    Woah I forgot i have an account here haha!!

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years, 9 months ago

    As the year wraps up Bandai releases a slew of High Grades from Iron-Blooded Orphans so Syd recruits a wide-eyed Todd to help him out. The 1/100 Barbatos is all armored up and gets a review in this episode, as […]

    • man i bought tickets a month in advance and still got crappy seats

    • I haven’t bought a RE yet hope I win!!

    • Tod is back!!!!!!!

    • Oh man, episode 191 giveaway results are savage hahahaha. anyways,congrats to the winners!

    • If I could win that RE MK III, that would be greeeeaaaaat.

    • padawan Todd is lucky to build that ibo barbatos transport booster!

    • Well I am glad I at least won the hi mach, Sorry Syd and Ryan Get to see SW:TFA on monday 12/14/15 at the premiere also please bring the girls back because Todd seems like a nice guy but not a good on camera fit. For Ryan SW BF just practice and play the campaign to get better then smaller battles.

      • “Meet my unrealistically high expectations or get out!”
        – realrebelus, 2015

        No, but Todd’s doing just fine; there are only so many ways to talk about formed plastic.

    • gimme gimme

    • free GUNPLA!!!!!

    • Hope I get lucky

    • Syd & Ryan, Bros for life! Star Wars jacket x2 & same color as well. Hope next week’s episode won’t be too short as its only a day before Force Awaken and you two will be too hype to film. Enjoy the movie.

      The gimmick of 1/100 Barbatos’s gun is really unique.. first time seeing that. Worth the price for a NG kit with an inner frame.
      I have yet to try a PG but I would like my first PG to be a PG Ball. Please Bandai, make a PG Ball! Thanks.

      Yay for the first RE/100 giveaway on the show!

      • Have you ever built the MG Ball? (Either the Ver. Ka or the 08th MS Team Ver.) It absolutely blows most other MGs out of the water, even the most complicated modern ones, in terms of detail and color separation. It also makes for a great sturdy toy, and it’s super cheap to boot.

        A PG Ball, even just a scale-up of the MG, would be amazing.

    • Been wanting a mark 3 for a while

    • building 1/100 barbatos while watching the show, would love bandai for making more ibo related kits

    • Mark III Gundam baby

    • Alot of detail for a non-mg kit

    • Looking forward to getting my barbatos. P.s the secret to battle front is the konami code

    • Gundam Mark III looks good wanted it!!!!

    • I would love to win anything which i doubt i could. Unluckiest person alive. T.T

    • I love the design of Gusion.

    • I wish i would have looked into the long distance transportation booster before i bought my hg barbatoes but oh well i will probably still pick it up, it never hurts to have spare parts.

      also i cant wait for the review of the gusion its my favorite from the ibo series.

    • I’d really like to have that Mk-III.

      P.S. finally we see Ryan’s Falcon in the show again. 😛

    • I’m sold on the 1-100 Barbados, but I wonder what the “High Reesolution” 1-100 version will be.

    • I like how your hoodies are cut differently so the pics on the fabric aren’t in exactly the same spot. Would love to win that MK III.

    • this episode kind of felt like the older episodes, i liked it. also i think i’ve been convinced that i need to pick myself up a 1/100 barbatos

    • Well, I’ve ordered the banshee and the led (despite how bad I think I am at building). I was torn between the unicorn and the banshee. Made me went back to go watch the entire series again to gauge how I feel about each one.

      What finally pushed me over to the banshee is because I would have lusted over the p-Bandai final battle unicorn more if I got the unicorn.

      Thanks for the episode guys. Looking forward to the IBO kit reviews next week.

    • Han shot first! RE MK3 please.

    • Great Episode Guys, as always of course, never a doubt ;). I really hope I win that Mk. III that would be my first RE kit, I’ve been wanting to get them, but I’ve got too much backlog as is to justify buying them atm. Although I’d make an exception to that if Bandai would kindly bring out an RE/100 NZ-000 Queen Mansa (aka Quin Mantha)!!!

    • HI SYDDDDDDDDD

    • I can’t believe I won. Thanks fam!

    • My pg gundam rocks but it is intimidating when I put it together more so then my other builds but it still rocks out on my shelf lol. P.s. I got the winged gundam endless waltz.

    • Syd: “…nice and snug, bend my arm, line up my hand joint … some part comes off again, what a surprise! *sarcastic voice*”
      LOL, we still love you Barbatos, and MK III INCOMING!!! + Star Wars RuleZ

    • The mark 3 has some really nice looking colors and it would be awesome to get a re/100

    • Nice comparison between the 1/100 and the 1/144 Barbatos.RE/100 is definitely a scale I want to try to get my hands on.
      P.S.:Also am hyped for star wars episode 7 and may the force truly be awakened

    • Hey guys, great show! (and good luck to Todd) – my question is: If you had to choose between two Dark Side powers, would you choose Sith Lightning or Force Choke? Hope you guys enjoy yourselves in the movies.

    • The RE looks nice : 3

    • Tip for Ryan. People tend to think FPS games are all impulse but strategy is a vital part. Learn the map, learn the attack and defense patterns, and learn the sniper nests. Being one step ahead mentally beats having better reaction speed. It might be a game but The Art of War by Sun Tzu is applicable.

      Note: Wish to opt out of this giveaway, please choose another if my number comes up.

    • I can’t wait to get my kits I got MG Full Armor Unicorn, MG Banshee, MG Qan[T] I’m so excited

    • re100 mk3? yes please!

    • N O T I C E M E S E N P A I ! ! ! !

    • 1/100 barbatos @.@ so beautiful

    • Hell yes 2016 will be an amazing year for movies – Cap America 3, BvS, Deadpool movie ( this is gonna be awesome) and X-men Apocalypse..prbly more that I can`t remember right now, but either way …my eyes will burn out from going to the cinema too much lol

    • May the force give me that gundam

    • The force is with me… to win that Mk.III!

    • nice

    • that mkIII will need a paint job lol which i am more then happy to do.
      any news on the super fumina, i want one but am not able to order one!!!!!

    • So the odds are about 1/200 to win? Im kinda suprised there isent like thousands of comments on here? Is Gunpla not to big outside japan?

    • mk-ii is my favorite design but i’d like to have a go at that mk-iii! happy holidays guys!

      @ryan, what’s your play style on your star wars game? it might be helpful for advice from other gamers. one important thing though is to always use cover to your advantage and not rush forward and go rambo gung-ho lol always kills me in FPS games…

    • win win?

    • Can’t wait to see that Gusion built. It’s a pretty interesting design for a Gundam series mobile suit.

    • get todd to delete any star wars comment haha. MK-3. i dont think i can win again this yr. 🙂 or can i

    • Mk III PLEASE!!

    • The Guision looks pretty cool. Like an upgraded Grimoire (one of my favorite MS designs).

    • Free Gunpla is always great Gunpla
      Great show as always

    • Keep up the good work guys, love the show. P.S. Can’t wait to see the MSG Thunderbolt OVA.

    • Hope I win the RE, the beast

    • RE PLS

    • I’ll support until I get older! And that I can afgord to buy that time with my own money 🙂

    • Wow! I would really love to win that MK3

    • wouldn’t mind having that mk-III, much like anyone 😛

    • Hiho 😀 i cant wait for the Hi-Res Barbatos and Ted is a little bit scary 😀 like me …dont get between me and my gundam !! ^^ like too see him often in this great show of yours. keep up this nice work greeting from germany…with bradtwurst express 😀

    • The Gusion is supposed to use the same Gundam Frame as the Barbatos so it will be interesting to see how Bandai translate this aspect of the suit into the actual model. I would have thought we’d need to wait for the 1/100 Gusion scheduled for release next year, but we were all surprised by the inner frame of the 1/144 Barbatos.

    • I like the new gundam show so far plus the new gundam. How ever i still want to know when it come to starwars is who is that new sith lord is

    • C’mon luck!

      Great show again by the way!

    • I’m a fan of the RE/100 kits, already have the Mk iii & Dijeh & I will get like 10 of the Leo if it’s made but I’m just not feeling the 1/100 NG Barbatos . I love the design and the anime is fun too but the NG just doesn’t look sharp enough. I also noticed that it looked very weak and unbalanced.

    • great episode guys, looks like i got to get the Barbados 1/100 now

    • Re 100 would be awesome!

      Nice episode as always

    • The 1/100 Barbatos looks amazing. I might have to pick one up

    • Oh man xD I laughed out loud when Syd made the Office Space reference, while Todd sounded so satisfied “it’s Christmas already”.

    • i just got my 1/100 barbatos and it will get a lot heavy experiment specially the canon
      i like the price tag for a 1/100

    • Battlefront’s problem is that the damn shitheads at EA thought it’d be nice to not have local servers. They did it in beta and took it out at launch. I asked for a refund a few weeks back and to be honest, I’m glad I did. The beta was so much better. They ruined it

    • Can’t wait to see how the Long Transport Booster looks! Hopefully I can get one for myself soon.

    • I was actually looking to buy this kit. Thanks for all that you do guys. Much appreciated.

    • Darth Syd and Darth Ryan… that scene was way funnier than it should be; now I want that jacket. Also, that guy that got two PGs in one go, I’d like to be that guy one day.

    • That 1/100 Barbatos looks neat, but I’m way more excited for that Hi-res 4K Full HD version.

    • 90% of the people who play Battlefront have struggles and complaints with it.

      I am slowly getting better. The best thing is adjust your loadout and star cards to your play style. I like to go back-and-forth between a more aggressive run and gun style to playing that mid-back line support roll. I either use the EE-3 or the RT-97C primarily. As for star cards I prefer the Impact grenade, explosive shot and the jump pack. That jump pack is so useful to either get you into the thick of things or out of it.

    • I have my own insane Nightingale.
      I was expecting it to be big.. but NOT THAT BIG!

      Anyhow keep up the good work!

    • wake up to a new episode and there is already about a hundred comments. i love watching you guys and look forward to this. are you going back to having a schedule yet? love the hoodies by the way, and no spoiling it for us

    • YAY!!!! I actually won a pamphlet 😀

      Now let’s hope I get’s a Mk. III, it’d look awesome along side my starships 😛

    • Tod you are too young to build all those kits by yourself!, Don’t choke on those pieces young man!

    • How can you guys feel awkward about getting the same sweater? If I saw someone wear the same thing as me, I would give them the biggest high five and say they have great taste in fashion.

      Also, Todd… You’re hilarious. You being on the show was a great idea. XD

    • Hello again!! I won an Origin booklet! Finally I win something!
      Maybe it’s time for winning the Mark 3 too!

      Oh please! Don’t spoiler anything about SW next week. I’m the type of guy who waits as much as possible to see a movie! So internet will be very dangerous for me in the next weeks!

    • Skits in Gunpla TV? I like it!

      Also, “stand a good chance of winning” yet I still haven’t won anything… I blame it on the random number generator and will proceed to claim that it’s rigged!

    • “Always two there are. No more, no less. A Master and an Apprentice.”
      Well and recently we have Todd added to the team or maybe…

      Anyhow, good lord that huge amount of Gunpla boxes that comes in never seizes to amaze me.

    • Have you guys been watching IBO so far ? Opinions ?

