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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • That’s some fragile plane!

    • Great episode.

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

    • great episode

    • nice episode guys

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

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

    • i hope to win the secret price…:D

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

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

    • Wonder what that mystery kit is hmm

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • i still wanna win

    • keep up the good work fellas

    • YEY I MISSED YOU GUYS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • This is a secret comment for a secret kit.

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

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

    • Welcome back guys! Glad you enjoyed yourselves!

    • The TROOPER! Some Maiden love!

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

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

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

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

    • already forgot the outro.

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

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

    • Welcome back

    • welcome back to the Japanese diet 😛 #eatmoregunpla

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

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

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

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

    • gimme gimme

    • welcome back, and another great episode 🙂

    • Transformable kits:the bane of my builder career

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

    • Mystery kit is mysterious!

    • cool ep cant wait for the 1/100 trooper

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

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

      Stay awesome!

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

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

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

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

    • What is the mystery prize? Thank you!

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

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

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

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

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

    • The Todd Lol

    • still waiting for the plamo competiton announcement

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

    • Awwwww yisssss

    • Welcome back guys! Now give me something! 😉

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

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

    • I like macross kits.

    • I BACKKKKKKK

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

    • Oh myyy, the FA Thunderbolt is amazing.

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

    • bloop

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • Sticker Hell…

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

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

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

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

    • Random mystery price giveaway. Sounds cool

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

    • Hi rrobbert184, two Rs two Bs. In the off chance that you are able to read this, I just wanted to say thanks. You were the reason why I picked up gunpla as a hobby. It has now been 5 years and man I gotta tell you I still enjoy it. It really helped me out a lot to take my mind off of things and to just sit back and relax. There’s almost a zen vibe when building kits you know? Anyways, see you around

  • Syd wrote a new post 7 years, 11 months ago

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

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

    • great!

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

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

    • Nice show, waiting for more gundam kits!!

    • I want Barbatos and Mace-chan

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

    • I really enjoy the models of the pilots.

    • HG Barbatos for the win

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

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

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

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

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

    • gundamuuUuuuuuu!

    • DANG IT i just got the barbatos from hlj XD

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

    • Sadly, I have never watched Top Gear 🙁

    • so deep

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

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

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

    • Nice!

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

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

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

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

    • great episode

    • barbatos plz even though he so cheap lol

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

      Barbatos for the win 😀

    • Amazing episode as always

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

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

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

    • barbatos me… 😀

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

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

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

      Bomber!

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

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

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

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

    • Nice episode again ~
      RNG plz come ~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • I want my RX-0!!! Great show!

    • I hope you guys enjoy yourselves at AX2016

    • I hope you guys enjoy yourselves at AX2016

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

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

    • Great episode! Enjoy Anime Expo! Jet Lag!

    • Wish I could go to the show. 🙁

      AMAZING RED WARRIOR, GO!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      For Syd:

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

      For Ryan:

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

      For Todd:

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

    • Great show guys!

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

    • Hi HLJ 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • Another great episode, keep up the good work!

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • See you guys in America

    • Great stuff as always guys!

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

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

    • That full armor looks GODLY

    • i wanna win

    • gun cannon

    • That macross kit, i need more macross!

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • See yall at AX~

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

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

      Have fun at the con, best of luck guys!

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

    • damn I really wanted that hyaku shiki 🙁

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

    • Nice Star Wars Figure

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • I hope the new macross kits are good.

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

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

    • give gundams!

    • Some say, his joints are actually oversized
      polycaps…

      …others say he actually has nippers for hands…

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

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

    • Enjoy the anime Expo. 🙂

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

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

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

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

    • hope for good news in expo!

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

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

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

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

    • Can I have those kits?

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

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

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

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

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

    • Would love to get one of those kits!

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

    • Hey Syd and Ryan,

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

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

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

      Cheers,
      Mark

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

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

    • Freedom

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

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

    • great show guys!

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

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

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

      Have a great Tuesday! laters!

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

        lets just home they pull it together sooner than later…

        ok, laters, for real this time.

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

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

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

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

    • Thats one Gyantastic Episode

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

    • Give me Freedom!

    • freedom !!

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • That RG 00 quanta look nice

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

    • ONE PUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN…………..CH

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

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

    • Gyan Revive Hype!

    • Nice

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

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

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

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

    • DIBBBBBBSBSBSS

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

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

    • GIMME FREEDOMEEEE!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • That liger.

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

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

    • please syd lemme win!!!

    • nice Gyan family 🙂

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

    • This episode was excellGyant!

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

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

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

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

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

      Yikes.. 2 freedom..
      Want

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

    • Double Freedoms all the way across the sky!!

