1/144 HGBD Gundam Astray No Name Review - GUNDAM BUILD DIVERS - ガンダムアストレイノーネイム

[@GuntPulp]

I saw it was 999 likes and put it over the top!

[@valentinow.a.7506]

This Astray No Name kit is just so disappointing , where's the beam saber on the left hand ? , they change its color to brown wine ? , the backpack is so rubbish , and finally the articulation of this kit. I hope Bandai spend more time to make this gundam , what about turn this kit into an RG grade ?

[@nope-xe2lx]

for the beam saber,i am thinking about taking the lance from the fenice and painting it green.

[@Zetagundamastley1219]

The HG Astray from 2013 honestly doesn’t need a revive. It’s still up to par to modern kits even to this day. But wow, articulation on the No Name is just disappointing(It doesn't really bother me since I never put my models in super crazy action poses). Gonna get it anyways.

[@mohddanialakmal2781]

Zetagundamastley1219 yup. I can accept the leg. Which to me is quite good. But the arm.. What year is this...

[@xSkye629x]

90 is perfectly serviceable. How often do you pose your kits with the arm bent 180 with hands against the shoulder? Definitely less than 10% (being generous). I got over 50 kits on display, and none pose like that because either: 1. The arm is mostly straight/slightly bent for the standing there and looking cool pose 2. Outstretched as most cool action poses requires. If the MS is reliant on 2 handed weapon poses then I find the most critical aspects are whether the shoulder can move out enough to support such a pose, and wrist articulation/angle

[@LaggyGoBoom]

xSkye629x, now that you mentioned it... point taken

[@mohddanialakmal2781]

xSkye629x 90 is sufficient for posing. But this kit doesnt even look like it can bend it arms 90°

[@tuckerodonnell9269]

Zetagundamastley1219 the only one they should have revived was the green frame

[@MechaBorne]

Absolutely criminal we didn’t get an MG. Sickest Astray design ever

[@ronaldchristopherteraza4792]

"It's all looks and no substance" hmm. I remember so many people

[@tylercooley321]

4:19 thank you so much for that camera trick. I really wanted to see what it would look like lol

[@TranscendedPhoenix]

I agree that the Astray needed a revive before this came along. I could argue they should have done that for the Alex as well so they had a better base for the Tristan. Can you imagine a perfect world where that happened? I can, and I want it.

[@tnnt9410]

Just visited japan and went to the diver city mall with unicorn gundam and bought like 10 gunplas love your informative vids

[@gitdatcash126]

I can always count on Mecha for the honest opinion

[@dol_mel7487]

Eh not always though. He's misbuilt kits (galbady rebake), been too harsh overall (Cherdium saga), and screwed various other things too....

[@אנונימיתאנונימי]

Jetfire48 Nah, the only time he wasn't honest was, when he shilled for Playmates free Voltron, besides that he's good. Any toy reviewer that's always positive is a bloody shill.

[@titan133760]

Jetfire48 I didn't like his review of the RG Shinanju. He was not handling the kit properly and it looked like he built it hastily. I myself don't really like the Shinanju (though I don't dislike it either) but I really didn't like how Mecha did that review. I have noticed thought that he's improving now

[@אנונימיתאנונימי]

DeLEET Titan But it wasn't just Mecha; until RG Unicorn, all RG were fragile pile of sucknesss.

[@titan133760]

I guess to be fair

[@ragtag_mall0320]

4:17 - 4:20 that symmetrical form looks amazing but the asymmetrical version is still pretty good too

[@redwing6174]

I think it would be cool if it was a master grade hoping Because I love this design

[@theomnibusprime4046]

Agree with you since Bandai love to milk Astray kits

[@jamesturner6979]

I've always thought that Tsukasa would've worked better as the final boss of Divers, not the mid-boss. And this kit being a rushjob only strengthens my opinion since it would've also given them more time to work out the kit's kinks. :(

[@failed_K]

Astray No Name: Who are you? Lord Astray Double Rebake: I'm you, but better

[@Bjorninn_]

The kit itself is so disappointing, when considering the mass potential it had. I cant even begin to describe how hypes I was for a new, amazing looking astray kit... But then the toss out this? Im not a build divers fan by any means, but this was one of the few kits from the show I was actually hyped to see translate into plastic. Bandai to the "rescue" I suppose.

