1636 - HGUC Galbaldy β (OOB Review)

[@vustvaleo8068]

the 'opening cockpit hatch' thing is a throwback to the old 80's kit, to me it is a strange reference to include.

[@DragonEXtwo]

The Galbaldy α uses the exact same beam rifle as the Gelgoog, so the Galbaldy β is just a EFF redesign of the Gelgoog's rifle. What you identified as ammo-packs on the shield are actually missile launchers, which might explain why we never see a Galbaldy β using a bazooka and thus why no bazooka is included with the kit.

[@ZakuAurelius]

ah! well there ya go!

[@JanusHoW]

Actually, the Galbaldy was a rejected design for whatever mass-production suit Zeon was going to first put beam weapons on - that ultimately went to the Gelgoog. The Federation managed to capture the original Galbaldy (the Galbaldy Alpha in this case) and then reworked it in its effort to make new mobile suits on the cheap. According to the box, the Galbaldy's design was solid enough that all the Feddies changed were the addition of a panoramic cockpit (first used on Gundam ALEX) and a slight reduction in weight. Its only major weakness is that its just made of titanium alloy rather than the Gundarium Gamma used on the Rick Dias or the titanium/ceramic composite used on the Gundam MK II and Hi-Zack.

[@corbingarrison7167]

@@JanusHoW it’s a mix between the Gyan and Gelgoog. It has an updated version of the gyan with parts and armor off a gelgoog

[@turtlegaming4427]

Zeon had galbaldys aswell mostly those Feddie scum tho

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

after the One Year War Anaheim Electronics (the company that manufactures mobile suits for the EFSF) absorbed Zeonic ( the company that manufactures mobile suits for Zeon) which means Anaheim got all of the engineers from Zeonic. so if you've ever wondered why the Hi-Zack looks like a Zaku and why the Gabaldy looks like a Gelgoog that's the reason. from Zeta Gundam through Unicorn all of the mobile suits were manufactured by Anaheim.

[@steadyalbatross]

I seem to remember that the galbaldy was a successor to the Gyan but then they were like, oh wait the gelgoog did better, so they basically made it gelgoog 2.0

[@GigawingsVideo]

Galbaldy is like a mashup of the two. The head is what happened when you mix the Gelgoog mohawk head with Gyan's pointy head. The result is a piece of shit no one like.

[@CycloneForce]

I LOVE the Galbaldy Beta and I have been waiting patiently for Bandai to remember this suit. I was very let down when the Zeta movies came out and this big wave of Zeta-era kits were released but my Galbaldy went forgotten. I bought two of these HGs in hope to support the design and I hope that one day I can get a MG/RE to match the scale of the rest of my kits.

[@GigawingsVideo]

To be fair it's not that well designed and looks like One Year War reject.

[@zorh136]

This gives me good hope for the Galbaldy Rebake, as it's based on this kit's mold

[@MaxHDAvenger]

SilverWolf dunno but we got to wait and see, looked pretty overhauled from Galbaldy Beta.

[@Gnrlvulcan]

would love to see the AOZ high mobility type as a variant

[@ZakuAurelius]

oh man that would be sick!

[@TheLVJ]

Me, literally right after my Zeta rewatch: "The Galbaldy was the dullest MS ever." 5 seconds into the review: "This thing is beautiful 😭 FOR LILA!!!"

[@uxas3674]

@@TheLVJ to be honest, I kinda hate what tomino did with zeta gundam series. Well I mean, of course it was according to tomino's vision. But, that does not mean you can't kill everyone dammit. I shed tears when Four was killed and Rosamia was shot in her psycho gundam mk II😭😭😭

[@TheLVJ]

@@uxas3674 Z was really happy back but poor character writing and contrived/rushed resolutions. But that's literally every single Tomino run project after 0079. He got progressively worse with each release.

Galbaldy is my favourite mook kit! Representing!

[@gisilberht]

LMFAO that pin head scene was totally unexpected 😂

[@chacrawarrior]

That shield looks like the hard drive of a xbox 360.

[@joongsukkie04]

REEEEEE REVIVE GELGOOG!!! PLZ BANDAI!!!

[@thomas_mafty_haha]

Mythicalyfe complete agree with you on this one

[@DaSpineLessFish]

Nope, another Unicorn kit because that's what everyone wants, right? Right?

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Nah, we need HG Unicorn revive.

[@andreassetiawan7773]

Make it the Jager and Bandai wins my wallet.

[@inactiveaccount2437]

Mythicalyfe Definitely yes!

[@adeptuslatrina]

Imagine this kit repainted in the gelgoog marine camo from mayfly of space... Pose it in formation with some similarly painted hguc gelgoog marines and it'd be a pretty cool what if scenario.

[@hrgaming4plebs570]

maybe it'll look cool if you switch the sticker for the eye camera and the scope? like crosshairs on the scope look

[@RobotJeeg]

I don't buy many new kits. I have too many 1:144 no-grade to do before. But I have one revive (still to open) and a few recent hguc. The posability of this kit is amazing! I never saw a joint like that in the shoulder. And it has all elbows and knees with 180° rotation. Wow! This kit could be a parfect choice for a total "reshaping" Joshua Darrah style! Because the onyl problem I have with this kit is that I don't like it as it is oob. I really want to change the "round re button" in the chest. The "crown" on its head. The feet too old style. And several little things. But with that posability it could be an awesome custom kit!

[@joongsukkie04]

Who else clicked on the 1:14 in his comment

[@RobotJeeg]

Ah ah ah ... I didn't notice that!

[@twilight_phantom2969]

There have been kits with articulation similar to this for years

[@RobotJeeg]

It's the first time that I see that shoulder joint on a HG. Tell me another Hg with that shoulder articulation please?

[@warmastermutedandbroken1381]

4:28 hold the fukin phone, isn't the galbaldy beta also based on its earlier version galbaldy Alpha? Because the cockpit is the middle round stomach

[@PORCELAINGRL]

I the galbaldy looks like its from 1996 because its very smooth and i love the patrick pinhead meme

[@GuntPulp]

Hope they come out with the high mobility form so we can share the backpack with AoZ kits.

[@MemoGGG16]

I want the comparisons to comeback, please!

[@lamaduckie932]

Why do you have the forearms always pointing inward?

Nice to see a new HG kit of the main "bad guy" MS of the first part of Zeta Gundam. Need something for the Rick Dias and Gundam Mk II to fight.

[@robmcmuffin8453]

seems like a decent entry level kit. not bad.

[@wolfehoffmann2697]

I'd personally like it if they did the Galbaldy Alpha as an HG kit, the original Zeon design.

[@ashertan8950]

Do u paint them?

[@ivonnewarow4796]

No. I just bought them today for 12$

[@terminushobbies]

Is this better than the zaku 2 origin?

[@twilight_phantom2969]

Terminus Hobbies depends what you are looking for. If you want value for money, most of the origin zakus have a lot of accessories, so they are better in that respect, but I'm pretty sure the galbaldy has (slightly) better mobility overall. They both have roughly equal color separation (if I remember correctly) so I'd say the zaku is a bit better (just because of the sheer amount of equipment some of them come with)

[@ZakuAurelius]

I’d say the Zaku II is still better. But this kit is very solid

[@terminushobbies]

Thanks for the recommendation. The head really looks like patrick starfish.

[@razor911]

hot pink i prefer the initial photo color
