and I will be eventually buying the newer version of the older sets to fix my past mistakes. In the future I will post the results.

      For now I leave you with some pictures of my 1/100 Altron, 1/144 Tallgeese and 1/144 Epyon.

      Making Gunpla great again

    • Bonsai-trimming diorama…Splice of Life theme?

    • Hmm for the horror story it wasn’t as bad I expected, at least it still can be cut and sanded. I thought pulling the parts from the runner would eat away on the plastic. The 1st kits I build when I was a kid are 4wd tamiya and I didn’t use any nippers then.

      The design of the Cybuster/Cybaster reminds me of the royal knights in Digimon series.

    • Thank u guys for the great episode 🙂

    • Cybaster Kit! Great episode!

    • That Cybuster would look good next to my Spirit Possession version!

    • Haiii guys, glad to see u again this week. Bonsai diorama its cute, with Rebake Full City kinda …….. Okay. Fun episode guys. Can’t wait for the next. Hello from Indonesia…. cheers. Hope this time i can win Cybuster…..

    • pick me, pick me, pick me, projecting my psychic will the random number generator.;)

    • Huge fan of the Super Robot Wars kits. I would LVE to get my hands on that Cybuster.

    • Looking forward to seeing the Chopper and very excited about the upcoming gunpla expo.

    • great show might have to give those frame arms a try

    • Kotobukiya!!!!

    • Cybaster!!!

    • Mega Man!!!

    • Ready to get my first Kotobukiya kit!

    • THOSE FRAME ARMS LOOK COOL

    • HARAMBE HEAR MY CALL!

    • Great episode.

    • Never had a Kotobukiya kit before, would love to see how they stack up!

    • CYBASTER!!!!!!

    • I love how this show is 50% informational and 50% grown men playing with robots. lol Love you guys.

    • I like the design of the new frame-arms. I almost looks like the Gustav Karl from the Gundam Unicorn/Hathaway’s Flash.

    • Haven’t tried a Kotobukiya Kit before but I would love to get that Cybaster

    • Long time fan… i pray to the gods of the random number generator and to the spirit of harambe the saviour and the gods of gunpla.. please let me win

    • That bonsai plamo! Weirdest model since infamous Zentradi Stamp from 1983 😀 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6rtMkz_mlM )

    • That Reginlaze looks even better than the promo pics!

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 6 months ago

    It feels like October has been a slow month for Bandai plamo but we do have some things to share including the newest IBO season 2 kit! As well, we give a public service announcement which people building the HG […]

    • I can only dream of winning free stuff 🙁

    • What an absurd name.

    • hmmmmm

    • Bandai definitely needs more MG kits with the new mobile suits that keep on coming

      • I just wish they would re-release new updated versions of the old ones. I’m also getting tired of the Unicorn blue/red/green/orange/rainbow/yellow/polkadot modes.

    • Eyy new episode! I’ve been waiting for the Reginlaze and i’ve already bought my own waiting to be built. I find it to be a superior-looking kit to the Graze and Julieta is one of my favorite Gjallarhorn characters, literally a female version of Mika and I bloody love the girl. Also helps that I find her attractive. >v>

      The Siegfrieds are still cool although i’d like to see more unique mechs from the series. We’ve seen two real mechs so far, the Draken III and the Siegfried, i’d like to see more soon! The Saiyan Space pod, while accurate is way to bland for my taste. Sure, it fits a figure-rise Vegeta in it, but the ship itself is two colors and looks kinda boring. 🙁

      Frame arms always interested me but the thing is that they’re very expensive for what they are, and that kinda prevents me from getting them. Kinda a shame, I really like the concept and their designs are beast. Oh well, one day.

      The Full City was disappointing to say the least. Way to many sitckers that could’ve easily been parts, which ruin the kit as a whole. I wouldn’t of minded paying more if it meant we had actual part separation, would’ve made the kit a lot better. It seems like each Rebake kit has some detrimental flaw that makes the kit a definite pass, which is a real shame because I really want a Rebake kit. Oh well, all we can do is hope for an eventual MG…

      The Option Set 5 is something welcome. People who are fine with everything they have from the Lupus alone will be satisfied, but for people who want more accessories, we can pay a tiny bit more for an extra set. Great idea IMO and gives us more options when it comes to purchasing IBO kits.

    • Wow thunderbolt kits… Please let me win the zaku big guns…please

    • THAT GUN THOUGH! great show guys keep it going

    • I love Thunderbolt. I hope I can win either of the two kits.

    • Thank you for telling us about the part number errors on the Gusion rebake full city manual. I have one coming my way from the private warehouse lol. I am relieved by the fact that the option set 5 has a gun for the full city.

      PS: Whoever named it the Gusion rebake full city, they must have been like that PPAP guy. – > I have gusion rebake, I have full city -> Ugh! -> Gusion rebake full city! damn!

    • HELLO….!!! IM TRAP IN GUNPLA WORLD…. Help me out by giving me those free stuff…!!!

    • I hate Gusion’s head, with that many stickers.

    • been wanting to get that thunderbolt big gun kit but space is limited. i promise to clear up a good spot for it if i win! xD

    • I want this pod… no… I NEED this pod.

    • I would buy that scissor kit JUST for the Lupus hands.

    • great

    • I don’t know why, but i really like the Gusion’s scissors.

    • I already have a rifle for shooting, can I have that big gun for fun? 😀

    • wow i wonder how big that big zaku cannon would be in mg form.

    • Here I am trying to win something! Expecially from the Thunderbolt series!

    • i have a bloody tonne of old runners. any chance HLJ can do a competition for the best ideas to use the throw away bits of the kits…….and those thunderbolt kits would be nice?

    • I would like to have that IBO poster at Syd’s left shoulder

    • Oh my I always want the big gun.

    • Is “The Todd” losing weight or it’s just my imagination?

    • those Thunderbolt kits always scare me, so many parts, I drop nought parts as is.
      what do you guys think of Crossbone Gundam winning that poll? I’m hyped at the prospect of new pirate kits.

    • Here’s hoping they make a FM1/100 Gusion Rebake Full City with a few less stickers and a few more cannons!!! Also, dibs on Thunderbolt kits!!! Dibs works right?

    • Good luck to whom win have gundam day

    • just wish I win this time

    • …this is an awesome blog. Sorry, I”m new here. Looking forward to checking out your future posts 😊

    • thunderbolt series…woohooo

    • thunderbolt

    • Balls jokes on Todd never get old

    • Thanks

    • Just Saiyan, that’s one Bug Gun.

    • All i want for Christmas is that zaku big gun

    • Hearing about Christmas, I just realized that Todd should have used his Ball guy as Halloween decoration. And maybe I can use that big gun on a pumpkin for a Halloween Pumpkin Ball.

    • great episode guys!! and do we get to see not just Todd’s balls but Syd’s Balls?! lol

    • Any news about the HG Revive Strike Freedom?

    • i love the look of the tunderbolt kits
      i have a full armor gundam and love to aim the biggun @him haha

    • Thunderbolt season 2

    • Can’t wait to see those Frame Arms built!

    • pew pew

      By the way Lupus means wolf in latin

    • Come on RNGesus, let me win

    • I love making more room for those kits and I’m loving season 2 of IBO. I really like to travel to Japan if I win at the GBWC 2016 finals. I never had Thunderbolt kits in my collection, while it’s another epic series.

    • syd the reason everybody yells at you about the nub marks is because you put yourself out on the web where everybody is anonymous so they feel no sympathy that you aren’t the worlds best builder

    • Man, I enjoy the anime but i’m not a fan of the mobile suit designs of IBO, i’ll keep building anything else but these guys. Just my opinion.
      Good episode as always, cant wait for december!!!

    • Fumina, best December release kit haha!

    • GunplaTV is a lot like Disneyland, They make dreams come true.

    • I would rather get an RG Barbatos than a Star Build Strike. ;/

    • Gunpla!!!

    • Gusion’s nippers make sense – in this show there’re no beam weapons, they use ballistic riffles and cannons and, mostly, blunt weapons. Barbatos uses maces to crush cockpits. But the 6th form wrench could also work like nippers with chainsaws, he even cut arms with it. Those gigantic nippers are meant to crush enemy mobile suits’ cockpits from both sides.
      GM Thunderbolt ver. is one of my most favourite GM designs, along with GM Sniper II and GM Striker. All Thunderbolt designs are really fantastic. Shame that we didn’t get more kits.

    • I agree with Todd, we need an HG Atlas Gundam!!

    • Looking forward to the frame arms stuff again.

      I’d love to see the big ball come to fruition. Mega ball?

      I think gusions mega sized pliers is an interesting take of the classic “claw” weapon. However, I feel it’s kinda abit too chunky and not nimble enough. You know like cause it’s so massive it looks like it’s slower?

    • Thank you for the “Heads’ up” on the Rebake full city 🙂

    • This year Christmas is on weekend, so you will feel like rest of the world who don’t have extra holidays because of that.

    • “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

      -Ad libbed by Roddy “The Rod” Piper (played Nada) in “They Live”

    • I will never win. Tho that macross looks good.

    • I think the Option Set 5 might be usable even without Barbatos Lupis. Has anyone tried mounting the 200mm canons onto anything else? I’m also thinking of making the Shia Qan[t] a bit cattier with a tail and claws.

    • Can’t wait to see the new releases at the gunpla expo. I have started counting down the days ^_^

    • i love the thunderbolt kits! the designs look so good. Some how, the Gusion Rebake full city version reminds me of nippers! LOL.

    • I want it

    • Hey! since you guys are going back to look at frame arms again after a long while, why not go back and look at the muv luv kits as well since it has been a really long while since you last covered them. Plus recently I’ve been looking into them so some help differentiating the non scale and 1/144 kits would be nice!

    • Would like Zaku II + Big Gun MG size.

    • Now all you need is a huge tree next to the Gusion with scissor for a cool diorama. Edward Scissorhands Style.

    • Big Gun! Big Gun Number One. Big Gun!Big Gun Kick the hell out of you!

    • i also want that gundam ace gun

    • At an arcade near my house they had gunpla as prizes you could win I got enough tickets to get the zaku II + big gun and felt like I won the lottery, after I thought about it on the way home I probably could have bought it for less then what I spent in the arcade but I was my first time in an arcade since I was ten and now I keep it as a fun memory of playing video games with my friends.

    • DAAAAAYMN I am scared if Someone win that gonna be arrested by the cops for having BIG LASOR GUNS XD

    • I await Todd’s massive sayian ball.

    • I need that gun,BTW great episode guys.

    • damn i would like one of those kits

      ……….help me harambe

    • Man, you guys talking about using glue on an RG kit gave me horrible RG Zeta flashbacks. Thank god I got a chance to redo the entire kit last Christmas and that turned out fine.

      Also, I agree with most sentiments regarding Thunderbolt.

