In our first episode back after the 2016 Shizuoka Hobby Show, Syd and Todd talk about all the Bandai Plamo they saw there and Ryan has some things to share. We also have an important announcement to […]
As much as Astaroth look really good, why I do get the feeling that Barbatos will not be showing as much as in season 1?
And regarding FA-78 Ver. Thunderbolt Ver. KA, when will you guys show off the glory of the kit? since the kit is available for Pre-Order now at hlj.com
First Congrats for Ryan and good to have you back.
LA Expo… Oh man I would like to join but in LA… =,=!
That’s too far…
For the RG Sinanju, I Guess I would like to have that. But I am more interested if Bandai made RG for Unicorn or Full Armor Unicorn Full Transform in RG Teehee. But I guess Full Armor Unicorn will be in P-Bandai.
Anyway Great Episode as always! 😀 Keep going till 300 eps. 😀
I’ll be at Anime Expo! I’ll also be entering the regional GBWC there. Hope to see you guys, take some pics with you guys, and not confuse Hobby japan’s booth for yours this time! 😀
Awww, Syd! You remembered my comment on ManowaR but you forgot to add it to the list? Now I’m sad… lucky me, I have the new DOOM OST running right now, so I’ll manage. But now I feel like I deserve some kind of compensasion, you know? You’d better remember, this time, or I’ll have HeatMetal count up your sins!
I feel like Bandai had a hard choice deciding whether the Hyaku Shiki or the Unicorn would be the 200th HGUC.
One one hand the Hyaku Shiki is “type 100”, a milestone in its own name.
On the other hand, the 100th HGUC was the very first Unicorn, I wouldn’t complain if we got the same kit 2 milestones in a row 😛
I have been really waiting for that Gyan Revive for far too long, I need that thing. I wish I could go to the Anime Expo, but 1. Have to revise for Exams, 2. I live in Hong Kong, and 3. I’m saving that money for Gunpla (BIRTHDAY RG SINANJU HYYYPE).
Todd, it’s not a Man Rodi, it’s a different mobile Suit called the “Spinner Rodi” and I want a kit of it. ;-;
I actually prefer the asymmetrical look as opposed to the symmetrical look, it’s what makes the Astaroth Special. I like the design of the Thunderbolt GM, but i’m sorta debating whether to get it or not due to the hollow parts and static arms. I assume it’s to save money but it’s a bit of a turn off.
I’m a huge fan of Kamen Rider, and that kit would seem cool, but I would have nowhere to put it. XD
Really cool episode!
I got a question, when will the RX-78-4 and RX-78-5 get restocked?
It has changed from April restock to June restock
Can’t wait to get hold of it~~~
Great episode guys! and gratz on twin boys Ryan. Also, Todd your not the only one! I think your version of Astaroth looks better than the one bandai printed out! I still love you Mr.Bandai dont be angry with me!
Great show as usual and glad to see Ryan back! I can’t wait for later today as I will be getting my GM thunderbolt and the Astaroth in the mail for a long weekend of gunpla building. I would love to meet you guys in LA; however, I don’t have enough spare holiday days left after booking my for a trip to Europe(insert crying face here). I will be there in spirit.
Haha welcome back Ryan. How many years will it be for the Ligar. I gave up seeing the Falcon finished, and now since Ryan v2.0 and v2.1 having a screaming contest at your place, this will also take while. But great to have you back in the show. Talking about the show, if you are going to do a livebuild Syd, when will it be announced? Would love to join.
Congratulations Ryan! Great video guys! The Astaroth looked interesting. I can’t wait for the RG Sinanju, it’s going to be fantastic. Kamen Rider Heat/Metal, awesome 🙂
Great episode as always guys, Symmetrical Astaroth was actually awesome, show off some more ideas Todd! Congrats Ryan get them the same clothes no variations, your wife will hate it 🙂 Anyways wish i could see you guys at the show but im unable to attend *Sigh* Have fun, and Sieg Zeon!
Oooh! I spy a Kamen Rider Double, Heat Metal! I’m really up for that, but only because I know someone else who’d really like it as he’s a massive Double fan. Looking forward to the 00 Qant next episode, it’s pretty awesome!
Glad to see that your back Ryan, it felt a bit strange to only have Syd and Todd on the show, and make sure to take care of yourself you sounded a bit tired near the end.
However Todd, Syd, you guys are really trying to take it out on my wallet, 2 HG Astaroths for a “complete look” version. And your talk of putting the Thunderbolt Full Armour Gundams backpack on the GM, made me think of a mash up with the Full Armour Gundams backpack, the Powered GM Cardigan, possibly the Powered Arms Powereder option pack and some miniguns from the Heavy Arms or its custom form, for the Full Armour Powered GM Cardigan All Arms ver.
But I’ve got the Exia and 00 Raiser RGs coming from you to do first, which I guess I’d better do before doing something crazy.
Wow!!! I really like this episode that when Tod show us what he do with Astraroth!!! It is really creative and new to me!!!! Thank you for showing me how to play with gunpla properly….!!! XD
Congrats on the twin! todd should really praticing the lines. both of you got responsibility now.. one on the twins and one on the lines.. hahahaha :-p
I wish I could go to AX, but I don’t have enough money to go to, let alone enough to take a trip within my own state right now. Maybe I could do some Gunpla commissions. I hear those bring in good amounts of money.
Welcome back Ryan, good luck with the twins. Can’t wait to see the gyan in action. I’m also excited for build fights as well Todd, those new kits look ace.
I have noticed that lately every new mold for HG kits have lego-style peg hands instead of trigger fingers. The hyaku-shiki is the revive I’ve been looking forward to since they first announced them but from the pictures and videos I’m very disappointed that Bandai might be using the cheap style hands on it. what are your guys’ thoughts on the hands?
Hi Syd ryan and todd, First of all congratulations to Ryan on the twins. I just like to commend you all for the effort you excerted in each episode. You gave me purpose in life. I was suicidal before. But when I watched your videos.. Every episode I have watched has enticed me to build more and more gunpla. I am building for 4 months now and have built 10 hg’s, 2 Mg’s and 1 RG in my possesion. Looking forward to build a PG. Now I am happy and met new friends who shares the same interest. the hobby saved me.. You guys saved me.. and I am grateful to you ..more power to your show Hoobylinkjapan. GUNPLA TV ROCKS!!
Beaver Corporation is a company within Japan that imports some of the finest military scale model kits from around the world. In this video we check out their booth at the Shizuoka Hobby Show.
Golden Week has passed here in Japan and Syd and Todd made use of their days off by finishing up the Master Grade Freedom Gundams they committed to building during the unboxing episode. Sit back and relax and let […]
awesome episode! thanks for bringing us a review of not one but both MG Freedoms. i’m kind of disappointed that the 2.0 has been reduced in height and wondering what their reasoning is behind it. is it still true to the scale of the mechanical specs listed on the manual compared to a hypothetical actual size? lol just nitpicking on numbers and specifics. still a terrific kit and can’t wait to build it.
I’m a twin too! We’re both into Gunpla but he doesn’t normally keep up with you guys :C Nevertheless I am excited to see what the hobby show has in store!
when i see the Freedom 2.0 i really can’t imagine the next 12 years for the 3.0!!! Because the detail on 2.0 really look amazing and the articulation is on the serious level that i see from a pro gunpla custom. gonna get it one while it last!!!! and Tod and Syd for the review!!!
i like the design, but as a gunpla kit, the freedom seems very fiddly. that backpack just feels like it has too much going on…
kinda like ryan!! congrats man; best of luck with the new fatherhood mayhem double edition! looking forward to a triumphant return to GPTV once things’ve gotten settled in with the new family life; until then, somebody’s got some lines to learn (lookin at you, todd)! no pressure…
The new Freedom looks cool, all those shoulders and hips gimmicks, but no knee sliding, nor LEDs… What is Bandai up to? Also congrats to Ryan for his family upgrade, but I still want that Masterpiece Liger built. As for the song, i vote for Fight for Freedom by ManowaR. Thanks again
Great show guys. Syd I’m looking to pick up a Zeta MG but there are so many versions. I know you’ve weighed in before on the best version of the sinanju and the RX-78, what are your thoughts on the Zeta?
