HG 1/144 Blazing Gundam Review | GUNDAM BREAKER BATTLOGUE

[@riffska]

I've seen reviews of this thing already but somehow Mecha's equipment makes this thing look so sick, kinda convinced to get it now :')

[@TheSageDarius]

I rarely disagree with Mecha, but I do on this one. The Blazing Gundam is fantastic, and it gets a hearty recommend from me. The Command Qan[t] is great as well. I just didn't care for the Livelance Heaven.

[@riffska]

@@TheSageDarius Oh yea the qant command is just *chef's kiss*

[@mariaragonese2543]

@@riffska I got it and the gundam[G] urban assault type. I'm pretty excited

[@mariaragonese2543]

@@riffska the command. Not this one in the video

[@LordofCicadas]

Really, the worst thing about it is that it costs the same as all the other Battlogue sets, despite having significantly less going on. If the Perfect Strike Freedom is $26, then this should only be $13-$16.

[@QwErTy-cw6fh]

The ironic thing is that the HGFC Shining Gundam had better articulation than it's own supposed upgrade. IIRC, the Shining had double jointed elbows, which is honestly baffling that the God Gundam didn't have normally.

[@Boyoyoable]

Funny thing is it came out after the god gundam hg so it was newer

[@Matanumi]

that's what happens when the popular upgrade kit comes out first. I still think the HGCE freedom is ass....SF is a bit better but IJ is the king of CE suits. Windam is good looking but with shitty wrist joints and yet the dagger L is grunt perfection

[@markandrewposa]

@@Matanumi infinite justice is still pink. lol.

[@waderoberts3701]

Those elbows are why the upcoming RG God Gundam is a... Godsend.

[@ronaldzamora8850]

Not exactly an Upgrade, God Gundam is a separate unit from Shining Gundam although Domon claim it as 'reincarnation' of Shining.

[@socksandsandalsstudios]

I loved this anime to DEATH! Sad it only had 6 episodes... I am def going to buy this model kit.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

My favorite in the line is the Astray RF Inversion It actually has new shoulder joints They are balljoints instead of polycaps

[@Sotau890]

True it same as hg astray m1

[@miguelmacapugay6340]

Mine’s loose tho 😑

[@Neoncollects]

I have built the Helios and Astray inversion so far.. I was expecting to like the astray kit better but after I got done with it, I was just kinda mehhh.The Helios is a solid kit though, catches my eye more than the astray

[@jonathangarza1656]

@@Neoncollects i fully painted mine to be two tone green and the black armor a gunmetal color and did a lot of derail painting. It look like a real grade. So its a inverted green frame.

[@Neoncollects]

@@jonathangarza1656 nice! I bet it looks good!

[@steel749]

7:45 *You may have those silver feet but I got these gold fingers!*

[@BareFool]

This kit would've benefitted from effect parts akin to that of the Build/Try/Kamiki Burning kits (matching the color of the blazing foot), even just the EF3-1 and EF3-6 parts. Still looks nice, though.

[@tenkowolf8325]

Yes the Crimson Gouf Custom was a awesome kit. It's also my favorite kit. I also have this kit as well. Can't wait to build it.

[@AngeMaru486]

Definitely my favorite among the recolors

[@tiberiusgrey1529]

They basically took god gundam's gauntlets and used it as a ankle armor and miniaturized its wings and use them as its gauntlets. Should have color swap the red kick effect from build burning gundam instead of a transparent foot.

[@KingJae55]

Quite unfortunate about the shining foot part because this was the one kit I was most excited about since the God Gundam is my favorite Gundam ever 🥲

[@ry0usama511]

Dont worry, we can hope RG Burning will be legendary

[@churchmeister3852]

Hey don't let it dissuade you from getting it! I got one before seeing this review and I still like the way it looks regardless 👍

[@JoseRoberto-dk3yy]

I like the G Gundam units (Shining, Master, etc.) and some variants from Build Fighters like Try Burning and Kamiki Burning for their flaming effects, but this Burning gives me a balance of pros (weapons, helmet change like Shining) and cons (only a kick effect, basic design compared with other Fighter Gundam units).

