In this episode Ryan shows off a little something-something that he was handed after the recent Wonderfest and Syd talks about the Elf Bullock HG kit he was really happy with. Of course he opens up the box for […]
I gotta get my hands on the Hi-Nu Vrabe (Brave?). It looks awesome.
I remember that ZZ actually! It was one of the first videos I watched about Gunpla because I was interested in building. I considered getting the ZZ, but I chose the 0 Gundam from 00 because that was the spiritual successor to the RX-78. Yep.
The DM Exia is supposed to have improved ankles, on one of the blogs I read that’s been a big topic of conversation. I don’t have the kit yet but given the extra weight added to the back, I’d be surprised if Bandai didn’t address that instability with this new kit.
Sponge Spinner will be totally a good office gift. You guys need to make a show about these kind of goofy stuff. “Want to tell someone they need a bath? Do we have an item for you!” Then hire some clumsy people on the infomercials struggling with mundane household items. Get insurance.
Hey guys, syd i was wondering whats your thoughts on the seed/destiny franchise? Despite people not liking the anime i feel at least the series has some of the best gundam designs(destiny gundam being my favorite) ansd i like that there’s a ton of gundams in the show lol.
Great video as always guys, but I’m curious about what you think of the new gundam the origin being based on char before they start the actual main storyline
Also about the question thing when you win in a contest. You’re from Canada right? Didn’t they have a rule about gambling there and lotto winners are given a simple elementary grade question so that the contest is not a matter of luck but of intelligence or skill does not being purely a gamble?
Thanks for the look at the elf bullock, I’d been curious about that kit for a little while now. I also suspect that the GAEON is pronounced with a seperate “G” like G-Aeon and all of the other G-types.
Another great episode guys, keep up the good work! Also good luck on the finding/training the guy to substitute Syd while he’s away, hope you’ll still have an episode running! 😀
great finally an MG. im a sucker for MG. For me 1/100 scale is the best size for me. HG’s are too small for me. I don’t even mind an NG or RE100 as long as its 100 scale.
Loved the episode as always, the Elf Bullock is cool! But now, gimme that Guncannon from episode 5 and the ZZ from episode 2, 3 and 4. The Guncannon is my favorite MS <3 Keep up the great work, guys! 😀
I want a free kit (; n 😉 *pull out a rocket launcher and fires randomly* I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA!!!
*sn anyone else looking forward to the 2.0 hyaku shiki?
That Elf Bullock looks sick! I’ll be sure to grab one once I get started on Reconguista in G! Also it’s great to see the old ZZ from some of the first few episodes, it brought back a lot of memories from when I first started following Gunpla TV!
I cant believe you’re giving away the gun cannon this is ever one of the saddest moments or one of the happiest moments in gunpla tv. and congratulations on keeping the series alive for 167 episodes.
Syd’s guess was close. I bought a HGUC Guntank from a local antique store run by a man in his late seventies. I usually only find aircraft and car kits at rummage sales.
Loving the MG Exia Dark Matter, Still gotta figure out my next gunpla. thinking RX78-2 3.0.
You shouldn’t give away that ZZ gundam.. first kit for the show? I’d put it on a pedestal somewhere.. lol
Please tell me you guys have seen the Star Winning Gundam, because that thing is impressive… It’ll definitely be my next (impulse) buy. Well, maybe that and the Superion that I’ve just seen in an ad for HLJ 😛
Oh well back to building my MG Strike Freedom for now .-.
lol, great show guys the foam car seems i bit odd but i’m sure fans of the series would buy it, also really eager to see the new Hi Nu kits looks awesome.
I will say that buying from Barnes and Nobel is a rip off which usually ends up costing 10$ to 20$ more than getting the model off of HLJ. Also happy to hear about someone finding a gunpla lady. Hopefully I will find one someday.
Great episode again. I was hoping to see a MG Dark Matter since it is my favorite Gundam from the Build Fighters show. I just don’t like building HG kits they are too simple for my taste. After building The RG Exia I was wanting to build another variation of it in MG form and I think I will give this one a try.
For those interested, Jigen Haoh School is the what the main protagonist, Sekai, screams with his Build Burning Gundam in the anime Build Fighters Try; since the Build Burning was featured in the last episode.
It’s been awhile since I’ve heard a that’s what she said from you guys! Great episode as always, you two. As for that comment about the Jigen Haoh Ryu…that’s from Gundam Build Fighters Try. Because Sekai has to yell every attack before he does it. Because logic. ANYWAY. I’d love to win that red Zaku. It’s 3 times faster!
