[@vustvaleo8068]

still wondering if the concept of this kit is based on a funny fan speculation online when 00 season 2 first started airing that is due to the giant Gundam head on the Seravee's backpack (whom happens to be also the Seraphim's torso) it made people think that the Seravee is capable of combining with the Ptolemaios 2 into a gigantic Gundam, with the ship became the body and the Seravee turns into it's head unit.

[@CFSF69]

Vust Valeo Sorta a reason on why the Build Fighters/Divers designs should be given a bit more credit. Admittedly some of them are hit and miss, but actually knowing they’re inspiration,makes you really appreciate the deigns even more.

[@zorh136]

The GN Physical Bazooka is from the Virtue Physical design, it fires physical projectiles that are very similar to GN Missiles in that it releases a large amount of stored GN Particles on impact. That's why it is called that.

[@jonathang6887]

This one looks better than the original. Gotta love the MC Hammer pants! Maybe that’s where Seraphim is hiding.

[@ajpiskel]

Lots of love for the "Djinn mode, minus the juice" pun!

[@ZakuAurelius]

Adam Piskel surprised it took so long for someone to notice!

[@benaldrich9149]

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed lol had to go pretty far down in the comments to find it. 😜

[@mechaprime00]

lmao that whole moment at 11:49 Your editing grows more entertaining

[@DESTRAKON]

"gin mode no juice" haha that boi

[@smoldream2908]

We just need a Build Fighters version of the Arios (and the GN Archer, I suppose) and we’ll have the full 00 season 2 team in Build Fighters form!

[@thomastsuihn]

Smol Dream um cherudim?

[@smoldream2908]

Thomas Tsui it may not TECHNICALLY be the Cherudim, but last year we got the Gundam Cherudim SAGA Type.GBF for the 00-themed Battlogue episode

[@thomastsuihn]

Smol Dream you're right but actually that's not totally Build Fighters, that's a Cherudim MSV

[@fujitamakos8884]

for those clear parts, yeah 2 of my 4 pieces continue to fall off on my kit that i built today so would probably recommend gluing or cementing them into place which ill be doing at a later date. as for that heel of the foot mine has the same issue of being extremely loose to the point i have to reposition the heel every time i pick up and place down onto the table. though what i do love is when reveiwers mention the bonus parts it helps me not only build it from the video showing off the snapped together but it also helps me figure out on what i want to do with a oob kit bash with parts included to maybe improve the look or helpimprove its look in my eyes.

[@MGXorn]

Thanks for the review, you helped me making up my mind about this kit.

[@Zeriel00]

What kills me about this kit is that it doesn't come with a stand!!!!! :(

[@rikenrock4120]

not a fan of its leg, but when combined with the ptolemaios arm, it become super cool and buffy kit

[@ezrah8520]

Bubbles intro haha

[@jerrybot7321]

Definitely not for everyone.

[@activeterror]

I’m so thankful this kit was made cause that mini model of the ship used to be like $100

[@argoth231]

Still amazed we are still getting ball and socket joints for legs on hgs

[@krysle3337]

Well of course, they reused the original HG Serevee's frame. But funnily enough a few HG's after the Seravee started implementing the normal joint that we love

[@thebekmanz]

It's pronounced "Shaharazad"

[@GenJotsu]

Almost have enough to build 2 half gn guns too

[@GenJotsu]

It had big feet in 00 to hold extra GN particles.

[@MaxHDAvenger]

GN physical Bazooka was originally a variant of Gundam Virtue that used it.

[@ZakuAurelius]

MaxHD2490 Avenger yep, I mentioned that in the unboxing video

[@Lickmo]

Man, those lower legs are kinda putting me off buying him, but after seeing that modification to the feet, maybe I'm considering it.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

the only thing I wanna know about this kit is if Seraphim Gundam can attach to it's back. it looks like they might have changed the backpack connector.

[@El-Chav0]

I think this one is awesome

[@dol_mel7487]

The feet aren't that big of a deal.....

[@nicom.114]

There are gn missiles so it does not seem too outlandish that there is a physical gn bazooka.

[@sinanfaruq3776]

Already got the kit, and I recommend just using the side skirt and making those legs long and attaching all 4 to the back. Getting another unit in the distant future to use to make him even thicker Long story short: This is a THICC Gundam, If you think Thicc is justice, go all the way, don't half-ass it!

[@paoloantoniolomotan5622]

I have this kit. You really have to like it to appreciate or buy it. Looks real good, although I still have to build it. I think you can use the left over parts from Seravee to modify the upper body enough to distract anybody from the feet, but otherwise looks ok.

[@calamansi_art]

Could you use all of the spare parts tho?

[@draven9481]

Hi zaku, after i finished building my seravee i notice there's still a lot of parts left, i even saw that i could still form another head and body? From extra parts, but it doesn't show anything about it in the manual. Any ideas?

[@Taytay0295]

I thoroughly enjoyed your minus the juice joke Zack lmao

[@ZakuAurelius]

Glad to hear when people catch those subtle ones ;)

[@joshuavance1472]

Will you be reviewing anymore of the David Union tools? Thanks.

[@jiminboo]

0:04 Zach saying "Scheherazade" making that my ringtone (^-^)'

[@ZakuAurelius]

Spicy!

[@sugarhoneyicetea3040]

THICC

[@robmcmuffin8453]

Sugar Honey Ice Tea 😂this gundam is all booty and hipps!

