715 - RG Gundam 00 Qan[t] (OOB Review)

Here's the Real-Grade 1/144 scale Gundam 00 Qan[t]. This is another super nice RG kit here, with great articulation, perfect amount of details, nice part separation, and loads of options to do with the weapons! I'm still coming around to the design in general, but the kit itself is superb!
Thanks as always to MindFenix Hobby Store for getting me this kit to share with you guys!

[@lammatt]

how about if there're six of them?

[@gilbertberger7234]

For anyone who may not know. When the two GN drives are lined up it allows the Qan(T) to use Quantum Burst. In the movie this was used to communicate with the aliens via quantum brainwaves. I don't know if provides an offensive or defense boost, just that it gives everyone in the vicinity a shared consciousness.

[@AmaryInkawult]

Gilbert Berger now I want to try it with 3 drives more than ever. Time for some SCIENCE!

[@matt2centerback]

3 GN Drives would probably let you say hi to Cthulu, lol

[@redjack2629]

It also allows it to teleport an unknown, but incredibly long, distance when paired with the GN bits, and the gate they can make. All the way to the ELS homeworld.

[@SpiralOther]

The whole communating with aliens thing is not for offense nor defense since the suits primary goal is for greater understanding between sentient beings I say this while the suit has a buster rifle, which is ironic

[@Mythicalmage]

The shield does have a second GN drive and combining them let's you teleport to Jupiter or something.

[@ZakuAurelius]

lol hahaha

[@Wan2Tiger]

+ZakuAurelius it's true. 😂

[@gilbertberger7234]

Not just Jupiter, I think it's a wormhole or something like that to transport anywhere in space much quicker than conventional methods.

[@weberman173]

well. iirc it was more like that the Drives of the Quant where especialy designed to be used in Twin Drive(unlike 00 and his drives(0 Gundam and Exias) who just barely managed to go over the safety part of the Twin Drive activation)so they where more powerfull out of the box , and the direct Connection of the Two drives amplified the GN Particel Production even further which lead to such an amount of Particels Being Released that he just... kinda achived Lightspeed....

[@AmaryInkawult]

What happens when you have 3 drives? Think of the potential cross-over specials!

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I like this kit a lot, but the 00 Raiser is still my favorite RG kit

[@ZakuAurelius]

that kit is great!

[@Lolsocialism]

5 years after, is the RG still holding up?

[@iv2171]

the upper arms joint became loose overtime,the other part still holding up pretty well

Great review, awesome model. It actually appears less than 5 minutes in the movie. Hahahaha

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

I'm glad you noticed that the arms aren't suppose to be symmetrical but there's a white part from the D Runner that goes on the back of the left arm so I hope you didn't already lose that part.

[@ZakuAurelius]

haha, no I have that and I fixed it later! I was wondering about that!

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

ZakuAurelius yeah on one page they show the armor assembly of the right arm and then on the next page they show the armor assembly of the left arm and since they give you doubles of both those runners I can totally see how it would be easy to get confused about that.

[@user-sp9po5qi9q]

The Dorito torso proportions are hilarious! Great review.

[@streum13]

I have all Setsuna's MS: NG 1/100 Exia Trans AM mode, PG 00 Raiser all painted and water slide decals. Also the MG Quan[T] to do. For the other Gundam Meisters I have all in NG 1/100 Seravee, Arios and Cherudim in Designer's colors. Of course I have all water slides decals already for the kits (stickers are awful) I have to do but for now I'm focusing on my Zeta and ZZ kits. Done painted and water slided: MG Zeta (my second Gunpla and the first kit I painted with Tamiya Bombs before I got my airbrush) and MG Hyaku Shiki 1.0. Building now: MG RX178 Mark II 2.0, got rid of some seam lines, primer them and also the white pieces. To do: MG ZZ Full Armor and Qubeley MKII. I just need the water slides for those two. On a side note I hate modifying my kits except for some detailing. When I buy a Gunpla it's just like when I'm buying a figure, I want it to stick as closely to the original. I just paint, panel line, a bit of weathering but not too much, water slide, top coat them to give them a realistic look.

