The Best GM?! MG Jesta Cannon (and MG Jesta) Review - MECHA GAIKOTSU

@The Hangar Bay what are those

Mecha Gaikotsu Yesterday I bought this MG just because it looked cool and I was a bit fearful it would be flimsy (like my MG Qubeley... You know what I'm talking about)... BUT now, hearing from you that it has resisted time I just can't wait for it to arrive and build it, brings a relief to me and makes me think that it was worth getting an LED unit. (I wonder how would it look when using my Blue LED unit)

the Jesta cannon is to a Gundam what Warachine is to Ironman.

It even looks kinda like Warmachine.

[@shakespeareanim]

The Jesta Cannon is a successor of the GM but not a GM. The Jesta Cannon is developed from the Jesta, which in turn is developed from the Jegan, which in turn is developed from the GM III.

[@Mobius_118]

It's a GM-type mobile suit, as designated by the RGM in its model number. But since it, and the Jegan, aren't supposed to Mass-Production versions of a Gundam (GM stands for Gundam Mass-Production type), they aren't given the name GM.

[@jonatassilva2605]

I prefer the 3.0 hands because not only are the more advanced posing options you can get as well as the 2.0 hands that have a hinge at the middle of the fingers, but I would love to see a hybrid between the 2 hands with the posability and the accessory peg of the 3.0 hands but the wrist of the 2.0

Your editing skills are sick my man.. no wonder you are the most subscribed gunplayer..reviews are quick. precise.. finished even before you get bored. Keep it up man..

Jesta is one of the few suits to get the Tacti-cool look. Hope they do it more often.

[@thaddeuss.8332]

Watched this 🅱️efore hittin' the Gundam shop. Some would say I was *JESTA* in time

[@strangenames6056]

I never realized just how bad ass the jest was like the fact that it has 90 percent of the operational capability of the nu gundam

[@akaruvailen5271]

new to gunpla and just built the HG jesta... absolutely love it. will be getting these two for sure

[@Peter_nzl97]

Have two of the standard Jesta and one cannon variant to represent the squad from the series. They look so go on display and that's as straight builds (with the optional LED units). Years down the track, they are still standing tall and looking good too ;)

[@Ender__Wa]

PG hands are by far my favorite, they may not hold as good, but I have found that to be marginal with the MGs I have. Including MG Barbatos namely, have him in the box art pose now but the hands were certainly fighting me. Besides, the PG hands have pegs all the same as any other hand style for weapons. I don't mind spending longer getting a pose I'll be happy with for months or years.

[@YeagerBomb-ww3bn]

Love the Jesta! Personal favorite cannon mobile suit in Gundam. It looks super tactical, lots of customization that can be done, the suit preformed well, and it's not cannon fodder. Good review. Hope you revisit the Jesta HGs one day.

[@TheWhiplashKid]

Love the Jesta, and I've already ordered the Jesta Cannon. Can't wait to build!

[@johnnyfung7143]

MECHA you're the one I only trust when I need to choose gunpla to buy and build it never lets me down

[@juancarlosmarquez7231]

I like how you incorporate the old kit reviews on your Pbandai kits. Keep it up.

[@kivulifenrir]

I will always go with pg style hands over the others. You can simply do more with them and they add so much more to the kits that have them. Swappable fingers are simply the worst and always feel like cut corners, as well as being utterly limiting. 3-1-thumb hands are serviceable for what they are, but they are limiting to a degree. However, at least they won't fall apart or get lost like swappable fingers.

[@ahab9715]

Two things. One, I like the posable hands, but I most prefer when a kit comes with posable hands AND static hands (like Sinanju Stein Narrative version Ver.Ka). Having a dedicated hand just for the rifle grip was a galaxy brain move on Bandai's part and really gives the best bang for buck. Second thing.... It can be argued that the Jesta Cannon isn't carrying ammo for itself, but rather its non-Cannon variant teammates. Fairly common practice in some irl military doctrine.

[@CMTechnica]

Cannon still carries a standard beam rifle. Shoulder cannons are aux weapons And considering it’s meant to be inspired by real spec ops and more modern warfighters, I’d bet the MG looking beam rifle is meant to hold the normal mags, they just didn’t model it

[@theskyking5]

This is definitely a cool kit. I have the standard version and love everything except the hands. I was carefully trying to move the hands just to put them together and they fell apart on me. As for my favourtie MG hands it has to go 1. Swapable fingers, 2 pegs in hand with 3 finger trigger finger split, then the PG style hands just because of the horrible experience I had with them building the MG Jesta.

[@radlee0123]

Nice hand articulation. From a yeet to a middle finger. This is why I subbed.

