First appearing in the 1982 manga “Plamo Kyoshiro,” comes the PF-78-1 Perfect Gundam. He may not be a looker but with all the accessories and an extraordinary range of motion through the shoulders, hips, and […]
Mecha Gaikotsu brings us figma Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan! Not only does this highly detailed figma come with accessories but also a massive horse! Come check it out for a ride.
Here’s one Cup Noodle that won’t be ready in just three minutes! Bandai has announced that it will be adding the quintessential form of cup ramen to its Best Hit Chronicle model line. Cup Noodle has been […]
Spring brought with it some beautiful sakura this year, and also a shiny pink Sakura Miku too! Dave checks out this glossy pink version of Miku and its accessories. Also he poses it with his FigmaPlus classroom […]
Miku kawaii!! Love having a poseable Miku figure who looks so lively, and the decorative bits are a really nice touch! Shame that the classroom doesn’t come with the kit, haha! XD
From Bandai comes a new Figure-rise Standard kit of the standard version of Amplified WarGreymon from the anime series “Digimon”! Join us as we take an in depth look at this stunning beast of a kit which you […]
This is an absolutely amazing looking kit, Wargreymon was my favourite design from the original Digimon series. This one looks like he’s been amped up by a factor of 10, so cool!! XD
Looks great, lower articulation, but if you compare it to a figure it’s fine. And you don’t get Agumon leftovers like on the Digvolving Spirits version. Hopefully they do Angewoman and lost of others. Alphamon already looks like a gundam.
This week we’re taking a look at classic “Naruto” goodness with Bandai’s Kizuna Relations Naruto Uzumaki figure! It’s fairly small but leaves a big impact with all of the effect parts from the Rasengan, as well […]
Wow, Naruto sure brings back memories for me! Great price for that figure, tough choice between 3 figures from that set or an Alter figure though. Guess it depends on which Alter figure, haha! XD
I’ve been a big fan of Naruto since the beginning. This figure perfectly recreates Naruto using the Rasengan and I love how they include the dynamic effects. Very nice. Of course I’m also watching Boruto, but I’m a little disappointed in that anime since it’s very different from the manga.
Wow. There will be also Jiraya and Tsunade figurearts.
Thank you for introduced this really awesome figure.
Keep up the good work guys. I’m rooting for you.
Naruto is my childhood and has all the feels for me. My favorite cosplay I did was Zabuza. Winning this would mean buying jiraiya and tsunade is a given.
the base is way too plain. first impression was like why block so much of the base, happy to know u can pick him up without any hard pulling or screwdriver.
can you pull out the other parts? such as the Rasengan effect or others? hope I can win this to find it out and if it can, then I can customize putting different effect, lol
A bit of a smorgasbord this week as we take a look at the latest Build Divers release the Gundam Jiyan Altron, the One Piece Grand Ship Collection Ark Maxim and another SD Cross Silhouette the almighty […]
i haven’t built any megami device kit before so i am exited to see it. i personaly liked the design of the SOL Rapto kit and can’t wait to for it to be released.
Holy cow I want that Astray No-Name. The Build Divers suits have me so excited. I can’t wait to see what else they have coming. Although I would love to have a model of that Tequila Gundam they had on the earlier part of the season.
I’m looking forward to the SDBD Zeromaru from the Cross Silhouette line. I’ve always been a fan of the BB Legends / Senshi line, which tends to have better articulation and accessories than the more standard SDs.
As far as Megami Device goes, the joints in Pretty Magical Girl look kind of gappy and strange. I could understand people getting it just for the effect parts — however I find Chaos Witch to be the more interesting of the two, as she comes with an AI hat and a variety of guns. So I ordered the Witch using my 2,000 yen store credit, so thanks guys!
The HG XXXG-01S2龍虎狼 Gundam Jiyan Altron gives hope that we might get an HG XXXG-01S2 Altron Gundam; or ideally some more RGs from Wing EW .
I’m waiting for the SDCS 00 series.
I’m really looking forward to that Astray No-Name. Apparently it’s been getting some flak from the fandom, but I think it’s a really nice-looking design.
