I'll definitely try to grab this when I can, kits like this that are such a departure from the usual Gunpla I buy are very interesting to me.

Bought mine on an impulse when seen on sale at 25 euros, and almost forgot it till now... But after watching your review, it definitely gained a few places in the backlog queue! I too am a detailing junkie, and in that regard, it seems like a lot of fun...

I feel like the unique appearance of kits in this line was a double-edged sword. Sure, they're cool, but they're not exactly traditional so I'm not sure how much they appeal to most people who buy primarily gundam kits.

Love the review especially with the commentery while building the kit, totally temted now to get one for myself since theres stocks of them at my local shops. Also love the modification ya did on the monoeye of the kit. looking forward to more reviews like this!

Nice work! a good alternative to scraping excess paint, is wooden cocktail sticks they'll wear down first rather then damaging the plastic. I also use it sometimes to rub away dried panel liner in places

If you have built the Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice, why not build and paint the Saviour Gundam, the actual predecessor of those two? For obvious reasons, of course.

that ankle piece is a leftover part from the demi trainer runners in the demi barding kit

I build the kit a month ago, snapoed the peg on the torso when trying to separate it after cutting from the runner. Now my Rx78 will have core fighter permanently outside 😂

Nice review! Subs up!

I have been waiting for someone to do a review of this kit for ages. Nice to see it get some love, but the degradation of the water slides is a bummer. This makes me super nervous at the prospect for adding lighting when this kit comes up in my rotation.

Sadly a Kotobukiya kit. FORTUNATELY if you are experienced on the Kotobukiya Syndrome its not that bad to work with. AWESOMELY ITS STILL A VIRTUAL-ON KIT!!!

I'm a Yank so possibly I'm missing the reference to the bear? Could someone plz fill me in? I enjoyed watching this build. I got this mech as a toy when I was 7 and just got the Good Smile version, but would also like a 1/144

Love your channel man, the fact that you always show ways to improve builds and go beyond the snap build is a godsend honestly

Awesome! I love Xabungle, gonna try to grab the HG wheb I can.

An element begins with an R. Is used to see infrared need energy .what if its the red paint and methane increase power with velostat pressure radio wave Gundam sensor great toy thanks for sharing that

Be cool if Gundam cannon passed is an alarm for sensors movement Gundam toy lIke THE CONTINUUM SIC TV SHOW

NICE! I just started on my virtual on kits addiction as well altho its the Hasegawa kit just finished my Blue Heart Fei Yen rn moving onto Shadow Temjin

I used to play the FIRE out of this game at Pizza Inn back in the day. I mean spending a smooth $5 on the cabinet version per session lol

RG Hi Nu has been one of my favorite kits for a long time. I can never find a good enough pose to display it in, I always feel like there’s a better one I could put it into. I’ve had mine since 2021 and it is a fair bit looser than it was, as I’ve disassembled it multiple times just for fun. Eventually, I’ll buy a second one to paint or leave straight, have one painted and one untouched, as the straight built RG hi-Nu’s actually look really cool, without any decals or panel lining it looks really elegant.

I find myself hating ABS plastic more than loving it. It’s not accepting of paint or topcoat, prone to breaking, and makes peg or ball joints feel tight or overly slippery, and there’s no in between. This is a cool model though, I hope the VOLKS kit is better. And as for avoiding superglue for clear parts, Evergreen brand Canopy Glue works great for clear parts that must be glued and also for car and plane model windows/canopies, which are usually glued in. Canopy Glue is more non-permanent for polystyrene, it’s more akin to Elmer’s white or clear glue, which is a alternative that most people use (but Elmer’s is VERY prone to getting stuck and hardening inside its bottle, so I much prefer Canopy Glue). Also, I highly recommend investing in a pin vise and drill bit set so pinning joints is much easier! Great video, hoping to see more kit videos.

The Kotobukiya build horror stories continue. You did a lot of work just to fix the shoulders.

Is that Liam's sonic statue lmao

ive never bought a bandai robotech kit that was worth the amount i paid for it (despite them getting premium prices). there is ALWAYS some weak joint/joints, stickers i had to replace with waterslides, or really brittle plastic. id like to see motor nuclear or some other up and coming third party (NOT daban) take a crack it.. especially if they can make the transformation work without the proportions looking like ass.

This is just make me want a PG VF-1A/J/S

Good video, good build. I'm probably twice your age but only got into gunpla last year. First build was an out the box RG RX78-2. currently i'm painting up my camouflaged Zaku 1 sniper and have several RG, HG and MG waiting to do! Keep up the good quality videos.

Beautiful kit, still need to pick it up or the MG

This kit is surprisingly charming despite its age. Just needs some love to make it look real nice.

Moomin!

I've always been curious about Macross but not enough to track down any of the series. The kit looks interesting, though I know I wouldn't be nearly as patient with the stickers as you were.

So no more early rg syndrome for 00 then?

Very nice display for the finished build. Looks really nice with the decals applied

Does this kit come with a stand? Planning to buy it

Vindication for my purchase! Thank you! I'm super excited, granted P-Bandai says estimated release is July.

This was my first RG that I ever built (just this January). After I put it all together, I found out that is was not really the easiest build for a person's first RG. I can see why people say this. It looks great on the shelf as long as I don't try to pose it too much.

Excellent review!

I couldn't get the 00 Riser to slot into my RG 00 Gundam properly. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a QC issue with my individual kit, but I don't really mind since I prefer the base 00 and riser separately. Nice review. One of these days I'll be brave enough to learn how waterslides work.

I'm less professional on my builds, but I did at least color in the inside of the shoulder like yours. I hate the hands on this thing and used fun tacks to semi keep together. I really want the megabazooka launcher, but it's out of print for so long. I'm waiting on either p bandai re-release or the hyaku shiki combo.

Entertaining video with the build process!

Firstly. You realise the methuss is a space use only suit... So it's MA mode not having wings makes perfect sense since they're of no use out of atmosphere. If you like the methuss, the re-zel is it's big brother which takes design cues from much of its design along with the zeta and regz. Lastly, I will never understand why you poms can't pronounce th words and replace them with f or v sounds. Just sounds so dumb and uncultured. I know I know it's nitpicky and half of my people th front too (Australians) but they're all usually bogans and alcoholics. Anyway back to mobile suits.. I'm glad I've never put so much effort into a high grade. I'm most the way through building my delta kai which is an awesome looking little suit with a butt load of parts and more colour correcting stickers than I've ever used before.

Great vid

comment for interaction metrics, highly underrated channel  🙏🙏🙏

you deserve way more views, great vid!

I don't know why this particular build got recommended to me by the algorithm but I'm glad it was, very cool.

Sorry you broke your RG, though the manual doesn't say that the parts are supposed to "click in", the red arrows are just indications to take note about the part orientation. If it is suppsed to click in there's usually some kanji to indicate that.

Hey that was really cool, thanks for making this video.

What a great hobby room!!!!
