We are really busy with the Golden Week, or rather, busy getting ready for it, but still we wanted to pump out an episode of Gunpla TV for everyone. Enjoy the plamo while we enjoy some well-earned days […]
denial is fine but i prefer the guntank :). Loving the grimgerde, when i first saw it introduced to us for the first time, i was like, this is really cool,yeah they’re gonna make a 1/100 soon, i just have to wait
1/100 Blue Destiny Unit 1 when? Efreet needs somebody to fight. Why, Bandai? WHYYYYYYYYYYY? They always leave these huge, obvious gaps in their lineups.
Have you heard of and do you like the Mythbusters? They have a Youtube channel group Called Tested and they’ve been talking about building a couple Gunpla Kits.
The RE/100 Efreet makes me sad because it’s another RE kit that has those crappy HG hands. They gave the Nightingale the emotion manipulator hands(which they aren’t using enough of in MG kits), so why not the other REs? Make it happen Bandai, right meow!
A bit disappointed that I didn’t win the Rinascita. Oh well, there’s always next time.
That Efreet looks awesome, it’s a bit of a shame that it’s articulation isn’t great, but at least it still looks cool. Hoping that I get that Guntank, the denial is cool too I guess. XP
I wonder if you guys will stream/ build the RG Qan[T] when it comes out, I can’t wait to get it. Also I’m in Denial about winning this time but I Gun-Tank you anyways for the opportunity.
i see that you did a comparison of the Gouf r35 and the gouf revive, but Tod can you do a comparison with the gouf custom (http://hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun) articulation i think it is obsolete, it on look, in my opinion it look better then all. Great episode and thank you for the reviews
That Efreet and Grimgerde…
Especially the Grimgerde, That is one of the most awesome Frame in the IBO
Efreet however, seems to be short of long-range weapon there
Wow I thought the Efreet was gonna be kinda plain but it looks awesome. Im pretty much a MG/PG guy but it kinda makes me want to take a second look at the RE/100 kits.
Also my Ver KA Ball came today from HLJ! Time to customize it into something crazy!
The Efreet has sorta grown on me since they announced it. And I never made the connection between Final Fantasy’s Ifrit (in the English translations) and Efreet!
Congrats to Ryan and another great episode. I was waiting for someone would make a Thunderbird reference and it came on smooth. The Shizuoka Hobby Show, what model kits that Bandai and other companies are coming out, I can’t wait? Just for now, I am waiting for the Iron Blooded Orphan’s Gundam Astaroth to be release and you guys doing a review on it. As always keep up the good work and stay awesome!
Hahah, an episode is always better with a bit more Todd =D
Really hoping to get the Denial if I get any of them, I already have the Try Burning Gundam and it would be fantastic to make a scene with them! Sorry Guntank, I was just never really that into you…
Man, the Gouf R35 has a such a cool design. I think it’ll become the gateway into Zaku-style mechas for me. Welp, I figure I need to save up another 1275 yen then.
Oh and if I’m selected, I’d appreciate the Denial. Unless the other person wants it since I have one, but my dog shredded my box for it which kills my collector’s soul and I don’t think I’ll ever repurchase the denial just for the box. It’s a great kit and all but I don’t think I’ll use any of it’s parts for any custom models, so it’d be a waste of prime nihon plastic.
Leo is on the list of likely RE100s coming up. That’s probably the best we’re ever going to get. They’ve came through with the Efreet, so maybe we’ll get all of the suits in that one promo picture. If they go in order that they placed the suits on that picture, the next one will be GM Sniper II or Xi.
I love the original Zeonframes and I would lineup for a new MG Zaku V3.0 for sure. The last great was the Geara Doga. I am often looking at hlj to find the Zaku-type-kit of my choice, but they are all kind of aged.
Actually how outdated is the PG Zaku, since BANDAI went a long way of developement since it came out?
I not intend to build the same Gundam over and over again and end up with 10 different Zaku-II, or different types, wich are almost the same with just another weaponpack. But i absolutly have to have one.
I thought that Shizouka was during the last weekend of May so unfortunately I arranged my trip to Tokyo on the wrong dates, just missing the event so I’m really looking forward to your broadcast. In the mean time I hope that I can win the gun tank ^_^
Hi guys! Thanks for this episode but really looking forward for the next one to see the review of the new Freedom:-) The Efreet in now listed in my shopping list, really looks like a great kit. Will definitely get it! Thanks again guys.
Hi guys,
Great show thanks. Personally, I like the Gouf R35. Way much cooler than the revive and has 2 shields. Just for you Syd, I made a Canadian version of the Gouf R35 posted on the site. Just don’t know if you’ll be able to see it or not.
If I win, may I ask for the RX-78-2 Revive poster behind your seat instead? I really wish to have the RX-78-2 poster.
Thanks.
