THIS IS PEAK HIGH GRADE GUNPLA! - HG Gundam Schwarzette Review

[@willt9721]

So sad that Grassley never had a true gundam. They really stuck to the anti gundam business model. 😅 The Schwarzette is so cool tho, i love it. Probably my favourite within the whole series.

[@traphimawari7760]

You can always make your own although tbf the glass open cockpits that Grassley suits specifically the types used for dueling is very reminiscint of Turn A gundam so if ever there was a Grassley gundam it would probably look like Turn A

[@doomspud6302]

I feel like this is intended to be like a fallen angel. It was originally intended to use safe AI systems like the Darilbalde. But, when they decided to use the GUND format instead, it became a demon. That's why it has both a halo and horns. And why its bit on forms look like wings. Plus, the concept art shows that the prototype AI version had the halo, but didn't have the horns or skull like Gundam face, so it didn't look so evil.

[@brandonbugtai8346]

It didnt sell quick? The moment i saw it, i had to get it. The jeturk line is just my type of MS, stocky and thick. The wing gimmick is just a bonus for me

[@HoraPlamo]

Because of the first promotional images, I remember a lot of people think that the belly joint is going to loose, the color doesn't accurate, etc.

[@bidujador]

I happened to be at the Gundam Factory Yokohama last week and they had literally just put these on the shelf, and they were flying out just as fast. They pretty much ran out of their stock for that day within the two hours we were there. I'm glad I snatched one, can't wait to build it. I have a Caliban arriving in a couple of days so unless they're also making the gund-nodes, I'll have all the "Gundams" from the series.

[@willt9721]

I really hope they start making moulds for the gundnodes whilst this series is still relatively popular

[@boyfangirl6321]

If only G-Witch had at least 3-5 more episodes, this suit would've gotten the highlight it deserves.

[@ridhorizqs1032]

And this beast of a gundam design only got to fight once in the series. The last three episodes from wfm were just infuriating

[@MechaBorne]

Definitely felt a little blue balled but I’m rewatching. It would be so sick if they did a movie either after the finale or taking the last few episodes and reanimating them. Like how Demon Slayer added stuff to Mugen Train in S2, but in reverse lol

[@willt9721]

Three seasons would have done wfm more justice. I personally think that the whole Sophie Pulone and Norea in asticassia bit was rushed, so that could have been more fleshed out. Like reiner and bertholdt in paradis level. This would have given more time for the ending, and for the dawn of fold subplot to expand. And maybe, just maybe, more time to fit in a grassley gundam!!

[@ninryu4]

Blame Sunrise for not giving the production more episodes.

[@ridhorizqs1032]

​​​@@MechaBorneYeah bro, but i think it could've been much better if sunrise just gave this series a 40-50 episodes run that spreads across multiple cour/seasons. There were too many setups that can't be resolved satisfyingly in just 24 episodes😮

[@MechaBorne]

True, it was a banger of a series. I’m sad it’s over already. More Sophie and Norea would’ve been cool. Maybe more different Elan clones too lol

[@dochidesu]

My favorite time during G-Witch's airing was the weekly speculation on who'll pilot this suit. Suletta, Felsi, and Guel were all favorites to pilot this thing but it was given to Lauda of all people because of temper issues.

[@boshwa20]

I love how people are downplaying all the shit piling up on Lauda eventually peaking with finding out his brother killed their dad as nothing but a "temper issue" 😂

[@aya-7001]

​@@boshwa20(this is just my opinion and not fact). Just like most of the ending, the concepts and ideas were great but the execution could have been better. Like if they slowly developed his character from at the least the start of season 2 like riddhe, then it wouldn't have come off as flat.

[@praxis-cat870]

There's a lot of strong indications that once again, Sunrise execs interfered with a Gundam story and pushed the whole Lauda / Guel thing to the forefront for some reason.