I’ve been catching up on all the old episodes from the start at 125% speed, and I watched this one on a train trip at normal speed. It’s really weird to hear you speak so slow! 🙂
I like the Freedom 2.0. I think it’s a major improvement on the regular Freedom design. Dunno why but the original designs never spoke to me, the 2.0 on the other hand looks awesome!
The previous Freedom which is less busy is indeed more accurate to the anime (iirc). Drawing all those details which the 2.0 offers, would probably have given the production team a lot more work. I rather have it this way than them using 3D models.
Also lol, was that intro blooper (the freedom 2.0 intro) suppose to be left unedited as a joke? xD
sorry to let you down, there is no more mythbusters. That Tested actually is a youtube channel not part of mythbusters and the mythbusters ended already somewhere in March this year. one of the main star of mythbusters (Adam) do collaboration with Tested and always appear in some talk, 1 day build, and his explanation on his coming project. Tested usually do random stuff from tech gadget and hobby thing (more to hollywood movie replica). yes recently see them build (group build) perfect grade zeta gundam. funny to see them first time unboxing it, with that so many parts it like they no have idea what to do and where to start, but they manage to build it bit by bit. but one thing for sure no testing from mythbusters to test gundam since the program ended already. actually its a fun too if they want to test gundam technology in real life. to see what it look like if they exist and how its working.
Hey guys~ great video as usual.
I have some money to spend and I have trouble deciding what kit should I buy.
Do you guys have any MG recommendation ?
or should I start RG collections ?
Congratulations to Ryan, we will see him soon!
By the way tested did do build a gundam zeta perfect grade on the channel it was for the 0ne week build, you have to be a member of the channel to see the entire build but the have the first episode for free.
And thanks to syd showing the wing rays in one shot in can see the details of the plastic when he took the ray apart.
Keep the good gunplay guys, see ya next week
Salut to Ryan.
Go Liger man, there will be no small plasticparts for you in years,
and since megasize is dead, it is your last chance to inhale the spirit
of a fresh unboxed runner.
OMG!!! Can’t believe I won the Guntank 🙂 Thanks guys. Also, congrats to Ryan and hope you manage to get a good look at the MG FA-78 Thunderbolt ver Ka next week, really looking forward for it. Thanks again all at HLJ!
I’ve seen 3D rendering of the FA-78 and was pleasantly surprised to see that Hajime Katoki had designed the inner robot. But I was truly shocked to see a rendering of the Escape pod and it will be interesting to see whether its inclusion will aid or hinder movement of the waist and upper torso section.
Oh, man…! Now that I have a stable income I can’t really buy gunplas without being broken cause USD is too expensive here in Brazil. T_T These Freedom are so temptive!
All this talk about freedom 1.0 and freedom 2.0 reminds me of George Michael’s freedom (Wham) vs freedom ’90. Same guy, but two very different versions.
Great show!
I have the OG, that I purchased years ago, and it was interesting to see the differences. Also, Congratulations and Gambare to Ryan and especially Mrs. Ryan on the new additions.
Does this mean we will be seeing even more of Todd on Gunpla TV?
If so then, well played Todd…well played.^-^
Looking forward to seeing the gang on the Shiz Videos.
Another great episode guys and keep up the great work!
The cries for the MG 2.0 Freedom sounds like it could be a rally cry from Full Metal Jacket.(I changed it up a bit, but you get the feeling)
Bandai: “What do we do for a living, ladies!?”
Todd and Syd: “Gunpla! Gunpla! Gunpla!”
Bandai:”What MG do you want to build!?”
Todd and Syd: “Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!”
So question for Todd and Syd, what initially got you into building model kits or gunpla?
Great episode guys and a late congratulations to Ryan on the birth of the twins! May they bring you joy and frustration in equal measure, as children are wont to do to their parents.
Also Todd and Syd, good work on the Freedoms, it looks like either are great kits its a shame however that I don’t really have enough room to collect anything bigger than HGs and RGs.
Really good episode and great side by side review. The Freedom brings back all my memories of building the MG freedom gundam OG, I’ve built quite a lot of seed kits and good to see Bandai are still showing some love to the series and I’m very tempted to pick up Freedom 2.0
Those railguns are too damned long. I still like the compact design on the RG Strike Freedom better. The V_fins are too damned long. What’s your wow factor on the original and 2.0?
I’m gonna break the mould and say ‘Raise You Flag’ by Man On a Mission (OP1 for IBO).
Yeah, MythBusters has been over for awhile now. All the members are on to their own things, after 13 years. Tested is independent.
We are really busy with the Golden Week, or rather, busy getting ready for it, but still we wanted to pump out an episode of Gunpla TV for everyone. Enjoy the plamo while we enjoy some well-earned days […]
denial is fine but i prefer the guntank :). Loving the grimgerde, when i first saw it introduced to us for the first time, i was like, this is really cool,yeah they’re gonna make a 1/100 soon, i just have to wait
1/100 Blue Destiny Unit 1 when? Efreet needs somebody to fight. Why, Bandai? WHYYYYYYYYYYY? They always leave these huge, obvious gaps in their lineups.
Have you heard of and do you like the Mythbusters? They have a Youtube channel group Called Tested and they’ve been talking about building a couple Gunpla Kits.
The RE/100 Efreet makes me sad because it’s another RE kit that has those crappy HG hands. They gave the Nightingale the emotion manipulator hands(which they aren’t using enough of in MG kits), so why not the other REs? Make it happen Bandai, right meow!
A bit disappointed that I didn’t win the Rinascita. Oh well, there’s always next time.
That Efreet looks awesome, it’s a bit of a shame that it’s articulation isn’t great, but at least it still looks cool. Hoping that I get that Guntank, the denial is cool too I guess. XP
I wonder if you guys will stream/ build the RG Qan[T] when it comes out, I can’t wait to get it. Also I’m in Denial about winning this time but I Gun-Tank you anyways for the opportunity.
i see that you did a comparison of the Gouf r35 and the gouf revive, but Tod can you do a comparison with the gouf custom (http://hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun) articulation i think it is obsolete, it on look, in my opinion it look better then all. Great episode and thank you for the reviews
That Efreet and Grimgerde…
Especially the Grimgerde, That is one of the most awesome Frame in the IBO
Efreet however, seems to be short of long-range weapon there
Wow I thought the Efreet was gonna be kinda plain but it looks awesome. Im pretty much a MG/PG guy but it kinda makes me want to take a second look at the RE/100 kits.
Also my Ver KA Ball came today from HLJ! Time to customize it into something crazy!
The Efreet has sorta grown on me since they announced it. And I never made the connection between Final Fantasy’s Ifrit (in the English translations) and Efreet!
Congrats to Ryan and another great episode. I was waiting for someone would make a Thunderbird reference and it came on smooth. The Shizuoka Hobby Show, what model kits that Bandai and other companies are coming out, I can’t wait? Just for now, I am waiting for the Iron Blooded Orphan’s Gundam Astaroth to be release and you guys doing a review on it. As always keep up the good work and stay awesome!
Hahah, an episode is always better with a bit more Todd =D
Really hoping to get the Denial if I get any of them, I already have the Try Burning Gundam and it would be fantastic to make a scene with them! Sorry Guntank, I was just never really that into you…
Man, the Gouf R35 has a such a cool design. I think it’ll become the gateway into Zaku-style mechas for me. Welp, I figure I need to save up another 1275 yen then.
Oh and if I’m selected, I’d appreciate the Denial. Unless the other person wants it since I have one, but my dog shredded my box for it which kills my collector’s soul and I don’t think I’ll ever repurchase the denial just for the box. It’s a great kit and all but I don’t think I’ll use any of it’s parts for any custom models, so it’d be a waste of prime nihon plastic.
Leo is on the list of likely RE100s coming up. That’s probably the best we’re ever going to get. They’ve came through with the Efreet, so maybe we’ll get all of the suits in that one promo picture. If they go in order that they placed the suits on that picture, the next one will be GM Sniper II or Xi.