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

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

    • Dat Quanta thou ….
      makes me salivate <3

    • that liger looks awesome but those freedoms are amazing 🙂

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

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

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

    • FREEDOM! Times 2

    • Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju…

      Here! TAKE MY MONIES!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • I wish I could go to meet you guys…

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

    • I need some freedom…

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

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

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

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

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

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

      They definitely did a phenomenal job with it.

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

    • New top gear sucks .. :,(

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

    • Hey! That’s pretty good!

    • Splendid episode as always!!!

    • Good ep and review of rg qan t

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

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

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

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

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

    • RG sinanju???!?!?!?!?

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

    • That Liger is looking goooooooooooood!!!!

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

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

    • Love the Gyans!

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

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

    • #Gyang

    • Dear syd,ryan and todd.. Thank you for making gunpla tv happen. I Enjoy every episode and has been a fan for a long time. I just wish you can also come to our country for expos or anime events. Wish i could meet you all. Keep it up. You inspire us to inspire others

      • By the way .. when you were building in live stream then todd suggested a perfect grade ball joke… he just read my message.. and i was flattered that he noticed it.. dont blame him syd hege more power to ur show more love andmore gunpla to us all

    • Gyanko would shed a tear!

    • Great Show Guys !
      Always a Gyantastic Good Time!!!!

    • Oh my double the freedom

    • Man I wish I could go to anime expo 🙁

    • good episode

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

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

    • DynamoJoe, you da real MVP!

    • Great show, wish I could go to expo…

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

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

    • I feel like I need to comment aGyan lol

    • It’s the Gyan-pocalypse!

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

    • Double freedom!

    • Is it Gyantastic or Qantastic? 🙂

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

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

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

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

      freeeeeeeeeeedom

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

    • How many kits are too many…

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

      For Freedom for Justice for DESTINY!

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

    • kool ep guys

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

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

    • can I have some freedom, please? 😀

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

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

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

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

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

    • The rg sinanju hype is real!!!!

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

    • RAGE ON GUNPLA!!!!

    • great show guys. 🙂

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

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

    • Awesome episode.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • Gunpla is FREEDOM!!!!

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

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

    • Aw yis

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years ago

    Bandai just released the newest kit in the Real Grade line, the 1/144 RG GNT-0000 00 QAN[T] and Gunpla TV couldn’t wait to show it to you and lo and behold we brought it to you in a Live Event.

    Seems like we’ve waited a while for another RG from 00 and finally it’s here! The RG Qan[T] is a fan favourite and now gets the Real Grade treatment. Here we unbox the newest kit for all to see!

    • esc1a replied 8 years ago

      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

    • Sev replied 8 years ago

      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…

    • Tayza replied 8 years ago

      Can’t wait to see the Gyan and Zaku in the next episode. Sieg Zeon!

    • BNuts replied 8 years ago

      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.

    • Wieda replied 8 years ago

      The new ibo Gundam looks awesome

    • Nick replied 8 years ago

      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.

    • shika replied 8 years ago

      will you do a live build of new figurise dbz?

    • PM replied 8 years ago

      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!!!

      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!

    • Karyu replied 8 years ago

      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.

    • raime replied 8 years ago

      HEATO! METALO! may you always build GunplaTV!

      Great show. Thanks. Wow, an hour long.. nice.
      Can’t wait for the RG Sinanju….

    • KAMEN RIDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    • Epang replied 8 years ago

      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!

    • popoy replied 8 years ago

      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

    • 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

    • MG Freedom 2.0 It’s cool. But I don’t think I am going to buy it. Thanks for the review 😀

    • Love the look of the Freedom 2.0, keep up the awesome work guys!

    • no wonder the freedom is one of the most popular gundam. it always stands out with other gundams..

    • Strike Freedom 2.0 next?

    • 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!!!

    • IPod replied 8 years ago

      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…

    • For freedoooooom!

    • As they say Freedom isn’t Free, but those Gunpla at the end are and I am aiming to win! BWahahaha!

    • so did i win?

    • popoy replied 8 years ago

      nice guys! building my 2.0 freedom now.. gunpla is freedom! play the song freedom by pharell williams while building my kit.

    • i hope they make a rg exia dark matter and re amazing exia

    • 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

    • No doubt Freedom 2.0 is the best looking one so far. And the build is certainly unique. I must have it!

    • DL76 replied 8 years ago

      Congratulations Ryan,I imagine your kids will probably be 13 by the 3.0 Freedom comes out lol.

    • 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?

    • Two thumbs up and congratulations to Ryan!

      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! 🙂

    • CONGRATULATIONS RYAN!

