1/144 RG Wing Gundam Zero EW | REVIEW

[@iarefook]

"the HUGE impractical angel wings and an emo pilot who had an addiction to self destructing his own robot" sums up the whole gundam wing series for me altogether.

[@dragonoidman]

Actually....the wing zero's wings were practical....they where used to keep the gundam stable in atmosphere while using the buster rifles and also they helped with re-entry,

[@TYPEV3]

Did they really have to be shaped as Angel Wings? I don't think so.

[@dragonoidman]

***** well the wings can double as shields in combat and serve as heat shields for atmospheric re-entry, while the straight sub-wings provide constant thrust and house the beam sabers. And also due to the angel shaped wings it's can also fly much faster and its able to hold a lot more thrusters in the wings :)

[@TYPEV3]

This isn't the first time you've had this debate, is it?

[@dragonoidman]

***** Ohhh it is :p I just like researching main gundams when I'm bored or want the kit :)

[@peterchi3568]

***** angel wing look cool no other gundam did that right?

[@hakoniwa9384]

Just Finished my first RG wing zero custom Gunplay... They detail is really good imo, u don't need to paint it unless you want to custom it..

[@ZakuAurelius]

really good stuff man!

[@susananavarro3452]

ZakuAurelius O hi

[@QuanLeTravel]

Hello Sir :)

[@nurzalifahzahid2652]

Hi

[@The_Platinum_Realist]

Usually I would use all stickers, but the Wing Zero just looks too amazing I just like it the way it is.

[@victorizradcosplay6858]

The detail they put into this rg is amazing.

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Just woke up and I saw this video :D This is a must buy kit for RG collector like me and the Wing Zero EW is no exception. Gundam W was my 2nd gundam series I ever watch and this one is my favorite suit!

[@FangsOfKomodo]

Awesome review, stunning poses! The wings are magnificent looking and will surely stand out on any shelf compared to most other RG (with stickers and panel lining of course ;D)

[@gastergiovanna9793]

Heero every time something goes remotely south "i guess wing has to go" It was funny the first time and kind of understandable but through the rest of the series when it was done it was just "why" That won't stop me from loving this kit and the rest of them

[@flamer38544]

Got one for $10 today, building it slowly, because I got to the head and said I want to enjoy it. I build the Wing Zero last year and loved every minute of it. Wing Zero Ew is my favorite idc haha. I wouls love to be able to buy more Code Geass model kits, just waiting on more to be in stores.

[@reddragonunleashed1]

Finished completing this model myself today. I didn't find all the instructions straight forward. If I didn't check out a review of this kit before making it I wouldn't have realised that theirs a shoulder piece which can turn and moves back for example. Because I think I was tired when doing the left arm, I completely stuffed it up and when trying to fix it, I couldn't put things back onto the arm frame. Then there are the stickers. There are a lot of stickers. And on the guide it says sticker thirteen for example goes in three different places but there is only one sticker thirteen in the kit. And the hands. I've decided to only use the close fist hands since those seem much stronger. the ball point hands which allows the fingers to move are actually very weak and fall out easily. The gun with the kit looks awesome but if the hands can't hold the gun then there's not much point in building that gun. A lot of things kept popping out and had to be glued. The part which connected the wings to the humanoid was also particularly week and needed super glue because every time I moved the winged gundam, those wings wanted to fall out. With that said, it's wonderful to look at. Takes a lot of effort but that effort is rewarded because when it's done, it looks absolutely gorgeous. And because I'm just so happy things aren't popping off as a result of glue I had to use, I don't mind so much it doesn't move as well compared to some more modern kits. I'm just happy it's functional. The model kit definitely changes a person's perspective a bit.

[@BundSama]

Just got done building this as of this comment, its structurally more sound than the RG RX-78 I built when I got back into building Gunpla (no doubt watching this channel has helped too) indeed very back heavy but I was a fun build nonetheless I compared to the old HG Wing Zero EW Id say this what I wished it looked like back in 98.

[@TARS..]