I take it back! I want that ZZ ;-;this show has meant so much to me in the past year of me getting into Gunpla, I watched every episode back to back. That ZZ is like, incredible in its sentimental value.
I think the weirdest place I’ve found a Gundam model was probably my first MG. I was at Super!BitCon, a retro gaming convention here in Oklahoma, looking for some Dreamcast games. I saw this guy selling a few controllers and an old MG RX-78-2 2.0 from 2008. It was pretty poorly constructed with none of the nub marks removed and there were no other models or figures being sold by the guy. It was almost destiny though, as I just started watching you guys and getting into model building.
Its always fun to watch gunpla t.v and build gunpla at the same time, some how watching you guys talk about gunpla is like watching gundam build fighters it just makes you want to get cracking and build more gunpla.
Ryan’s brain is like Pandora’s Box. Only on GunplaTV will Gundam and Fifty Shades be used together in one sentence. Anyway, I’m not really interested in Blade Runner but a Gundam sponge/foam thing might be interesting.
The prospect of getting a kit that’s already been worked on by someone else is scary. If I continued working on it, everything I did would look amateurish at best.
Another great episode gents. Btw that Jigen Haoh phrase that one commenter wrote is what the main antagonist from Build Fighters Try says when he pulls off a special move. ALso love the Guncannon. I really like the recent revised version of the HG kit coming out sometime in the summer.
I have watched this show since the first episode’s airing! I have watched each episode the day it came out since episode 1! I WANT THAT HGUC ZZ AND MG GUNCANNON! If you win it and I don’t – message me, I’ll buy it from you!
Not to into the sponge thing. It would be cool to get one of the prizes. Right now I am building my first Gundam. I chose a master grade Nu Gundam ver ka. I know probably shouldn’t have started there but I love the Gundam so much.
The sponge spinner… I don’t know does it work in the bath or shower? Does this mean sponge Bob may be a replicant? Do sponge androids dream of sponge sheep? Who am I to ask?
Im disappointed in the MG Dark Matter, i was hoping it would come with a red led (considering that its price is rather high for a MG).
Im a big fan of “Main Bad Guy” mobile suits and this one just looks weak to me (i have 2 Exias already and and this one just looks like the same old thing, jest red/black) I most likely will skip on this one and get some thing older that i miss from my collection (trying to get all Zeon MG’s from the original gundam :] )
This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!
Its burning grip tells me to defeat you!
TAKE THIS!
MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW!
SHINING FINGER!
Great Ep as always. Syd and Ryan are you going to make a review on the “Hobby Japan May 2015 with Wing Gundam Zero Honoo Sword Kit” once it is out ? would really like to see a review on that 🙂
Syd and Ryan are you going to make a review on the “Hobby Japan May 2015 with Wing Gundam Zero Honoo Sword Kit” once it is out ? would really like to see a review on that 🙂
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! I’ve been watching since your first ep and to have a chance to win not one, but two of the classic HLJ kits built on the show, is so awesome! I hope this time is my lucky drawing to win! Great show guys!
The sponge spinner looks really good, and the material seems to be more durable than probably a dish washing sponge. What if the company made sponge Star Wars, I think a sponge millennium falcon would awesome. Ryan and Syd, what would you like to design if bandai faxed you a notice and said they would like for you to create a gundam, or Star Wars character/ vehicle?
Syd and Ryan,
should the random number generator choose my post as a winner in its gloriously infinite randomness, i wish to request that you sign your autographs on the manual(or box, if provided) for the kit you are giving away. keep on keepin on with the excellent work, guys
I want that first kit please! It’s thanks to you guys for getting me into gunpla if I hadn’t found your video by chance I would never of got into gunpla last year. Now since last May I have built 3 pg, 11 mg, 1 hmm zoid, 3 rg, and 5 hg. Thank you so much for introducing me to this hobby.
Syd, since you’re a Gouf fan, this question is for you. If I want to build a Gouf, and am interested in great detail, an awesome look, and fearsome accessories, which version would you suggest? The MG 2.0, the MG Custom, one of the HG variants like the ignited, or …? I’m interested in your opinion since you’ve seen many of these first-hand. Thanks!
both look like amazing kits, hope to finally win something in my life. would also be my first master grade, so probably won’t disappoint. Free Gunpla is best Gunpla.