      WHERE IS OUR HG ATLAS BANDAI!?

    • BIG GUN ZAKUUU! Hope I get that! Good job guys!

    • I love Thunderbolt and hope I can win either of the two kits.

    • cool ep guys

    • Funny story: I replaced my son’s Amazon Fire tablet and all amazon apps / devices come with 1-click buying option enabled for some reason (money)… as he is three-&-a-half and quite taken with my growing gunpla collection sitting behind glass, he likes to look at them wherever he finds them (in person, pictures, box art, etc). I so happened to have the Hyaku Shiki 2.0 sitting in my Amazon Cart as I debated daily (hourly, second-to-second) about buying it. I was quite surprised when we came home to an unexpected Amazon package at the door. My son and daughter argued over who the package was for and we all opened it together… I opened it only to find a Hyaku Shiki 2.0 staring back at us to which my son exclaims “IT’S THE ROBOT!!!!!”.

      Evidently he had found his way to the store app on his new Fire Tablet and 1-clicked the Shiki sitting in the cart and I have now DISABLED 1-click as I should have as soon as I set up the tablet. I debated for about 30 seconds if I needed to send it back… and now it is sitting proudly in my case.

      That will teach me to neglect children’s device settings and my email. Bad dad! Lovely golden gunpla!

      P.S. not an HG fan but must admit that Big Gun Zaku looks nice and could go well as the bad guy for my growing collection of RG suits. How you doing Random number generator?

      • That’s a frightening episode. Clearly the mistake made here was having amazon and not hlj.com open on your son’s tablet. 😉

        • I must admit to using Amazon a lot to begin but I have now placed and shipped my first few orders using Private Warehouse. I love it!!

          Lesson learned! 🙂

          Now I just need to ship out my last order of hanger bases.

          Cheers

    • Horror Story (the aftermath)

      Since Syd wanted to know about how the end product looked like. Yeah…Not great. Nub marks is an understatement, I call these Runner marks. I can probably shave off enough extra material off this 1/100 to make a 1/144.

      Here is a 4 picture imgur album with the result.

      Gundam Horror Story

    • Booty Gundam for me 😀

    • All hail the big gun!!
      All hail the numerous shields!!
      All hail the ramdom number generator!!!

    • I want that big gun for a kit bash!!!
      Good show, but it’s geting a little predictable, it will be great next week that you will change from the same old, same old HG build, don’t get me wrong, I love gundam, I just find HG’s simple and boring, I also think that a little section about non-gundam kits would add allot of spice to the show, it would be awesome!!!
      I miss Ryan, Lindsey and Anna.
      cheers and keep up the great work, HLJ rocks!!!
      and yes, random number generator hates me…
      Go to hell random number generator!!!!

    • stop giving away kits that are allready built! it takes away from the fun.
      ( i still want them though)

    • Hey Guyssss, thanks for the show for all theses years, really appreciate it. Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really Really hope i can win the kit. Cheers from Indonesia…….

    • Getting my HG Gusion Rebake full city this weekend….together with the HG Hugo. Looking forward to the weekend build.
      Keep the episodes coming, guys.

    • Great episode guys! Finally it’s November! A lot of new kits are coming out. One more month to go! And December release will be even more greater! I fear that my 13th month bonus wouldn’t last for ao long.. would really like to add the zaku and big gun in my collection.

    • thank u guys for great episode 🙂

    • Looking forward to your review of the MG High Mobility Type Psycho Zaku Ver.Ka in December!

    • Thank you for making all the videos!

    • That Macross kit looks fantastic!!! Syd and Todd, keep up the good work.

    • The Gusion Rebake Full Sticky gives me heart problems whenever I open the box.

    • The Gusion Rebake Full City is a nice kit, though I wish it brought more weapons/accessories.

    • Its just me or the new gussion looks like a Gardener Gundam?

    • That full city really is something. Like wielding a massive side cutters for weapons.

    • Hey Guys! I hop I finally win something, even if its already build.

    • I want your posters. All of them.

    • I love this show, thanks for another great episode.

    • I think the Gusion’s next weapon is going to be a giant hobby knife!

    • Gundamu Gundamu

    • Great episode guys! I am waiting until IBO line finishes so I can pick my favorite. Those Thunderbolt ms look awesome!

    • Hi syd and tod.. i love ur show. Was always watching ur show before buying kits from hlj.. ur show helps us a lot.. we miss ryan.. we dont see him anymore.. keep up the good work ..gunpla/gundam will live forever

    • Great show guys. Thunderbolt giveaway?! Yes, please. I loved the Zaku I.

    • great show as always, Please count me in

    • i wonder how they’re going to use that weapon 🙂 ?

    • OMG! Thunderbolt kits!

    • Keep the Zaku, I just want the big gun parts.

    • I would definitely love to get one of those Thunderbolt kits. Come on Random Number Generator!

    • Great episode guys, havent watched in a while but i am back! Love the Macross kits and shall be receiving 1 or 2 for christmas the hype is real. If you really want all three froms set out though you can buy the non transformable version that is much cheaper there one ofr each form. see ya nect time.

    • Another great episode.

    • First hammer with original gusion,then the wrench with barbatos, now it’s scissor on rebake. What’s next saw? oh-oh the wrench already have it. Hmmm… Screw driver?

    • Pewpew!

    • Good review on the Gusion and the ms option set. Also the Thunderbolt GM is looking good.

    • For Christmas…please?

    • Thumbs up for the Yugo! OK the Gusion is pretty awesome too.

    • Great Episode! I would love to get the GM because a friend is doing a tabletop game with HG Gundam Models. I need to army some GMs for the game.

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 6 months ago

    October is usually a slow month for Gunpla releases as Bandai lulls a bit before blitzing us at year’s end. But don’t worry, we still have plenty of stuff to talk about including a new Titanium MG kit! Bandai […]

    • First!!!!!!!

    • I think it would be neat to see you guys do a vlog-like video of how one day of working at HLJ is like.

    • Hope I win Bumblebee

    • bumblebee……….!!!!!!!!

    • i want that bumblebee!

      Hi Syd and Todd 🙂

    • To be honest, seeing a transformer that can’t be transformed is really weird for me
      But hey, if you give it for free for me, I’ll not complaining

      And also
      G1 transformers are superior than michael bay’s transformers

    • well damn bumblebee that would go well with my optimusprime

    • Looks like a good gimmick of Hugo maybe considering buying it into my collection of IBO gunpla. Setsuna bust looks badass but still waiting for Fumina bust haha

    • First TFS NICE!!! I wann it

    • After hearing about how to choose what gundam to paint what not to paint I would definitely want to do a custom Barbados lupus or full armor thunder bolt gundam!

    • It never occurred to me that there would be Transformers model kits, and please don’t remind me about Christmas I’m just a poor gunpla builder.

    • no god hand nippers? buy the gusion rebake full city…

    • IBO Season 2 MS are so cool!

    • I’ve been wanting to get that kit for a long long time…

    • *buzz buzz* I win? *buzz buzz*

    • Great show, guys!
      keep up the good work!

    • Woah, wanted this bumblebee since the last time you showed it! I hope It’ll restock sometime

    • It’s not gunpla but would love to win that Bumble Bee ^_^

    • That bumblebee is from the dmk series right?
      That is awesome, the proportion is better than a transforming one,
      But its really hard to find one
      Plus, its a bit pricy for me..
      Hope i can win it

    • I hate the design of Transformers in movies!
      If I win that bumblebee I know I will modify it to make it more “cartoonish”. Not a complete redesign (who has time for a work like that) just removing, adding, reshaping parts to make it more “cartoon”.
      The way it should be since the beginning in my opinion.

    • Looking forward tot he rest of the Chopper kits to be released, i just want to build the big ass Chopper.

    • SWEET LORD !!!!
      well I dont really have top 5 moments . but I have one favourite moment and that when syd was playing with his gunplas in the box and the saber fight was good too ….. that whole Episode was amazing

    • You go guys!

      You could totally make a mixed psychoframe Unicorn if you wanted to with that kit, but due to the pricing, the “meh-ness” of the MG Unicorn, and the fact that there are no ungergates…yeah i’d rather buy me a PG.

      I was really hoping the Full City fixed the problems that the original Gusion had, with it’s bad color separation, missing color apps and extreme reliance on stickers. While it does have better color separation, it’s done completely through stickers, so I think this will be a pass for me sadly. Oh well, lets hope a Full Mechanics of this will come to existence.

      At first I wasn’t really sold on the Hugo, but over time, the uniqueness of the design slowly slowly started to grow on me, probably beginning with that unique eye design. While the kit itself isn’t amazingly impressive, it seems to be one of those MS that focuses on it’s main function over anything else, that being raiding ships in space, so having claw feet for tearing apart hulls like a bird is a really attractive quality IMO, probably going to get this in the long run and put it on an action base, swooping in with feet deployed.

    • The amount of stickers on the Full City does not impress me. I suppose it helps Bandai keep the kit cheaper, though, which it probably needs with the size and mass of the Variable Scissor Armour.

      It was cool seeing the new MS’s in action, including the Hugo. And now they’ve unearthed two new suits, I’m looking forward to the reveal.

      I’d like you to know I’ve started building the MG Gundam the Origin I got through the SUPER SUMMER SALE!!! The different scale that allows for all the gimmicks certainly gives a different experience from the HGs and RGs I’m used to building. So far I’m enjoying it.

      I don’t paint all my gunpla, but when I do I do custom paint jobs.
      No, I honestly also do some touch-ups. The only one for which this isn’t true is the RG Trans-Am Raiser, because anything I did would only ruin the gloss paint job.

      BEE!

    • Christmas is coming, but until it’s here i can’t wait for the black Friday sales that you have in store for us, and after that the winter holidays sale 😀

    • Christmas is here! May you always build gunplaTv!

    • great

    • Another great episode, Syd and Todd. Also, I was really surprised to hear my own comment in your episode! Thanks for the shout out and I will send you guys pics of the cake and the toppers when it’s all set up.
      P.S.: my better half actually suggested we use them when I showed her which petit bears were released lol

    • Love the new kit form ibo but hate those stickers on the new gusion. Also why bandai make one kit with two spyco frame i think its just plastic waist. However would love that bumblebee

    • oooh bumblebee

    • bumblebee bumblebee bumblebee!!!!! i tried to get it twice but it was impossible fingers cross!!, good show as allways ppl

    • Beeeeeeeeeeeeeee…………………….

    • Thank you guys for the answer about customizing kits. I have another question. Actually I prefer playing with my kits rather than just displaying them. But then I cannot resist the look of my RG Exia, whose armors keep popping off and not so suitable to play. Do you think gluing the armor pieces onto the frame would make a good replacement for a toy figurine? I really love kits as they are cheaper and the RG line looks marvelous.

    • Just built an MG Freedom 2.0, which I got from HLJ, and painted it up, Customizing a kit has always come from inspiration for me. If I dont have inspiration I dont paint.