You see I’ve been through the desert with an Astray with no name~
I am definitely getting two so I can make one with two capes, or maybe try to make it symetric, or maybe I will just give it to my gf, but I am definitely getting two.
hellgatex likes big bulku mobile suits and for contrary I do not like them. Sazabi is just too bulky for me 😀 And one of my favourite mobile suit is 00 Qan[T]
The stickets on the Jiyan Altron make my inner lazy model builder scream in a panic, but i guess this model is another step in the journey to get all the Gundam Wing kits in high-grade scale, cant wait for the Heavyarms.
ps. Im looking forward to next week to see the figurerise Kamen Rider Build, his current season has been one of the best in Rider history and i would love to see how the model compares to the s.h. figuarts version that i have :]
Hello, I’ve been building only high grades until now for budget reasons mostly.. but it’s been a long time since i wanted to try RG’s and MG’s.. Now i just can’t wait to see that RG Sazabi… This is one of the Kits i’d love to get in the RG line with the Sinanju, ’cause I think HG versions (even if decent) don’t do justice to the design and details of this Mobile Suit (and because the MG line is a little bit too expensive for me..) I’m currently finishing painting my 1/144 HG Gundam Bael (and next ones will be the 1/144 HG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina and the 1/144 HGUC NZ-666 Kshatriya ! Just need to wait for my 2 tones of metallic green spray cans…) and also i’m looking forward to get the RE100 Gundam Vidar.. or maybe.. if a miracle occurs, i’d love to get my hand on the MG RX-121 TR-1 Hazel Custom.. these kits are of the ones that just looks so badass.. Would love to build and paint them !!
I already got the other Megami Device magical girl but sadly its currently stuck in the private warehouse of the site as i hade a item who was reaching its storage deadline before the kit was releaced. So it’s stuck there untill i can get some more money.
Please build that Chaos & Pretty Magical Girl , I wanna see how it looks like. Also that SD Cross Silloute Zaku looks super cool , I wanna see more from that series. Please assemble all type of that SDCS when other kit are released.
I also think that the last Gunpla Builders series is too childish! So childish that grown up man cannot see it at all.
I’m old…I know that..old enough to see the first Gundam on tv. But I always liked all the Gundam series. I admit I had a few problems with ZZ Gundam. I didn’t like Reconguista for the plot. I liked all the “builders” series because they are fun and full of referencies.
But this last “Builders” series is stupid and boring.
Bandai failed in creating new MS that are just “variations”. They don’t have a real “personality”! Even the main Gundam it almost identical to the original one. The only kit that has it’s own personality and style is the Astray No-name! It’s the only MS I could buy from the series.
IMHO!
I agree with you there bro. I might not be as old as you, but I have see enough Gundams/shows/movies to concluded that Build Diver is just a mess. My primary issue is with the characters and narrative since it doesn’t feel organic. There is almost no growth with the main cast and the plot is weak at best. In life, when a group of people meet to conduct a certain task, the group will go through phases (Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing and Adjouring). When someone new get added into the mix, the cycle starts all over again. This is what I don’t see with the main cast. Everyone just fits a static role and everything works out. Heck, the only one I feel is a dynamic character is “Tsukasa Shiba”, the pilot of the Astray No-Name as he actually has a story arc and motivates. Like pilot and gundam, they have both personalities. Maybe he is on to something about the GBN being boring, lol.
Hi, I’m interested in lighting up some 1/144 scale gundam kits. Is there an easy to use light up kit that you would recommend for beginners? How do you do it?
I’m hoping for more Gundam Wing kits – although I’m really after the Gundam Deathscythe – Shenlong and Altron are a bit weird, and we had a ton of martial arts gundam kits courtesy of Build Fighters/Divers. Also I’ve recently cosplayed as Duo Maxwell, Deathscythe’s pilot, so you could say I’m a bit of a fan, hahah.
The Zaku looks pretty awesome! Might actually have to get it! As for the One Piece ship… yeah, sorry, I have no interest in it. Would probably buy it for the effects parts and sell the ship.
Yeah, when you keep going back to referencing music from the 1970s, you just can’t hide how old your tastes are, Todd XD That song is definitely older than I am! Maybe you should stop listening to old music and finish building Gojulas the Ogre instead. How many years has it been since you started making that?
Arc Maxim is very detailed! I am considering to add those one piece grand ship collection for a while now. Any recommendation on what ship should i get first? Thanks
Hey gang, how many times can someone win the 2000zeni, and if it will impact the 2000¥ won before? Also I’m seeing a number of double posts and multiple postings from folk, hope that doesn’t impact other people winning the online store credit. With the Altron kit, I’m very much a Marvel fan and keep thinking people are saying Ultron! Haha. Great video as always chaps.
Just ordered my RG Sazabi from HLJ, been constantly refreshing the website until it came out of order stop and I’m glad it paid off. Maybe next time when I see something I want I’ll try to remember to pre-order and save myself the hassle.
I seem to only like bigs kits this year and i havent seem those in stock at HLJ for ages ( Dendrobian & Nightingale) While I was waiting patiently for those never to restock I have however saved up enough for a Mechanicore kit.