Add international shipping to HLJ’s prices and you get something more competitive. HLJ is a better source for the bulk of your purchases, but BN has the physical product and is a good place for impulse buys. I picked up a couple of those gashapon gundam figures from there for the nephews, a purchase I never would have made otherwise.
Personally I don’t care for the Spinner made out of sponge.. Sorry.
Are you guys sure to give away a piece of Gunpla TV history?
If I would win it, I’d put it in a display case of its own and seal it.
For me, this is how it all started. And being nostalgic as I am, I’d shed a tear or two should I find the HG ZZ in the mail.
Hope whoever wins it will post some pictures of it on hobbylink.tv and will take good care of it.
And thanks guys, I’m right in the middle of rebuilding an entire engine, but now I want to review the series for the 6th time!!!
If only there where more then 24 hours in a day. LOL
First time posting a comment. Wanted to thank you guys for this series. I found it while looking for tutorials and been catching up on episodes for the past weeks (at 127 now).
You really made this hobby more approachable for me. I’m living in Germany and Gunpla is essentially unknown here. None of my friends share the hobby either. That’s why I really appreciate the news, kit showcases and tutorials you do. It makes me keep going.
I’ve been building an RG Freedom, HG Star Build Strike and HG Space Jahannam and am now working on an HG Kämpfer Amazing. I want to order my first MG this month. I thought MG might be too much or not worth the extra money, but your showcases of MG kits really made me change my mind. I am also considering getting a Frame Arms and Virtual On kit to expand my horizon beyond just Gunpla.
Long story short: Keep up the good work! I hope I can watch this show for many more years to come.
I would like to win that MG zaku
I got a question for Syd and Ryan: If there’s a zombie Apocalypse and you can only choose one weapon? what weapon will you choose/use in that matter? Will you survive?
There should be a blue effect part for the ice sword too, right? I missed it while watching somehow. Two months from now I’ll be building my own Dork Matter Exia, which is when the PWH timer will run out. 🙂
The G-Rec kits seem to have a liking for oversized hands… Speaking of hands, does anyone know the relative sizes of those 1/144 (Small/Medium/Large) and 1/100 EFSF hands? And those from other manufacturers (Kotobukiya/Hobby Base/etc.)? I’m looking to replace some 1/100 Cherudim hands, and 00 kits tends to have smaller-proportioned hands for their size. Thanks all!
Super bad want the Gunman! would also like the Zaku!!! the history of Gunpla would make me so happy to be a part of! Also would like to say thank you for the show. it is really great to see all the new stuff and to get to have answers to questions that I ask! Really hope that everything is going well for your company! I just recently purchased my first set of stuff from you all and am super excited to get all my orders in one package!
I feel kind of mad about the new MG DM Exia. To be honest, I don’t like the whole edgy black and red color scheme. I much prefer the amazing Exia’s. Also, the fact that they modified the neck piece to accommodate the chest light was just amazing. I just wish they did that for the original MG Exia. As of now I can’t even say there’s that definite Exia kit. The RG had that god awful front skirt, the mg looked plain and it had that poor structural integrity, and the HGs.. those god awful purple things. Well sorry for the long rant :I More power to gunpla TV guys
Gonna love getting that first gunpla that you build on the show. That gunpla is the reason why I start building gundams. I was really depressed for weeks and trying to find a way to take my mind off of it. Then I remember my cousins talking about gunpla and I was interested on it when I was kid. However I don’t have the courage to build one. I thought it was difficult to do and will just waste my money if I mess it up. So one day, I try to look on youtube how to make gunpla and saw your channel. Your tutorials is really helpful and now I have more than 20 gunpla which I just only started last year. Now I’m doing customizing as well and just waiting for winter to end here at Canada. So please random number pick me.:D
Hey man I know exactly how you feel. I actually started building a year ago to help me go through some tough times. Like you, I was afraid to try it because I thought I would mess up big time. Everything I learn from Syd and Ryan really got me motivated. Now I have growing collection, starting customization and doing photo shoots with my gunpla. BTW what was your first gunpla? Mine is the Wing Gundam Fenice.
Haha, funny you guys mentioned garage sale and old man as the most weirdest place I have seen gunpla sold was at an Estate Sale. I guess you are never too old to build gunpla.
BTW Syd, shout out from Canada and welcome back haha.
2 pieces of gunpla history… the MG zaku, that now can be compered to the newer HG, and the MG guncanon that’s part of the Gunpla tv beginning congrats to the winner and great episode guys 😀
Older MG Gundams are far removed from the newer ones. I just built a MG Sengoku Astray and I found it to be far more solid than the older MGs I did about 6-8 years ago. But those older ones do have some charm to them.