    • Bumblebee would make an awesome early Christmas gift!!!

    • Those balls jokes never get old…

    • Bumblebee would be awesome

    • Love the new kit from IBO and great episode.

    • win!

    • I will win !!

    • Bumblebee!
      Thanks for the episode, great as usual

    • Hi Syd and Todd, great episode! As a one piece fan, I am so getting the Chopper Kit!

    • now that hugo was quite interesting, did todd bust out he’s PUN’S when he said “there HUGO” in that hugo review.. ? HHHHMMMM…..another great episode guys, looking forward to that mg titanium finish unicorn hope i get it as a gift for myself this coming christmas, keep up the good work sensei steve and todd

    • Not long until Pokémon is out :3 The Nintendo Switch looks pretty cool, too

    • sweet ep guys

    • Unfortunately, future Setsuan is all silver and glowy according to the movie. T.T

    • This time it is less talking, more winning. (o0)/

    • Now this would be a challenge to fix up a Takara Bumblebee into a car. Give it a nice paint job while I wasn’t a fan of the live-action series. I’ll this piece of plastic a chance.

    • Bzzzzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzzz!

    • Want to hear a horror story (spooky Halloween)?

      Back when I discovered Gundam model kits I was about 13 (about 15 years ago) and it was the Gundam Wing HGs. I didn’t know much about the hobby so it never occurred to me that you would have to use cutters and then sand/trim the excess. I would just bend and pull the parts off the runners.

      Just wondering, is there any information about new versions of old kits, like the Alex or the Physalis?

    • great show guys

    • Hello guys from Greece.
      My New favorite moment from now on will be the “Boldy Setsuna”:)
      I’ve been watching you a couple of years now and i hope that I’ll win a Kit
      because here are too expensive to buy and I want to start building.
      I also hope that one day Gunpla will be popular here too.
      Continue the good work and I wish one day to meet you up close.

    • most interesting thing in this ep is giveaway prize.

    • Bumblebee!

    • Interesting giveaway prize. My kid would be crazy about it.

    • I want the Bumblebee. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can I have it?

    • GIVE ME THE BUMBLEBEE!!!

      I am a die hard transformers fan and even took the time to watch the original transformers G1. The kit looks great

    • YUGOOOOOOO XD

    • hmm, interesting transformers kit

    • I don’t have any Transformers!

    • Me no win anything

    • A mobile suit to surpass metal gear

    • I wonder what will come into existence first: Metal Gears, or Mobile Suits/Armours?

    • RNG Gods please grant me favor, also great episode guys

    • Bandai needs to stop milking the Unicorn Gundam and its 48 color variants and variations and give us the kit that we need and deserve. MG Char Zaku II ver. 3.0!

    • I so so soooo desire the Titanium Nu Gundam. I think I may have watched the episodes that featured it a few too many times. Don’t you scratch that beautiful runner Syd!!

      As an owner of 2 MG Unicorns I shudder at the thought of trying to care for a Titanium version of that polystyrene grenade.

      Anyway – I am only up to Ep 164… and like knowing that a major character dies on a show I love but not WHEN it happens… I am wondering when Ryan gets off’d & replaced. It’s like back when I cared about The Walking Dead but FOR REALS.

      Cheerio plastic masters.

    • That Bumble Bee sure looks great.

    • Great show guys, I discovered your show a few weeks ago and have been watching them from episode 1 and have now reached episode 70 – good to see your nail is no longer black Syd!

    • Bumblebee would look great sent down under for our coming summer. The bright yellow would match the sunshine on the steps of the Opera house

    • fortunately for the real setsuna,he doesnt change appearance anymore because of his bond with the els

    • That hugo looks like a mobile suit from Reconguista. By the way great episode as always, looking forward to the review of the rebake full city.

      I hope I could win that bumblebee for my birthday. ^_^

    • Poor setsuna, losing his hair…

    • BUMBLEBEE!!!!And my comments was read!!!!

    • Ore wa GUNDAM DA!!

    • What a funky suit.

    • Bumblebee, transform and roll out!

    • me win bumblebee… 😀

    • I’ll take that bumblebee off your hands.

    • Hope you’ll review the One Piece Chopper Robos ,including the merge Giant Mecha Chopper.

      Another Rebake, based on the stickers, its face was entirely stickers this what i don’t like on previous Rebake but what i like with the Rebake was it’s Gimmick and now on Full City is it’s Weapon (Shield/Scissor).

      And oh, Bumblebee! You Go (YUGO/HUGO) with me.

    • Do you guys watched Transformer when younger?

    • Transform and roll out!

    • hello from the Philippines! question : do all 7-11 stores in Japan sell 7-11 1/144 gundam kits or are they only available on specific places, perhaps in Akihabara? are they sold like regular items or only in special occasions? is it possible that HLJ will include them in their online catalogue?

      thanks,
      Wil

    • Bald Setsuna, that was too funny! I like the Yugo just because it’s so different. A suit starts looking like a suit after awhile, and this was a great change of pace. Me Likey.

    • completely understand bringing the yugo badge with you when you move, i kept the cam (my name) part of the badge from a camira i owned and wrecked as a teen through multiple moves

    • I never win anything, random number generator hates me.

    • I am looking forward to the next Transformers movie in 2017!

    • Hopefully, I will win that Bumblebee.

    • THAT BUST IS GUNDAM.

    • Can’t wait to build the Metal Gear HUGO!

    • Too bad Ryan is not there to rant about Michael Bay’s Transformers again.

    • let me win once. hehe.

      please show if you have some old gundam kit. 🙂

    • Hey Sid.

      So I must say that I actually started watching Gunpla TV since the beginning at around the start of October this year. I am on Episode 59 but I decided to watch the most current episode for this very reason. Giveaways. I love the show and I guess I will find out what happened to Ryan and welcome Todd . Anyways I do remember you building the bumblebee since I saw that around a week or two ago…Cool kit and hopefully I can get my hands on this. 🙂 I will continue to watch the episodes and hopefully get through them all. Its a bit tough to find the special episodes that are not numbered sometimes.

      Anyways sorry for the long message but keep up the great work.

    • up

    • I want that bumblebee too!!

    • that is some excellent camera work you have this episode.

    • Hugo is kind of strange but refreshing considering how most the other IBO kits look essentially the same

    • Awesome episode! Thanks, guys!

    • Love Hugo.

    • Great episode.I want the bumble bee to go with the mg Tallgeese ew I just ordered.

    • Great episode guys! Replying to the viewer’s comment, Gunpla to be is like building with LEGO and art combine together. Before I pick up any kit, I try to imagine what mods I might make on it or how to make it better. Gunpla is Freedom!

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 6 months ago

    We’ve got the High Grade Barbatos Lupus built and ready to be reviewed as well as the two newest, music-making Petitguys. We also talk about the just announced December Gunpla releases!

    Kits featured in this […]

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 7 months ago

    We are back in the studio after attending the All Japan Hobby and Model show and so we begin Episode 218 talking about what we saw there and what got us excited. From there we move on to show everyone the latest […]

    • Scramble gundam has one of the worst MA Modes ever

    • I would get that qant if the green matched the blades a bit more.
      also first!

    • Definitely looking forward to getting the shia Qan[T] looks like a solid kit and love those nekko-sama ears. Sooo awesome👍

      • I’ve built it, it’s really good, and the fact that it reuses parts from both the HG Qan[T] and HG Transient is pretty impressive. Certainly a worthy buy, be careful with the “claws” though, there is a part in there that can break when toyed with.

    • OOOOOOOOOOOO i want all the releases!! Every moment is a good moment on Gunpla TV so keep up the good work!!

    • one of top moment in gunplatv is when Syd broke the kit from anime nobunaga the fool, and he can’t quite finish the armor for it. hehe

    • I’m still on the fence about getting the Shia Quan[T] and the Scramble, I should flesh out the number of 00 kits in my collection first

    • Seems bad but i really dont like those kits…personal taste but i cant really figure out, scramble first look sooo better with the funnels parts and not those wings..bandai What! XD

    • Hoo! A new episode of Gunpla TV is finally here! Time to stop building my Gundam Astraea and start watching this!

      I would’ve been more excited for the GM Sniper II if I didn’t already buy the Robot Damashii, oh well, i’ll just continue hoping for a GM Revive. The Lunagazer is something i’m gonna LOVE on the other hand. I love the Hyaku Shiki, and I love the Stargazer, so this is right up my alley, please make a Stargazer Revive Bandai, we need one. Bandai just seems to be wanting to expand their audiences recently, I don’t get this either, Gunpla is very successful, and the audience is already supportive and interested in all new releases, so why appeal to other audiences if they won’t necessarily be interested? I’d get it if they released one or two kits and they sold like free candy, but they made entire lineups and it’s taking away from our Gunpla releases, please Bandai get to work on the new MG’s! 4 releases a month is not going to satisfy!

      The new Petit’gguys are amusing. I like how they have new instruments and accessories as well as a color difference, people are going to eat that up. The HG Barbatos Lupus definitely has better OOB presentation than the previous HG Barbatos, but i’m still going to wait for the 1/100 for perfect color separation and that sweet, sweet panel detail. Pretty sure the Frame 4 was used on the Astaroth Origin IIRC, can’t remember 100% though.

      Unlike a lot of people, I actually really like the Scramble Gundam. The alt mode is lazy, I agree there, but then again IMO, Gundam are made for function over flair, and while that may not apply for build fighters, it still works and that’s kinda what matters in the end, although it’s kinda obvious that this was just an extra cash grab. Nothing really special about the kit besides the design. I’d only really pick it up if you really like the design (which I do). The Shia Qan[T] is my favorite MS from Island Wars, Shia is a great character and I loved the Portent (my second kit). So I had to jump on the Shia, and it’s great. It’s definitely a buy for anyone who is interested, I especially love how Bandai implemented the parts of both the Transient and the Qan[T] into one single MS, now that’s what I call impressive. I never got into the Beargguy, and especially not the Beargguy P, probably going to pass on this one. If I ever get one, i’m getting the Beargguy F for the Petit’gguy. XP

    • Where is Ryan, didn’t see him these couple episodes, Btw, when i was browsing for pla plate tutorial, i accidentlly came through your old gunpla tv episode, eps 68 if I’m not mistaken, and….. seeing You guys doing gunpla tv pose, that was hilarious, I Dare You to do that again.

    • That Scramble Gundam looks sweet in Mobile Suit mode… Let’s just not talk about MA mode. Opinions on the OVA episode aside, it’s a pretty rad mixture of the Zeta and Destiny Heine, if I had to pick. Awesome episode as always guys, gotta tune in every week!

    • Please review the figure-rise dragon ball kits even though it’s not gunpla.

    • Thanks for the inspiration guys; I finished my own take on a petit guy in black tri star colors. GUNPLA is freedom!

