WIP 06: Masked up the blue thrusters on the bottom of the feet and finished off the grey pieces. Masked up the vents on the legs and also added an extra rectangle…
WIP 05: Most of the inner frame is now painted, I ran out of crocodile clips to paint all the parts in one sitting. Another painting session planned for Friday, which I’ll finish off the dark grey frame parts.
WIP 04: Finally got started painting. The red parts are painted light blue and the dark blue parts are now a popping orange. I’ve also just started priming the grey frame pieces. Slowly but surely with this build.
In this episode Todd is probably a little too excited talking about the newest Option set while Syd finally finished the MG Providence Gundam and brings everything out for all to see.
I want the next RG to be ground gundam. Then the fragile mess that will be the unicorn that then would only not be in RE 1/100 as the only active line that it doesn’t have at least 1 version.
HGUC Tristan seems to be reusing the old HGUC Alex mold, can’t say i’m not skeptical about that. Love the design, but i’m not super confident the kit’s going to live up to modern expectations. MG Justice is looking awesome, now to debate whether I want this or the RG. The HG Dantalion is what i’m the most hype or here, the design is so sick, and while i’m scared for color separation due to it being an HGIBO kit, the design wins it for me anyways. Fumina fanservice needs to stop, the new Petit’gguys are interesting with their signs. Schwarz Ritter is looks absolutely sick, the lame gold is lame, but the design is an absolute winner, I want one. The Ground Gundam S looks epic, that beam effect makes me instantly interested, now I want to see it colored. I’m extremely hype for the Barzam, I really love the design of Barzam, and this HG looks awesome. It’s nice to finally have one, and I definitely want one. The new chara’gguys are interesting, i’d like to see more though.
The RG gold frame Amatsu Mina looks completely killer. Even with the lame gold, even that looks passable-ish due to the multiple shades, and that’s my only problem done with. The accessories are epic, the gloss black is beautiful, the detail is super well done, and the design is extravagant, this is a must buy for me. Super Fumina fanservice needs to stop. Already got my own FM Bael WIP, and it’s looking to be an awesome kit. I’m so happy with the stand, it’s such a great addition and i’m happy I own it. The Origin Special Ver. just replaced the original Origin (heh) on my wishlist. They’re adding 2 LED colors, a poster, and a new v-fin, all on the original already awesome MG RX-78-02 Origin? Wishlist prioritised to the max.
The Option Set 9 looks awesome, i’m extremely happy they gave us green Landman Rodi legs, that means non-painters can already get the Landman in brewers colors. Not to mention the other stuff like the Scharfrichter Geirail parts, Graze Ground Type parts, Rebake rifles, and a nice bonus for a Barbatos Lupus Rex Repair, that’s awesome. MG Providence looks like a beast, the detail is nice, the presence is huge, and the articulation looks awesome, the waist joint scares me though. Probably going to get the regular version, the stand is awesome but the price is a bit high for that and decals I won’t really use. Nice to be given the option though,
Hi! Nice episode. 🙂 I would like to have an RX-78-2 Origin because I still haven’t got any Grand Daddy since i started building Gunpla. And what better way to have it than winning it from HLJ. 🙂 🙂 🙂
No more IBO series !!! I hope for season 3 or they should keep up with the manga. I want to see all the gundam frames in the IBO gundam series. That HGUC gundam tristan looks interesting.
Loving Gundam thunderbolt. Looking forward to some ass kickin mg’s this year. Also if I win the origin kit it’s my first rx78 kit. Fingers and toes crossed………..
Finally I see a few new mecha designs that I really like! That ms from a side story of IBO it’s very interesting! Strange but cool at the same time.
What could be the next Rg? Only Bandai knows it. Since now the Rg series is 90% Gundams! So I really want to see some Zion design.
For example…the Dom Tropen! wow! And Rg Dom Tropen Ver.Ka! Wow!
Great show guys. I dont think a demon would enjoy being called Dandelion, but whatever. Providence looked great.
I havent seen an episode of Origin yet, but the RX is looking good.
Im just getting started with the mg line. I have the mg rx78-2 oyw version and im waiting on the mg zaku 2.0 i orderd from you guys. I have only built one mg and im in love with the mg line.