      Syd did you see the fan-art theory that the Gundam Gusion actually hides a smaller Gundam inside ? A bit like the Virtue in Gundam OO, what do you think about it ?

    • I’ve always wanted an RE

    • Have never tried out an RE before but they look really nice

    • Good work guys. Hope I win.

    • Great episode guys. Mk-111 would be great to get. very excited for the STAR Wars movie this weekend. Hope you guys have fun.

    • I’m starting to really like the Barbatos. The 1/100 has a lot of potential.

    • Always a great episode ryan and syd, which is better to get the HG Barbatos or 1/100 barbatos? Hope you guys have fun watching star wars and as always have a great christmas 🙂

    • I wish I would win that RE for Christmas. Please santa syd!

    • Nice jackets. Where does one find such a jacket? Great episode guys! I’m stoked for the new Star Wars movie as well. I really am starting to dig the new IBO line.

    • there’s gonna be another version of gusion soon

    • I wan’t the MK III

    • hail lord ryan and lord syd

    • pg is the coolest.

    • MG is the coolest! What do you guys think about bandai pumping out 1/100 scale kits but they are not in/have potential for the MG line? And of course I’m hoping to win that Mk 3

    • …hi syd and ryan, speaking of star wars i think it will be available on 17th here in the philippines but dont worry i wont give spoilers after i watched it ahahhahahahaha… the barbatos looks amaizing but the gushion also catch my attention aftrr i wathced episode 11 of the ibo…

    • Can’t wait to watch Star Wars!!!

    • Hey guys, great episode. I have a feeling the hi-res kit(s?) may be to the 1/100 scale what the RGs are for the 1/144 scale. Adding a bit more detail and possibly quality as well. Looking forward to it. And Star Wars of course!

    • The 1/100 Barbatos looks real amazing, I can’t wait for the others in that line.
      That Mk III Gundam! Holy crap, that would be awesome to win!

    • Can’t wait for that HD Barbatos!

    • Good stuff!

    • WHOA That’s a lot of Gundam models to build.

    • And may the force be with you guys.

    • Now i am even more Hyped for my 1/100 Barbatos that my friend got me for christmas from you guys, I got him the Origin’s Char’s Zuku to complete his collection of Origin’s MS and as i am collecting IBO series right now. I didn’t notice it in your last two video’s but does the NG have a cockpit gimmick? I really like that about the MG series. And maybe if Santa is nice to me this year money wise i will be able to finally get me a PG MS, or maybe just let me win one of your giveaways, either way i will be happy. Great Show as usual, can’t wait for the next one, and the plot of Star wars is…. lol just kidding.

    • I hope you guys get the 1/100 Graze on the show. I also hope it’s as good as the Barbatos; you don’t get many grunt suits in 1/100 scale. The last good 1/100 scale grunts we got were back in the Gundam 00 lines.

    • Chewbacca is actually Lukes father. *spoiler*

    • I never know what to write down as a comment. :/

    • GP02! I want to see a 2.0 of it soooooo badly T_T

    • New episode, and my shipment from HLJ arrived… Today is a good day 🙂

    • Hi

    • nice IBO HG, thank you for the presentations

    • Very detailed review of the 1/100 barbatos. Thanks guys!

    • Will the PG Banshee be hard to find in the future? I’m on the fence about getting one..

    • Oh, I want one of those jacket/sweaters!

    • Great episode guys! I can’t wait to see all those IBO kits built.

    • I liked the off-shoot clips you had this episode that wasn’t just at the desk. You should do that stuff more often! Great episode and may the Force be with you!

    • The NG Barbatos is somewhat disappointing. All the more reason to wait for the the Hi-res version or the eventual MG. I want to get a PG soon but my problem is I want to paint it so that it will look its best which means more money to be spent 🙁

    • i did not expect the NG got the cannon gimmicks at all, that’s nice. I’m hyped for the V2 Ver.Ka and i am waiting for the next MG announcement from Bandai, i hope they will suprise us (in a good way). Nice show guys, love it.

    • ….. RE.Born… can wait for 4K Barbatos !!!

    • Those hoods…..

    • I’m glad you’re building the Gusion Syd. Can’t wait to see the 1/100 version. It’s gonna be one serious hunk of plastic.

    • Man that barbatos loooooks sweet specially dat long rifle/bazzoooka/cannon…

    • Oh wow, I hope Santa Claus has enough room in his sleigh to bring me as much Gunpla as you guys just got in! 😀

    • Hi syd seeing the 1/100 Barbatos just puts my 1/144 Barbatos being delivered to me to shame any way I would love to win the re100 Gundam mkIII

    • I honestly not quite understand Bandai politics on master grades. They put so much effort in producing Barbatos in pretty much any form… except MG. I bet making this new Hi-Resolutin Model will cost a lot more than MG because it’s basically action figure with attachable armor. It looks rather nice and everything, yet…

      And I’m still waiting for Build/Try Burning Gundam =|

    • well even if many of us don’t usually win gunpla here, we still got kits being delivered to us, which is just as much a reward. 😀

    • Great show. Can’t wait to see the IBO long-distance transportation booster review. Do you think that this will eventually be released in a 1/100 scale or will it only be a 1/144 HG release similar to the likes of the Meteor Unit from Gundam Seed and the GP03 Dendrobium because of its would be size?

      I know that I am a little late to the discussion but I would chose the 3.0 version of the RX78-2 simply because I love the level of detail on that kit and it also happens to be the first RX78-2 kit that I have built.

      Speaking of the RE 1/100, I’m hoping to see the Re 1/100 Kshatriya in 2016 but it would be awesome to win the RE Gundam MK-||| in the meantime ^_^

    • Freeeeeeeeedoooooooooom!

    • Really looking forward to the Gushion build on the next episode! ^^

    • Hail the Emperor!

    • Great ep guys i got the 1/100 barbatos cant wait to build it thinking im gonna mod it

    • Here’s to hoping Episode VII doesn’t suck. May the force be with us all….

    • The mark III was my first model kit and I really enjoyed it

    • This is the first time I’ve actually seen your show, and it’s really great! And the Star Wars hype is very real XD dig the hoodies! I recently got into gunpla a few months back, and I’m enjoying it a lot so far even on a tight budget XD I really can’t wait for the Gusion to come out! I like the bulky, turtle-frog(?) look to it! 😀

      The RE MkIII looks really cool. I bet it looks amazing in person!
      I haven’t heard of the REs before, but looking through the line they have, the Dijeh looks pretty amazing too!

    • Ravioli ravioli give me the gundamoli

    • Yes, I’ll take the Mk 3, thank you very much…

    • i would love to get that Mk III, i want one to paint using the titans color scheme 😀

    • Great episode Syd and Ryan, I wish Bandai could make a PG Barbatos, that would be AWEsome!

    • Cant wait for the release of star wars, but i cant wait for my PG Banshee to get here

    • I’ve heard nothing but good things about that Mk III kit. Someone here is going to get really lucky.

    • Mk III hmmm?

    • Merry Christmas Syd and Ryan! i greet you first, it means you have to give me a gift. send that MKIII kit to me. Ban gon wan she co, cah 🙂

    • Can’t believe you guys are almost at 200 episodes!

    • Wow, never seen the MK III before but it looks awsome! hope i could get a chance to see it in person; and what series or book is it from?

    • Great episode as always.

    • Cool episode! I have a question. BANDAI did an RE100 Nightingale. Does this mean that we could see an HGUC 1/144 scale Nightingale soon? Thank you Gunpla TV. May the force be with you. Always!

    • RE100 Kshatria would be awesome.

      Looking forward to the HD Barbatos, but wondering if there will be an MG kit.

      Love the PG kits. My Banshee is close, Unicorn is waiting in the wings. GIVE ME PG PHENEX!

    • My girlfriend just bought me a MG Gundam Mk-II 2.0 for my birthday! That Mk-III would be awesome next to my Mk-II

    • Ryan, didn’t order the LEDs for the PG Unicorn and Banshee because…wait for it…I got the LEDs when the were in stock before haha. Just needed to wait for the kits to restock. side note, too bad HLJ doesn’t do P-Bandai stuff, but I did also get the PG Full Armor Expansion for the Unicorn and the Armed Armour BS & VN for the Banshee.

    • Could Bandai have started selling kits at a worse time? So many kits, so little money.

      Either way, good show, and I was a bit on the ice about the Barbatos. But now, I say that looks pretty damn good.

    • Barbatos reminds me of Code Geass knightmare frames, this isn’t a bad thing.

      Digging the new anime too

    • I plan on ordering the 1/100 Barbatos, IBO Gusion+ Man Rodi within the next week or so. I might even start getting some MG kits including the Zaku II and Gouf Custom. What other MG kits would you suggest?

    • The High Res Barbatos is definitely on my list of kits to get in the future.

    • Yo! That RE Mk-III would be awesome! Been on the fence about getting that kit. Getting one free would solve that real quick!

    • Can’t wait for the High Res Barbatos!!

    • Todd looks like he’s nicely fitting in =)

    • The Barbatos looks good but I don’t like it and i don’t know why but for the peolple that want one i will say go for it.

      I hope to win the MK-III

    • I hope the High-Rez Barbatos isn’t just a recolored 1/100 scale one and is actually closer to a real MG.

    • OMG! Winning that MKIII will be so sweet! It will be the best Christmas present ever!

    • So is the High Resolution Barbatos simply going to be another plastic model using metallic-plated plastic? I was under the impression that the frame would be pre-assembled and utilize diecast metal along with plastic, and the armor would come on plated runners?

    • Another great episode. Loving IBO. Posted a pic on your Facebook page of my pg collection.

    • I will fulfil our destiny. I will finish what you started. I will show them…a painted RE 1/100 MKIII.

    • I can’t wait for the Hi-res Barbatos. I will pay pretty much anything for that beauty.

      Thanks HLJ for being awesome (and for carrying the sexy Sahelanthropus, mmm)!

    • i build the inner frame for Barbatos last saturday. still not sure if i want to build the armor around it, or keep it al terminator like

      i did give it a overal gunmetal paint job and the wires a silver color to make it stand out…. i want more of those inner frames 🙂 fun to build and fun to play with

    • Nice episode. May the force be with you always.

    • i don think i will get those re100

    • Hope I win mk 3

    • That inner frame really got me sold on the 1/100 Barbatos.

      Great episode again.

    • Another amazing episode guys!! I am going to see Episode 7 on the first showing on Thursday at 7:30! 😀 Can’t wait! Also I am loving the Barbatos! Happy Holidays Guys!!

    • A unique kit. I have placed an order for 4 Barbatos Kits for the kids in the house :). This will be their first build and we are eager to start building it. Happy Holidays.

    • Another great episode guys. For advice on Star Wars, use the Force Ryan.

    • I hope the Schwalbe Graze gets a Hi-Res kit. Thanks for the episode, and I hope I win that MkIII!

    • Thanks for selecting me as winner !!!

      Also thanks for having a look at the models I posted. I also added some more. Please check them out.

    • Dat Barbatos tho…

    • I love your show.

    • I want the 1/100 Barbatos to just for that gun :]

    • Nice show like always hommies, keep it up.

    • I wanna win sometime in my life time. Been watching since episode 1.

      Looking forward to the Barbados HD.

    • found this series a month ago and in that time i caught up to all 191 episodes! hope i can end the month by winning an awesome kit!