I love the original Zeonframes and I would lineup for a new MG Zaku V3.0 for sure. The last great was the Geara Doga. I am often looking at hlj to find the Zaku-type-kit of my choice, but they are all kind of aged.
Actually how outdated is the PG Zaku, since BANDAI went a long way of developement since it came out?
I not intend to build the same Gundam over and over again and end up with 10 different Zaku-II, or different types, wich are almost the same with just another weaponpack. But i absolutly have to have one.
I thought that Shizouka was during the last weekend of May so unfortunately I arranged my trip to Tokyo on the wrong dates, just missing the event so I’m really looking forward to your broadcast. In the mean time I hope that I can win the gun tank ^_^
Hi guys! Thanks for this episode but really looking forward for the next one to see the review of the new Freedom:-) The Efreet in now listed in my shopping list, really looks like a great kit. Will definitely get it! Thanks again guys.
Hi guys,
Great show thanks. Personally, I like the Gouf R35. Way much cooler than the revive and has 2 shields. Just for you Syd, I made a Canadian version of the Gouf R35 posted on the site. Just don’t know if you’ll be able to see it or not.
If I win, may I ask for the RX-78-2 Revive poster behind your seat instead? I really wish to have the RX-78-2 poster.
Thanks.
Bob
Man, that Grimgerde is easily one of my new favorite mobile suits. and you keep asking for a MG Char’s Zaku 2 3.0, I’m still waiting for a MG Justice! C’mon Bandai! We have two MG Freedoms now! Please!!?
Also, hope I win either of those kits, they look awesome! Love you guys, keep up the great work <3
Classic Guntank!
Hope to see more MG FA photos soon.
Wonder what’s next for mg. I really hope they will finish the assault mode for v2 ver.ka
Without the armour is just not feels complete 🙁 they have it for hg, why can’t mg?
Great review as always. What kind of expectations do you have for the upcoming RE/100 Kshatriya in terms of articulation and gimmicks? An awesome review would be to compare it with the HGUC version!
hi guys is me writing to you hlj , i queries about how the lack of race diversity in your company
when i look through you 200 episode and other episode,my question is do there have orther race that work in your company .we should show how diversity that people that play gunpla not just european or white people
that is my concern
Hi, and thanks for the comment! As we are located in Japan, the majority of our staff is Japanese. Gunpla TV, however, is an English-language program, and so is produced by our English speaking staff.
Cann’t wait to get a grimgerde, it looks awesome. I am a. It concerned with the thunderbolt full armor gundam, though. The preview shots do not have the joint coverings on the elbows and knees. I thought that was what makes this version different from the regular full armor. Hopefully they will appear on the model when it is revealed at the hobby show later this month.
just watched the Guntank in action in the origins movie.
Young Casval (Char) sure got some balls. like, you will never be as badass as Casval owning 4 Guntanks while holding his sister on his lap.
Tell me how to get high on gundam guys, just like Todd.. Do I have to work in the same kind of place like HLJ to get as high as Todd ?
JK 😀
Hope I win some kit :p
Great episode guys! Very excited about the MG Thunderbolt rx-78 full armor. I hope too win the hg denial gundam,I have been wanting that one for a while.
Nice episode guys but somehow sad without Ryan (congratz on twins!). I hope he will be back soon and I’m looking forward to see new stuff shown at Shizuoka Hobby Show! 😀
Hey Ryan, Syd and Todd, thanks for all the great shows you’ve done so far, especially the grade explanation ones as they helped me pick out my first gunpla kits, the HG Barbatos and Gusion Rebake. Sadly they weren’t from HLG, but after a bit of research its clear that not only do you have a great reputation, but you guys are cheaper overall than anyone else I can find for the UK, so all my orders will be with you guys from now on.
Just got 2 questions for you guys and the community, for my next lot of kits I’d like to do a top coat and panel wash, I know Ryan really likes his enamel panel wash, but I was wondering if acrylic paint would work just as well if watered down enough, and if it does work which gives the better effect, enamel or acrylic?
And probably more for Syd and Todd, for my next lot of gunpla I’ve decided to go with a few kits from the 00 line, so I was thinking the Exia and the 00 Raiser in HG…But they do come in RG…the price is good and they look doable with my skills…and I really do like the look of the RG QuanT…is it worth jumping from HG to RG if you are confident in your skills to do it?
Also send my thanks to Brian from Boss Builds, he managed to answer the question I was struggling with on how to layer different types of paints/top coats on ep4 of boss builds, I had been struggling with that for days!
Great episode as always, looking at the Grimgerde it seems like its too stocky? or just not thin and ‘sharp’ enough, either way cant wait for next time.
Great Episode guys, at the moment I’m in the middle of building my first PG, the red frame astray. It will look awesome once finished. Would be great if they announce a zaku II char version 3.0, but maybe there might be more 2.0 kits as there are a lot of them that need an upgrade.
Great, now I have to decide between the HG and 1/100 Grimgerde.
I’m also looking at the Gundam the Origin as my 1st MG, even though it’s slightly more expensive than the Freedom 2.0. I just love those accessories and gimmicks, and I don’t have a representation of the Gundam yet.
Oh I already knew about the RG kits (although I had hoped the Qan[t] would be release near the beginning of the month), my question was whether it would be worth making the jump from having only done 2 HG kits, to doing 3 RGs. I’ve actually already gone an ordered the Exia and 00 Raiser in RG and preordered QanT, but thanks for replying anyway.
The first Master Grade kit in four months has arrived and it’s a 2.0 version of the beloved Freedom Gundam. Check out the box contents and how that compares to its Freedom Gundam predecessor.
Its been almost three years since the MG Aile Strike Gundam Ver. RM was released, we get an updated Freedom but there still isn’t an MG Justice or Providence Gundam?
I haven’t had the opportunity to build any MGs yet, partly due to budget, but also because I have limited display space. How does the build experience differ from that of the RG? That’s the only version of a Freedom I have (the Strike Freedom).
Plenty of Plamo is coming your way in episode 202. Ryan busts open that Masterpiece Liger while Syd and Todd look at the first HGs from the Thunderbolt anime as well as two 1/100 scale kits that just […]
I am so excited for the 1/100 Grimgerde and RE1/100 Efreet custom to be built and shown next episode 😀 Hopefully the 1/144 Gundam will also get a 1/100 treatment.
I hope I win that MG kit! I don’t actually have that one and GBF is my favorite series of Gundam, I have all the HG kits ^_^
and you pronounce the second part like “Rin-ah-sh-ta”
and for a little more info on the kit’s name:
‘Fenice’ means Phoenix in Italian and refers to the fact that the ‘Gunpla Builder/Pilot’ kept rebuilding and improving it time after time, like a phoenix rising.’Rinascita’,also Italian, meaning Rebirth. The overall name of the Gunpla is a reference to the Phoenix being reborn from the ashes.
202- Nice…. That site that Sid was talking about might have been Myspace. That was the big social media site before FB. I like the thunderbolt Anime series. Can you do the new MG thunderbolt reviews when they are released? Thanks again HLJ, and hopefully, I win that MG!
Congratulations Ryan! I’m from Italy, to answer your question on the pronunciation of “fenice” until the “i” your pronunciation is pretty good, for the “ce” sound is similar to the “che” of chestnut. On google traslate the audio pronunciation it’s acceptable https://translate.google.it/?hl=it&tab=wT#it/en/fenice . Good episode as always, i’m very curious to see the liger and the Freedom 2.0 =D
Wow! I am not a fan of HG but the Origin and the Thunderbolt Ver. kits are really good looking.
Nice review as always!
Also, I would like to have that MG Rinascita on my hands! (^^^)
Excellent show guys. I’m really excited about the FA-78 Ver. Ka MG that got spoiled recently. It’s nice to get a MG of a suit that isn’t from SEED.
Also when Ryan pointed out the little gold men in the Zoids it made me wonder, do you guys remember zoids model kits from the 90s? I seem to remember having a white brontosaurus but I’m not sure. Here I thought I was a Gundam only kinda guy but maybe I’ve had Zoids kits for a lot longer?