Excited to get my premium edition MG Providence Gundam from you guys. Much love and support. I’m new to buying kits online and the first one I bought from you guys was the MG Psycho Zaku Ver Ka had no regrets with it.
Syd:”I’ve seen your ball”
If taken out of context,very good “material”
In all seriousness though, MG line seems to follow SEED main suits.Does this mean a SEED Renaissance?Foes this mean another SEED RG?
*Shrug*Who knows
Let the nippers keep on nipping and the empty runners keep on piling,
SIEG GUNPLA!
If I win taht MG Origin I would probably kitbash it with the RGM-79C I have around.
I don’t care too much about SEED but the fact that the Providence has a ton of extra parts makes the kit seem more appealing to me. Im still crossing my fingers to see if they do more grunt suits since they released the GM Sniper. Stark Jegan and the Aqua GM.
Still working on the contest entry. Panel Line scribing is the scariest thing I have ever done to a kit (being the first time I do it).
I’m looking forward to seeing how the FM Bael differs from the HG version. I’m also anticipating whether that Astray Gold can stand up to her hype. But it doesn’t look as if they fixed Fumina’s issues with the new version. Ouch!
I’m surprised that you guys did not mention that the Gundam Tristan is using parts from the HGUC 047 Gundam Alex. A lot of people are upset about the use of old, recycled, parts limiting articulation and a cheap cop out on Bandai’s end. Also, the P-Bandai Zaku III Custom from Twilight Axis is simply a re-color of the Zaku III Custom that came out 20 years ago and this too has angered some Gunpla fans. Is Bandai simply getting lazy? What are your thoughts about this?
An RG Nu Gundam is too obvious. Seeing as they’ve covered a unicorn, build fighters and seed kit and that we’re already getting an MG ZZ. There’s only one logical solution, RG Neo Zeong. But srsly an RG f91/ crossbone/x
/god Gundam would be great
Theeey’ve got…a power you cannot seee with your eyes.
Theeey are…feared by nubs, loose joints, and large stickers.
Nooothing…will ever take them down!
Gunpla lies on their sie ie ie ie ieeeeeeeeede!
GO GO SYD AND TOM!
GO GO SYD AND TOM!
GO GO SYD AND TOM YOU MIGHTY GUNPLA BUILDERS!!!
I have the MG Providence (special version) in my Private Warehouse. This video is just teasing me to have it delivered already. I am only holding off because i am waiting for the MG Freedom 2.0 (Dramatic Combination) to restock so i can have them delivered together. (Any word on a restock coming soon?)
Oh also, you really upped the ante there Master Syd. MG 78-02 Origin Ver. Now that is even more exciting to work on. Maybe my lucky stars will smile on me now. Thanks for the videos guys. The reviews really help me plan ahead on what to work on, on kits i have already ordered.
Just wanted to mention that those IBO-stickers that came with the 1/100s are same that came with the IBO-stand campaign you had earlier this year. There were also C and D stickers which had the Seven Stars and Turbines logos.
Question about the plamo competition my sister doesnt have a credit card or any means to shop online so when he wants stuff from your site she does it on my account and she pays me. so i was wondering if she can enter the competition.
I already have the Origin but it would be pretty cool to win it for my friend. He’s a big RX-78-2 fan. an’t wait to see the Bael. Looks great and was pretty cool int he show. Too bad we won’t be getting a 1/100 Kimaris Vidar?
That MG Providence is a BEAST!! I’m looking forward to getting mine and waiting on the MG Justice Gundam to finish up the Seed Gang! I really hope they announce the RG Nu-Gundam at the hobby show. Imagine the possibility of an RG Sazabi after that~ It would be MASSIVE!
Hope they make an mg legend now.for those who dont know the legend gundam is the upgrade of providence like freedom to strike freedom or justice to infinte justice
Great Show, Started to watch from the begining now I’m at episode 178, and wanted to check out if you still habe the give away. I hope I can win this kit.
Now you didn’t hear this from me, but I wager the new RG is a Shining Gundam to commemorate the upcoming Olympic games. Y’know the one they’re making 1/1 RX-78 walk for?
What do you think the chances are of bandai launching a 1/100 RG or MG+ line? I want to make complicated things, but I get intimidated by the 1/144th scale.