Was also my first hg to customize, i painted it pink 😂

[@yuniasabed]

Jesta reminds me of master chief from Halo

[@dantimmerman6693]

I find what you say about these two quite funny. Of the three bootlegs I have ever grabbed (hundreds of the real thing on the shelf) this one is also the only one that has held up and needed very little work to assemble. It also has almost identical coloring to my MG Jesta and the extra shield attached to the other side of it's backpack with no effort.

Hey Mecha Gaikotsu! This video gave me an ideo for a suggestion: Perhaps you could start reviewing older master grades in your collection every now and then? I'd love to see a bunch that were featured but never got proper video. Loved this review. Jesta is special to me since it was my first kit after a very long hiatus, and I've been hooked ever since.

[@greekfire3244]

You can hear the fear in Mecha's voice when the hand pops off the wrist.

[@bigdaddyb2078]

I like the HG style hands not the finger swapping or anything else, I like them because they are bigger so won’t getl lost won’t get mixed up and they are more stable when holding stuff, you don’t have to watch out for the fingers falling off

[@1991Kano]

You gonna get a second regular jesta for craps and/or giggles to complete the squad?

[@kinger2005]

They're meant to operate as a squad, so I assume the standard beam rifle mags are extra for the rest of the squad. Many modern light machine gun type weapons can use standard magazines as backup too now

Hell yea you’ve been killing it with the uploads❤️😁

Just "finished" the MG Jesta. Ordered some 3D-printed fixed hands off eBay because the stock hands pretty much exploded as soon as they came off the runner.

[@marklouiscoronel7329]

all hail looks and firepower for jesta cannon hands down so much coolness in this one

[@joaquingomez5773]

I'm new in this world of Gundam and Gunpla, and i love the way this one looks, and also like the command colony type, the Jesta and the Jegan, i like that police/military style. I've seen those have a "GM" in their names. Does It mean something? It's like a series of those look like models? I would love to find more os these type gundam and gunpla

[@DarkROSkull013]

Hey man. You're in for a lore. Story-wise the "GM" units are mass production versions of the Gundam, however as someone pointed earlier, not all of them are developed from a/the Gundam. Grunt units in a military force. The GM most likely stands for "Gundam Mass-produced".

[@sjcobra84]

Finding myself warming up the the grunt series of mobile suits.

[@TheRealTerranMarine]

Am I the only one who adores the reflex sight on the rifle? It's a rad design

[@zexal-zb1ud]

If we do get a Unicorn 2.0, it would benefit with a much more stable stand adapter, implementing the knee gimmick from the GM Jesta, which would allow more pose-ability without having to remove any armor, and having a more stable chest unit.

[@kyusuneakuma3337]

i really like the type of hands that came with the hi-res barbatos due to it being a lot easier and stable for my poses

[@YeeMacghyee]

I wish more kits came with the fully posable hands. Or at least the ones i can buy on amazon weren't so insanely priced.

[@gammao748]

Cool and all but, what we really want to see is the KING of all GUNPLA The BALL!

[@knetye8124]

The jesta is my all time favorite gunpla kit

[@Giving50prcnt]

I prefer the swappable finger types that the GM Command and GM Sniper 2 have. I just finished the GM Sniper 2 White Dingo version and it doesn’t come with the runner to make the swappable finger hands only the same type of hands that the jesta use and some of the fingers just fall out of the hand.

[@Chovyy-f25]

I do have one question, Jesta, GM Sniper 2, or Jegan? Master Grade Version

[@nm2358]

How I love the Jesta's design and I have yet to get a Jesta. Backlog thwarts me!

[@rattlingduck8454]

I have the HG jesta cannon although it is a bit flimsy and the hand can't really carry the gun really well because I think the gun is too heavy for it. I hope there isn't the same problem for the MG

[@susananavarro1424]

The thing you said about unicorn kits, is sadly true I have a MG Banshee, the shoulders fall apart when transforming, and the left knee part broke and cant slide out anymore This was a Christmas present 😔

[@s3d17]

This is a great MG, impressive!

[@jedisabre]

Just finished the standard Jesta MG last night and I love it, only problem I had with the build? I managed to snap off a finger at one of the joints so it can't be fixed and there's no way for me to order the manipulators from Canada.... damn you Bandai and your non international shipping ways!

[@compliantcorgi4959]

I also was sad when one of the wrist joints for my mg Alex 2.0 broke and couldn't order any reply parts from the US. But when googling I came across a website that someone made where you can send him the information needed and he will order the parts and then ship them to you. He has been doing if for a few years and people have given him good reviews. If you want I can send you his website link.

[@adityawisnu3783]

the first ever gunpla that I have is MG jesta, it's a daban model but I love it

You should try to see if you can add the second shoulder shield to the standard jesta

[@denciolombos2510]

I love Jesta. They look like they're the S.W.A.T. team of GM's

[@tigerontop702]

I know you got a lot to do but, I kinda miss that you don’t build all the optional stuff anymore just to show it off. Would have love to see what it’s alternate color looks like for this kit. Kinda what brought me to your channel in the first place since so other reviewer shows that kind of stuff off. Anyway still love your content and your merch designs are seriously amazing keep it up 👌🏼

[@judeskater93]

Bandai you are KILLING ME with these P Bandai kits!!