Like always, Great episod.
Congratulations Ryan, great news to hear that you expanding you family 🙂 Hope everything will go well 🙂 I like the Full Armor Gundam, I Like bulky suites.
The Fenice Finascita would be a nice one for the collection 🙂
Hi. I’m Italian but it’s almost impossible to me to explain how to pronounce an Italian word in english!
I Try.
“Fenice” sounds like “phoenix” but remove the final “X” and add the sound “Che” at the end. The same “Che” of “Che Guevara”.
So it’s like “Phoeni”+”Che”.
The problem is the accent because english speaking people always put it in the wrong place. So even if you say “phoeni-Che” you will probably put the accent in the wrong place.
I don’t even try to explain how to say “Rinascita” or it will took me days! But You say it quite well.
If someone is interested the translation is “Phoenix Rebirth”. It’s wrong in English and it’s wrong in Italian too. Japanese guys have big problems with “Engrish” and with “Itarian” too. In Italian a better name could be “Fenice rinata” but it sounds horrible! 😛
Ha, already got my surprise Syd, and thanks I promptly used it in the Gundam sale you had on to get some Nice G-Reco kits (ehehehehe Elf Bullock) and (finally) a Barbatos.
Now I just need to wait for the Nobell restock and pray I get one and I’m all good!
…so we are getting two more workers at HLJ? That means even more kits shown and made right? Congrats! I can’t wait for my 2 month old to start helping me out with my kits too.
Another great episode :] I like the designs of the Thunderbolt kits a lot, but i wont be picking up the high-grade kits, instead im waiting for the master-grade versions that will be coming later on 😀 Im getting both the full armor gundam and zaku
I am just a bit surprised that you guy don’t have snapchat yet. I think it would be a great addition to the list of social media specifically for the Hobby Show coming up. I am looking forward to see what 1/700 IJN kits Hasegawa and Aoshima will be releasing! Winning the Rinascita would be awesome as I am visiting a friend in Italy later this year and it will be a great house warming present.
Congratz on the twins ryan and really looking forward to next week with the 1/100 efreet and freedom 2.0, hopefully unboxing or maybe todd might surprise us like last week with graze ein!!
ooh! sexy rinascita. i definitely want to get the thunderbolt kits once all the bills are caught up. keep going guys, and Syd, make sure Todd knows we haven’t forgiven him for letting us down on episode 200
I think Bandai’s biggest reveal for the Shizuoka Hobby Show was already leaked. I won’t spoil it for people who want to be surprised, but if you want to see it, go on any of those blogs that post scans and custom kits like Gundamguy or Gundamkitscollection.
Nice episode, I really like the thunderbolt kits even though i have never built one. Mostly because I tend to only build MGs. Happily, MG Thunderbolt is finally coming!
Random question, do you guys listen or have you listened to Babymetal. Started listening to them recently and find them amazing, I like both metal and j-pop, and this is a mix of both!
Thanks for the message from the competition, Syd, I cannot imagine how tedious it must be to have to email a thousand people with the same thing.
I like all those “2.0” improvements on the new MG Freedom but that plasma canons which go over the shoulders and also the wings look really strange… I prefer the original design 🙂
Really wanting to get the Thunderbolt kits. I believe Thunderbolt MGs are on the way and I am really wanting one of those. Can’t wait to see you guys cover more kits.
My comment was read on the show! Haha great show as always guys. I just built the HG Barbatos 6th form and was actually extremely dissapointed with the weapons options there was ONLY the Wrench mace, no gun, no original mace, no katana i think Bandai really dropped the ball with that one.
That moment when they read your comment for the first time.
*fanboy squeals*
I’ve spent my last few weeks watching Gunpla TV non stop, it’s so great to just hear other people talk about things you know/love and discuss over stuff. I love you guys so much so please never change (unless if it’s for the better), and stay awesome! 😀
Do my eyes deceive me Ryan is building another model kit again?!? Spectacular news! Also have you watched Gundam Thunderbolt, and what did you think of it?
That Full Armor Gundam looks like a beast, but now that they’ve announced the MG I’m gonna hold out for that one. I can only imagine how impressive he’s gonna look on my shelf. 😀
Seeing the Efreet un boxing makes me consider buying it, still waiting to see your Sinanju Stein/Qubeley mash up Mallard as well Syd.
As for the pronunciation of your give away prize I believe it is Ri na see ta, I would love to be the recipient of that MG as well, as it is one of my favourite designs from the GBF series.
After seeing this episode, I’m really looking forward to receive my FA-78 which is still in the mail. 🙁 Also really excited that Bandai announced the MG FA-78 ver Ka, that will be an instant buy:-) Also, good luck for your twins Ryan!
Congrats Ryan on your expanding family. I was waiting for Syds’s revenge, but didn’t see it coming so soon lol. I can’t wait to see all three kits that are being built and the prize would be amazing to win as well.
Congrats to Ryan on his twins, great episode cant wait to see the Liger completed. great job Syd on getting todd back from his sneak build of the graze ein. love all this plamo would like to win the kit but if not oh well i have a big backlog to work on. Keep up the awesome work everyone
Finally, after a month not seeing the sun, I actually arrived at the latest episode of hobbylink.tv, a fine gunplabased show with your hosts: Sidecutter Syd, Megasize Ryan (that`s what she says :D.. no she doesn`t :C)and (fresh from BANDAI´s humanoid modeller series) Tod the builderbot.
It was like a timlaps journey through gunpla-developement and forehead-growing.. and I loved it. Laughed a lot and since we are kind of similar age, it was interessting to see what childhood in the 80s was in Canada or South-Africa. Sadly Ryan seems to be too buisy and is a bit pushed aside in the show. I love his, sometimes not that cosher, comments and his runting. thats the prize you have to pay for the bigger gunpla-part (which is great). Best wishes to him and his wife for the comming birth, it feels like it was just weeks ago, when his first baby was born and Syd`s second.. Ah, before I forget, tell Scott, that I spent around 15.000 Yen for plastic (and 70.00 for shiping) during that time, just caused by your show. 😉 Best regards from Germany, can`t wait to see more ..o/
My brother used to have a small one, which was like a little AT AT walker and it walked…I, for myself just could look at the pictures in toycatalogues. I dreamt many nights about finally getting one of those dinosaurs, but never got one. The past night..30years later.. I built my very first ZOID. Would be awesome if it would walk, but the ligars sounds are horrible
The zoids masterpiece is not your father’s zoids. Congrats to Ryan, hope the family is well, although i think it will be a while until we see the zoids if there are twins on the way.
Todd is coming along nicely. It is good to have a gunpla geek on the show. I totally get what he is saying about building older kits and how far they have come.
Okay, 200 is over and done and now we are back to our (semi) normal routine with 201. Syd and Ryan talk about the newly announced kits while Todd shows up to go over the most recent Iron-Blooded Orphan models in […]
lmao awesome! i love the surprised Syd part when Todd brought out the finished Graze Ein xD was that really not planned? if it wasn’t, you have some great acting skills Syd. more power to you guys and waiting for the Shizuoka Hobby coverage and for more episodes!
Great episode as always.
It would be great if you opened up that box for us Ryan. Like to see what TakaraTomy made out of this Masterpiece!
Would be cool to see something different from IBO kits.
See you on the next episode!
I wonder if Bandai managed to fix the look of the GN Sword V on the RG 00-Quanta. It looked ridiculously flat on the other grades. So far I am not encouraged, although the rifle mode looks better.
I might get the Grimgerde even if it gets upgraded in season 2. I want to see what they do with the Barbatos in the fall before I get one. I only want to get one Barbatos.
Interesting choice on the 1/100 Barbatos 6th form, giving it 2 maces. Where’s the sword? Hi-Res is priced at PG range.
For that price I believe Bandai should have done a PG barbatos instead of the high res, but, we also have to admire them for trying new things.
I want to see that Zoid assembled, go for it Ryan!!!
graze eins sneaking slowly from under the table
and Syd kept on talking about how tall it is,
how dark its colors are, blah blah…
then realizing Tod already built one.