Really, really, really hope that Bandai is gonna do something about the lack of Gundam 00 MGs. Hopefully we get accelerate evolution gundam 00 kits (not Setsuna’s) or even FLAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSS
The key lime green color wasn’t really working well with the blue so I completely stripped and repainted these parts with a cooler blue-green color instead. I had to re-mask and re-paint all of the details too. In this photo you can see the two gaps I drilled into the front codpiece. I have some option parts to insert there.
March has brought a change in weather and a whole lot of great Gunpla releases. In this video we’re going to unbox the newest Real Grade kit, the 1/144 RG Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina!
Hey Syd, I preordered mine back in January but its now on Backorder, will I have to wait till it gets back instock? I have some things in my private warehouse that I wanted to ship with it.
We have multiple distributors supplying Gundams and the product doesn’t always arrive from them all on the same day. Likely the remainder are coming today and the orders will be filled. Thanks for your patience!
Super Fumina, out the door to do more shopping, apparently. RG Gold Frame is a beautiful kit. Shiny black, like the Bandai _____ _____ kit (rhymes with “Darth Vader”)and red and gold looks so good. I need to build another RG. Thanks guys.
Show Fumina unboxing next please haha. Like the black glossy Gold Frame armor. Just the gold frame hoping it will glossy like armor but have to see the end product 1st to consider it as a must buy or not.
awesome, this kit looks amazing, with the exception of the pointy aladin feet, I was wondering, if I buy this kit, are there enough parts to build the Normal astray feet?
We showed the MG Providence in an unboxing video already so we won’t get into that here — which is good, because Syd and Todd were too busy disagreeing over who would get to present the newest kit from Gundam […]
amazing strike freedom looks good, but the red frame just takes away the appearence i think
i wonder how long will the world would really have a real local type gundam
The MG Providence looks really good, although the Freedom waist joint scares me a bit. I personally want the regular one, because while the ZAFT stand looks really good, I don’t think it and the waterslide decals are enough to make me want the special edition more, plus the original has one of my new favorite boxarts. Option Set 9 is gonna be great, tones of kitbash potential, and I really like how you get Landman Rodi legs in color OOB, i’ll have to buy that one day.
I absolutely love the Amazing Strike Freedom, the shiny red frame looks really unique, and I love how so much of the suit is integrated so uniquely. The bulkiness and the sheer weaponry make me a fan.
The HG Bael looks good, and it does seem like a pretty neat kit. However i’m holding my breath for the FM version because I want that stand, and I want to display a Bael with my Grimgerde.
HG Atlas looks awesome, a huge shame the subarms aren’t white though, they really could’ve been done with all that white plastic, ahh well. I really like all the gimmicks and stuff the Atlas is capable of doing, and it’s functions make it look really damn sweet. People are complaining about it’s stickers but it’s not like other HGTB kits didn’t have any, i’m quite satisfied honestly, just wish those subarms were white…
Sometimes I fell old!
I see the Atlas and I think….meh…weird…ugly feet…ugly front skirt, etc.
I should be happy to see something different but instead I always complain about these new strange designs.
Best Review of the Year !!!
Great job on Gundam Atlas review… was enjoying it so much…LoL…
Good job Syd & TB your Gundam Atlas pose looked crooked ;)…
can’t wait for your Gundam Providence MG review
the Best Show IMO…
ohhhh… and don’t forget to give me that Gundam Local Type Origin!!!
and I’ll donate that “petite guy” to my neighbour..hahaha!!!
That rail gun definitely needs some color. Right now it looks like a really long Nerf gun. Still can’t decide if I want the Atlas or not. I’m still on the fence.
March is such a great month!
Just waiting on 1/100 Bael (my playing with plamo entry!) release to ship my private warehouse which includes the Providence Premium and ms option 9 and gusion rebake (more guns for Akihiro!)
Can’t wait for your build and review of the providence!
The Atlas Gundam is a creative design, I hope that BANDAI does have the funding to mass-produce such a kit. It would be bigger than the Double-Zeta, Unicorn, and the Nu-Gundam. I love the design of the origin kit and the bearguy would look cute for a center piece.
The Atlas is growing on me, especially after seeing what the HG kit can do with his skis. The cockpit ball reminds me that I don’t own any Ball kit in any form and really should. Mass produced Balls helped the Earth Federation win the one year war after all.