Bob
Man, that Grimgerde is easily one of my new favorite mobile suits. and you keep asking for a MG Char’s Zaku 2 3.0, I’m still waiting for a MG Justice! C’mon Bandai! We have two MG Freedoms now! Please!!?
Also, hope I win either of those kits, they look awesome! Love you guys, keep up the great work <3
Classic Guntank!
Hope to see more MG FA photos soon.
Wonder what’s next for mg. I really hope they will finish the assault mode for v2 ver.ka
Without the armour is just not feels complete 🙁 they have it for hg, why can’t mg?
Great review as always. What kind of expectations do you have for the upcoming RE/100 Kshatriya in terms of articulation and gimmicks? An awesome review would be to compare it with the HGUC version!
hi guys is me writing to you hlj , i queries about how the lack of race diversity in your company
when i look through you 200 episode and other episode,my question is do there have orther race that work in your company .we should show how diversity that people that play gunpla not just european or white people
that is my concern
Hi, and thanks for the comment! As we are located in Japan, the majority of our staff is Japanese. Gunpla TV, however, is an English-language program, and so is produced by our English speaking staff.
Cann’t wait to get a grimgerde, it looks awesome. I am a. It concerned with the thunderbolt full armor gundam, though. The preview shots do not have the joint coverings on the elbows and knees. I thought that was what makes this version different from the regular full armor. Hopefully they will appear on the model when it is revealed at the hobby show later this month.
just watched the Guntank in action in the origins movie.
Young Casval (Char) sure got some balls. like, you will never be as badass as Casval owning 4 Guntanks while holding his sister on his lap.
Tell me how to get high on gundam guys, just like Todd.. Do I have to work in the same kind of place like HLJ to get as high as Todd ?
JK 😀
Hope I win some kit :p
Great episode guys! Very excited about the MG Thunderbolt rx-78 full armor. I hope too win the hg denial gundam,I have been wanting that one for a while.
Nice episode guys but somehow sad without Ryan (congratz on twins!). I hope he will be back soon and I’m looking forward to see new stuff shown at Shizuoka Hobby Show! 😀
Hey Ryan, Syd and Todd, thanks for all the great shows you’ve done so far, especially the grade explanation ones as they helped me pick out my first gunpla kits, the HG Barbatos and Gusion Rebake. Sadly they weren’t from HLG, but after a bit of research its clear that not only do you have a great reputation, but you guys are cheaper overall than anyone else I can find for the UK, so all my orders will be with you guys from now on.
Just got 2 questions for you guys and the community, for my next lot of kits I’d like to do a top coat and panel wash, I know Ryan really likes his enamel panel wash, but I was wondering if acrylic paint would work just as well if watered down enough, and if it does work which gives the better effect, enamel or acrylic?
And probably more for Syd and Todd, for my next lot of gunpla I’ve decided to go with a few kits from the 00 line, so I was thinking the Exia and the 00 Raiser in HG…But they do come in RG…the price is good and they look doable with my skills…and I really do like the look of the RG QuanT…is it worth jumping from HG to RG if you are confident in your skills to do it?
Also send my thanks to Brian from Boss Builds, he managed to answer the question I was struggling with on how to layer different types of paints/top coats on ep4 of boss builds, I had been struggling with that for days!
Great episode as always, looking at the Grimgerde it seems like its too stocky? or just not thin and ‘sharp’ enough, either way cant wait for next time.
Great Episode guys, at the moment I’m in the middle of building my first PG, the red frame astray. It will look awesome once finished. Would be great if they announce a zaku II char version 3.0, but maybe there might be more 2.0 kits as there are a lot of them that need an upgrade.
Great, now I have to decide between the HG and 1/100 Grimgerde.
I’m also looking at the Gundam the Origin as my 1st MG, even though it’s slightly more expensive than the Freedom 2.0. I just love those accessories and gimmicks, and I don’t have a representation of the Gundam yet.
Oh I already knew about the RG kits (although I had hoped the Qan[t] would be release near the beginning of the month), my question was whether it would be worth making the jump from having only done 2 HG kits, to doing 3 RGs. I’ve actually already gone an ordered the Exia and 00 Raiser in RG and preordered QanT, but thanks for replying anyway.
The first Master Grade kit in four months has arrived and it’s a 2.0 version of the beloved Freedom Gundam. Check out the box contents and how that compares to its Freedom Gundam predecessor.
Its been almost three years since the MG Aile Strike Gundam Ver. RM was released, we get an updated Freedom but there still isn’t an MG Justice or Providence Gundam?
I haven’t had the opportunity to build any MGs yet, partly due to budget, but also because I have limited display space. How does the build experience differ from that of the RG? That’s the only version of a Freedom I have (the Strike Freedom).
I’ve finally joined the airbrush master race! I’m going to buy paints and thinners, then it’s time to practice just on paper.