    • Wow RE DiJeh… I want plzzzzzzz

    • Awesome episode! The Scramble Gundam looks pretty cool, just not that gawd awful flight mode and not to mention is kinda bare bones compared to the other HGBFs :/

    • man i would love to win that dejeh 🙂 anyways good show as always ryan,syd and todd 🙂

    • i would like to win 😀

    • The new master grade Gm sniper II is cool plus I would like to get some of the new RE kits

    • I like the Deejay! I hope I win it. Pump up the volume DeeJay!

    • Yeah! Condorman! A hero of my childhood. I will nerver ever forget them driving in this kind of guipsytruck and as the bad guys in their black Porsche appear, he pushes a button, the seats slide down, they find themselfs in a futuristic cockpit and the next you see is the condorcar driving out of the front of the truck. Not as crappy as the old badman, but a must see if you like this kind of stuff.

    • i am building a custom mostly scratch built custom gunpla, and i like the look of barbatos and will borrow [arts from it to make my own unique model, great show guys stay awesome

    • It’s funny Todd brought up girlfriends and gunpla as my wife and I just built her first HG, the Gusion. She affectionately calls it “Fatty”. I am the luckiest man ever.

      PS: My favorite Gunpla TV moment has to be Syd’s crazy stop motion dance party from way back in the day.

    • destiny + heine colors + zeta = scramble gundam.

    • never had a re 1/100 before, maybe this will be my first?

    • give me that… i want to win.. 😀

    • nice kits

    • Gunpla tv and coffee, nice morning

    • I am a wizard!

    • Well, you can’t say Bandai isn’t trying to expand their audience. o.o

    • Syd was all like “Hey Todd, build those boring kits while I’ll go and build the new awesome Barbatos”. Nice show guys.

    • Runner Gundam frame 4 is from Gundam Astroth Origin kit. If you guys still wondering where it’s from haha. Hope you guys can have good sleep after this. Also gonna get that Shia Qan[T] , it’s sooo cute. kinda happy it’s not P Bandai like super Fumina Titan version, arghh so mad at you Bandai and Happy.

    • Hope the random number generator picks me!

    • Hi guys, today I have a little story for you:

      For a quite some time I wanted to write to HLJ support something about having an open order from 2013 with one item still being unavailable/backordered. I feared that one day they may change that to “discontinued” and cancel my order. That would be really bad.

      But what a surprise email I got last week – after 3 years they finally managed to get that missing item (HGUC 0080 Series Decals #1)! And what’s even better – I found out that 0080 Series Decals #2 (which I ordered in 2013 too but was canceled and put as discontinued) is in stock! So I swiftly grabbed it so it can join his brother waiting in the warehouse 🙂

      PS.: Now I feel a little bit sad because I always wanted to reach that 10th anniversary of having a item “backordered”… so maybe next time 🙂

    • I believed frame 4 was used on the Astaroth Origin and Barbatos 6th form. By the way, have you guys ever heard of the song “Rollover DJ” by Jet? It was the first thing I thought about when you guys brought out the Dijeh and now I got that song stuck in my head, haha.

    • I enjoyed the PG Unicorn build.

    • The Top 5 moments of Gunpla TV moments:

      5: When you guys said PG Unicorn/Banshee was on sale and I went and got one!
      4: Todd’s ball guy LOL
      3: Sid’s custom kits! They all look so cool and special (I like the Shin Musha the most than Thunderbird sinanju)
      2: First couple episode where Sid goes around showing warehouse, explaining kits, and tutorials. Very good to recommend when someone has interest in gunpla and want to learn a bit more before jumping in.
      1: Every time new episode comes on I get little excited and stop whatever I am doing to watch it! I wish it was more regular like once a week but I know you guys are doing this for us even thou you all have busy schedule (maybe not Todd since his Customizing his balls! JK)

      Anyways that’s my top 5 mostly just wrote down what I think when I think about you guys and gunpla TV. Well I love you guys keep up the good work and see you on next episode!!

    • Nice vid as always; loving the clear effect parts on a lot of the build fighters kits like the Qan[T], wish they would do more of that with MGs even though I do love HG kits all the same.

    • In my humble opinion I think the Scramble Gundam transformation lacks imagination.
      The best moments on gunpla tv, for me, are when Todd starts making silly puns, that’s just priceless.

    • Awesome episode, and you just reminded me how much I need the Dijeh haha. I love the designs of Zeta era kits, definitely my favorite UC series.

    • Great episode. Thanks, guys!

    • Syd if you`re a fan of old-school rock listen to a song or 2 from Steel Panther ( I recommend Death To All But Metal and If You Really Really Love Me ) They are a parody group.

      P.S I can`t be the only one who is NOT excited about the MG Psycho Zaku, right ? Lol

    • hihihi

    • MG GM Sniper II is going to be my first kit of the year. And first Master Grade in a long time.

    • Great show as always guys, I’m hoping to win that RE 1/100 Kit that your giving away 🙂

    • Shia Qan[t] gets all my ‘yes.’
      I’ll also be getting the BTF Full Saber to use with it.

    • A new episode. It must be a dream or something. I can’t wait for all the new IBO kits to come out and to see them on the show.

    • I’m wanting to get into perfect grade kits what would be a good one to get thinking of the unicorn,banshee,00 raiser or astray red frame

    • Wiiiinner

    • The scramble is pretty disappointing imo and the flight mode is the most random decision ever aside from the age 2 double bullet.

    • waiting for more HG IBO kits to be release and see how they do

    • Great show, horrible sound 🙁
      I was watching this with headphones and sound jumped from left to right and back with different volumes, that got me little dizzy 🙁

    • DIJEH Khaled!!
      I’m sorry, I’ll leave

    • Yoh! DIJEH! Drop the bass :3

    • I win this time yes?

    • I think the bearguy would look great painted as a fallen angel with horns and a pitchfork…….. great show hurry up next week so we can see the lupis in all its glory.

    • 1. tutorial for the hi nu gundam ver.ka
      2.live video of the HGUC Neo Zeong
      3. Tutorial for priming gunpla
      4.review of the hi nu gundam ver. ka
      5.the tutorial for the full armor gundam ver.ka

    • Setsuna getting busty as well. He looks like he needs some Beargguy love in his life.

    • you guys forgot the HLJ plug lol support and buy kits from HLJ! watched the new IBO season and flags are raised. did you raise yours?

    • I can’t think of a top five off the top of my head but the one moment that stuck with me was the time when Syd was going to give Todd the Graze Ian and Todd already had it built. Syd’s reaction was beautiful.

    • Favourite moments on Gunpla TV are usually the Face Palm Gundam moments, or whenever you guys say “That’s what she said.”

    • IBO is back, my wallet will run dry again…
      The scramble gundam is a disappointment of a zeta.

    • Come they told me
      Pa rum pum pum purple and drum
      A new born King to see
      Pa rum pum pum purple and drum

    • Took a while for a new episode to show up. Hope there would be more MGs to be regular released. Too much p-Bandai stuff going on.

    • Great episode guys!

    • Honestly I don’t have it in me to type out a full on non beggy comment, so I’ll be straight.

      Gimme.

    • great episode, I need a RE in my collection.
      I enjoyed the how to video watching Syd try to paint outside and it looks like he is spraying into the wind..

    • todd appearing in the dream in 200th anniversary was best moment

    • good episode again

    • Another Petitegguy and Beargguy for my collection!! woot!! love the show guys! cant wait for the Barbatos Lupus review 😀

    • Love the look of the Scramble Gundam. I feel like there should be more Orange kits. Great episode dudes~

    • I can’t say I have 5 favorite moments… there are way too many good puns for me to choose from !

    • The new kits look so promising! Do you think we’ll get an HG RX-78-2 Origin type?

    • Bear guys. Bear guys everywhere

    • Where’s Ryan? A dedicated segment perhaps? “Ryan’s Ramblings” haha definitely makes the episodes more lengthy.

      That scramble Gundam’s MA mode… Perhaps an acquired taste.

      I kinda like the figure stuff though, including the busts. I feel it kinda give us a chance to “build” and paint our favourite characters. I do believe that well painted, can look absolutely amazing. Very rarely can you get to paint anime figures unless its resin (extremely toxic and expensive) or those military ones.

    • i miss the days when you guys used to do tutorials and show us what your building on the show like ryans tank and the gundam themed car. please do more stuff like that instead of just telling us your going to build a kit take it home and have it fully built next episode. why can’t you guys do more stuff like the tank where you make up your own colour scheme and give us regular updated on the show on how it’s going. don’t get me wrong the show is still great and even though i don’t have a favourite moment i loved it when you used to use the joke DOES IT TRANSFORM?!

    • Pink guy’s hot, sticky sweet!

    • Favorite Gunpla TV Moment: Episode 200; Syd was having a Gunpla Tea Party and Todd wasn’t invited 😀

    • Would love an RE/100 kit added to the collection!

    • Waiting for more HG IBO kits to be release!

    • yeah. we need more MG.

    • They’d already mentioned and featured the other MG’s kit. I wish MG Gn Sniper II followed by MG Leo or MG Kshatriya..

    • sweet ep like the design of the scramble

    • I like cakes and gundam! Not together, just on there own

    • I must get the Beargguy P for my daughter’s birthday!

      I have a question for Syd (or anyone really) about how you determine / chose which kits to paint and which to just build/line/decal. I realize its a bit different being exposed / have easier access to so many kits; but how do you decide which ones to dedicate the time and focus to painting up all nice?

      I just finished my first painted build (sanded nubs, masked where appropriate, painted inner frame & armor, etc) and now that I look at the thing on my shelf… it seems like it would be criminal to not do the same for any future kits. Despite this I am over-eager and want to enjoy the build process without all the fuss but don’t want to ‘waste’ a kit by not dedicating myself to it fully. Catch-22 – curious how you or your colleagues decide from kit-to-kit.

    • Top 5 lol’s (from what I have watched)

      5. Syd taking new apprentice Star Wars style
      4. Gettin’ two dudes to ride each other – Scott about Kamen Rider
      3. Ballgguy
      2. Ryan looking at anime lady bits in the warehouse ‘IT’S NEVER A GOOD TIME’
      1. Puzzle TV, Cosplay TV – two princesses (got me in trouble at parent/teacher event – thanks!)

    • IBO S2!

    • Scramble gundam looks really disappointing.

    • I would love to win the RE Dijeh to pair up with my MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0!

    • Hey mr. Dijeh.. please play my song.. 💃.. i want that Dijeh..

    • Scramble Gundam looks oddly plain and weird at the same time.

    • image not available …

    • This dijeh’s gonna play a happy music

    • My favorite moments were the when you did your “How to” segments. Panel lines, washes, painting, decals, damage etc. Kind of wish you guys would do some more of that stuff.

      PS: You guys should feature some the new Votoms, Macross, and other kits that are featured in the other articles on this website. The pictures are nice, but I’d like to also see videos.

