"Daddy coffin, Happy birthday edition" Sold..im going to buy it.

[@TheDarkkilla12]

I’ll get one too…..IF PBANDAI SETS STOP BEING OUT OF STOCK.

[@fusion_rev]

I still cant fathom why bandai decide to make this kit a p-bandai, I mean they would make more profit just by making this as a normal set

[@takonoko1743]

Economies of scale. Mecha already said its main body is based off the lfrith. The main kit is already selling quite well, but demand for what is essentially a recolor with a new backpack is too niche.

[@leocelestial]

As much as i hate that this thing is Pbandai, i understand why they'd go that route, more than the other Pbandai WfM kits. Unlike the Gundnode, this isn't a unique kit, it's just a recolor of the Lfrith with extra parts.

[@jacobhoang1497]

Bandai has an obsession to keep their product limited, making them more desirable. They did this with their other products as well. They marked this as Premium but it did not even have the pre-molded shell unit like the Lfrith.

[@Tunasub29]

Skill issue make more money

[@thaihungphan7255]

@@Tunasub29 nah L to you for paying for pbandai when there knock off with tenth of a price.

[@albudilol]

"Daddy casket" is wild bro 😭😭

[@wingshad0w00982]

I really love the blue shade on this, not to mention the overall profile without the gund-bits is fascinating. Its such a nice kit. Building the bits is suuuuch a pain.

[@norbertpeterrdaleon671]

I'm making a diorama with the pre-production and the Beguir-Beu and it's almost done I hope it turns out well

[@vustvaleo8068]

ah yes the perfect Gundam kit to be given as a gift on Father's Day, with the other Being the Barbatos Lupus Rex.

[@GundamSeltsam]

Nahhh💀💀

[@NHeikkinen]

"Daddy casket" had me spit out water thanks for that.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

It's the truth. Her daddy died in it

[@haxonmaxon9474]

This video dropped on my actual birthday, so the model kit of choice is nothing short of hilariously timed 😂, looks amazing!!

[@Feddyfazbearsit]

Happy birthday

[@igorpachmelniekzakuskov776]

With this thing you could propably make a completeley white prototype-esque version of bunny-Lfrith as well.

[@JoshCGorry]

Should not have been drinking my coffee during the opening. My desk now smells like coffee.

[@MrFahenheit]

Daddy casket, got me every time. Bought this myself and thought I would need to paint the bits. Thanks for confirming

[@krysmun]

the pods on the back definitely remind me of my Real Grade Sazabi (or just the Sazabi in general) even down to the little gund-bits resembling the cylindrical Fin Funnels that the Sazabi used.

[@chilly_alchemist779]

Kitbashing with this and Sazabi just got interesting

[@grip3939]

If the next MechaGaikotsu vs the Backlog series isn't Backlog Busting Bonanza, that will be disappointing

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

[@trees7812]

Wait, what the heck, I just built this yesterday! Thanks as always for the wonderful reviews!

[@MrFahenheit]

13:23 I think you can use the Ariel's bit display stand with these as well. Might be why it has a peg.

[@jessemeyer445]

Dude swear on everything I love today is my birthday then I open my feed and see this lol 😅

[@nixeonus]

finally, been wating for this kit review

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

🎉Happy Birthday! Great review on the HG Gundam Lfrith.👏

[@charlse6622]

The thrusters on the backpack look like submarines

[@Bocalt]

In the end there's going to be more pbandai kits for witch than kits from season 2

[@Hanitcal69]

I preordered this back in may. Can’t wait to get mine

[@Alucard_Claus]

Oh how I agree about those bloody stickers - had to remove 4 of them and put ones from lower line in their place, so in the end only have 2 greens left on the sheet Didn’t bother with jamming them in tho after first two failures, just layered them over the centerpiece Whilst red ones jammed in easily and nicely on active bits

[@bocatt9202]

Ive got one from the second preorder window. Looking forward to building and posing it. Would love to stick the backpack (so so sick) on the normal pink and white lfrith. The all blue/teal is a great look but i think the backpack could be even more striking if it sticks out against the base mobile suit.

[@damprat141]

As simple as it is, i absolutely love the beam rifle, it definitely looks like a sleek mass produced sci fi gun, and thats exactly what i want, a bit of painting to seperate the panels and maybe add a pop of color, and it might be one of my favorite designs

[@SILENTBULL_9er]

Niiiice another dope kit!!

[@diamondwolf6543]

Why thank you Mecha Gaikotsu, as ironicly enough today is my birthday lol I had to roll with the joke as well!

[@wanderingbufoon]

I love how the L-frith is the WFM version of the Astray line. You just get color variants.