I’m thinking of starting with lacquer paints, any…
i used the good old fashion tamiyas but prob with that stuff it scratches easily so you have to pledge it and wait a while but spraying with laquers dont forget to wear a gas mask that stuff is toxic but have fun with it keep a good distance away from the parts not too close or ull overspray n not too far so u cant do any good precise painting
Was that Tamiya Acrylic? My local hobby shop has a decent selection of them but I don’t know if you need to thin acrylic like you would for lacquer paints.
Thanks for the tips for spraying, I’ll be sure to keep them in mind when I’m setting up.
Finally, Nick has joined the party!!! 😛 Congratulations on your purchase!
The Tamiya acrylic paints need to be thinned. You can use X-20A or Isopropanol Alcohol. If you choose to use the latter one, make sure it’s at least 90%.
All paints scratch, so it is advisable to clear all paints….
There is no problem in using enamels in the airbrush,…[Read more]
Thinners…. As I read it. I got alot of problems during my past projects. Using Vallejo acryliccolors, i thought using thinner and cleaner from Vallejo should be an emprovement to just using water. But i figured, that thinner and cleaner kinda reacts with water, causing a total block of the colorflow inside the pistol. Just using water, I have no…[Read more]
I’m pretty rough when it comes to airbrushing. $30NZD airbrush sets and a nice medium sized cheap chinese compressor. I decant tamiya spray cans into the hopper and it stretches out the cost of the cans as they can be expensive. The outcome isn’t bad and it’s great for experimenting. I use a strong Resene paint stripper for cleaner for all types…[Read more]
For what it’s worth – I use a wide range of paint types in a lot of different applications which includes fine scale modeling/gunpla. I almost always use the thinner and paint from the same brand. I find that works the best for me. I use enamel a lot for base coats – needs a good long time to dry and needs a sealing top coat if you are going to…[Read more]
Plenty of Plamo is coming your way in episode 202. Ryan busts open that Masterpiece Liger while Syd and Todd look at the first HGs from the Thunderbolt anime as well as two 1/100 scale kits that just […]
I am so excited for the 1/100 Grimgerde and RE1/100 Efreet custom to be built and shown next episode 😀 Hopefully the 1/144 Gundam will also get a 1/100 treatment.
I hope I win that MG kit! I don’t actually have that one and GBF is my favorite series of Gundam, I have all the HG kits ^_^
and you pronounce the second part like “Rin-ah-sh-ta”
and for a little more info on the kit’s name:
‘Fenice’ means Phoenix in Italian and refers to the fact that the ‘Gunpla Builder/Pilot’ kept rebuilding and improving it time after time, like a phoenix rising.’Rinascita’,also Italian, meaning Rebirth. The overall name of the Gunpla is a reference to the Phoenix being reborn from the ashes.
202- Nice…. That site that Sid was talking about might have been Myspace. That was the big social media site before FB. I like the thunderbolt Anime series. Can you do the new MG thunderbolt reviews when they are released? Thanks again HLJ, and hopefully, I win that MG!
Congratulations Ryan! I’m from Italy, to answer your question on the pronunciation of “fenice” until the “i” your pronunciation is pretty good, for the “ce” sound is similar to the “che” of chestnut. On google traslate the audio pronunciation it’s acceptable https://translate.google.it/?hl=it&tab=wT#it/en/fenice . Good episode as always, i’m very curious to see the liger and the Freedom 2.0 =D
Wow! I am not a fan of HG but the Origin and the Thunderbolt Ver. kits are really good looking.
Nice review as always!
Also, I would like to have that MG Rinascita on my hands! (^^^)
Excellent show guys. I’m really excited about the FA-78 Ver. Ka MG that got spoiled recently. It’s nice to get a MG of a suit that isn’t from SEED.
Also when Ryan pointed out the little gold men in the Zoids it made me wonder, do you guys remember zoids model kits from the 90s? I seem to remember having a white brontosaurus but I’m not sure. Here I thought I was a Gundam only kinda guy but maybe I’ve had Zoids kits for a lot longer?
Like always, Great episod.
Congratulations Ryan, great news to hear that you expanding you family 🙂 Hope everything will go well 🙂 I like the Full Armor Gundam, I Like bulky suites.
The Fenice Finascita would be a nice one for the collection 🙂
Hi. I’m Italian but it’s almost impossible to me to explain how to pronounce an Italian word in english!
I Try.
“Fenice” sounds like “phoenix” but remove the final “X” and add the sound “Che” at the end. The same “Che” of “Che Guevara”.
So it’s like “Phoeni”+”Che”.
The problem is the accent because english speaking people always put it in the wrong place. So even if you say “phoeni-Che” you will probably put the accent in the wrong place.
I don’t even try to explain how to say “Rinascita” or it will took me days! But You say it quite well.
If someone is interested the translation is “Phoenix Rebirth”. It’s wrong in English and it’s wrong in Italian too. Japanese guys have big problems with “Engrish” and with “Itarian” too. In Italian a better name could be “Fenice rinata” but it sounds horrible! 😛
Ha, already got my surprise Syd, and thanks I promptly used it in the Gundam sale you had on to get some Nice G-Reco kits (ehehehehe Elf Bullock) and (finally) a Barbatos.