[@reddragonunleashed1]

Definately the swappable hands as those are the more sturdy option and are much more likely to be able to hold stuff. To me if the fingers can move...it usually means the weapon is going to fall out and if the weapon falls out then whats the point of those fingers moving. Only way I'll be happy with the fingers is if I've seen a couple of reviews and all reviews say that those movable fingers are sturdy and can hold the stuff it's supposed to.

[@danieldamanik7920]

You should check out the geara doga its a great kit and if you want you can get the sleeves version

[@romutulus253]

Jegan ECOAS type also looks pretty nice imo. In terms of ones without actual kits, GM sniper III and GM striker custom tops my list I think.

[@kevinr6879]

Considering that the Jesta was able to easily take down a Zeta Plus unit in Gundam Unicorn, I can see why it’s model kit is still standing. Also I love the ball jointed posable fingers over the replaceable ones.

[@JS-fz8iu]

I have one of the regular Jesta. I want one more regular and then a sniper and this cannon. I want to make a squad based diorama out of them.

[@codemalware326]

i own the HGUC jesta canon and its good but the legs are a bit loose same goes with the minipulaters

[@jshtv7195]

I love the perfect grade hands because: 3:11

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

Funny how the more simpler-looking MS survived the test of time over the fancier-looking ones. Makes me wonder what was Bandai so high with when they were designing them.... At any rate, I guess now have another one in my list of must-buy MG's.

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

It was the mecha designers that work in Sunrise that did them though.

[@edwardbroeckling9602]

I prefer the Perfect Grade style hands, used in this kit especially, as they are much more posable than others.

[@pristine3094]

I like the type of hand that come with Mg zaku2.0 or gundam2.0 expresive yet good to hold something

[@pikkyuukyuun4741]

The double peg system on the PG type hands on my Gundam 3.0 is the best. This thing has never dropped weapons on me

[@000NULL]

honestly i like the PG style hands that came with the hi nu ver ka and the stein. but the inside palm wrist rotation peg sucks

[@keywildspades400]

Use an end of a drill bit for hip drop joints

[@MaskE3-f1c]

For Gundam hands, I definitely like having articulation as a while ago I was an avid stop motion animator, and if I was able to use something that wasn’t clay that stained my hands, and it had good articulation, I loved it. And that does carry over to my gunpla now. I love me some good articulated fingers, and all the ones with the PG hands always hold on pretty tight. My second favourite hands would probably be the swappable fingers with a semi articulated thumb. My least favourite ay be the hands on the MG Zaku 2. The fingers become loose easily and they can’t hold on that well to the weapons

[@mediavfood4574]

I want this kit so bad for a custom paint idea I had a while back. Shame its so expensive!

[@VF0312]

[@raysprad404]

Need a Jesta for my GM specialty squad, it's not easy to get a hold of now though.

[@juancarlosmarquez7231]

I personally prefer the swappable fingers as they are more stable in the long run (admittedly I don't own a lot of Master Grade kits).

[@hahayesitsme212]

Does the OG Jesta has the PG Posable hands?

[@Bobert2020]

Yes

[@Frolaire]

honestly I feel like the Jesta is one of the best kits I've touched, it's just so good in every way pretty much. It's a very similar build to the Jegan honestly.

[@jazzx9562]

Hey, mecha gaikotsu great vid you’ve made really want to buy one. I’ve got a suggestion for a gundam to review and it’s the Heavyarms. I mainly ask this because it seems good but I’m not sure if I should buy it. If u could that would be great thanks and keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@elnavales]

When I see how cool the MG Jesta Cannon looks, I just think, "Why oh why did they not make a MG GM Custom Canon from 0083???"

[@Amatsaru29]

Was never a fan of swapping fingers. Felt frustrating opening one of my many zip locks to find new hands for different poses

[@lemeres2478]

while jimjim here comes with individual fingers, i feel that the replaceable finger parts better match his spirit- basic, but it won't break down on you quite as easily.

[@DariusVladimirAuditore]

For me the fest hands by far are the ones that came with the GM Sniper Custom, the trigger finger and three finger split with an extra joint in the fingers, followed by the PG style hands. But honestly I find that both articulated hands and interchangeable fingers really are always lacking on their own so what I want is for Bandai to include both options, like they did with the MG Geara Doga. Have best of both worlds.

[@fos-kun4688]

You could say this is the 1/100 MG Jesta Review Revive Version XD Also I've always loved the Jesta Canon and in MG, I can't say no