    • Diggin’ the Lupus, especially after watching the newest episode! Seems like a great kit, just like its predecessor.

    • The Dijeh looks awesome!

    • HI GUYS,

      Another nice episode! and I would suggest to add a segment on your show. that title would be Guess that Pilot? it’s where you have silhouette of an Gundam pilot at the beginning of your show and the answer would be later on plus that pilot biography or character details…

      I love the IBO on Anime and its Gunpla, I have couple of IBO kits on HG looking forward to complete IBO kits on HG and owning some MG’s.
      I have already watch the first episode of Season 2, some new Characters and would like to see how this new characters played out on season 2, Though I shall miss Biscuit…
      More power on your show and keep on building and reviewing Gunpla.

      Thanks,
      Mugen

    • There’s a hurricane outside and I’m just sitting here building Gunpla. #Priorities

    • Cool!

    • Hey guys, thanks for giving us a look at the new kits that were released, while I’m a bit meh about the Scramble, the Shia Qan[t] caught my interest so I’ll have to get that some point down the line.

      As for my favorite moment, that would have to be when Todd showed off all his Gyans, all those puns really were Gyantastic even if Syd had to make some effort not to eye roll, plus its nice to see someone show his enjoyment of any hobby, just keep an eye on him Syd if he starts talking to them…its never a good sign.

      Now I was wondering you guys Syd and Todd could help me with something, I was wanting to pick up kits of the EW ver main suits of Gundam Wing (Wing Zero, Heavy Arms, Deathscythe, Sandrock, Altron and Epyon). But in the 1/144 scale I prefer (thanks to RG and space) I’ve heard the kits are a bit old and really need updating, especially the Epyon (my first ever Gundam kit actually!). I wanted to know in your honest opinions if the MG 1/100s difference in quality is enough to make an exception to get them in the bigger scale, or that I should wait for a bit and see if bandai releases some updated kits, thanks for the help!

    • Hello guys!

      I don’t really have a best moment because at almost every episode you’ll start saying funny things by combining words and staff so its always funny for me.

      Keep up the good work. 🙂

    • been waiting for ep 218 some time, love it

    • Couple building is not limited to Nobel and Bearguys only,man.There are tons of other options. Top 5: The Gundam kiaris trooper and Graze Carta rescue vid,The Ball Guy vid, The Gyantastic vid,The Bearguy preetty Yandere advis vid(the bit sold it), The Fumina Bust vid(for PLOT)

    • The best moment was when I was announced as the Dijeh contest winner in episode 219 of Gunpla TV.

    • cant say i like the new build fighters design but it is still fun to watch, season 1 was definitely better tho

    • I’m gonna get my QANTA a girlfriend!!!!

    • Ballguy is love, ball guy is life

    • Dijeh bring down the house!!!!!

    • The episode 200 was of course one of my top one, especially with the Syd x PG Unicorn skit, lol.

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 7 months ago

    This episode of Gunpla TV is a little smaller than normal as we go over some simpler models. Don’t worry, there are some surprises. For everyone!

    Kits featured in this episode:

    – 1/144 HGPG Pandagguy
    – 1/144 […]

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 7 months ago

    A somewhat subdued episode compared to the more recent Gunpla TV episodes we’ve put out recently. We’ve got a couple cool kits to show off but more importantly, we’ve got the info for the November (and some […]

    • Love the IBO kits! Waiting for season 2!

    • Loving the Frame Arms vibe from thses IBO kits and their low price points make them a little easier to collect.

    • I’d love to fill out my HG IBO collection. ^.^

    • Just got started building the HG Barbatos 1 (Form 1 still looks better than all others). The Astaroth Origin also looks great! Can’t wait for the new kits to come out.

    • RAISE YOUR FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Looking forward to the new IBO!!

    • The frog gusion. i want dat hammer, it looks badass. Hyped for the revive strike freedom, do you think bandai will continue to make sword impulse revive? It wouldnt make sense to stop at force impulse and blast impulse

    • Super excited for the Psycho Zaku!!! And Syd being in Japan will you be following the World Cup of Hockey and the upcoming NHL season?

    • The last time I was… actually this is the first time I was ever this early.

      HGCE Strike Freedom Revive doesn’t look like the Super Dragons separate or anything. Other than that, it looks SO much better than the original HG.

      It would have been nice to have Fumina’s hands out on her Figurize Bust. She could be holding her GP Base and the Star Winning — and no, Ryan, she’s never worn a maid outfit in the show.

      First it was the ‘Hi-Resolution’ Barbatos. Now it’s the ‘Full Mechanics.’ I wonder how it differs.

      Shottie? Is Astaroth Origin secretly Sarge from ‘RvB?’Red Team’s well-represented in ‘IBO’ with the Grimgerde as well. Good luck getting that Graze back to Todd’s desk before he gets there, Syd.

    • Aiming to gushion rebake 🙂 and hopping the origin Astaroth arrive to work in it, great show as allways!

    • I really wish astaroth was in the show, its a really cool design

    • Would love to win. Great show guys. Keep them coming.

    • great show as always wonder what is the next RG kit

    • I’m too poor and too much of a coward to tackle a master grade! I want a real HG Zeta!

    • Can’t wait for the MG Psycho Zaku in December, that thing will take my whole shelf, it’s so huge!

    • Awesome show,
      Like always Todd make my day jajaja
      Waiting for Second Season of IOB
      Pleaseeeeeeee give me the Gusion Rebake o the other jajaja

    • Hand the Gusion-Rebake over!

      …please…

    • Why not leave the panda guy and Mikazuki bust to the ladies? I’m sure hey would love to see a cute panda and a shirtless guy with a six-pack 😛

      Also, ‘Fumina’ is just a name, but the kanji for her name reads out as ‘2-3-7′, which are the numbers she uses for all her kits’ model numbers in the anime.

    • I want that Astaroth Origin!!!

    • not gonna lie, seeing what the Astaroth origin can do now has changed my outlook on it. Thank you Syd senpai!

    • Already pre ordered my Psycho Zaku. The price tag is heftier than I thought it would be. I was expecting a price point close to the Full Armor Thunderbolt Ver Ka. Thoughts?

    • I saw both kits while volunteering for an anime convention in the states. The two look real good as they still are in the Season One. The Banshee shall welcome the two kits in his collection.

      What are your thoughts on a RG F91 and Berga Giros?

    • That Astaroth origin is a monster, hope you could build the Oscar II Strike Interceptor from Active Raid

    • Great episode, the Astaroth origin is one nice design

    • wow that zaku is big also is that the first ver KA zaku kit?

    • Wow! Astaroth origin is so cool!

    • Gimme!

    • Another great eps.!!

    • Great episode guys looking forward to more bust reviews!

    • Hi

    • I pray that I get that green bulky guy. Nice episode. I love a video loaded with HG kits.

    • Great episode guys looking forward to more reviews!!

    • Thanks for the showing of the Psycho Gundam that box looks like size of a MG kit. I really want that but I am worried it might look a little off compared to the RG Zeta Gundam kits that have been released. Man I’m going to have to buy it anyway.

    • Great episode and the Astaroth origin is one nice design.

    • IBO second season is coming!!

    • I win now yes?

    • Ooooo that Astaroth Origin looks tempting. Hope I win a kit ofc.

    • IBO giveaway? Oh, my flag is raised all the way, baby.

    • gusion rebake is love <3
      plsssss gimme that kit!!!!!!!

    • Too many bust for the figure-rise bust…bust everywhere…

      And mikazuki is topless

    • Gusion rebake is love!!

    • Can’t wait for IBO season two, the anime and the kits that are going to come with it. First IBO MG soon? Maybe…

    • You can never go wrong with giant robots and shotguns, love the Astaroth Origin, even with the giant blocks hanging off its shoulders. Great episode guys.

    • Too many people wanting the figure-rise bust for the bust. Also, the Psyco Zaku backpack looks like a freaking satellite.

    • I love it

    • I want me some rebake! 🙂

    • It would be cool if I get the rebake while baking stuff haha

    • Can’t wait until both the new IBO and Gundam build fighters anime to come out and the kits that will follow.

    • That Fumina Figurerise BUST! Anyway, looks like it’s another year without MG Char’s Zaku II 3.0…

    • I wonder Bandai will someday produce Master Grade IBO Kits..Anyhow Another Great Episode guys!

    • great show again. let’s bake some cakes…

    • Can’t wait for all the new kits, got to save up for Psycho Zaku

    • yipeeeeeeee

    • First time commenting here so let me know if I’m doing it right… Just came across your channel/blog and thought I’d leave a comment for an entry in your latest video. I assume you guys didn’t see the new IBO stuff as you were filming? “Full Bake City” is officially the best Gundam name ever.

    • i really want that psycho zaku. nick cage films, leaving las vegas surely had to be one of the better ones.
      rebake me

    • (SCSI is pronounced as skuz-ee)
      Fumina was at the start of GBF-Try a competent female main character which is rare in a Gundam show and then Pixiv exploded with revealing artwork of her. As the show progressed her character faded and her breasts were growing at a ridiculous rate.
      In the final episode the show returned to its more wacky roots and Minato Sakai, a rival who loves Fumina made the Super Fumina as a tribute to Fumina in a building contest. Judges be judges, Fumina be angry, gunpla is freedom and an all-out gunpla battle ends the season.

    • Can’t wait for the inevitable Astaroth Origin/Astaroth kitbash and for that matter, the IBO Chimera Gundam

    • I want the RE/100 Bawoo!!!

    • Love watching the show. Hope I win this time. All the best guys.

    • This elf sigma is neat! like the head.
      great episode as always 🙂

    • So, it’s either the Psycho Zaku or the Steam sale…

    • Wow the Astaroth is so Red

    • The Lupus design looks really interesting, might have to pick up the 1/100! Anyway I’ve l aways liked the Rebake, wouldn’t mind wining the HG for free 😀

    • A new episode of Gunpla TV is another portion of my life put to good use.

      MG Psycho Zaku HYPE. There is no way I can afford this until the far, far future, and even if I had that cash, i’d spend it on the Sazabi Ver. Ka instead. Still, you get a LOT of stuff on this, and I always loved MS with tones of guns, because you can’t go wrong with more guns. The MS itself looks amazing, it’s detailed, has those frame covers, has all the weapons it could possibly need, and has tones of thrusters for space mobility. This has got to be one of my favorite MS ever, and i’m probably going to get both the HG and the MG Ver. Ka one day.

