Since the stand for PGs was only available in the first batch of release of the 00 Raiser, Bandai is not producing or selling them any more so you have to rely to third party if you want a stand for your PGs. I found this one on Ebay and it’s a Chinese knock off of this original stand. But you can get other stands like the ones that G-System sells.
Right from the carton and into your living room (or work desk if that’s where you are watching from) here is our unboxing of the newest Perfect Grade, the 1/60 PG Unicorn Gundam 2 Banshee Norn. This box has even […]
Oh man love the box art of the Banshee. Also the Manual look real nice. The only thing that bug the hell out of me that they made the Armed Armor VN/BS P-Bandai. Oh well, guess Bandai is still “that” Bandai that we know, looking forward to the build.
Did they use a dull gold on the frame parts because they don’t show as much, or is it because coated gold could potentially scratch? And of course, excluding financial or technical reasons.
I’ve been following you guys on YouTube for a year and a half now, and I just finished building my first 3 Gundam and it was fun. So thank you for inspiring me too build Gundam instead of watching people build them.
Hi,
The Hermes was so much fun I took a second aircraft carrier from the stash, this time another Orange hobby kit, the HMS Victorious from the 60s era which involves some interesting airplanes.
The structure is finished already, and here is the picture 🙂
So we have several MGs announced today.
– Amazing Exia (P-Bandai)
– Hyaku Shiki Kai (P-Bandai)
– V2 Gundam Ver. Ka (only mass release that was announced)
Hi,
so the work is done, a very challenging kit, but I’ve enjoyed it a lot. I have another kit of Orange hobby, and I plan to get more. The complexity and interesting subjects are very appealing to me.
thanks for taking a look,
Eyal.
No, i can’t believe this, I loved the Star Wars kits from Bandai. They combined two of my favorite things: Gunpla and Star Wars. Is there any chance that they will come back in the future?
I doesnt look like Bandai decision. Still the kits should still be avaliable by ebay just with a mark-up by the seller who would have to pay the full price of the kit and also earn some cash from the sell.
It does suck it really does, but lets look on the bright side, for all we know bandai has gone into talks to distribute the kits internationally so maybe we will still be able to get our model building paws on them. It does suck that Hlj wont be able to sell em but that deal that HLJ is running is awesome so lets snap up those kits.
That would be the only thing that makes sense. They aren’t going to sell more Revell kits by doing this. They are painfully dated in comparison to the stuff Bandai has done with the line.
Actually I don’t blame George at all. Say what you will about the Prequels films George knew how to sell the Star Wars merchandise fans wanted to them. He knew that when doing the midnight toys sales people are really ONLY there for the action figures so he made sure the toy stores had a surplus of figures to sell. He could sell a thousand or more figures per store on these midnight madness events. Since Disney took over they had MAYBE 100, if that, figures to sell TOPS. They didn’t want to buy the other crap Disney had wasting shelf space.
We all know how Bandai tried to sell Gunpla in America and failed because nobody knew what they were. This would have been a HUGE win/win for Lucasfilm and Bandai.
Oh, for the real reason why, here is my guess. Revell bought the exclusive rights to sell Star Wars model kits in certain countries (like the USA). This means that model Star Wars kits made by other companies can not be sold directly in the USA without Revell giving their permission.
Is it all Bandai Star Wars products or just the model kits? is HLJ still gonna be selling for example the s.h. figuarts star wars figures from bandai internationally?
I would love to buy them from hlj rather from my local distributor as they mark the price double if I bought them from hlj even with shipping. Hate bandai for the star wars and the ‘P Bandai’ stuff.
By the way @Ryan I dont if this is only my pc prob or my web browser problem. I’ve been inconveniently seeing alots of ads from hlj site. mainly ads like malware. the problem is Its only on hlj site. other site is ok. I’ve been cleaning up my browser and updating my antivirus but the problem persist.
LAME MOVE Disney. There is a reason that fans don’t buy the American model kit releases and its called THEY SUCK!!!
You aren’t going to generate any sales in America by doing this. You are only going to cost yourself additional sales of people who want to buy these kits and now can’t buy them. It’s like you are purposefully trying to lose money or something.
