Sondo you will pick up woundworth

[@chrisw5083]

Mecha Gaikotsu the metal build strike freedom seems have more reasonable price here!

[@williampratama4394]

@@chrisw5083 you have to count in the shipping cost and customs cost tho. Sometimes the item will end up much more expensive than when you buy at local stores. At my country, the customs can cost +-50% the item price, if the item cost is more than 75 USD 😂.

[@southvu8552]

Mecha Gaikotsu i still waiting for worst kits of 2018

[@ApenBaard]

@William Pratama same here except here its for anything higher than 24 euros and the costs that get calculated for us starts with adding a flat 20 euros...Its crazy. I ordered a transformer from japan last year because it wasnt available anywhere here. It was 22 euros without shipping and 25 with it. When it arrived I had to pay an aditional 26euros! -_- I even had to pay customs once for a tshirt I got for free with a subscription to something, the subscription was also on the receipt of the tshirt and they wouldnt believe the 40 euros where paid not for the tshirt.....had to pay like an aditional 38 euros to get the fucking tshirt.....while it was a free thing!. Most places that sell gundams here do overcharge by 5-20 euros, if you think of the yenprice as how expensive it should be. But thats still cheaper than getting charged by the customs.

[@theNickRYG]

Advance of Zeta has the most unique designs in Gundam hands-down, and it's criminal that Bandai haven't done more standard releases. And when they do, its usually the more "normal" looking suits. I want the wacky stuff!

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

May be the design of most AOZ suits are very big or way too complicated to make into kit form, but yeah....I wish we got more weird and unique design from AOZ

Hey Mecha, are you ever gonna check out the HG Woundwort? I got one this last Christmas and I personally love it.

[@ByronSimp-752]

Great review! Love your videos!

[@KamenIXA]

new drinking game- take a shot whenever you hear "like that" or "like so"

[@sancarlos4]

Great video! One thing you may have gotten wrong though. From my understanding, the little yellow tubes that flip out from the shoulder are are handles for other suits to grab onto. Since the booster is so powerful, it can have other suitd grab onto it and hitch a ride

[@Reasonwalker1]

Agus Bechi it use for it own to grab when it using 2 more shield booster. In mange, since it is test unit, it is mentioned in first few chapter that if it attach more equipment than normal the structure will get a lot of stress and can be damages.

[@chrisstick5403]

I have the HG and it was super nice for a HG. I'll have to get the MG, next. I have the MG 2.0 MKII, and it's pretty good, too. Too bad they don't just have a conversion kit. Thanks for another good one.

[@spikesagitta]

cool cool, my mg gundam mk II was my first MG, and it was always so solid, despite it falling from the shelf a few times

You should try the hg, more variations and it still doesent feel completely outdated today

[@jethrotest]

Is there a chance that you'll give past kits you've already reviewed your current rating system?

a few newer kits have the sliding thigh armor but not enough. The Freedom 2.0 and the kits based on it have it.

I would really buy this just for the look and all the pack that available, this kit need more care from the builder for sure like color correcting and detail

[@NekkidSnek420]

so the yellow things on the shoulders...and this is straight from the wiki..the support actuator units on the Hazel's shoulders can be fitted with either multipurpose launchers, or holding grips to help stabilize its arms while in High Mobility Form

[@ericbennett1931]

How long is the shipping?

[@arturobaranda9871]

Awesome looking gundam I want ! .-.

[@kietus]

I have this kit and I love it! My only criticism is the color inaccuracy. The lower abdomen and other areas that should be that purple-blue and the red fingers will have to be painted which can be a pain for some.

[@kliffundersen]

you going to review the G-PARTS [HRUDUDU]?

[@xess000]

I've been looking foward to this kit for last 10 years. However it ends up as a oversized "HGUC". Try the origin HGUC kit then you'll know what I mean.

