  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 9 months ago

    Syd and Ryan are back from America and only a couple kilograms heavier! In this episode we talk about some of our experiences at Anime Expo and outside of it in Los Angeles. We then talk about the newest Gundams […]

    • I grew up on macross so it’s always nice to see a model kit.

    • A plane with arms and legs never seizes to be silly looking.

    • i have a transformable kit in small scale. not in bigger scale. kinda want one.

    • Ah, it’s good to have you guys back!

      That Macross kit really looked flimsy, but I guess Syd was right. Better for it to fall apart than break. ^^

    • This Macross kit looks interesting. Cannot wait for Iron Blood orphan season 2.
      Can you guys compare the old 1/72 Macross kits in 2010 with this new one?

    • Really impressed at how the transformation gimmick held up in the Macross kit. I would love to see Bandai release more complicated kits like these to showcase their engineering.

    • I always love Jets and Airplanes and that Macross is so awesome!!!
      And as always, good show guys! 😉

    • That’s some fragile plane!

    • Great episode.

    • I just got the first Macros Mecha Collection kit. I love how tiny (and cheap!) they are. Great show as always. I missed you guys.

    • great episode

    • nice episode guys

    • Great episode guys!
      Very noticeable you had some time off and had a blast over in the US!!!
      Except for that poor Todd, tricking him into building that always up to no good Siegfried 😉
      Or should we cal him the Cesar, don’t know why 😀
      Maybe a good title for a movie: Planet of the Macros LOL

    • Love the design of Macross Delta kits. I was looking through HLJ store and noticed that Tomy Tech is producing some Macross Delta kits at 1/144 scale; in particular, there is a set termed as 2 mode set. (http://hlj.com/product/TMT28015/Sci). What does “2 mode set” actually refers to? Robot and plane mode? Or Robot and Gerwalk? OR Gerwalk and Plane mode only?

    • i hope to win the secret price…:D

    • This macross seem nice… But nahhh I’ll just stick to gundam.

    • That Macross kit transformation looked almost as complicated as the MG Delta Plus and V2 ver Ka!

    • Wonder what that mystery kit is hmm

    • Another Mystery kit…. I…. WANT… THAT… KIT….!!!!

    • Great episode and hope to win the secret price !!

    • Welcome back, guys. Of the new kits I may look into the Scramble and Shia Qan[t]. The Barbatos Lupus is most likely for season 2 what the original kit is to season 1, so I’m hoping for the mid-season upgrade to be something in line with the 6th form. If I did get a Lupus I’d also likely get the option kit with the mini-maces and auto-canons.

    • Psyched for the new IBO designs, but I think I’ll wait for some awesome 1/100 kits.

    • I sure do love me some Macross kits, I need to get one of those walkrie stands to go with that.

    • I wonder what the surprise kits will be, I’m so excited, I hope I win at least one lol

      Keep up the great work guys, I look forward to your videos every week.

    • i kinda agree, as much as I love the Macross kits, putting them together and transforming can be flimsy as heck

    • Loving the new IBO designs,and another great episode guy’s.

    • Those new Build Fighters look awesome! Great episode guys!

    • Good to see you guys made it back safe and sound. Hopefully you’ll come to New Zealand Comicon next year and give the gift of reasonably priced Gunpla 🙂

    • Some say he builds life size cities with Pla-Plate, others say he didn’t transform the Macross kit correctly, all we know is, he’s called the Todd.

    • You guys missed a great Those Gundam Guys panel at AX. Luckily, I recorded it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qq9-AsFPDU

    • Watching Todd try to transform the kit made me cringe..too many falling parts 🙁 Then again, that is to be expected from a transforming kit!

    • I hope you guys had a fun time at the Anime Expo! I’ve been waiting patiently for the next episode of Gunpla TV, so it feels so good to see it up. I’ve seen the picture of Syd’s fast food on Facebook so many times that I had to go to McDonalds myself and pick up an Ebi burger, I enjoyed it.

      Don’t you mean “Hi-Nu people” Syd?( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

      I’m really hyped for the Barbatos Lupus, it’s probably my new favorite Barbatos form, he looks even more like a knight in this form, and his red shoulderpads look awesome. The turquoise Graze is my new favorite Graze as well, as the new bulky design is awesome, I love them Ground type feet and I love the color turquoise, so he is going to be greeted with wide arms as well. Type A is obviously an upgraded Rebake. It looks a lot more bulkier, and that’s more fitting for the Gusion, but I sorta preferred the old Rebake more. The Hostile Mobile suit is unique to say the least, I like his head and torso, but the weird design of the limbs and their size turn me off, he reminds me of a hobbit/gnome, which isn’t my cup of tea.

      I am HYPED for the new BF OVA and all the kits. I’m definitely getting all of the new releases besides the Beargguy, could never get into that MS. But everything else looks absolutely awesome, and I love all of their designs.

      The new Gundam Local Type is something I am highly interested in. I always loved the Gundam Ground Type, and it’s clear that they’re related somehow. I love the visor, and am probably going to get it as well. The 1/100 Kimaris Trooper is cool too, but I think i’m going to get the HG instead. The Petit’gguys are meh, they’re recolors, but I was never a big fan of Beargguys, so that’s something.

      I’ve really, really been looking forward to the Siegfried’s review, because I think this may be my first Macross kit. Just by design alone, the Siegfriend Hayate Custom has already become my favorite Macross. Blue has always been my favorite color, and I love the sleek/angular design of the Siegfried. I also always had a knack for transforming things, be it complex and difficult MG transformations, or simple HG partsformations. Since the Macross is even more complex than a transforming MG, I think this will be a nice challenge. The stickers look like a living nightmare though, and is probably what is keeping me from pouncing on the kit, but honestly for a kit that has so many colors and already has a complex build to be able to transform into 3 modes, it’s completely understandable…and Todd…for the antenna…

      there’s something called Tamiya thin cement, and a small copper peg. <3

      I think this is going to be it when the time comes, i'm getting this as my first Macross kit hands down. It may be a nightmare to transform, have tones of falling parts, and is as fragile as an RG, but hey, all transforming Macross kits are as well, and this guy looks good. I'm definitely going to get an action base for him though, i'd be insane not too. I wonder if I would do a review of it when I get it, as I do Gunpla reviews after being inspired by Syd's Gaijin Gunpla blog, but this guy is going to be a nightmare to learn, take pictures of, and write about. XP

      I think I did my Top gear phrase wrong, and i'm going to come clean and say I have no idea what that phrase is about and decided to wing it. But to be honest I don't mind very much, i'll be waiting for your next episode!

      • You are correct. If you take a look at the model number of the Local type you’ll see its RX-78-01. The RX-78-01 was developed into the RX-78-2 and RX-79 (Ground type), so you could say it’s a prototype of it.

        • In a way true. But if I remember, the RX-78-2 Gundam was developed from the RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam, so which came first? The RX-78-01? or the RX-78-1

    • Looking forward for the new GBF Try season and the new kits

    • Don’t worry guys, with Pokemon GO as big as it is, we will all be working with Metric sooner or later.