Between this and the Force Friday debacle, where you had almost no figures which were THE ONLY THING PEOPLE COME TO THOSE MIDNIGHT SALES EVENTS TO BUY, your licensing marketing team needs to fired.
To be fair Disney’s licensing team for Star Wars is currently 0 for 2. They totally misunderstood what fans wanted to buy on Force Friday by short-stocking the action figures and now they are preventing fans from buying stuff they want with these kits. I’m hoping they realize the error of their ways but I am not holding my breath yet.
Who is Revell to decide what I can and cannot buy. This is invasion of my personal life. There is no free trade in America. Disney and Bandai should buy out Revell to prove a point.
Hi @Syd and @Ryan I was rewatching all the previous Gunpla TV and notice that few times people have been commenting about virtual on kits..when will you do it since Bandai wont have any interesting kits apart from PG Banshee and MG Rx78-2 Origin.
Syd has recovered (kinda) and Ryan has returned (kinda) and they are both back in the studio to talk about the what they’ve been working on while they were away from the studio. Syd’s got something red and […]
Hey, Syd and Ryan there’s been some talk about Bandai asking online stores to stop exporting their Star War kits outside Japan. Is there any truth or confirmation about this?
welcome back Ryan and it’s good to see Sid is feeling better. As for the amazing red warrior it’s just begging for an optimus prime or nemesis prime paint job!
The MG Amazing Red Warrior seems a lot more interesting than I expected. These giveaways are all really cool. Would have liked to find out the mystery prize. Congratulations to all the winners.
Thanks for another GREAT episode. I’m really impressed with the Amazing Red Warrior. Def on my list as a kit to get! Looking forward to all the new Star Wars kit news too! Keep up the great work guys!
Other than model kits, I also like documentation so I hope I win that little booklet! Just wondering how did you get it? I also hope that Bandai will release something Code Geass related as Code Geass: Akito the Exiled episode 3 just came out!
So many revives, reborns, and new versions of gunpla coming out. What a time to be alive. Great to see Ryan back with some more Star Wars, and Syd with more MG. Sweet Episode and here’s to many more.
glad to have you guys back, the ladies did an awesome job. every time i see those huge heads on the gundam they showed I want to built it a helmet! Cool show as usual, keep it up ladies and gents!
Glad both of you are back!!! Can’t wait for the show and see some new kits, just make sure upload the video asap, so people like me can see it oversea. Hope Sid you get well soon.
why couldnt i be born in japan… lol id love to get one of those booklets 😀 im hoping they announce a new MG or POSSIBLY another RE, what do you guys think?
Can’t wait to get my sand trooper 🙂 and i just saw all the new Bandai star wars kits that are coming out soon – Eps 7 x-wing and millennium falcon, new stormtrooper, bb 8 and new tie fighter. super excited!!!!!
welcome back syd and ryan! with all these new revive kits, hopefully they’ll remake some of the other older MG kits. *hint hint MG freedom* lol good to see you guys and always looking forward to the new episodes.
Love that Amazing Red Warrior, Im glad that syd is feeling better 🙂
I build the HGCE Freedom a few days ago and love every bit of it. Now i need to finish the RG Red Astray off. Keep up the good work ryan and syd 🙂
As surprised as I am with the HG Revive Freedom, as disappointed I am with the Amazing Red Warrior… Glad I held out on that one.
Thanks guys, now we’re never gonna figure out what was in that box!!!!!!!
In the whole history of Gunpla TV Giveaway I’ve never ever seen a picture posted of a kit won by one of the contenders, nor red a comment on the blog by most of the contenders, let alone a winner….. 🙁
Cool episode. Nice to see everyone looking good and the new Freedom looks super cool, I’m considering using it to build a Strike Rouge custom suit, kit bash thing.
So glad to see you’re better Syd! Welcome both back to the show, though the girls did a very good job as always when they fill in for you.
I am starting to want that Amazon Red kit, it’s looking better every time I see it, and the Revive Freedom does make the old one look so awful it makes me sad.