Now I just need to wait for the Nobell restock and pray I get one and I’m all good!
…so we are getting two more workers at HLJ? That means even more kits shown and made right? Congrats! I can’t wait for my 2 month old to start helping me out with my kits too.
Another great episode :] I like the designs of the Thunderbolt kits a lot, but i wont be picking up the high-grade kits, instead im waiting for the master-grade versions that will be coming later on 😀 Im getting both the full armor gundam and zaku
I am just a bit surprised that you guy don’t have snapchat yet. I think it would be a great addition to the list of social media specifically for the Hobby Show coming up. I am looking forward to see what 1/700 IJN kits Hasegawa and Aoshima will be releasing! Winning the Rinascita would be awesome as I am visiting a friend in Italy later this year and it will be a great house warming present.
Congratz on the twins ryan and really looking forward to next week with the 1/100 efreet and freedom 2.0, hopefully unboxing or maybe todd might surprise us like last week with graze ein!!
ooh! sexy rinascita. i definitely want to get the thunderbolt kits once all the bills are caught up. keep going guys, and Syd, make sure Todd knows we haven’t forgiven him for letting us down on episode 200
I think Bandai’s biggest reveal for the Shizuoka Hobby Show was already leaked. I won’t spoil it for people who want to be surprised, but if you want to see it, go on any of those blogs that post scans and custom kits like Gundamguy or Gundamkitscollection.
Nice episode, I really like the thunderbolt kits even though i have never built one. Mostly because I tend to only build MGs. Happily, MG Thunderbolt is finally coming!
Random question, do you guys listen or have you listened to Babymetal. Started listening to them recently and find them amazing, I like both metal and j-pop, and this is a mix of both!
Thanks for the message from the competition, Syd, I cannot imagine how tedious it must be to have to email a thousand people with the same thing.
I like all those “2.0” improvements on the new MG Freedom but that plasma canons which go over the shoulders and also the wings look really strange… I prefer the original design 🙂
Really wanting to get the Thunderbolt kits. I believe Thunderbolt MGs are on the way and I am really wanting one of those. Can’t wait to see you guys cover more kits.
My comment was read on the show! Haha great show as always guys. I just built the HG Barbatos 6th form and was actually extremely dissapointed with the weapons options there was ONLY the Wrench mace, no gun, no original mace, no katana i think Bandai really dropped the ball with that one.
That moment when they read your comment for the first time.
*fanboy squeals*
I’ve spent my last few weeks watching Gunpla TV non stop, it’s so great to just hear other people talk about things you know/love and discuss over stuff. I love you guys so much so please never change (unless if it’s for the better), and stay awesome! 😀
Do my eyes deceive me Ryan is building another model kit again?!? Spectacular news! Also have you watched Gundam Thunderbolt, and what did you think of it?
That Full Armor Gundam looks like a beast, but now that they’ve announced the MG I’m gonna hold out for that one. I can only imagine how impressive he’s gonna look on my shelf. 😀
Seeing the Efreet un boxing makes me consider buying it, still waiting to see your Sinanju Stein/Qubeley mash up Mallard as well Syd.
As for the pronunciation of your give away prize I believe it is Ri na see ta, I would love to be the recipient of that MG as well, as it is one of my favourite designs from the GBF series.
After seeing this episode, I’m really looking forward to receive my FA-78 which is still in the mail. 🙁 Also really excited that Bandai announced the MG FA-78 ver Ka, that will be an instant buy:-) Also, good luck for your twins Ryan!
Congrats Ryan on your expanding family. I was waiting for Syds’s revenge, but didn’t see it coming so soon lol. I can’t wait to see all three kits that are being built and the prize would be amazing to win as well.
Congrats to Ryan on his twins, great episode cant wait to see the Liger completed. great job Syd on getting todd back from his sneak build of the graze ein. love all this plamo would like to win the kit but if not oh well i have a big backlog to work on. Keep up the awesome work everyone
Finally, after a month not seeing the sun, I actually arrived at the latest episode of hobbylink.tv, a fine gunplabased show with your hosts: Sidecutter Syd, Megasize Ryan (that`s what she says :D.. no she doesn`t :C)and (fresh from BANDAI´s humanoid modeller series) Tod the builderbot.