[@Roy-hw1cy]

got this and the advanced hazel for 9000 yen!! pretty happy about it

[@coreyjameshaims449]

I loooove the Hazel design.. But how this was classed as an MG is surprising, at best it is a 1/100 reborn.. But just buy the HGUC version... basically the same, just with a $50 saving 😅

[@silverwolf6964]

Yo MG can you please revisit the old SEED kit like Aegis or Destiny

Ahh.....the GM Quel that have dream as a Gundam.......give him some love.....bulky Gunpla with minimal panel lining is perfect thing to custom it......just make new panel lines, detail its inner frame, if you have some skill, you can make it hatch open custom...

[@GuntPulp]

GM Quel that has been fully upgraded INTO a Gundam. You compare the specs, this is no GM Quel.

[@MegaMegaman87]

Yes the original Gundam Mark 2 2.0 is far better than that other Gundam Mark 2 that you showed in this video. I've heard that from numerous Builders all over Facebook and I personally won't touch it except maybe to use it as a clay shooting target! Targeted and firing

[@MedskiPurnamski]

Looks just like the HG... only bigger. Feels more like those 1/100 HG Gundam X figures if not for the inner frames.

5:50 i remember rrobert184 would refer to that as the three finger trigger finger split

[@GuntPulp]

I saved a whole bunch of money and went with the comparable HG Hazels and I think I made the right choice.

[@GuntPulp]

Aaaaand between when I made the above comment and this one, they announced HG Hrududus and connector joints to make the HG TTT kits modular. It's been 13 years waiting but better late than never. I def made the right choice with the HG route. I may get the MG Hazel Custom in combat deployment colors in the far flung future.

[@Snarfyy]

The slider armour in the mk II was because it had it in the anime

[@lintangwhk]

in indonesia, as P Bandai, Hazel cost as much as PG Mark II, moreover with such little gimmick and limited articulation, might as well buy that PG Mark II. Thanks Mecha, you opened my eyes as I almost put this kit in my wishlist

[@WaifuTrashWeeb]

Im guessing the 0083 MGs are all brown tier.

[@OtonashiV]

With the way your rating system is set up, the gold-tiers of today can easily become the silver or even bronze-tiers of tomorrow. In fact, some of the silver/bronze-tier kits you've reviewed were based on kits that were considered top-tier for their time, like some of the old 00/Age HGs or some late-2000's MGs. Guess that just shows how Bandai continuously improves when they care to bother. In turn, people expect more and more out of Gunpla.

[@gundampeacekeeper]

Otonashi people expect more and more because they keep improving. The moon Gundam, rg sazabi, hg barbatos, freedom and legend 2.0.

[@fernandogonzalez6759]

[@NeoSlashott]

Those legs, they are like the Back-part booster piece. And the main backpacks the middle and top are like Chest-armor pieces. Lol xD Parts-ception.

[@DariusVladimirAuditore]

It's kinda sad that they didn't put as much effort to a Gundam as popular as this as well as making it P-Bandai. It would have been interesting to see a full development of this kit, closer to the manga artwork. I mean I know the Hazel has an insane amount of tiny details, but I think that something better could have been done if this was a mass retail kit.

[@xSkye629x]

It's actually not that popular. It's just popular online among the hobby circles on YT or forums that pay attention to, and see, all things Gundam related. For general audiences who mainly watch the shows and/or buy a kit here and there it's pretty low on the radar

[@xs3tsunax]

@@xSkye629x have you seen those photos of people literally buys dozen of woundwort kits? tell me its not popular as so far they makes at least 7 aoz kits

[@xSkye629x]

xs3tsunax There’s only 2 reasons to buy that many kits: 1. Tons of custom projects in mind- 2- Resell for easy profits- Neither of those are behaviors of your average consumer, nor do photos of a few individuals reflect the entire population. The main AoZ releases, namely the HGUC Hazels and Quel are easy/cheap remold fodder (one Hazel easily makes 2 more with minor changes, and the Quel was a retool of another GM kit). This MG Hazel in PBandai clearly reflects what its makers thinks of its sale potential as well as the amount of effort they need to make a half-assed cashgrab. The Woundworts quality stands only on the fact Bandai had nothing they could retool into it, given its unique design

[@chatspam1238]

@@xSkye629x it actually is that popular though based on sales at least since they re released/ offered it thrice last year according to my pbandai supplier. And honestly sales is all that matters to bandai anyway.
