Thanks for reviewing old kits. I just got into the hobby this year and I missed all these great kits.

[@speedstriker]

All those thrusters in the back in the MA mode looks really impressive. It's really easy to imagine the amount of acceleration this would have in space.

[@davidhill1408]

2023 and we're about to get 1 shipped out!

[@rx-0unicorngundam776]

After watching this review, I have an interesting idea for a custom involving the claw feet :) Great review as always!

[@kakarot197]

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Great to hear! =D

[@GPowtlaw2]

So glad i came and watched this - im currently building this guy and that trigger finger hand was driving me nuts!! Also props for your content and quality. Youve done extremely well to develop your style

[@Arrowdodger]

Was looking forward to this. I liked this mobile suit on Zeta, which is a show with some very out there designs in general, but this one seemed a little more practical than many

[@Arrowdodger]

Wait, hold the phone, 1600 yen?! Wow, what a bargain, if for no other reason than the included stand, but this is quite complex.

[@anzaca1]

All kits of transformable units come with a stand. For obvious reasons.

[@sefenvold]

Great review as always. I just completed this kit, the trigger hand drove me crazy >

[@alexelam1127]

Totally not expecting this, I always thought this kit was gonna be a static brick. pleasantly surprised. Question, is there enough room to work in a polycap in the fore arm? might give us some better options in the hand department.

[@Mecha82]

If I end up getting this it has good chance of becoming my favorite transforming HG kit.

[@nermb0t836]

love this suit

[@OverlordIX]

Glad to know im not the only one with the rifle hand issue. I ended up gluing the hand together and butchering the rifle slightly.

[@Boltscrap]

Can agree on the hand part. I have never been able to get him to hold his rifle by the trigger finger hand, it barely holds without anything in it!

[@hypershock0storm479]

I just recently got a hguc Hambrabi and it's holing hands share the same problems as the Gabthley's triger finger hand. Not to mention the arms seem to seperate a tiny bit when they're being handled with.

[@EliWSeiei]

Funny enough, Gabthley is officially the most stable transformation titan suit of all in cannon, as you said it is for its hg counterpart. This is why the Tr-6 Haze’-n-thley II based its transformation on it. Too bad the actual hg kit of Tr-6 Haze’-n-thley cant replicate the whole transformation.

[@MechaDump]

Actually you can, the builder set hands do comes with a set of smaller ball joints.

[@fauziramadhan296]

That is a good master piece

[@opsimathics]

you could try epoxy putty and sanding paper to readjust the balljoints in the rifle hands

[@robmcmuffin8453]

man! add some large translucent wings, chrome it out ,and you will have the Yar's revenge bug! love the alt mode for tthis kit!

[@jewilliams13jw]

I planned on doing a review of such on this kit...after I painted it

[@fauziramadhan296]

Any way you have pyshico gundam mk ii

[@xSkye629x]

Do you have the Palace Athene?

[@erinetteheigelweigel2698]

these hands can be used on a rg model??

[@GuntPulp]

Is this a Titans or a Jupitoris MS?

[@choopsdawhoops]

which advance of zeta kits are you referring to about the hand issues? I have the Hazel Custom and it wields everything just fine, although the gun it comes with really has no extensive stock or barrel and it locks right into the trigger finger

[@kakarot197]

Jimmy Jangles The Hazel hands seem to have very varying quality, even for the same kits. So you got lucky if your kit has no issues.

[@choopsdawhoops]

***** wow really? I love my Hazel Custom, it's one of the most solid HGUC kits I own. I was even thinking about getting the Advanced Hazel since I liked the Custom so much

[@saturationstation1446]

2:02 giggity ... lmao

[@DariusVladimirAuditore]

I wish Bandai would make more stands with storage for accessories.

[@yuyuhaio]

Damn… I want one.

[@onikagemaru104]

just built 1, and i agree about the trigger hands xD

[@CiroStrike105TV]

Like the look of the kit but it would be better off to paint those circle details instead of placing the stickers which looked kinda weird... well to me that is.

[@perreterecon]

For example these transformation in comparison with the gaza-c makes more sense, you can scare the shit of the enemy with that moth thing for, it freacks me out! ,,:(

[@Arrowdodger]

While I like this, if I get it, I'm stealing his rifle to give it to someone else. I don't trust those hands with much more than a beam saber. Which some of the hazels can barely do. at least the beam saber mode for it looks good, that would be okay then. He also might keep it in MA mode. That's actually a really good looking mobile armor mode.

[@michelfanda2030]

Gabthley is probably my least favourite Titans MS design. Suprisingly, the kit actually turned out better. Still not sure about picking this up in the future

[@johng9004]

thanks to you i just have two of them now hehehe!!

[@blacksolar212]

Oh yeah, I have the Hazel II and its saber hand is garbage, so I just glued it together

[@soramikami4383]

Okay, but could it even hardly move it's head in the anime?

[@OuroborosChoked]

Thank you for calling out that shitty gun hand. MASSIVE disappointment for an otherwise excellent kit.

[@ahedasukks]

That blinding intro is awful.
