[@CrimsonRaptors]

I like the "No GMs were hurt in the making of this review." text in your description. =P

[@dotmitchens]

No Andys were killed during the filming of this review.

[@ernestorio3550]

Or neither does GM's to be exact..... The cold district one that is

[@sanguiniusonvacation1803]

ZeekMista not yet at least .

[@crabman3144]

It's kind of hard to believe that the HyGogg came from a machine my friends and I have affectionately dubbed "The Potato."

[@cheeseburger3881]

It indeed looks like a potato a very threatening potato

[@emperorkiva8063]

I love those classic desings, like this one or the Z'Gok. They look really old, but that only adds a charm to their desings

[@faizizz4062]

Why aren't we getting a Master Grade of this when we already have the Gogg, Z'Gok, and Acguy? Speaking of amphibious/marine mobile suits, I really want a MG Capule or a MG Zee Zulu.

[@a.p.studios8713]

Man at least a legit hg capule would be nice

[@Sturmdude]

The freakishly long arms and shoulders of the Hygogg make it menacing enough for me. Nice review.

[@kethtemplar8989]

I fell in love with the HyGogg from the moment i laid eyes upon it. I am a new builder who bought an RGyaGya. A zaku phantom. And my first was a RG char custom zakuii. I was stuck on wether i should buy ny first gundam or continue with the zeon MS' But the HyGogg got my heart XD

[@8bitrandomencounter]

This needs a master grade... NOW! lol

[@CrimsonRaptors]

The MSM-03C Hygogg not menacing? +Kakarot197 you need to shine a laser pointer at the mono-eye and then come back with a different answer, lol! Seriously, probably my all time favorite Marine Mobile Suit in the Universal Century.

[@kakarot197]

+CrimsonRaptors It's the model that's not as menacing, the machine itself is. That's the problem =P

[@wither5673]

mess with the crabbo you get the stabbo!!!

[@knuckles7790]

This needs a remaster. I wouldn't mind getting it, even if it's p-bandai.

[@Reshiram_The_Fire_Dragon]

I am happy i am getting this in 2 weeks

[@D.Snom.]

Out of all the amphibious mobile suit kits out there's which one would you say is your favorite cause for me it's the Hy-gogg

[@kakarot197]

+SINANJU Jeager hmmm, in UC, probably the Zaku Mariner or the Aqua GM. I also have an odd affection for the Juagg(it served me well in Gihren's Greed) My all time fave is the Forbidden Blue/Forbidden Vortex. The Forbidden was a cool design to begin with and the Forbidden Blue added some nice touches like a trident and that tail.

[@CarolusMagnus2501]

+Kakarot197 The SEED Destiny MS-V's were really nice but we're never getting a kit of any of them. I just want a Raider Full Spec and N Dagger N, Bandai!

[@robolord117]

Question can you review 1/144 HGUC juaggu?

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

5:37 storage containers or boxing gloves?

[@kevinargueta1053]

Wow it looks so cool

[@perreterecon]

I got the Hy-gogg first and then that ZgokE, it was a joy to build up the hygogg in comparison with dat crap. And if you not see it menacing just imagine your in the middle of the ocean in a dingy fishing and all the stuff and suddenly that thing cames out waving those arms with those claws, man i would shit my pants down to the soes ,,:(

[@ChrizHawk]

I agree

[@anonymousli4204]

Unleash the kraken! Honestly just the head popping out of the water and then that giant monoeye lighting up and turning towards you would make me shit my pants.

[@cheeseburger3881]

HY GOGG IS EPICLY

[@cherrycherry8821]

When did you buy hy-gogg! I like hy-gogg

[@blakenickdunfee4863]

should I get the 1/144 HGUC hy-gogg and the 1/144 HGUC zok'g E

[@oshaemurray]

80.00 USD on Amazon and I so want it!!! Idk if he got all the accessories with his but the one I seen has beams blast and rocket and booster exhaust

[@cheeseburger3881]

Thats the robot spirits action figure

[@peterbill2526]

please review some Iron Blooded Orphan suit, they are awesome

[@erniestrother3545]

My favorite ZEON MS.

[@The8bitFreak]

I wish they made a msia version of this kit.

[@Arrowdodger]

Ah awesome. This always kind of made me think of if Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon, from FF7, had a baby. Certainly a more interesting kit than the unfortunate Z'Gok E. Been watching Iron Blooded Orphans yet or nah?

[@kakarot197]

+Arrowdodger Yup, but 0080 did it first! And yeah, gonna watch episode 6 tonight, just got the first 3 kits too =3 So far I'm really digging it. I like that instead of an army or some kind of peace movement, they're just a bunch of "business folks"(for lack of a better word :p) trying to make a living. Reminds me a bit of Gundam X and the Vultures.

