As the year wraps up Bandai releases a slew of High Grades from Iron-Blooded Orphans so Syd recruits a wide-eyed Todd to help him out. The 1/100 Barbatos is all armored up and gets a review in this episode, as […]
Well I am glad I at least won the hi mach, Sorry Syd and Ryan Get to see SW:TFA on monday 12/14/15 at the premiere also please bring the girls back because Todd seems like a nice guy but not a good on camera fit. For Ryan SW BF just practice and play the campaign to get better then smaller battles.
Syd & Ryan, Bros for life! Star Wars jacket x2 & same color as well. Hope next week’s episode won’t be too short as its only a day before Force Awaken and you two will be too hype to film. Enjoy the movie.
The gimmick of 1/100 Barbatos’s gun is really unique.. first time seeing that. Worth the price for a NG kit with an inner frame.
I have yet to try a PG but I would like my first PG to be a PG Ball. Please Bandai, make a PG Ball! Thanks.
Have you ever built the MG Ball? (Either the Ver. Ka or the 08th MS Team Ver.) It absolutely blows most other MGs out of the water, even the most complicated modern ones, in terms of detail and color separation. It also makes for a great sturdy toy, and it’s super cheap to boot.
A PG Ball, even just a scale-up of the MG, would be amazing.
I wish i would have looked into the long distance transportation booster before i bought my hg barbatoes but oh well i will probably still pick it up, it never hurts to have spare parts.
also i cant wait for the review of the gusion its my favorite from the ibo series.
Well, I’ve ordered the banshee and the led (despite how bad I think I am at building). I was torn between the unicorn and the banshee. Made me went back to go watch the entire series again to gauge how I feel about each one.
What finally pushed me over to the banshee is because I would have lusted over the p-Bandai final battle unicorn more if I got the unicorn.
Thanks for the episode guys. Looking forward to the IBO kit reviews next week.
Great Episode Guys, as always of course, never a doubt ;). I really hope I win that Mk. III that would be my first RE kit, I’ve been wanting to get them, but I’ve got too much backlog as is to justify buying them atm. Although I’d make an exception to that if Bandai would kindly bring out an RE/100 NZ-000 Queen Mansa (aka Quin Mantha)!!!
My pg gundam rocks but it is intimidating when I put it together more so then my other builds but it still rocks out on my shelf lol. P.s. I got the winged gundam endless waltz.
Syd: “…nice and snug, bend my arm, line up my hand joint … some part comes off again, what a surprise! *sarcastic voice*”
LOL, we still love you Barbatos, and MK III INCOMING!!! + Star Wars RuleZ
Nice comparison between the 1/100 and the 1/144 Barbatos.RE/100 is definitely a scale I want to try to get my hands on.
P.S.:Also am hyped for star wars episode 7 and may the force truly be awakened
Hey guys, great show! (and good luck to Todd) – my question is: If you had to choose between two Dark Side powers, would you choose Sith Lightning or Force Choke? Hope you guys enjoy yourselves in the movies.
Tip for Ryan. People tend to think FPS games are all impulse but strategy is a vital part. Learn the map, learn the attack and defense patterns, and learn the sniper nests. Being one step ahead mentally beats having better reaction speed. It might be a game but The Art of War by Sun Tzu is applicable.
Note: Wish to opt out of this giveaway, please choose another if my number comes up.
Hell yes 2016 will be an amazing year for movies – Cap America 3, BvS, Deadpool movie ( this is gonna be awesome) and X-men Apocalypse..prbly more that I can`t remember right now, but either way …my eyes will burn out from going to the cinema too much lol
mk-ii is my favorite design but i’d like to have a go at that mk-iii! happy holidays guys!
@ryan, what’s your play style on your star wars game? it might be helpful for advice from other gamers. one important thing though is to always use cover to your advantage and not rush forward and go rambo gung-ho lol always kills me in FPS games…
Hiho 😀 i cant wait for the Hi-Res Barbatos and Ted is a little bit scary 😀 like me …dont get between me and my gundam !! ^^ like too see him often in this great show of yours. keep up this nice work greeting from germany…with bradtwurst express 😀
The Gusion is supposed to use the same Gundam Frame as the Barbatos so it will be interesting to see how Bandai translate this aspect of the suit into the actual model. I would have thought we’d need to wait for the 1/100 Gusion scheduled for release next year, but we were all surprised by the inner frame of the 1/144 Barbatos.
