Hi all I am really hoping that someone in this group can either provide me with or provide me with a website where I can get the parts I’m missing for my MG Double X. I’m missing A 18, 19, & 20. I don’t care if I have to pay for the parts or shipping I just need those parts to build my kit.
The 1/100 MG Full Armor Gundam Ver.Ka (GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT Ver.) is a monster of a kit and we want to do our best to show you all about it. Syd takes you through what you can expect from both the ‘naked’ Mobile […]
This kit is beyond amazing!I am chomping at the bit to get my hands on this guy (hed be my very first MG VER KA ever) and I’d like to start off on a serious heavy hitter!
Any way, fantastic review as always Syd and Ryan. 🙂
Its nice to know we’re getting another ver ka. I’m looking forward for the day that a Char Zaku II 3.0 come our way, by the way thanks for reading my comments…more power guys, Tod rulezzzzz
MG Full Armor is a nice kit but it is daunting with all those pieces…..to build, paint, and decal would take some serious time. I still want one, just unsure whether it will be HG or MG. Great build and solid review team.
Nice Full Armor even its more full cloth and weapons and armor :), just begin to build mg sinanju and waiting to see the rg version i think it will match with his big brother, as always good show guys
You guys are lucky, I can’t play Pokémon GO coz I have a Windows Phone… due to the lack of app support on Windows, I’ll be getting myself an iPhone SE soon just to play the game!!!
great episode, keep up the great work. And say hi to Todd for me :3
At first I wasn’t really into this thing, but after seeing this video I think I might have to change my opinion. And now I’m waiting eagerly for the Psycho Zaku.
Another episode of Gunpla TV bring another moment of joy, and Pokemon Go also brings just as much fun! I’ve played for just 3 days and i’m already level 12 and caught 1/3rd of the current pokedex.
Aww I feel sorry for Todd, I hope next month will let him satisfy his need for a kit to build. I know the RG Sinanju is definitely something I am getting.
I’m actually part of the minority, and I think the base MS of the FA Gundam Thunderbolt Ver. looks really good. It’s really detailed and although it looks similar to the RX-78-2, it’s new color palette is a really nice one, and there are many differences as well. I love the more blocky aesthetic, even more blockier than the already block RX-78-2, literally this thing is made of quadrilaterals.
I also like the emergency pod, it’s no core fighter, but it’s still cool looking, and it’s certainly more complex compared to the regular core fighter. I also love how sturdy it is, and how they used the landing gear to reinforce the connection. The plastic strips of plastic that cover the joints is obviously the hardest part of the build, but a new challenge is fun as well as long as nothing goes wrong! I also love the options for the eyes, I love it when a kit has a solid eye piece. I also just absolutely love how this entire kit was engineered. It’s got so many cool gimmicks to attach the Full Armor and it’s done so well! It’s sure one hell of a sturdy kit too, but attach him to a stand and he looks so beautiful! But once you open everything up and equip it all, he looks like an absolute beast. It’s just so majestic.
Man I was just getting into Iron Blooded Orphans and wanting to build a Barbatos, then I saw Thunderbolt December Sky now all I can think about is the Full Armor Gundam lol. I would really like to build this kit, its got alot of cool gimmicks especially the way the escape pod fits in there. Great episode guys!!!
Sinanjuuuuu!! greaaat show and awesome Full Armor Gundam version Ka Thunderbolts Version (what a mouthful that is) love to see a live build of the RG and am curious as to the December release. Keep em coming.
what was with that weird buzzing on the audio? Near the end of the video i heard what sounded like someone groaning in pain :P, weird. Great episode as always guys.
Hi guys, thanks for the episode and for the Thunderbolt review, can’t wait for it and for the RG Sinanju. Hey Ryan, not sure about your wife but mine also does not carry a nail clipper with her. She does however carry a couple of lipsticks, a tape measure, a brush, chewing gum, mints, tissues, mosquito repellent, our daughter’s bottle of water and a bunch of other stuff, obviously besides her purse and her mobile. She also thinks that my recently finished HG FA-78 Thunderbolt is cute, how can I not love her! 🙂 What will she think when she sees the MG Thunderbolt?
Another great episode guys, keep up the fantastic content. In regards to Ryan’s comment about the nail clippers, I do carry one in my backpack. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, I meet a lot of people both in and out of work. I want to keep my nails short as I don’t want to dig into my friends’ or clients’ skin when I am interacting with them. Secondly, my nail clipper has additional tools like a mini Swiss army knife. It came in handy during one of my weekly 10km runs. I used the mini knife function to pry open the shoe lace knot to return blood circulation on my friend’s foot. I never realize how handy this dollar store item would be.