— hilarious!!! haha
After five years, and a few extra weeks, HobbyLink TV is proud to bring you Gunpla TV Episode 200. A lot of planning went into this special episode, which was then discarded in large amounts due to the time […]
Hmmm… I don’t know if I’m early or what but first, congratulation for the 200th episodes!!! I watched you guys since the beginning and y’all have improved a lot.
It’s the first episode of gunpla tv that I watched since a 2 month long hiatus. (Cegep got in the way 🙁 ) It’s good to be back!
I’m not real sure about entering the competition since I’m very broke ( I just paid my tution fee and some additional summer courses.) I don’t think I’ll even have the money to get a model kit since I’m investing into a computer for studying engineering in university!
Anyways, glad to see you guys all healthy and keep up the good work! 🙂
It’s crazy how much time and effort you’ve put into Gunpla TV, the prices were way beyond what I could expect!! Not only that, the humurous video shows real dedication as well, haha! “Which one is Syd, and which one is Ryan?”, my favorite line from the skit. xD
Even though I didn’t win anything, getting recognized by receiving a consolation prize/coupon (whatever it may be) felt really appreciating, especially as a viewer that constantly follow the show like an eager dog. I hope you guys continue the show for as long as possible, and I also hope Syd’s wife doesn’t get jelly of (Syd’s second wife) the PG Unicorn.
Congrats on finally reaching the big TWO O O. Hope you guys keep going for another 200 more or maybe you shouldn’t because you guys keep making me spend money on kits. Any way looking forward to seeing the custom contest, too much talent for me to even think about entering.
Great episode guys! Was on the edge of my seat for the V2 prize but sadly no luck. Then again I already got lucky with the MG Gundam X on sale. Thanks for all the episodes and great fun, already looking forward to 201!
Congrats on making it to episode 200! I never realize how much work it took to make this Milestone episode. Props and Kudos. Keep on doing what you guys do best!
Well i didnt win, but it was still fun watching, i thought your first few “Chapters” were hilarious especially Todd’s initiation, good work guys and here’s to 200 more.
To be honest i didnt like how the prizes were given out. Bundles for only 10 people didnt seem fair to me. Could have stretched that out and let more people win even if they already have a kit; they would have been grateful.
The episode itself was ok. Some funny parts but i thought hlj was in Japan. All i saw were white folk. Haha.
Congrats on your 200. Ive been watching since the very beginning and enjoy your efforts, though i have never won anything ever which is a bummer.
Congrats to those who did win.
We are located in Japan and staffed by a large, diverse crew! All the folks who made appearances in this episode were included because they’ve been involved in some way with Gunpla TV or hobbylink.tv. Thanks for watching!
To Syd for creating such an awesome program, Newest team member Todd for the in-depth analysis of each new kit and Ryan for umm.. ahhh..
Kidding we all know just how much Ryan does behind the scenes as well as his onscreen cameos. (The Stan Lee of GunplaTV) Thank you guys soo much for the last five years of exceptional entertainment and information.
Can’t wait for the upcoming Comp. So many colour combination ideas. Hmm… Dark Barbatos maybe…
Congrats 200 episodes! Love your regrettable acting! Hilarious. I imagine Syd having tea with his best buddies unicorn everyday, not just for the show. Thanks for all the give-aways. Everyone got something! hopefully a discount code for next purchase. Looking forward to 201!
Thanks for this episode guys, and no wonder my Gunpla addiction has increased since I’ve been watching you, you have amazing dedication!!! Also, thanks for deciding that everyone is a winner, whatever it may be, really appreciate it!
blindside! wake up on a sunday and ep 200’s been out since friday? got me good on that one…
awesome 200th, Gunpla TV team; the festivities were much enjoyed!! the blooper segments lol’d me especially hard. good times, and congrats to the winners!
We are going to close entries for the contest now. Anyone who has posted below me who has NOT received a number could you send me a private message. To everyone else who has joined thank you and good luck in the contest!
Dear Syd and HLJ,
Thank you so much for being an inspiration for a novice Gunpla builder like myself. I’ve been a Gundam fan since Wing came on Toonami when I was a child. After watching your videos, I finally mustered up the courage to build my first kit. Even though I just learned about the contest (and not eligible) since I was focused on…[Read more]
We will be closing entries very soon so anyone who hasn’t entered needs to do so. If you have entered and haven’t received your entry number please post here again and I will see it.
On March 24, 2 PM JST Gunpla TV unboxed and assembled the newest in model technology from Bandai, the 1/100 High-Resolution Model Gundam Barbatos. Re-watch our Live Event to see what this new line has to offer.
Missed the orginal live cause there was no news about it on hobbylink.tv…. Maybe next time have it posted on the blog…
And about the kits… its all bling ^^
Not related to the post, but is anyone else getting messages from random users asking you to email them? Two different people have done this to me so far, i haven’t emailed them because it seems very suspicious.
This High Res Model is Super Cool! Super expensive for my wallet though. Would rather get a Perfect Grade for that kind of money, though you do have to appreciate the fact that it has the die-cast frame. Can’t wait to have a look at this kit with the weapons in Episode 200!
For the big 199 Todd and Syd go into detail about two new High Grade kits from Iron-Blooded Orphans and also rip the packaging off of two new big 1/100 IBO kits!
Hahaha! what a funny episode! Nice NG Scene Todd it make a good laugh for me! I expect more funny gags from you Todd XD.
Aw, I didn’t get that MG too. Oh well, never mind I saw something that caught my eyes from that clearance sale. That MG Phenex! gotta get that this month!
And Thanks for Lindsay answering my question that I have been asked at Tumblr. Really Fast Response! Thanks! But sadly I can’t get my snow miku this years… 🙁 and I looking forward to Eps. 200!
I’m looking forward for the next episode keep up the good work guys
at first didn’t plan to buy the kimaris but i think i’ll buy both of them and make my own perfect kimaris ö/
Ive been holding out on buying IBO kits waiting for the MGs…but man some of these kits are making it really hard. I think the Graze might be my favorite mook suit since the original Zaku IIs.
With the TV version of Unicorn airing next month it’s very likely the next RG will be from Unicorn. But what would really make me happy is if they’d announce a RE/100 Kshatriya. We’ve already seen that they were considering it and this would be an excellent time to make it.
my guess is that we will see a mg build burning gundam this year, this is based off of seeing the Freedom 2.0’s effect parts and that we still have an ova in the works
what would be really wild is seeing an mg star winning gundam
I second that! Was looking for someone in the comments who noticed that there was no link to it. Pleased that it was you Nick! Yeah, I’m afraid to search for that too, knowing what they sell in vending machines, LOL.
If you don’t know, ignorance is bliss!!!!! LMAO
Would be an awesome troll if you guys decided to do episode 199.5 instead of episode 200, and damn that 1/100 kimaris kit box is bigger than I expected.
By the way Syd, have you or todd did any paint builds on any IBO kits?
I never noticed the slight audio buzz you had sometimes.
Todd, you sometimes speak more slowly than you have to. If you keep up a good cadence that’ll just carry you through the presentation and keep viewer interest. You don’t have to, for example, unfold the tail stabilizer like it’s this big thing.
My Top 3 IBO kits so far are:
1. Grimgerde
2. Barbatos 6th Form or Gusion Rebake (trying to decide between them)
3. Kimaris Trooper (that heavy lance kills it)
Still waiting to see if Bandai releases complete kits once the series is done.
Sid you forget to include the link, but that sounds like so much fun, green samurais. Now if they want to up their ante they should do it loaded with Jameson.
You guys are so funny recreating the scene. Thanks for the great show. Can’t wait to see the episode 200. Please let me win something…LOL.
I would love to see bandai to put out Unicorn or Sinanju in RG. Just wondering if Bandai going to have more high resolution kit in the future for the older Gundam model. I’m particularly interested and fan in RX-78-2.
HLJ Just blew my every expectation 😀 Ordered 1/100 Kimaris on the 18th 6h after I did, it was sent 😀 Recieved it today!
P.S It`s now built and I LOVE IT!