I’m a fan of the RE/100 kits, already have the Mk iii & Dijeh & I will get like 10 of the Leo if it’s made but I’m just not feeling the 1/100 NG Barbatos . I love the design and the anime is fun too but the NG just doesn’t look sharp enough. I also noticed that it looked very weak and unbalanced.
Battlefront’s problem is that the damn shitheads at EA thought it’d be nice to not have local servers. They did it in beta and took it out at launch. I asked for a refund a few weeks back and to be honest, I’m glad I did. The beta was so much better. They ruined it
Darth Syd and Darth Ryan… that scene was way funnier than it should be; now I want that jacket. Also, that guy that got two PGs in one go, I’d like to be that guy one day.
90% of the people who play Battlefront have struggles and complaints with it.
I am slowly getting better. The best thing is adjust your loadout and star cards to your play style. I like to go back-and-forth between a more aggressive run and gun style to playing that mid-back line support roll. I either use the EE-3 or the RT-97C primarily. As for star cards I prefer the Impact grenade, explosive shot and the jump pack. That jump pack is so useful to either get you into the thick of things or out of it.
wake up to a new episode and there is already about a hundred comments. i love watching you guys and look forward to this. are you going back to having a schedule yet? love the hoodies by the way, and no spoiling it for us
How can you guys feel awkward about getting the same sweater? If I saw someone wear the same thing as me, I would give them the biggest high five and say they have great taste in fashion.
Also, Todd… You’re hilarious. You being on the show was a great idea. XD
Hello again!! I won an Origin booklet! Finally I win something!
Maybe it’s time for winning the Mark 3 too!
Oh please! Don’t spoiler anything about SW next week. I’m the type of guy who waits as much as possible to see a movie! So internet will be very dangerous for me in the next weeks!
Also, “stand a good chance of winning” yet I still haven’t won anything… I blame it on the random number generator and will proceed to claim that it’s rigged!
Have you guys been watching IBO so far ? Opinions ?
Syd did you see the fan-art theory that the Gundam Gusion actually hides a smaller Gundam inside ? A bit like the Virtue in Gundam OO, what do you think about it ?
Always a great episode ryan and syd, which is better to get the HG Barbatos or 1/100 barbatos? Hope you guys have fun watching star wars and as always have a great christmas 🙂
Nice jackets. Where does one find such a jacket? Great episode guys! I’m stoked for the new Star Wars movie as well. I really am starting to dig the new IBO line.
MG is the coolest! What do you guys think about bandai pumping out 1/100 scale kits but they are not in/have potential for the MG line? And of course I’m hoping to win that Mk 3
…hi syd and ryan, speaking of star wars i think it will be available on 17th here in the philippines but dont worry i wont give spoilers after i watched it ahahhahahahaha… the barbatos looks amaizing but the gushion also catch my attention aftrr i wathced episode 11 of the ibo…
Hey guys, great episode. I have a feeling the hi-res kit(s?) may be to the 1/100 scale what the RGs are for the 1/144 scale. Adding a bit more detail and possibly quality as well. Looking forward to it. And Star Wars of course!
Now i am even more Hyped for my 1/100 Barbatos that my friend got me for christmas from you guys, I got him the Origin’s Char’s Zuku to complete his collection of Origin’s MS and as i am collecting IBO series right now. I didn’t notice it in your last two video’s but does the NG have a cockpit gimmick? I really like that about the MG series. And maybe if Santa is nice to me this year money wise i will be able to finally get me a PG MS, or maybe just let me win one of your giveaways, either way i will be happy. Great Show as usual, can’t wait for the next one, and the plot of Star wars is…. lol just kidding.
I hope you guys get the 1/100 Graze on the show. I also hope it’s as good as the Barbatos; you don’t get many grunt suits in 1/100 scale. The last good 1/100 scale grunts we got were back in the Gundam 00 lines.