Am I the only one that thinks the Atlas looks dumb? So how long do we have to wait for Todd to do a kitbash and attach both of the Atlas’s skies to the ball?
The “unboxing episode” and now this. Beam cannons are go! “Born in the Bael,” Atlas throw down! Great show. Origin rules. Thanks Todd, Syd, Ryan (directed by…), and Luke (chop chop…).
I can’t deny the Atlas is simultaneously the dumbest and coolest Gundam I’ve ever laid eyes on. I love it coming in with it’s Armored Core looking rail gun on it’s stupid river rafting raft backpack. It’s absurd in all the right ways.
Next MG is Justice Gundam. I’m not sure how I feel about it. From the CG model we saw of it, the details are nice, but I’m not the biggest fan of the design itself, and the RG has better proportions in my opinion.
The Atlas Gundam looks like a pretty neat kit I’ll need to get that at some point. Looking forward to the MG Providence Rau Le Creuset is one of my favorite Gundam villains and one of the few good characters in Seed. I always wondered why the Gundam Local Type has the price it does it doesn’t come with much but it’s a good looking High Grade kit.
I like the Atlas but without the funky sled/submarine system thingy.
Looks really good by itself. Kind of interesting the ball core it has for cockpit.
Hope i win that HG Local Type from the Origin line. I have started collecting and painting that line. It will be awesome to paint and mod that kit a little bit and post it here in hobbylink.tv. 🙂
All hail the Atlas lord of the Ball master race. Also Syd’s love of RGs inspired me to try to build them all. All I’ve got left is the Strike Freedom, Strike, and Skygrasper. Time well spent.
Man that is one sexy box art for the MG Providence! I have a question regarding the plamo contest and I’m hoping it won’t be too late. If I’m entering one of those Macross kits that can transform, do I need to submit pictures with it in the 3 different forms or is it OK to stick with one? I’m asking because I’m afraid that if I transform it after all the decal work, the Waterslides might get ruind.
Have a question for my fellow commenters mostly.
My backlog has grown huge between zoids and gunpla.
How big is yours?
How do you deal with it?
I try to build faster but cant stop myself from painting all the details.
Send an email to questions@hlj.com saying you’ve got some Gunpla TV Fanart and they’ll let me know and then I’ll contact you about where to send it. Thanks!
Great to see a couple new MG kits. The normal version’s box art is incredible. ZAFT has wizards in engineering but the Providence also looks great. Water-slide sheet is the closer on this one. Thanks Syd and Todd!
Tearing themselves away from their new favorite thing, Syd and Todd switch modes and present the newest Iron-Blooded Orphan kit while oogling the just-released HG Atlas Gundam!
No more GOUF-ing around! Finally shipped my stuff out of the private warehouse for the competition, but I don’t know if my bank account can handle the 1/100 Bael and the RG Amatsu Mina. T_T
I want the GOUF and Freedom!!! I would love to get some free stuff. Very new to all of this, started watching the first few episodes and I was hooked. I have seen all episodes up to the 150’s, as well as the most recent 3 episodes. I ordered the MS option set 9 from you guys to turn what will soon be my second kit into the Landman Rodi which I think is one of the coolest mobile suits around. I already have some nice metallic orange for the custom painting required.
I’m a recent fan of Gundam, it’s always been been in the background during my youth but I never really delved into it until the release of Gundam IBO. Since then I’ve been thrust into the model kit community, watching a variety of gunpla videos and constantly researching about them. As a result of getting into the franchise late, I was immediately appaled by the Zaku designs, favoring lead mobile suits instead. Until I watched Gundam The Origin Films and picked up an Origin Char’s Zaku II and amongst the kits i’ve purchased its my second favorite. The Origin line seems to have so much quality making me appreciate even the designs I used to dislike. I’m intrigued by several kits in the line and that Gouf is amongst them, I should probably get my hands on one.
This episode was a bit empty compared to the others. I guess not all of them can be winners and you guys need some downtime between massive releases. I just want to know what other MGs will come out this year. Hopefully we can get a Stark Jegan a GM-III or the Loto.