    • Another great episode guys. The Barbados looks amazing.

    • I hope I can win, awesome episode.

    • Loving the show, I’ll love to buy some kits but not enough money for that in this time of my life

    • Today is my birthday, I hope I can win the MkIII, cmon random number generator!

      Great episode as always guys! I’ll be watching Star wars too on first day, yeah!

    • Thanks Darth Syd and Darth Ryan for this episode, the kit I really like to have this coming christmas is the MG RX-78-2 Origin ver. hehe just posting. Advance Merry Christmas both of you and the rest of HLJ.

    • i wish i could have that 1/100 barbatos

    • Great episode i would love to see the Gusion side by side with the Barbatos to get an idea ho how big the Gusion 1/100

    • the hi-rez barbatos looks amazing but I hope its not “extra finish” like price range

    • Hi syd and ryan, cant wait for the upcoming IBO kits

    • Nice! I haven’t built an RE yet, this would be a great way to check them out.

    • If there gets to be too many sets to build Why not have everyone do a kit?

    • You aRE giving a RE? REally? I REplied only because I pREfer bigger kits. I would appREciate this as a pREsent!

    • I would like to win the prize that I don’t end up winning.

    • Awsome episode!
      The Barbatos looks good, but some how it just feel too naked to me.
      Maybe I’m more into the traditional armored mech type of models while Barbatos just too skeleton-ish.
      Anyway hope I can win one of those give aways!

    • i hope they will release a MG barbatos.. i know it will kick some a**..

    • Ohh, man… Barbatos kinda scream for a custom! Awesome episode! Going to watch Star Wars with my friends tomorrow. THE HYPE IS TOO HIGH!

    • Even after building 40 something MGs and a PG (Astray Red Frame) the Banshee I have on the way is still incredibly intimidating. There’s so much detail and work to it.

    • Mk III is one of my favorites since I read Shin MS Senki!

    • RE 1/100 Gundam MK III!

    • I hope I can make it through a week spoiler free before I get to see the Force Awakens, also, still waiting for that MG Super Fumina Bandai

    • . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Can I have the RE? 😀

    • do you think the HD version is like and MG?

      wow love to win even once. XD

    • Did I win????

    • Wow an RE kit?! Wish I could win that for Christmas haha

    • That barbatos is rather tempting! Just wish it had the mace though!

    • still 50/50 between these 1/100 and the hi res. I have to wait first.

    • Mark III HYPUU! SUPER FUMINA! IBO!

    • Thanks for another great show guys!

    • marking my christmas three! (mark 3)

    • Lol the sweaters. In regards to not sucking so much, the biggest problem my brother has when playing is he gets too close, i mean he just gets so close its utterly ridiculous you have a gun, a blaster rifle at that, stand back dont walk closer shoot from a distance thats what guns are for!.
      Anyways you guys are sooooooo lucky to work at Hlj, if i had the cash id be buying Gundam’s left right and center, but no matter how Much I want the PG’s if i dont have the money i cant get em. The 1/100 Barbatos looks really cartoonish, and Plasticky, i’ll just wait for an MG.

    • Lucky Todd, getting to build all that!

      IBO designs seem to emphasize function over form, so they’re more basic and more functional than previous kits. This is a huge contrast with what we saw in ‘Build Fighters,’ with all the over-the-top anime style, weapons, and effects. IBO even uses bullets and other physical weapons rather than beam weapons.

    • I really really want that RE Gundam Mk-III!!!!!

    • ONE PUNCH

    • 1/100 Barbatos looks awesome! Is the High resolution Barbatos at 1/100 scale too? Can’t wait for the 1/100 Gusion, looks massive! I want that RE Gundam Mk III!!!

    • Another great episode guys. The 1/100 Barbatos looks great might pick it up in the new year. I really want the PG Unicorn with the lighting set but will wait until I have more skill at the hobby as I’m still pretty noobish at it. Also I know you show newly released kits on the show but would it be possible for you to feature older kits. Thanks.

    • yeah

    • hey guys hope you like the new star wars as much as i did and a little hope if i win the model have a nice day guys

    • Fantastic episode!

  • My MG experiment.
  • sparta112 posted an update in the group Group logo of Gunpla TVGunpla TV 8 years, 9 months ago

    Hi syd Ryan do you guys have much information in regards to the frame arms girl kits? like will kotobukiya be doing reruns of the first kit?

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years, 10 months ago

    Ryan’s back! And he has his voice back! And he uses it to full effect talking about various things, not just Star Wars! Syd talks Star Wars as well but teams up with Todd to review the newest HG Revive kits as […]

    • Come on Shinn s Zaku

    • Nice episode!

      My favorite version of the RX-78-2 is actually The Origin version!

      The main reason is because….when the knee bends, the knee armor actually slides to protect it! In every other iteration of the kit, the knees are always exposed 😛

    • My favorite Master Grade RX-78-2 has got to be the one that dons Samurai armor: yes, it is the Shin Musha Gundam (based on ver. 1.5 RX-78-2). Though it is not exactly the RX-78-2, the color separation and complexity of the parts make for a beautiful kit. I fell in love with the suit when I first saw it in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2.

    • The Gm cardigan is so cool, definitely wouldn’t mind winning that

    • more RG kits please!!!!!!!!

    • Any chance I can get the mk 2 instead?

    • ZAKU DA

    • Great video like always. Can’t wait until exams are over so I can finish my PG Unicorn build :]

    • Power arms powerderedededrrrrrrdrrrr!!!!!!!! NEED MORE ARMS!

    • I actually only have the sd version of the rx-78-2 so I guess that one’s my favorite.

      PS. Shin Matsunaga Zaku is the best

    • Is it me or does the new guy sound like Bob Ross?
      If he said ‘happy little trees’ maybe the comparison would become clearer.

      Also Ryan did not have to say sorry in the beginning, I think we were all happy to hear his family is getting bigger. 🙂

      And the HG MK II revive looks really good with the weathering. I might try the same when my kit comes in. The 1/100 Barbatos looks nice but I think I will wait for the HD ver. to see the price difference and the color separation. I find painting in small accents to be difficult.

      I never built any MG RX-78 but if I did I would pick up the Origin because after building the MG V-dash ver. Ka I want to avoid any kit with a torso core fighter gimmick.
      And the MG RX-78 Origin does not have a core fighter in its torso.

    • Something, something, daaaarrrkk siidde…

    • Too much rx78 released by Bandai the currenty I like the mg rx78-2 ver 3.0

    • Thank you for reading my comment in this video it really made my day. I must admit however i skipped the Barbatos build because i like to discover how it all fits together while its in my hands.

      My favorite Rx78 is the 3.0 because i enjoy all the little details and color separation.

      keep up the good work!

    • super BARBATOS!!!!!!!!

    • Glad you guys going to do tutorials again. Will it cover basic tutorials only or advance stuff like Scribing and hight extensions on MG kits since they have inner frame.

    • why not a V2 gun dam live stream

    • Power Gn Kardishan….???

    • Comment! So u just have to do it here to win goodies??? Pick me! Hope to win next time if its a MG XD

    • man christmas has really bled me dry

    • Great episode , Don’t like the Barbatos design that much but its still a cool kit ,
      My Fav MG RX-78-2 has to be MG ver Ka love the decals and the look of it pretty much !

    • Gimme the Zaku ><

    • I’m in need of a Zaku !!!!!!

      Rx-78-2, only because I couldn’t choose a Zaku

    • My favorite RX-78 is the 3.0 because like the RG it’s got the colors and proportions of the 1/1 RX-78 statue that I quite like. And I want that Shin Matsunaga Zaku!

    • OH, FREE KITS! 😀

    • I’m loving the the MK II revive. Can’t wait to get my hands on both!

    • SIEG ZEON

    • RX-78 3.0 is the best version so far. It’s the most detailed and has the most gimmick of all versions.

    • maybe for the 200 have ryan finish the falcon

    • I haven’t built any of the MG RX-78-2s, but my favorite one, based on looks, is the 3.0. I love how it looks like an actual machine that could fight in battle rather than just a replica of a fictional mecha.

    • yes, new episode! welcome back Ryan. been waiting for the barbatos build. i must say, the details on the 1/100 Barbatos is great.

      to answer your survey, i myself prefer the MG rx-78-2 ver 3.0 due to the excellent detail, overall proportions, and gimmicks. the others look too cartoon-ish for me.on the other hand, the new MG rx-78-02 orgin version has some pretty cool new gimmicks and those included effect parts for the weapons. it was a great contender but the ver 3.0 won me over with the proportions and likeness to the 1:1 gundam on display at Diver City. i hope one day i get to see it in person and up close.

    • 3.0 is the RX 78-2 to rule them all but the origin and that stomach bend and those effect parts are very nice.

      • The shoulders are pretty nice, too. The v3’s shoulders are easy to knock loose and a pain to reseat without taking off the arm.

    • I’ve been following you guys on youtube, and then found out I could get kits if I started watching you guys here. That aside, I can’t decide between the HG Revive Mk. II or the RG version. ><

      Also, am I the only one who wants to win the hi-mock? You should've probably done the Zaku last for more impact.

    • The MG Shin Musha Gundam is by faaaaar the best version of the MG RX-78-2, why? Well look at it xD Its a gigantic bad ass shogun that murders every thing in its way. You just cant beat that

    • I’m new to gunpla my very first kit and only one is the rg freedom strike. Perhaps It was a bit to advanced for me without the proper tools and I messed up on a couple things. Happy to see these new kits are easier to build and will pick up a couple more in the near future.

    • Great show guys, My favorite Rx-78 MG is probably the 2.0 given it’s detail and better movement

    • The Gundam mk.II AEUG and Titans looks pretty good, and that barbatos looks awesome can’t wait to see the hi res model coming out soon.

      Anwyays ryan and syd also todd, keep up the good work and I’ll be looking forward to your next video. I wonder what are you going to do for episode 200? 😛

    • Wouldn’t mind getting any of those kits, but the Shin Matsunaga zaku and Hi-Mock are really appealing.

    • Merry Christmas everybody! enjoy the last month of this year! 😀

    • Let me win 🙂

    • Great video as always and i think the best mg rx 78 2 is the 3.0 because it share a lot of similarities with the rg who i think is the best line.however the origin version looks very nice and i would like to build both of them since I didn’t build them

    • There needs to be more white zakus, they just look way cooler!

      • You couldn’t be more right, here is my idea

        A White Zuku Force like the Black tri stars, maybe a group of zuku in white that are spec ops for battles on polar and moon surfaces. LPBS, Lunar Polar Bear Squadron. Consisting of a 1 Sniper Zuku, 3 Mid Range Combat Zuku, 2 Close Range Combat Zuku, 1 Demolition ( bookza and Rockets ) Zuku, 1 Heavy Artillery Zuku (weapons like Heavyarms) and then a Sazabi inspired MS to lead them. Color Scheme Mostly White with Silver/Grey Frames, accents of black, grey, and blue. With a Black Polar Bear Head Logo with a white Cresent moon scar over it eye for the emblem.

    • Gotta be RX-78 2.0 for me. there’s no doubt that it looks more cartoonish than most of the other mg RX-78 variations, but i’m pretty sure its also one of the most accurate representations of how the rx-78 originally looked when it first appeared way back when; that’s why 2.0 gets my vote

    • Great video like always.