[@Bjorninn_]

Thanks for the highlight! Glad I'm not the only one disappointed in this :P

[@Amogus4596]

Im only dissapointed of the colors

[@npc6817]

I onestly plan to get this and I think after being given enough love and care (plastic surgery) he will be a mean addition to my collection, but from a straigth build perspective yeah he sucks

[@Bjorninn_]

saverio sassetti don't worry, I kind of intend to get this anyway. I have more than enough paint to get the right parts black, I'm just hesitant bc of the bad articulation

[@npc6817]

Zach Tinnes for that yo just need to slightly mod armor and joints. Look wich parts stop the movement and just trim a bit with a file. I did this to my rg quanta's head, and now it has decent upward movement

[@EbullientSMP]

The thing is the original kit this was based on was a Revive before the Revive line existed. It was a brand new mold and was essentially a perfect HG kit of the Astray with a lot of detail, amazing poseability, and an insane amount of accessories. It's only falling grace was the stickers, and that's partially due to the insane colors of the Astray that can't be replicated in HG form. This kit was just a letdown and did not do that original mold justice, it's a waste of potential.

[@applesauce1919]

*Mecha gaikotsu sees less than 90 degree articulation * T R I G G. E R D

[@aero981]

I wonder if the armour design will be improved if they decide to release the Lord Astray (a new-ish? mobile suit from princess of the sky, there's like only 1 photo of it)

[@archhyberion]

That's it, we really need more Revive kits, dibs on the Justice Gundam.

[@johanbravo7292]

Same one for justice and infinite justice

[@kingprettie01]

Finally someone mentioned the giant hand with the cloak and where's the second beam weapon it carried. Some modding needed to make it better

[@happy_camper]

Preordered it when it was a different color. Guess I’ll just customize it anyway!! Awesome design. Worth the pre-order for that alone 😎

[@thyrandomaznable8477]

this guy had so much potential, if only they made him the correct color scheme, if only they made it with better articulation, if only they made the no-name unit with a proper transformation into its rifle mode and actually gave it its claw mode, if only they provided its second beam saber, if only they gave it its buster blade, if only...

[@jimbojambo69420]

I gotta admit you had us in the first half at the articulation

[@ZeroOmega-vg8nq]

"I like asymmetrical suits" My OCD just screamed HERESY

[@PatrickOhm]

Thank you for answering the left and right question, nice

[@KillaRock404]

I think this is the best design of any Gundam Build Fighters series

[@noxi6146]

The more sad is the beautiful beam saber in his back pack that they have don't detail for been take in his hand. So sad for this beautiful guy.

[@ersyadiaz]

3:51 that wasn't even 90 degrees. wtf Bandai?

[@blitz8425]

This was the first kit I painted. Had to get rid of that maroon. Its one of the few kits that looks good just standing lol

[@abbie176]

光るテーブルは作ったんですか？Did you make that Lightning table?

[@Ccarroll88]

Good review man! Keep up the good work

[@JeusKingGamer18]

I do want this but I can't find one🥺

[@mattbrown7935]

4:20 damn that looks sick!!!

[@magicrover7067]

its only the looks that i needed and honestly i love the gundam astray no name very much (excluding the color and articulation (which it doesn't bother me at all)).is one of the top 20 of my favourite gundam.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

Well...I guess I'll just hope we see an upgraded version of the suit in the show that symmetrical...or maybe I'll hope we get an hg Lord astray

[@verax0436]

there was the symmetrical fenice rinascita in build fighters, so i hope for the same, with the no name.

[@99JDT]

Same. Wonder what it would be called then?

[@krysle3337]

99JDT Astray Yes-Name

[@NAMadrid]

Astray Got-Name

[@santobell]

You, out of my head! Seriously you addressed every point I had questioned about the kit and as someone who was looking to create a No Name full cloth and a Lord Astray from two kits I'm now fully disappointed in the non-ability to change the parts left to right on the kit. Would you think it possible to create two symmetrical kits with modification or are they just too different? I guess I'll just wait for Bandai to finally release the Lord kit... Hopefully! Great video btw!

[@pauljordan0203]

there should be a master grade version for this kit, ya know?