    • i still wanna win

    • keep up the good work fellas

    • YEY I MISSED YOU GUYS

    • Welcome back. Really excited about the new upcoming kits.
      After seeing that review of the macross, I’m too scared to get one.

    • I was very excited about the prospect of getting a Macross kit that transforms, but after seeing how fragile it is I’m now on the fence about getting one.

    • Solid episode, fellas. Glad you had fun at AX! And that Macross Delta kit looks amazing…and I don’t even watch the show!

    • Perfect practice makes perfect.
      Spoken like a true fellow martial artist.

    • Welcome back!!! looking forward to seeing those kits!

    • finally you guys are back!!! everyday i get on i look to see if there’s a new video and today is the day lol, can’t wait to see all the new things you guys will be bringing out after the expo!

    • Sid, the best In-n-Out stories begin with “it was 1am and I may have been drinking…” Take it from another Cali native

    • I need the Sinanju already! It’s the only thing I’m looking forward to. Dx

    • Really like Macross kits but no room left for me to start getting them lol.

    • Nice new Macross kits but since I paint them I’ll wait for future Hasegawa releases. Bandai Macross kits aren’t really meant to be painted since you’ll get lots of scratches and paint coming off when you transform them from one mode to another, true experience.

    • I see that many many of the new HG kits come with peg style hands now instead of proper trigger fingers. Do the 1/144 builders parts hands fit all the IBO and new HG kits? does the hand armor snap into them properly? Can you guys test them out? I’m interested in buying some since it looks like the hyaku shiki revive won’t have trigger finger hands

      • After reading this comment, I managed to dig up that part. Are you planning to get the EFSF or the Zeon 1/144 builders parts hands? I have only got EFSF version; therefore, I can only comment on that one.

        Overall, the hands work for your HG. On the runner, you are given two different ball joint options. The larger one fits most recent HG kits i.e. Unicorn Gundam, GM II, etc while, the smaller ball joint is better for HG revive series and IBO i.e. Wing Gundam and Gundam Barbatos. Not using the given hand armor from this kit gives have various results. You will have to modify the armor part slightly to get it to fit.

    • What you did for all the Todd entrance was quite nice well done.

    • Welcome back as it has been too long. In regards to the new Barbatos, the design is great and perhaps the name Lupus is foreshadowing some events of season 2. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs, so maybe Tekkadan will fight their own comrades from the last season. Who knows, but it will make an interesting plot. Lastly, I can see someone custom building that new Bearguy into a Sailor Moon or the other Sailor Scouts.

    • This is a secret comment for a secret kit.

    • The fact that you decided to give away a third kit is just another example of why i keep coming back this channel/website because of my love for gunpla. You guys are the best, supplying us with information on the new gunpla to giveaways. Thanks!

    • Welcome back, thanks for the episode…was looking for a fix lol.

    • Welcome back guys! Glad you enjoyed yourselves!

    • The TROOPER! Some Maiden love!

      For the stickers on the macross kit, maybe the pieces still had mold release on them ?

    • I really like the Macross kit. Its so cool that it “Blue” me away XD Honestly this is just “Plane” awesome! Anyways, good job guys; keep up the good work ^_^

    • Todd has a lot of patience. I would have broken the Macross trying to Transform it. It looks nice but id be afraid of breaking the kit

    • Secret giveaway? Keep it secret till the winner receive it, Super Secret gift! Visiting the French Canada soon?

    • already forgot the outro.

    • YES !!!! they read mine THEY READ MIIIIINE !!!! thank you fellas keep up the best of work GAMBATTE Senpaaaaai !

    • The Kimaris Trooper has junk,
      in the truck,
      it’s full of funk,
      and it never stunk;
      too bad it sunk,
      thanks to a blonde haired hunk.

    • Welcome back

    • welcome back to the Japanese diet 😛 #eatmoregunpla

    • I can’t believe Ryan almost forgot his spiel! Going to America made him lose his edge!

    • Looking forward to your review of the HGBF Scrambled Gundam!

    • I don’t usually collect Macross kits but the 31 air frame looks so cool I might just need one anyway. Great episode as usual.

    • Can’t wait for the Build Fighters Try kits, also wondering what the secret kit is.

    • gimme gimme

    • welcome back, and another great episode 🙂

    • Transformable kits:the bane of my builder career

    • I ve built few of this kits. to be truth its not an easy kit. The instruction quite hard and the transformation is very difficult especially the full armor messiah because of all the armament. But its an injection kit. Its not suppose to be play but to display with proud. End result Bandai realy did a good job with macross kits but perhaps they would make the transformation a bit easier.

    • Mystery kit is mysterious!

    • cool ep cant wait for the 1/100 trooper

    • It was great seeing you guys at the Anime expo. I am still sad I missed out on buying that shadow fox from zoids. Unfortunately it is backordered right now but when it is available I will buy one.

      I am now a fan of this channel. Looking forward to the next video and have a great week.

      Stay awesome!

    • That Macross kit look awesome, really looking forward to the Draken one!

    • Scrambled ? Lupus ? Surely they are not that desperate for names ! These ones are terrible !

    • Glad to have you guys back. Great episode I was really curious about the new Macross kits.

    • Thanks for this episode guys! My brother (who builds Macross kits) will probably start building his Siegfried kit soon after he watches this episode. Considering that the Macross kit does not come with an action base, can I give him one of my spare Gunpla action base 2 or does it have to be a Macross specific display stand? The one Todd used looked similar to the action base 2 but I don’t recall seeing that adapter. Thanks again all at HLJ!

    • What is the mystery prize? Thank you!

    • Man that delta kit looks nice but very flimsy. It’s almost here rg heaven will we get a live feed pleae

    • Welcome back! As much as I love gunpla, it’s always nice to see other kits like Macross shown. Keep it up!

    • I finally got my very second gunplay ever 1/144 G-self this is becoming a very addictive hobby time to build agyan lol

    • Great episode guys. Every time I see one of those Macross kits it brings me back to the Robotech game I used to play on my Gamecube all the time.

      Keep up the good work and looking forward to next episode’s kits!

    • The Todd Lol

    • still waiting for the plamo competiton announcement

    • they will apply? is it too late to comment on the last vid then?

    • Awwwww yisssss

    • Welcome back guys! Now give me something! 😉

    • Congratulations on your trip and safe return home, I would like the super secret prize please.

    • Seeing the Macross kit makes me wanna watch the anime.
      Nice little looking guy with that local type.
      Welcome back guys.

    • I like macross kits.

    • I BACKKKKKKK

    • Todd was emotionally scarred by that broken piece, i could see it in his eyes.

    • Oh myyy, the FA Thunderbolt is amazing.

    • Lol that Macross kit falls apart almost as fast as the US will after the next election 😀

    • bloop

    • i wonder what could be the 3rd prize, could it be something from syd and ryan’s trip?!

    • same. I wonder what the prize is. Hope it’s good and congratulations to whoever wins it.

    • The Local type Gundam is love! I must get one and do some weathering

    • Nice episode.
      Are you going to shown video from your trip?

    • I tried IN-N-OUT before, I don’t think it is anything special. Sometime the line can be quite long.

    • I want to get some Macross kits, but I know I’m not gonna have a good time with them. My experience with transforming Gunpla has been pretty bad.