      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!

    • Loved the review guys. I’m dying to get mine in the mail any day now. Freedom!

    • 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.

    • i have my freedom 2.0 shipped last week so i cant wait to get mine 🙂

    • Bara replied 8 years ago

      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 ?

    • Red Bull was first introduced in 1987

    • love the show guys! keep up the good work!

    • 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

    • Freedom v2.0 is so cool can’t wait for my to come and start building it

    • 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.

    • Great stuff as always guys! And congrats to Ryan!

    • 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!

    • Praise the Emperor!
      And for the Nth time: Hope I win ^^

    • Can’t wait for the shizuoka hobbyshow.. And the Zaku 3.0 its not just a rumor it’s a need. Do you hear me Bandai? We need it like air, water and food!

    • esc1a replied 8 years ago

      Congrats to Ryan!! Nice review on Freedom 2.0 !!

    • Epang replied 8 years ago

      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.

    • Freedom 2.0 looks sick!! Waiting on an RE/100 Kshatriya!! BANDAI JUST MAKE ONE ALREADY!!

    • Hi Guys,

      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.

    • The V-fin of the 2.0 is way too long. I like the extra details on the kit though.

    • Love the on screen comparison!! Great job!

    • I need that 2.0 kit. been waiting for it ever since it was first announced @.@

    • BME84 replied 8 years ago

      Gunpla is Freedom! Gunpla is Justice, where’s the MG justice!?

    • Rafi replied 8 years ago

      Very nice! Too bad I’m not into MGs (though the Sazabi and Nu may convert me yet…). I intend to get the RG at some point. 🙂

    • Freedom!!!

    • 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.

    • Grats Ryan,
      great show looking forward to the next one!!

    • 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

    • Strike Freedom 2.0 When?

      I would really like to see more AOZ kits tho 🙂

    • Where’s the Wallace references 🙁

    • eXia replied 8 years ago

      FINALLY!!!! Nice comparison for both gunplas. Can’t wait to build that kit!

    • Happy to see that my comment got read! Thanks guys!

    • BNuts replied 8 years ago

      Congrats, Ryan!

      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.

      • I think the best on tested are Adams on day builds.
        Haha and whats with Hasselhofs “looking for freedom”

    • goin to buy these 2 now

    • more 2.o kits plz

    • WizR replied 8 years ago

      the kings of the pun ..

    • The Freedom is sexy. I am finishing up the RG version and love it. The 2.0 looks sweet.

    • Japanese band Homemade Kazoku got Song called Freedom 🙂

    • la k replied 8 years ago

      I wish the 2.0 has the same gold wing sticker as the RG Freedom

    • the freedom look so sexy. want it. ^_^

    • somehow im not a fan of Freedom. Looking forward for the next RE100 tho

    • I want to have RG Sinanju… Thanks guys for the awesome gunpla videos.

    • AX2016 Los Angeles Ca

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years, 1 month ago

    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 […]

    • Great Show hope i won the denial gundam

    • love the show keep up the good work!

    • Great episode guy ^^.
      I want that guntank

    • Gyan revive soon?

    • denial is fine but i prefer the guntank :). Loving the grimgerde, when i first saw it introduced to us for the first time, i was like, this is really cool,yeah they’re gonna make a 1/100 soon, i just have to wait

    • Where’s the masterpiece shield liger, show me its glory Sid

    • Great episode guys, think that bandai will release some of the other kits from thunderbolt? Such as the gouf from the side story?

    • Ordered the 1/100 Grimgerde last week, looks like I got a lot to look forward too!

    • I could really use that Denial Gundam. I have the Cathedral Gundam (it’s what the Denial is based on), and I would love to put the effect parts on it.

    • Great episode that 1/100 Grimgerde looks sick, I had kitbash ideas for the Denial gundam, and the Guntank. Really hoping I win one.

    • both 1/100 kit look really nice.

    • That guntank looks sick!

    • Cannot wait for the hobby show of gunpla releases

    • Double Congrats to Ryan….

      I was really anxious to see Syd’s build: MG Gundam Freedom ver 2.0 this week…
      well here goes another week of my anxious anticipation…. hehehe…

      cheers guys & (Todd too 🙂 )…Great Show!!!

    • 1/100 Blue Destiny Unit 1 when? Efreet needs somebody to fight. Why, Bandai? WHYYYYYYYYYYY? They always leave these huge, obvious gaps in their lineups.

    • Other than the thunderbolt Master grade is any one else excited to see a Real grade sinanju? Cause I’m waiting patience for it to be announced.

    • Junyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • The Efreet looks awesome, and I can’t wait to see the RE Kshatriya

    • gimme some!!!