[@Boblol126]

Agreed; I’m trying to mod an old red frame kai into the no-name but it’s really rough

[@shauqiharris2772]

Here hoping the MG Astray No Name will be amazing kit to build.

[@pauljordan0203]

@@shauqiharris2772 here here!

[@foriamjustacommenter7141]

This kit looks so badass but wow it needs some real help. It does do justice in the looks department.

[@Xenobears]

I had a major problem with the right head horn-it kept getting in the way of the gun and would fall out constantly. Was able to fix the color issue by spray painting the brown bits black before assembly.

[@ionfuh]

Man did you just mirrored one side of the build because damn it looks gooooooood with both symmetrical sides

[@kyle.Al196]

With those lame white stickers on the no name rifle, I’m definitely painting that part white when I get my kit, would Gundam marker or mr. Color paint be a better option?

[@marcelbobier9562]

I know its 2 years late but I saw a astray no name weapon that sold separately

[@Tacts0317]

This is my favorite Gundam from the series period. Hurts that it gets such a low tier rating.

[@Cronta90]

I just finished building mine yesterday and absolutely loved it, it is just so freaking cool.

[@numa_kai]

I want a symmetrical version of this of both sides, *BUT* mostly the one with the white armor because, dude, it *IS* *T* *H* *I* *C* *C*

[@LujanSol0]

When are we getting Tequila Gundam Desperado though?

[@Trujones]

Im actually building astray red fram and HOLY CRAP those stickers are a PAIN!!

[@Ton_D_Chicken]

The kit still looks cool though!!! That alone is enough for me to buy one!!!👍👍👍

[@chaogames7812]

I literally just subscribed right before you uploaded this

[@jacobthefirstandlastknight2212]

I believe gundam builders have the best top model kits and design then all the gundam Franchises .

[@dnlowithstripes]

I preordered mine from hlj when it got announced and now I'm on a backorder list, I'm not really mad since I already have a pretty large backlog and have the RG Sazabi on the way but the last time this happened with the RG tallgeese the notified me to apologize and say that the preorders surpassed their projected stock and all of that but now nothing.

[@fishpop]

There was a new Astray kit in 2013? Is that when the SEED Remaster kits came out?

[@anish4651]

We need more 1/100 master grades and the no name needs to be one of them and any from any of the build series will do as well

[@AgrxLegends89]

I still want it. Needs a ton of work for sure, but most of my kits live on the shelf anyway since I too scared to chip any paint after all the work I put in.

[@crainium_astronaut8216]

4:22 looks sick

[@0melleteDuFromage]

This kit would look amazing bashed with two No name weapon sets on both shoulders. Like an Astray Full Cloth.

[@poohboy316]

do I smell another mg astray pbandai kit(with correct colors and proportions)coming?

[@lyradnoir8952]

Since there is enough parts for the normal red frame astray arm with the double jointed right arm, can we use it to increase the articulation of the left arm? Will try once I get mine...😉

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

I wish there was an MG version

[@m0nk3y9]

Damn mecha..I waited for 5 day but the review as always my favourite

[@TrevorXStrydeR]

can't wait for the MG 1/100 version.

[@squishytakoyaki1857]

If you're going to paint the maroon color parts into black,will you make a video about how to do it?

[@ZF41_YT]

I think this kit base on the Lord astray?

[@MaxHDAvenger]

I'm thinking about getting two no name cannon/pack for my Advanced Hazel. Just wondering about the peg part of it.

[@BLAZE084]

I think it’s safe to say that everyone in the gunpla community myself included feel these parts should’ve been molded in black. Bad articulation or not I’d like to get this kit!

[@alfa1134]

Plus, no beam saber for the left arm, and that was the first weapon this Astray used in its only battle!

[@erubin100]

Honestly, I think the dark reddish cape looks pretty good. It reminds me of coagulated blood...

[@fallen8282]

just rewatching build divers... and I 'realized' (or maybe more like I guess, so you may) that this color of red kinda pretty much is the same color as the coat/sweater Tsukasa was wearing guess you could kinda do the gauntlet... with the lower 'finger' being the part in the middle of both 'fangs' the middle one the short fangs and the upper one the two parted one... case you can mount it like that...?