I liked the off-shoot clips you had this episode that wasn’t just at the desk. You should do that stuff more often! Great episode and may the Force be with you!
The NG Barbatos is somewhat disappointing. All the more reason to wait for the the Hi-res version or the eventual MG. I want to get a PG soon but my problem is I want to paint it so that it will look its best which means more money to be spent 🙁
i did not expect the NG got the cannon gimmicks at all, that’s nice. I’m hyped for the V2 Ver.Ka and i am waiting for the next MG announcement from Bandai, i hope they will suprise us (in a good way). Nice show guys, love it.
I honestly not quite understand Bandai politics on master grades. They put so much effort in producing Barbatos in pretty much any form… except MG. I bet making this new Hi-Resolutin Model will cost a lot more than MG because it’s basically action figure with attachable armor. It looks rather nice and everything, yet…
And I’m still waiting for Build/Try Burning Gundam =|
Great show. Can’t wait to see the IBO long-distance transportation booster review. Do you think that this will eventually be released in a 1/100 scale or will it only be a 1/144 HG release similar to the likes of the Meteor Unit from Gundam Seed and the GP03 Dendrobium because of its would be size?
I know that I am a little late to the discussion but I would chose the 3.0 version of the RX78-2 simply because I love the level of detail on that kit and it also happens to be the first RX78-2 kit that I have built.
Speaking of the RE 1/100, I’m hoping to see the Re 1/100 Kshatriya in 2016 but it would be awesome to win the RE Gundam MK-||| in the meantime ^_^
This is the first time I’ve actually seen your show, and it’s really great! And the Star Wars hype is very real XD dig the hoodies! I recently got into gunpla a few months back, and I’m enjoying it a lot so far even on a tight budget XD I really can’t wait for the Gusion to come out! I like the bulky, turtle-frog(?) look to it! 😀
The RE MkIII looks really cool. I bet it looks amazing in person!
I haven’t heard of the REs before, but looking through the line they have, the Dijeh looks pretty amazing too!
Cool episode! I have a question. BANDAI did an RE100 Nightingale. Does this mean that we could see an HGUC 1/144 scale Nightingale soon? Thank you Gunpla TV. May the force be with you. Always!
Ryan, didn’t order the LEDs for the PG Unicorn and Banshee because…wait for it…I got the LEDs when the were in stock before haha. Just needed to wait for the kits to restock. side note, too bad HLJ doesn’t do P-Bandai stuff, but I did also get the PG Full Armor Expansion for the Unicorn and the Armed Armour BS & VN for the Banshee.
I plan on ordering the 1/100 Barbatos, IBO Gusion+ Man Rodi within the next week or so. I might even start getting some MG kits including the Zaku II and Gouf Custom. What other MG kits would you suggest?
So is the High Resolution Barbatos simply going to be another plastic model using metallic-plated plastic? I was under the impression that the frame would be pre-assembled and utilize diecast metal along with plastic, and the armor would come on plated runners?
i build the inner frame for Barbatos last saturday. still not sure if i want to build the armor around it, or keep it al terminator like
i did give it a overal gunmetal paint job and the wires a silver color to make it stand out…. i want more of those inner frames 🙂 fun to build and fun to play with
Another amazing episode guys!! I am going to see Episode 7 on the first showing on Thursday at 7:30! 😀 Can’t wait! Also I am loving the Barbatos! Happy Holidays Guys!!
A unique kit. I have placed an order for 4 Barbatos Kits for the kids in the house :). This will be their first build and we are eager to start building it. Happy Holidays.
Thanks Darth Syd and Darth Ryan for this episode, the kit I really like to have this coming christmas is the MG RX-78-2 Origin ver. hehe just posting. Advance Merry Christmas both of you and the rest of HLJ.
Awsome episode!
The Barbatos looks good, but some how it just feel too naked to me.
Maybe I’m more into the traditional armored mech type of models while Barbatos just too skeleton-ish.
Anyway hope I can win one of those give aways!
Even after building 40 something MGs and a PG (Astray Red Frame) the Banshee I have on the way is still incredibly intimidating. There’s so much detail and work to it.