    • Sticker Hell…

    • I have seen other modellers handle it much better in youtube, whatching this make me feel afraid of the one I have in my private warehouse. this does not look enjoyable at all.

    • damn… I want a Macross kit now. >:I

    • Time to get Shaggy and Scooby in on this mystery!!!

    • Great show guys, im thinking of picking up a macross kit or two now. Keep it up.

    • Random mystery price giveaway. Sounds cool

    • Hi guys thanks for the review, after seeing the show i decided to glue some parts to help it stay together. Thanks for the info.

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 10 months ago

    We’ve crammed a lot of stuff into the episode prior to our departure for LA’s Anime Expo 2016. We show some cool Star Wars stuff, show the latest HG kits, and even do a live double build of the new Figure-rise […]

    • “i was made for gunpla baby” 😉 love the artfx but its a bit to spendy for me but i cant wait to see the footage from the expo they are always my favorite episodes to watch

    • great!

    • Never ever ever did I want to win this giveaway so much!! Great episode guys! Hope I get the guncanon or barbatos 🙂

    • I unfortunately missed the sale and I’m kicking myself for it. I hope I can at least win the giveaway this week.

    • Nice show, waiting for more gundam kits!!

    • I want Barbatos and Mace-chan

    • A friendly reminder to the almighty random number generator. I’ve got a pending order with HLJ. What about adding a guncannon or barbatos and save on shipping 🙂

    • I really enjoy the models of the pilots.

    • HG Barbatos for the win

    • ME WAANT GUN CANON!! Awesome work as always. Impulse Gundam looks so cool, need to get one.

    • Great show. HG Barbatos is making me excited for season 2. Any idea when Iron Blooded Orphans busts are coming?

    • I am going to be stoked to see you guys at the Anime Expo 2016.

      I remember last year you gave me a free Epyon poster cause I talked about HobbyLink.tv while at your booth.

      It’s a shame Todd won’t be coming out to LA. Doubly surprised he had a pair of GodHands SPN-120s in today’s episode.

    • gundamuuUuuuuuu!

    • DANG IT i just got the barbatos from hlj XD

    • good show as always guys!
      really love that Macross kit, never build one and thinking to get one just for fun! 😀

    • Sadly, I have never watched Top Gear 🙁

    • so deep

    • hmm… i don’t think i like the way they did the Force Impulse’s shield transformation… i’d feel like i’ll break it lol anyway, great to see one more episode before you guys head out to anime expo and we’ll be here waiting, possibly having withdrawal symptoms from the long break from Gunpla TV.

      meanwhile, we’ll hand over the show to our tame gunpla builder:

      Some say he can use the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead when building gunpla as plastic cement. And that he can make a life-size version of any scale model kits just by staring at one for 123 days non-stop while sipping coffee from his Gundam Front Tokyo mug and listening to Poker Face, the first of which we know as the 1:1 statue in Odaiba. All we know is, he’s called The Todd!

    • Nice!

    • Lovely jubly, I’d love to get that old Guncannon for a little diorama I have planned! 😀

    • i have the mg guncanon but the revive is prety cool

    • Some say he was born with nippers for fingers and that he is married not to a wife but a knife. All we know is, he is called the Todd

    • I can’t help but always be impressed with those busts. Hopefully the Macross Delta look good too.

    • great episode

    • barbatos plz even though he so cheap lol

    • some say he was born when a molding kit got struck by lighting .
      other say he was bit by a radioactive nipper
      one thing is for sure that he is named …. the TOD .

      Barbatos for the win 😀

    • Amazing episode as always

    • the blue on the new macross kits is stickers and water slides? no blue parts?

    • It would be great to win those guncannons or barbatos , just like the HG buster gundams :P, I can’t wait to start my PG unicorn any tips and advice when i’m building the unicorns? always a great show ryan, syd and todd keep up the good work 🙂

    • Just let me win something !!!!! please show lots of awesome stuff at the show too thanks

    • barbatos me… 😀

    • I’m writing this before Anime Expo but you’ll be reading this after. I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again. Here’s hoping I didn’t make an ass of myself.

    • Some say that he built a modelkit of himself and uses that for hobbylinktv episodes. But all we know is he is called the Todd.

    • I’m not really into (snapfit) aircraft kits but I’m big Macross fan so you get extra points for showing that new Valkyrie from Delta 😀

      Bomber!

    • Nice episode as always!
      Cant wait for the RG Sinanju

    • It amazes me how many ‘some say…’ comments Todd is getting now. But how does the man himself feel about them? I can imagine him saying “I’m just a guy who loves gunpla and cuts the pieces off the sprue one at a time, just like all of you.”

      I just raffled off coupons for a Gundam Revive and an HG Barbatos at my Toastmasters club. Guys, it would be awesome if you and the RNG would see fit to send a Barbatos my way — then again, it’s already assembled, isn’t it?

      Reading up on the 72 demons the gundam from IBO are named for, I’m amazed how many of them are described as being helpful and teach the summoner stuff. Barbatos, Gusion, and Kimaris are all pretty powerful. Still can’t get a handle on Astaroth though.

    • Nice episode again ~
      RNG plz come ~

    • I orderd the rx78 2 revive, rx 75 guntank and gm command type. So please random generator i would love to get the guncanons’s

    • Ha, never thought I’d win this! Thanks guys all is forgiven. Or maybe I should try my luck and say I’m still mad? :^)

    • Some say he builds a Gyan as soon as he wakes up, others say that he builds a bazooka every night before he goes to bed. All we know is he’s called the Todd!

    • I’ve been loving gundam since I was a kid, and would love to win barbatos even though it’s unlikely. Don’t have many gunpla due to where I live in ireland,but would love anything regardless

    • Great episode! I wonder if the Seed head bust are awesome or weird….

    • The Barbatos is a great kit!
      But I need a Guncannon with my revive RX-78-2 🙂

    • Some say he can build gunpla blindfolded with his hands tied behind his back, and that he built his first kit years before he was born. All we know is, he’s called The Todd!

    • Some say he’s a newtype and that he became a man when Captain Bright slapped him. All we know is, he’s called THE STODD!

    • Some say molten plastic courses through his body…
      Some say the God Hands his wields are those of God himself…
      All we know is, he’s called the Todd!

    • FA unicorn look sick but unfortunately don’t have the money to purchase such kit but thanks to you guys i’m able to see such kit being build and it really have some kind of good feeling inside kudos to you guys//…….please givev me some kitsss LET ME WIN

    • Great episode guys! The star wars sets look really good! Ah, can’t say the same for the SEED figures, their faces look weird o.O

    • I have always liked the design of the classic guncannon.

    • I want my RX-0!!! Great show!

    • I hope you guys enjoy yourselves at AX2016

    • I hope you guys enjoy yourselves at AX2016

    • Hey guys love the show. Would love to get all the kits I can. Can’t wait for RG Sinanju.

    • i got to have that barbatos 🙂 i don’t have any kit from this series… maybe this will be the first :D. Great episode, thank you for making it .

    • Great episode! Enjoy Anime Expo! Jet Lag!