Great episode! Each time I watch an episode, I go and check what else I can add to my private warehouse. Syd, you’re heading to Canada? Which city? Free delivery? 😉
more like 50 shades of exia… they need to work on MG releases for the other 00 mobile suits as well… and that jigen haoh school winner comment is a move by the Build Burning gundam lol looking forward to more episodes!
that “Jigen Haoh School Seiken Zuki” is one of Kamiki Sekai’s move from Gundam Build Fighters Try. the more you know.
that Elf Bullock looks good but that alt mode looks wierd and that Gaeon looks so badass. maybe I should start watching Reconguista because most suit design are amazing.
The Elf Bullock doesn’t look too bad when transformed, having second thoughts about the kit, might have to pick it up, those kits are so important, very generous of you guys to give them away, hope they find a good home, great episode as always, Gunpla TV is the best!! 😀
Did you guys see the denial gundam?? I hope there is extra parts to get the purple hair wing effect.. Hope to see a review of the sxdxg SD kit and star wining gundam
Hi Syd and Ryan
Great Episode as Always, wish you could feature your adventures at Gunpla Expo 2015, and if Syd is really going back to Canada, Bon Voyage, we will miss you
Awh you guys should watch the Gundam Build fighters series. Its pretty good in my opinion but whatever floats your boat. Good episode guys and have an awesome day!
Hey guys nice kits you showed this week
why is the dark matter so F ugly?
Also I don’t have any gunpla to build for at least 2 weeks so I wish I could win something.
Take care!
the sengoku astray winner in last week’s episode 167 was saying a line in gundam bf try. i need the guncannon in my collection, so thanks hlj 🙂 would appreciate if you can include an action base 3 in it with some sort of writings that it was the first gundam used in your show and autographs 🙂 thanks a lot, cant wait for my prize! 🙂
Awesome! I just caught up on Gunpla TV! Saw this for the first time back in September 2014. I love the show, and look forward to more to come. Keep up the good work! 😀
OMG i’m totally miss this video. OMG those awesome MGs from UC timeline…OMG Can I have one? :o. Whoever win one those is really the luckiest guy in the universe !!!!!! 😮
My non-transient interest in the Transient Gundam is overpowering, Gundam Portent has a lot of potential, and Gundam The End ends my hatred for the original Gundam Deathscythe design.
Good try, but as Inigo Montoya says, “You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” A portent is a warning, a prediction of bad fortune to befall someone. The word you’re thinking of is “potent.” But A for effort. 🙂
Great episode of Gunpla TV syd and Ryan. And I’m sure that with the HG ZZ gundam will be passed to a museum in the near future to apart of the Syd Gunpla collection? Maybe I’ve lost it… I don’t know.
Hey Syd and Ryan.
I just built my first two kits, a HG Aile strike gundam and a MG AStray red frame. they are really fun to build.
I have a question, the arms and the legs of my Astray red frame keeps falling off very easily when y try to pose them, it makes posing it extremely difficult.
Do you have any tips to solve that?
Thanks
Applying a very thin layer of
1.) extra thin plastic cement (the watery kind),
2.) super-glue,
or
3.) clear nail polish
to the joints.
Give them a few hours to cure, then re-assemble and you should be good to go. If you need to add more layers, add more layers, but always test the fit after every layer. You don’t want the joint to become too tight.
Wazzup Syd and Ryan. Wish you guys fine. Hoping to buy another set of Gunplas with HLJ. I would love to be part of your show. Planning to visit Japan soon so I might drop by HLJ sometime. Keep up the good work. See you soon.
Hi!
The kits are really cool….When i saw that this episode included the Exia Dark Matter, i was really excited because i’m a Gundam Build Fighters fan and i loved the Exia in the episode. I really enjoy watching you guys tell us about the new Gundam that is coming out and built ones. I hope i win the prize in the end but if i don’t, no worries :P.
Good Luck on your up-coming episodes
Great episode guys. You guys are always motivation for me to pick a kit and start building. Can’t explain how hard that is.sometimes. Haha. Keep it up and thanks for your great work
Syd-chan breathed a sigh of relief as he crossed the threshold to Hobby Link High School; he was on time! “Phew,” he panted once in the school courtyard. Shooting a grateful look to the gatekeeper, he hurriedly finished his toast (except for the corner Ryan-senpai had eaten; that he threw into the trash bin with a look of mild revulsion) and made his way to class. The first subject of the day: Gate-marking.