I had an RG as my first gundam! It didn't really trouble me much so for the new Gundam builders don't be scared to start of with something a bit more complicated. You don't need skill, you just need to know if you are ready to build it.

[@Astronomer91]

Same here! RG was my first grade and it was amazing. Now I do some HGs and I get bored- RG is my favorite grade

[@TARS..]

Astronomer Ninety-One Yeah after that I also built 4 HGs and 3 MGs, I'm starting to build up a nice collection

[@Astronomer91]

Aha it is an addiction! I have built 2 RGs, 2 HGs and 1 SD since then.... Now I have 3 more RGs, 3 IBO HGs and 1 MG Gundam Heavyarms sitting in my backlog waiting to be built Gunpla is Freedom

[@TARS..]

+Astronomer Ninety-One (Astronomer91) It really is if you know how to use those tools of freedom

[@joeydahl9594]

I started out with one of those little SD kits, the Strike Noir I believe. Then I built a few HGs, then a few more with a few MGs scattered through out. Then I built an RG. I like the HGs as something to play around with more than anything else since they are more like a toy but the RGs are what I turn to if I want a nice display piece to play around with every so often at this scale.

[@Chrizinator]

The sliding shoulders do make me wonder if we will see the Wing Zero TV Ver (Proto) get an RG.

[@rasheedgregory3459]

the Death Scythe Hell Custom is my second favorite gundam of all time followed by the Heavyarms Custom. Don't really care for the Sandrock but will get the RG when its released just to complete the set. I noticed the shoulder armor sliding feature...only reason i can think of for that is they may make the Wing Gundam EW as a webshop exclusive or something. the MG version could transform and had a similar setup for the shoulder armor.

[@_-_-936]

The shoulder armor gimick is for his iconic pose with the beam rifle in front.

[@primusvsunicron1]

Needs more wings of a boy who killed adolescence

[@neon_lavander]

PrimusVsUnicron well Pbandai's got you coverd with an exclusive feather effect set

[@samshji]

Great review, i found another place to look for gundam reviews.

[@rasheedgregory3459]

I cant wait to get my hands on this RG. This is my favorite gundam of all time...idc how many other gundams where made and are better. For me this gundam is the alpha and omega of gundams and im pleased to see that it has gotten the RG it deserved. Ive also seen they are goin to make the others from the EW movie. My question is will bandai one day release the tv versions as well.

[@TYPEV3]

Probably not.

[@rasheedgregory3459]

***** Sometimes I wonder if bandai really gives a hoot about what the fans want. I know that compaired to MG & HG the RG line is fairly new but I think they would really benefit from giving a lot of gundams the RG treatment. Ive seen they have a 00 Raiser in the makings and some of the suits id love to see as RG base designs are already in this form. How hard would it be to make the other GAT suits using the RG Aile strike or a gouf custom using the zaku ii? There are a lot of other suits that id love to see as well. The RG line has become my favorite out of all the model kit lines they make.

[@crusnik102605]

rasheed gregory well I think they will eventually make RG's for other gundams but since it's a new line I think they are focusing on the leads for now. I want the TV version too especially the Deathscythe Hell.

[@ArkadiosTheodulus]

crusnik102605 would be awesome to see a real grade Deathscythe hell TV version, but for now I'm just happy to have gotten the robot spirits version

[@bunnyfreakz]

RG RX78-2 and Mk2 engineering are better than this

[@AgitoTwinks]

I was surprised by the lack of decals compared to the other RGs

[@anotheran]

Awesome that you got all the signature poses included in your review. And shout out to ytv! Yiu got me rethinking my preorder

[@TYPEV3]

YTV will forever hold a spot in my heart.

[@anotheran]

Looking at your video more closely, wing looks much more simplified than the rg rx78 which started the line. Most of the leg look like just 1-2 more pieces than a hg model kit

[@9540400]

Been looking around for reviews of this, I like your reviews man, keep it up!

[@TYPEV3]

Thanks!

[@D.Snom.]