[@Kmwildride]

Have this on pre-order at the moment, can't wait to build it

[@pyknicporpoise8121]

I love gundam markers for sticker details. Especially eye stickers

[@Rhaiden626]

daddy coffin is insane work my dude

[@leocelestial]

I love that this feels like a fusion of Gundam and grunt suit. It's a shame this thing is Pbandai but i still bought it because it's my favorite variant of the Lfrith.

[@bitetheasp]

It's a Gruntdam!

[@donotperceivethefrog]

yeah, I do wish the stickers on the gund-bits were a bit smaller, I'll probably have to pick up some more markers in different colors so I can redo them with that

[@a.p.studios8713]

I think MSVD youtube channel did a custom with the hg aerial and made a plaplate beam swore with the aerial gun effect, and dang it looks good

[@RedAxel]

I ordered this one a while ago, I can't wait to get it!

[@MrDarksol]

Okay I need to rant specifically about why this particular mass production mobile suit p***** me off that they decided to make it APB exclusive. The fact that in the prologue we had Suletta's dad pilot it, gave it his all to protect his daughter and wife, then started the Happy Birthday death trope and finally dead was a very powerful moment and since I love the Lrfith, I honestly thought we were gonna get the pre-production type just like you know most of the other gundam shows where we got the original gundam the gms the Zaku 2's all of them as standard releases right? Then which from Mercury officially ended and outside of the other grunt suits we never got the mass production type from the prolog specifically during that big battle as standard releases.....And THEN they decided to not only wait until the end of the series to finally make the pre Production type Lrfith a model kit BUT they make it a PB exclusive! Like I can understand the Manga exclusive mobile suits being PB exclusive but I don't understand why did they just randomly be like yeah let's make a good chunk of the model kits based around specific grunts even though they're not based around certain characters as PB exclusives on top of the weapons for certain characters in season 2 and now this. I have to say that the witch from Mercury line was a time where this company went way too money hungry and greedy like come on.

[@PhoenixFyre]

Weren't there just 2 as a testbed and not mass produced?

[@peridot6507]

I was really disappointed when the first season ended and there was no kit for the Lfrith Pre-production, because it was the mobile suit I was most excited for to get a kit. I'm excited to soon be buying a few, and I also think the wing binders are going to be really cool for customs where you hollow them out and have them contain things like swing-out cannons, or spare weapons or swords, or honestly a lot of things

[@fusion_rev]

8 minutes ago was crazy

[@toaquiroh3767]

Got this kit in the mail with varguil last week, love it!! Pre production fixes everything I didn’t quite like about the original lfrith design. Also I built it with the normal lfrith parts (chest and head), and tbh looks even better! Puts together the best of both designs!

[@Scorpion-iy2nt]

for the Chelonian bits, I commend you painting it in a metallic green to satisfy the finish product, and save your sanity from using the stickers

[@seasirocco3063]

I like how preproduction Lfrith has no V fin, the regular Lfrith has one (sorta), Aerial has two, and Aerial Rebuild has 3.

[@maverickjudd]

I want it but its PBandai! I have terrible luck in getting any pbandai kit and would rather not pay x2 the price.

[@usedtissuepaper42]

6:27 spittin bars 🔥🔥🔥

[@火龍頻道]

Thank Mr mecha the video title means alot to me thanks for the birthday wish

[@chromiiayt3044]

thank goodness I have a metallic green gundam marker for those gund bits

[@pearcekurosagane4868]

To be honest, when the chest part does not come with the in-mold permet score design. this shoudl've been a regular release as it makes the Lfrith more premium looking. plus the clear plastic isn't reflecting much of the sticker underneath it. still looks good nonetheless, also great review!

[@kelvin8369]

6:10 brighter and more powerful than the ex red? I’m intrigued instantly

[@Zorai99]

0:19 hey gai what your favorite gundam series

[@Sereth219]

Built 3 of these kits, love the backpacks but by the time I got to the third kit I wad not looking forward to building it again

[@pepsi_.mann.]

the double down with daddy casket is crazy

[@Franky_Sthein]

I know they are not for that, but I think of the red bits as shield bits (like the Mercurious from Gundam Wing had) and the green ones are the normal bombs/mines. I don't know, it just felt like that to me when you put one of the red ones the Rigth arm of the Lfrith.

[@AzraelThanatos]

Those stickers remind me of the ones for the Mercurius and it's upgraded form with their planet defensors...