[@thebekmanz]

Oh and it is still confusing with the name Ptolemy or Ptolemaios... It's pronounced "Tolemy" or "Tolemaios"

[@raizin4908]

Ptolemy is the anglicized version of the name, which is indeed pronounced with a silent P. But Ptolemaios is the original Greek version, which the ancient astronomer's Japanese name is based on as well. Both in Ancient Greek and Japanese the P is *not* silent, so I'd say "ptol-uh-MYE-os", with the P. It's not an English name after all. In the English dub of Gundam 00 they call the ship by the English name, Ptolemy. (With a silent P, of course.) So there's no official source on what "Ptolemaios" should be pronounced like in English. Bonus fact: in modern Greek the pronunciation is more like "toy-uh-MAY-os

[@thebekmanz]

Raizin which I thought was strange. Also, I never watched the dub of 00. Bandai shows were in a weird place back then (since Toonami at the time was defunct)

[@raizin4908]

To be fair, I never watched the dub either. I just looked that up.

[@thebekmanz]

Raizin hahaha I just hear them say it

[@MrZkickass2]

I got the mecha gaikotsu vibe at the end of review .. is it deja vu?

[@jaketheberge1970]

Any chance that you will review the hg seravee gundam gnhw/b version since you like the seravee design? You could kit bash them so those legs you hate are removed.

[@laxur1312]

Do you use topcoat on kits with a lot of clear parts?

[@cowsshoulddienooffenceexce1204]

my clear parts are too tight to pull out

[@starshooterx8021]

Lol i love the inclusion of your flubs keep up the great work😊

[@benzleeasa7666]

Nice review as always! I wish your USA gundam store discount code is a bit shorter though.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Benz Leeasa as short as a copy paste?

[@MrMulambo1]

Is it possible to connect the hg seraphim to this kit?

[@BLAZE084]

Yeah, the feet just don't look good, at all. With the inclusion of the Physical Gun thing, there's a good incentive to buy and mod the original kit of the Virtue in its "Physical" variant or maybe Bandai will be kind enough and release it like they did the Cherudim SAGA through a Build Divers Battlogue-esque animation short (wishful thinking). Maybe?

[@CFSF69]

Never really understood on why this unit’s named the Scheherazade. I know about 101 Arabian Nights and I do know that the builder came from an Arabian server, but why though ? It sounds like they just took the name of a well known Arabian folktale and just slapped it on.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Astaroth Buster MK-ii its Bandai! Slapping on names is what they do!

[@superkamehameha1744]

*FAT GUNDAM 2.0 SERAVEE!!*

[@slippyquack7672]

THICC GUNPLA THIGHS

[@warpath16]

thanks for the review :) - really like the 1st mode though :)

[@Dragonk116]

I just want a MG version of it already, the original one not the build version

[@superkamehameha1744]

the "P" in Ptolemy is silent

[@chovue2363]

11:50 should be the only way to say 1/144 from now on. XD

[@boglin]

wowowowowowwowowowowowone 44th scale

[@ardigraha5964]

his feet looks like an arcade crane machine

[@williamzhao7867]

Lol it would be funny if there is 2 seraphim gundam hidden inside the THICC lower legs XD

[@mystical2758]

Those are some t h i c c legs.

[@nerdfatha]

minus the juice, lol, nice

[@ZakuAurelius]

i was kinda surprised how few people caught that

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

For me personally I really like the new feet design, it give me some ideas for creating my own mech design. And I absolutely love the head design! It's basically a customized Virtue head if that wasn't obvious enough. I just love the mech with bunny ears antenna~

[@ZakuAurelius]

叶川ヒロ yep! Bunny ears always look cool

[@TsorovanZero]

Just a couple pieces of plaplate away from having IBO feet on there.

[@johnmichaelfabian878]

i like that high heeled feet

[@ajpiskel]

I do too. I think the only thing I'm not a huge fan of now that I've seen the model all put together is the Ptolemais parts. Which I realize is half the plastic, but honestly that base form is just begging for a bunch of awesome backpacks and maybe some other minor mods.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

you're pronouncing the name Ptolemy/Ptolemaios correct but the P is silent.

[@robmcmuffin8453]

is this Gundam's name derived from a transliteration of cest' la vie?

[@ajpiskel]

It's from the legend of Scheherazade.

[@fullarmourtracksuit4023]

I like the design, though the colours are awful. Definitely needs paint and panel lines.

[@williamzhao7867]

Ummmmm... when it gets the claws and extended legs is pretty much a guy who worked out so much, he turned disproportionate

[@roliandibagas244]

feet worse than Vidar

[@ValisTyping]

Am I the first to make this joke? What ever T h i c c

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

This shit was made by a master builder? Geez, even momokapool looks better lol

[@ajpiskel]

You're definitely not feeling the Love!

[@GenJotsu]

Opinions are like assholes; as are you.

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

Jo King Oops, did I offend you? :3

[@GenJotsu]

TYRONEYUNASTY 外人人外 Nope; just educating you.

[@ajpiskel]

No Love at all in this comment thread. smh

[@hmm4454]

it looks like shit because there was no paint job on it

[@hisup4754]

This kit is so damn funny 😂😂😂 so I am not buying

[@dol_mel7487]

hi sup what's so funny about it?

[@hisup4754]

Jetfire48 idk