[@Arrowdodger]

***** yeah, reminds me of that, too, not to mention them re-using parts when they can. it always annoyed the hell out of me how much of the first MSG series' drama comes from Amuro's beam rifle running out of shots, and never did anyone think "why don't we just steal zeon weapons? you just killed like a dozen zakus or a few doms"

[@jameskilts555]

I was wondering if you would be interested in Sprukits ???? I plan on getting at least one. And may I suggest that if you do get any sprukits look into the Halo Master Cheif level three figure. It is very cool and very large.

[@kakarot197]

+James Kilts If they had the Halo 1,2 or 3 Master Chief, I'd go for it, but I don't like the Halo 4 redesign as much :/ Might get some of the pokemon ones though.

[@jameskilts555]

+Kakarot197 Ah, that is understandable, I am still adjusting to the new design. it would be cool if they made some Halo Reach figures or even older Halo games but sadly that's not realistic at this point

[@cherrycherry8821]

When you bought hy-gogg. I like hy-gogg

[@areasevenpro]

You should hunt down the 1989 version and make a comparison.

[@xavierquek6025]

You paint your kits bro?

[@raffaelepassarelli6444]

Is it possible to mount an action base?

[@ARCcommand]

Since i don't believe you have reviewed the normal HGUC Z'Gok, what is your opinion of it (assuming you have the model)? I thinking of buying Char's version, as Amazon.com has it for only $9 (the standard version is like $13). It was from 2001 if memory serves me correctly, so i'm not sure if the plastic would be brittle (people in the comments have mentioned that this model is frail and it's from 2003). I prefer the normal Z'gok's color scheme, but as i said it's more expensive, and i've heard the joints get floppy after a couple of days. Also not sure about the shoulders, some pics seem to make them look skinny.

[@kakarot197]

+ARC command kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKYiKV8gMlnq6s I think it's a very cool model and while mine isn't superfloppy, I can see why the joints could become loose. If you want Char's Z'gok it might be worth looking into this set: www.hlj.com/product/BAN950665/Gun

[@ARCcommand]

***** Oops, didn't see it when I looked up reviews of it, must've just missed it. My apologies. Thank you good sir!

[@thornestark4521]

Which suit do think is better gm or the jegan

[@nineballseraph6986]

This guy rocks in Gundam Battle Assault. Also that game that firstly introduce me to Hygogg.

[@opsimathics]

I love the hy-gogg

[@anonymousli4204]

Why does everybody hate on that z'gok? It doesn't look half bad considering its age. Hell I still like the Gogg... call me old-fashioned. I mean come on at least it's not one of the old Gundam Wing kits

[@blakenickdunfee4863]

review 1/144 HGUC gogg

[@robolord117]

what the best water type MS to start my collection?

[@YerroPhunder]

Hy- gogg or the zee zulu imo.

[@febrymaulana011]

is it possible to reduce the length of it's arm by taking off one or two segments?

[@kakarot197]

+febry maulana You can remove the 2 segments in the middle(just one can be removed as well). That means that you can also add as many segments as you would want.

[@febrymaulana011]

+Kakarot197 alright.. that's a good thing... I think I'll get one thanks.. :D

[@curiouscarlo7276]

@@kakarot197 The things I will do with that knowledge

[@k.cb.c7498]

OMG i just got the perfect idea for a custom,use the gogg arms and attach it to the hygogg body

[@SoundBlastMC]

Gm sniper custom review!!

[@sigi4499]

R-Tickle-ation

[@jameskilts555]

Man I wish I could afford more gundams! All the places that sell them have them way over priced and I am unable to do any online shopping at the moment either. I have only been able to buy two gundams for now. :|

[@佐々木文也-h4h]

Bro are you in japan and if you are I recommend you a store called kimball cause their price there is unbelievably low

[@jameskilts555]

+佐々木文也 Thanks for the recommendation but sadly I live in the US, and where I live the only places that sell any gunpla have a poor selection and for some of them, over priced.

[@佐々木文也-h4h]

+James Kilts well that sucks sorry bro can't recommend any store in the us

[@jameskilts555]

+佐々木文也 That's alright, it may be best for me to just order online, and I was wondering do you have any good recommendations for websites or whatnot that I will be able to purchase the stuff like Gundams from ?

[@佐々木文也-h4h]

+James Kilts well amazon has bunch of MS oh and yahoo shopping here that's where I buy stuff

[@AtomiskAnsar]

Damn parts formers

[@Gillymonster18]

I gotta say, this kit's plastic is VERY weak. Shoulder pegs and slots break so easily. If you plan on giving it a full paint job, you'll have almost every major body part suffering some sort of catastrophic breakage, especially around the wrists.

[@Gillymonster18]

Kind of weird replying to my own comment, the kits weakness was my fault (the medium used for the wash was paint thinner, which was a bad idea. Given a little bit of love in the paint department this kit definitely doesn't disappoint. Always loved the HyGogg and still do.

[@abcgefp]

You talk like a news caster....