Great show as always guys! I think I drooled a little bit when you mentioned RG Unicorn kits, lol. I am hoping for an MG Build Burning Kit. My nephew is crazy about “Fireball Gundam” I think he would lose his mind, lol.
The way the designs are evolving are upsetting me a little bit. It’s ok to have new concepts so that the mobile suits aren’t always the same, but that deviation is becoming awkward. After seeing Astaroth i was less worried. Lets hope the next season of IBO will have MS with a design more closer to what gundam MS are.
A great episode as always.
Another great episode. That 1/100 original mace is what sealed the deal for me preordering when I found out. Can’t wait to see the hi-res, but it pushes the 200th episode out another week sadly. Speaking of the 200th, please include a zoid for the zoid fans among us if its not too late.

Awesome video as always. I realky wanna build that kimaris trooper. I thought is was very similar, but its not!! Jajaja as for the graze, im not really sure. Anyways, good job once again and good luck for episode 200!
I really enjoy the comparisons you guys show us with these IBO kits. Awesome to see them side by side and even better when you swap parts so we can see how the kit looks like with its alternate pieces. Cant wait for episode 200.
After seeing the box size and contents, I’m really happy I managed to get hold of the Barbatos 6th Form 1/100 🙂 Building the regular Barbatos right now, will probably give him the mace. Thanks for the great show guys!
Hi, i’ve been stalking you guys for quite awhile. I love kits, and i’m considered a newbie. Working on my first custom right now. Excited for episode 200!!!
Hey guys! Ryan, Syd and Todd. Congratulations on 200th Episode! I’m so happy for you guys, I have been tuning since around episode 130th. – and I’ve learned so much stuff thanks to you guys!
Having just finished watching this episode I have just placed my order for some of these IBO kits, very impressed with them and poses you can achieve with them.
I hope that the next pg is Pg RX-03 unicorn Phenix. There is also a rumor about a rg stark jegan. Forget the main suits the grunt suits are just as cool.
Syd and Ryan, what are your toughts about Battlefront coming on ps4 VR?
I personally would like to see Dice also work with another VR maker for pc.
PS: this was just teased a few days back so everything is still possible of course.
and can’t wait for next episode it’s gonna be epic!
More High-Heels!
I guess some people will think the Kimarsi Centaur form looks weird but i actually love it, really looking forward to getting that one,love The suits with lances.
Already built my 1/100 Barbatos Form 6, looks great on my shelf! Have to put the 1/144 version, as well as Carta’s Graze Ritter and Kimaris Trooper together yet, but that will hopefully be this weekend!
Alright, after day #2 I’m caught up. Everyone below me should have received their Entry Number. I need to ask group members not to comment in this group after leaving their initial entry comment. That will make sending out the entries that much easier for me, but please, if you’re as excited as we are for Gunpla TV Episode 200 please feel free to…[Read more]
Everyone below my comment should be receiving their private message from me with their Entry Number. Remember that number. It represents you in the Episode 200 Contest. Tomorrow I’ll pick up where I leave off here and message the new entrants. Good luck everyone!
Congrats on making it to 200 episodes!!! When I first started Gunpla, I wasn’t all that interested until I started watching Gunpla TV. Thanks for the inspiration and long live Gunpla TV!!!
It turns out one of Bandai’s mysterious kits is actually the High Grade Barbatos 6th form. It’s not enough that we show that one kit on Gunpla TV so instead we are taking you through all 6 forms! As a cherry on […]
Can’t wait for episode 200. I remember that episode that you guys try to give the rouge away. You guys gave away the strike to me that episode. it would be cool to win the other strike this time.
The strike rouge is honestly my favorite suit from the seed anime’s I’m glad that bandai has made three great iterations from what I hear of it (PG,RG and MG remaster) and I’d gladly own any/all of them
New to the channel, just got into gunpla. barbatos was my first one built and ive been hooked ever since. love the content on the channel and can’t wait for 200. I am a big 00 fan and was wondering if they have maid a mg of Cherudim?
I don’t see the group yet, I guess it haven’t been credited… I’m excited about this ep. 200 event. Also, it’s been awhile we haven’t seen any gunpla contest from HLJ. Are you guys planing to do one anytime soon? Not saying I make something really good, but I do enjoy seeing other’s work. Thanks and just 1 more ep. And keep up the good work.
I find it kinda funny how bandai is really milking the kits of the series. Wasn’t the build fighters series made for that purpose? But then again, for the low prices of these kits, the quality is 8/10.
Thanks for the advice guys! Can’t wait for episode 200. I’ll muster up some courage some time soon and update you guys about it. It’s my 1st time doing it and I’m 18 hahahaha
Hopefully someones failure will turn into my success in winning the strike rouge. I’ve actually got an HG Strike. Would be awesome to have the Strike Rouge
Wow that DOM looks puurrfect! I gotta order this. Btw, I still haven’t gotten my answer for my Snow Miku 2016 editions from good smile company. I have asked a question about the Snow Miku 2016 has been released officially or still on process? Since I haven’t seen HLJ selling those stuff so I assume haven’t released yet. Anddd A bit sad not to get that MG D+ lol… I guess I am gonna put it on my wishlists.
I am looking forward for ep200. (mooooore gift pleaseee >_<)
You guys are awesome! I finally caught up on all the backlog episodes! Did I miss it but Ryan, what happened to the Falcon? Also Syd, I’m hoping that you finally do an episode of your updated top 5 master grade gundams! Thanks!
sweet ep guys think i’m gonna pass on the 144 barbatos 6 form and get the 1/100 instead but i would also like to add a strike rouge to my 1/100 collection
Awesome episode as usual can’t wait to get a hold of that Barbatos 6th form!! I’m more excited about the booklet cause I had no idea that was in there!! But I’m really really excited about 200!! What is the mystery price!!!
Just FYI the Dom monoeye tech isn’t new, it’s in the original HGUC Dom. ^.^ You just don’t see it often because most Zeon suits don’t have room for it.
Dun dun da!Another brilliant episode guys. only 2 more episodes to go till episode 200. RNG gods hear my plea!I got into gundam due to gundam seed.Please hear my wish an grant me the pinkness that is the strike rouge!
hopefully they indeed will start some wing in rg but personally i would like to see rg tallgeese and rg epyon + why aren’t there any pg tallgeese? strike rouge pink or not i want one xD
You guys are the best and only channel that I know that cover plamo as extensively. I started watching years ago and I’m happy to see you were able to keep it up. Episode 200 is a massive milestone!
I wouldnt call the Dom eye design being new. It works the same for the old HGUC DomRick-Dom kit (sadly only for this Dom kit and not others that even came later)
Great show as always, and will bee fun to see what you will come up with in ep 200 🙂 Strike Rouge would bee nice to get, thinking of getting it many times but never done it.
Thanks for showing all of the Barbatos forms, I was wondering why it went from 1 to 6 in kits, can’t wait for the 1/100 Barbatos Form 6 to release, looks like it’s gonna be a nice kit as well, thanks for the episode guys, looking forward to 200, the strike rouge ootori is awesome, a great kit for weathering
i hope i win this time 🙁 ive been watching every episode you guys have and it helps me picking out the right kit and learning some techniques . more power to your show!
The YMS-08B Dom Test Type and may have just made me invest in these suits, I like how easy it is to pose them. The more I see the Iron Blooded Orphan kits the more I am tempted to purchase some to add to my back log of 40 kits.
I love those Origin kits; hopefully they start making MG or at least 1/100 scale versions of them.
Also, very exited to see what you guys do for episode 200! Keep up the good work!
6th form looks really nice. i dont like either the new nor the old feet tho. maybe i’ll change my mind if i get to see them in person but for now, not really a fan of them
I always knew that the Barbatos is a fully modular mobile suit, together with Bandai’s thing now with kitbashing that started with the GBF series, I was not surprised you can do all of them on a single frame
Enemy grunts in your way?
Need to give the enemy leader a sad death?
Want to steal that awesome shoulder armor?
Going beyond episode 200?
Relationship troubles?