    • Dear wallet, please be fat and not flat again ahahaha! I’m waiting for it BandaIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, BF/BFT MGs XD

    • Can’t wait for your review of the Freedom 2.0, I’ve been hearing good things about it.

      And if there is a Zaku 3.0, Bandai shut up and take my money.

    • Great episode… can I win any of the kits? I never win anything … so, it would be nice if I finally get to win something…

    • Hnnng, that Grimgerde looks so good.

    • You know what they say, “Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, it’s also a Gundam.” :p

    • just give us the 3.0 char !!

    • Have you heard of and do you like the Mythbusters? They have a Youtube channel group Called Tested and they’ve been talking about building a couple Gunpla Kits.

    • tfw u in denial the denial is undeniably sleek af

    • I want the Denial for my kitbash project!!!

    • 200 and still running. Good job guys, keep it up!

    • dont deny me that gundam… 😀

    • Todd can we get a sieg zeon from you!?

    • Great episode Guys and Congrat to Ryan for the Twins

    • dat rabbit gunpla thou

    • The RE/100 Efreet makes me sad because it’s another RE kit that has those crappy HG hands. They gave the Nightingale the emotion manipulator hands(which they aren’t using enough of in MG kits), so why not the other REs? Make it happen Bandai, right meow!

    • Wasn’t expecting to be picked! Action base and a whole lot a extra parts for scratch building and kit bashing. I am pleased. Thanks guys!

    • RE Efreet looks pretty good

    • I have a denial gundam already, and it was the first kit i painted up. It wasn’t up to my standards. Hope i get that denial so i can “try” again.

    • scooby dooby dooooo!

    • A bit disappointed that I didn’t win the Rinascita. Oh well, there’s always next time.

      That Efreet looks awesome, it’s a bit of a shame that it’s articulation isn’t great, but at least it still looks cool. Hoping that I get that Guntank, the denial is cool too I guess. XP

    • That Efreet looks sick!

    • That MG Psyco Zaku is going to be insane!

    • Swaggy episode! Hoping to win the Denial Gundam or gun tank.

    • ” I heard that about you” LMAO!!!!!!!

    • i need at least two Efreet. one normal and one nacht. that Grimgerde is amazing. please let me win my Guntank!!

    • I wish i could win that Denial Gundam

    • Jegan HOW ARE YOU?!

    • I already own that Guntank so I hope that I could win that Denial Gundam

    • Hype

    • can’t wait for the MG ‘murica 2.0 review, details look good and I’m expecting that it would be as good as the mg rx-78 origin on a mechanical aspect

    • First Last comment win win . HLJ thanks for the vids

    • 1/100 Grimgerde !!!!!!!!!

    • The Grimgerde and Efreet look fantastic. Can’t wait for the RG Quanta that will come out this month too!

    • I wonder if you guys will stream/ build the RG Qan[T] when it comes out, I can’t wait to get it. Also I’m in Denial about winning this time but I Gun-Tank you anyways for the opportunity.

    • i would very much enjoy more updated kits like the hyaku shiki. I hope see a double zeta, how amazing would that be. P-bandai full armor set.

    • i see that you did a comparison of the Gouf r35 and the gouf revive, but Tod can you do a comparison with the gouf custom (http://hlj.com/product/BAN965503/Gun) articulation i think it is obsolete, it on look, in my opinion it look better then all. Great episode and thank you for the reviews

    • That Efreet and Grimgerde…
      Especially the Grimgerde, That is one of the most awesome Frame in the IBO
      Efreet however, seems to be short of long-range weapon there

    • DAT GRIMGERDE THOUGH…

    • what kind of turbo nerd complains about free kits, built or not.

    • Can’t wait for the live show!! But I don’t think we really need a 3.0 zaku… the 2.0 is tough to beat

    • THAT GRIMGERDE IS SICK! Great show guys!

    • Awesome episode guys!!! Love the design of the efreet custom!!! Love to win the guntank as i do not have any kits from origin.

    • Cant wait to see that sexy sexy freedom 2.0 to be finished and nice review, Really love the look of the Efreet

    • The Grimgerde is like a cool bad ass looking rabbit awesome !
      i hope more thunderbolt ver of gunpla comes out they are all nice

    • AWesome kits ..YES MG RX 78 Full thuderbolt ver ka

    • i’d like to see a review of any p-bandai kits.

    • can’t wait for the MG 1/100 Full Armor Gundam Thunderbolt Ver. Ka ..its gonna be an awesome kit..