A pleasant start of the flood has come,this is but a trickle of what is to come… My only regret is that I can never get close to the 1/1 scale RX-78-2,a huge blow to my gundam-fanboy-dreams.*cries pathetically*
The Design of the Barbatos Lupus Rex is to compensate for Mika’s fighting style of punching and ripping things apart indefinitely. That is why the arms are reinforced so they don’t break apart like what happened in the Hashmal battle. Also the yellow claws were added for this reason. The toes are questionable as I really don’t know why they were given yellow parts but the Tail Blade was added for more versatility and seems to work well with the AV (Alaya Vijnana) System. I really don’t understand why the Rex was given the small shoulder armor, which is why in model form the Barbatos Lupus Tekkadan shoulders work a lot better. Overall for me it’s not a bad design, but a fusion of the original Lupus with the Rex would look a lot cooler in my opinion. Also thank you for presenting the Kimaris Vidar, it looks really sharp and will definitely be getting this kit hopefully soon along with the Bael.
Everything’s about that Zelda Breath of the Wild lately and I can’t complain, it’s a fun looking game. If only I could get it. :'(
I really like the new version of Char’s Zaku, i’m probably getting both because while they’re different, they’re also similar and I love how both look in their own rights. Non P-Bandai variants will always be a big plus for me, we need more of them nowadays. I love the Amazing Strike Freedom, it’s a neat idea, and it’s a neat looking MS, i’ll definitely pick this one up, love the design, and love how it reuses the Strike Freedom parts, I dig it. HG Bael seems like a neat kit, I especially love the shoulder emblem, but i’ll have to wait for the FM Bael to get my taste of the first demon. Atlas is a must have, I can’t see why people are hating it’s stickers, I think Bandai did a good job already and it’s not like other HGTB kits aren’t sticker heavy, they even have more! Nevertheless, I really want to have have this new HG Atlas, it speaks to me in a way I like and I can’t miss out on this one.
The new Kimaris Vidar is a mixed bag for me, as a Kimaris fan i’m obligated to buy it since I have the HG Kimaris and will get an HG Trooper, but it’s quite different. The color shade is off, the coloring itself is weird, and has some serious stickers. Still, i’ll get it because it’s a unique design and I do like it.
Lol gawd imagine doing the milking cow action in a public place xD
Anyways hate that Kimaris Vidar, so ugly. Super sad that the Vidar was just a stand. Now the Amazing Strike Freedom looks pretty rad, and hope its backpack doesn’t have a ‘bird’ gimmick :/
Iron Blooded Orphans kits always have something weird in them!
Probably Bandai is trying to be innovative. They are trying to do something new everytime and they risk a lot!
For example the feet of the Vidar….did you see them? How weird they are?
Is it now better a common “old style” foot of a Rx78?
Sometime is better to not look for something strange at all costs..or you get lots and lots of weird kits like the IBO line or the Reconguista line.
I like the kimarus in all ways and forms but each form always comes with a hamartia that ruins it for me, the first form and it’s onion head, the trooper had butt too big, the vidar had his hacksaw feet, and the kimarus vidar and his pointy toes, it’s like someone at bandaid is trying to mess with me
I like the kimarus in all ways and forms but each form always comes with a hamartia that ruins it for me, the first form and it’s onion head, the trooper had butt too big, the vidar had his hacksaw feet, and the kimarus vidar and his pointy toes, it’s like someone at bandai is trying to mess with me
I kind of wonder how the hell did all the Kilmari’s designs approved. They all use ph***c weapon that just gets bigger with each new version….
And about the Kilmaris Vidar being the odd-one in the bunch. I think different color scheme would make it look better.Like the legs in its default Kilmaris color and no yelow accents on the offwhite.
PS. Cant belive Todd didnt fight for Atlas. Its TODD B. version afterall ^^
In comparison, The vidar looks cooler than the Kimaris Vidar, plus in The Kimaris Vidar I think you can split the heels and the toes to make it flat so it can stand in flat surface
first kimaris, the kimaris trooper, then vidar, but then we go to the kimaris vidar. really wished to have seen what the vidar trooper looked like. oh well
Waiting for the payment notification for the RG Gold Frame. Then it is time to clear out the private warehouse along with the Atlas. Syd “saving” that last sticker sheet for last was a bit mean. Really was hoping there won’t be any yellow stickers for the Atlas.
hopefully bandai will make a 1/100 full mechanics on the kimaris vidar. next release this march would be awesome can’t wait for my premium providence please release it faster HLJ. waiting for it. that freedom though. want to have that hg kit..