I don’t know what is more exciting, episode 200 or the next episode of Iron Blood Orphans. I will say hype for episode is 200 gunpla TV is crazy for me, but next episode of IBO, Gundams will be fighting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have family living there and it is pretty much just a few hours drive from where I live. I hope they capture the beauty of the river valley and the rest of the city. Right now I am so proud to be a Canadian, Albertian and especially a Gundam Fan!
That DOM looks great! And it even comes with the beam bazooka. I might just get one so I can use it with the beam bazooka from the old DOM kit for an awesome custom build!
The more I see the Origin Dom, the more interesting it is. I might have to grab two so I can have an original and make the Zaku II Prototype (while avoiding the P-Bandai version).
The Test Dom is very retro and I like it. Maybe it’s just a little bit too “classic”. Too similar to a Dom except for the skirt.
But it’s an awesome kit and I love the mobility and the white stripes (more retro than this it’s impossible!).
Relatively new to the show, great content guys! Cannot wait to get the Dom myself. Been wanting a MG Strike Rouge for a while so that would be nice to win!
The colour and detail on the wings of the Ootori back pack remind of a space shuttle. Have meant to get the Rouge but as I’ve already done the Strike RM, I didnt want to build the same kit that soon. Wouldnt mind winning it though!
I find it kinda silly these small changes are consider new form. At this rate, by the end of season 2, it maybe up to form 20.
Also, I think the reason for the high heels is because the Barbatos was modified to function on earth by those 2 girls so the 6th form kinda has a feminine look.
Thanks for the show guys. The Origin Dom does look very nice. Wondering how the head piece is put together? I have the HGBF R33 Dom, and the piece that covers mono-eye keeps falling off for me.
As an Irish fellow I’m curious if St Paddy’s Day is celebrated in Japan in any way? Also what is your drink of choice? Mine is Guinness, I’ve tried it in a few other countries but it tasted like urine, it doesn’t travel well.
I love that Bandai is encouraging and facilitating kitbashing with things like the Barbatos. Mikazuki is a frickin’ barbarian with that mace-wrench and it’s apt that his gundam is named after a Demon. Like in the last episode when he smacked the one guy’s ms before he could get back in his cockpit, sending him flying and then splattering on the ground like a insect.
I love this show.
As a fan of Cagalli (because female mobile suit pilots are few and far between, and she’s just kinda awesome), I really hope I get the Rouge. Especially since I missed the last thing I wanted, the Blue Astray. I have my fingers, toes and arms crossed!
I love the Doms. Seeing an modern yet “old” design Dom come to life is really awesome seeing how gunpla has improved over the years. Since Delta didnt make it, im hoping Rougue will be my first master grade to enter my shelfs?
Hi Guys,
Fun show as always. I was wondering if you know if Bandai, or any other company for that matter, matched their model releases to coincide with an anime series in the manner of Iron-Blooded Orphans? And why does Todd always call him Barbados? Is he hinting for a vacation?
I’ll try to think of some relationship questions for future shows.
tsss 198. Here I thought we still had a month or two before ep200.
and relieved to hear the rules for the contest doesn’t involve building and submitting something. ;P
Another good episode guys! I don’t really go for HGs, but that Dom actually looks pretty good. Would love to get that Rouge for custom work. Here’s hoping.
Another super entertaining episode. I am still not a fan of the IBO kits, so I am looking forward to the next MG’s and RG’s coming later this year. What do you guys think will be the big kit release of 2016?
I would love to win the Strike, as that is my favorite suit design of all time, I have it in RG and MG form, and really want it in PG too.
All the IBO kits are looking great, I love the design for this anime… Inner frame for the HG and 1/100 what is special is that the kits are cheaper to be this good!!!!
When you guys mention Mecs and high heel the image of the Five Star Stories Mecs always come to mind. Those Mecs actually look pretty cool with the heels IMO.
Interestingly enough, I kind of dislike the “short” feel of the form 6 barbatos arms. I think they need to be a tad bit longer. Maybe the shoulders just cause them to look shorter, who knows. I can’t believe that it had 6 forms in the end lol. Keep up the good work guys.
Very close to episode 200, so excited. However, I am just not sure whether or not I want to win prizes on that episode. Anyways thanks guys for going over the six forms of the Barbatos and am looking forward to at least winning that Strike Rouge Oowatari.
Barbatos was the first ever kit I did! Also that Dom looks sick and I cant wait for episode 200!Ive been eyeballing the MG Strike Rouge at my local hobby shop lately and it would be awesome to be able to win that kit.
Always a pleasure watching these, though my back catalog continues to grow with each episode. This summer I’ll just have to start building all of the kits!
That reminds me… when are they going to get around to releasing Reconguista MG kits?
The powah of the pink rouge shall be mine!!! Mwahahah :3
(i can dream)
Probably too late to enter this week >__< That's what I get for catching up late on the epiosde
OMG, you guys are so funny recreating the scene. Great show, thanks.
Please let me win something for the eps 200…LOL.
It would be nice if Bandai put out RG Unicorn or Sinanju.
I would like to know if Bandai have any plan to continue the high resolution kit for other Gundams. I’m a particular fan of RX-78-2 kit.
Yo.I just made a new account and when I was waiting for my activation for that account I got a message from a guy named faith.please help me.I don’t know who is this guy.and I hope I win.I love gundam barbatos.even if it is anything small I will be happy.I will be buying gunpla model kits from your site by my birthday which Is coming in a few months!!!!!!!!!.
Already built my 1/100 Barbatos Form 6, looks great on my shelf! Have to put the 1/144 version, as well as the Carta Graze Ritter and Kimaris Trooper together yet, but that will hopefully be this weekend!
First !!!
As much as Astaroth look really good, why I do get the feeling that Barbatos will not be showing as much as in season 1?
And regarding FA-78 Ver. Thunderbolt Ver. KA, when will you guys show off the glory of the kit? since the kit is available for Pre-Order now at hlj.com
I cant wait for a 1/100 scale Astaroth!
Nice video as always! I wonder, so what is the difference between the Original GM Thunderbolt and the Anime version? I can’t really tell.
First Congrats for Ryan and good to have you back.
LA Expo… Oh man I would like to join but in LA… =,=!
That’s too far…
For the RG Sinanju, I Guess I would like to have that. But I am more interested if Bandai made RG for Unicorn or Full Armor Unicorn Full Transform in RG Teehee. But I guess Full Armor Unicorn will be in P-Bandai.
Anyway Great Episode as always! 😀 Keep going till 300 eps. 😀
Congratulations for the twinsyou, Ryan!!!! We’re very, very happy for you!! 🙂
I’ll be at Anime Expo! I’ll also be entering the regional GBWC there. Hope to see you guys, take some pics with you guys, and not confuse Hobby japan’s booth for yours this time! 😀
Possible RE/100 Queen Mansa? let happen Bandai, let it happen.
The only reason I will go to anime expo is you guys!! I’ll probably bring you guys some in n out animal style fries..
Gundam Astaroth is awesome! I hope there’ll be a 1/100 version!
great show, cant wait for RG Sinanju
Awww, Syd! You remembered my comment on ManowaR but you forgot to add it to the list? Now I’m sad… lucky me, I have the new DOOM OST running right now, so I’ll manage. But now I feel like I deserve some kind of compensasion, you know? You’d better remember, this time, or I’ll have HeatMetal count up your sins!
Good episode, it’s good to see Ryan survived.
I know this is late but Congrats Ryan on your twins!
Cant wait to get my hands on that RG Sinanju gotta love dem mechy parts
I think Todd was referring to the Spinner Rodi. Still waiting for Bandai to announce a kit for that….
I think the next RE will the Bawoo and I think I’ll get that Astaroth…
Can’t wait to see the Gyan and Zaku in the next episode. Sieg Zeon!
Congrats, Ryan.
Someday Bandai will figure out a way to make a long, flat buster sword look not quite as silly. Do we have hope for RG Quanta?
The new Doom mashes the Nostalgia Button.
The new ibo Gundam looks awesome
I feel like Bandai had a hard choice deciding whether the Hyaku Shiki or the Unicorn would be the 200th HGUC.
One one hand the Hyaku Shiki is “type 100”, a milestone in its own name.