    • i think the mg Rx 78-2 that i prefer the most il the 3.0, it’s desin gime me a more “real machine” vibe maybe for the more colors of plastic in the armor

    • got my mkII’s on order. i have had big trouble trying to get hold of a super fumina. wouldnt mind that gm cardigan.

    • RX-78-2 ver 3.0 is my favorite, the Origin ver. is great but the knee armor is a big turn off for me, I wonder why not a lot of people mention its awkward articulation.

    • can i win again? please…

    • Great show and Barbatos build by Syd! Also looks like Todd’s getting used to the flow of things. Welcome back to Ryan also, glad he is better.

      As for the RX-78-2, it surely has to be the Ver 3.0. Being lucky enough to have visited the Big Gundam in Odaiba, the Ver 3.0 is pretty much the replica of that great statue on my shelf! Although I welcome the new RE100 line – what I wouldn’t give for another 3.0!

    • i agree syd,”shin matsunaga” is probably the best among of all zaku.
      SIEG ZEON

    • My favourite Zaku!

    • I love your channel hope to win the that zaku.

    • I’m so unlucky in life that I will win the Hi-mock for sure! I hate the hi-mock! So….ordinary in design.

      My favourite Rx78 is the Ver.Ka. In those years I had no idea that “mecha design” was a real job! I drew robots for my entire childhood just for fun. The Ver.Ka was the first time I realize how much complex and interesting can be to draw sci-fi stuff and also make it believable! The Ver.ka was the first Gundam to look believable, bulky, squarish, full of details, but also powerful like a real war machine!
      No strange spikes, or strange useless piece of metal everywhere on its body! Hajime Katoki is awesome!

    • With over 30 years of experience I bet a good number of viewers wouldn’t mind hearing about more tips from Todd. And I couldn’t be any more excited for the Revive MK-II Titans; by far a great improvement and a glimpse of what I could look forward to in the future.

    • Hey guys! I just finished building the 1/100 Barbatos I had ordered from you. Great kit but the shoulder armor on mine seems way too easy to pop off.

    • Hi-mock is one of my favourite kits, real fun and simple. Great poser and stuff! Usually recommends it to beginners. 🙂 Recently built the Zaku kit, I was a bit disappointed with it. :/ Doesn’t pose well imo… oh well! 😀

      Cardigan is also super cool, would really love to own that, looks so cool with the arms and shields.

    • My favorite MG of RX-78-2 is the Ver 3.0, because it has a very challenging build and also has a pro vibe when you finish the kit. I’m also looking forward for Gunpla Tutorials again from you guys, it’s been a while. Sieg Zeon!

    • …the revive mk- ll looks amazing, either off the two would be a nice choice for building a kit… the barbatos on the otherhand looks soo good for a non grade kit… forcthe prizes i hope i could win the shin matsunaga zaku hahahahaha merry xmas guys

    • My favorite RX-78-2 is the 2.0 ver. because of the clean and very cartoony look. Like it came from the anime.

    • Good job on the MKII Todd. They look amazing, and the Barbatos is fantastic. Need to order asap, my hand has been itching to build some GunPla.

    • P O W E R E D G M C A R D I G A N ! ! ! !

    • The Mk.2 was always one of my favorite designs as far as Gundam type suits go. Though I like alot of them the mk.2 always stood out to me. Though still nothing beats the Zaku II. Gimme that Matsunaga!

    • A lot of people are building the Gundam’s inner frames first. Do you think Bandai has finally wised up to this? Or do you think the Barbatos is special and this isn’t the start of a new trend?

    • I really like both of the MKII sets. i have both as MG next to each other and i like both of them very much.

      And i have the Barbatos on the way. i cant wait to build him

    • great show again guys. i’m glad todd is joining you.
      as for master grade 78-2’s i prefer the detail on the mk2.
      and i would love the powered GM cardigan. and i cant wait for the HD barbados. waiting to buy one till i see the detail on that

    • My favorite is RX-78-2 3.0. Love the details. =P

    • Wow a nice long show, thanks guys. Also 200 hype

    • i cant wait for revive gyan <3333

    • Favorite RX-78? In MG form, it’d have to be the old RX-78-4 or -5, whichever had the giant gatling cannon. Because yeah it was overdesigned, but it had the giant gatling cannon. You don’t bet against a giant gatling cannon. The OYW version probably comes in a distant second.

      Any idea when the new Frame Robo kits will come in? I’m hoping to make Christmas gifts out of them.

    • Oh man my favorite RX78-2 would be 3.0. The look it has, the color separation, how it looks just oob, and I put in the yellow LED and when it lights up its so cool! Also, winning the powered gm cardigan I could modify it with my super fumina and have HYPER FUMINA!!!!!

    • My favorite RX-78-2 is the original 1995 MG coz it was the first kit I ever built that my older brother got me in 1999… when I was 7, which spawned my love for everything Gundam. I still have it to this day 😀

      Oh, I almost forgot. ZAKU!!!!!!!!

    • That GM cardigan or zaku would be great to add to my collection

    • My fav RX-78 MG is the 3.0. I’m a fan of kits that have a realistic design, and the 3.0 has great panel lines, panel colour separation and proportions. The stickers/decals also add a lot to that realistic look.

      Would love to see more 3.0s, make more of the RGs into MGs!

    • The OYW version was my favorite because of the awesome panel lines, but the new Origin version has won me over with it’s more real militaristic look instead of the cartoony 2.0 look.

    • Todd did a great job

    • I really would like to win this awesome Zaku.

      Do you think we will ever get 1/100 Graze Kai?I love this design.And also,is there any news on 1/100 MS option set?

    • Love IOB Anime I would love the super fumai’s Powered GM cardigian

    • ugh you guys are giving away my favorite zeon pilot’s suit ;-; I can only dream of winning that.

      But even then I enjoyed seeing the revived MK II’s.

    • Should I get the 1/100 Barbatos not that a Hi-Res is coming out? By the time the Hi-Res comes out, maybe the MG will come out… AHHH MY WALLET.
      Hope I win that Zaku, it’ll be my first ZAKU!

    • My favorite RX 78-2 would be the 3.0, first because of how bad ass it looks compared to the other kits and just because it has a core fighter which makes it better than that origin ver. I love the foot articulation of the origin ver but without that core fighter, even with the superb articulation, I’d have to go with the ver 3.0! 😀 I hope I win one of those posters or that Shin Matsunaga Zaku!! Here’s to hoping for a birthday miracle!!! Love your show guys!

    • My favorite RX-78-2 is the one year war version, it just looks awesome with the different shades of plastic, the panellines and the dry-transfers. though it didn’t have a core fighter so thus so far I haven’t been able to build any version of the core fighter but somewhere in the future I’m planning to get the 3.0 so maybe if I have to believe syd my OYW has to give up his spot as my favorite rx-78.
      anyway great episode guys can’t wait til the next one!

    • I’ll take the GM cardigan.

    • Hi guys! Can you kindly give us a date on when will be the holliday sale so i/we can save money for it. Thanks! Nice ep as always.

    • Haven’t built a RX-78-2 MG (sucks to be me, due to time constraints and a lot of models that still need to be built), but I can say that I like the ver2.0 just because I like how it looks compared to the others and would build it when given the chance.

    • I hope if im lucky i could win the power GM carigen i’ve been wanting to get that kit for the longest time. Plus I cant wait for Star wars episode 7 I hope its awesome like episode three was.

    • Hi syd I would Love to win that hi mock or shin matsunaga Zaku as they both look great

    • My Favorite RX-78 is the OYW 1.5 version. It’s got a decent amount of posability, and I love the panel lines on it.

      Also Syd, Johnny Ridden Zaku is best Zaku.

    • And Ryan forgot to mention that the only way to win one of the HobbyLink.TV giveaways you have to have a registered account at HobbyLink.TV.

      I would be glad if i won either the Shin Matsunaga Zaku or the custom GM from Build Fighters Try.

      Btw will there be a HobbyLink.TV application made for use on android or iOS devices?

    • I don’t know what it is about it, but I really hate the RX-78 design, the mark 2 is good though.

    • Powered GM Cardigan please!

    • Gundam barbatos is awesome.. but it is still no match for zaku

    • Wow episode 200 coming up. Congratulations on a successful series. Happy to say I’ve been watching since the start and haven’t missed one.

      I do have a question for you guys: Is there a way to get spare Bandai part runners outside of Japan? My PG Strike Freedom’s wing peg broke and I need to replace it. I’ve tried to pin it but there’s just too much stress on the part to hold. It’s my favorite kit and looks so sad with out it’s wing.

      Thanks again for all the good shows, and would love any of this week’s kits to show up under my Christmas tree.

      RodgerNSF

    • Rx 78 2 ver 3.0 is the best so far I think because of its gimmicks and machine like detailed. Compare to others

    • That frame was really impressive!
      Would love to get the Shin Matsunaga Zaku!

    • “Keep your pants on, and your nippers ready” should be on a HLJ T-shirt! I’d buy that and wear it proudly.

    • I cant decide to get the Titan MKII Revive or RG Titan MKII, if the revive got the test parts like the RG it will be perfect. I like Todd, hí way ò review í very great, hope to sê more of him with you guys.

      • I haven’t really build the revive MK II and not planning to get one 🙂 But, I don’t think you’ll go wrong with the RG MK II 🙂

    • I prefer the RG, but I can understand people who like a simpler, cleaner look preferring the Revive.

    • Nice episode guys, waw has it been that long? Lol make me feel old into the hobby since once been watching since episode 4 I think. Well cheers and here’s to win a kit

    • Oh my goodness gracious, it didn’t work the first time I asked for a kit, BUT OH MY GOD PLEASE LET ME WIN MATSUNAGA-SENPAI’S ZAKU 😀

      Nice episode guys, the new Gundam Mk-II looks really impressive for a HG kit.

    • Wow a Shin Matsunaga Zaku, cool! A Hi-mock as well , sweet! I definetly need a zaku in my collection and definitely need more grunt suits, all I have are gundam type :).

      Anyway good to see you Ryan glad that you are feeling better and nice build of the 1/100 Barbatos Syd. Keep up the good work everyone and may the force be with you!

    • Ive only ever built an rx78, Bit would build the rx78 revive if i had to pick a mg kit. Can i hit to birds with stone and have a chance to win one of those kits too?

    • I would like to win the Zaku

    • My favorite RX 78-2 MG is the ver Ka. Just love that detail.

    • Probably the MG RX-78-2 3.0 Gundam Clear and look at all those inner frame :). Oh, and hope I get that Zaku !!

    • Great show

    • I’m truly loving IBO! The barbatos is now one of my top five favorite mobile suits! Keep up the good work guys!

    • I have never owned a Zaku kit, would gladly give Matsunaga’s a loving home.

      Keep up the good work with the double length episodes guys.

    • oh Syd why you still feel the burn of the RG astray crouch build XD

    • It’s amazing the difference a little bit of weathering can make to a kit! The Hi-Mock is still one of my favourite kits. It’s just so simple and fun! The IBO kits are giving it a run for it’s money though. Can’t wait to see what that new HG Barbatos looks like!