    • Wish I could go to the show. 🙁

      AMAZING RED WARRIOR, GO!

    • Okay Gundam, where did Ryan touch you? *Gundam points to rear thruster nozzle* *all in attendance gasp in horror*

      Some people say he was found as a young boy and raised by Meijin Kawaguchi,
      others say his collection of Gunpla will one day amass and take over HLJ. All we know for sure is he is called The Todd.

    • Dear HLJ,
      Thank you for the always awesome reviews. I recently walked into a video game shop that sells Gunpla and they were selling the Standard Graze and the Graze Ein for the same price and the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] + Head Display Base. I couldn’t make up my mind, but I started to hear Syd whispering, “Ein! Ein! Ein!” into my ear and I just had to buy the Ein. Thank you so much for helping me with my decision and I hope to see more reviews in the future!

    • GunplaTV is here again and back with more stuff! So let me get absorbed in another great episode once again! :3

      The Kotobukiya Star Wars figures look really awesome! They aren’t kits, but they are still really good looking and would look really nice on a shelf! I love the minor weathering on the Astromechs, they add quite nice realism to the figures. My favourite part of the set though, has to be C-3P0’s slightly dulled, yet gloriously shiny gold finish. It reminds me of the Hyaku Shiki, and looks really good on C-3P0 as well. Kylo Ren looks quite cool too, although he will never be a true replacement for Darth Vader, I honestly find his character more like a whiny kid than a menacing, intimidating leader like I thought he would be. The new macross kit definitely peaks my interest, I like it’s sleek, sharp design and the blue is awesome! But well…blue is my favourite color, so that’s a factor. If only they were to scale with Gundam…that decal sheet is really scary though, clear stickers for me! This kit itself may actually convince me to watch the anime as well. I’m actually curious why Ryan would know such a personal fact of Todd…Ryan? Explaination please?

      I love Todd’s serious face that he was doing before you notified him that they were up, he just looks so nervous, but at the same time he looked so intimidating. XD
      The Figur-rise busts are interesting, and the engineering used to create them is indeed impressive. However, I just don’t see me paying the price of an HG for one, and the original concept doesn’t really interest me all that much, the Chara Stand plates is what I personally prefer, although the regular old-fashioned action base is what I like the most due to it being the most practical, simple and effective. I still hope we get Chara Stand plates for characters outside of IBO though, a Char plate would be awesome! On screen builds are cool though, so i’m glad you did one with these, and with Todd as well! 😀
      I don’t see a reason why we shouldn’t weather the busts. We should give them a gunk wash, panel lines, extra decals and a matte coat while we’re at it! o/
      The FA Unicorn would be a cool thing to get with the RG Sinanju, as I stick to my previous theory that this release was Bandai trying to make up for not being able to make an RG Unicorn, hence a repeated release with more weapons, a different psychoframe color, and RG style decals. Not complaining though, more Gunpla is always good, but when will Bandai make an HG Shokew is my true question. Todd shouldn’t be complaining though, Fully Armored MS and bazookas means more weapons, more weapons means more building, and more building means more fun with Gunpla! Hooray!

      Wait, Todd shares my theory as well?! We are long lost brothers Todd-senpai. (ಠ_ಠ)

      The HGCE Force Impulse is definitely the release I was really waiting for. I’m currently saving up for the P-Bandai Blast Impulse. I love the Impulse Gundam very much, and the fact that i’m such a fan of Lunamaria (not as much for Shinn, but he’s cool too) just adds to the Impulse’s appeal to me. The splitting gimmick is some really nice, yet simple engineering, so kudos to Bandai there, but the unpainted core splendor and force silhouette cockpit look quite bad though, and definitely needs some work. The fact that Bandai advertises the painted product is a peeve of mine as well, so you’re not alone there. It seems like Bandai has only been giving us a single pair of hands, on recent HG’s. I assume the reason is to save plastic, and therefore costs, but open hands are a useful option to have, so I hope Bandai wakes up on that. The fact that the kit balances well, even with the Force Silhouette pack is really cool though! That’s definitely going to help with the action poses.

      My friend gave me an HGUC ReZEL which is currently watching Gunpla TV while cheering you guys on right next to me on my desk, and an HG00 00 Gundam Seven Swords/G for my birthday. I knew there was something suspicious when he wanted to use my HLJ account for the 5% coupon I had. He had also bought a HG 1/100 Heavyarms Kai EW, but sadly, it hasn’t been in stock yet. I also picked up a Revoltech Vox Aura while the kits were in the private warehouse as it was insanely cheap. It’s a good figure to anyone who is reading, it may have some paint inconsistencies, but it’s a small figure, so they aren’t terribly noticable. It articulates extremely well too, and has a really sleek and curvy design, I highly recommend the figure to any mecha fan, and I also highly recommend the Anime for anyone that’s interested. I’m about halfway through it, and i’m quite enjoying it so far! 😀

      You’re telling me to do one for Todd, but i’m going to come up with one for all 3 of you just because I can. Who knows? Maybe my 3 senpai’s will notice me.

      For Syd:

      Some say he’s a lightning fast builder, and that he can build kits even in the wild, with nothing but his teeth and hands. All we know, is that he’s got a lucky job and should enjoy it as much as possible.

      For Ryan:

      Some say he’s a macross purist, others say that he needs his kits to be big, fun with tones of gimmicks for extra enjoyment. All we know, is that he shouldn’t paint on the runner. Ever again.

      For Todd:

      Some say he brings his modelling tools wherever he roams, and that he always cleans nubmarks on his kit. All we know, is that he always has a convenient lightsaber in arms-length reach, in case he needs to duel Syd anytime at the warehouse.

    • Great show guys!

    • Show me the Guns, you dismal knight!!!!!
      Some say he has a foot fetish for flats than heels.Others,say he’s just attracted to big guns.One thing is certain,his name is Todd.

    • Hi HLJ 🙂

      Sid, Ryan, Todd and the rest; thankyou so much for bringing so many great Gundpla TV videos to Youtube and also opening myself up to other kits I wasn’t aware of (like Star Wars and Macross). I would definitely buy off you IF ONLY you had a store in the UK as tarrifs are quite high when it comes to paying shipping… However! That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy your videos, I like them alot! Sometimes I even find quite a few laughs out of you guys 🙂 not to mention how awesome you guys are for going to the trouble to go to events like Gundam Expo to document the experience for people like myself who cannot afford to go to conventions like those.

    • guncannons! that was the first kit i built from the original series. i really need to get a new one. and i need to get a barbados

    • Some say he is actual the prototype for the next grade of Bandai kits and his joints are nothing more than wobbly polycaps…all we know is that he is called The Todd.

    • I really like how the old kits are getting the revive treatment, i hope suits like rick dom, GM line will get a revive upgrade!

    • Some say he recites all 43 eps of MS Gundam in his sleep each night, and that he`s able to use his nippers to eat…soup. All we know is, he`s called The Todd.

    • Barbatos Barbatos Barbatos, though ill probably be getting a macross kit.

    • Guncannon is the only MS of the V project that I don’t have! It’s strange because I like it a lot. But with all these new awesome ms the old ones are often the “second choice”.
      I feel I will win this time because I love Guncannon (and Barbatos was very good too)!