      The HGCE Strike Freedom Revive was to be expected, same could be said with the lame gold. I don’t mind it on the Strike Freedom as much as on the Hyaku Shiki as it really doesn’t show much of it. Only the joints and some small areas, probably going to get the MG though. The Transient Glacier looks really cool. The deep sea green mixed with the clear dark violet is a really awesome looking combination, and instantly makes this kit a must buy for me. I expected the next RE/100 to be the Bawoo, as it’s a really respected MS and with the proportions, I knew this was it. I’m probably going to get this and the HG in MP colors, so i’m really looking forward to this release as well! The early type Guncannon is another must buy, I always loved the “cannon-type” MS, and this guy is no exception. The simple, realistic navy blue colorscheme is also a great touch, did I mention my favorite color was blue?

      Clearly Bandai is spoiling their fans with the Fumina bust. I mean, multiple arms and a removable jacket plus…the real “bust”. I could already see the shelves being filled and emptied of this Figure-rise bust quickly. The new IBO kits have my attention for sure. The Geyreal takes the cake as my new favorite Graze, and maybe even my favorite IBO MS in general, very hyped for that one specifically.

      Definitely getting the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus, the HG’s just miss too many color apps for me to deem satisfactory in my standards. Plus, it looks extremely detailed with all those lines, and since I love panel lines, this is going to be a great kit for me.

      The Elf Sigma is no MS, but his design and colors call to me somewhat, maybe i’ll do a bash with a Gunpla using this guy one day. That head looks like it would go really well on an HG Sinanju.

      Ever since I saw it, i’ve always been hyped for the Astaroth Origin. While the Astaroth already looked really cool, the origin takes the cake. The sharp, sinisger, angular design combined with that red colorscheme makes this kit look like an actual demon, which is very faithful to it’s name origin (ha). The weapons are also really awesome, a shotgun, sword, and a sledgehammer?! Yes please! It’s fight mode is also something really cool, there’s just so much this kit can do! Stickers seem like a bit of a pain, but it’s totally worth it. Hoping we get a 1/100 though, color accuracy is always a good thing.

    • These new kits that are coming out keep getting better and better.

    • I miss the MG line.

    • all this hype for the new orphans season……… im still waiting for ryans falcon to be finished

    • may you always build Gunpla TV! early christmas present please!

    • Love the idea of figure rise bust just waiting for a character I want. How do we still not have Char or Amuro!

    • the rebaked cake … or the frogman ….. hummmmm … who knows ?
      ps : I got the parts from the Tod top gear giveaway …. and boy did my family teased me enough !! TOOOYS we paid 2 dollars for 2 sticks “the lance and the axe” and my grandmother thought that Japan was hiring me XD XD XD

    • thats i what i like about gundam ibo, its not like gundam build fighters try fun happy time, its dark and action packet its more realistic. ps i just cant wait for ibo s2

    • i think the other astaroth was better i liked the asymtrical design the elf sigma looks good too

    • Great episode as usual.

      The Astaroth has a Sinanju vibe to me or maybe its just because it’s red and has a really nice silhouette.

    • I loved the bawoo since the first time I saw it. It was before the “internet” on a Hobby Japan magazine and it was a scratchbuild model.
      Too many years are passed to get an “high quality” version of it.
      I don’t understand Bandai logic sometimes! The Bawoo is lots more beautiful than other kits but they wait years to do it in Bandai.
      Some other mobil suit are ugly but they have several different versions…I don’t understand why.

    • STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!! It’s hammer time! 😀

    • You guys better not “Bust” your balls building all these kits for next week. Next week’s episode is probably going to have a 18+ rating because of that topless Mikazuki bust, haha, jk. I am still kind of on the fence on picking one up, so next episode will help me decide if it is worth it. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next episode!

    • Great episode as always!

      PS: If the RNG gods allow me to win anything, I want you guys to sign the kit box. And to make it interesting you have to use your non-dominant hand. With one of those big fat kindergarten Sharpies.

    • hope for regular gusion

    • I really like the IBO kit designs, but i’m still mad at bandai for giving nearly all new 1/144 kits cruddy hands.

    • Man having a psycho gundam would be great, for a minute i thought you were giving it away! That would be a dream come true 🙂 Great episode as always guys.

    • Not enough shotguns in the Gundam universe; just the Kampfer and the Astaroth Origin.

    • I really like the Astaroth Origin. As always, good jobs on the show

    • Kinda glad I didn’t go for the Super Fumina competition, because Ryan keeps fiddling and breaking kits XD I saw those parts breaking off! Also I ordered one recently, so getting another one would have been daft.

      Hoping for the Rebake (despite the stupid name) if I win, because the normal Gusion just looks daft. Well, unless it’s that one guy who turned theirs into a Blastoise, that was kinda awesome.

      Looking forward to the GNT-0000 00 Shia Qan[T] (because Shia’s kits are kinda awesome). Tempted to modify it, but kinda afraid of possibly breaking it (I’m not as clumsy as Ryan, but still…).

    • IBO season 2 hypuuuuuuuuu

    • Love ibo! Excited for the English dub. Hope to win a kit!

    • Great show guys can’t wait till i get able to build some gunpla and make my own customs again. And i dont understand you people would buy a bust of a anime character it’s just wierd

    • I really want that gosion

    • FUMINA?! I need her! :OOOO

    • I’ve been buying those Macross Busts…darn them and there amazing singers.

      It never occurred to me tho, that Bandai must be streamlining all across the board with the way the kits are being built.

    • Can’t wait for new season of IBO!!! Good job guys. Enjoyed watching this episode

    • So many kits, so little time… I am Gundam

    • IRON BLOODED ORPHAN !!!!!

    • Can’t wait for IBO season 2!

    • Wahooo! Can’t wait for season 2,I made the crazy decision to start watching Season 1 while visiting Tokyo recently and came back with a rather crazy PsychoGundam sized addiction to Gunpla! Thank God I found you guys though, I’ve brought about 15 kits so far and am not stoping yet!

      here’s hoping we get to see that shotgun in action, if they write Astaroth into season 2

    • The Astaroth Origin is like the Swiss arny knife of Gundams. Hell, it’s even got the right color scheme.

    • I just recieved my package from HLJ! It came with the clear file with the Gundam Gusion Rebake on it! Thanks guys!

    • That Zaku… is totally a PSYCHO!!!

    • Rebake my gushion

    • I need one of those IBO kits man

    • Man, I can’t wait for the Guncannon Early Type that’s coming out in november…

    • You guys are awesome I’m subscribed to you on Youtube I enjoy your vids keep up the awesomeness 👍😃

    • waiting for IBO season 2

    • Great Episode once again guys! Hope they will incorporate the mechanics in HG to MG so we can also easily swap parts in MG scale kits.

    • free kit? why not?

    • So disappointed that I didn’t win the Super Fumina. Now I need to come up with different cover story to explain why I got it to the wife. 😛

    • IMO, National Treasure is definitely Nick Cage’s best movie B|

    • Would love to see Ryan’s finished “Falcon”, Syd’s “Qubeley custom”, and well, I guess Tod could show his balls… ahem, RB 79’s I mean.

    • gusion rebake!!!

    • That astaroth origin looks awesome!

    • At first I though Astroth Origin can transform into a plane or jet mode, a little disappoint but it’s still look awesome.

    • Hey guys, love the show, been watching, on youtube, for awhile now and it’s got me collecting gunpla again after about a 10 year hiatus.

      I’ve really been enjoying the RG line and now i’m looking to get my hands on a few Mg’s.

      Anyway, i’m a really big fan of IBO, super siked for the 2nd series and i would love to get my hands on some IBO models.

      Thanks HLJ for all the useful hints & tips and a special thanks for inspiring me to dive back into this amazing hobby again.

    • Nice episode as always!
      And ready to loose the RNG as usual.

    • another great episode. But please guys give away kits that aren’t built already. Building them is the most fun part.

    • double dose of Gusion!!!

    • This Elf sigma is so cool!!

    • Slight correction. Before the previous haitus, the “Figure-Rise” name was used on both “MG” and a HG equivalent, called “Figure-Rise 6”. They are 6 inch tall models, and includes franchise such as Tiger and Bunny, Accel World and Kamen Rider. Unfortunately the line ended before it even got the recognition it deserves.

      Since then the Figure-Rise seems to have evolved into the “Sprukits” of Bandai US, focusing on Halo and DC superheroes, and venture again into both “MG” (called level 3) and “HG” (Level 2) scale, which again seems to have failed before it took off as this year there is no new info regarding releases.

      Looking at what is available now under the “Figure-Rise Standard” flag, it seems the future might be brighter. Using the Dragonball franchise should bring this line the attention it deserves. Which I hope will means the line will last longer, Because I want more Active Raid gears be released as kits!

    • That Asteroth Origin looks sick!

    • Thank you for making all the videos!

    • Thanks, guys!

    • Waiting for my shipments ^_^

    • Would like to win 1 of the IBO kits.

    • Syd, Ryan, and todd, please do the Dab!

    • some mobile suit started to look like sci fi movie alien / hybrid / mecha suit. XD

    • Nicholas Cages best films have to be Con Air and the Rock!

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan and Syd drool over the two new massive Zoid kits and Todd gets his chance to talk about the two High Grade kits he wasn’t able to share. And don’t forget that we have a Parts Campaign happening!

    Kits […]

    • Super Fumina!

    • Awesome show. Looking to buy some Keroro Gunso model kits from HLJ hopefully pretty soon. Also has anyone had experience building the HGUC Psycho Gundam kit. I wonder how it would look next tot he revive line of gunpla.

    • LES GO!?!

    • Nice review of the build fighters Gyanpla! I enjoyed it and might be thinking of getting one. The figurise kit is actually Elf Sigma according to greek lettering.

      Hope to get this Fumina as mine has one of her eye lens missing 🙁

    • I just went to see Final Fantasy XV Kingsglaive in the theatre on Sunday. It was a pretty good movie, incredible animation, decent story, translation from a Japanese script to English did leave a bit to be desired but if you haven’t seen it I’d say you might as well.

    • HG Fumina pretty please

    • That Gyancelot is awesome, could use a few licks of paint to really bring out the gold on it though. Can’t wait to purchase the re-release of Sentinel’s Black Getter off of your website tomorrow, haven’t been this excited for a figure in forever!

      ps: shameless plug to go watch Getter Robo Armageddon. It’s awesome.

    • Give it to me!

    • After almost 15 years I’m back to building Gundam. Thanks for the web show. It has provided me lots of entertainment and inspiration.

    • Super Fum

    • *Super Fumina!!!

    • Wait did you say something about metal gundam parts where can I find it on HLJ I looked and couldn’t find anything.

      • You can do a search for Adlers Nest and their aftermarket parts will come up. Searching for HIQ should bring up those as well.

    • Thanks for remembering me Cyd. :3

    • Super Fumina for the win

    • Oh My!!! Active Raid!!!

    • i bet someone is gonna make a mg re-gz zzii

    • again I know it’s cheaper to give away kits that you’ve built on the show but I know that at least I personally enjoy the build as much as the kit itself.