Lol the sweaters. In regards to not sucking so much, the biggest problem my brother has when playing is he gets too close, i mean he just gets so close its utterly ridiculous you have a gun, a blaster rifle at that, stand back dont walk closer shoot from a distance thats what guns are for!.
Anyways you guys are sooooooo lucky to work at Hlj, if i had the cash id be buying Gundam’s left right and center, but no matter how Much I want the PG’s if i dont have the money i cant get em. The 1/100 Barbatos looks really cartoonish, and Plasticky, i’ll just wait for an MG.
IBO designs seem to emphasize function over form, so they’re more basic and more functional than previous kits. This is a huge contrast with what we saw in ‘Build Fighters,’ with all the over-the-top anime style, weapons, and effects. IBO even uses bullets and other physical weapons rather than beam weapons.
1/100 Barbatos looks awesome! Is the High resolution Barbatos at 1/100 scale too? Can’t wait for the 1/100 Gusion, looks massive! I want that RE Gundam Mk III!!!
Another great episode guys. The 1/100 Barbatos looks great might pick it up in the new year. I really want the PG Unicorn with the lighting set but will wait until I have more skill at the hobby as I’m still pretty noobish at it. Also I know you show newly released kits on the show but would it be possible for you to feature older kits. Thanks.
My recent order arrived today, yellow decals to complete the Real Type Zaku (which still needs a gun) 1/144 verniers which I realised I needed for the Hyper Zeta Honoo and a GM Sniper Custom because my brother wanted a green GM.
And also Link, because it’s that most wonderful time of the year…
Great episode as always, love the new IBO kits can’t wait to see the Hi Res Barbatos. Seen a pic of a RE 1/100 Kshatriya in planning was wondering if you guys had any info on it. keep up the great work and can’t wait for the next episode
Ryan’s back! And he has his voice back! And he uses it to full effect talking about various things, not just Star Wars! Syd talks Star Wars as well but teams up with Todd to review the newest HG Revive kits as […]
My favorite version of the RX-78-2 is actually The Origin version!
The main reason is because….when the knee bends, the knee armor actually slides to protect it! In every other iteration of the kit, the knees are always exposed 😛
My favorite Master Grade RX-78-2 has got to be the one that dons Samurai armor: yes, it is the Shin Musha Gundam (based on ver. 1.5 RX-78-2). Though it is not exactly the RX-78-2, the color separation and complexity of the parts make for a beautiful kit. I fell in love with the suit when I first saw it in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2.
Is it me or does the new guy sound like Bob Ross?
If he said ‘happy little trees’ maybe the comparison would become clearer.
Also Ryan did not have to say sorry in the beginning, I think we were all happy to hear his family is getting bigger. 🙂
And the HG MK II revive looks really good with the weathering. I might try the same when my kit comes in. The 1/100 Barbatos looks nice but I think I will wait for the HD ver. to see the price difference and the color separation. I find painting in small accents to be difficult.
I never built any MG RX-78 but if I did I would pick up the Origin because after building the MG V-dash ver. Ka I want to avoid any kit with a torso core fighter gimmick.
And the MG RX-78 Origin does not have a core fighter in its torso.
Thank you for reading my comment in this video it really made my day. I must admit however i skipped the Barbatos build because i like to discover how it all fits together while its in my hands.
My favorite Rx78 is the 3.0 because i enjoy all the little details and color separation.
Glad you guys going to do tutorials again. Will it cover basic tutorials only or advance stuff like Scribing and hight extensions on MG kits since they have inner frame.
Great episode , Don’t like the Barbatos design that much but its still a cool kit ,
My Fav MG RX-78-2 has to be MG ver Ka love the decals and the look of it pretty much !
My favorite RX-78 is the 3.0 because like the RG it’s got the colors and proportions of the 1/1 RX-78 statue that I quite like. And I want that Shin Matsunaga Zaku!