[@callofmasterchief]

Doesnt the seperate No-name Unit that you can buy comes in black? Cus seeing this, i might go for that instead then the full kit. Might go all the way and mod a Astray or a different kit to look more like the original then this kit.

[@superdarkshadow287]

I actually have the Astray Red Frame I wonder if I could use some of the parts from it to upgrade the No-name

[@haleyleyley8951]

Yo Mecha, you know how some of the Ninpulse's maroon parts are supposed to be black on the line art? Bandai must've thought it'd look cool with this kit here

[@STVN20]

The design is only for aesthetics. It's up for us builders to make it better.

[@jeiku_balmung_iraisan]

Damn and this guy looks so promising too.. Oh well, just hope they make a Gundam Snow White someday

[@chillzaa99]

Gonna repaint no name unit into black right now.

[@THISIS_CHADZ]

This typically helps me allot. thanks so i will buy this kit cause I don't mind the rumors from this gunpla .. hehe

[@skylinechris181]

I was wondering where the connection point for the no name rifle, im thinking of getting that+maybe crossbone maoh

[@dorky2958]

Another badly executed good looking kit. Thanks for bring it up Mecha !

[@NekkidSnek420]

So this is a remold of the Red Frame Flight Unit not the M1?..

[@OkonomiY]

actually, this kit is based on Gundam Lord Astray. feel pity for the left arm 😣

[@collindumag606]

Hey mecha, can you review the old hg astray

[@りみとれす]

judging by the looks and the new parts in Gundam Astray No Name, I have a feeling that Bandai's tryin to release the model kit for lord astray

[@bensonyu2515]

Question: is there a kit with only the d extension? I just need it for customization

[@HgKim-dc6cg]

the white parts should also have been gray

[@keanunguyen5718]

Is the fave on the back on the head there

[@KappaKiller108]

That color is just inexcusable to me. What were they thinking? I really do think someone messed up bad considering it doesn't even match the color guide in the instructions

[@jdexcalibur1989]

They also did the same color change from art to kit with the Ninpulse and goodness they need to update the HG astray Frame,...

[@aomiek]

As a kid I had one and destroyed it in a matter if 1 weeks

[@ThatGuy_1220]

Coming back to this after a while, this could be treated as a limited edition kit despite being a possible defect. Most No-Names nowadays are black.

[@maddymuhat8079]

Can you do a review on hg gunpla zero wing honoo? Thanks

[@coopermichael911]

Will you review the p bandai sinaju

[@vustvaleo8068]

do the HG Gundam Astrays really need a revive? i mean the original kits are already well engineered enough.

[@manishdhandhukia3514]

How can you build the right arm with the spare parts, there aren't instructions for it

[@ssjrojo7434]

Did u find out I'm also trying to

[@manishdhandhukia3514]

Ssj Rojo not yet sadly

[@darshanramesh5267]

Gundam lord astray coming

[@Ra3_ar1adnE]

This kit really needs to be MG one day,would make a great display.

[@SithLourd]

Good thing I wasn't able to pre-order this kit.

[@blitz8425]

This, Reginlaze Julia, and Vidar/Kimaris Vidar are my top kits to hopefully get a master grade. They are dying for it

[@JJheeweepee1]

If you didn’t know the maroon colour is a error during manufacturing

[@Bejli7]

Looks dope. It reminds me a little bit of Zeratul from Starcraft.

[@ZetaVec]

My brother recently got this it’s a shame the articulation is bad we did however find you can build both original arms but they are missing the back pieces

[@Satrim373]

This is my first gundam and after a few days I've finished building it. I feel like it's very flimsy like some parts will fall off if I mess with it even a little. The Cape especially it'll just fall off its arm if i try to move it's arm. I haven't tried it's other modes but once I get a stand I'll try to make the big gun thing. (Sorry I've never watched gundam b4). Maybe I'm doing something wrong but still it looks very cool imo. Very very fun aswell.

[@300kyuubi]

Whelp, Time to get No-Name for parts

[@theFool893]

The first thought I had was why was this kit white instead of the beautiful grey they used in the show... But overall, if they took a bit more time to release this kit I think it would've turned out way better

[@kaisermonarch7603]

This kit reminds me of *Zero* from *Mega Man Zero* . With the cloak, head design, and all. I forgot to mention that awesome & unique green beam saber part