[@redwardranger7034]

I've built the HG God Gundam before and ro be honest, the only thing I didn't like abouy that kit is the core lander boosters doesn't go down and the elbows are single jointed. Despite that, HG God Gundam is still awesome, and I'm happy Domon's Gundam is getting more attention. Now, I'm really hoping Maxter Gundam would be revived.

[@eomersimbajon2938]

Love how you used the thumbnail (of the episode) as the thumbnail pose for this vid, awesome

[@jehovenjrjizdeortega8224]

I'm itching to see you review the Barbataurus! Haven't found any good reviews on that so far and it's my upcoming kit. Thanks for the great reviews as always!

[@ReRoute25]

I hope they make a revive God Gundam even if the RG is on its way.

[@SM-zn6rf]

This, the Build Burning, and the Star Burning is the Spider Man No Way Home of Gundam

[@mr.k7739]

can't wait to see the Perfect Strike Freedom

[@haresudesuhobby]

I've seen so many reviewers praising it because of the overall quality and very few stickers. Hope it'll get golden tier or above! ^^

[@fishpop]

Kinda funny how all the promo images and the box show her kicking with her right foot when she always used her left in the anime. :P

[@mishakikinadze9228]

It has a moving buttflap gimmick. That's why you put a polycap there

[@SgtPotShot]

7:46 "Careful, he might hit us with his glowing toe!"

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

I wish they would have gave a full second head so you can swap it with ease and not worry about braking a part

[@bee-beargaming]

The burning gundam is one of my favorite designs so I absolutely love this kit.

[@ChiruYES]

If I was making this custom, I would take the wing segments on the arms further. Rotate them so they’re flat against the arm, then when they open up they could’ve made an energy shield effect like the God Gundam’s rings. Just my imagination going.

[@ZetaVec]

The original HG is solid as a rock from my experience absolutely one of my favorite HGs

[@NeoSlashott]

Brings back RX- Zeromaru the swapping mask part. And the God Corelander wings turned into both its gauntlets.

[@cyclone0001]

I think we should call blazing Gundams special “twinkle toes.”

[@damn1580]

Dang, that thumbnail got pulled straight out of the anime

[@StillSaber]

Mecha: "Shining Toes" Me: "Or Burning Foot" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@lolzhackzernubz]

My local store had this kit and the big penelope kit. Ive never built a gundam and tonights the night I try to assemble it.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

I hope you have an awesome time. The first kit is special!

[@Smilomaniac]

I have the 2010 God Gundam (and the Neo Sweden's Nobel Gundam counterpart) and it's a great kit quality and construction wise, the design is a little outdated and it has a fairly large amount of stickers, even if they're mostly in recessed areas. This Blazing Gundam is an interesting design in the way that you can see how the owner has modified the God Gundam by moving the wrist gauntlets to the feet (it's why it has god toe feet instead of god finger hands I guess) and chopped the backpack fins up and placed them on the wrists. The subdued colors are also far better, especially since the color placement on the God Gundam and color intensity make it look really cheap. This still has the microcephaly thing going on, where it has a much smaller head than other gundams (even the Nobel), which makes it look fine alone but next to others it looks like it's in tiny head mode.

[@teknodice]

that thumbnail looks awesome, you should totally try recreating anime shots like that with kits for more thumbnails in the future

[@falkyriegunpla]

aaaa MECHA!!! i just went to check my Blazing Gundam and the butt flap isn't paralyzed

[@thedesucomplex4365]

I'd keep the mask, it just reminds me of Optimus Primal. The Shining Foot would probably work better with a light frosted effect, making it look more solid.

[@anonymouschinchilla1305]

Shining toes? I would call it "TWINKLE TOES"

[@acaeleus]

Can't wait to see what you have to say about the Command QAN[T]. Just finished it and was really impressed.

[@metalryuger]

Rising Gundam color scheme, I feel Blazing Gundam is the Rising Gundam spiritual successor.