      P.S. that doesn’t mean I don’t want the kits(it just takes away from the fun)

    • I hope someday soon we get a Zeta variant that transforms instead of partsforms

    • Super Fumina Super PANTSU !!!
      Luck Iekkeeeeh

    • love the show guy this is the first one i’ve been able to watch in a while and glad you guys are still going strong.

    • Watching this while building my kits… Hi

    • Can’t wait to see how the Astaroth Origin looks

    • I been thinking about getting that ZZII, but I’m not sure if I should get it in HLJ or go to the anime store that frequent to buy it, its been so long since I’ve gone for a visit.

    • My guess is that Final Fantasy 15 is delayed for a lauch release with the X1 Scorpio and/or the PS4 Neo, it would be a great system seller.
      Next month you can witness the sheer terror of the mg PSYCHO zaku, it would tottally take 2 or more livestreams to build that monstrosity.

    • I’m new here. I have been keeping tracks of Syd’s WIP and reviews for some time. Do Ryan and Todd have their own blogs? Oh and Fumina please. Thanks Ryan and Syd (and random generator lol).

    • Supa Fumina prize! 1000 replies incoming.

    • Hope i can win something like ever. lol but im so getting the ZZ2 kit. looks awesome.

    • Thanks for another great episode!

      I kinda prefer that ganz also, but i’m not really the biggest ganz man myself, much preferred that second kit you showed, looks more like kind of mecha.

    • Astaroth Origin does look interesting. I MIGHT get one, if reviews are positive.

      Funny Todd should mention high heels in Build Fighters kits: I believe the Zetwo has the highest heels at this point. Nice job, Sakai (also, Bandai, why aren’t we getting a Super Fumina, Titans ver? Don’t think anyone would want the bunny ears? Guess again)!

      The Super Fumina wasn’t runner up, it was disqualified ’cause Sakai didn’t get Fumina’s permission to build it. I wouldn’t have given him permission to make that emaciated torso piece either. Yuuma won with the Lightning Zeta Gundam. Including the Scramble and Tryon 3, Build Fighters has lots of Zeta-based suits. When are they going to introduce the Transient Glacier?

    • RIP in peace Gene Wilder

    • haha would be funny to win that super fumina, anyways what do you guys think about the new season of iron blooded orphans season 2? plus do you think will we get a HG Z3 in the future?

    • Another episode of Gunpla TV brings me more joy for the week!

      The Iron Kong PK looks awesome, the dakka and the magenta colorscheme looks really nice. However, I can’t take the name seriously, the reason being that “PK” is actually a swear word where I live, so I just refer to this as the Iron Kong “Pink”.

      Again, the new HGBF kits all look awesome! I’m definitely going to eventually get them all of them besides for the Beargguy P. The ZZII is the one I like the most though, it’s colors, bulk, size, firepower and transformation just sells me out in every way.

      The Astaroth Origin looks AWESOME. I love red suits, and the Astaroth Origin isn’t just red, but is menacing at the same time. It looks strong, sturdy and a bit bulky, yet looks quite agile, giving this guy a very nice and balanced look. He looks absolutely awesome, has nice gimmicks/weapons, i’m definitely getting this guy one day and nobody can change my mind.

      The Gyancelot looks great! I love the weapon with it’s Zeon symbol, and while I already love the Gyan, the Gyancelot’s new parts make this thing look a lot more knight-ish and regal, I dig it. The foil stickers don’t look good, but were to be expected honestly. I have the Gyan Revive in my backlog, but from what I know, it’s a very, very good kit, so i’m getting the Gyancelot as well.

      The ZZII is actually pronounced (Double Zetsu), and like I said, I LOVE THIS GUY. He looks sharp and has some really nice bulk that don’t make the kit look fat in any way. His colors and predominant blue colorscheme calls to me, I do like the classic Gundam colors, but I especially love this shade of blue. Did I mention that blue is my favorite color? This kit has a ton of blue and I dig it. He’s got some nice looking guns, and I love giant guns! He also transforms, and I really dig transforming kits, so this thing is easily one of my favorite build fighters kits for sure.

    • The more I order from you guys, the more I realize that your like the furniture stores, there is always a deal/promotion going on, the deals, they never end!

    • My sausage fingers really hinder me from doing transforming kits.

    • How have they not made an Amuro bust yet?!?!?!?!

    • Can’t wait to see how the Astaroth Origin looks and nice episode!!

    • It’s todd time

    • RNG MAGIC!

    • Super Fumina!

    • Modeling Fumina should be fun! I cross my finger to win her.

    • That Figu-rise busts from Macross Delta are rather interesting 😀

      Now I’m thinking to build and paint one just to enter a big local scale modelling contest next month and have fun in the “Busts” category 🙂

      • OK, I just ordered Makina and VF-31C… sorry Freya, you can’t compete in this “bust” category 😛

        Now let’s hope it will come before the E-day 😀

    • Fumina on Fumina bust….. hehe

    • Great episode guys!!!

    • Nice build fighter kits, got me pumped to see what other cool re-mods they come up with.

    • great show! nic cages best movie has to be Wicker man though.

    • good job guys

    • Great show guys, can’t wait to see the Active Raid kit review next episode but speaking of the Super Fumina, I have just placed my preorder for the P-Bandai version, I couldn’t resist those cute ears, lol ^_^

    • Let’s go again! Super Fumina!

    • HG build parts for the win! When you buy that RG don’t forget to add some solid HGs, like I did 😉 still don’t know what a Super Fumina is but its Gundam and strange so I hope to win lol

    • That zoid looks neat.

    • Curse you bandai for making super fumina titans ver a P-bandai 😛

    • I had to pause the video for a moment during the MR2 and Lamborgini segment, because I acutally thought I was watching Top Gear. Todd, your secret is out; you are the Stig! In addtion, have you guys ever watched Home Improvement? Everytime I hear Todd Time it reminds me of Tool Time from the show.
      As usual keep up the awesome work and I look forward to next week’s episode!

    • super episode

    • planning on getting the Fumina TITANS very. so the winning original one would be nice. haha

    • Finally got registered here, that took it few month. Nice to see Fumina giveaway. Can’t wait my order with Figure rise busts to arrive. Good show

    • Todd was staring into your soul, Syd. O_O

      Bandai: We heard you like busts. So we put busts on busts, so you can stare at them while you stare at them 8D

    • Can’t wait for the shia quanta

    • Aw i just bought a super fumina. Regardless, the gyancelot looks as great as ever, and it has the classic colors as opposed to the revive’s color scheme.

    • I wish the foot joints in the ZZII had mid foot joint

    • I need the waifu bot

    • Great video.

    • You guys should do fancy transitions for when Ryan and Todd switch.

    • You guys should do fancy jump-cut transitions or something where Todd flies off his chair and Ryan pops out from under the table or something; that’d be fun.

    • There is a good model here, but there are more important matters such as the waifu that I must have

    • That parts campaign, man… I ordered so many kits because of that! … Maybe I should pick up a few more before the campaign ends…

    • Parts campaign is great, gave me even more reason to order the Denim/Slender Origin Zaku. Can’t go wrong with the Zaku kits. Great vid as always.

    • that zoids are badass…

    • Like the Zoids!!! and Fumina ………… !!!

    • I wish the black Fumina that showed up brief in the recent episode of Built Fighter is available for sale. I like black better than yellow.

    • Gyancelot Looks awesome just need double shield to make it more badass

    • cool ep love the gyancelot not so much the zz2

    • I want to see that Saber Tiger built!

    • That ZZII would’ve been better if it had proper feet..

    • Great show love the zoids!!

    • that Gyancelot is so nice! 😀

    • Double Zetta 2 heels are so overkill but they actually great if you look at the overall aesthetic of the MS.

    • I can’t wait to get a hold of those Delta busts, right now they are in my private warehouse!

    • That gyancelot is pretty ridiculous! The Double Zeta is pretty cool but Bandai, please lay off the high heels!Jeezuz! Super Fumina…Hot

    • You should keep Ryan away from the kits you give away before he breaks them. (^_^)

    • Haha .. ruining the prizes ..

      All call him, the Gunplabuild-Bot, Tod not. But I call Tod, God and I already placed 2 Gyancelots and one Gyan rewive in my private warehouse. I am going to turn them into shiny knights. Always looked for a chance to use these nailpolish chromepowder. And of corse..heads will be swapped.
      As for the sigma elf.. I placed it in my warehouse too, but it depents on Tods review.. 😀
      Thanks for the show!

    • The waifu is strong in this episode.

    • Thank you for making all the videos!

    • Do you guys ever tried to do a full custom gundam?

    • time to win

    • Fumina-chwaaaann~

    • That HGBF Super Fumina looks nice!

    • yay Ryan read my comment!!!
      made my day thanks mate!

    • Super Fumina for the win!

    • That Z2 is dressed to the nines. Love it!

    • that’s super! may you always build gunpla tv!

    • personally never been a fan of Z II, or this for that matter, but that gyancelot looks pretty nice.

    • Gyancelot!!! I love the design

    • The ZZII is the second Build Fighters kit to be based on the ZZ; the first was the Tryon 3. I recently discovered that the Tryon 3 was originally scratch-built by a modeler in Hobby Japan magazine, and was originally called the ZZZ.

    • SUPER FUMINA!!!

    • Supa Fumina! That kid is wayyyy too popular 😛

    • can i have a fumina pls…

    • Gotta say the ZZII looks way better than I expected. Really cool sort of sleeper kit.

    • There’s a bit too much blue in the ZZII. It’ll look great kitbashed with the Lightning Z though.

    • Can you still get the Zoids Panzer Tier 01 Gorem? my sister brought me one over twenty five years ago but I have lost the odd piece over the years

  • Finished up with decals and lining on both of these!
  • Made a simple diorama for my HG guntank early type as a birthday present for a friend. turned out a lot better then expected for my first try!^^
  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 8 months ago

    The latest Master Grade, the Full Armor Gundam Ver Ka. (Thunderbolt Ver.), is amazing but can be a little tricky. Syd shows you some things to pay attention to when it comes to assembling this beast as well as […]

    • great

    • Hyakushiki has always been one of my favorite mobile suits.

    • wow another great episode

    • Can’t stand that gold,ganna have to paint it.

    • PARTS CAMPAIGN!!!!!!! Sounds like a perfect time to buy my first RG kit, especially since I just finished my first MG which was the Wing Proto Zero. Thank you HLJ!

    • Great episode guys. Looking forward to take a peek at the Barbatos DX.
      Btw… are there any news about the red Astaroth Origin?

    • Hyakushiki looks pretty good. Love the gold color.

    • So the Final Fantasy XV release has been pushed back :'(

      But Tokyo is hosting the 2020 Olympics!

    • I usually don’t like the petite guys but I would flip if they made a petite frog guy!

    • I’m really excited for IBO s2 but it’ll probably break my heart again

    • Can the RG Sinanju fit in the Neo Zeong?