[@ivanmikael97]

There would be a p-bandai release of the full saber variant! 😀

[@labyrinth-kun6275]

00 qan t is a really cool mobile suit. Such a shame it's got so little of a screentime

[@austinftwXD]

As a huge UC fanboy, who hasn't been very impressed with most of the other series ( Even wing which got me into gundam originally). I thought OO was fantastic, it felt like a complete story almost of UC level. unfortunately awakening of the trailblazer left me a bit confused, and the lack of on screen time for the Qan T was a letdown.

[@gilbertberger7234]

I don't think the 00 Qan (T) was meant to actually fight. It was made strictly to utilize the Twin Drive System to communicate with other life forms using Quantum Brainwaves. That said, I also was letdown by the Qan (T)'s screen time.

[@SpiralOther]

zaku you may have built it wrong has the lower arms do not have 2 "gauntlets" only one i do like that you can make this kit symmetrical

[@JoyousBoyous]

the left arm is supposed to not have the blue forearm bit. its supposed to be less armored to balance out that massive shield i guess??

[@balgus82]

Strange that it has those shields on both forearms. The original only had that on the right arm.

[@ReRoute25]

The blue and white forearm part was mirrorred so you can either have it symmetric, too bad for the shoulder unless you did not attach the shoulder tip

[@madaratobi321]

Router25 they are actually selling the an extra sword that goes on the right shoulder. you can exchange the sword with a spare shield, but that would obviously cost more than youv want it to.

[@arnelcabanit]

this review is awesome...now i know a lot in this kit

[@umbijohn1446]

Awesome review dude. The "Shoulder Pack" on the kit is it's shield btw. lol

[@anthonypascua4878]

Hey Zak. Should I buy this even if I already own the HG version? Which was also a very good kit by the way.

[@thiagomonteiro41]

In my opinion, you should get this kit. Based on all the reviews I watched, this RG is really, really good. Posing, articulation, details, stiffness - everything is good! Of course, you can find minor problems here and there, but nothing enough to skip this kit. Hope I have helped you :)

[@j.moon98]

Get the RG. I bought the HG and while I like it, I really should have waited for the RG.

[@ZakuAurelius]

I haven't built the HG, so I don't know how good it is. But I'm sure this is at least As good, but probably better in a lot of ways. Definitely worth the $25-30 if you're a fan of this Gundam.

[@anthonypascua4878]

+ZakuAurelius Thanks man. I usually skip RG kits if I already have an HG version of it. Since I don't have an HG Sinanju, I'm considering getting the RG version.

What action base did you use with the mobile suit?

[@kramsogrub8104]

does the joints of this easy to loose? like the arms and legs?

[@duyanh8981]

My Qant head also kinda loose and very easy to pop off maybe because it hole is little bit bigger for the ball joint to fit in . Is there any solution for that ??

[@nebandekimnae7447]

Super glue? You can super glue the head to the joint, but it won't move. Sorry I couldn't be much help

[@inferno1234561]

you forgot the gm..gn?........the green circle. the green circle on its backpack can come out and it looks kind of cool. you could as a joke have the 00Q hold it like a soda can lol

[@R_Caine]

I might just do that. Hehehe.

[@thiagomonteiro41]

Don't worry about -haters- people worrying about the completeness of the review. Aside those grips on the GN bits, is there another loose parts? Thanks for another great review.

[@ZakuAurelius]

As you could see, the head popped off kinda easily while trying to show the articulation. other than that no problems.

[@shiranui498]

Can the GN bits be held in the reverse like the GN daggers for Exia?

[@ZakuAurelius]

yeah sure!

[@madaratobi321]

my Quanta's faceplate and crown thing keeps falling off yours doesn't seem lose.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah I didn't notice that problem.