It was like a timlaps journey through gunpla-developement and forehead-growing.. and I loved it. Laughed a lot and since we are kind of similar age, it was interessting to see what childhood in the 80s was in Canada or South-Africa. Sadly Ryan seems to be too buisy and is a bit pushed aside in the show. I love his, sometimes not that cosher, comments and his runting. thats the prize you have to pay for the bigger gunpla-part (which is great). Best wishes to him and his wife for the comming birth, it feels like it was just weeks ago, when his first baby was born and Syd`s second.. Ah, before I forget, tell Scott, that I spent around 15.000 Yen for plastic (and 70.00 for shiping) during that time, just caused by your show. 😉 Best regards from Germany, can`t wait to see more ..o/
My brother used to have a small one, which was like a little AT AT walker and it walked…I, for myself just could look at the pictures in toycatalogues. I dreamt many nights about finally getting one of those dinosaurs, but never got one. The past night..30years later.. I built my very first ZOID. Would be awesome if it would walk, but the ligars sounds are horrible
The zoids masterpiece is not your father’s zoids. Congrats to Ryan, hope the family is well, although i think it will be a while until we see the zoids if there are twins on the way.
Todd is coming along nicely. It is good to have a gunpla geek on the show. I totally get what he is saying about building older kits and how far they have come.
Great Show hope i won the denial gundam
love the show keep up the good work!
Great episode guy ^^.
I want that guntank
Gyan revive soon?
denial is fine but i prefer the guntank :). Loving the grimgerde, when i first saw it introduced to us for the first time, i was like, this is really cool,yeah they’re gonna make a 1/100 soon, i just have to wait
Where’s the masterpiece shield liger, show me its glory Sid
Great episode guys, think that bandai will release some of the other kits from thunderbolt? Such as the gouf from the side story?
Ordered the 1/100 Grimgerde last week, looks like I got a lot to look forward too!
I could really use that Denial Gundam. I have the Cathedral Gundam (it’s what the Denial is based on), and I would love to put the effect parts on it.
Great episode that 1/100 Grimgerde looks sick, I had kitbash ideas for the Denial gundam, and the Guntank. Really hoping I win one.
both 1/100 kit look really nice.
That guntank looks sick!
Cannot wait for the hobby show of gunpla releases
Double Congrats to Ryan….
I was really anxious to see Syd’s build: MG Gundam Freedom ver 2.0 this week…
well here goes another week of my anxious anticipation…. hehehe…
cheers guys & (Todd too 🙂 )…Great Show!!!
1/100 Blue Destiny Unit 1 when? Efreet needs somebody to fight. Why, Bandai? WHYYYYYYYYYYY? They always leave these huge, obvious gaps in their lineups.
Other than the thunderbolt Master grade is any one else excited to see a Real grade sinanju? Cause I’m waiting patience for it to be announced.
Junyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Efreet looks awesome, and I can’t wait to see the RE Kshatriya
gimme some!!!
Dear wallet, please be fat and not flat again ahahaha! I’m waiting for it BandaIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, BF/BFT MGs XD
Can’t wait for your review of the Freedom 2.0, I’ve been hearing good things about it.
And if there is a Zaku 3.0, Bandai shut up and take my money.
Great episode… can I win any of the kits? I never win anything … so, it would be nice if I finally get to win something…
Hnnng, that Grimgerde looks so good.
You know what they say, “Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, it’s also a Gundam.” :p
just give us the 3.0 char !!
Have you heard of and do you like the Mythbusters? They have a Youtube channel group Called Tested and they’ve been talking about building a couple Gunpla Kits.
tfw u in denial the denial is undeniably sleek af
I want the Denial for my kitbash project!!!
200 and still running. Good job guys, keep it up!
dont deny me that gundam… 😀
Todd can we get a sieg zeon from you!?
Great episode Guys and Congrat to Ryan for the Twins
dat rabbit gunpla thou
The RE/100 Efreet makes me sad because it’s another RE kit that has those crappy HG hands. They gave the Nightingale the emotion manipulator hands(which they aren’t using enough of in MG kits), so why not the other REs? Make it happen Bandai, right meow!
Wasn’t expecting to be picked! Action base and a whole lot a extra parts for scratch building and kit bashing. I am pleased. Thanks guys!
RE Efreet looks pretty good
I have a denial gundam already, and it was the first kit i painted up. It wasn’t up to my standards. Hope i get that denial so i can “try” again.
scooby dooby dooooo!
A bit disappointed that I didn’t win the Rinascita. Oh well, there’s always next time.
That Efreet looks awesome, it’s a bit of a shame that it’s articulation isn’t great, but at least it still looks cool. Hoping that I get that Guntank, the denial is cool too I guess. XP
That Efreet looks sick!
That MG Psyco Zaku is going to be insane!
Swaggy episode! Hoping to win the Denial Gundam or gun tank.
” I heard that about you” LMAO!!!!!!!
i need at least two Efreet. one normal and one nacht. that Grimgerde is amazing. please let me win my Guntank!!
I wish i could win that Denial Gundam
Jegan HOW ARE YOU?!
I already own that Guntank so I hope that I could win that Denial Gundam
Hype
can’t wait for the MG ‘murica 2.0 review, details look good and I’m expecting that it would be as good as the mg rx-78 origin on a mechanical aspect
First Last comment win win . HLJ thanks for the vids
1/100 Grimgerde !!!!!!!!!
