891 - HGIBO Io Frame Shiden (OOB Review)

[@philipshomevideos9833]

Once again, another great review Zak! Can't wait to own one. :)

[@levymalit3957]

LOL! I thought the review was done @ 2:01. I got fooled. Anyway, awesome and thorough review as always. Thanks Zach!

[@ZakuAurelius]

Levy Malit hah! ;) thanks!

[@AFlyingEwok]

If you got two you might be able to modify the gauntlets so they could pass as up-armored side skirts.

[@Arrowdodger]

This will be fun to army build for me eventually. I at least want two, particularly when I get the weapon set with the custom face masks.

[@helios7392]

Is this the one for the first ruysei-go cause i cant find any other

[@cissuperdroid]

Okay, I desperately need some help- I tried putting a clear coat on the Shiden's outer mono-eye visor because I was skeptical about it staying on in the long-term. Well, when I tried to clean it up so that the clear coat was ONLY on the eye itself, and not coating the entire piece, the decal came off permanently!!! Now, I have a dead Shiden, and I don't know how best to approach painting the red-and-black eye in that tiny little crater on the visor. If I could get a tip or two, that would be greatly appreciated...

[@Faalout]

Still need the tip ?

[@marvinhermoso9750]

ill be buying this kit someday :D and i would customize it :)) good job zack

[@TsorovanZero]

Since that maroon will show nub marks really easily, you should probably get a red real touch gundam marker if you're just going to snap this one. It won't make the marks disappear, but they're way less noticeable than white spots on maroon.

[@ThePonsor911]

What color panel lining would go good with the armor pieces?

[@ZakuAurelius]

black

[@gunplaray7876]

both the shiden and amida's hyakuren use the JEE-205 130mm assault rifle

[@hanminhtang9595]

should i planning build this? ( i just buy it yesterday)

[@jericm151]

hahahah oh Zach you funny son of a ... Anyway, this definitely convinced me to get this kit in the future. Good review as always =)

[@ggundamcustom7084]

How would you go about priming a ibo kit with the inner frame exposed

[@ZakuAurelius]

GGundamcustom just priming everything!

[@neilwood5081]

Great looking kit just not to stoked about the colors. Seems like it'd be fun to customize.

[@Makuknight88]

hi ZakuAurelius, do you airbrush primer or spray primer from a can? Which one is better in your opinion? Great review!

[@JuliusInRoom]

I wish i can collect all HGIBO kits i got barbatos(season1) and barbatos lupus

[@apocstrike4649]

You had me there in the beginning lol good one 👍

[@ethereal593]

beginners might get a lot of fun experiences building these kits.

[@kingscarletbuilds]

can you link me to the p-bandai version, i would like to buy it

[@TurnAGundam]

Nino Ruiz I usually get mine on eBay, TBH.

[@tomefilho3902]

Io Shiden best IBO grunt?

[@prd6617]

there are still julieta and iok reginlaze to compare too

[@fullfrontal1317]

Ronald Pradesya, my Reginlazes hands always falls off...

[@fullfrontal1317]

I have 2 partisans painted the "blade" gold and gave it to my Bael... it looks a lot better...

[@Astronopolis]

actually looks very Code Geass

[@lachlanwitten821]

O my gosh it does

[@RoosterHenningway]

was not a fan of the suit, but now that I see it put together I gotta say... pretty nice. and dat sticker sheet doe

[@maximillard]

THANK YOU! really really thank you!

[@edgeheadsuperstar02]

DO THE GEIRAIL NEXT! I love your reviews!

[@ZakuAurelius]

Lucky for you, that IS the next review!

[@edgeheadsuperstar02]

Oh yisss

[@Tuf_frijoles]

Want to get one, because of Rides badass moment

[@zar304]

Zaku how much dollars does barbatos cost where you are

[@ZakuAurelius]

about $10

[@zar304]

wow! where I am its 70 bucks

[@nightslash3535]

70$ seems too much for a HG kit. What country do you live in?

[@zar304]

Malaysia where the economy freakin sux

[@nightslash3535]

ZharFan 88 Does 70 bucks refer to USD or MYR?

[@loweffortengineering9736]

WOAHH!! A 2 minute revi... oh

[@BigYabai]

I like it but the colour is somewhat offputting. Gonna need a repaint to make it a little paler.

[@FirelordRob76]

i don't really like the colors of this (the burgundy and cream). i'll definitely be getting one to paint and customize. i also really like the idea of that massive shield. it protects the MS and could also be deployed as a barrier for mobile workers and soldiers to hide behind.

[@yoaskikaga]

Only 2 stickers?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Neil Robin Arciga that's it!

[@m.b.7560]

Best. Grunt. Suit. Ever

[@itsrifahanif]

i think i will pick this kit, get some katana or dagger, paint it black and call it ninja shiden :p

[@inactiveaccount2437]

itsrifahanif You just read my mind! =D

[@VincentHarold]

You can get the Katana from HG Barbatos and the dagger from HG Hyakuren.

