1/144 HGUC Delta Gundam Review

[@user-ir1xo9jp8w]

*Tries to use the Delta Gundam's chrome to find his face.*

[@perreterecon]

Was this video directed by J J Abrams? a ton of lens flares man

[@RayShadow278]

I gotta say, I really like the the shoulder armor of the Delta a lot more than that of the Delta Plus

[@failed_K]

Thing so shiny it creates its own Lensflares

[@hiruma4142]

You can see the fingerprints 3 times better on this one,maybe xD

[@hiruma4142]

Hmm...you can technically use the almost all the Delta Gundam's lower half for the Hyaku Shiki Revive. Take note, Bandai.

[@classicalthrasher]

Found this beautiful model kit for $44 USD locally today-I usually gravitate towards kit designs I am familiar with (have seen anime or played games with) but this is my first "design caught my eye" model I have. It still is theoretically possible that this could have existed in my favorite Gundam universe, so it is fine. Definitely looks better than the Delta Plus, IMHO. Will enjoy building it when I get the chance. :) Thanks for the years old review!

[@SirSaberDelux]

Fingerprints!!!!

[@leezyvans3335]

Sir Saber it's a feature

[@REmasteredSEED911]

Even though the Delta Gundam Kai is my favorite version of the Delta suits, this also caught my attention.

[@Mecha82]

It's so shiny that this review had plenty of lens flare.

[@xiaz5620]

Have you ever considered getting the Delta Kai? It's a badass mobile suit with and even bigger shield.

[@cesruhf2605]

super busy looking

[@CiroStrike105TV]

I might pick this one up just because of the gold coating. This kit could very well be made premium bandai unlike the Cathedral that has the plastic gold color on it which does not scream premium in any way possible.

[@kairellim5094]

On one hand, I really like the design of the Delta Gundam, both in MS and Waverider modes. It might even be one of my favorite Waveriders. On the other hand, I really do not like Golden Gundams, especially super shiny chrome gold. I dislike yellow/gold as a main color. Its just so gaudy. That being said the finish they used for Hyaku Shiki looks kinda nice. But I digress, did they ever release a non-shiny version of the Delta? I don't care if its a really ugly yellow as my plan is to paint it. I'd rather not spend the extra money for a chromed finish that I'm just going to sand down and paint over anyway.

[@kakarot197]

+KaiRellim509 Just be warned when buying a Hyaku Shiki however, the one I used in the comparison is the Gryphios War set triple pack version. The single release uses the same shiny coating as the Delta and the Hyper Mega Launcher pack has no coating and instead has a very unpleasant dark yellow color. The Delta only comes in a shiny format so far. The closest ones are the Delta Kai and Delta Plus =/

[@kairellim5094]

+Kakarot197 My bad, I didn't specify. MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0's finish looks nice, despite my general dislike of golden ms. Its unfortunate that the Delta only comes in gold chrome. I do like the Delta Kai and Delta plus, though I think the Kai's high mega launcher shield is a bit over the top. I'd honestly probably keep the Kai in wave rider form, which isn't something I normally do. Maybe I'll end up getting the Delta Plus. I'll have to watch some reviews on it.

[@hyperiongm330]

+Kakarot197 phenex is probably shinier when coated right, and in hg form or destroy mode in the mg, the shiny gold and blue psychoframe proly make it stand out more.

[@protozoalord]

I'd say that a kit that has a similar place in a collection would be the metallic coating version of the HGUC Nu Gundam.

[@TheArbiter1999]

Hey Kakarot! How did you get an HGUC Hyaku-Shiki with that nice MG 2.0 style finish? Do they offer a kit like that or did you make that yourself?

[@kakarot197]

+Adam Sun It's from the gryphios war set, a triple pack with the Gundam MK.II, Hyaku Shiki and Zeta Gundam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rminoZijpcqSja8

[@TheArbiter1999]

+Kakarot197 Thanks! I just wish it was sold on it's own, but that's better than not at all

[@Jetblast01]

That looks pretty sick. Feels like a mix of Hyaku Shiki and Zeta. I'm disappointed with the beam saber holding hands. But I always feel kinda sick because EVERY reviewer on these type of kits use their bare hands getting prints all over it. It just bugs me...otherwise, the review is pretty good. Anyone know a good way to protect that coating from chipping or rubbing off?

[@Bobert2020]

Topcoat? Oh apparently it ruins the finish. So uh... Put it in a glass case and never touch it

[@skyliner32gtr65]

Where did u pull the Gundam name out from ..Delta plus..or msn001A1 Or is it the new gold Delta plus shell made out of gundaniam?

[@glitchedmatrix55]

The delta gundam was the original concept for the hyaku shiki, but it was before they perfected the transformable frame, so they removed the waverider mode from it, suped it up, and dubbed it the hyaku shiki.

[@av_b3y0nd7]

Wait..... Did you paint it gold? Did it come as gold originally and was the gold stickers? DAMN IT! I was thinking if I should buy this or the Exia

[@sub0sandwich32]

Av_ B3Y0ND go with this 00 sucks balls

[@OverlordIX]

Where did you get the Federation cloth from? Or does it come with the kit as well?

[@raffaelepassarelli6444]

+OverlordIX go to HLJ website and look for EFSF Cleaner Clothfrom Cospa

[@9chard_kun]

what about delta gundam ii?

[@jordan_ys]

Does it come with extra stickers (the stickers that has the team logo like AEUG, OMNI, MS serial code sticker, some small writings, etc)?

