@@zensure because the MP1 mold is starting to get old now (almost 12 years), it's more important than ever to cut the parts from the runner in a precise way to minimize stress on the ball joints. In the future, cut the gates that are furthest out from the part (closest to the runner) first, and then work your way in.

Thankfully once the armor was on, none of it could be seen. IMO there's nothing perfect grade about this kit except in name only. If one with some modeling skills sticks with it, it does build into a nice looking kit.

@blakequattrone6794 2 ай бұрын
Detailed internals can be neat, but often those details only get noticed once during the build and are never really seen again. Personally I respect a solid kit more than a pretty hand grenade. Jegan was my first MG, and to this day it's still my favorite because it's been absolutely rock solid. Hasn't shed a single part (even after almost 2 years of JoJo poses, a few falls and other shenanigans), and can hold nearly any pose it's put in with complete fortitude! I don't think Jegan or zaku gunner are bad MGs for being basic, they're just grunts after all. Mass production suits would also be by default less focused on details anyway.
@citrusjuicebox 2 ай бұрын
In your case, an HG would've sufficed. And that's basically all the MG Jegan is, which is still a disgrace to the rest of the MG brand. It's all about expectations. You know what else is rock solid? An actual rock. But if you only got a rock in the box when you meant to buy a model kit, you'd be pretty disappointed, wouldn't you? On the other hand, if I needed paving stones, and a bunch of some-assembly-required plastic bits came out of the bag, I'd be pretty annoyed.

I started to build it anyway after I realized what I actually had because I didn't want it to go to waste, and it was kinda garbage. Who saw that coming?!

Hey, Citrus! I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, but that old Xeku Zwei MRD prototype just recently re-appeared in a hobby magazine labeled under [PLANNING]; whatever that entails for the future. I was wondering if you could confirm if these MRD Sentinel toys are truly, or at least really close to 1:144. I'm sure you've mentioned it somewhere along this and the Ex-S video you made, but the MRD Advance of Z line seems to have scaled their releases about a head or a head and a half taller than their HGUC counterparts which make me a little weary of getting into this line as I'm a total scale obsessive. I've been enjoying your recent videos a lot! Hopefully you keep sharing your collections and life treats you well.
@citrusjuicebox 2 ай бұрын
I totally get where you're coming from! I'm the same way: relative scale is a huge decision-maker for me. I was pretty disappointed that the MRS Hazel was taller than my HGUC GM Quel, so I didn't buy anything else after MRS Woundwort. It's a shame I didn't take a picture with the HGUC Zeta Plus C1 when I still had it, but I just took this picture of the MRS Zeta Plus C1 next to the HGUC Zeta GEP and MRS Zeta for you instagram.com/p/C9kDS2Mp0D9/ I think the MRS Zeta Plus C1 is a tiny bit longer in the legs than it probably should be, but the overall feeling looks just about right to me. If you display your figures in the air, I don't think you'd notice the discrepancy at all. Overall, the MRS Ka Signature line seems to stick the 1/144 scale pretty closely.

Hah, that video also left a similar impact on me. I still remember 2Old4Toys being flabbergasted at the notion of "pre-ordering a model kit" lol. Personally, I won this kit from the 2015 mid-year gundam info campaign cards, so I probably received mine around the same time as you. It's in its box 10 feet away from me, unbuilt. While I love the Astray Red Frame, and I do prefer the PG's proportions over the MG and other newer takes, I'm kind of just really happy with the 2013 HG version with the flight unit. That's probably the definitive Astray kit for me, at least in terms of sculpt. My main complaint with it is the grey sword, but I recently gave it the sword from the Mighty Strike Freedom and am more or less satisfied with its presentation. I'll get around to this kit... eventually.

Oh! So the Mobile Suit Breakdown actually did some research on the Gabthley name back when they were covering Zeta Gundam. It seems most likely that they wanted to call it the Gadfly (representing Jerrid Messa being a pain in the ass), but the regular japanese spelling/pronounciation of the word Gadfly had already been used a few years before in Crusher Joe to name a vehicle. So they basically came up with an alternative spelling and went on ahead.
