RAISE YOUR FLAG! - Master Grade MG Gundam Barbatos Review

[@MechaGaikotsu]

All the 8-bit Iron Blooded Orphans music in this video is by the awesome Studio Megaane. If you like anime and 8-bit like I do, you'll LOVE his channel and he's so kind for letting me use it! 😁😁😁 kzbin.info/door/L6B3WVcVHJvU2YSF-i-oUg Also grab one of these for yourself here at HLJ: shop.hlj.com/2Eys6NE And while I'm pumping out links here I'll mention that I'm $1800 out of $4000 towards my goal of upgrading the channel to 4K video, so if you want to help make that happen then you can do so over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/MechaGaikotsu

Sir I hope you do not think me being disrespectful or rude, but I feel the need to ask you a question. I have noticed there seem to be a quickly growing number of Gundarium grade kits. Are you worried that maybe your standards are falling? Once more I mean no disrespect, I'm just genuinely curious.

[@zeigald]

@@thegathman look at it the other way around. Bandai keeps upping their game with every new Gunpla release. Mecha's standards aren't dropping, Bandai's quality just keeps getting better.

Bandai: Has a frame that can be easily reused for multiple different kits and mobile suits that are beloved by fans Also Bandai: Does nothing more with it after Barbatos

[@vayalond7203]

Yeah, that's even the main thing in IBO designs: all Gundams have the same Frame, so selling MG at the MG price who all share the same inner Frame so no need of new mold or anyhting, using the exact same even in color for like 2-3 wholes runners for a possible 72 differents kits who looks gorgeous, are fan favorites too would have been easy profits

[@takonoko1743]

There's still hope something new will come out at least next year, a movie version of Urdr Hunt (with hopefully a lot of new scenes to fill the gaps after the game went EoS) is in the works as we speak.

[@orionparish9858]

Here's what I love more about the kit. The inner frame works so well because all the Gundams in Iron-Blooded Orphans used the same inner frame to build the mobile suit. Once that was done, they individualized each one into the Gundams we know while keeping the inner frame the same between them. It's why Guison and Barbatos were able to upgrade as they did. Evolve and adapt. And since there were 72 Gundam Frames built during the Calamity War, and how many we say in the anime, more are coming in the future.

Lupus and Lupus Rex wouldn't probably be PBandai if decided to drop those versions. What i think would be P-Bandai is Barbatos with all the parts to make all forms from first launch to 6th Form. Would've been nice if the Full Mechanics parts of shwalbe graze and standard graze can be equipped with the MG to complete the variants (except the 6th Form) cause i doubt they'll make an MG version of those. We'll probably see an MG of: Barbatos Lupus Barbatos Lupus Rex Bael Kimaris Vidar or an option to convert to Pbandai Vidar Gusion Rebake Full City And just to throw it out there: Gundam Astaroth/Origin

[@thorodinson4392]

Conrgrats on the 200k! Kit looks great too!

[@StrikeNoir105E]

The IBO Gundams were designed with the premise that they use a single, common frame, both in lore and on the model kits. Having the MG Gundam Frame set up means they can pump out whatever they want faster in the future, from the Gusion Rebake, to the Kimaris, to the Vidar, to the Bael, to the Flauros, etc. Also missed a couple of articulation points for the MG Barbatos here: the upper cockpit hatch actually slides forward for access, much like in the show, and the wrist has a third point of articulation that allows it to flex forward and backward (aka ulnar and radial flexion for the anatomically correct minded) that you don't see from many kits without the use of a ball joint. You even show off the latter movement in the final standing pose with the right hand, yet never mention it in the articulation review.

[@zeigald]

It's a pretty common issue with most of the reviewers regarding the MG Barbatos; no one seems to mention the lateral wrist bend.

[@AbsoluteMongoloid]

Now that you mention it, wouldn't a ball joint in the waist be worse for Flauros' transformation? Bandai might've made a better choice in that regard.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

@@AbsoluteMongoloid A noticeable trend in Bandai's recent gunpla is that for more recent advanced grades (i.e. RG's and MG's), they tend to avoid using ball joints as much as possible, only leaving them in a couple of places like say the wrist or the neck, and even then they're finding ways to eradicate them altogether, as can be seen with the MG Barbatos. You only ever see major ball joints in High Grades nowadays.