    • That barbatos looks real nice! Hopefully I can grab one of those prizes ;D

    • So tempting to order that PG + LED on restock. I need better skills. Don’t want to waste a PG.

      Super Fumina 😉

    • Can’t wait for episode 200!!

    • gm cardigan because whats overpowered

    • Freeeeeeeeedoooooooooom!

    • Hail the Emperor!

    • Great episode as always and I have always liked shin matsunaga’s mobile suit design and colors so I’d be pretty stoked to win that one

    • I’m waiting for the Hi-Res Barbatos. the 1/100 is not enough.

    • This Zaku sure would love to have that Zaku! Here’s hoping!

    • I like the MG RX-78-2 Ver. 3.0 because it looks like the Gundam statue that stands in Gundam Front Tokyo.

    • Hoping for GM Cardigan

    • Sweet deal! I have made my decision I am definitely going to buy one of those 1/100 scale kits through hlj.com. Thank you Syd for showing this video.

    • My favorite RX 78-2 would be the 3.0 version. I don’t like the minor changes/additions in the Origin version and 2.0 is lesser than 3.0.

    • The 1/100 Barbatos is definitely cool! Love that you build the inner frame first before putting on all the armor.

    • Good show guys! Now hook me up!

    • the hi mock looks like it would be great with a lot of customization. its like a blank slate

    • Ah man, what a nice late birthday present, a Gunpla TV episode!

      Love the look of that 1/100 Barbatos, and I can’t wait for the 1/100 Graze. I was actually just putting the finishing touches on the Graze that I got from the /r/Gunpla secret santa while I was watching!

      Ironically enough though, just after my birthday is the one time I don’t want to win one of the Syd edition kits! I’m already gonna struggle to display the MG Turn X and MG Hi-Nu Ver. Ka that I got and an extra kit won’t help that!

    • Welcome back Ryan. 🙂
      The review of the 1/100 Barbatos is making me wanting one for myself. Liked the looks of that frame. It might look nice in just frame mode + minor detailing paint.

      I have the rx-78-2 3.0 in my backlog. I was thinking that it was the latest one at that point of time and I don’t have any MG RX-78-2 yet. I like how it looks like the RG version but easier to assemble (I think).
      Then, after seeing the RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. One Year War 0079 on display in a gundam museum here, I bought that one too. I like the colour, panel lines and the open hatches of the kit.

      Now, I am thinking whether I should get the Origin too.

      Would love to get any of the free kits 🙂

    • I really hope the Barbatos meets my expectations, I am more interested in how the frame is built that’s the real impact this kit is trying to do. A little sticker heavy, but seeing the price point I cant really complain; now all i have to do is wait for it to arrive. And I hope I can win that sweet Shin Matsunaga Zaku II. HLJ and Gunpla TV for life.

    • Cannot comment on the Rx-78, as I do not have one. I have been eyeballing the 3.0 version.

      Not sure if I should wait for the MG Barbatos, if it happens or not. That HG looks fantastic though.

    • Hi Syd and welcome back Ryan
      Cant wait for more Iron Blood Orphans Kits to come out

    • Ordered my PG Unicorn and PG Banshee!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!

    • My favorite Rx 78-2 is the OYW version. I has great detail for paneling and great articulation. But the main reason is There are a variety of conversion kits for it.

    • The mg Shin Matsunaga zaku was a good build and the decals were awesome. The mg rx-78-2 v3 was great, too, with all its decals.

    • I want the GM Cardigan, it’ll look great going up against the Super Zaku F2000!

    • Glad to hear the Tutorial videos are on the way. By the way what side cutters do you recommend the most?

    • Videos are getting longer, that is a good thing! Enjoying gunplatv all the more longer.

    • Star Wars HYPE is REAL!

    • I think the RX-78-2 3.0 is the most bang-for-the-buck Gundam there is.

    • O snap thanks guys, I won!!!!! I can’t comment on the rx78 haven’t had the chance to get one, but always wanted the 3.0

    • Todd did a great job again, even took the time to apply weathering. You mentioned it be being easily removed, won’t a matt spray work to set it?

      Without a doubt! Version Ka. is my favorite! Katoki really know how to pimp those gunplas up!

      (I don’t see my comment that I made yesterday :O? Either way, cut that comment off and make this eligible cause I forgot to comment about my FAVORITE RX 78-2.)

    • Great Episode guys! Looking forward to receiving my Barbatos!

    • High Mock the official bootleg gundam lol

    • free kits i want!

    • Another great episode guys and how can I get a job with you guys because you guys look like you are having so much fun! Has Bandai announced the another run of the HG Neo Zeong? I only heard rumors.

    • So many comments. No wonder i will never win 🙁

    • I just finished build fighters try yesterday! GM cardigan has a great color scheme and cool gimmicks. Looking forward to that V2 video!

    • You forgot to put the blue elbow parts on the Barbatos. lol

    • Oh man that was such a cool 1/100 build I’m starting my first mg the deathscythe. I can’t wait to get me hands on the barbatos though. And just got 4 rg’s from you guys. Thanks for the great show.

    • The new MK-II’s look super and the new Barbatos… WOW!

    • Sweet! looking forward to those new tutorials guys!

    • OOo, I like to win one of them

    • My favorite version of the MG Rx-78-2 is the 2.0, I think that is the one that can connect with the G Fighter.

    • Sieg Zeon!

    • Now I want a Mk-II Titans! (And that Hi-Mock)

    • Bought the Hyakuren and Hyakuri from you guys recently! I might just buy more :D!

    • My favorite is the Master Grade RX-78-2 Gundam (Ver. One Year War). It is because it is the first Master Grade that I ever owned.

    • Yessssssssssss

    • Barbatos looks awesome! Espicially that inner frame, very unique.
      That Matsunaga Zaku would make a great addition to my Zakus 🙂

    • My favorite is the RX 78-2 One Year War, but sadly I’ve yet to build one. I love the old school essence mixed with the modern look with more panel lines.

    • I’m so excited for Star Wars too I can’t blame you guys. Now I really can’t wait for my 1/100 Barbatos.

    • I would love to turn that Hi-mock into power armor from fallout 4

    • I’ll take that zaku please… I don’t have enough… I honestly like the MG RX 78 3.0 ver because of its proportions and, in my opinion, more realistic look…

    • So the Barbatos is considered a NG then? But all it need now is that big weapon. 🙂

    • Nice! Loving the barb

    • That 1/100 Barbatos looks solid! But I guess I’ll wait for the High resolution Barbatos, is that 1/100 scale or is it 1/60? Can’t wait for the Gusion! It Looks massive!

    • Damn, RE 1/100 Gundam Barbatos It’s So cool!!

    • For MG RX-78-2, I really love the faded color and panel line of the One Year War ver. It has it’s own charm that saying “I’m different from these guys” comparing to the other rx-78-2 MG

    • hey guys great ep. my fav mg rx78 i think is the origin ver. cause of the weapons and lack of core fighter just dont care much for it.

    • My Fave RX-78-2 is the Origin. Why….? Ahhhh. The Real Answer is Why Not? 🙂

    • That Zaku is really cool. Enjoyed building the MG RX-78 3.0 and can not wait to build the Origin kit.

    • I’m not sure where you heard that but the Real Grade line is still going strong and Bandai continues to put out more models regularly.

    • For MG RX 78, I think I would probably prefer the ver 3.0 over the others, because I like its sharp, more realistic looks. On the other hand, Ver Origin, or 2.0 looks more like a toy for kids.

      I hope I win <3 <3 <3

    • I personally like the RX-78 ver 2.0 because it has a more realistic, tough and buff looking than other versions.

    • Another great ep gents. Digging the 1/100 Barbatos. Would definitely pick that up. The GM Cardigan deserves an MG. Always been a fan of GM type suits.

    • I say that 3.0 is the best looking. I love the realistic design, similar to the Ver.Ka and OYW gundam. The combination of the colour separation and proportions on the 3.0 puts it over the top of the others.

    • Awesome Show, even though i am new to your show, i came in as the 49,000 subscriber to your YouTube Channel on episode 189, Congrats, and didn’t pay attention when you said post to your blog page instead of your youtube channel, so i missed out of the Triple X giveaway =(. i was wondering if you could point me in which direction of your tutorials that you have already done since i have somewhat new to the Gunpla scene, i would like to watch them. And with the new Tutorial Videos you are doing can you do a Video about what supplies are most commonly used for Tools, Paints, and Such. Thanks for these Videos and you now have a weekly viewer.

      • Welcome aboard! It’s great to have you hear. To watch the older tutorials that are mixed in with our regular Gunpla episodes you can click on the Gunpla TV tab at the top of the page and you’ll be taken to a list of all our episodes. Each episode title should have a description of the episode and tutorials so by browsing the episode titles it shouldn’t take you long to find a tutorial you are looking for.

        • Thank you, I will be spending the next few days going over your Video logs as in my wife just had surgery today and in-between being her servant i plan on doing some Gunpla and Gunpla Research. I have narrowed it down to three series that i want to collect from as a majority, those being Iron Blood Orphans, Build Fighters, and Seed. My question is do you have a section on your site, or know of a site that can give me a list of Mobile Suits from those Series and if they have or do not have a corresponding Gunpla Kit?

          Also the Powered Carriagen (probably spelled that wrong) was an Awesome kit, it was one of my first kits i built. But that White Zuku gave me a crazy idea, which i posted around post 53ish as a reply to someone elses comment. I want to do a Custom Zuku team for polar spec ops. Some Weapon Exchanging and Full Paint, but i will file that idea away for later after i get some good practice in, say after i have built my 30th gunpla i will start my LPBS (Lunar Polar Bear Squadron of zukus =) )

          Thanks for responding, Keep up the awesomeness

    • Such a judgmental look building up @~10:00…

    • SUPER FUMINA!

    • My favorite MG RX-78-2 is definitely the OYW version. The colors, all the panel lines and the cool openable hatches on the legs make it my favorite!

    • My favorite Rx-78 MG is the gundam origin, loving that small mounted canon on the shoulder. Hope I can win the white Zaku 2. Awesome videos as always.

    • I would love to win any of the prizes this week

    • Hah!! it isn’t!
      Now I’m last!!!
      Wahahahahaha!!

    • So many cool kits are coming out, but I’m too busy with college and already have 3 kits in my backlog. I wouldn’t mind getting something that’s already built though 😛

    • Can’t wait for winter break, been pretty busy with college. Need to start building again. Got 27 kits on backlog. Love the show guys! Amazing customer service!

    • Great episode as always. Todd is like the chillest man in the company.

    • Great episode! I do love the Mk II, but I already have the Titans version of the RG. Maybe I’ll pick up the AEUG version of the Revive? Even though it’s not cold here in the midwestern US (it’s been as warm as 60F recently) I would still love a nice Cardigan for Christmas!

    • My favorite MG RX-78-2 has to be the 3.0! I love how real it looks with all the separated armor panels and chrome/silver foil stickers. It’s so cool.

      Bandai should make a Super Fumina 3.0! 😀

    • Two weeks ago or so I lost my account, WordPress would not allow me to reset my password and so I also lost the opportunity for those sweet XXXs ;_; But now I’m back, and so is the LED set for the PG Unicorn. Too bad I would literally have to pay an eye to get that kit on my shelf; maybe in the far future… on day… Although, that shelf of mine has a free spot that the GM Cardingan could take.