Anyway, so far I haven’t won anything but those catalogs are so awesome I want one!!!!!! (will this be the one?)
Keep up the good job guys, cheers from Costa Rica!
I bought the HG Amazing Red Warrior, but I haven’t built it yet. After seeing this episode, I really wish I had held out for the MG because it looks significantly cooler.
I’m glad you’re getting better Syd. Keep on taking your Vitamin C!
I don’t understand why everybody thinks that Phantom Menace was that bad of movie. From what I heard one of the only main problems with it was Jar-Jar. I understand he was annoying, but I don’t really think that affected it that much. To me the light saber fight (with Darth Mall) and the pod racing scenes made up for it.
I don’t even care that Syd coughed all over the revive pamphlets. I still want one. Thanks for reading my comment. I posted a pic of the custom petit bearguy that looks like me in the hobbylink TV group since you asked. Can’t wait to see how the Slave 1 turns out.
Good show as always guys. Glad everyone is back in force… LOL
Just finished my PG Unicorn I picked up from HLJ a while back. Posed it next to my PG Strike Freedom and wow. Compared to the Freedom the Unicorn looks like a tank. I didn’t realize the size difference was so much. Like Ryan said about the storm trouper, the Freedom has these tiny thin legs compared to the tree trunks of the Unicorn.
I’ve posted some shots of my build in the “Custom Gundam” forum to share.
Keep up the great work and come on Mr. Random.org, smile on me with some goodies!
Welcome back guys, awesome episode as always. I have a question, do you think we will see the AGE-FX as a Master grade or is it HG and SD we have to live with?
“What’s in the Box!?”
Anyway, thanks for the episode guys and the nifty giveaway this time. The MG ARW looks fun, but I am waiting for some more non-Build Fighter MGs and, of course, new RGs. Glad to see you back, Ryan.
Yo. Sid. I had mixed feeling about the release of the MG Amazing Red Warrior. Before it’s announced, I was already making my Amazing Red Warrior custom from the MG RX 78 2 ver.3.0. So i was pretty pissed ><. But i'll still continue making it and still buy the MG. lol btw, glad to see you're well and back. Ryan too. 🙂
Still on the fence with the MG Amazing Red Warrior. It looks nice and the weapons make it really “amazing”, but I think it needs an extra color to separate all the bright and dark reds. I never had an RX-78 2.0, so it may still be an interesting build for me. On the other hand, I was almost locked on skipping the Revive line until I saw the upcoming Mk. IIs and Qubeley. Now I have the Revive Guncannon and RX-78-2 awaiting construction. So the MG ARW may still find its way to my shelf…
Btw, nice to see you guys again in this new episode. Syd, I hope you fully get well soon. Ryan, the Star Wars reviews are great. If I had extra cash I’d probably buy a few of those figures someday.
Hey Syd, Ryan, Anne, and Lindsay! Nice to see the episodes coming out more often again. Always nice to see the reviews on new kits, although I do miss the customizing tips. Here’s hoping I get one of those magazines, that would be cool.
The red warrior Looks pretty cool with the exception of the neck. It Looks like the neck has been stretched from it’s socket.lol
I’m actually thinking of getting the revive series rx-78 mk II. It’s looking decent.I’ll wait for a proper Review though first.
Now, Lady luck, let me win a gundam catalog. yeah!
Hey, Syd. I want to see a custom model made by you! I love the Steingeese from episode 118, and it would be great to se another custom in the show. ^_^
Gotta win something! I was really hoping to get the mystery box too D= Speaking of Hobby Japan, I noticed some places are still selling the Caletvwlch Fire – does that only fit the Wing Gundam Honou, or could other kits use it?
That Freedom Revive looks amazing! And with the October issue of Hobby Japan it’s the perfect time to pick it up! Thanks guys (and gals) for another quality episode of Gunpla tv!
Glad to see you`re better Syd. So last Sat/Sun here in Bulgaria we had an anime festival with a gunpla workshop(woo-hoo) which I was supervising i.e. giving advice to newbies ( which most were 😀 ) helping with build problems and giving advice/info about the hobby…have you done this type of thing before and got some tips for me ? Since it seems I`ll be doing this more and more often 🙂
You can definately see the vast improvements from the Older Hg to the new revive kits and just as easy for the younger builders too. Awesome.