    • gimme sumthing

    • Looks like I need to ship my Grimgerde and Efreet now rather than waiting for the Revive Gyan and Origin Zaku I…

    • Wow I thought the Efreet was gonna be kinda plain but it looks awesome. Im pretty much a MG/PG guy but it kinda makes me want to take a second look at the RE/100 kits.

      Also my Ver KA Ball came today from HLJ! Time to customize it into something crazy!

    • my fingers are crossed for a PG char z’gok.

    • Guntank sounds kinda dumb, all tanks come with guns by default dont they?

    • Efreet custom and Grimgerde look sick!

      Looking forward MG Psyco Zaku and FA-78 ver ka, they would be amazing together!

    • I just want that Denial Gundam! GIMME GIMME GIMME!

    • I can’t deny I would love to win a kit )
      great show

    • well i was hoping to see the mg freedom 2.0 on this week episode 🙁

    • All these new gunpla are going to hurt my wallet

    • that guntank is beautiful

    • that denial and guntank is awesome and amazing! 🙂

    • Can’t wait for the Shizuoka report! 🙂

    • can’t wait for the mg freedom 2.0, that guntak tho is so beautiful <3, i'm hoping to win a kit, and still a great episode guys keep up the good work 🙂

    • Another great episode!

    • Great work as usual! Wish the Efreet had a few more accessories but what it does get looks amazing, I might just have to buy one.

    • Starting to miss Ryan…

    • Awesome episode guys!!! Love to win the kits!

    • Still waiting for that 3.0 zaku2, wish that efreet was an MG

    • I will be in denial if i dont win one of those kits lol great show guys

    • Great show guys! The 1/100 Grimgerde looks good! Here’s hoping I win one of them 😀

    • just give me anything
      anythingggggggg!!!!!!

    • The Efreet has sorta grown on me since they announced it. And I never made the connection between Final Fantasy’s Ifrit (in the English translations) and Efreet!

    • Congrats to Ryan and another great episode. I was waiting for someone would make a Thunderbird reference and it came on smooth. The Shizuoka Hobby Show, what model kits that Bandai and other companies are coming out, I can’t wait? Just for now, I am waiting for the Iron Blooded Orphan’s Gundam Astaroth to be release and you guys doing a review on it. As always keep up the good work and stay awesome!

    • Is your twin also into Gunpla? I’m trying to get my twin into Gunpla, but he doesn’t really have the time nor the patience for it.

    • I fell in love with that 1/100 Efreet from the moment it was announced. Man is that thing sexy.

    • A full tank of freedom.

    • I love gunplatv!!!

    • Great episode guys. I could say something else but im 2 lazy.

    • I want to see them automate an entire kit with that robotic leg tech they showed off last year.

    • Hahah, an episode is always better with a bit more Todd =D

      Really hoping to get the Denial if I get any of them, I already have the Try Burning Gundam and it would be fantastic to make a scene with them! Sorry Guntank, I was just never really that into you…

    • I still remember the SEXY grandaddy gundam.

    • Man, the Gouf R35 has a such a cool design. I think it’ll become the gateway into Zaku-style mechas for me. Welp, I figure I need to save up another 1275 yen then.

      Oh and if I’m selected, I’d appreciate the Denial. Unless the other person wants it since I have one, but my dog shredded my box for it which kills my collector’s soul and I don’t think I’ll ever repurchase the denial just for the box. It’s a great kit and all but I don’t think I’ll use any of it’s parts for any custom models, so it’d be a waste of prime nihon plastic.

    • cool ep guys i figured the new gouf would reuse the r35

    • love that efreet box art! gonna get the tunderbolt ver. ka for sure when it comes xD

    • It would be awesome to with that Origin kit!!!

      Also do you think they will ever make an MG Leo or Aries from the Gundam Wing series? I think it would be a cool addition.

      • Leo is on the list of likely RE100s coming up. That’s probably the best we’re ever going to get. They’ve came through with the Efreet, so maybe we’ll get all of the suits in that one promo picture. If they go in order that they placed the suits on that picture, the next one will be GM Sniper II or Xi.

    • I love the original Zeonframes and I would lineup for a new MG Zaku V3.0 for sure. The last great was the Geara Doga. I am often looking at hlj to find the Zaku-type-kit of my choice, but they are all kind of aged.
      Actually how outdated is the PG Zaku, since BANDAI went a long way of developement since it came out?
      I not intend to build the same Gundam over and over again and end up with 10 different Zaku-II, or different types, wich are almost the same with just another weaponpack. But i absolutly have to have one.