The Grimgerde and Efreet look fantastic. Can’t wait for the RG Quanta that will come out this month too!
I wonder if you guys will stream/ build the RG Qan[T] when it comes out, I can’t wait to get it. Also I’m in Denial about winning this time but I Gun-Tank you anyways for the opportunity.
i would very much enjoy more updated kits like the hyaku shiki. I hope see a double zeta, how amazing would that be. P-bandai full armor set.
i see that you did a comparison of the Gouf r35 and the gouf revive, but Tod can you do a comparison with the gouf custom (http://hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun) articulation i think it is obsolete, it on look, in my opinion it look better then all. Great episode and thank you for the reviews
That Efreet and Grimgerde…
Especially the Grimgerde, That is one of the most awesome Frame in the IBO
Efreet however, seems to be short of long-range weapon there
DAT GRIMGERDE THOUGH…
what kind of turbo nerd complains about free kits, built or not.
Can’t wait for the live show!! But I don’t think we really need a 3.0 zaku… the 2.0 is tough to beat
THAT GRIMGERDE IS SICK! Great show guys!
Awesome episode guys!!! Love the design of the efreet custom!!! Love to win the guntank as i do not have any kits from origin.
Cant wait to see that sexy sexy freedom 2.0 to be finished and nice review, Really love the look of the Efreet
The Grimgerde is like a cool bad ass looking rabbit awesome !
i hope more thunderbolt ver of gunpla comes out they are all nice
AWesome kits ..YES MG RX 78 Full thuderbolt ver ka
i’d like to see a review of any p-bandai kits.
can’t wait for the MG 1/100 Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt Ver. Ka ..its gonna be an awesome kit..
gimme sumthing
Looks like I need to ship my Grimgerde and Efreet now rather than waiting for the Revive Gyan and Origin Zaku I…
Wow I thought the Efreet was gonna be kinda plain but it looks awesome. Im pretty much a MG/PG guy but it kinda makes me want to take a second look at the RE/100 kits.
Also my Ver KA Ball came today from HLJ! Time to customize it into something crazy!
my fingers are crossed for a PG char z’gok.
Guntank sounds kinda dumb, all tanks come with guns by default dont they?
Efreet custom and Grimgerde look sick!
Looking forward MG Psyco Zaku and FA-78 ver ka, they would be amazing together!
I just want that Denial Gundam! GIMME GIMME GIMME!
I can’t deny I would love to win a kit )
great show
well i was hoping to see the mg freedom 2.0 on this week episode 🙁
All these new gunpla are going to hurt my wallet
that guntank is beautiful
that denial and guntank is awesome and amazing! 🙂
Can’t wait for the Shizuoka report! 🙂
can’t wait for the mg freedom 2.0, that guntak tho is so beautiful <3, i'm hoping to win a kit, and still a great episode guys keep up the good work 🙂
Another great episode!
Great work as usual! Wish the Efreet had a few more accessories but what it does get looks amazing, I might just have to buy one.
Starting to miss Ryan…
Awesome episode guys!!! Love to win the kits!
Still waiting for that 3.0 zaku2, wish that efreet was an MG
I will be in denial if i dont win one of those kits lol great show guys
Great show guys! The 1/100 Grimgerde looks good! Here’s hoping I win one of them 😀
just give me anything
anythingggggggg!!!!!!
The Efreet has sorta grown on me since they announced it. And I never made the connection between Final Fantasy’s Ifrit (in the English translations) and Efreet!
Congrats to Ryan and another great episode. I was waiting for someone would make a Thunderbird reference and it came on smooth. The Shizuoka Hobby Show, what model kits that Bandai and other companies are coming out, I can’t wait? Just for now, I am waiting for the Iron Blooded Orphan’s Gundam Astaroth to be release and you guys doing a review on it. As always keep up the good work and stay awesome!
Is your twin also into Gunpla? I’m trying to get my twin into Gunpla, but he doesn’t really have the time nor the patience for it.
I fell in love with that 1/100 Efreet from the moment it was announced. Man is that thing sexy.
A full tank of freedom.
I love gunplatv!!!
Great episode guys. I could say something else but im 2 lazy.
I want to see them automate an entire kit with that robotic leg tech they showed off last year.
Hahah, an episode is always better with a bit more Todd =D
Really hoping to get the Denial if I get any of them, I already have the Try Burning Gundam and it would be fantastic to make a scene with them! Sorry Guntank, I was just never really that into you…
I still remember the SEXY grandaddy gundam.
Man, the Gouf R35 has a such a cool design. I think it’ll become the gateway into Zaku-style mechas for me. Welp, I figure I need to save up another 1275 yen then.