Love the new Bandai STAR WARS Kits but, IF BANDAI CAN PUT WATERSLIDE DECALS IN EVERY STAR WARS KIT THEN WHY CAN’T THEY PUT THEM IM RG KITS!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no problem paying a little more to have the option in the kit and I don’t have to worry about them selling out before I get around to buying the kit. So Frustrating.
OK finished ranting now. Great show as always. Good to see SYD back among the living.
yeah..agreed with you..even the expensive ver ka also dont always have the waterslides..they should atleast give it with all MG kits since MG kits is more expensive and most of the buyer would be more than willing to pay more just as to get the waterslides.
It’s a pretty good business decision on Bandai’s part, actually. Most people won’t bother to apply those pesky waterslide decals anyway; producing them in limited amounts at premium prices that are sure to sell out ensures max profit.
while that is a very true and correct statement the fact that there are so many aftermarket knockoff waterslide decal sheets out there on fleabay ( which I am myself purchasing even if they are 10% different to the originals )leads one to believe that there is much higher demand than they are supplying to and therefore a much greater profit that they are missing out on.
Great to see you guys back again, and Syd, I know how you are feeling, been fighting the flu myself.
Sad to hear that Bandai is restricting their Star Wars kits to be sold only in Japan. I was looking forward to some of the new Epi VII kits. Also see some of the current SW kits have been taken down from your site … hope thats not a sign of things to come.
This is really how the HG Freedom should have been!! I remember even as a kid, being disappointed in the articulations of Freedom, especially since it was/is one of my favorite Gundam.
I actually didn’t notice difference in proportion until the two Freedoms were side by side. That’s a hugeee change.
Hi Syd and Ryan awesome show as always. I have some ideas for future model kits for example a real grade sword impulse Gundam that has the core fighter transformation feature and a high grade revive zeong
What do you guys think will be this year’s big December kit? Or what would you want Bandai to release? With Origins Ep 2 coming out, I am predicting we will see a Zaku II 3.0 or ver Ka, although I’m not too sure that would qualify as a “big” kit.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the show again. Any RG predictions (any new RG coming after the Red Astray?)
Love the revive RX-78-2.
A copy of the catalog would be nice to have if it is not to late.
Thanks again.
Sad to hear the news about the Star Wars Kits. I’ll still continue buying from HLJ. Nice show again guys. I really, really, really want that… catalogue!
just saw news about the hg meteor and rg infinite justice, pretty excited,
and damn the hg barbatos box art is awesome, now I am consider to getting one. I was gonna wait for the anime then decide lol
cant wait to the new perfect grade kit coming out at the end of the month but im wondering if the led kit is going to be different for the banshee norn or if the led for the pg unicorn could be used for the banshee
That red warrior looks amazing. (Badum ptsss) anyways, great episode and hope to see more of the mg build fighters line! By the way, i built a jibanyan (youkai watch) that was featured in a past hobby link episode, and i must admit its pretty cute. Hahahaha
Great Channel. I’m half way through my first Gundam. HGBF Sengoku Astray. I’m 51, imagine that – lol. The red warrior looks awesome. I have the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW cued up next. Not sure what’s after that. I like the small size of the HG/RG but he detail of the MG is tempting.
No more Bandai Star Wars Kits for the U.S.! AHHH, I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of modelers cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced! Well, some of the new Revell kits released in Oct and Nov are not that bad, and they will re-release the 1/48 Fine Molds kits.
Finally got the last 2 kits for my G-Reco collection being the Kabakali and the Prefect G-Self. Also picked up the RG Astray Red Frame.
Next stop, PG Banshee!
what base is that
what stand did you use and how did you make it stand with the 0 raiser attached to its back
Since the stand for PGs was only available in the first batch of release of the 00 Raiser, Bandai is not producing or selling them any more so you have to rely to third party if you want a stand for your PGs. I found this one on Ebay and it’s a Chinese knock off of this original stand. But you can get other stands like the ones that G-System sells.