I really prefer the look of the Vidar over the Kimaris Vidar. I think Vidar might be one of the best looking suits on IBO. I think they would have had more success going with a more upgraded Vidar look. The Kimaris Vidar feels a little to Frankenstein monster for me.
Hey Guys, great show as always! I’m looking forward to getting the 1/144 HG Gundam Vual in April which coincides with my Birthday! Great looking kit to add to my IBO Manga Gundam collection. Just a suggestion for your show. How about showing us some other Gundam related products that we could use for our kits like new decals, custom parts and so on. Just to keep us moderate gundam fans up to date on such stuff.
Man, Vidar look really good and mean, like I wouldn’t mess with that guy but then it turn into Kimaris, Steppe down in my opinion.
What do you guys think of the Nintendo Switch?
Gouf for the win! Great show as usual. Todd “Mr.” Brown had a good line up…those Kimaris space boots are crazy. Origin Zakus and the Atlas are must haves…thanks, Syd!
Looks like they did a fairly decent job with ratio of plastic / stickers for the yellow on the Atlas Gundam. Looking forward to the build to see how it turns out. I would like the Gouf but if somehow I get selected for the Strike Freedom please redo the selection for it. I want nothing to do with Kira Yamato but I do like Rau Le Creuset so looking forward to the MG Providence coming out.
Can’t wait to get my hands on those new kits. Also now that Bandai Star wars Kits are being sold in the U.S.. are you guys going to bring them back on to the show?
Love the show. Am soooo tempted by the 1/144 scale kits; especially the RG range for which I am generally curious, but I have only 1/100 kits. Mixing the scales…. nnngghhhhhhh, not sure how that would look on my shelf. That new RG Astray Gold Frame may push me over the edge though. Looks soooo nice!
The Kimaris gunplas are great, each form different than the last. Whereas Barbatos hardly changes in each form. The anime shows that Kimaris is overhauled to better fight in a specific battlefield while Barbatos is overhauled because it sustained heavy damages. I think the anime shows the disparity in wealth and resources between Tekkadan and Teiwaz versus Gjallarhorn and Gaelio. It also shows how weak Gaelio is as a pilot. In season 1 he insulted Mikazuki for having an ancient mobile suit and when he couldn’t win against him (Mikazuki) he brings out Kimaris and thinks he would win. The second season has Kimaris changed greatly to fight faster and with more maneuverability. Kimaris Vidar also shows Gaelio’s weakness, he has to rely on the type-e einz brain machine just to stand on equal footing with Barbatos and Bael.
Great gunpla they are.
On a side note, Kimaris Vidar is not showing in the hlj website, is it just me or what?
I kinda operated under the assumption that the Kimaris was just the frame and the armor was mostly interchangeable. Since we’ve seen that they can identify gundams by their reactor output maybe the camouflage was masking the reactor output? Maybe I’m trying too hard to rationalize giant space robots?
Great show guys. Im curious for the IBO kits do you prefer the HG or 1/100 versions? In terms of gimmicks and maneoverability the 1/100 seem much better, but they also seem flimsy in comparison i guess?
WIP 03: Didn’t get as much done since the last WIP with final year college work, but still getting places. I decided to remove the antenna on the head as I just thought it…
I’m personally very excited for the new HGUC AE Zeta, i’m very curious to what’s special about it and what Bandai have done with this line. I’ve always wanted a Zeta but they all had a certain problem or more that kept me from jumping on it, and as a person who doesn’t mind partsforming, this one is likely going to be the one for me! I’m very excited for this one and can’t wait to see how it is! I want the Gundam Vual so bad, it’s asymmetry, it’s black and purple colorscheme, and it’s alien-like design, I love the way this looks and I have to have one, no questions asked.
The new pink Petit’gguy is interesting, i’ll probably get one just for Bear’gguyception, and because I do like the shade of pink here, so i’ll likely own one for myself. I like the way the Kimaris Vidar looks, but I really don’t like the colorscheme, not a complete turn off, so i’ll have to think about getting one of my own! I’m likely not getting that Freedom 2.0 special set though, i’m not a huge fan of the busts, and I don’t really want one, so the normal one will easily do for me.