Oh and if I’m selected, I’d appreciate the Denial. Unless the other person wants it since I have one, but my dog shredded my box for it which kills my collector’s soul and I don’t think I’ll ever repurchase the denial just for the box. It’s a great kit and all but I don’t think I’ll use any of it’s parts for any custom models, so it’d be a waste of prime nihon plastic.
cool ep guys i figured the new gouf would reuse the r35
love that efreet box art! gonna get the tunderbolt ver. ka for sure when it comes xD
It would be awesome to with that Origin kit!!!
Also do you think they will ever make an MG Leo or Aries from the Gundam Wing series? I think it would be a cool addition.
Leo is on the list of likely RE100s coming up. That’s probably the best we’re ever going to get. They’ve came through with the Efreet, so maybe we’ll get all of the suits in that one promo picture. If they go in order that they placed the suits on that picture, the next one will be GM Sniper II or Xi.
I love the original Zeonframes and I would lineup for a new MG Zaku V3.0 for sure. The last great was the Geara Doga. I am often looking at hlj to find the Zaku-type-kit of my choice, but they are all kind of aged.
Actually how outdated is the PG Zaku, since BANDAI went a long way of developement since it came out?
I not intend to build the same Gundam over and over again and end up with 10 different Zaku-II, or different types, wich are almost the same with just another weaponpack. But i absolutly have to have one.
Great episode guys, might be my imagineation but the Grimgerde kind of reminds me of the Enact from Gundam OO :p
I thought that Shizouka was during the last weekend of May so unfortunately I arranged my trip to Tokyo on the wrong dates, just missing the event so I’m really looking forward to your broadcast. In the mean time I hope that I can win the gun tank ^_^
Oh my sweet Gundam, I can’t believe I missed the pictures of the FA Gundam Ver Ka. Thanks for reminding me! 😀
Great episode guys!
I’m definitely with Tedd on the Barbatos design, I was quite disappointed when they did that countdown teaser thing.
Everybody is dreaming and talking about the Char’s Zaku II 3.0 while I’m here wishing and waiting that Bandai may gave us Z’Gok 2.0!!!
Come on please! Z’Gok 2.0! or even an RG GP02!!
Great show!!
Hi guys! Thanks for this episode but really looking forward for the next one to see the review of the new Freedom:-) The Efreet in now listed in my shopping list, really looks like a great kit. Will definitely get it! Thanks again guys.
Ein Ein Ein
Also, I really liked the Gouf R35, so I might get the Gouf Revive. The two different shades of blue is more noticeable on the Revive.
guntank origin vs guntank tv
I love the design of the Guntank origin ver. and the Grimgerde looks really nice
That Denial Gundam is pretty sexy! (Still wishing for an MG Build Burning though…)
…still waiting on that RG Gouf
…Pumped for ‘The Shiz’
…Origin Guntank plz!
..Another fine episode as always!
Hi guys,
Great show thanks. Personally, I like the Gouf R35. Way much cooler than the revive and has 2 shields. Just for you Syd, I made a Canadian version of the Gouf R35 posted on the site. Just don’t know if you’ll be able to see it or not.
If I win, may I ask for the RX-78-2 Revive poster behind your seat instead? I really wish to have the RX-78-2 poster.
Thanks.
Bob
nice !!!
Man, that Grimgerde is easily one of my new favorite mobile suits. and you keep asking for a MG Char’s Zaku 2 3.0, I’m still waiting for a MG Justice! C’mon Bandai! We have two MG Freedoms now! Please!!?
Also, hope I win either of those kits, they look awesome! Love you guys, keep up the great work <3
THAT guntank!!
*Efreet Intensifies*
Great episode guys! I would love to win any of those kits, especially the MG!
Classic Guntank!
Hope to see more MG FA photos soon.
Wonder what’s next for mg. I really hope they will finish the assault mode for v2 ver.ka
Without the armour is just not feels complete 🙁 they have it for hg, why can’t mg?
Syd, Tod it’s all good of you just give method grmgerede! I don’t need anything else. Mmmm the stiffness
Any news regarding the next rg? I’m hoping it’s unicorn and then banshee
cool
Dear HLJ,
Great review as always. What kind of expectations do you have for the upcoming RE/100 Kshatriya in terms of articulation and gimmicks? An awesome review would be to compare it with the HGUC version!
Efreet vs Grimgerde. The Ultimate Sword-Off!
MG psycho zaku. More bazookas
Oh poor Ryan, his life his over. Ahah!
Better kid proof all his stuff, this hobby is one big choking hazard for kids.
we want the 1/100 graze ein!!!!!
hi guys is me writing to you hlj , i queries about how the lack of race diversity in your company
when i look through you 200 episode and other episode,my question is do there have orther race that work in your company .we should show how diversity that people that play gunpla not just european or white people
that is my concern
Hi, and thanks for the comment! As we are located in Japan, the majority of our staff is Japanese. Gunpla TV, however, is an English-language program, and so is produced by our English speaking staff.
thank you anna that slove my uncertainty
Nice
Digging all the zeek love from bandai lately
Will we ever get an RG GM?
thank you, just thank you..