I really hope we get deathsycthe hell custom as an RG kit next

[@rx-0unicorngundam776]

Same here

[@TYPEV3]

wen cheng SINANJU Jeager But Heavyarms is obviously cooler.

[@gizzach977]

TYPE V3 hopefully you won't have to paint about 1/3 of the kit

[@c.h.s.t.r]

3 years and still no sign of rg deathsycthe hell

[@neon_lavander]

Astray Noir agreed considering the wings work in a VERY similar way

[@jeromeendaya7710]

Just wondering~ How do you apply top coat on your kits? Is it part by part? Or spraying the whole inner frame and then armors piece by piece?

[@Astronomer91]

Depends on kit- the first time I did it, I took it part by part. Once I was done I realized a lot was hidden by armor. So now I try and spray bigger chunks, like a whole arm or leg at a time. Much more time efficient and looked just the same.

[@edenvhel5507]

How many layer of topcoat did put

[@730connor]

Bought this bad boy in Tokyo last year and just start building him. Cant wait to see my result when it's all done. Have a good day fellows.

[@zelda1722]

How bad was it?

[@pokemonsonicgirl123]

@@zelda1722 It's slang.

[@Baddest_of_Men]

I finally got my hands on this thing, and while I'm not quite done with it, it's probably my favorite of the 3 RG's I own so far, being the MK II (AEUG) and the GP01FB. Absolutely do not regret asking for this as a birthday gift.

[@Baddest_of_Men]

Also it makes me want to watch Wing. I have yet to get around to the rest of the 90's Gundam series.

[@evanvirnando7797]

you should watch 90s gundam.. so amazing and interesting

[@Baddest_of_Men]

I already have, the only one I have yet to watch now is Turn A Gundam, although I have been watching Super Robot anime like GaoGaiGar and I was gonna start Getter Robo soon.

[@Kingsbeneathus]

Great review, man. Im definitely going to have to pick it up soon.

[@saucybiscuit8680]

wing is what got me into gundam/gunpla

[@MushaGundamMKIII]

Just from the shoulders extending I can tell that they will make the Wing Gundam Ver Ka/ EW version with this mold. I just hope it's not an online exclusive.

[@DanteSolablood]

I must admit to preferring the original wing to the Zero or the EW variants... I think it's the shoulders that put me off the EW. Too poofy. However, you nailed Hiro, he'd self destruct a ghost-train if someone spilled their popcorn.

[@TYPEV3]

Yeah, I generally find most people are split on the EW variants.

[@DanteSolablood]

***** I'm not V3, but he means "Endless Wing", they're from the eponymous movie where the Wing Zero gets feather wings etc.

[@GMExia001]

Dante Solablood endless wing??? wasn't it called endless waltz^^

[@DanteSolablood]

Well it certainly *felt* like Endless Wing at the time... probably just a tiredness related mistake at the time. I was a different person 6 months ago. :P

[@GMExia001]

Dante Solablood true that i can relate to the takes a lotta time feeling xD just made this beast today took a freakin 8 hours to do

[@chrisdidler1877]

Nice review sir, I think this blows the other wing kits at this scale out of the water, and I'm waiting to get mine in the mail

[@kendradyson3468]

My nine-year-old is building it. We are having issues with the piece that connects the hips to the torso. Did anyone else?

[@ItsLeo-te7jm]

Wing Gumdam zero ew is my favourite gumdam!

[@nemueru]

*Gundam

[@MadnessHEROReverend]

technically there are 6-7 gundam that the Wing gundam series introduced depending on how you count them. 1. Wing Gundam 2 . Gundam Heavyarms/custom 3. Gundam Shenlong/Altron 4. Gundam Sandrock/custom 5. Gundam Deathscythe/Hell 6. wing Gundam zero/custom 7. Gundam Epyon I get that you're probably just referring to the Core 5. that being said Wing Gundam zero was its own separate Gundam from the wing Gundam (unlike the other 4 main Gundam), and while it didn't get as much screen time as the others, Gundam Epyon was epic.