      But in the end, winning is not as important as avoiding spoilers from that trailer you two spoke of. That scared me, don’t do it again, please!

    • So here’s my question: How do the Revive Mk-II’s measure up against the HGBF version?

      Should you choose my comment, Powered GM Cardigan, please. Those arms are awesome.

    • looking forward to you doing your good old tutorial videos again and my own favourite of the rx 72 was either the RG or MG.

    • Enjoying the star wars banter lads. Love that 7/1l chart, great giveaway instead of a happy meal.

    • I’ll see you on battlefront ryan!!

    • It’s my first time watching you show and is great i will watch the rest of the videos

    • SUPER FUM…. never mind, The RX-178 MK-2 still one of my favorites. Oh and come on shin matsunaga custom.

    • Might consider some hg mk2s to go along with the titans rg.

    • RAISE YOUR FLAGS THE GUSION IS OUT. Was really hyped for the 1/100 Gusion and then i was the pilot and I’m like…alright m8. But anyhow my favorite RX-78-2 would be the One Year War version since its the only one that has a pinkish red instead of just full on red lol.

    • cardigan. long live gunpla tv and merry christmas!

    • That hg shin matsunaga would look great with my mg!

    • Awesome show once again, on to ep. 200 and beyond!

    • Hi guys, nice episode as usual. Quick question, did Ryan finish his Falcon before Episode 7 releases? I’m really looking forward to seeing it on the show. Also, the Barbatos frame looks awesome. I wish Bandai would do that with more kits. And out of all the Master Grade RX78-2 my favorite is the 3.0 because the proportions are better, and it looks more streamlined. Thanks for keeping the show alive, and Happy Holidays.

    • Agreed, the Shina Matsunaga version rocks ! Looking forward to episode 200

    • great show as usual. would love to see a top ten gundam buy syd and not limited to just mgs. keep up the great work and ryan everyone wants to see the finished falcon.

    • am BURNINGGGGG hype of mk2

    • I’ll take the zaku.

    • Hello peeps, good to see a new guy on the team and help build gunpla’s for the show! Seems like Ryan has less drive (or laziness) to build kits, but it happens to everyone, especially when you’re getting a newborn and star wars is down the road.

      Keep up the work mateys!

    • Those new mk II’s look awesome, cant wait to get them. 1/100 barbatos looks amazing compared to the hg, love the inner frame

    • Funny scene with those jackets… Darth dudes!

    • that mk-3 good for expermenting

    • Great show. thanks.

    • Give me the gunpla!!!!

  • seeing as i like Star Trek …,
  • Hi,
    So the model is now finished.
    Painted at with my usual technique, and hope you liek the result.
    Thanks for taking a lok,
    Eyal.
  • Update on the progress, I have managed to fit most of the Fenice Rinascita parts onto the frame arms girl stylet.
    currently deciding on a colour scheme for her,

    Another new face makes an appearance on Gunpla TV to talk about the newest Iron-Blooded Orphans, the Hyakuri, and Hyakuren kits, while Syd is excited to talk about a Master Grade kit again!

    Kits featured in this […]

  • panellines and decals left to do, thus far one of the best MG’s I’ve ever built. really recommend it to anyone who hasn’t built it yet!

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years, 10 months ago

    With the Gunpla Expo only two days away we won’t be able to film a video of this guy like we normally would but that still doesn’t prevent us from showing you everything that new 1/100 MG The Origin RX-78-02 […]

    • Dang, that foot articulation and the over the shoulder cannon. Definitely wins.

    • It looks like the Core Fighter has been sacrificed so they could fit an LED unit in the chest. My gripe with the backpack can be fixed with a little scratch building, but the same cannot be said for the Core Fighter itself.

      • Actually, the Core Fighter is sacrificed for an all new lower torso frame design to allow greater movement. We’ll talk more about it on Gunpla TV!

        • The Core Fighter was completely redesigned for Gundam The Origin making it much more compact than the original FF-X7 Core Fighter. I was hoping that this MG release would include the updated core fighter as a means to further differentiate it from the RX-78-2 which seems to have used the same FF-X7 since 1995.

    • articulation is definitely there but i have mixed feelings with the proportions. still deciding between this or the 3.0 …
      @Mathew, what was your gripe with the backpack?

      • The cannon mounted backpack had slightly different detailing and three verniers instead of the two found on most RX-78 variants.

    • Beautiful!

    • I look forward to seeing the comparison of this kit to the 2.0 and 3.0

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years, 10 months ago

    In this episode of Gunpla TV Ryan is ranting while Syd introduces everyone to the adorable Ms. Super Fumina. Of course, we talk Star Wars, games, and the upcoming Gunpla Expo as well so enjoy the show!

    Kits […]

    • i love that Super Fumina i cant wait to get one.

    • it will take a lot of work to make super fumina look realy good

    • I cant wait to see the upcoming show footage. I just wish it was more of a mixed show as I love Frame Arms more.

    • RAGE RAGE EVERY WHERE!

    • you can turn on caps on phone by pressing the shift key twice.

    • When I get my Super Fumina I’m going to turn her into Super TSF!

    • Ryan beastmode! 😀

    • Can’t wait to see what new kits come out at the show.

    • Super Fumina hype is real. Expected as much, EA is the worst company. Excited about the up-coming Gunpla Expo Japan 2015. I am hoping to see announcement of the next RE and RG kits! RE Kshatriya please. haha

    • Robot girls with maid skirts, guns and spats; God, I love Japan 😀

      To Ryan: The role of Super Fumina was that the character who made her had a crush on the actual Fumina and challenged his rival to a Gunpla building contest. To show his love for Fumina, he built the Super Fumina for the competition (without Fumina’s permission, and to her embarrassment). He didn’t win, and challenged his rival to a battle using the Super Fumina to fight (once again, without Fumina’s permission, and to her embarrassment).

      • That episode was hilarious, especially when he was talking about its features and the fact it could wink and the actual Fumina is right behind him ready to rage kill.

    • What a dirty episode.

    • great show as usual. can’t wait to see the news out of the expo

    • Yes i want to win the kit Lindsey built or the burning, And guys smart ones do have a caps lock you just hold done the change button til its solid in color.

    • Vrabe please?

    • Hi syd and Ryan. I would LOVE To win either that hi nu Gundam vrabe or elf bullock

    • I just realized that the Powered GM Cardigan might have been a test to see if people would be interested in Thunderbolt kits. Looking at it like that Fumina was used to test a lot of things for Bandai.

    • Hey guys great show as always.I just wanted to be a testament to the great customer support at HLJ My problem had been resolved within 2 of my request. I look forward to your coverage of the gunpla expo. Have a nice week

    • Hoping for a RE 1/100 Kshatriya. An MG Kshatriya would be my holy grail kit, but I can see why it may never be a thing. Also hoping to win the burning gundam.

    • Yep ryan you are right beside i lived in Canada the customer service is DEEP SH*T and hope i will win the hi nu vrabe

    • They made her a little too PG, even in the anime they made her look like every 15 year olds dream girl.

    • Do androids dream of electric sheep? I’d like to think so, BUT WHAT DO I KNOW, I’M JUST A CRAZY PERSON FROM ELSWEYR!!!!

      *ahem* Sorry about that. Hi-Nu Syd and Ryan! I can has hugs now?

    • Great episode as always, cant wait for the expo video. And i 100% wanna win that Vrabe, the Build Burning is akso acceptable ^_^. And the Super Fumina is from the last episode of Build Fighters TRY where the actual character, Hoshino Fumina, finds out her ‘stalker’ has made a gunpla based off of her, without her permission, and entered it in a model builders’ competition

    • People sure do love themselves a good robot girl

    • HERRO IM YELLOW JUST LIKE HOMER SIMPSON

    • Also ask for a RE 1/100 Queen Mansa (aka Quin Mantha)

    • I hope I win, keep up the great work guys <3 <3

    • im hyped for the expoooooooooooo

    • Can’t wait to see the new kits being released, Enjoying IBO suits so far and MUST know what other suits await! +O+ Also pray to win the Hi nu-gundam Vrabe

    • Great episode guys, i like the humanoid models but i doubt i would ever buy it, Keep being awesome, want that Vrabe

    • Speaking of the Reconguista kits, is the MG G-Self dream dead?

      I would think it to be an extremely rare occurrence for a lead Gundam to not get a 1/100 treatment.

      Personally I was looking for an MG Grimoire… and a G-Arcane Full Dress.

    • That RE100 hype!!

    • HG Hyakuri is the beast

    • dat ass!

    • I hope they announce a MG G-self at the expo!

    • Very nice episode as usual. I’ll get the Super Fumina next month since I really loved the last episode of GBF Try.

    • these are all pretty awesome giveaways, as usual =)

    • I’ve been in a job of high customer service, and from experiencing if you’ve wanted to get anything done you go talk to someone. Directing someone to forums is without a doubt lazy, and often enough the community is more helpful, just look at a recent Bethesda that came out…. and the community will put more effort in to fix it then Bethesda. Because money.

    • Super Fumina is soooo big!!! want

    • Where is the imperial march theme? All this Star Wars talk. But not one note of it =<.

    • Super excited for the news from the expo!

    • Customer service its important
      HLJ gives the best customer serviceXD

    • Super Fumina was so funny in the show, I can’t wait to get one. XD

    • Yeah! You guys have great customer service… keep up the good work 🙂
      and really looking forward to the Gunpla Expo!!!

    • i will be really surprised if i actually ever win lol btw great show as always guys (y)

    • I cannot wait for the Gunpla Expo news! If only I could go and get myself that 35th Anniversary Gunpla base… I guess I’ll find myself a Super Fumina to build while I wait.

    • I’d love to get a few Super Fuminas and do some customizations, you know, a full Super Fumina squad… called the Furious Fumina Five… or something awful like that.

    • If you don’t like that Fumina, you can always send her my way. Looking forward to th next episode. 🙂

    • Hahaha Ryan you cracked me up and good job getting it off your chest. Go for it, Awesome rage mode dude. Really looking forward to see gunpla expo and great episode as always guys.

    • Want the Nu Gundam, just with less salt…

    • I can feel the Ryan’s rage!!

    • I can’t wait to see what the mystery kits will be!

    • It’s the Clark Kent/Superman syndrome; he’s too stupid and bumbling to believe he’s this [enter descriptive here]. So Jar Jar could possibly be the Lord of the Sith.

    • hopefully we see some of those RG in planing kit’s come out

    • can i win again?

    • 7:55 syd …. why did you start rubbing your fingers on the STATS !! 😀

    • Have fun and be safe at the Expo!

      Also SPATS forever

    • Great episode!.
      First time seeing Ryan raging like this and I totally agree with you on how bad steam customer service is!

      Anyway, hope you guys have fun at the gunpla expo, I look forward to follow the Gundam builders world cup and look forward to seeing your next episode.

    • My photo shoots could use a Cyd Edition. Here’s hoping I win one for the blog! >:)

    • Great episode guys and you won’t get any help out activision they couldn’t have great customer service EVEN IF IT KICK THEM IN THE BALLS they wouldn’t be any better and thanks for the episode

    • I want that Hi-Nu!!!!

    • Great episode guys. Really wish I could go to the expo.

