[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

[@tonyy.8852]

@Santiago Scarpino or the moon nuke the island itself (GBDRR)

[@superroboted]

Sorry about your eBay experience. I bought the HG kit back in 1996, and it was actually a pretty good kit. I mean it's not MG but it had a wow factor for it's time. I glued the wrong parts but over all the kit was very good.

[@Nu_Chowe]

I recently built the hg 1 100 and I still love it lol. This suit design is just so cool

[@edgarusongo2129]

I found solution about MG DX loose waist Cut a thick runner,put it inside the body,a vacant part at the back Put all the weight at the front I never use the Satellite Cannon as tripod My MG DX stands great now Try it! You can find solution in your Gunpla if your a resourceful builder

[@rossgagne5494]

Great review brah. I have the 144 Double X. It was actually the first gunpla I ever purchased and loved it and after watching this ya sould.me on the MG so I just ordered it. Thanks again. For the great channel. Love the shopping trip vids. Plan of making my first pilgrimage to Japan next year.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Ross Gagne You'll love Japan! Let me know if I can give any advice before the trip!

[@rossgagne5494]

I totally will. I'm hoping they still have the full scale gundam on display. Need to know where that is and the best gundam stores and where they are located. Mahalo

[@BlackEpyon]

After all these years, I still gotta wonder about the wings. To receive microwave power (or even to reflect it), all you need is a mesh tighter than the wavelength of the microwave beam itself. SO I'm pretty sure Kid could have gotten the GX's satellite cannon going again using some metal window screening. If we were talking radio waves, you could do it with chicken wire. Now, if you really want to make it look snazzy, go out to the hardware store and buy some retro-reflective safety strips.

[@jessemalmsteen6687]

Fucking geeky ass nerd

[@strf90105]

I'm assuming After War technology regressed to a point they no longer understand the concept of a rectenna.

[@BlackEpyon]

@@strf90105 Beam weapons are okay, but a coat-hanger wire mesh is too complex to figure out. Cause, seriously, I love the design, but if all you're doing is receiving microwaves, a mesh is all you need.

[@strf90105]

@@BlackEpyon yeah but you need to rectify that into electricity. They might not have rectifiers that can handle that much microwave

[@BlackEpyon]

@@strf90105 Or maybe Kid was being a little shit and decided that the Satellite Cannon was too OP.

[@GuntPulp]

You figured out the reason for the feature of those cannons being on a hinge for the final pose

[@kantusprime1119]

Never thought of putting a wash on pilot figures. Gonna try that now.

[@STARSHADOWWOODWORKS]

Great review lol now don't have to do mine lol congrats on the 5k subs brother

[@ZakuAurelius]

TheGunplameister Haha, still do yours of course! You'll surely find stuff I missed or have different opinions! And thank you again! ^^

[@soundsliketough8294]

Gunpla fans when a new kit from a series thats not often talked about comes out: I sleep Gunpla fans when the 100th grandaddy gundam is announced: :OOO OMG GOTTA HAVE

[@blackneno]

eBay in the old days was sketchy...especially for kids lol. I never used it until past couple years. Nice review. Definitely on my list since I was please with the MG X.

[@ZakuAurelius]

CrazyPiPo I think I would almost prefer the MG X myself. I like a bit of asymmetry sometimes. But I like the beam rifle and shield of the DX much better.

[@blackneno]

Agreed. The shield on DX is a much, much better design compared to a hybrid beam rifle/shield on the X. You can also get some fun and cool poses with the satellite cannon on X too :)

[@masonmcderp2485]

Kind of upset that it didn't come with a stand, but it's a great looking kit

[@raffyignacio4649]

That holding hand without slot is for holding shield but shield is totally inserted to the elbow peg

[@ButtersGettingHard]

The story at the end about the ebay kit just crushed me. I still hate ordering online just for fear of either getting ripped off or just having my parcel go missing or stolen because I know I would feel just as bad, even if its only $45 today lol

[@fluffyssj2693]

The only time I shop online is with Amazon

[@magnusprime27]

love your channel and vids and reviews..having done mg for awhile. I feel personally like having to replace parts of the hands is a step back and feels like a 144 hg and not a mastergrade. what are your thoughts?

[@ZakuAurelius]

I prefer it! Actually, I with we had separate full hands to switch, rather than switching just the fingers. anyway, I don't like articulated fingers much cause there's just not really any point. fixed pose hands are more reliable and easier to clean up and paint.