I haven’t built any of the MG RX-78-2s, but my favorite one, based on looks, is the 3.0. I love how it looks like an actual machine that could fight in battle rather than just a replica of a fictional mecha.
yes, new episode! welcome back Ryan. been waiting for the barbatos build. i must say, the details on the 1/100 Barbatos is great.
to answer your survey, i myself prefer the MG rx-78-2 ver 3.0 due to the excellent detail, overall proportions, and gimmicks. the others look too cartoon-ish for me.on the other hand, the new MG rx-78-02 orgin version has some pretty cool new gimmicks and those included effect parts for the weapons. it was a great contender but the ver 3.0 won me over with the proportions and likeness to the 1:1 gundam on display at Diver City. i hope one day i get to see it in person and up close.
I’ve been following you guys on youtube, and then found out I could get kits if I started watching you guys here. That aside, I can’t decide between the HG Revive Mk. II or the RG version. ><
Also, am I the only one who wants to win the hi-mock? You should've probably done the Zaku last for more impact.
The MG Shin Musha Gundam is by faaaaar the best version of the MG RX-78-2, why? Well look at it xD Its a gigantic bad ass shogun that murders every thing in its way. You just cant beat that
I’m new to gunpla my very first kit and only one is the rg freedom strike. Perhaps It was a bit to advanced for me without the proper tools and I messed up on a couple things. Happy to see these new kits are easier to build and will pick up a couple more in the near future.
The Gundam mk.II AEUG and Titans looks pretty good, and that barbatos looks awesome can’t wait to see the hi res model coming out soon.
Anwyays ryan and syd also todd, keep up the good work and I’ll be looking forward to your next video. I wonder what are you going to do for episode 200? 😛
Great video as always and i think the best mg rx 78 2 is the 3.0 because it share a lot of similarities with the rg who i think is the best line.however the origin version looks very nice and i would like to build both of them since I didn’t build them
A White Zuku Force like the Black tri stars, maybe a group of zuku in white that are spec ops for battles on polar and moon surfaces. LPBS, Lunar Polar Bear Squadron. Consisting of a 1 Sniper Zuku, 3 Mid Range Combat Zuku, 2 Close Range Combat Zuku, 1 Demolition ( bookza and Rockets ) Zuku, 1 Heavy Artillery Zuku (weapons like Heavyarms) and then a Sazabi inspired MS to lead them. Color Scheme Mostly White with Silver/Grey Frames, accents of black, grey, and blue. With a Black Polar Bear Head Logo with a white Cresent moon scar over it eye for the emblem.
Gotta be RX-78 2.0 for me. there’s no doubt that it looks more cartoonish than most of the other mg RX-78 variations, but i’m pretty sure its also one of the most accurate representations of how the rx-78 originally looked when it first appeared way back when; that’s why 2.0 gets my vote
i think the mg Rx 78-2 that i prefer the most il the 3.0, it’s desin gime me a more “real machine” vibe maybe for the more colors of plastic in the armor
RX-78-2 ver 3.0 is my favorite, the Origin ver. is great but the knee armor is a big turn off for me, I wonder why not a lot of people mention its awkward articulation.
Great show and Barbatos build by Syd! Also looks like Todd’s getting used to the flow of things. Welcome back to Ryan also, glad he is better.
As for the RX-78-2, it surely has to be the Ver 3.0. Being lucky enough to have visited the Big Gundam in Odaiba, the Ver 3.0 is pretty much the replica of that great statue on my shelf! Although I welcome the new RE100 line – what I wouldn’t give for another 3.0!
I’m so unlucky in life that I will win the Hi-mock for sure! I hate the hi-mock! So….ordinary in design.
My favourite Rx78 is the Ver.Ka. In those years I had no idea that “mecha design” was a real job! I drew robots for my entire childhood just for fun. The Ver.Ka was the first time I realize how much complex and interesting can be to draw sci-fi stuff and also make it believable! The Ver.ka was the first Gundam to look believable, bulky, squarish, full of details, but also powerful like a real war machine!
No strange spikes, or strange useless piece of metal everywhere on its body! Hajime Katoki is awesome!
With over 30 years of experience I bet a good number of viewers wouldn’t mind hearing about more tips from Todd. And I couldn’t be any more excited for the Revive MK-II Titans; by far a great improvement and a glimpse of what I could look forward to in the future.
Hi-mock is one of my favourite kits, real fun and simple. Great poser and stuff! Usually recommends it to beginners. 🙂 Recently built the Zaku kit, I was a bit disappointed with it. :/ Doesn’t pose well imo… oh well! 😀
Cardigan is also super cool, would really love to own that, looks so cool with the arms and shields.