    • theres gonna be so many different fumina custom kits. I cant wait to see people start building it

    • Awesome episode! Super Fumina looks cool, but those pink stickers for here spats are garbage.

      I haven’t played a CoD since BO2 lol. Hope RNGeus blesses me with the Vrabe 😀

    • Burning gundam please!!!! One day I hope I can make it to the expo! 🙁

    • man, already waiting for tunderbolt items to come out !!!

    • Them rants about the video games though haha

    • … Nice … !!!

    • Well, good thing I’m getting Battlefront this week instead of COD. Although I doubt EA will have better customer service.

      Really looking forward to the new kits at the expo. Have fun there guys!!

    • Have a great time at the gunpla expo, wish i could go but i’m stuck in Australia and still in school. can’t wait for some new kits to be announced, still waiting for the graze to get to Australia as the Barbatos has just arrived.

    • Will MG Gundam Barbatos come out? I remembered if im not wrong, there should be one right? Hope to win the burning gundam too…

    • will this finally be my time to win? lol
      really want one of those super fumina’s, but plan on making a different face for it.

    • SUPER FUMININA!!!!!!!!! 🙂

    • i want a gundam.

    • Great episode guys ^^

    • Star Wars Hype is REAL!

    • VVVVRRRRRABBBEEE!!!! and on that battle front for that vrabe! cant wait for the announcements at GUNPLA EXPO!

    • super fumina looks pretty good, but compare to the frame arms girl from kotobukiya i think they still have ways to go.

    • Hi ryan and syd I was just wondering for a awesome prize and that would be a gunpla shopping bag that you get in expo events 😛 cool design and would be awesome to get some goceries while carrying a gunpla shopping bag 🙂 anyways I hope to win one of those gunplas 🙂 keep up the work guys!!!

    • Can’t wait to see what’s at the Gunpla Expo, I’m really hoping the next RE/100 is the Kshatriya, it’s just too perfect to not be made for the RE/100 line, MG kits from Thunderbolt would be awesome, can’t wait to see what Bandai is planning

      Keep up the hard work guys, great episode like always 😀

    • Aww, I wanted that F91

    • As always nice episode!

      Fumina is not my kind of kit, but loving the other new ones!

    • cant Wait for next week…

    • Syd if you are right and the RE-Kashatrya get announced at gunpla expo, will be instant-buy for me

    • let it begin

    • I can’t wait for Gunpla Expo!

    • Great Show Guys BTW
      What can you say about the Upcoming Star wars Rebels Season 2 and the Star Wars Rouge One? They Say in Rouge One, Donnie Yen is one of the main cast
      Also Super Fumina is the First Gundam Girl HG since most of the MS Girls are Action Figure

    • Super Fumina is cute. I remember the episode in which she shows up and it was fun also for a grown up like me!
      What I like of this kit is that opens up lots of new possibilities for Bandai. For example they can use what thy learn doing this kit to do lots and lots of MS Girls! I like those illustrations of girls dressed with a mecha suit. I think that Bandai is ready to do them in plastic kits easily now!

      PS No news about the Bandai Star Wars kits? Are they lost forever for us foreigners?

      • Disney is sticking to their distribution strategy. (Revell, which produce their own kits for the US market, came out and said it had nothing to do with the restriction on Bandai SW kits outside of Asia.) So that means no Bandai SW kits through HLJ or other international retailers. You can get them through friends/family/etc. in Japan, or resellers on Ebay and other places that’ll sell them at a markup.

        There’s also the possibility of Revell/Fine Molds/etc. getting US distribution rights to Bandai’s kits. Not likely, but possible. I think.

    • When will i have you, built gunpla?

    • Tell us how you really feel about customer support Ryan! Looking forward to some expo coverage next week. Hope they show us a mg with a completely new mold. Probably not this year. Bandai is really letting the mg list pile up.

    • Really pumped for the new kits! Keep em coming Bandai.

    • Wasn’t interested in the Super Fumina kit before this episodes…. now I kinda want one. haha! 🙂

    • The fumina is awesome.. and the prizes too hahahaha

    • I am loving the IBO kits. Can’t wait to see what is shown off at gunpla expo! Must admit I’ve held off on black ops 3 for the moment. I’ve found the online side of things just aren’t as fun as they used be. Darn teenagers 😀

    • OMG I got my comment on the last episode read on the show! Thanks guys! (fangirl scream goes here).
      The IBO kits are lloking awesome, can’t wait for your coverage of the Gunpla Expo to totally geek out to what’s to come.
      Keep making so awesome shows guys my week cannot begin with a dose of Syd and Ryan and new gunpla!

    • Freeeeeeeeeeeedoooooooooom!!!

    • I love the show and really excited to see the expo!! Also, damn I wanna win that Hi-Nu!!

    • Great episode as usual, guys! Can’t wait to hear about the news from the Gunpla Expo. Keep up the great work!

    • Great job as always guy and thank you Sensei Syd for teaching me a new Japanese word. Also I can’t wait until I get my vrabe in the mail!!!

      Ryan, the ability to financially self recover has allowed the Black Ops franchise and their poor customer service to keep on resurrecting. I’m positive, this franchise has acquired abilities of a gaming monopoly, with the HELP OF ACTIVISION!!!! (Que in Shining Finger Theme)

      Ryan:”This media stardom grants me an awesome power. It’s coverage tells me to inform the public. This Take my frustration, my rage and all of my sorrows!!! RYANNN RAAANNNTTTING.”

      (G Gundam Reference)

      Hopefully after the rant you have let some pressure off and some “nerd” will start for forum to help you out! We are all family here and it is our duty to look out for one and other!

    • mecha pantsu! on a scale of 1 to wtf’s wrong with me, i wonder what it means to be 28 and still not mature enough to not be amused by that. oh well, amusement aside, i do dig the ‘mecha musume’ genre and that super fumina kit does seem pretty cool for what it is; not sure about the maid outfit, though. right now i find myself more favoring the designs of the recent frame arms girls kits. no frills; just girls, armor, and weapons.

      by the way, Ryan, i can’t really relate to any of what you were raging about previously, but i could feel your anger all the way through the interweb to england. IT WAS INTENSE! (and oddly inspirational; way to go!)

      Thanks for the work you guys do, Syd and Ryan; keep on keepn on!

    • What happened to good, buildable robots in trading figure size boxes with gross candy?

    • Can’t believe you chose black ops over fallout 4, looking forward to the next episode

    • your youtube channel is one of my tv shows. waiting for another week… 🙂
      gundam build fighters vrabe is mine…

    • hey guys. another great episode. that controversy about IBO is misleading. he didn’t shoot innocents. he shot first the men who were using the kids as shields, then he shot a fellow soldier as a last request.
      as for super fumina, it was the competition model at the end of the build fighters series. it was built without fuminas knowledge by Minato Sakai. he was disqualified

    • Screw Activision and CoD, get Fallout 4 instead

    • Jigen Haoh-ryu Ryusei Rasen-ken!!

    • I sold my Vrabe to my friend, hoping to win this one! I pre-ordered an HGBF super fumina and the only thing that is bothering me about this kit is the eyes.

    • Hey guys, I look forward to seeing what’s new at the expo! Safe travels on your trip.

    • Episode 200 is fast approaching! You guys have any special plans for that episode?

    • OMG that is so adorable!!!

    • Great episode guys. Can’t wait until the gunpla expo announcements. Personally, I’m hoping for either a MG G-Self or MG Build/Try Burning Gundam. I’m looking forward to your coverage of the expo, and to hearing your opinions on the new announcements. Keep up the good work

    • the vrabe yay!!!

    • Yay! Christmas has come early for me!

      Great episode guys, and thanks for the F91! 😀

    • BURN BABY BURN! I want that Burning Gundam! Great short episode guys.

    • Cool episode.
      Customer service is very important. HLJ never failed me.

    • Enjoyed watching the episode on my commute from work. A great way to unwind ^_^ Looking forward to the next episodes episode, dying to know what new kits will be coming out.

    • While the big kits in the RE/100 line are interesting and great to have, I would much rather have more 1/100 scale grunt units being produced. Gotta build that army man!

    • Great Episode Guys, looking forward to seeing what the hobby show has for us coming up.

    • Great show again, loved the rant by Ryan.

      I think you should make Super Fumina a mascot of the show, like Facepalm Gundam. He needs a friend. 😛

    • I swear those Iron Blooded Orphans kits are awesome. Can’t wait to get to build one.

    • You 2 cant wait for a 1/100 Ms. Super Fumina ^_^

    • One thing that occurred to me when I saw the Super Fumina was that Bandai could now release model kits of the Mobile Suit pilots. You could then display your favourite Mobile Suit with its pilot, or recreate the last act of Mobile Suit Gundam where Amuro and Char fought hand to hand after they’d destroyed the Gundam and Zeong inside the Space Fortress A Baoa Qu.

    • So, did I win yet? Why don’t you guys do a “showcase” of Hobby Japan magazine? It fits with gunplay and like myself, I’d like to know a little about the contents before I buy one of these magazines due to the shipping being so much compare to the magazine itself.

    • Can’t wait for the Gundam expo news ^^ I wish I could go to those expos! Have fun there guys 🙂

    • Awesome show!

    • I love build fighter kits. They are my favorite.

    • Elf Bullock!

    • That Fumina is probably the oddest gunplay I’ve ever seen.

    • I never WIN giveaways… but I guess there’s no harm in entering…

    • i really hope i get the build burning or hi nu gundam brave! cant wait foe for gunpla expo

    • Great show but I guess Super Fumina is the closest thing to a Star Wars model we’re getting for a while…

    • I know what you mean Syd, Super Fumina would raise questions with the missus, even if I said it was technically a mobile suit.

      The Hi-Nu Gundam: Vrabe has grown on me since reading the manga, would be great to add that to the collection.

    • i just found out that super fumina’s apron is made of some kind of soft plastic but the chest is not, which is ok to me(lie)

    • I’m completely with you, i’d love to see the Zaku I thunderbolt in an MG form, the color just works together and just looks great. Also wouldn’t mind getting either that elf bullock or Try Burning ;P

    • If the Hi-Nu gundam really was Amuro’s best mobile suit, the Char would have certainly gotten his butt kicked in an instant.I’m hoping to see what “Mystery Hg A” and “Mystery Hg B” are and can’t wait to see your guy’s coverage of the show!

    • Hey everybody, do not reply, you won’t win. Muwahaha.

    • I can’t help but think that the Super Fumina is too super cute. That thought feels so dirty. What is the 1/100 line about is it going to take the place of the MG and REs?
      I am excited about any NEW MG and RG kits. Now that we are past build fighters, bring on the MGs.

    • mmmmmhmmmm that super fumina~

    • Build burning gundam WOW…..HOLY SHRIMP!!!!

    • I love how while everyone else is getting hype over Star Wars, I’m getting hyped over the Finding Dory teaser…

      Oh and don’t worry Ryan, Steam’s customer support is trash everywhere.

    • great episode!! keep em coming

    • BOO ACTIVISION! THE SUPER FUMINA I PREORDERED FROM HLJ WILL DESTROY THEM ALL!

    • it can easily be mistaken a figma figure. 🙂

    • I can’t wait to see what gets announced at Gunpla Expo!