Whew finally! Been waiting for your MG barbatos review since this came out!

[@I_am-lost.]

I can't wait for a rg barbatos

[@roniporter3924]

I just got this kit as my first gunpla build and it's truly amazing. It took me about 10 hours to build start from finish and I loved evwey second of it. Already looking into my second build.

Picked him up today. Really great kit. Fun assembly and overall excellent final product.

[@arncj18]

[@bigj0550]

@@arncj18 I was lucky to find at a local comic shop. Some... very few... targets have had them as well.

the hoses on the arms also pull taught when bending the arm, so beautiful...

[@KylenPhylar]

"What's better than a Gundam with a sword? Nothing!" Excuse Y- "Except a giant mace that is!" You are forgiven. I'm really hoping for a MG Lupus Rex, but that's because I'm weird. I'll likely still pickup this one once I'm done with other large expenditures. I do look forward to a future video going over how it ages, given that seems to be a bit of an issue these days, as shown by the old 1/100 and the HiRE

[@dragondad64]

I love how the piston at the ankle is like a tendon

[@NotAsianButFlip]

They need to make an RG barbatos tbh...

[@PPPeepeepoopoo]

just asking, im still new to gunpla model kits. what so good about RG's im general. and if there were to be an RG Barbatos, what should we expect from it ?

[@Youarekenough]

@@PPPeepeepoopoo RGs are like MGs in HG's scale with really good detail, have gimmicks, and very colour accurate. Id recommend staying away from older RG kits bcs theyre not solid and gets loose. And we should expect RG barbatos to have great details, solidity, and articulation bcs the last couple of RGs are really good

[@bucketeer7087]

@@PPPeepeepoopoo RGs are supposed to capture what the gundam would look like in real life, really high in detail and the articulations are really good.

[@xtrimfuse]

@@PPPeepeepoopoo try RG Nu Gundam and RG Sazabi. You'll have some best days of your life :D

[@PPPeepeepoopoo]

@@xtrimfuse after 9 months from my initial comment on my comment, ive taken a huge interests in Gundam :D im planning to get the MGEX Unicorn soon and Nu Gundam is also in my list too :D thankss for the explanation all of you :p

[@robertdeardorff6311]

Mecha, just finished my first MG and it hjust appened to be Barbatos. Thank you for all your reviews and advice. Thank you. Wish I could post a pic of the finished assembly.

[@Gadlight]

It always make me cringe seeing the shoulder armor rised up when its supposed to be lowered down like in the 1/100....

[@soksocks]

It's just a way that some like to display there kits, it's a preference. Its probably Mechas choice for posing kits with shoulders up. I personally do both higher or lower shoulders depending on if the kit looks small or big.

[@Mystic2760]

You missed a couple points of articulation ;) The hands have the same forward/downward tilt we got with the Full Mechanics Bael and Vidar, the side thrusters on the calves can rotate as well and the sub-arms can slide up and down at the base of the backpack. The pistons in the back (though covered by the backpack) do also move with the neck and the ab crunch

[@scizorlord5126]

I feel like they'll probably include an Orga figure when they make a Lupus, and maybe an Atra or Kudelia with the Lupus Rex.

[@makeshift307]

The expansion pack coming this December is going to have orga in it, so I imagine that they might include atra and kudelia in expansion kits for the other forms, I think it would be neat to have them all, but it wouldn’t be a big deal to me if we just get orga and the pilots for the individual gundams.

[@Zambles]

I love my 1/100 lupus rex and had literally no idea it wasent a MG, now im omega level hyped for a mg lupus rex. I cant get enough ibo gundams but lupus rex is by far my favorite gundam. Thank you for bringing this hope to me.

[@jiggs7129]

So I'm guessin Dynames vs Barbie for top Kit of 2019.

[@mjso9679]

Where did you get full mechanics parts for barbatos 1st form?

[@Ykcdiamondrex]

Me: Alright these three gunpla should be fine Gaikotsu: This is GUNDARIUM TIER Me: Huh, welp my back log is gonna increase now