[@inactiveaccount2437]

I got mine in December and I was able to make a Shinobi Shiden thanks to the HGBC Matsuri Weapon Set kunais, Bandai Hobby MS Launcher 01 Builders Parts HD katanas, and the HG IBO MS Option Set 6 two horned red visor. It looks great!

[@amraj2406]

This would fit a theme on Mars due to its reddish color

[@birumerah2896]

PLEASE !!!! BANDAI ..... 1/100 SHIDEN ....!!!!!

[@RFAurora]

I hope this mobile suit gets a 1/100 release just for the rifle and the riot shield.

[@oscillatingblade8145]

So this is basically the Jegan of the IBOverse.

[@BLAZE084]

More like the Jesta of the IBOverse (design wise they look similar). LoL! But yeah I agree with you!

[@oscillatingblade8145]

blaze084 I did initally think it was like the Dom as well, since the Tekkadan uses group flanking ambush tactics, much like a Jetstream attack. Tbh, there are several elements of staple grunt suits in the Shiden, although defo not the Zaku (Graze). Kinda makes you wonder if the Valkyries are the Goufs, since they can hold their own against the Gundams.

[@BLAZE084]

Yes! That's what I speculated as well looking at the manrodi(kapool).

[@thatrandompersona]

OMG I ACTUALLY CLICKED OFF THE VIDEO WHEN HE TROLLED US! LOL

[@TheLeyva5000]

Hey ZakuAurelius!

[@ZakuAurelius]

David Leyva hey!

[@Bocalt]

Damn kit has been on backorder on hlj for the past 4 years, its the least selling kit from ibo.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Not that it’s the least selling, it’s that Bandai hasn’t produced many for some reason

[@tieuucanh8958]

I would have liked an explanation why they decided to make these new frame instead of using the Graze's.But whatever, not the end of the world

[@smellbaddiesmedia4537]

Shigani Kanaki the shiden frame was the new frame built by teiwaz based on the hyakuri and hyakuren that's mass produced. . . Or so bandai can sell more toys. . .

[@prd6617]

based on the series, shiden are the mass production suit based on hyakuren & hyakuri, all of em using teiwaz frame which can be noticeable from the stomach area. it will be weird if tekkadan using graze frame as their mass produced grunt suit on season 2 since its exclusive only for gjallarhorn, where on season 1 graze custom (or ryusei go) that tekkadan use are basically salvaged from Orlis and Crank suit

[@yungwells6549]

I think i'll skip this 1 and go for the custom

[@christianwindfieldescalant1667]

Frame Shiden lookin like a 30 min mission kit lmao

[@musicahikaru]

nice!

[@oneguy1431]

Is it just me or the colors aren't right?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Could be my video color balance, but the plastic is definitely slightly darker than how the MS appears in the show.

[@zr5r514]

When I first saw this, I thought to myself; "Sniper custom"

[@Loosegooseirl]

That would look really cool

[@zr5r514]

+Louis Morris AND it would be ironic. A mobile sniper named Io.

[@GameAndMusicNerd]

I wanna get this, paint it matte black, give it some black pouches on the chest, and give it markings to make it look like it's part of The Shield from WWE. would pair it with a Man Rodi and a Graze with the same customization and call the group The Riot Shield

[@zen8859]

SyupendousStufful101 And a Gusion, there you go roly-poly Triple H

[@nomimomu2146]

that's it for the review 😂😂😂

[@LatencyProblem]

needs a better head tbh

[@airzgamingp3912]

oh but in my cointry is kind of cheap :)

[@matt2centerback]

That face looks like Gray Fox.

[@katsugihikari6825]

You troll us agian

[@pixiemarc78]

look like a sniper

[@LlewelynReswald]

Well, customizing it to be a sniper type suit isn't that hard.

[@neonlightillusion]

Just buy a sniper rifle then? Kotobukiya do one, or you could use the GM Sniper ll's rifle.

[@TurnAGundam]

NL I Hell, if you're skilled enough as a model builder, you could probably make your own sniper rifle for it.

[@nurdieteque1910]

hahahaha.. I'm surprise with that opening, nice joke..

[@OniFukuroMura]

first xD lelel

[@wasdwazd]

Nice meme.

[@aolmonkey]

Is it me most of those ibo kits kinda sucks in design, I mean really cheap looking robots ?

[@yeetthatmeat3235]

aolmonkey oh fuck off

[@kevinc1162]

aolmonkey yah its just you

[@slufffyg503]

aolmonkey I think that’s the point. All the gundams are supposed to look more junky because there not super high tech like in other series

[@BTR180]

That thing is ugly as sin! But it's probably a good buy to kit bash.

[@yeetthatmeat3235]

Jorge Pantoja dafuq? This and the Landman rodis are the best looking ones for me... the protagonists' ones are boring..