    • Nice episode guys. can’t wait for gunpla expo reveals.

    • Wow! Super Fumina was really…..umm….yep….Great show guys! Watching Ryan rage against Activision was pure comedy gold! (we all feel your pain though)

    • nice show guys. cant wait for the live stream.

    • ME ME ME LET ME WIN!!!! 😀
      nice super fumina!!I like the articulation there

    • A company with good customer’s service always make happy customers! hehehe, Actually Ryan, Super Fumina was an entry kit of Minato Sakai for a Meijin Cup which is like a GBWC in real life.

    • LET ME HAVE HI-NU GUNDAM VRABE!!!
      😀

    • Wow, this week was turning into HobbyrantTV! Loved every second of it, go Ryan!! CRUSH THEM!!

    • The Super Fumia looks a little scary to me, but hey that Elf Bullock!

    • Hurray me. If my comment happens to be called again, feel free to give it to whoever’s below me… unless it’s for the Elf Bullock, in which case OUT OF MY WAY PLEBS.

      Thanks for that reminder about the RE/100 line, Syd. The kits immediately after the Nightingale being “regular”-sized kits caused me to forget that tackling larger designs was one of the inspirations for the RE/100 line in the first place.

      I asked this last week and I’ll ask again: Can we “donate” kits, especially lesser-shown ones, to be featured on the show? I have several Frame Arms/Armored Core/Macross kits in Private Warehouse or on preorder, and would love to see them discussed. (They don’t get enough attention.)

      Hope you two have a fun time at the event! Hope to see more 1/100 IBO announcements!

    • That Fumina kit is the best thing that happened to HGBF line since the second Beargguy! 😀

      Would like to see some group build of that kit… and even better, so see everybody put them as their entry into some scale model contest 🙂 Than would be awesome! 😀

    • Great show. Super Fumina looks better then I expected, might grab one for myself.

    • Another thing: If you see an ARX-7 Arbalest at Kotobukiya’s booth/event, take lots and lots of pictures, please. I REALLY want a nice complement to my pair of ARX-8 Laevateins.

    • Just wondering, will all the IBO kits that’s coming out in 1/144, will they all (or the base variant) be all coming out in 1/100?

    • Really hoping we’ll get a HGUC revive of the Zeta sometime soon!

    • Great episode

    • i want a gunpla of myself now.

    • Is it a good idea to use Gloss Top Coat on any RG kit? Since there are so many shiny decals involved…

      • Decals or stickers? If decals, it’s perfectly fine. If stickers, it should also be perfectly fine, though an alternate strategy might be to leave those shiny stickers off until AFTER you gloss-coat, and then apply them.

    • Can’t wait for your expo coverage!

    • I love those grunt kits from Iron Blooded Orphans! I hope all of them gets a 1/100 version!!!

    • Haha Ryans rant xD
      I left a comment the last time mentioning how I was disappointed with the look of Fumina (mainly the stale face), but I still want one… Bandai got me…

      Super Fumina was featured in the last episode, like only for 1-2 minutes, and the outfit isn’t related to her role in the series really. The guy who created it made the gunpla based on his fantasy of her.

    • Thanks for the review on the Super Fumina. Now I know what to expect when package from you arrives 🙂
      Can’t wait (but I’ll have to guess) for your updates from the expo! Now which one should I click on… 1/144 MS A or MS B… or both. DUH!

    • Nice episode as always! The moment Super Fumina showed up in the anime was very funny, nice to see that it translated so well to plastic. Great gifts also, that VRABE is really cool!

    • Hi guys,
      Thanks for the show. Can’t wait for the next episode.
      Love the Hi nu gundam.
      Thanks.

    • It’s COD most people that play that game are trolls. Activision doesn’t care about their customers that’s why they pump out a new game every year all they care about is money.

    • Hope to win!! As always keep up the awesome work!!

    • Game companies are always screwing players one way or another, things only seem to get fixed when they start to lose money, at least in my experience.

    • I know it’s been a long time since its release, but I just love the HG Graze. Also, what the heck happened to the MG Gundam Age 3 and MG Gundam Age FX. Did they just forget the two model kits or something?

    • Would love to see you guys make a new series called, “Ryan Rants” haha

    • If I win one of those kits I’ll make a video saying that HLJ is the best Gunpla shopping site and everyone should buy from you guys… maybe. I’ll think about it anyway.

    • I can’t help but nod to what Ryan was saying about customer service, Its extremely important since trust between a consumer and a seller is already shaky ground to begin with and you can’t have a product sell without a consumer.

      Its sickening to think that with all of Activision’s assets already going above and beyond that of an average video game publisher’s budget by tenfold they can’t even offer reasonable service for their products.

      I too have been burned by Activision’s lack thereof support and thanks to that it ended up burning $70 in my wallet for a product I can’t even use here in the states.

      Oh well, Just another reason to not give my money to Activision and instead give my money to HLJ and further this addictive hobby.

    • Hi guys! Thanks for another entertaining episode. Ryan, sorry to hear about the awful Customer Service. 🙁 I like the Super Fumina. I remember laughing out loud when the design premiered in Try Fighters.
      Have fun at the Gunpla Expo!

    • Cool show, as usual, terrible news about costumer service for games Ryan, your rant showed your anger. Looking forward to what comes out at the Expo.

    • Awesome episode guys, i think the kishatrya will get an re release but not anytime soon

    • I wish it was real 1/144 scale instated of being 1/100 scale.

      • You do realize that a real 1/144 scale Fumina would be about 1cm tall, right? And that a 1/100 wouldn’t be much taller? Assuming real-world Fumina is about 160cm and the kit about 16cm (MG Wing/X size), that means the kit is about 1/10 scale. You’d want her to be 1/12 or 1/13 scale to more closely match HG heights.

    • loved the review done on super fumina. The rage on customer service was also entertaining :). I did had the change to deal with HLJ customer service one time I would like to say that it’s one of the best I’ve experienced so far. Keep up the good work.
      By the way, wouldn’t mind getting either kits as I don’t have neither 😛

      Enjoy the Expo guys.

    • Man, those pink stickers really bring the quality of that kit down. Nothing a little paint can’t fix, but I really wish that Bandai had just molded it in pink instead.

    • Looking forward to seeing what’s new at the Gunpla Expo and the next Ryan rant.

    • Nice episode guys. can’t wait for new gunpla.

    • Haven’t read or heard of Thunderbolt but it sounds pretty awesome, can’t wait to try it

    • I expect Super Mirai coming from the GBFT OVA

    • Great episode! Iron blooded orphans is my favorite show.

    • that was a nice idea about super fumina’s eyes, i was thinking about doing it too though i dont have one hahaha!! 🙁

    • Enjoyed the show as always. Keep up the good work. Now lay some gunpla on me!

    • Great episode

    • Great episode and I want that vrabe!

    • Thank you for making all the videos!

    • SHOW ME THE GUNPLA!!!

    • I don’t think I will be comfortable display Fumina.

    • Give me Gunpla!!!Give me Gunpla!!!Give me Gunpla!!!Give me Gunpla!!!

    • If the super fumina shares part with the storm troopers, do you reckon it is roughly a 1/6 figure ? Could you swap parts with a starwars kit ?

      Wow Ryan –> rage against the (video game) machine 😀

    • PC Black Ops 3 represent! Sucks you’re having those issues with customer service, Ryan. Their bias toward the states is pretty lame.

    • I would really like that vrabe! 😮
      Maybe RX-93 Real Grade after the Qant?

    • The new SD lineups are supposed to be released like few months ago. Is there any reason for it to not be on the site?

    • Blow on the dice and hope I win. Come on Elf land on me!

      Ryan I feel your pain, companies now just directing you to forums where 90% of the answers are not helpful but comments just saying “why would you do that?” Glad to say when I need help from HLJ there was an actual person typing in the answer.

      Good work guys and watch you soon…

      RodgerNSF

    • Thank you — we’re working on getting this fixed!

    • I love the beam effect parts for the shields. What a good idea.

    • Great show as always guys, keep it up!

    • I really can’t wait for that RG Quan[T]

    • I’ll first say im in Canada and new games are generally 69.99$ or the BIG name games that are 79.99$ so i know your pain Ryan. secondly I KNOW YOUR PAIN WITH FORUM SOURCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      The playstation/sony forum BS is soooo annoying. Beginning IBO on episode 1 hoping it lives up to expectations, Thunderbolts as well.
      That V-Rabe though 😉

    • The super fumina is a mix design of the main girl character and her first gundam the powered gm cardigan in build fighters try. Don’t know why it has part of a maid outfit on, it’s japan I suppose. ;p

    • I haven’t watched any shows for about 6 months. I’d forgotten how awesome you guys are. Keep up the good work.

    • Looking forward to my super Fumina arriving as well as the IBO kits and the Origin Rx-78-02! Another awesome episode Syd and Ryan.

    • Awesome show, guys! Thanks again. I need to start picking up some kits from the new RE line.

    • Loving the IBO hits so far, hlj rules 🙂

    • The concept of mecha musume isn’t exactly a new one, but it seems as though Bandai’s experiment here is extremely polarizing: you love it or you hate it. But either way, displaying Super Fumina seems like a move that’ll lead to awkward questions.

      From what I’ve seen the eyes seem glassy and flat, which is kind of freaky. I would also opt to paint instead of using the eyelash stickers. I would be disappointed that the skirt and apron aren’t more flxible, but also that the hair isn’t softer. Maybe they could have used a softer plastic, like on the S.A.Figurts line for some of their clothes (one of the Saber figures has it).

      The part that surprises me is that Sakai put Fumina in an outfit she’s never worn. If not her school uniform, then why not use her sports outfit instead? And her shorts could have indeed been molded in colour.

      Much of the accessories seem to be inspired by the GM Powered Cardigan, Fumina’s first gunpla. But the clear green pieces seem inspired by the ones from the Star Winning Gundam. The entire piece makes me wonder: how well does Sakai REALLY know Fumina?

      • For those wanting to customize the Super Fumina, here’s what my own experience has taught me:
        https://plus.google.com/+BenNBNuts/posts/UKawHbwsrLC?pid=6253090111920196866&oid=107043794242676779332

        1. Not using the lenses for the eyes makes it look a little less freaky.
        2. Not using the bottom portions of the skirt armour can increase articulation, but unless you want a torso piece whose thickness does not match properly with the chest or waist pieces, you must use the apron skirt. Likewise, you could only skip the headdress if you have something to fill in the gap in the top of the head.
        3. Not using the ankle or shoe tongue armour can also increase articulation. Mind that the height combined with the smaller feet make the ‘Super Fumina’ extremely backheavy.
        4. Stickers that were okay to use are the eyes and ear. The rest, I recommend painting in if you can due to all the curved surfaces.
        5. And critically, if you plan on trying to give ‘Super Fumina’ functioning wrist vulcans from the ‘HGBC Powered Arms Powereder’ kit, note that both the arms and the vulcan housings have pegs on them. Note also the curve to Super Fumina’s arms. I tried to fill in the gaps by cutting the pegs on both, but didn’t get the height exactly right. I cemented the vulcans on, but am not sure about the connections’ strength. I think modelling putty would be better here.

        I also gave the Powered Arms themselves to my figma Drossel, who is pleased to finally meet a Gunpla that is taller than her.
