Suhan Hwang cough cough the Gm II is always going to be garbage no mattered how hard you tried to improved it through different variants.

[@jacobpdeleon2747]

@@MrRe-pg7fj How about the jesta?

[@holden_7597]

Jacob Pagala De Leon the Jesta is a high performing mobile suit. It only lost to stronger mobile suits. (Unicorn, Sinanju)

5 seconds of screen time Vs a life time on my shelf ♥️♥️♥️

[@Dogasupreme]

Except you won't be able to get it that easily. Even with Proxy-Buying Server stuffs. Why? Because you'll have to (Manually For every Kit you wanna buy) file a request to unlock your desired Shipping Location. At least, that's my experience.. then there are shipping and Service fees. So basically: the Kit you wanna buy is only 50€? Fuck you! 100+ Euro!!

[@jieqiiii]

I really like mecha's reviews cos of how fast paced and interesting he makes the kits sound! It's entertaining!

[@rinz5027]

please do some Tiered Showcase. Like showing off your fav top 5 gundarium tier Kits, top 5 Gold Tier kits and such. Would really like to see some of those again.

[@bricynbryanmadarang5063]

You should try the HIGH GRADE UNIVERSAL CENTURY GM STRIKER, it's really good 🙂

[@gundamfan7541]

[@bricynbryanmadarang5063]

Haha you should build it yourself, it's really good.

[@pilotamurorei]

no, Gustav karl or you are an idiot.

[@cissuperdroid]

Just got this kit in last week! Very cool to have, as I much prefer the stripped-down style of the grunt suits; this is more of a rarity for me since I usually go Zeon with my MG's! It's nice because the bazooka is the Jegan bazooka, and can be given to the MG Jegan for more options! Also, any issues with looseness of weapon-holding can be fixed with a little bit of putty ;)

[@gaogeren9054]

I have a gm II, i have a gm striker : gm semi striker!

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Haven’t heard that in a while 😂

[@HgKim-dc6cg]

1:16 you really should. the 2.0 lineup of gundam, gm, zaku, gelgoog, and zgok are a masterpiece

[@D.Snom.]

My only justification for buying it is because I’ve never owned the GM ii as a master grade and I don’t really understand Bandai never released at least one of them as regular release

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

Astray Noir it’s called milking the money out of unicorn.

I think its a better deal tbh cause you get more accessories and more options

This looks great. Mine comes in tomorrow cant wait

[@NeoSlashott]

Good to see you test out smartphone led-flash light-piping on the back of the head-part. Foil-stickers would be nice if you put underneath the front visor for shiner effect... just like the HG-Overflag kit with foil-sticker inside the orange-face part.

😭😭😭 I WANT THAT LOUD SO BAD! IT LOOKS SO COOL!!!

[@tronlives1004]

The only Master Grade i have is the Full armor Unicorn which is staying in its box where it definitely needs to be.

[@BananaBurgler]

It Reminds Me Of The Zaku Half Cannon Because It Has A Zaku II As It’s Base And It Has Parts From The Zaku Cannon

[@OurDeepSpace]

Счастье - это не обладание тем, чего желаешь, а желание того, чем обладаешь.

[@RedCometNurse]

I have this kit. Definitely a fun build. I gave the bazooka to my regular Unicorn GM II so it looks like the one from the beginning of Ep 4. This kit is a little underwhelming. I wish it had the regular shield parts. An unnecessary exclusion for sure.

[@ethanspaziani1070]

I would really like to see this I want you to put together the most cool ass looking version that you can with the best weapons out of all of them and the best armor to see what you get I'm really interested I would do it myself but I just can't afford it I can't even afford to get one of these things by themselves ..

[@alvinshaw33]

Man i need to do a nother MG. Last MG i did was an old blue frame.

[@fos-kun4688]

It's kinda a shame that one of the best looking GMs have little screen time and becoming P-Bandai

[@OuroborosChoked]

I wonder if Mecha Gaikotsu has noticed yet that his Semi Striker's head wasn't assembled quite right. The round things on the side of the head... the right one is facing the wrong way. The three vents (or whatever they are) on both sides should be facing forward.

[@seanwilliams5711]

Why the hell didn't bandai just give us a gm striker? What was the point of this? The Lance is the only thing that makes this kit appealing

[@supergeno128ds]

Probably because making some new parts to make a variant is much easier than making a whole new kit. Plus Unicorn stuff sells like crazy.

[@seanwilliams5711]

@@supergeno128ds this is what I hate a lot about p ban at times, I miss the glory days of mg, tbh I'm glad we are set to get a lot of reg releases this year in the mg line so far but still we get bombarded with p bans

[@supergeno128ds]

@@seanwilliams5711 OH I couldn't agree more! All of those SHOULD have been standard releases! They're all really popular designs and I have NO FREAKING CLUE why they went the P-Bandai route with them! If you ask me, they should have made the "original" Ver Ka designs (that were never animated) P-Bandai since... THEY WERE NEVER ANIMATED, and released the EW designs as normal releases since they HAD been animated!

[@vincentalpiepedrozo2337]

wow so premium.

I like how the spear is pretty much like strapping a short sword to a pole to use as a make shift swinging spear (Yes I know you can swing a normal spear but you won't get much affect out of it) Or in some case strapping a hatchet and a sword sword to a pole to make a halberd

You would think it would be a RE/100 kit considering how little screen time it got

The 2.o MG's are meant to look anime accurate, and people are bitching about the MG 2.0 Alex saying it looks to anime accurate. People forget the Nu and Sazabi Ver. Kas are NOT 2.0s.

Celestial beings fan Channel No, we need more Zeon kits like the zaku iii or the desert type. There’s a whole lot more Zeon suits that haven’t gotten any love. They’ve mostly been focusing on feddie suits, which I don’t have a problem with, but they need to release more Zeon suits

[@tiyonavaronica345]

Good. Gy

[@grip3939]

Is it P-Bandai month on this channel ?

[@HybrydATP64]

I can safely say that i recommend the original gm 2.0

[@supergeno128ds]

The GM Sniper II doesn't get much more screen time in its debut to be honest. Just a few seconds launching from the Grey Phantom and a few seconds smoldering on the ground. :( The difference I guess is that the GM Sniper II has been around longer and has appeared in a number of games and side stories- for example the pretty badass White Dingo Team.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

The white dingo team look great, especially that epic GM sniper!

[@Sketchy_2]

GMs get a shitton of love in sidestory manga and games but is just treated as cannon fodder in animated works

[@supergeno128ds]

@@MechaGaikotsu I have the MG White Dingo GM Sniper II, and its pretty awesome! Its not perfect though, since it recycles the MG Ground GM/Gundam/EZ-8 weapons, so the sniper rifle (and beam rifle technically) needs to be painted for color accuracy. I also found the weapons don't fit into the hands very well- but since the hands are the "fully poseable" ones with the fold out tab, I carefully drilled out slots into the weapons handles to make the weapons fit with the tab, so they work perfectly now.

[@angem.6717]

[@lanckston]

the twin beam spear’s design is so weird. Like, if you’re slashing with it, why have two beams? If you’re stabbing with it, why not just stab with one where you need to stab? It just doesn’t seem very necessary. I can understand one beam saber on a stick, but two?