On the other hand, the 100th HGUC was the very first Unicorn, I wouldn’t complain if we got the same kit 2 milestones in a row 😛
Maybe that yellow look better in person than it does on TV but I have to say that I am not a fan of it.
will you do a live build of new figurise dbz?
Great show, cant wait for RG Sinanju !!
Yay! Ryan’s back on Gunpla TV! 😀
I have been really waiting for that Gyan Revive for far too long, I need that thing. I wish I could go to the Anime Expo, but 1. Have to revise for Exams, 2. I live in Hong Kong, and 3. I’m saving that money for Gunpla (BIRTHDAY RG SINANJU HYYYPE).
Todd, it’s not a Man Rodi, it’s a different mobile Suit called the “Spinner Rodi” and I want a kit of it. ;-;
I actually prefer the asymmetrical look as opposed to the symmetrical look, it’s what makes the Astaroth Special. I like the design of the Thunderbolt GM, but i’m sorta debating whether to get it or not due to the hollow parts and static arms. I assume it’s to save money but it’s a bit of a turn off.
I’m a huge fan of Kamen Rider, and that kit would seem cool, but I would have nowhere to put it. XD
Still hoping I win it though. <3
I can’t wait for the RG Sinanju to come out!!!
Hey can you tell me figure rise standard size is mg figure rise or figure rise 6 ?
Multi-pass… 5th element.
Pre-order link for RG Sinanju please.
Welcome back Ryan. Congrats again.
Yay, Ryan’s Back!!!
Two of the first songs I learned to play on guitar were Fight for Freedom and Metal Daze by Manowar
Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju, it gives me hope for an RG Unicorn in the future
Well, you’re really pick a great prize for next week Gunpla TV episode, Syd
Because Kamen Rider W got a new Cyclone Joker SHFiguarts in Shinkoucchou Seihou line yesterday
Really cool episode!
I got a question, when will the RX-78-4 and RX-78-5 get restocked?
It has changed from April restock to June restock
Can’t wait to get hold of it~~~
HEATO, METARU! MAXIMUM DRIVE! I just had to do that, sorry.
Congrats to Ryan!
And speaking of the Astaroth, I hope the unnamed kit at Shizuoka is the upgrade of Astaroth…
Great episode guys! and gratz on twin boys Ryan. Also, Todd your not the only one! I think your version of Astaroth looks better than the one bandai printed out! I still love you Mr.Bandai dont be angry with me!
Congratz to Ryan for getting the 1/1 PG Boy Twin Set. Surprise to see a build fighters version of the Astaroth at the Shizuoka already!
I need to have an Efreet Schneid!
I’m packing heat with metal.*cops arrive*
Great show as usual and glad to see Ryan back! I can’t wait for later today as I will be getting my GM thunderbolt and the Astaroth in the mail for a long weekend of gunpla building. I would love to meet you guys in LA; however, I don’t have enough spare holiday days left after booking my for a trip to Europe(insert crying face here). I will be there in spirit.
Haha welcome back Ryan. How many years will it be for the Ligar. I gave up seeing the Falcon finished, and now since Ryan v2.0 and v2.1 having a screaming contest at your place, this will also take while. But great to have you back in the show. Talking about the show, if you are going to do a livebuild Syd, when will it be announced? Would love to join.
Congratulations Ryan! Great video guys! The Astaroth looked interesting. I can’t wait for the RG Sinanju, it’s going to be fantastic. Kamen Rider Heat/Metal, awesome 🙂
Great episode as always guys, Symmetrical Astaroth was actually awesome, show off some more ideas Todd! Congrats Ryan get them the same clothes no variations, your wife will hate it 🙂 Anyways wish i could see you guys at the show but im unable to attend *Sigh* Have fun, and Sieg Zeon!
Oooh! I spy a Kamen Rider Double, Heat Metal! I’m really up for that, but only because I know someone else who’d really like it as he’s a massive Double fan. Looking forward to the 00 Qant next episode, it’s pretty awesome!
great episode! awesome work Todd. love the custom work and info on the Astaroth symmetry, you’re very considerate. can’t wait for the future releases!
Can’t wait for that RG Qan[T]
Congrats once again, Ryan. Hope you can manage your time with work, family, and DOOM.
HEATO! METALO! may you always build GunplaTV!
Hi guys,
Great show. Thanks. Wow, an hour long.. nice.
Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju….
KAMEN RIDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
RG sinanju is so sweet. Want!!!
Great show, can’t wait for the RG Sinanju…
The Original Version of Astaroth! Only on Hobbylink TV!
Still no MG 3.0 Char’s Zaku II… The dream is dead, isn’t it?
Glad to see that your back Ryan, it felt a bit strange to only have Syd and Todd on the show, and make sure to take care of yourself you sounded a bit tired near the end.
However Todd, Syd, you guys are really trying to take it out on my wallet, 2 HG Astaroths for a “complete look” version. And your talk of putting the Thunderbolt Full Armour Gundams backpack on the GM, made me think of a mash up with the Full Armour Gundams backpack, the Powered GM Cardigan, possibly the Powered Arms Powereder option pack and some miniguns from the Heavy Arms or its custom form, for the Full Armour Powered GM Cardigan All Arms ver.
But I’ve got the Exia and 00 Raiser RGs coming from you to do first, which I guess I’d better do before doing something crazy.
Kamen Raidaaaaaaaaaah
thunderbolt kits are full pack, cant wait to see them in MG ver.
Wow!!! I really like this episode that when Tod show us what he do with Astraroth!!! It is really creative and new to me!!!! Thank you for showing me how to play with gunpla properly….!!! XD
Cannot wait for RG Sinanju
Glad you have you back Ryan!
After watching the Thunderbolt anime I really hope they do an MG of the psycho zaku, He kinda felt more like the protagonist than the FA.
You guys should go to a con on the east coast of the US, Gencon or Pax!
Congrats on the twin! todd should really praticing the lines. both of you got responsibility now.. one on the twins and one on the lines.. hahahaha :-p
Just gotta say…cant wait for that zaku origin!!
COUNT UP YOUR SINS!
HEAT
METARU
I wish I could go to AX, but I don’t have enough money to go to, let alone enough to take a trip within my own state right now. Maybe I could do some Gunpla commissions. I hear those bring in good amounts of money.
sweet ep guys super excited to get my hands on the Gundam Astaroth
I like the Thunderbolt designs, that GM is really good looking for a grunt suit!
Welcome back Ryan, good luck with the twins. Can’t wait to see the gyan in action. I’m also excited for build fights as well Todd, those new kits look ace.
Great show! welcome back Ryan and congratulation. =]
I have noticed that lately every new mold for HG kits have lego-style peg hands instead of trigger fingers. The hyaku-shiki is the revive I’ve been looking forward to since they first announced them but from the pictures and videos I’m very disappointed that Bandai might be using the cheap style hands on it. what are your guys’ thoughts on the hands?
Awesome episode!!!
love your videos,you guys inspired me to start building gunpla.Heres to another 200 videos!
I’m waiting patiently for RG Sinanju preorders to go live so I can spend my hard earned dollarydoos
Hi Syd ryan and todd, First of all congratulations to Ryan on the twins. I just like to commend you all for the effort you excerted in each episode. You gave me purpose in life. I was suicidal before. But when I watched your videos.. Every episode I have watched has enticed me to build more and more gunpla. I am building for 4 months now and have built 10 hg’s, 2 Mg’s and 1 RG in my possesion. Looking forward to build a PG. Now I am happy and met new friends who shares the same interest. the hobby saved me.. You guys saved me.. and I am grateful to you ..more power to your show Hoobylinkjapan. GUNPLA TV ROCKS!!
Thank you for making all the videos!
Speaking of videogames, have you guys played Overwatch yet ?!
For real! You guys should come to Shanghai, China. Check out the gunpla expo during ACG comic fair!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great episode guys ^_^ can’t wait for the unnamed HG from the Iron-Blooded Orphans Gaiden side story, and that RE/100, so many kits so little time
Karen Raidaaaaaaaaaah
Nice kits!