    • Great episode guys, might be my imagineation but the Grimgerde kind of reminds me of the Enact from Gundam OO :p

    • I thought that Shizouka was during the last weekend of May so unfortunately I arranged my trip to Tokyo on the wrong dates, just missing the event so I’m really looking forward to your broadcast. In the mean time I hope that I can win the gun tank ^_^

    • Oh my sweet Gundam, I can’t believe I missed the pictures of the FA Gundam Ver Ka. Thanks for reminding me! 😀

      Great episode guys!

    • I’m definitely with Tedd on the Barbatos design, I was quite disappointed when they did that countdown teaser thing.

    • Everybody is dreaming and talking about the Char’s Zaku II 3.0 while I’m here wishing and waiting that Bandai may gave us Z’Gok 2.0!!!

      Come on please! Z’Gok 2.0! or even an RG GP02!!

    • Great show!!

    • Hi guys! Thanks for this episode but really looking forward for the next one to see the review of the new Freedom:-) The Efreet in now listed in my shopping list, really looks like a great kit. Will definitely get it! Thanks again guys.

    • Ein Ein Ein

      Also, I really liked the Gouf R35, so I might get the Gouf Revive. The two different shades of blue is more noticeable on the Revive.

    • guntank origin vs guntank tv

    • I love the design of the Guntank origin ver. and the Grimgerde looks really nice

    • That Denial Gundam is pretty sexy! (Still wishing for an MG Build Burning though…)

    • …still waiting on that RG Gouf
      …Pumped for ‘The Shiz’
      …Origin Guntank plz!

      ..Another fine episode as always!

    • Hi guys,
      Great show thanks. Personally, I like the Gouf R35. Way much cooler than the revive and has 2 shields. Just for you Syd, I made a Canadian version of the Gouf R35 posted on the site. Just don’t know if you’ll be able to see it or not.

      If I win, may I ask for the RX-78-2 Revive poster behind your seat instead? I really wish to have the RX-78-2 poster.
      Thanks.
      Bob

    • nice !!!

    • Man, that Grimgerde is easily one of my new favorite mobile suits. and you keep asking for a MG Char’s Zaku 2 3.0, I’m still waiting for a MG Justice! C’mon Bandai! We have two MG Freedoms now! Please!!?

      Also, hope I win either of those kits, they look awesome! Love you guys, keep up the great work <3

    • THAT guntank!!

    • *Efreet Intensifies*

    • Great episode guys! I would love to win any of those kits, especially the MG!

    • Classic Guntank!
      Hope to see more MG FA photos soon.
      Wonder what’s next for mg. I really hope they will finish the assault mode for v2 ver.ka
      Without the armour is just not feels complete 🙁 they have it for hg, why can’t mg?

    • Syd, Tod it’s all good of you just give method grmgerede! I don’t need anything else. Mmmm the stiffness

    • Any news regarding the next rg? I’m hoping it’s unicorn and then banshee

    • cool

    • Dear HLJ,

      Great review as always. What kind of expectations do you have for the upcoming RE/100 Kshatriya in terms of articulation and gimmicks? An awesome review would be to compare it with the HGUC version!

    • Efreet vs Grimgerde. The Ultimate Sword-Off!

    • MG psycho zaku. More bazookas

    • Oh poor Ryan, his life his over. Ahah!

      • Better kid proof all his stuff, this hobby is one big choking hazard for kids.

    • we want the 1/100 graze ein!!!!!

    • hi guys is me writing to you hlj , i queries about how the lack of race diversity in your company
      when i look through you 200 episode and other episode,my question is do there have orther race that work in your company .we should show how diversity that people that play gunpla not just european or white people
      that is my concern

      • Hi, and thanks for the comment! As we are located in Japan, the majority of our staff is Japanese. Gunpla TV, however, is an English-language program, and so is produced by our English speaking staff.

    • Nice

    • Digging all the zeek love from bandai lately

    • Will we ever get an RG GM?

    • thank you, just thank you..

    • Great episode! The Grimgerde looks so cool, and so knight-like with the head-fins, keep up the great work guys 🙂

    • Lets go MG FA gundam and psycho zaku !!!

    • Cann’t wait to get a grimgerde, it looks awesome. I am a. It concerned with the thunderbolt full armor gundam, though. The preview shots do not have the joint coverings on the elbows and knees. I thought that was what makes this version different from the regular full armor. Hopefully they will appear on the model when it is revealed at the hobby show later this month.

    • That Efreet is looking better and better everytime I look at it. Here’s hoping they keep churning out these awesome RE/100’s!

    • I watched it and I still don’t know if I want Grimgerde or Efreet!
      AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    • Denial is not just a river in egypt.

    • cjb19 replied 8 years ago

      nice

    • Wölf replied 8 years ago

      The Efreet Is looking real nice, I hope to see more REs from Bandai. Bandai if you are reading Please and Thank you.