[@lol3ndir]

Great review! Your model kit is getting better and better (unlike before, smudged panel lining and stickers coming off).

[@TYPEV3]

Yep, but I still have a long way to go before I'll be satisfied.

[@ironkeko4423]

I just ordered mine I may have been late like 6 years late but I still want this ever since High school

[@overlimitrpm]

I bought this kit like 4 months ago and idk why but is ur wing zero loose? Cuz mine is :(

[@ironkeko4423]

@@overlimitrpm a bit I can't find it somehow somewhere I put Nail polish on the wing joints I have a problem with the base adaptor tho

[@overlimitrpm]

@@ironkeko4423 oh thanks for telling me

[@juiceeboxx]

you make the best gundam models review on youtube :D subbed

[@vangazon]

For some reason I can't put the hands once the bracers are on. Without the bracers, I can insert the hands without issue. Either the joints are short or I'm missing something here. I absolutely followed the instruction btw.

[@thedevastator1050]

He head crest on my figure got lost somewhere and I shaved off that extra level and doesn't look terrible

[@bdacrf2371]

hmmm....this doesn't seem like an RG but the review is well done.

[@aconfusedkitten3044]

Bdacrf23 why doesnt it seem like an rg?

[@ryankillpatrick]

So frickin dope! I love the articulation!

[@emilianogodoy5867]

I can't decide whether to buy the wing zero rg or the freedom rg someone can help me?😅😅

[@Bigjawnnn117]

Emiliano Godoy both are good kits although my wing zero has too many loose parts (shoulders falling off, back skirts falling off, the fingers on the real grade hands pop off, and the frame feels really loose) I recommend the Freedom but there is a few problems with the freedom I find the wings are hard to lose and the smaller wing parts of the set are too loose on mine. But other than that the kit is very sturdy and good. I’d choose freedom over the wing zero lol and I’m a huge wing fan boy

[@riceboycruz1300]

Wing Zero

[@NT35000]

I recently bought this model and while I don't have an issue with Zero Custom's design, I did find that it was seemingly difficult to keep the wing pack attached to it. My model appears to have a loose joint for the wings. That kinda made it disappointing....

[@rezapratama8609]

well done review dear sir, u just got one humble subscriber

[@TYPEV3]

Reza Pratama Thanks!

[@helenzeng4767]

I am getting mine soon and that's why I am watching this video.

[@Mboy501]

Any idea how I can tighten RG joints? For example, Destiny can't hold his sword without any support, but is there a way to make the joint more sturdy so he can?

[@av_b3y0nd7]

I built this kit bout a day ago but the bigger wings makes it abit hard to pose. I'll take out the bif wings and use the smaller wings instead

[@CasualFlyer23]

best part of the review was finding out this one can actually hold its guns

[@megatron8490]

So they are stickers and not water slide!?

I hope I can build again I did the freedom didn't quite turn out well then I hope bcos of the detailing

[@Spartan-4309]

I had fun with this model, but having an issue with the head crown (right on top of the head) not staying on, it keeps falling off. Am I doing something wrong or might it be defective, requiring me to use glue?

[@Artkaillector]

I have to choose between this one and its previous version, which one will be the best?

[@Greyyy2442]

+TYPE V3 what do you more prefer the mg version or the rg version, and which do you prefer rg or mg

[@MysteriousAnon42]

Hey +TYPE V3 , a quick question I'm sure comes up alot. How do you remove the remnants of plastic on the model from removing it from the parts tree? I can clip the peices off, and file off the nub-mark, but how do I regain the shining finish afterwords? I am fairly new to Gunpla building and any help or comment is Much appreciated- Thanks for your time!

[@chubbiebunnyy]

Yay another video ! Keep making more! Anyway what camera do u use for your videos and also what topp coat did u use ? 1 more thing for the wing's panel line you should use a grey marker instead of a black to show some contrast

[@TYPEV3]

iPhone 6 and Tamiya TS-80. I actually did use grey on the wings, but apparently it was still too dark. In hindsight, I should have went with blue. French blue.