[@NgocLinh-iv9cg]

4200 Yen for this common kit, really? I bought this from a shop in Singapore with just 15 SGD ~ 1300 Yen.

[@dianpratama6244]

yeah for HG... not worth except bling bling effect

[@fenn8636]

Dude that might be a daban model

[@NgocLinh-iv9cg]

​@@fenn8636 1. I have assembled both (in fact I used Daban v-fin part to fix my broken Bandai one),I can assure that the box & stuffs inside that I bought was Bandai. 2. Bandai runners has logo & Bandai name in it, Daban does not. 3. Box was on sale during Christmas. lots of old kits were real cheap during that tine.

[@fenn8636]

Ngọc Linh well your pretty lucky tbh i envy you

[@JMTeBOCK08]

so where did you get the second beam rifle from for the Wave Rider mode

[@gundam.]

Good review~! Glitter is a wonderful Gundam~^^

[@OuroborosChoked]

Mine, for whatever reason, *will not* hold the shield.

[@Arrowdodger]

Wait, what is the second beam rifle for? You say Delta Gundam twice. I like the looks, particularly in the transformed state, but too rich for my blood, unfortunately. Still really nice looking, but at that price, I do really wish they had thrown in a left holding hand.

[@hiruma4142]

+Arrowdodger It was the Delta Plus,maybe? Remember that he likes to unbox the Zaku twice xD

[@Neowattmk4]

+Hiruma Berserker *thrice

[@kakarot197]

+Arrowdodger Good catch, annotation added! It's indeed from the Delta Plus as +hiruma Berserker said.

[@Arrowdodger]

***** Cool that it works. Speaking of the Delta Plus, this one seems to justify its price more. The Delta Plus is pretty expensive for what you get.

[@dennisyin13]

can you use a red gundam maker on this thing lol

[@dol_mel7487]

Cowdude Stratos probably but its not the best decision

[@dennisyin13]

yeah :|

[@gundamman1761]

It’s hard for me to look at it has too much reflection great review tho

[@EbullientSMP]

... Where can I get that cloth...

[@kakarot197]

www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=CGD2-36171&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dfederation+cloth%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 pre-orders are currently closed, but I think they should get another batch in after that one.

[@RockValentine]

How tall is this?

[@chocobros1]

Hi, I've been a gundam fan for sometime now and I plan to start getting into gunpla soon (I'm waiting for my local comic con) I was hoping you would be able to recommend some beginner friendly models for me. I'm mostly a UC guy, but I also like Gundam Wing and Unicorn

[@kakarot197]

+chocobros1 What are some of your favorite machines? Then I'll say which ones are good to get.

[@chocobros1]

+Kakarot197 favourite machines, eh? Well thats a bit tricky for me, I mean I cant really think of any suits I DON'T like (aside from the guntank) If I really had to pick favourites though, I guess I could narrow it down to the original rx-78-2, All of the Zakus, and the Wing and Alex gundams. Thanks in advance

[@chocobros1]

+chocobros1 also unicorn

[@kakarot197]

+chocobros1 The old HGUC and the new HGUC RX-78-2 are both really nice kits(just don't get the G30). As for the Zakus, the Zaku I model kits are fantastic. They're cheap, easy to put together but still have very good articulation and some nice accessories. You can't go wrong with the High Mobility Types or the F2s either. The HGAW Wing Gundam is also a cool kit. Just make sure you're getting the HGAW and not the old NG =P The Unicorn Destroy kits might be a bit more of a challenge than the others, but you should be okay. The manuals are always very clear about what to do, even if you don't speak a word Japanese.

[@chocobros1]

+Kakarot197 Thanks a ton. I think I'll be getting a zaku II model for now because I just kind of like that design better, but other than that I think you just gave me a good list to start my collection. :D

[@idksomerandomchannel5959]

For me, I don't really mind getting fingerprints on chrome plating...

[@ridzuanshamsir2545]

Its daban or bandai

[@Bobert2020]

Bandai

[@gundamdragon]

With the 2 beam rifles it almost looks like wing zero

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

From OVA series? You sure about that? Or you mean the Unicorn MSV manga series.....

[@kakarot197]

+叶川ヒロ Nope, I wanted to say MSV series but somehow OVA slipped out. Annotation added!

[@scarletrain6757]

I was gonna say I never saw this in the series glad I saw this comment so I didn’t peating you

[@gelgoorx]

Idk man when I think about he hyuuki shiki I got for 14 bucks and the same gold plating it hurts my soul

[@rareegg1201]

Why don't we get anything with this kind of gold

[@djsuave_beats]

Hi I am from the future. Gundam Origin story with Char will be a thing.

[@frostyfrenchtoast]

I would play with that all day long

[@aliesterus1.023]

This thing is so shiny that I think I got blinded.

[@theblik1577]

SHINY

[@josdavas9101]

This is the hyaku shiki

[@sub0sandwich32]

I'll stick with my old fashioned hyaku shiki thank you very much XD

[@RicardoSantos-tk4qp]

If this guy wasnt even plan the hyaku shiki woundt even exist

[@joeyvenal7304]

Hyakushiki is that you?

[@leshie687]

Oh my I never knew Delta Gundam HG was released way back in 2012 I m so stupid.

[@birumerah2896]

do you apply a top coat on it ??

[@kakarot197]

Nope

[@sub0sandwich32]

Biru Merah if you don't apply top coat on every Gunpla I have no respect for you

[@robolord117]

I like the red color ver. of this kit because my favorite color is red

[@Raygraze]

That price HELL NO.

[@techsupport2765]

[@dianpratama6244]