As the Build Divers anime series trots along so does the HG releases for the series! This week we take a look at the Galbaldy Rebake as well as the Gundam 00 Diver Ace! Whether these kits are going to be ace kits […]
Sorry for you Lindsay. But it’s a problem that can be cured, is it? Hope your hands will recover.
I want to ask for advice. I don’t like to paint because it would cost more than using the included stickers. But the stickers’ color will be scratched away and reveal shiny metallic white after some time if I touch it regularly while posing. Can top-coat protect the stickers?
The censorship in One Piece is hilarious, but sad at the same time. It surprises me that they can get away with that. I heard Dragon Ball Super is being censored in my country (Spain) too, deleting scenes of direct punches and things like that. How can that make any sense?
Wow so much negativity surrounding the Jegan. I understand being that it is an older mobile suit design. but if you think of it as a base kit it is wonderful. I can wait to see what people come up with, after all the custom HG that people were making were insane.
Galbady Rebake looks pretty good although I was hoping it could be base upon Gusion Rebake instead with that mono eye. Yeah I also look forward to that SDCS kit, pretty good series indeed.
Probably gonna pick up the Diver/Ace combo pack at some point. I find the Diver itself mediocre in it’s base form, but with the Ace Unit I’m kind of a fan.
I’ve been waiting for an HGUC Sinanju Stein for a long time, since I didn’t want to pay MG prices for one — which is exactly what you have to do to get the HGBF Sinanju Weiss, or so it seems. I’d love to get one for a normal price. Or better yet, on sale.
That Gallbaldy would look neat if it weren’t for that duuuumb scissor weapon. If it were JUST a hammer + spike, it would be an insta-buy. (i mean yeah i could just glue it together but shut up)
Nice review, I am really tempted by the clear red piece that the Diver Ace includes, but since I already got the normal Diver, I am just going to go ahead and get the Diver Ace Unit.
I’m surprised that the Turntable L is very cheap! Mrhobby stuff is very good but usually you pay a lot for all that goodness! This time is very affordable.
I need to get a few of those new SD kits!!
I’m sorry to hear about ur hands Lyndsey that would suck to not be able to build, I hope they start feeling better soon.
And a live build would be awesome!!
Love the show!!
I find a lot of my gunpla fall apart after they’re built and I try to pose them. I noticed the same on this episode of gunpla tv. Is there any kits you remember that are built rock solid? Not gundam but I have a votoms brutish dog and it stays together great!!!!
The Galbaldy Rebake is pretty darn cool looking, but the weapons look a little unbalanced, or that is just me. Sorry to hear about your hands, but hey, now you don’t have to worry about your cats messing with the kits.
Very cool to have my 1st comment read out. A for effort on the pronunciation although it’s NZ ANGLIA not N ZANGLIA. My daughter had a huge laugh at that. Thank you for the link for the turn table. Just ordered it now. It’ll be fantastic for my model cars as well as my latest gunpla. Hope Bandai bring out a weapons pack similar to IBO. The Galbaldy is super hard core cool but would look even meaner with two of those huge hammers.
One Piece fan here!
I’m looking forward for Bandai to release HGAC altron gundam. crossfingers. lol
I will be getting the SDCS zaku. hoping for your review of this kit.
Nice review as always and get well soon lyndsey!
I still enjoy the show even if the featured kit is not to my taste as the enthusiasm is infectious, however if the viewers comments were incorporated into the show as a scrolling text bar at the bottom of the screen it would add a dimension that could counterbalance any reviews of kits that viewers found uninteresting. Thus engaging interest and preserving longevity of each episode.
I really like the Galbaldy Rebake and I am totally going to pick one up but I simply can’t wait for the Moon, No-Name, and of course 00 Higher than Sky to come out. Build Divers has given us some amazing kits
I prefer the big bulky mobile suits like the Galbaldy Rebake over the small lanky Gundams, and if they have big awesome weapons like the hammer pliers are always a bonus 😀 Might be getting one of these next month (even faster if i win the giveaway hehe)
It has been a while since I have watched Hobbylink.tv and I am still impressed by the quality of the videos and the new layout of the website. Anyways, I definitely would enjoy a live build of the RG Sazabi! Speaking of which, have you noticed that Bandai released the RG Sinanju on August 2016 and the RG Unicorn on August 2017. I have a feeling that they might release an RG Nu Gundam next August. One can wish right. Keep up the great work guys!
You are the winner of the Rem figure – please contact me via private message with your contact details and address. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Oh cool, I was worried the nutritional information was going to be mostly stickers.