[@chubbiebunnyy]

***** wow i didnt know my phone could take such awesome shots LOL ! Hope to see another video soon! keep it up man

[@Saiorus]

Are you looking forward to the the HRM one coming out this Sep?

[@O0oFullMetalo0O]

Hey guys! Just wondering are the wings compatible with hg kits. Planning a kitbash :D

[@lordshoelaceify]

I have a question I was bulid this jut and the left arm inner frame snapped is there any way to repair it or to get a new left arm inner frame. This bulid is really important to me.

[@celestialspartan1176]

Now we wait for an RG Wing Gundam Snow White from Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop.

[@Jackson-hp7rt]

PLEASE. I need it so badly.

[@bigpartyartie]

Question, for the arms did your socket for the hands meet the end of the armor or are they somewhat inside the armor?

[@glucar3312]

fun fact:it's name in the new anime series in the G.wing frozen teardrop is called snow white wing.

[@glucar3312]

+type V3 can you tell me how much this is in Philippine money.

[@pokemonsonicgirl123]

Bit late, but it's Snow White Prelude (full name is Wing Gundam Zero Snow White Prelude (a mouthful, I know).

[@gokaisilver3801]

was never much of a fan of Wing but this is a good looking suit.

[@GundamNinja9]

Wing Gundam Zero or Exia is the kit that I'm gonna start my RG line. Now I just gotta choose which one.

[@TYPEV3]

Would you rather have impractical angel wings or the BEST gundam of them all?

[@GundamNinja9]

True, but I want to practice on an RG kit first before trying my hand at Exia. And I want to get Wing Zero into that pose when he shot the shelter in the movie. :)

[@TYPEV3]

Then go for the angel wings!

[@skidude98]

I usually collect robot damashiis as they feel more sturdy and less likely to break being figures. I was wondering if this RG line or any other line are fragile? I had a 1/100 non grade exia once that broke on me.

[@TYPEV3]

skidude98 This RG is definitely sturdy but not quite Robot Damashii solid.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

Well it being a non-grade didn't help

[@zackdiamond1037]

Apart from the difference in scale, is there any improvement over the old MG wing Zero custom?

[@TYPEV3]

Zack Diamond Better wings. But the differences are minor.

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Nice review, but might I suggest something for your panel lining? Instead of using black to panel line your white pieces, maybe use a dark gray on white pieces since it's not as bold and overpowering as black.

[@TYPEV3]

ssjMaximum22Goku Really depends on what you like I guess. I like bolder lining vs subtle lining.

[@sylermran]

what base are you using? i need one thats taller then the regular actionbase

[@PerfectCell1994]

Getting mine next week :D

[@SaigaTenshi]

I accidentally lost the #16 sticker (the small grey sticker below the gatling part on the left). Is it okay not to sticker on that part?

[@indrahidayat9842]

Excuse me, for lining, u use grey colour or black colour in white part ?

[@Leisenca]

This may be out of topic but i can imagine how badass Gundam Heavyarms in RG line with all of those decals XD ~

Are you using action base 1?

[@rx-0unicorngundam776]

Bandai should make a RG Deathscythe EW Ver. sometime soon to go along with the Wing Zero.

[@rx-0unicorngundam776]

And a RG Star Build/Build Strike Gundam would be awesome as well

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Bandai showed the silhouette of the other 4 gundams at last year model show. So we can expect the other 4 coming out in the future.

What display stand did he use in the review?

[@l3iohazard86]

Thanks for the review lol you saved me some money! I just put an master grade wing custom together and this real grade is almost exactly the same in looks. Mg has a slide out gimmick that is little different and the feathers are rubbery. I would thought rg at least would come with clear green parts but o well.

Yeah, I was surprised by the lack of green lenses.

Another thorough review. How many times do you make mistakes, or get tongue tied while recording? Or do you get it right the first time through?

[@TYPEV3]

I make a lot of mistakes. On average, each review (filming, editing, audio) takes me about 4 hours. Add on another 1-3 hours for writing the actual script.