[@CrimsonFlagg]

I hope everyone is having a good day.

[@cjme1]

So, one thing I like/find interesting with this kit, it seems like they named it after God Gundam's english localization (Burning) instead of something like "Divine" or "Heavenly Gundam"

[@secretasianman108]

So it's a Gundam that does Rider kicks? SOLD!

[@ruiskapowshow]

Nice kit. I can’t wait for the Perfect Strike Freedom review!

[@BursterousBTBH]

cant wait for my MG barbatos for christmas

[@mikeb10633]

I don't know if anyone realized this, but Mecha's thumbnail for this kit is the same thumbnail from Battelogue first episode which is showing the same angle of Blazing Gundam

[@sandermarkunzo4538]

I can't wait to see Barbataurus in your next video!🤘😁

[@bread64]

Is it just me or does the Blazing Gundam kind of look like a Christmas themed Gundam

[@oohweerick8326]

Buying the blazing Gundam made me buy the hg G Gundam and they look incredible together

[@ilikegiantrobots1775]

I like the thumbnail, it is very good

[@matlavi4075]

The Blazing Gundam looks nice but Burning Gundam had much better effect parts for it's kicks. I'm looking forward the Perfect Strike Freedom.

[@benadrylthundercrotch7144]

I'm a big mark for God Gundam, but I wasn't super excited for this kit, but I have to say it looks a lot better in person than in pictures/videos. Something about that orange just looks way nicer in person.

[@mrcharlied4228]

I just bought the Barbataurus. I wanted to see MEcha's opinion on it but I couldn't wait any longer

[@betacrest10]

The face armor replacement reminds me a bit of Maxter gundam. And it's a solid close combat themed mobile suit based of God gundam so i'm sold on it.

[@laddismaximus9535]

Waiting on that Barbataurus review

[@kelnhide]

It has a mask and its finisher is a kick. It's a literal Kamen Rider in gunpla form

[@elite8predator883]

I legit just saw this kit at an anime store. It was either this or the Master Grade Gundam Barbatos. I was inclined to having my very first kit be a high grade but the weak effect part on the foot kinda drew me away. If it had like fiery streaks and such I would've gotten but compared to the MG Barbatos the winner was obvious

[@Pachiku93]

Huh, haven't thought about that. Breaker Battlogue gives Bandai the excuse to rerelease some older kits with a few new parts and accessories.

[@depshallburn]

Classic Bandai tactics lmfao

[@RevanR]

HGBB Blazing (saddles) Gundam *giggling intensify*

[@StillSaber]

Hmm, A Custom Gundam Spock from Star Trek, that would be a interesting build.

[@silmcdon]

you can actually put the red v-fin base on the white head. it looks really good

[@adudewholikesgunpla]

Hey mecha, I know the year isn't over yet but when do you think the best kits of 2021 video will come out? Also I loved your RG hi nu gundam vid!

[@Heroduothecomedian]

7:22 This toe jam of mine is burning red It's loud burn tells to grasp victory Erupting burning kick xD

[@Samudra-qm9dw]

Shining Gundam + God Gundam = Blazing Gundam

[@reannoire4330]

Now I'm curious how the Perfect Strike Freedom will turn out since it'll be a mixed of the Strike and Strike Freedom parts with the Perfect Striker pack... Will it be similar as the old HG Perfect Strike Gundam or the parts will be based on the revive versions of either of the mentioned kits? I hope he'll review it soon to end my curiosity.

[@Matanumi]

It'll be a whole new build with some remixed runners. It'll blow strike and freedom out of the water

[@tomaniacnguyen9538]

Some strike freedom revive part with some new stuff, beam part from the infinitr justice

[@CurtisDishman]

Imo is probably the best of the bunch.