I have to say, the MG Thunderbolt Gundam is one of the best Bandai model kits I have ever built. It has risen straight to the top along with the Sazabi Ver.Ka and Acguy.
It’s complex, great looking and super unique, just like those other 2 kits.
If people haven’t built the MG Thunderbolt, Sazabi Ver.Ka, Nu Ver.Ka or the Acguy they’re missing out!
Hi Robodaz! Sorry for the delay in replying 🙂
You are going to laugh at how I did the tyres, I actually have a slightly roughed up concrete on my patio and this is what I used to achieve the effect. I scuffed them along the concrete to eliminate the shine, and create the markings that appear as if they have been raced on.
For the paint, I only used a Tamiya TS spray can, no clear coat, no real prep. My key to the finish is heating the spray can up in warm-hot water so when the paint is shot, it glides on smooth and has next to no orange peel. I didn’t want a super glossy finish to the bodywork, as in the 70’s the cars weren’t as well presented as they are today and this was one key thing I want to replicate on all my classic F1 models. 🙂
We are still heavily distracted by the 1/100 MG Full Armor Gundam Ver.Ka (GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT Ver.) and if you haven’t seen it yet you really should. Check out the Unboxing here! Even with that huge Ver. Ka box […]
Aww come on guys, Alabama doesn’t do that anymore lol. Can’t wait for the Full Armor review, is probably one of my most anticipated kits this year. Great show as always. I do have one non Gunpla question. Do you guys know what is going on with the Revoltech Deadpool? It got announced and put up for PO but just kinda disappeared. Keep up the great work!
I was watching the episode and as soon as Todd started talking about his 1/100 Kimaris Trooper my doorbell rang with my 1/100 Kimaris Trooper and MG Full Armour Thunderbolt Gundam arrived.
Whether or not it was a sign from “The Todd” himself I started on the Kimaris right away!
That Kimaris looks really nice the way it looks like a charging knight (would look awesome as a “Black Knight”. Great show as always guys, can’t wait for the next one!
4 the turn X!!!! nice show as allways, it would be nice that also review incredible kits as the O 🙂 the bricks are sexy 8D, and another thing it would be great if the watter decals shows also as addon when you purchase a kit without it. Keep going good work guys!!
Guys, I know how it feels not being able to play Pokémon Go, I have a Windows Phone 🙁 but I’m getting myself a phone with android just to play it soon!
Can’t wait to see the Full Armour built! Really want the kit myself but with the import taxes I’d have to pay I’m not sure if it’s worth it yet. Also, the Turn X! I already have the MG Turn A with the Moonlight Butterfly expansion, having the Turn X to go along with it would be amazing!
Just ordered the FA Gundam Thunderbolt kit and now just waiting for the VF-31S Siegfried to turn up before completing my shipment. Looking forward to the review.
The 1/100 MG Full Armor Gundam Ver.Ka (GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT Ver.) is gorgeously awesome, though saying the name a couple times fast would probably make me straight pass out. Can’t wait to buy one from you guys, just gotta wait on that paycheck!
The Turn X is so freaking awesome, too. Looks like one hell of a panel-lining job!
Oh my god that MG FA Gundam Thunderbolt Ver. Ka looks sexy as hell. The sheer amount of bulk, power and dakka put into this thing can be called mech porn in my book. The Kimaris Trooper is one of my favorite kits, but I personally prefer the regular Kimaris more just due to it’s bulky design and awesome shoulderpads. I love them both though, and i’m probably going to get them both in HG form (already have the Kimaris). But whoo weh when I saw that lance, my god it’s just so large, long and streamlined with those boosters to help thrust the actual lance into the enemy…
…now that I think about it. Ryan would love this thing… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The Gundam Local Type was something I was quite interested in, I love the looks of Origin kits and this would be the first Gundam from the line. Also, I really like the Gundam Ground Type, and since the Local Type looked so similar to the ground type, I was instantly interested. I agree that the markings really help elevate the look. The Local Type looks quite bland from a straightbuild, and panel lining/decaling would make him look a lot better. Good thing I always panel line and always put on clear stickers. I like the shield a lot, not only does it store the beam sabers for you if you want to equip it, but it can also be planted on the ground similar to the Gundam Ground Type’s shield, and act as some cover.