Great episode! The Grimgerde looks so cool, and so knight-like with the head-fins, keep up the great work guys 🙂
Lets go MG FA gundam and psycho zaku !!!
Cann’t wait to get a grimgerde, it looks awesome. I am a. It concerned with the thunderbolt full armor gundam, though. The preview shots do not have the joint coverings on the elbows and knees. I thought that was what makes this version different from the regular full armor. Hopefully they will appear on the model when it is revealed at the hobby show later this month.
That Efreet is looking better and better everytime I look at it. Here’s hoping they keep churning out these awesome RE/100’s!
I watched it and I still don’t know if I want Grimgerde or Efreet!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Denial is not just a river in egypt.
nice
The Efreet Is looking real nice, I hope to see more REs from Bandai. Bandai if you are reading Please and Thank you.
So, can you convert the R35 into a normal Gouf?
Thank you for making all the videos!
Congratulations to Ryan! I might need to get me those two Goufs now.
Looking forward to the Master Grade Full Armor Gundam from Gundam Thunderbolt
just watched the Guntank in action in the origins movie.
Young Casval (Char) sure got some balls. like, you will never be as badass as Casval owning 4 Guntanks while holding his sister on his lap.
Tell me how to get high on gundam guys, just like Todd.. Do I have to work in the same kind of place like HLJ to get as high as Todd ?
JK 😀
Hope I win some kit :p
Hoping they make an RE Kshaytriya :/
Great episode guys! Very excited about the MG Thunderbolt rx-78 full armor. I hope too win the hg denial gundam,I have been wanting that one for a while.
i hope to see the RE Kshaytriya!!!
Love the efreet, hope they’ll do some more kits like Kshaytriya, or some of the weirder Zeta designs
Nice episode guys but somehow sad without Ryan (congratz on twins!). I hope he will be back soon and I’m looking forward to see new stuff shown at Shizuoka Hobby Show! 😀
The Grimgerde is very nice! The Efreet doesn’t appeal to me that much.
To have a Guntank, yes please!
To have a second Denial Gundam? Sure!
Great episode to look forward to… A double dose of Freedom!
I hope to win the giveaway.
I wonder what would be at shizuoka..hopefully more Zeon MG.
GIVE ME GUNPLA…. hi everyone at HLJ you’re all awesome!!!
Hey Ryan, Syd and Todd, thanks for all the great shows you’ve done so far, especially the grade explanation ones as they helped me pick out my first gunpla kits, the HG Barbatos and Gusion Rebake. Sadly they weren’t from HLG, but after a bit of research its clear that not only do you have a great reputation, but you guys are cheaper overall than anyone else I can find for the UK, so all my orders will be with you guys from now on.
Just got 2 questions for you guys and the community, for my next lot of kits I’d like to do a top coat and panel wash, I know Ryan really likes his enamel panel wash, but I was wondering if acrylic paint would work just as well if watered down enough, and if it does work which gives the better effect, enamel or acrylic?
And probably more for Syd and Todd, for my next lot of gunpla I’ve decided to go with a few kits from the 00 line, so I was thinking the Exia and the 00 Raiser in HG…But they do come in RG…the price is good and they look doable with my skills…and I really do like the look of the RG QuanT…is it worth jumping from HG to RG if you are confident in your skills to do it?
Also send my thanks to Brian from Boss Builds, he managed to answer the question I was struggling with on how to layer different types of paints/top coats on ep4 of boss builds, I had been struggling with that for days!
Great episode as always, looking at the Grimgerde it seems like its too stocky? or just not thin and ‘sharp’ enough, either way cant wait for next time.
U guys are amazing keep it up
The Denial’s going to be awesome. Great job people!
me?
Great Episode guys, at the moment I’m in the middle of building my first PG, the red frame astray. It will look awesome once finished. Would be great if they announce a zaku II char version 3.0, but maybe there might be more 2.0 kits as there are a lot of them that need an upgrade.
Great, now I have to decide between the HG and 1/100 Grimgerde.
I’m also looking at the Gundam the Origin as my 1st MG, even though it’s slightly more expensive than the Freedom 2.0. I just love those accessories and gimmicks, and I don’t have a representation of the Gundam yet.
No one’s gonna comment on the fact that Syd has a twin?????
Congratulations to Ryan! times two!
Really love the look of the Grimgerde though. Also hoping for a MG Freedom 2.0 review soon!
Great episode! The 1/100 Grimgerede looks very slick and probably they’re setting a higher standard for other ibo 1/100 kits starting with this
I’ll be in denial if if I don’t get the guntank
Oh I already knew about the RG kits (although I had hoped the Qan[t] would be release near the beginning of the month), my question was whether it would be worth making the jump from having only done 2 HG kits, to doing 3 RGs. I’ve actually already gone an ordered the Exia and 00 Raiser in RG and preordered QanT, but thanks for replying anyway.