My favorite MG of RX-78-2 is the Ver 3.0, because it has a very challenging build and also has a pro vibe when you finish the kit. I’m also looking forward for Gunpla Tutorials again from you guys, it’s been a while. Sieg Zeon!
…the revive mk- ll looks amazing, either off the two would be a nice choice for building a kit… the barbatos on the otherhand looks soo good for a non grade kit… forcthe prizes i hope i could win the shin matsunaga zaku hahahahaha merry xmas guys
The Mk.2 was always one of my favorite designs as far as Gundam type suits go. Though I like alot of them the mk.2 always stood out to me. Though still nothing beats the Zaku II. Gimme that Matsunaga!
A lot of people are building the Gundam’s inner frames first. Do you think Bandai has finally wised up to this? Or do you think the Barbatos is special and this isn’t the start of a new trend?
great show again guys. i’m glad todd is joining you.
as for master grade 78-2’s i prefer the detail on the mk2.
and i would love the powered GM cardigan. and i cant wait for the HD barbados. waiting to buy one till i see the detail on that
Favorite RX-78? In MG form, it’d have to be the old RX-78-4 or -5, whichever had the giant gatling cannon. Because yeah it was overdesigned, but it had the giant gatling cannon. You don’t bet against a giant gatling cannon. The OYW version probably comes in a distant second.
Any idea when the new Frame Robo kits will come in? I’m hoping to make Christmas gifts out of them.
Oh man my favorite RX78-2 would be 3.0. The look it has, the color separation, how it looks just oob, and I put in the yellow LED and when it lights up its so cool! Also, winning the powered gm cardigan I could modify it with my super fumina and have HYPER FUMINA!!!!!
My favorite RX-78-2 is the original 1995 MG coz it was the first kit I ever built that my older brother got me in 1999… when I was 7, which spawned my love for everything Gundam. I still have it to this day 😀
My fav RX-78 MG is the 3.0. I’m a fan of kits that have a realistic design, and the 3.0 has great panel lines, panel colour separation and proportions. The stickers/decals also add a lot to that realistic look.
Would love to see more 3.0s, make more of the RGs into MGs!
The OYW version was my favorite because of the awesome panel lines, but the new Origin version has won me over with it’s more real militaristic look instead of the cartoony 2.0 look.
Should I get the 1/100 Barbatos not that a Hi-Res is coming out? By the time the Hi-Res comes out, maybe the MG will come out… AHHH MY WALLET.
Hope I win that Zaku, it’ll be my first ZAKU!
My favorite RX 78-2 would be the 3.0, first because of how bad ass it looks compared to the other kits and just because it has a core fighter which makes it better than that origin ver. I love the foot articulation of the origin ver but without that core fighter, even with the superb articulation, I’d have to go with the ver 3.0! 😀 I hope I win one of those posters or that Shin Matsunaga Zaku!! Here’s to hoping for a birthday miracle!!! Love your show guys!
My favorite RX-78-2 is the one year war version, it just looks awesome with the different shades of plastic, the panellines and the dry-transfers. though it didn’t have a core fighter so thus so far I haven’t been able to build any version of the core fighter but somewhere in the future I’m planning to get the 3.0 so maybe if I have to believe syd my OYW has to give up his spot as my favorite rx-78.
anyway great episode guys can’t wait til the next one!
Haven’t built a RX-78-2 MG (sucks to be me, due to time constraints and a lot of models that still need to be built), but I can say that I like the ver2.0 just because I like how it looks compared to the others and would build it when given the chance.
I hope if im lucky i could win the power GM carigen i’ve been wanting to get that kit for the longest time. Plus I cant wait for Star wars episode 7 I hope its awesome like episode three was.
Wow episode 200 coming up. Congratulations on a successful series. Happy to say I’ve been watching since the start and haven’t missed one.
I do have a question for you guys: Is there a way to get spare Bandai part runners outside of Japan? My PG Strike Freedom’s wing peg broke and I need to replace it. I’ve tried to pin it but there’s just too much stress on the part to hold. It’s my favorite kit and looks so sad with out it’s wing.