[@lupingunpla9249]

Want to ask, does RG OO Qant have an issue in the GN Shield connection area? Because mine is very loose

[@izzy2350]

What kind of action base is that? I’ve been looking a clear one just like the one used in the video

[@ZakuAurelius]

Kotobukiya Flying Base R

[@samuelkurniawan1383]

What i do like from 00 series is their head design, i watch other gundam series, so far for me the head 00 series is far more beautifull from all gundam franchies.

Dammit now I notice the sound even more :D. Gets kinda creepy with headphones when it feels like you are behind my left ear. :D

[@ZakuAurelius]

lol, sorry~~~

[@edwins8561]

Is HG high grade? What is the grading I don't understand. I have a HG and a MG. please help

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yep HG is High Grade. You can check out the first video in my Gunpla Building playlist where I explained the grades!

[@matt2centerback]

High Grade: 1/144 scale, within the $10-30 range, simple, smol, snap together build Master Grade: 1/100 scale, within the $30-70 range, somewhat more complicated and usually with mechanical gimmicks, somewhat larger, snap together build Real Grade: 1/144 scale, pretty much a Master Grade but with High Grade size and price, snap together build Perfect Grade: 1/60 scale, usually hundreds of dollars, stupidly but amazingly complicated, detailed and gimmicky, stupidly huge, requires painting and specialized tools to assemble RE/100: 1/100 scale, MG price range, but not as complicated as Master Grades, MG size, most Mobile Suits in this line are somewhat unknown and sometimes huge in-universe, snap together build

[@Chimeratech8]

The head on mine is a problem. Never really secure, always comes off when I'm rotating it unless I actively press down on it. Looks similar to the issue that RG Sinanju has.

[@dr.johnh.watson2444]

the 00 qant is the one of two ms I like from OO the rest is just ok

[@youaresomethingstrange9253]

heh so my shield on my quanta became loose (the blue peg that connects the shield to the backpack on that grey thing) after trying to swivel it around to get it to look good on the back does anyone know how to fix it :3

[@npc6817]

two layers of flat coat should also do the trick in a safer way since they increase friction instead of just making it thicker. go for four layers if two arent enough

[@Krakenium]

Hey Zach! Were can we find this clear color hexagon action stand?

[@jhonanderson3784]

obviously the store... stupid

[@ZakuAurelius]

Kotobukiya Flying Base R. A quick Google search should give you plenty of results. HLJ or Amazon probably being your best options.

[@Krakenium]

ZakuAurelius Thanks a lot!

[@pyron674]

Such a shame though that the RG didn't have the Quantum burst Gimmick. The MG version has it.

[@travisalpasa]

Only the Metal Build can execute the Burst Mode properly. The MG's chest Condenser doesn't pop out.

[@joshuaknox2724]

[@RoosterHenningway]

I like preemptively staving off the 00 fans, but on that note have you considered checking out the rg astrea?

[@ZakuAurelius]

I like the Astraea design! So I have the HG of the standard and F-type. But not interested so much in the RG. The more details and part separation is cool, but HGs have more weapons and better proportions in my opinion.

[@RoosterHenningway]

+ZakuAurelius I can get, that. cheaper option too lol

Good review. Have you seen the pictures of the HG 00 Qan[t] Kai from the GBFT special that'll be coming out? Any thoughts about how it'll compare to the original Quanta, since Shia replaced the GN Sword V and the sword bits? I always thought the GN Sword V's Buster Sword looks a little goofy, being so long and flat. The other kits of interest to me are the Scramble, also from the GBFT special, and the new Barbatos Lupis, which I think will be to season 2 what the first Barbatos kit was to season 1. Mid-season upgrades, right? No new Grimgerde yet, however the new enemy mobile suit has a more unique design for the Gundam franchise. And as usual, no extra posing hands yet.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah I talked about the HG Shia Qant in my last Gunpla News series and in the live stream yesterday.