[@AngeMaru486]

@@CurtisDishman honestly, the HG 00 Command Quanta is the most stable build out of all of them, at least for me. The Barbataurus is definitely the least stable. The base MS is fine, But the other frame connected to its ass is floppy as hell

[@AngeMaru486]

Most of the runners are from Strike Freedom, the beam effects are from Infinite Justice, and the rest are Specifically for the Perfect Strike Freedom

[@churchmeister3852]

I just built this one and I'm working on perfect strike freedom now. I really like these kits so far and there are so many extra parts, it's a kit bashers dream. P.s. really surprised barbatauros isn't on here yet lol.

[@dainperry7703]

i would honestly like to see a Code Geass Lancelot modeling kit from bandai

[@lawrencemarasigan9184]

Im gonna call this a kamen rider with it's mask and rider kick!

[@blvk3]

not watched the anime but if they had followed the naming traditions of the moves, that kick should have been named as the *BLAZING TOE*

[@darthnihilus9502]

The Box Art is very Nice 😊👍

[@MikeHernandez707]

Tonfas for life!!!!!!!! More MS's need em!

[@spyroclone152]

I feel it's a missed opportunity to not include any recolored green flaming effect parts from the HGBF Try Burning Gundam kit. It would've really emphasized the kit when it's kicking or punching. Also, effect parts for the arm thrusters would've been awesome as well.

[@jayv6376]

So here's a question. How about using the head from the extra parts from the shining break gundam? Is the mask compatible?

[@mosb7398]

Poor Misa.... she'll be a champion someday

[@dhmhtrhsbatzas8767]

i think you can use a matt topcoat(or gloss one) to the foot part to hide the joints inside it (haven't tried it with a matt topcoat but i have done the same thing to a runner of HG unicorn with a phosphor spray and exept that it glow at the dark it also "blurred" the part.)

[@krown4129]

OMG i actually guessed it right but i wasnt sure if it was out yet

[@sheakone]

Your reviews rock dude!

[@pokitcheze7274]

Can’t wait for barbatauros

[@ducanhtran1713]

Nice thumbnail!

[@Jmaster-99]

Translucent yes, rubber no. The old God Gundam hands will crack after time

[@Mercury_Cosmos]

Now for me the red face is horrable but the white face is great, if id get this kit ill really only use the white one.

[@spartanvenom5388]

I’m not sure why but this Gundam in the anime episodes really reminds me of Hibiki from Symphogear

[@jun.subere4319]

Im gonna buy this next november, im just rewatching and i didnt know you give it low Verdict.....however im still gonna buy, i also bought Helios....i already planned out to buy Helios but when you feature it, it made me sure Helios needs to be purchase ASAP 😂....still, im still thinking buying this .....im drawn to Battlelouge Gunpla Kits, to be honest im gonna buy Livelance and Gundam Wing Sky Zero as well after Sky Zero im gonna buy the Original Gundam Wing....its gonna be next year tho....ill prioritize Livelance and this

[@snorlysqueak4391]

now we just need a blazing/shining leg, thigh, crotch, torso, shoulder, arm, and head and we can make a full on translucent gundam

[@reijigamer]

That sounds like a Gundam Base limited version so that might happen

I just thought of something Mecha, could us also use the Tonfas as a sort of Beam Pike also.

[@josiahsimpson8108]

i have the OO command Qant it is based off an old kit but it is so good

[@timothymckay1650]

You can make the god Gundam head as well

[@SenketsuFi]

what if you coat the inside of the shining foot with metallic silver gundam marker?

[@孙武-w8t]

From God Finger to Blazing Kick 😂

[@Acecard-jl2py]

Blazing? Shining Gundam with a shining toe? Has a name similar to the english name of God Gundam? Can they just admit they are 100 percent aware of God Gundam's english name?

[@jaymiechan]

seeing it with a red head after using a good chunk of its parts in Gundam Breaker Mobile feels weird.

[@TwilitEpitaph]

Im not sure if it's because I have been out of the gunpla game for almost a decade or what, but I think I may actually like the Blazing more than the Livelance Heaven or the Helios. I need to play around with them a bit more, but Blazing just feels a bit more solid to me and is the one I have been reaching for to play around with. I had no idea it was based off an 11 year old kit xD