While I wasn’t initially a fan of the Lupus Rex at all, it’s definitely growing on me when I look more at the FM, and i’ll have to consider getting one eventually if this keeps growing, and this kit looks great. Reginlaze Julia also looks pretty sick, i’m a huge fan of the way she looks and i’ll have to get that kit for myself too! I can’t deny Julieta’s MS, and that kit specifically looks great, just wish a few of the parts weren’t hollow, but it seems that Bandai have been doing a lot of that recently, which is a real shame.
I’m really not sure which barbatos I want. I want the 6th form for the mace, because I can turn it to the original anyway. but I kinda like the lupus too.
… but I hate duplicates.
what do.
the more they bulk up barbatos, the more i appreciate its 1st form, ironic. and have you guys heard about the new 1:1 scale unicorn gundam in odaiba? could it be the promotion for a rg unicorn?! that would be awesome
If I had to pick my favorite series, it would be Zeta because of Kamille “a man’s name” Bidan and Quattro “definitely not a Char” Bajeena. I also really enjoyed the original Gundam 0079. Where these old shows lacked in animation quality they more than make up for with their old-school charm with some unintentional comedy.
A big problem with the Rex is that Mace-sama. It’s so big, but the joints in Rex’s arms aren’t stiff enough to hold it up. The shaft is also flexier than it should be. At the moment I’m favouring the HG Lupus, for price as well. Bandai had better come out with an improved final version, or I might get the Bael instead (although HG or FM I have no idea).
Also, that poor, unfortunate Helmwege, standing by until the very end. They could’ve at least had him use the Shock Horns.
I’m looking forward to seeing what the judges think about the Playing With Plamo entries. They all look awesome! I do not envy the judges their task.
According to ‘Flying Witch,’ the fox says ‘woof!’ Time to put that whole thing to bed.
Does that poster mean there’s a ‘Frame Arms Girls’ OVA anime?
Hey guys, good episode. I was wondering if the HMM Gojulas The Ogre kit from Kotobukiya was a limited release, or will it be available once more at a later date? keep up the good work and remember, “gunpla is freedom… Strike Freedom. hahaha”
ACCELERATE EVOLUTION YEAH!!!! Bandai always finds new ways to explode our minds and guys you are awesome with these gunpla collections you have and of cousre the giveaways.
Really surprised that even the 1/100 Lupus Rex don’t come with yellow claws. Thought only the 1/144 was like that. I wasn’t interested in the Reginlaze Julia until watching this episode.
2 things
– wile i was pre-ordering the mg providence i noticed its under high grades instead of mastergrades your site has a few little mistakes like this.
– lastly i hope i win
Kimaris vidar honestly looks like a downgrade. When they said take off vidars camo, i was like what camo? If anything, kimaris vidar is teh camo and vidar is the final variant. i forgot the person but there was one guy who made an awesome representation of kimaris vidar. Much more sleek and more menacing.
I wish there would be more variants to kits other than the Barbatos! Since the Mg ZZ Gundam ver.ka is coming, I hope there will be an MG Tryon 3. MG versions of the Beargguys would be awesome too because there is a pretty old MG Acguy!
As much as I love you guys, I was struggling to get a good look at that Frames Arms Girl poster the whole episode! “Move more to the left, argh cmon!”.
Rex means king in latin… As a huge fan of Jurrasic park (original movie still the best one by far), I find it hilariously odd that I only now just learned that. and on a Gundam show no less
Nice episode. Would love to see that Zaku I show up on my doorstep. Origin is great. Todd’s Barbatos collection looked good. 6th Form did tried to stage dive but missed the edge of the table. Syd managed to get me to like the Julia. I do like the black and white color scheme. Looks good. The Vual looks like that donut shop employee who fell in the vat. All good. Thanks guys!
Another great episode guys!Love the Barbatos Lupus Rex Design. Its like a hybrid of Gundam and Evangelion. Also love Reginlaze Julia, hopefully Bandai release the 1/100 version.
You guys are showing off fancy new kits while I’m sitting here building an HGUC GM… I’m gonna use this kit to practice modifying proportions and painting.