    • So, can you convert the R35 into a normal Gouf?

    • Thank you for making all the videos!

    • Congratulations to Ryan! I might need to get me those two Goufs now.

    • Looking forward to the Master Grade Full Armor Gundam from Gundam Thunderbolt

    • Bara replied 8 years ago

      just watched the Guntank in action in the origins movie.
      Young Casval (Char) sure got some balls. like, you will never be as badass as Casval owning 4 Guntanks while holding his sister on his lap.
      Tell me how to get high on gundam guys, just like Todd.. Do I have to work in the same kind of place like HLJ to get as high as Todd ?
      JK 😀
      Hope I win some kit :p

    • Hoping they make an RE Kshaytriya :/

    • Great episode guys! Very excited about the MG Thunderbolt rx-78 full armor. I hope too win the hg denial gundam,I have been wanting that one for a while.

    • i hope to see the RE Kshaytriya!!!

    • Beork replied 8 years ago

      Love the efreet, hope they’ll do some more kits like Kshaytriya, or some of the weirder Zeta designs

    • Nice episode guys but somehow sad without Ryan (congratz on twins!). I hope he will be back soon and I’m looking forward to see new stuff shown at Shizuoka Hobby Show! 😀

    • The Grimgerde is very nice! The Efreet doesn’t appeal to me that much.

      To have a Guntank, yes please!
      To have a second Denial Gundam? Sure!

      Great episode to look forward to… A double dose of Freedom!

      I hope to win the giveaway.

    • scid replied 8 years ago

      I wonder what would be at shizuoka..hopefully more Zeon MG.

    • GIVE ME GUNPLA…. hi everyone at HLJ you’re all awesome!!!

    • Hey Ryan, Syd and Todd, thanks for all the great shows you’ve done so far, especially the grade explanation ones as they helped me pick out my first gunpla kits, the HG Barbatos and Gusion Rebake. Sadly they weren’t from HLG, but after a bit of research its clear that not only do you have a great reputation, but you guys are cheaper overall than anyone else I can find for the UK, so all my orders will be with you guys from now on.

      Just got 2 questions for you guys and the community, for my next lot of kits I’d like to do a top coat and panel wash, I know Ryan really likes his enamel panel wash, but I was wondering if acrylic paint would work just as well if watered down enough, and if it does work which gives the better effect, enamel or acrylic?

      And probably more for Syd and Todd, for my next lot of gunpla I’ve decided to go with a few kits from the 00 line, so I was thinking the Exia and the 00 Raiser in HG…But they do come in RG…the price is good and they look doable with my skills…and I really do like the look of the RG QuanT…is it worth jumping from HG to RG if you are confident in your skills to do it?

      Also send my thanks to Brian from Boss Builds, he managed to answer the question I was struggling with on how to layer different types of paints/top coats on ep4 of boss builds, I had been struggling with that for days!

    • Great episode as always, looking at the Grimgerde it seems like its too stocky? or just not thin and ‘sharp’ enough, either way cant wait for next time.

      U guys are amazing keep it up

    • The Denial’s going to be awesome. Great job people!

    • me?

    • Great Episode guys, at the moment I’m in the middle of building my first PG, the red frame astray. It will look awesome once finished. Would be great if they announce a zaku II char version 3.0, but maybe there might be more 2.0 kits as there are a lot of them that need an upgrade.

      Great, now I have to decide between the HG and 1/100 Grimgerde.

      I’m also looking at the Gundam the Origin as my 1st MG, even though it’s slightly more expensive than the Freedom 2.0. I just love those accessories and gimmicks, and I don’t have a representation of the Gundam yet.

    • No one’s gonna comment on the fact that Syd has a twin?????

    • eXia replied 8 years ago

      Congratulations to Ryan! times two!

      Really love the look of the Grimgerde though. Also hoping for a MG Freedom 2.0 review soon!

    • Great episode! The 1/100 Grimgerede looks very slick and probably they’re setting a higher standard for other ibo 1/100 kits starting with this

    • I’ll be in denial if if I don’t get the guntank

    • Oh I already knew about the RG kits (although I had hoped the Qan[t] would be release near the beginning of the month), my question was whether it would be worth making the jump from having only done 2 HG kits, to doing 3 RGs. I’ve actually already gone an ordered the Exia and 00 Raiser in RG and preordered QanT, but thanks for replying anyway.

    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.

    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 […]

  • Syd wrote a new post 8 years, 1 month ago

    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 […]

    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 […]

    • Yeaaaaah Buddy!!!! 200!!! Congratulations Guys!!!

    • it’s here!!!