Syd-chan knew only the very basics of Gate-marking. That is to say, he knew that Gates were the primary defense mechanism of the Gunpla, and that in order to effectively defeat them, one had to penetrate – or “mark” using specialized weapons and techniques – their Gates. He was excited to learn the how and why.
“Syd-chan! I missed you!”
Syd-chan turned around to see his best friend, Lindsey-kun, sprinting down the hallway with the same frantic vitality as she always possessed. Lindsey was an exchange student from the States. After the Gunpla began their invasion, she found herself cut off from her family overseas and decided to enroll full-time as a student at Hobby Link High. Syd-chan couldn’t be happier, though he also felt great sympathy for her lack of a family connection.
Syd-chan planted his feet and prepared for her full-power glomp. “I’m glad to see you, too, Lindsey-kun. Who do you suppose our new Gate-marking teacher is this year? I heard the last one left to become a GunPal.”
“Yeah, so did I,” Lindsey-kun answered in a hushed voice. “Apparently it was really sudden. I don’t think they got a chance to replace him before the school year started.”
“So who’s going to be our Gate-marking teacher?” Syd-chan wondered idly as the two of them entered class–
“LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” came the furious battle cry before a blackboard eraser made contact directly with Syd-chan’s forehead.
“L-l-l-late!? I thought we were right on time!” cried Syd-chan in a panic as he recovered from the blow with Lindsey-kun’s help. Then he saw who had thrown the eraser, and he felt the blood drain from his face.
The rolled up sleeves.
The polished dome of a head.
The mass of muscles writhing beneath the thin veneer of cloth.
The grin. The wide, confident, slightly-manic grin.
“K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Kouchou!?!?!?” both of them cried at the same time.
Indeed it was. Their kouchou, their principal. Scott T. Hards-kouchou, the legendary GunPal himself.
to be continued
in
Hyper GunPal Syd-Chan!
Episode 3 – Shifting Plates
hi ryan and syd, i’ve been watching your episodes since day 1, but i didn’t realize since recently that you guys been giving kits away. ‘coz i kinda move on to the next episode few minutes after the video ends, LOL my bad. well i guess it aint to late to try winning one of your prizes. cool stuff though. im already excited with dark matter, im already thinking of custom painting the kit, once i get my hands on it.
ps. have a safe trip btw ryan.. looking forward to your next episodes.
….wow finally I got to get in the website. Phew it was similar to “O why won’t you move” Lol. Anyways thanks for the piece history and it will auction for a million
. I guarantee it.
Hey Ryan and Syd keep up the good work. I just would like to say that the HG 1/144 Kshatriya has become one of my all time favorite kits. I actually bought 3 of them and made a 3 suit squad, by the time I got to the third one it only took me 3 hours to build it. I also got the Kshatriya repaired hg kit and I took the support arms for the shoulders and put them on one of the regular Kshatriya because I noticed they seemed to be a little stronger. Just curious is there anyway to order any of the posters that are hanging on the wall in the background, they look really cool.
Following the G-Self Base, I present the handpainted Build Burning Head Display. I had a few issues with it. The parts are really tight-fitted so when I testbuild them I could…
I’m pretty excited about this kit myself, but if this kit isn’t under-gated (I’m assuming it’s gold plated given the price) I want nothing to do with it. Now if only Bandai would announce a MG Kshatriya…
Thanks mate. I think perhaps it could have done with another layer, but I didn’t want to over spray anything. Shame the picture’s cut the head and feet off lol.
I have been looking at Jegan suits, and i am thinking thyey would be awesome if the RE line would make 1/100 scales of these, they may be grunt suits but they look way much better then other grunt suits, except the unicorn ones nothing beats the awsomeness of the mighty jesta!!
so how much fun was that? i ordered custom color water slides for when i finally get to work on that beast. Im doing an odd color scheme and the HWS build but not for a while yet.
Surely the best part of this kit is the fact that the Ion Blaster has a handle peg in the correct position so that it can be held correctly and not pointing to one side like the two versions that were created for the original and subsequent issued versions.
Hi,
Most of the model is built.
The PE sheet is very weel done, with lots of details to add.
I think the instructions page for the PE is not that great, as it shows the…
There’s the God Finger + Heat end that everyone was waiting for him to do.
After watching this episoded I ordered a full cloth crossbone gundam x1
and come onnnnnn MG Denial gundam !!! or atleast a 1/100 hg