[@Rangerfleex]

You are best at gunpla 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Ryogasempai]

It's a shame the color is so opaque, it was what caught my attention about the model at first, I was expecting a color like the Graze Ritter (Carta Corps), or at least the Lfrith UR

[@FOXZILLA5734]

Those lights look like candles

[@grip3939]

🎉🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎉🎉

[@S4soka]

Coincidentally building mine rn too lol and AAAA the GUND Bits

[@lucasseow6044]

Wow gundam lfrith xgf-01 hg is here🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@JoesGunpla]

If your metallic red Gundam Marker is running a bit transparent, you haven't shaken it and primed the nib enough.

[@phoenix4400]

I thought the stickers weren't that bad I used a part separator to push them in

[@NitroNerd309]

If you’ve got the F-91 Vital Unit twin set tucked away in your backlog, I’d love to see a review of that

[@kevingarcia6746]

Basically the same as the HG, just a recolor and a new beam rifle

[@zafkieru4343]

Hmmm wonder if you could attach Funnel effect parts or the Gund-bit stands to the backpack so you can recreate them launching out of the backpack

[@JA-Sol-]

Happy birthday normally 🥰 Happy Birthday in WFM 💀

[@JuanzerZ]

I need 2 of these!!!!

[@galaddeethememeguy7585]

You have to review the full amour gundam rx-78-1 Not the thunderbolt ver tho! Its my favorite high grade Im saving up to buy

3:14 and BOOM it’s done, wait, oh whoops.

[@nguyenmiennam7778]

Does anyone remember the video he did long time ago, where he featured two robots, big arms with individual fingers?

[@Roscodatosco]

Gotta love the lfrith

[@patrinicorevelations9738]

I absolutely love this kit, but the only issue that i have with it is the fact it doesn't come with a stand. They have a runnerless stand that comes with the calibarn and the gundnode, im paying around 35$ and they couldn't even put one in the box. If you want to put the backpack in any sort of pose it needs to be on a stand. I ended up 3d printing one because i didnt want to buy one lol

[@MaryPTY]

its the Space Oomf MS!

[@asphaltr76]

YEESSS!!! FINALLY!!! i've waited this model kit since i saw the prologue. I want to buy this model kit, i really want it. My favourite gundam and gunpla. Question: This is a limited edition or official launch or early????

[@thebekmanz]

I wonder how expensive the shell unit would be to produce? Maybe bandai figures because it's not available everywhere they figured they could cheapen up but... It's P-Bandai so the molded shell unit should've just been included 🤷

[@ericjones4120]

High grade Daddy casket is crazy😂😂😂

[@eidluz9045]

Just use wooden toothpicks to scrape excess markers it'll be less harm to the plastic

[@djdazzydeaf7568]

I'm curious if there a way of combining the Nightingale effect part from P-Bandai with this kit🤔

[@DeathB4Dishonr]

Are we going to see a review of the RG RX-93ff soon?

[@dylanconnelly9845]

Wait they didn't give this thing the shell units with the pattern printed on it the damn kit is basically the same as the Lfrith

[@shylotus9763]

yup, i knew it's gonna be Pbandai

[@JoysAnnMontano]

Hey Mecha Gaikotsu what gundam do you think has the best gimmick? if you think about it the back pack kinda looks like its carrying 2 caskets ⚰️

[@supsup335]

Before even watching: This is p bandai again, isn't it.

[@Soundres]

Thanks to Witch From Mercury hearing “Happy Birthday” now gives me ptsd.

[@johnsource]

daddy casket bro you didnt have to do him like that

[@Rahmantahalu30]

good review

[@AlexMorayfield]

Welp, time to add this to the buy list.

[@xxnike0629xx]

I can't help but wonder if Bandai is going to make more FM G-Witch kits or if we're going to get MGs.

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx but will you build a kit again in the end?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx In other news, I heard somewhere ....

@xxnike0629xx despite you also hating on One Piece stuff ...

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx if you win, surely you'll just gonna ...

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx gonna put an overpriced price tag onto it before you sell it on your online store LUL

[@NeoSlashott]

rip Wendy Olent too... 😭😭

[@Desmo25]

I want to get into gunpla and tamiya. What tool/build kit would you recommend?

[@hypemann8085]

This Mobile Suit deserves the name dari "bald" de Its so bald, Commander Bright could slap the back of its head camera

[@thefandomchannel7900]

Sucks it's a p-bandai but I still want it to complete the mercury family

[@LocTran-sc7mm]

i hate how expensive p-bandai kits are in my country, i really want the lfrith anavata, but that's literally 1 RG/MG worth of money

[@TheORYZIAS]

It's a "happy birthday gundam "

[@scum3981]

out of all the wfm mobile suits this is my fav I'm so mad this is pbandai 😭