    • Some say that he has a vast amount of knowledge on all Gundam series, and that he is planning to overthrow Syd’s role in Gunpla TV. All we know is, he’s called The Todd.

    • Another great episode, keep up the good work!

    • Some say he’s Gyantastic, he’s… the Todd

    • Some say he eats Ramen noodles with a set of nippers and a hobby knife. Some say he cuts parts off the runner so well he doesn’t need to clean the nubs- even on plated kits. Some say he took down more that 209 zeon pilots during the one year war. All we know is his name is Todd.

    • Some say he perfected his art of model building after years of intense training under the Grand Master of Gunpla, Katsumi Kawaguchi. Other knows him as the new guy on HobbyLink TV. Master of the nippers and encyclopedia of Gundam lore. All we know is, he’s called Todd.

    • I’m really liking the Star Wars models, its just too bad about the ships availability in other markets as they seem much better than the revell ones.

    • havent won anything in a while now. BLESS ME RNJESUS

    • Nice Impluse and have fun in anime expo. Also, I WANT TO BE A WINNER! 🙂

    • See you guys in America

    • Great stuff as always guys!

    • Great episode as always! Just recently got PG Unicorn and PG Banshee from your sale! You guys are awesome as always with your sales.

      P.S. I took vacation money to buy those…I couldn’t pass up a good deal.

    • That full armor looks GODLY

    • i wanna win

    • gun cannon

    • That macross kit, i need more macross!

    • Some say he was born with a pair of God’s hands and that he built his first gunpla at 10 months old!

      All we know is, he’s called the Tod!

    • Another great video guys,love those busts.
      Some say he is an android that was built and programmed to slowly put Syd out of a job,and some say is is the love child of Master Kawaguchi and a Beargguy,all we know is he’s called the Todd.2000.

    • I love that star wars set, it’s magnetic!!! I hope its force is strong, so that I could stick BB8 in my refrigerator… 🙂

    • I’d love to have those guncannons! The design is so simple and I love it.

    • I would love to win my first kit and have it be an IBO kit !!!

    • See yall at AX~

    • Great to see the unboxing of that VF31J I just ordered one from you guys, its my first adventure outside of gunpla hopefully my experience from building the PG unicorn and MG phenex help me not break it.

    • Awesome episode as always – I’m currently saving up to grab that gorgeous Victory Gundam Ver Ka and a HG Danazine from you guys… Not exactly a favourite design for a lot of people, but I think that a green, futuristic mecha dragon is too good to pass up.

      Have fun at the con, best of luck guys!

    • what a jam-packed episode! Enjoy every second of it. Hope i win the Guncannons, the design is so classic.

    • damn I really wanted that hyaku shiki 🙁

    • some say his nippers are overpowered others say he has the voice of a golden god all we know is he’s called the TODD

    • Nice Star Wars Figure

    • Some say he can cut off plastic with 0 nub marks while using the wrong ends of his nippers, others say he built the 1:1 Scale Gundam in a day and called it a ‘scratch build’. All we know is he’s called ‘The Todd’.

    • Some say that He is a fugitive for manslaughter a man for leaving a nub mark ,and that He banned from flying planes by FAA due to his high plastic blood levels … All we know he’s called the TODD

    • Great show guys. I have the Kotobukia Nightwing and Robin they also have the magnetic bases and i thought it was amazing, good to see they still have it. I bought a barbatos 6th form realized he only had the wrench mace thingy so i got the first Barbatos as well, now if i win he’ll have 2 maces mwahaha. Random Number Generator you have failed me for the last time.

    • I hope you have lots of fun at Anime Expo! Keeping my fingers crossed for HLJ eventually coming to an european convention. 😀

    • i finally got my RG OO QAN[T]
      its really enjoyable, very statisfied by it
      anyway

      some say
      he is a tame gunpla builder
      other say
      he turn into hulk if you dont let him clean nubmarks
      all we know is he’s called the Todd!

    • Just saying… the Guncannon is my favorite suit… :3

    • Love that Impulse…just wish the core fighter had some more color separation.

    • The look of fear on Todd’s face as he receives the VF-31! That’s going to be one tough model XD

    • I love seed/destiny… I’m sad that the blast impulse is p-bandai but I pre-ordered it anyway because its from seed/destiny… the con of it being p-bandai is sometimes I like buying multiples of the same kit… but p-bandai kits are a little bit expensive and limited release which make me sadder.

    • Some say he is the “Chuck Norris” of the Gunpla world, all we know for sure is he is called “The Tod”.

    • Some say he forged a Gunpla with the core of a star, and that he painted it with comet’s dust. All we know is he’s called the Todd.

    • Some say he has an gang of Gyans he built himself that he has dubbed “The Gyang”. Others say he fought Darth Sid in a parking lot, an event that was ignored by two women who were present at the time, and didn’t get a copyright claim from Disney. All we do know is that he is called ‘Todd’.

    • Don’t forget to eat that Murrican food! All these Top Gear-style comments are making Todd great again!

    • The force impluse looks good but shame there’s no separation on the core fighter, but then I guess it is 1/144 so need to scale back expectations.

    • I hope the new macross kits are good.

    • Hoping that a Sword Impulse will be on the way soon. Been wanting the MG but there are so many nice MG’s at the same price range that I want more. The hg Impulse looks really good so hoping Sword will come out and be just as nice.

    • Keep Up the good work guys! see you at the expo!

    • give gundams!

    • Some say, his joints are actually oversized
      polycaps…

      …others say he actually has nippers for hands…

      All we know is… he’s called the Todd!

      Also really hoping for the Barbatos, I never got the chance to get any IBO kits due to my rubbish job =(

    • Enjoy the anime Expo. 🙂

    • That’s a great episode! Have a safe trip guys! and enjoy! Don’t forget to share us all what happened in the Anime Expo. Can’t wait for that episode to be up!

    • Maybe one of these days you guys could come to Florida? We have conventions here too! The Gunpla sellers at my local cons are always way overpriced (most of the kits were $13-$40 above HLJ’s prices) and not very fun to talk to, so I think Florida cons could use more people like you!

    • Hello Syd & Ryan! When you go to Anime Expo in Los Angeles, are you going to stay in a hotel or airbnb? Thank you for making all the videos!

    • Some say that he was born in California, North America and that he learnt how to use a pair of nippers and sanding sticks before he can use a knife and fork, and that his first word was Gunpla. Others say that he was made as a 1:1 P-Bandai exclusive in Shizuoka, Japan and that his inner frame is comparable to that of the Astray Red Frame. All we know is that he is called the Todd.

    • hope for good news in expo!

    • Some say he builds only Gundam kits at home. Others say he packs only Gundam kits to ship to customers at work. All we know for sure that he is called “The Todd”.

    • Love the show, been watching from ep1. Your pre-builds of the kits helps me out on my buying of most kits. Keep up the Great work and Show.

    • Love the episode, liking the figurize bust. Can’t wait for the char ver. Hope I get the guncannons…ppppllllzzzz!!!

    • Great episode as usual guys. Still salty they’re making the blast impulse a P-Bandai.

    • Can I have those kits?