[@gunpla_kang]

u should totally get the g falcon for a fun rando build!!! plus the nostalgia 🤷‍♂️

[@omniswagg]

What connection for action base stand should I use? All the ones it come with don't fit

[@solusprime8143]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to make the reflector panels shine brighter, aside from the reflective paper it comes with?

[@petertwigg7895]

Use a chrome paint behind the clear parts

[@jonspectre1103]

I think the unslotted hand was left over from the gx. the gx had one satellite cannon that I think he could hold on to

[@gundamgamer7060]

I plan to get a master grade kit at some point, bur I'm not sure what to get as my fist MG kit. Any suggestions?

[@code3802]

D Beat dude just get any, you'll be getting more trust me. All of their instructions are clear and easy to follow.

[@gundamgamer7060]

In that case I'll go for the MG Fenice Rinascita.

[@ApenBaard]

D Beat hey how was it?:D did you build the mg fenice like you were planning?

[@raffyignacio4649]

It's like Aile strike holding his shield at the same time it is inserted to the arms,

[@Etheoxa]

Pretty nice Zaku! By the way, will you ever do videos on your customs?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Keosermer Yes! Next week there will be videos showing off the completed Jagd Doga and XekuSchweifstern builds!

[@bunnyfreakz]

MG DX is glorious

[@tyewood1081]

I think it's cool how you give a honest review and don't just talk up the kit to try and please your sponsor. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@ZakuAurelius]

You're welcome! Yeah, I'm really lucky to have such a supportive sponsor! They don't put any stipulations on what I should say in my reviews or whatever. It's really a pleasure working with them!

[@michaelfarrell7133]

that extra hand with no slot is for the x gundam satellite cannon

[@christecson4107]

From scale 1-10 how well do you recomend this?

[@ZakuAurelius]

9? It’s a great kit

[@Frolaire]

The only issue I really have with mine is the fact it's back heavy if the Satellite Cannon isn't deployed. That's besides all the BS with the knees. The end of the arms at the wrists looks like something should be there and it irks me a lot.

[@kornyfreakgames]

i have this kit and the legs on mine fall of at the hips so much

[@sionkim7626]

Omg yes

[@rik.2293]

The MG kit doesn't come with the additional morning star, beam spear, and weapon storage in the back? Dang, this is a downgrade compared to the HG from 96.

[@drakozero8]

Great video review ya I'm not a big fan of this Gundam my self but its a pretty nice looking kit but not going to lie this is a total pass in my opinion I would rather buy MG dark matter or that new Gold dude coming out.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Angel Torres Agreed. I kind of enjoyed the Dark Matter more. And of course the Hyaku Shiki 2.0 looks amazing!

[@Morganix01]

Aww. Sucks about that ebay story. I think everyone has that one bad seller story. You should link your sponsor under the video description as well.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Morganix01 Yeah, it was sad... And you're right! Haha, I'm not used to having a sponsor!

[@alexislim5510]

Do this kit got a extra parts?

[@gundambuilderstv8258]

The MG Aile Strikr Ver Rm has the same waist problem

[@Nirvash24]

good review

[@ZakuAurelius]

CTSVT24 Thanks!

[@DiggitySlice]

Apparently he doesnt understand how perspective of things coming towards you works

[@Rainie_Chang]

The waist joint is just horrible... I shook my head when I saw that. I got the robot damashii version of Double X, it has all the tight joints, holds together very well, the shape of the wings and the cannons look better, and overall it is much better than this mg kit. I don't think I will be getting this kit.

[@taigayuuji3483]

Well im not pretty bad right?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Nope. You’re pretty good.

[@goku8106]

""Gundam x review""👏👏👏👏

[@DavidWoods255]

This is a top 5 kit surely... the double X is so dope. right up there with mg sinanju, RG destiny, mg freedom 2 and mg strike rouge + iwsp. MY tastes may differ from yours. notable mentions go to mg wing proto, mg epyon EW ver, mg hi nu ver Ka. (actually, there isn't a ver ka I DONT like). Basically, any RG kit is great too. Bandai has been on fire for the last 5-10 years.

[@mad3237]

Daban double x put this to shame. Design wise tho.

[@Hi-sx7fb]

Make a RG (real grade)9

[@ra8200]

snooze....