Thanks again for all the good shows, and would love any of this week’s kits to show up under my Christmas tree.
I cant decide to get the Titan MKII Revive or RG Titan MKII, if the revive got the test parts like the RG it will be perfect. I like Todd, hí way ò review í very great, hope to sê more of him with you guys.
Nice episode guys, waw has it been that long? Lol make me feel old into the hobby since once been watching since episode 4 I think. Well cheers and here’s to win a kit
Wow a Shin Matsunaga Zaku, cool! A Hi-mock as well , sweet! I definetly need a zaku in my collection and definitely need more grunt suits, all I have are gundam type :).
Anyway good to see you Ryan glad that you are feeling better and nice build of the 1/100 Barbatos Syd. Keep up the good work everyone and may the force be with you!
Ive only ever built an rx78, Bit would build the rx78 revive if i had to pick a mg kit. Can i hit to birds with stone and have a chance to win one of those kits too?
It’s amazing the difference a little bit of weathering can make to a kit! The Hi-Mock is still one of my favourite kits. It’s just so simple and fun! The IBO kits are giving it a run for it’s money though. Can’t wait to see what that new HG Barbatos looks like!
Ah man, what a nice late birthday present, a Gunpla TV episode!
Love the look of that 1/100 Barbatos, and I can’t wait for the 1/100 Graze. I was actually just putting the finishing touches on the Graze that I got from the /r/Gunpla secret santa while I was watching!
Ironically enough though, just after my birthday is the one time I don’t want to win one of the Syd edition kits! I’m already gonna struggle to display the MG Turn X and MG Hi-Nu Ver. Ka that I got and an extra kit won’t help that!
Welcome back Ryan. 🙂
The review of the 1/100 Barbatos is making me wanting one for myself. Liked the looks of that frame. It might look nice in just frame mode + minor detailing paint.
I have the rx-78-2 3.0 in my backlog. I was thinking that it was the latest one at that point of time and I don’t have any MG RX-78-2 yet. I like how it looks like the RG version but easier to assemble (I think).
Then, after seeing the RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. One Year War 0079 on display in a gundam museum here, I bought that one too. I like the colour, panel lines and the open hatches of the kit.
Now, I am thinking whether I should get the Origin too.
I really hope the Barbatos meets my expectations, I am more interested in how the frame is built that’s the real impact this kit is trying to do. A little sticker heavy, but seeing the price point I cant really complain; now all i have to do is wait for it to arrive. And I hope I can win that sweet Shin Matsunaga Zaku II. HLJ and Gunpla TV for life.
My favorite Rx 78-2 is the OYW version. I has great detail for paneling and great articulation. But the main reason is There are a variety of conversion kits for it.
Todd did a great job again, even took the time to apply weathering. You mentioned it be being easily removed, won’t a matt spray work to set it?
Without a doubt! Version Ka. is my favorite! Katoki really know how to pimp those gunplas up!
(I don’t see my comment that I made yesterday :O? Either way, cut that comment off and make this eligible cause I forgot to comment about my FAVORITE RX 78-2.)
Another great episode guys and how can I get a job with you guys because you guys look like you are having so much fun! Has Bandai announced the another run of the HG Neo Zeong? I only heard rumors.
Oh man that was such a cool 1/100 build I’m starting my first mg the deathscythe. I can’t wait to get me hands on the barbatos though. And just got 4 rg’s from you guys. Thanks for the great show.
My favorite is the RX 78-2 One Year War, but sadly I’ve yet to build one. I love the old school essence mixed with the modern look with more panel lines.
I’ll take that zaku please… I don’t have enough… I honestly like the MG RX 78 3.0 ver because of its proportions and, in my opinion, more realistic look…
That 1/100 Barbatos looks solid! But I guess I’ll wait for the High resolution Barbatos, is that 1/100 scale or is it 1/60? Can’t wait for the Gusion! It Looks massive!
For MG RX-78-2, I really love the faded color and panel line of the One Year War ver. It has it’s own charm that saying “I’m different from these guys” comparing to the other rx-78-2 MG
For MG RX 78, I think I would probably prefer the ver 3.0 over the others, because I like its sharp, more realistic looks. On the other hand, Ver Origin, or 2.0 looks more like a toy for kids.