    • Aaahhhh! That FA Unicorn… will definitely get one!
      Looking forward on your Anime Expo coverage. Cheers!

    • Forgot to comment on the last video, but now I remembered.

    • .. bandai!. make zaku warrior revive please !!! ….

    • Looking forward to hearing some interesting stories about your experiences at Anime Expo.

    • Great show guys. Have fun at Anime Expo. Can’t wait for the next episode.

    • Would love to get one of those kits!

    • I hope those figure busts become a succes. Would love to see Uso and Loran personally, but that might take a while.

    • Hey Syd and Ryan,

      Long time no see/comment.
      If you recall, I came by and visited you guys at the HLJ HQ three years ago.
      A lot has happened to me since then and I fell off the Gunpla TV wagon for a couple years. I just finished going back to watch all the episodes I missed from late 2014 up to the present episode. I’m kicking myself for missing out on all those chances at the cool giveaways you had.
      Anyway, I’m back into gunpla and kit build now in a big way thanks to you guys. I dugout some 90’s no grade models kits that have been in my closet for YEARS and started putting them together. Even an old Patlabor Helldiver kit. Then I bought a bunch of RG kits from a local store that was having a hugh sale. RX-78-2, Zaku II, Char’s Zaku II, Zeta Gundam, and RG RX-178 Gundam Mk-II Titans & AEUG. Plus, two MEGA SIZE kits, RX-78-2 and Char’s Zaku II.
      BUT, even better! I also made my VERY FIRST purchase from HLJ.com when I pre-ordered the RG MSN-06S Sinanju!

      I would have loved to have come seen you guys at comic con, but that is not possible since I am saving up for my visit to Japan in November. I’d like to come by and see you guys again and this time buy some kits while I am there. 🙂

      Keep up the great work guys!
      Oh, and Tod also.
      Some say he’s the love child of Amuro and Sayla. All we know is that he’s the Stod.

      Cheers,
      Mark

    • Is the unicorn gundam featured in this episode a hg?

    • C3p0 with the Venom Snake arm.

    • Seems this wont split off like the old hg every time u take it on hand GG

    • I think Im too late for this XD

    • wondering when will the competiton be. Can’t wait for it

    • There has never been a better time to start a Guncannon collection.

    • everytime you guys update my heart skips a beat of happiness!! Love you guys and keep up the good work!

    • I like the design of the valuable pod gyan head on the revive gyan! Only wish the colors matched.

    • Freedom

    • The Valuable Pod is just here sitting unopened waiting for the revive Gyan. AND THE SHOULDER PADS WON’T EVEN FIT. The hell are you now Gyan? Too cool for late 80’s-early 90’s fashion?

    • After the review of the Quanta, compared to the HG, the RG seems only slightly better than the HG.

    • great show guys!

      long post… I was wondering how common the error that Kakarot197 had with his Gyan sholders.. since where wasn’t any mention of it…. it wasn’t common.. great display of all the 1/144s!

      Both the RG Quant and Sinanju looks great! too bad they are just a little too small for my eyes. =(

      I finally got all my spring sale and Freedom 2.0 haul in and now a Summer sale!!! Curse you guys!!!! looks like I will have some stuff in my PWH to be shipped with my Full Armor TB.

      Have a great Tuesday! laters!

      • Ohhhhh yeah… Top Gear 3.0 . Sure it’s not as great at Clarkston/May/Hammon.. but if you go back and watch any of the first 2 seasons from the last series…. its was pretty meh too..

        lets just home they pull it together sooner than later…

        ok, laters, for real this time.

    • Love the RG Sinanju. Now what should I do with my un-built HG Sinanju …

    • I got a freedom revive version already, Well adding two will not be a problem for a trio :p

    • I need some freedom
      Freedom for my people
      I want some freedom

      For my people
      Freedom, freedom, freedom
      Freedom for my people

    • Thats one Gyantastic Episode

      You can use the Ballden arm Arms, it has an adapter that can make the old arm compatible with the HG revive torso

    • Give me Freedom!

    • freedom !!

    • Hi guys,
      Thanks again for putting up a great show.
      Wow, what a wonderful letter. Me too started 35 yrs ago. My first gunpla was the 1/144 RGM-79 GM (Could get the RX-78-2 back then because it was so popular and sold out in seconds..LOL). After 30+ years, a my buddy re-introduced me back to gunpla. I was hooked. 2013 was my first time purchase gunpla from you guys. 90% of my gunpla also comes from you, so THANK YOU for providing the service and products to me. One of the online model group trying to do a Bandai Group build, starting Jun 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016. I’ve a list of my favorites including the RG Sinanju to build. By any chance I may posted them up in you site that would be great.
      Thank you again.

    • I just got the MG Freedom 2.0 at my local Comicon. It lives up to all the hype you built for it Syd!

    • I just caught up in the backlog of episodes I had, So many cool kits out, can’t wait to get some more

    • Hey guys! Love the quanta design and have been wanting to get it since the 1st MG came out. Anyways, WHY NO 00 KITS BANDAI?!?!?!

    • Loving Gunpla TV as usual, just can’t get behind the new theme intro tho. Sounds like something from the Speed Channel from 10 yrs ago. Here’s to winning anything cause you lucky bastards are obviously used to winning!

    • Freedom! This episode got me remembering the time when I discovered hlj. Hlj taught me the differences between gunpla grades. Hlj looked like a sketchy site back then. I think it was when I was 9 yrs old and I’m 19 now haha

    • That RG 00 quanta look nice

    • Pretty punny title I see. Really looking good forward to the rg sinanju after building my hguc sinanju. I can see why the small parts of the quant can be finiky.

    • ONE PUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN…………..CH

    • nice episode as always…. and there seems to be no problem with the Gyan’s shoulder part… now I can wait for my Gyan to arrive with ease…

    • cannot wait for rg sinanju u convince me of buying the oo qan t

    • Gyan Revive Hype!

    • Nice

    • I have watched the latest top gear. It seems good but Chris Evans seems a bit shouty for my liking.

    • Great episode guys, love the look of the sinanju RG having some new gimmicks. However I believe that the RG line is getting watered down a bit. Compare the newer ones to the first few kits like the RX-78-2, MkII, Zeta and GP01s which had a lot more armor separation and required much heavier panel lining.

    • I’m so excited to see you guys again at AX. I will be working at the Robots4Less booth this year.

    • FREEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

    • DIBBBBBBSBSBSS

    • I need to win those 2 freedom kits @.@ just finished building the 2.0 and what a beast that kit is! No polycaps is the way to go!

    • They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • GIMME FREEDOMEEEE!!

    • that rg sinanju man, cant wait for that.
      二人ともいつもお疲れ様でしたw

    • everybody cant wait for rg sinanju, while i cant wait for the new red astaroth and mg zaku thunderbolt!

    • I like the look of the new gyan.. much more sharp and doesn’t look goofy..

    • cant wait for rg shinanju. just hope those gold parts come of the runners nice and smooth.

    • Any episode where Ryan gets to talk about zoids or star wars is a great episode.