    • cant resist that god gundam.. love it, japan is hosting 2020 Olympics, i wonder what would be their mascot?.. a gundam… what would be their freebie award along with the medal?… a gundam… , damn!!! i should start training now.. to get that Olympic edition gundam… 🙂

    • Hey, a 1/100 giveaway! This is just up my alley, not like those 1/144 shorties.

    • Lmaoo PG balls
      looking forward to more build fighter kits!!
      Great episode guys!

    • The whole HLJ team will be participating in the 2020 Olympics. Syd trains by running around and running down people when Snorlax appears. They stopped gassing up the trucks and they had Todd carry the boxes in and out of the warehouse. Olympics came. They have a Gundam building competition. To Syd’s and Todd’s horror, their fingers have become too thick to hold nippers. Despair.

    • Good Jobs!!!

    • So few MG from Bandai this year..

    • Good call on the RG Build Strike. I was chuckling when I saw that announced.

    • rg fa gundam tb when

    • I have a feeling they will do the same to the RG Build Strike like it’s MG version. They’ll make the universal booster and had parts so you can turn it into the Star Build Strike.

    • Awesome show guys and thanks for the help with the FA Thunderbolt Gundam!

    • Wow, that’s some coverage on the kit details. Thanks.

    • Great episode guys and now I am looking through your hg list trying to see which I should get lol

    • That 2nd head from the Northern Pod, if you put it in the HG Gundam X and HG Air Masters it will look like FX-9900-GB GX-Bit and FW-9800-GB GW-Bit, Plus Im sure Bandai will release RG Star Build parts but as “P-Bandai”

    • In all fairness, We have yet to see the end result of Syd’s Sinanju stein/Quebely kitbash. So maybe Todd deserves some breathing room about his balls.

    • Great episode as always guys. Looking forward to the next one.

    • sweet ep thinking i might pick up the northern pod, but yeah not liking that the parts campagin starts the day after i get my package of gunpla

    • great episode!
      Can’t wait to get my hands on the full armor Gundam. 🙂

    • I ordered so many kits for the parts campaign. I may have over done it. Lol

    • What kit will you never giveaway? Because you like it too much.

    • It’s cool to see how the Full Armor Gundam Ver Ka. (Thunderbolt Ver.) was built. Nice review of the Hyaku Shiki. Any insider info on possible releases later this year?

    • I was never a fan of the “gold” that bandai gave you like the hyaku shiki just convinced me to buy it!

    • hyaku shiki love here. Wonder if you will do p bandai release for the revive serie

    • Yet another fantastic episode! Thank you for being awesome guys! Also, thank you Syd, your tips about how to handle those vinyl frame covers, made me feel 10x better about trying to tackle my MG FA Gundam! And lastly, who wouldn’t want to see the collection of balls?!

    • Ironic that Sunrise makes us think the Northern Pod is designed specifically for the Force Impulse, and yet Bandai designs it so it doesn’t work 100%. But we’ve seen that before with the Super Fumina and the Powered Arms Powereder add-on, specifically with the two Gatling gun mountings, which don’t work without cutting off the pegs.

      Thanks in advance for reading and responding to my comment for the Carta’s Graze draw, Syd. It’ll be nice to see if someone can get the RG Sinanju right on the first build, since I’m sure most of can only afford one (what with all the other kits we’ll want to get). It’d sure be sweet to get that Kimaris to carry Carta.

    • The IBO hype train is going full speed ahead! MG or bust Bandai!

    • customize campaign is back!

    • LES GO!

    • Great episode guys, looking forward to the next one!!

    • nice show as always.

    • Lovely episode guys, the ‘Ball’ jokes especially appeal to my goofball (ha) sense of humour. The new IBO kits look amazing, especially the Lupus and the new Graze variant (well, the green thing with the red eye that doesn’t have a proper name yet).

    • The joke about Nicolas Cage is devoid of any emotions crack me up…funny guys, more power and more bling, hyakushiki bling.

    • fun episode to watch, waiting for the HG custom packs ordered lots of HG kits on the list

    • can you show the bonus campaign parts?
      thanks

    • So, to reproduce the Team St Odessa we need 1 Gyancelot, 2 Force Impulse and 2 Northern Pods.
      And for the HGUC Hyaku Shiki the puke gold parts definitely need to be painted.

      • Actually, you just need one northern pod. If you paid attention, it separates into twos of everything so each Impulse can get their weapons and heads. It even does that in the anime, the Impulses combine their parts to form the pod.

    • bring back ryan. with just syd and todd there is too much geek and not enough nerd

    • Woo woo woo! Time to drop my NG Lunamaria Zaku and start watching another episode of Gunpla TV!

      The new HGBF releases have all got me hyped! (Already got the Panda’gguy in the backlog!) The Barbatos DX is a cool release but there are a HUGE amount of stickers for it, and I thought the Ex-Standard’s was bad…this is that combined with even more… >_<

      The new Draken III looks absolutely BEAST. I cannot wait to own it once I get money because that thing looks awesome, and those decals, while painful to look at, are all to be expected. Super expensive though, so I won't have one in a long time… 🙁

      I always loved the Hyaku Shiki, the sleek design, the awesome pilot (CHAR!!!), and the shiny gold. I have the MG 2.0 in my backlog, which I will get to work on once I get some good nippers, I expected the Zeta Revive for the 200th kit but I understand why the Hyaku Shiki got chosen instead. But once I saw it, I was super disappointed it wasn't coated, it certainly helps for painting, but it feels the the Hyaku Shiki is one of those MS that is meant to be covered in shiny reflective gold. Oh well. I feel like it's going to be P-Bandai, so no thanks. I already have the 2.0, so it's not that much of a biggie to me, but if I do ever get the revive, i'm painting it with custom colors for sure.

      The Northern pod is cool, but it certainly needs paint. If you do paint it though, painting it to get those impulses in the show would be quite cool. It's nice to know that you can build the FA Gundam without the frame covers, however i'm doing it anyway, as it just looks better and more unique. Plus, with your helpful tips, it should be fine now!

      I think the kits at the Gunpla Expo were Entry Grade kits, which were a grade of kit made in china, about the quality of a First Grade or an Advance Grade but at the same time they're worse in color separation.

      The 1/100 Kimaris is cool, I wouldn't mind having it although since I have the HG, I hope someone who doesn't have a Kimaris can get it. The Kimaris is a really cool suit, and it's love really deserves to spread.

    • Can’t wait to see the ZZ2 and Gyancelot!

    • I can´t believe Tod needs the instruction manual to transform that tiny thing, but thinks he doesn’t need one for the macross kit transformation…

      • oh and by the way, the RG sinanju has the exact opposite problem on the waist as the MG, on the MG the waist was to tight, in mine the waist si very, very loose, it cant hold the weight of the torso, it is so loose that if i grab the kit by the torso the legs and the waist will fall off, the hole kit has this problem, pieces fall off if you stare at it, but the waist and the head are terrible, plus, the stickers… I hate stickers… love the RG line but the stickers look terrible with time because dust accumulate on the edges.

    • Right now I’m building an SD Guntank, and my cat just decided that the sandpaper next to me was looking pretty comfy. I had to pull the sandpaper out from under her.

    • With the techonology that bandai possess…. i really want a hg tallgeese revive…

    • The gold they used on that Hyaku shiki is a definite step up from the previous models, Bandai continues to impress me further.

    • Man I can’t wait to see the psycho zaku finished and displayed in the next hobby show/expo. Also was kinda disappointed with the new build fighters ova, too much showing off and fanservice. No real new designs either

    • I had no interest in the that Thunderbolt MG beforehand but I think this episode may have changed my mind.

    • i have always loved the hyaku shiki but I’m gonna have to hold out for now. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great kit and I really want it but since I’m young I don’t have much money I’m just gonna buy the high grades I care about from cheapest to most expensive(I’ll get the more expensive ones once I get a job). Also works with the parts campaign because for every modern high grade I could buy I could buy 2 early high grades and get to parts sets.

      Dayum just realized after typing it that this is a whopper of a comment.

    • RG Build fighters hmm….RG Star Winning gundam when? 😛

    • Looking forward to those Balls! I hope they don’t have a blue color scheme…

    • Really tempted with the full armour. Had my doubts about the joints but syd’s pointers have comvinced me I need to get me a big beasty. Might wait for the psycho zaku, any news when the kit will be released? Does Syd think theres any way to paint or get different colour joint covers??? I know We cant get an mg kshatriya but sure the gundam has 4 sheilds paint it green and squint let you imagination do the rest…….

    • Kimaris please!

    • I have good use of the Kimaris. Lemme have it PLZ!

    • I can’t wait to get the new SD Barbatos!!!

    • Great show. Would love to get the full Armour but i feel i wouldn’t do it justice.

    • Awesome things to do for the force impulse, don’t like the “gold” color of the revive hyaku shiki, the fa gundam is too complicated for me (i think), and i hooe i can win that kimaris trooper..

      All in all great long episode.😆

    • My list for revived kits keeps growing.

    • All that crappy gold 🙁 Why do they continue to make kits with that color I do not understand

    • HG HG more HG plssss and that mustard gold lol

    • Dat Kimaris backpack tho.

    • Looking forward for the future releases… and the competiton u guys promised back on episode 200.

    • Hi Syd and Todd, I’m building my RG Sinanju and I am totally in love with how the suit looks !

    • Great video Syd and Todd, really like “the gundam marker” idea.

    • Hi! Really like those hgbf kits! Keep up the good work guys!

    • Wish I could buy more kits, but the Japanese Yen is getting stronger…

    • full armour looks sweeet

    • when’s the revive zeta coming out bandai? also want that sd barbatos

    • Finally I can log in!

      Anyways, Syd puts a ton of work into figuring out the best way to put on those sleeves. More science stuff like that, please

    • Great show. Thanks for the tips, will be trying it when I build my FA Thunderbolt Gundam ^_^

    • HGUC Type 100 (Hyakushiki)is ok for me

    • From observing your result, using the gundam marker gets a much better effect on the frame cover!

      And I finally got my Sinanju RG! Just gonna take my time and build it now 😀

    • Sorry, I’m not completely sold on the Thunderbolt vinyl arm and leg sleeves!

  • streum13 posted an update in the group Group logo of What are you building?What are you building? 7 years, 8 months ago

    Due to image size limitations here I post the links to the two parts of my WIP on the MG RX178 Gundam Mark II 2.0. They are in two albums on my Facebook that I made public to everyone.

    • Looks great dude! You can down sample your images with Photoshop or other program, the max image size I believe is 2.5 ~ 3MB.

    • Thanks. I never had the use for any photo programs.
      I only have Gimp because I didn’t want to pay Photoshop. But It so rare that I use it (maybe 4 or5 times in the past 10 years) that I always forgot how it works. I don’t want to go to long tutorials just to re size some images. So it’s much easy for me to post links to my photos and this way you…[Read more]