I say that 3.0 is the best looking. I love the realistic design, similar to the Ver.Ka and OYW gundam. The combination of the colour separation and proportions on the 3.0 puts it over the top of the others.
Awesome Show, even though i am new to your show, i came in as the 49,000 subscriber to your YouTube Channel on episode 189, Congrats, and didn’t pay attention when you said post to your blog page instead of your youtube channel, so i missed out of the Triple X giveaway =(. i was wondering if you could point me in which direction of your tutorials that you have already done since i have somewhat new to the Gunpla scene, i would like to watch them. And with the new Tutorial Videos you are doing can you do a Video about what supplies are most commonly used for Tools, Paints, and Such. Thanks for these Videos and you now have a weekly viewer.
Welcome aboard! It’s great to have you hear. To watch the older tutorials that are mixed in with our regular Gunpla episodes you can click on the Gunpla TV tab at the top of the page and you’ll be taken to a list of all our episodes. Each episode title should have a description of the episode and tutorials so by browsing the episode titles it shouldn’t take you long to find a tutorial you are looking for.
Thank you, I will be spending the next few days going over your Video logs as in my wife just had surgery today and in-between being her servant i plan on doing some Gunpla and Gunpla Research. I have narrowed it down to three series that i want to collect from as a majority, those being Iron Blood Orphans, Build Fighters, and Seed. My question is do you have a section on your site, or know of a site that can give me a list of Mobile Suits from those Series and if they have or do not have a corresponding Gunpla Kit?
Also the Powered Carriagen (probably spelled that wrong) was an Awesome kit, it was one of my first kits i built. But that White Zuku gave me a crazy idea, which i posted around post 53ish as a reply to someone elses comment. I want to do a Custom Zuku team for polar spec ops. Some Weapon Exchanging and Full Paint, but i will file that idea away for later after i get some good practice in, say after i have built my 30th gunpla i will start my LPBS (Lunar Polar Bear Squadron of zukus =) )
So many cool kits are coming out, but I’m too busy with college and already have 3 kits in my backlog. I wouldn’t mind getting something that’s already built though 😛
Can’t wait for winter break, been pretty busy with college. Need to start building again. Got 27 kits on backlog. Love the show guys! Amazing customer service!
Great episode! I do love the Mk II, but I already have the Titans version of the RG. Maybe I’ll pick up the AEUG version of the Revive? Even though it’s not cold here in the midwestern US (it’s been as warm as 60F recently) I would still love a nice Cardigan for Christmas!
Two weeks ago or so I lost my account, WordPress would not allow me to reset my password and so I also lost the opportunity for those sweet XXXs ;_; But now I’m back, and so is the LED set for the PG Unicorn. Too bad I would literally have to pay an eye to get that kit on my shelf; maybe in the far future… on day… Although, that shelf of mine has a free spot that the GM Cardingan could take.
But in the end, winning is not as important as avoiding spoilers from that trailer you two spoke of. That scared me, don’t do it again, please!
RAISE YOUR FLAGS THE GUSION IS OUT. Was really hyped for the 1/100 Gusion and then i was the pilot and I’m like…alright m8. But anyhow my favorite RX-78-2 would be the One Year War version since its the only one that has a pinkish red instead of just full on red lol.
Hi guys, nice episode as usual. Quick question, did Ryan finish his Falcon before Episode 7 releases? I’m really looking forward to seeing it on the show. Also, the Barbatos frame looks awesome. I wish Bandai would do that with more kits. And out of all the Master Grade RX78-2 my favorite is the 3.0 because the proportions are better, and it looks more streamlined. Thanks for keeping the show alive, and Happy Holidays.
great show as usual. would love to see a top ten gundam buy syd and not limited to just mgs. keep up the great work and ryan everyone wants to see the finished falcon.
Hello peeps, good to see a new guy on the team and help build gunpla’s for the show! Seems like Ryan has less drive (or laziness) to build kits, but it happens to everyone, especially when you’re getting a newborn and star wars is down the road.