    • Love the fact how Todd prepared for this episode. I wish he would do it whenever its possible from now on. Also about the new Gyan head. True the visor looks better but the head spike is way worse (yeah i know safety reasons…. bla bla bla). And about old kits. Not all of them are bad. I strongly recommend Todd and everyone else building Z-Type Zaku (http://hlj.com/product/BAN01348/Gun). I think thats the best old kit (by old i mean from the 80’s) – I’m building and modifying it now and im having a blast.

    • I refuse to watch the new Top Gear, I’m just rewatching all the old episodes. I need to get an Amazon Prime membership to watch Top Gear’s true successor 😀

    • That liger.

    • wish the local hobby shops had zoid kits also i cant wait to buy 2 of thems sinanjus.

    • Looks like there’s plenty going on with the RG Sinanju to make up for the lack of armor color separation. I can’t wait to see what it looks like with all the RG stickers applied.

    • please syd lemme win!!!

    • nice Gyan family 🙂

    • that mp shield liger is the same size of kittens. wonder how they would react to that.

    • This episode was excellGyant!

    • So many Gyan puns, you guys were on fire! I love it! xD

    • Awesome episode as usual guys. Still dying to see the MG Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt both on the show and in my house eventually.

    • This weeks show was Gyantastic folks. Currently working on the MG Sinanju at Syd’s recommendation and Im super impressed. Thanks for the awesome recommendation.

    • I love topgear soo much..
      But i dont think it’ll be the same without the trio

      Ill be getting my rg qant soon
      Really looking forward to it

      Yikes.. 2 freedom..
      Want

    • give me FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Double Freedoms all the way across the sky!!

    • Syd, it sounded like you were having some mic trouble while talking about the Qan[t]. I’m thinking of getting it for one of my nephews as an introduction to the RG line. Would you recommend it?

      SUPER SUMMER SALE! SUPER SUMMER SALE! SUPER SUMMER SALE!

    • Dat Quanta thou ….
      makes me salivate <3

    • that liger looks awesome but those freedoms are amazing 🙂

    • I’ve been waiting and checking the channel every week in anticipation for this episode to come! And right into the action I have to say that the Shield Liger looks absolutely beast. I love how the parts just work in tandem to make it look realistic while it’s walking! But this week what i’ve really been waiting for were the Gundam reviews, because I am literally on the edge for both the RG 00 Qan[T] and the HGUC Gyan Revive. Right off the bat I was both surprised and pleased of the Gyan party. My initial thoughts were “Holy crap all these puns…” but my later thoughts included things like “Typical Revive articulation? That was a needed update!” It’s a bit disappointing that the Valuable pod doesn’t work with it, oh well, I guess I’ll just get the regular HGUC Gyan if I wanted a Gyan Vulcan, and I can’t help but think that that was Bandai’s plan all along, so they could continue selling the old Gyan kits. Still, it’s earned a place on my wishlist. For the RG Qan[T] though, i’m still a bit on the fence. I want to get it to have the Exia, 00 Raiser & Qan[T] because Setsuna is awesome. But the kit just doesn’t really scream to me to buy it. (Syd, do you think I should also get the HG Virtue, Kyrios and Dynames because Gundam 00?) But I do like how it looks with the bits on the shield, I dunno…

      But holy crap does that guy have a lot of Gunpla! My dream is to be able own that many kits and more when I grow up! It’s a big dream, but one that I want to follow. Gunpla is love, Gunpla is life!

    • The walking zoid was awesome! Winning two Freedom is awesome too.

    • FREEDOM! Times 2

    • Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju…

      Here! TAKE MY MONIES!!!!

    • Hi Syd and Ryan! Great show! Shield Lifer is my favourite zoid from the series! Loved seeing it in action!

    • Great episode! Bandai is really spoiling us with the RG line, with so many awesome kits coming out…

      Can’t wait to get my hands on the RG Sinanju.

    • Freedom! One of my favorite Gundams along with its sister suit, the Justice!

    • Great episode! Love the new RG 00Q !!

    • First time commenting on the Hobby Link TV site. Syd, Will there be a live build of the RG Sinanju? and Ryan, saw the first episode of the new Top Gear and vowed never to watch again. It was awful.

    • Awesome episode, can’t wait to get my Quanta!

    • Great episode guys! The Qan[t] looks awesome! Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju!

    • Just finished building and painting my Crossbone Gundam Ver Ka. and was deciding what to get next. Now I have 3 hard choices, 00 Quan[t], MG God Gundam or save up a bit and finally get MG Deathscythe Custom to go with my Wing Custom. Really hoping they finally put out an MG Heavyarms Custom at some point. I’m assuming it hasn’t because of weight issues with the double Gatling Guns.

    • I wish I could go to meet you guys…

    • can’t meet you guys at anime expo cuz I’m a student in another country…. well agn hope to win…

    • I need some freedom…

    • Great episode!
      Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju!

    • Rg qan(t) best. Thanks for the wonderful show u have put up. Hope this will carry on for many years.

    • Zoids, I still have a few of these from my primary / elementary school years. A few of the wind up ones and one motorized (the transport snail).
      ExtravanGYANza should have included the news of the upcoming HGBF Gyan kit. Speaking of new kits, so excited about the RG Sinanju. Was about to order the MG. But when saw your show coverage, I knew I wanted the RG instead.
      As for Top Gear, I dunno. It just feels weird without those three.

    • Another great episode guys and keep up the awesome work. I am so stoke that RG Sinanju will be released just in time for my B-Day. In addition, I saw at the Expo pics that there was a small plaque with a P-Bandai release of kit; do you guys have any speculations on what it will be?

      As for Top Gear, I saw a bit of the new show and it doesn’t have the same spark. The two host, Chris Evans (not Captain America) and Matt LeBlanc, feels like they are reading straight from a script and as a result the chemistry is flat. It almost seemed forced and and for sure more tamed from before. Perhaps they need a third cast member to change up the dynamics, but mind you it is too early to speculate.

    • That gyan’s level of detail kinda reminds me of RG quality or a RE 1/100.

      They definitely did a phenomenal job with it.

    • This episode was GYANtastic! Great episode as always guys. I am in love with that shield liger. I may need to cave in and get one myself. I actually had a few month break from doing anything with plamo, and now I have about 11 kits in my backlog. Including the new MG Victory Two Ver Ka. Can’t wait to start this. Your video on it got me hyped. Anyway, thanks for keeping me entertained with each new episode!

    • New top gear sucks .. :,(

    • Nice chap, waiting to see the glossy finish of the Sinanju and check the dust on it 🙂

    • Hey! That’s pretty good!

    • Splendid episode as always!!!

    • Good ep and review of rg qan t

    • No color separation for the RG sinanju???????? those are sad news for me, You broke my heart, that was the RG kit that I was waiting for,and I love the color separation on the rg kits, but with no color separation, for me it’s nothing but a glorified HG… I’m really, really sad of learning that, I guess I’ll cancel my preorder…

    • i’m in the minority who doesn’t care much for the Sinanju… i’d rather have the Sinanju Stein. something about all those pointy things at the edges. it’s not the same vibe as the spikes on a lot of zeon suits. that’s just me tho. i wish the Stein had a monoeye though… too expensive to buy the red Sinanju just for the head lol

    • I’m not even a fan of the sinanju design, but arghhhh, that kit looks freaking awesome!!!