Syd, that’s not the Gundam X, that’s the Turn X, which isn’t a Gundam. I am a commenter and I correct mistakes that I see. Beep boop.
The Kimaris Trooper and the RX-78-1 get almost the same screentime before they get pwned. Poor them.
Pokemon Go is weird and imprecise. The avatar doesn’t always move, or it moves when you don’t, and it’s hard to tell where a Pokemon actually is. I don’t have a data plan, so I only play over wifi, and I play because the library where I work is a PokeStop.
I still dont like the Kimaris! i’ll never will! on the other hand, UC suits FTW!
That local type is growing on me and what’s not to be said about the FA gundam from thunderbolt.
turn x looks cool, but are the giveaway kits pre-built? i wanna build!
great episode btw. love the 1/100 kimaris trooper and i’ve wanted a good non-zeon suit that has a beam saber to fight another origin kit with.
Awesome episode as always! That kimaris trooper looks insane, especially with the chest boosters¡!! Anyways, im also really excited about non zeon origin kits! What do you guys think will come next?
Gotta love Bandai for throwing some low key rep out for fans of the 08th MS Team. The design of that new HG local type gundam is right up my alley; bump it up to MG status for some enhanced articulation and detail and I’d grab that faster than a backhand slap from Bright Noa himself.
on that side note, tho…
time to go re-watch me some Turn A now; been too long, and the X demands its tribute
Hi guys… what will be the future of MG’s? I have seen a lot of 1/100 lately but very few MG. Not that the IBO and RE aren’t great but I think Bandai is slowing the pace of MG’s.
Last episode was the third time you guys read one of my comments! I don’t even mind that I haven’t won anything. I feel like a special guest commenter at this point. The name is pronounced just like aerodynamic, but with a mike instead of a mic to answer you question lol. If anyone is interested, I’ll post a shot of the new Macross Mecha Colle kit along with some of the Battleship Yamato ones on the show us your collection group. Thanks again guys!
Instead of giving away kits every week and focusing mostly on Bandai and Gundam, could you build other kits from Kotobukiya/Hasegawa/Plum/Max Factory/etc., and then re-list the built kits on HLJ as special mark-down items (the same way you do B-Grade damaged items)? Or you could even sell them as mark-UP items with like a “Certified Built by Syd/Lindsay/etc.” autograph or something. I dunno.
I know some of those kits aren’t produced in nearly the same numbers and/or frequency as Gundam, so it would allow you to show them on video while still getting them to customers.
Just a thought. I’m mostly just here for the Turn X anyway. 😛
The Kimaris Trooper is cool and all BUT I simply cant stand his pilot, Galeio, so annoying and lame lol. None the less being in the hands of The Todd makes it all better.
It has been long while since I have seen hidden thrusters on any gundam’s chest. The only suits I recall which I has that gimmick was the GP01 and GP01 Full Burnern.
Wow! So glad to be back after a while and seeing brand new episodes for me to indulge in! I have a question: Can you please do a review on the P Bandai Waterproof Gundam when it is released? I, along with quite a few people, are curious as to whether the Waterproof Gundam is just a remold of the Local Type Gundam with a ton of stickers or a new mold with good part separation. Thanks! Great show as always and I’m looking forward to more! 🙂
Nice episode again and again guys! keep on updating us with the upcoming kits. That Turn X still is one of the best looking MG with the cool back pack gimmick! Hope that I’ll be the lucky one! can’t wait for the next episode!
dude, that turn X would go great with my Turn A gundam metal action figure. great episode, and i am hoping you have some pre-order Barbados Lupus still when paycheck hits.
Ah man! I am a huge advocate for Turn A as an amazing series more people need to see! I’ve been wanting to get that MG Turn X for a while now! I’d love to paint that thing up~
Hey Syd and Ryan, great Episode as always. Love the MG RX-78 Tbolt Ver Ka, I just ordered it and I’m super stoked to be able to build a new kit close to the same time. Keep up the the awesome content. I have a question for you guys. I was rewatching old episodes from the beginning and was hoping if we could do another Syd Top 5 Master Grade, and a viewers choice so Syd can build it please. Also maybe A Todd Top 5 too. Thanks!!
We here are just as excited as you Gunpla fans at home and couldn’t wait to get our hands on the newest Ver. Ka MG kit. Of course, we want to share our excitement — and the kit — with everyone so here is an […]
