One Graze, Two Graze Red Graze, Blue Graze

[@aznable1000]

That rifle is definitely using physical ammo. In IBO, anti beam technology literally wipe out all usage of beam weapons. That's why no one is using any sort of beam weapon in the show (so far). Beam weapons simply don't work. I really can't decide whether to by the normal Graze or the Graze Kai. I like Kai's head design more but normal Graze's backpack looks better than the new one in my book.

[@Etherdave]

The important idea here is that Bandai seems genuine in their commitment to provide better and better-designed kits in 1/144 scale, at surprisingly low prices. Obviously the inner frames are all based on a common design, which explains the interchangeability of parts between kits, regardless of any modeler's wish to actually do so. In the case of loose joints owing to plastic-on-plastic or plastic-on-polycap design, a little white glue diluted with water seems to solve any problem. As anyone might guess, there will most definitely be 1/100 scale kits in this series, as Bandai receives huge publicity and promotion from master builders preferring this larger scale. If Bandai were to increase the size of their sticker sheet, or offer more clear plastic, these kits would be even closer to the quality level of the Real Grade, which is remarkable given the RG's considerably higher priceline.

[@QuantaSolace]

I love the design. It looks more like a cross between a Leo and the mechs from Full Metal Panic.

[@TheGearblood1991]

i really like the graze its design reminds me of armor core and i'm hoping we see a lot of variants of it with the same inner frame. although i don't really see a zaku in it besides the weaponry it looks more like a leo especially from the waist down.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

got this in the mail this morning and just finished building it. all of the yellow stickers I painted instead and it looks awesome. I love it.

[@ramandikaadnanta9526]

Actually, they fired real bullet, not a "beam bullet" They mentioned that all MS in this series are using a physical weapons They took "medieval theme" on all IBO MS design

[@tenebrasolanum4215]

Explains the lack of beam/missile spam until the Mobile Armor showed up.

[@TheAlison1456]

I'd love to see what they were inspired by to create their designs. I wonder if it will appear on the artbook if they ever make one?

[@jaypeterman9721]

I would think the graze has more in common with the Leo than the Zaku II

[@flamestoyershadowkill6400]

It's a combo

[@datto240z]

The thruster arrangement is either for space use or ground use. On its back is for space..on its behind is for ground.

[@Grimmlocked]

so needed to Salvage my graze Kai after a painting mishap.... new to gunpla so I think I'll stick to high grades because getting another graze won't break the bank. love your videos!

[@WriterPlaysMTG]

What’s better than one zaku? A billion.

[@lemeres2478]

No actual knowledge of the show's design, I would imagine that the difference between the upper and lower jets might be the difference between air and ground units. Air units would likely prefer the thrusters to be center mass so it is easier to accellerate the entire frame at once. But that would make it top heavy, which would be a problem in ground based melee (and the graze can be dedicated enough to that to carry those axes). So the hip thrusters are just there for air drops and basic climbing jumps for mobility.

[@Arrowdodger]

from the weapon set, if nothing else, the shield is meant for the Graze, and the Schwalbe uses the lance, yeah, so it probably fits on this one, too.

[@vivetuvidaliveyourlife794]

For real thank you for all your information videos and tips you are one of the best in gundam information

[@ZakuAurelius]

You’re welcome!

[@thatonephilguy]

Love the look of this kit!

[@gundamgamer7060]

wow, I just realized that G-tekketsu is the ONLY Gundam series that absolutely no beam-related weapons.

[@SAK310]

D Beat *cough* *cough* Hashmal *cough* *cough*

[@gundamgamer7060]

I wrote that back during Season 1. Hashmal didn't exist back then.

[@lamdzungbui4233]

this is a very cool gundam

[@jericm151]

I bought the Graze and the Graze Kai. hopefully, I will be able to use it in the upcoming competition.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

I didn't expect that you would put the Graze boosters into the holes on the backpack, I'm surprised they fit there actually. I was talking about how those boosters can fit into the holes in the Barbatos' back that it's backpack is pegged into.

[@kingbarrythegreat]

i all ways thought that this was a baby of a zaku and a leo

[@EchoOddity]

I found my left hand on my graze to be too stiff and when i try to angle it to hold the axe i pop the wrist parts off, i don't have that problem with the right hand but the wrist connection is a little tight on the shield

[@skuffles]

This design really reminds me of the Zedas from Gundam Age having a baby with a Zaku :)

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I know that shoulder armor from the Graze to the Barbatos looks kinda strange, but that's how it appeared in the show (at least for a bit) It was after the very first fight I believe

[@meganium131]

I like the design of this kit but the only negatives are the weird stiletto heels. graze in fixed that really well

[@Arrowdodger]

Going by the show, it's just a machine gun, not any kind of beam weapon.

[@akuguy6531]

20:17 Barbatos MG: You´re wrong lol

[@alessandroposla3277]

Nice this barbatos kit line....

[@jazzedupsax8592]

+ZakuAurelius I know you have seen the Barbatos' sticker sheet on the 1/100. I'm not feeling the yellow parts on the 1/100 Graze will be parts.

[@OtherMomo]

There are no beam weapons in ibo, that tech was long unused. Unless of course you dig up an ancient machine piloted by the spirit of Hitler, lmao

[@Meelmox]

i need to get this model.

[@jazzedupsax8592]

AWESOME!!!

[@SpiralOther]

a tip to those who own this be really carefull with the frame part that connects the side skirts

[@kimpretzel4485]

Let me guess, you broke it?

[@SpiralOther]

@@kimpretzel4485 its been 5 years, and i still standby that bandai shouldve used a balljoint or a thicker peg

[@lisa-hi9wf]

Really good

[@Bromunculi]

the gun fires live rounds

[@OtonashiV]

The wrist joints on both my regular and schwalbe graze are tight.

[@alexelam1127]

that feed mechanism for the gun looks a bit odd. I wonder if it's designed to have some form of ammo selector? being on the side of the wrist would make a jam or explosion pretty catastrophic. Still the kit is friggin awesome, I'm still holding out for the 1/100 though

[@OCKOMUS]

Do you know if the MS Cannon 01 will fit in either of the back peg holes on the Graze?

[@ZakuAurelius]

I'm not 100% sure without checking. But I think it would.

[@gunplaray7876]

I dont know why when I watch a review of this kit it looks olive green but then when I look at my copy of the graze it is a mossy green. huh I just find it wierd. but overall it is a really nicely design grunt suit and Im liking it alot right now.

[@Stanosaurus]

this cool soldier is wearing a stiletto hills... what a strong guy!

[@Arrowdodger]

To me, it kind of looks like a Leo had a baby with an Armored Core mech or a Gernsback.

[@owene2530]

This shit aint so cheap now

[@Noisemaze1]

Reminds me more of a Leo than a Zaku. Might just be me though.

[@kuztro02]

Can the Graze Kai Option parts be attached to the Standard Graze?

[@ZakuAurelius]

+kuztro02 Absolutely!

[@kuztro02]

Thanks! Love your reviews and tutorials by the way. More power to you man!

[@MrAleksanderx1]

no cockpit?

[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

[@winatas]

[@Bocalt]