    • Great episode as always, the 00 Quan-bracket T bracket looks pretty amazing; it’s been ages since I watched 00 and it’s always a little hit of nostalgia whenever these RG’s come out since they’re usually from older series. And you can tell that Bandai spent that time engineering an amazing kit every time.

    • Great show guys!….regards and keep the good job!

    • RG sinanju???!?!?!?!?

      How about clone trooper model kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • That Liger is looking goooooooooooood!!!!

    • The hype for the RG Sinanju is real! I honestly cannot wait until the kit is released. Hope to see you guys at Anime Expo!

    • Oh Top Gear 🙁 Apart from Gundam, cars are huge in my life sure check out my profile pic to see what a sensible (not) 24yr old car fanatic buys for his second car.
      The show made me cringe the whole way through watching it, Chris Evans really annoyed me, He doesn’t know squat about cars which you can tell by what he says about the cars he is reviewing and his shouting. Matt leBlanc just seemed way too stiff and felt like he was only there for the pay cheque. I know old Top Gear was scripted but at least they made it feel that it wasn’t. The funny thing is the could make the show 10 times better by replacing Chris Evans with Chris Harris who is doing a Top Gear spin off after the main show. Harris is a youtuber, that guy knows his cars and he can drive!
      ***P.S. I don’t comment on episodes where the kit being given away is one I wouldn’t want because someone else may be dying for it so should this comment win please give the kit to someone else, I came here for the Top Gear rant :)***

    • Love the Gyans!

    • i actually re-watched the gundam 00 a wakening of the trailblazer movie recently! i was wondering when the rg quan[t] was coming out.

    • Been looking forward to the RG Qan[T]. Great review.

    • #Gyang

    • Gyanko would shed a tear!

    • wow! 206th episode.. nice episode guys.. if the rg sinanju comes out please do a live video building it syd! pls! pls and pls! can’t hardly wait for it to come out!

    • I’m really digging that masterpiece zoid. I just purchased the highend master model liger zero from HLJ and love it.

    • DynamoJoe, you da real MVP!

    • Great show, wish I could go to expo…

    • McCloud! No it’s Wallace, get it right! Great episode guys, although why did they start a new brand with Revive when they were already doing so with the HG[enter universe here]?

    • Argh!!! way too many Gyan puns!!! Great episode as always.
      Thanks for the little history insight, I had no clue older gunpla kits were that… simple.
      But damn that Qan[t] looked fragile, hope I’ll be proven wrong once I get my hands on it.
      Sinanju HYPE!

    • I feel like I need to comment aGyan lol

    • It’s the Gyan-pocalypse!

    • Once again very informative episode guys, keep up the good work. I’m a long time Youtube viewer, first time hobbylink commenter.

    • Double freedom!

    • Is it Gyantastic or Qantastic? 🙂

    • I would love to win those two Gundam models for my wife 🙂

    • Hey guys, that Sinanju looks amazing. Might be the first RG I ever pick up. Keep up the amazing work.

    • Wow, the Liger is amazing! What a nice letter from Dynamo, you guys deserve the praise. Thanks again for another great episode.

    • Aww syd almost looked moved to tears by that email.

      freeeeeeeeeeedom

    • Wow I might buy the quan[T] Kit just for that sword!

    • How many kits are too many…

    • I spent 20 minutes attempting to think of a good ‘Gyan’ pun, all i could think of was ‘Gyan’k you for the episode 🙂 Loved the Zoid,my dad thought it was amazing and was asking why my Gundams couldn’t walk like that. 70 comments for the last episode…. im sorry Syd i think it was the Heat Metal.

      For Freedom for Justice for DESTINY!

    • Keep up the awesome work!! Hope I can save up enough money to go to California and visit the Anime Expo and see you guys one day 🙂

    • kool ep guys

    • Great episode guys, and you can never have enough sinanju. Definitely one of my favorite suits.

    • what a gyantastic episode!But Ryan’s Liger is the highlight of the episode.

    • can I have some freedom, please? 😀

    • That’s a sweet looking Shield Liger! I hope Takara Tomy gives us the other ligers…if not the entire Zoids franchise itself!

      *I’m looking at you Death Stinger and Berserker Fury*

    • Syd a Liger is the child of a Male Lion and a Female Tiger, and will only occur in captivity because Lion and Tiger habitats don’t cross over each other. CONVERSELY if the Parents of the cub are a Male Tiger and a Female Lion, then the resulting cub is known as a Tigon instead.

      Also on another note I wonder if the Tigon was the inspiration for the name of the Tryon 3 in anyway, because after all according to Meijin Kawaguchi GUNPLA IS FREEDOOOOOOMMMM!

      “This comment is not sponsored by Meijin Kawaguchi the 3rd or Kira Yamato, all mentions of and use of the term gunpla is freedom has been my own use and not forced upon me by any outside party, regardless of if it is true or false.”

    • The rg sinanju hype is real!!!!

    • I can remember trying to build the motorized Zoids EZ-016 Zaber Fang kit with my dad around 13 years ago when I was 9 (I watched the anime and wanted it). Didn’t go to well as I had no patience for dealing with it when the parts wouldn’t stay together (my dad also has no skill with model kits which I knew from previous endeavors). I don’t think it was ever completely together but it was enough for me at the time. however it didn’t stay that way for long. It is now in pieces mostly lost some where but with a remaining few the head, left front and back leg parts and the all important motorized torso still in my possession. I always wanted to put it back together some day if I found the rest of it (very unlikely to happen).

    • RAGE ON GUNPLA!!!!

    • great show guys. 🙂

    • We asked and Ryan delivered, well done. Now waiting for that delicious RG Sinanju…

    • That Liger is slick! It’s like a housecat you don’t have to clean up after! Also… Double Freedoms would be really nice to have…

    • Awesome episode.

      Of course now I have to watch a favourite movie of mine ( Still Crazy ) due to one of the songs in it. SCREEAAAAAAM FREEDOOOOM!!!!!! Damn Bill Nighy’s a great actor.

    • Nice episode. I love what they’re doing with the revive line. Hopefully they’ll do the Wing Zero Custom and the Deathscythe Hell Custom revive, although the later as an RG would be awesome. Thanks again for a nice show.

    • Great episode guys! Never enough Gyan, can’t wait for the Gyancelot!

    • That was an awesome episode guys. That Shield Liger is a beast (yes, pun intended). I hope to see more reviews and you guys have brought me back into the Zoids fold. I haven’t been interested in them since it came on Toonami years ago when I was a child. I’m looking forward to building my first kit soon. Good luck to all of you and to Ryan with the kids!

    • another great episode guys. looking forward to the RG shinanju, especially since i might be able to get one soon. giving away twin freedom’s? thats nuts

    • The RG Qan T looks so much better than the HG

    • Gunpla is FREEDOM!!!!

      My RG 00 Quan[T] is on its way from you guys, can’t wait to see how it stacks up next to the excellent RG Exia and 00!

    • Great episode! RG 00 Quan[T] looks great! but I guess I’ll still buy the MG.

    • Aw yis