    • 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! 🙂

    • Congratsss HLJ.. Kudos….More Power.. MOre Sales… 🙂

    • congratz on episode 200!!!

    • Congratz! Finally episode 200!

    • Great episode and congratulations!!

    • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      *Confetti falls from the sky*

    • Awesome episode 200! Congrats guys!

    • Congratulations to the entire team and the lucky winners

    • Awesome ep 200 I didn’t win but atleast I tried till ep 201 PPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEAAAAACCCCEEEEE!!!!!!!

    • w00t! Number 200 😀 Congrats to all the winners!

    • I laughed at the tea party. Sadly I didn’t win but grats to those that did.

    • I’m not mad at Tod (I was 950)… Grats on 200 and beyond.

    • Congratulations!! yaaay happy 200th!!

    • Find it weird that all the 2 digits number and 1 digit number didn’t win
      But then, can’t feel bad about it
      Since this is by pure luck

    • Congrats on ep 200. And congrats to all the winners.
      Canada represent… nice pjs Syd.

    • Dammit, Todd! None of them were me!!! Better luck next time, I guess

      Congratulations on 200! Here’s to the next 200

      Except you, Todd. I’m feeding you to the fluffy bunnies!

    • FINALLY a competition is coming

    • We all wineed. Still going 200 episodes later. 2 seconds…

      Todd didn’t pull my number. I don’t like Todd anymore. Well, maybe. Yes. Not really. 2 seconds…

      Congrats to the winners, hopefully we get to see what they have done with their winnings. 2 seconds…

      To many more guys, I’m sure all of us are looking forward to more Gunpla TV in earnest.

      2 seconds…

    • Great job on the video I cant wait to see more episodes in the future

    • We’ve gone so far…it makes me want to shed tears of joy…

      “I don’t trust anyone who never cries. That’s my philosophy.”

    • I’ve been watching since episode 1 and have been keeping up ever since. Great show, great job and keep it up guys!

    • congrats!

    • Here is for another 200 episodes.

      PS. Am i the only one who calls it episode 200 “All the Ryan hair styles”?

    • Tod’s scene in the warehouse made me jump!

    • Give me 2 seconds.

      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.

      Thanks a lot to those who made the show possible!

    • congrats on the 200!!! keep on trucking

    • Congratz on the 200 episode!!! You guys are great!

    • Congratulations on 200 episodes guys. Sad I missed out on the giveaway, but always happy to see more of you all doing what you do.

    • Congratz. Eps. 200 !!!

    • Congrats on 200, would really like to see an episode on some of the old first gundam/MSV kits.

    • Episode 200, Congratulations!
      It was hyped and it delivered with all the shenanigans.

    • Congrats Hobbylink TV!!! More episodes to come!

    • 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 show wish I had one of the lucky numbers

    • 200, what a milestone, and also 974 contest entrants (those’re loooooooong odds)! Congratulations! Excellent work and keep it up.

      Nice selection of prizes. I don’t have any of those kits… yet. I’d have been happy with any of them. Congrats to the winners.

      Josh, excellent art. Considering doing it professionally, or doing cartoons?

    • 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!

    • Congratz for the 200 episode , that was fun. Keep up the good works brooooos.

    • Hey awesome show guys can’t wait for 300,400 and 500. See you guys 201!!!! And congrats to the winners!

    • 200 eps and still going strong!

    • Congrats Hobbylink TV.

    • Congrats Guys
      Sadly i was close to the No.1 my No. was 601 hahaha but honestly thanks hobbylink

    • Congratulations! It’s so wonderful to finally see you guys reach 200 episodes, been watching since around 90 or so.

    • Congratulation for the 200th episodes. Good to see Cid and Todd getting along together nicely 😀

    • Man Josh’s kits and artwork are awesome! Congrats on the big 2-0-0 also guys!

    • 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!

    • Congrats!! Great episode.
      BTW Which one is Syd, which one is Ryan? And who’s Todd again?

    • 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.

    • Congratulations on Episode 200!

    • All those skits

    • Nice work guys!

    • Great episode and congratulations!!

      200 200 200 200 200 200 200!!!!

    • Congratulations Hobbylink TV and to the winners! 2 seconds v(。・・。)

    • 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.

      • Forgot to add…. Keep up the good work.

      • 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!

    • why for my comment not show? Does it require vetting before showing up?

    • Maybe it was the image.

      Re edit minus image.

      2 Seconds.

      Congratulations on reaching the big 200.

      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…

      May GunplaTV reign Supreme!!!

    • Congrats guys! Thanks for making the show. Too bad I didn’t win….

    • 2 seconds…

      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!