[@nialltealeaf275]

@@praxis-cat870 They wanted Jerid-done-right/Io-post-PsychoNT vs. Riddhe from the start, and meddled with the likely intent of having Guel pilot it alongside Elan in the Pharact for maximum Hayato-Kai call-back in the fight between Calibarn (Banana Tanuki) and Aerial (Fem!Char and not!Rita) over Quiet Zero (Neo Zeong if it were an "angeru!").

I really prefer when you mechagaikotsu go all the FULL and deep articulation review and test

[@gamerkingdom1442]

I’m tempted to buy this kit 2 times…. Just to have 2 copies of those bits, so I can make it have ANGELIC WINGS BITS! I legitimately loved this HG!

[@breanna_bee]

For the pink on the eyes I'd suggest cutting out the leftover little bit of pink from the shell unit sticker edges. I did that for the shell unit in the head and the eyes of the Pharact (which also doesn't come with reflective stickers for the head) and it looks really nice.

[@MechaBorne]

Abridged version for articulation is ideal for me. They all have similar articulation points, but suit specific functions or limitations are nice to know! My favorite part is just admiring the paint/ finishing work and posing haha

[@thegreatarataki]

I just got mine awhile ago and DAMN, Schwarzette instantly became my fave HG G-Witch kit 🔥 The way they made those stickers is amazing. It's elegant yet it has so many gimmicks for a HG kit. WFM kit never disappoints 🔥

[@truedragonheart1458]

As someone who only got into Gundam thanks to iron blooded orphans and armored core this whole series has been awesome, this kit definitely gives heavy IBO vibes

[@paitoonkittiworakun3296]

I prefer full articulation review, and that is the main reason I choose your review over other KZbin reviewer. your full articulation review is detailed and easy to get a picture of what the kit can pose

[@keithkeith293]

Definitely prefer the full articulation show. Joints can differ how they work depending on the armor of the kit. Never assume that because 2 kits have the exact same internal structure that the articulation will be the same. Besides, I've miss the neck joint giggity.

[@Chinesetakeout382]

I didn’t like the design for a while, thought it looked a little lame. But then it started fighting and the shell unit began to glow, and it became one of the best designs in the series. I’m still personally more hyped for the Calibarn whever I can get my hands on it, but I’ll definitely eventually get this one too. It’s just such a shame we didn’t see more of it. In general, I really think the witch from mercury should have been longer, really show is more of what this kit can do.

[@EZ9636]

This month is a bless for gunpla. We got schwarzette and calibarn. Cant wait to get these two kits!

[@monstermasher6226]

love that mobility demonstration i have giant hands and had a problem with snapping joints because i wouldnt know if and how they are meant to move so these demonstrations help me a lot thank you

Just finished building mine today and I love it, fun build, and all the details! Super fun to play with.

[@dan_da5213]

This gundam reminds me so much of Medabot/Medarot designs but undeformed, especially the hooved feet, revolver forearms and that beautiful head. Love the Schwarzette the moment they showcased it in the anime.

[@sebastian.c7222]

Hoping they make a 1/100 full mechanics of this

[@zeddoverkill]

Man, I need to load up on the G-Witch kits soon! The Schwarzette is honestly one of my fave designs in the show, with that really oni-looking face and the Bit staves are really neat, too! But I AM super pumped to see Calibarn. Excellent review, MG!

[@TheGhostRydr]

I CANNOT wait for HLJ to fulfill my preorder, I'm dying to get my hands on this kit. Easily my favorite G-Witch design and definitely one of my top 5 favorite Gundam of all time!

[@grays_ks2791]

I adore this design, I knew from the moment I saw it that I would be getting this kit. Absolutely stunning I personally love the full articulation showcase and would prefer to have you keep them in your videos. Seeing each joint displayed and tested individually really gives me a better understanding of how the kit is structured and feels. And I need that giggity-giggity-giggity-goo in my life ❤ And thank you for your wonderful review, as always

[@artemicion6554]

Can’t wait for caliban that will, I believe, be absolutely phenomenal. But at the same time sad it will thé the last of this awesome line.

[@YuseiFudo_1774]

This Gundam reminds me of the Fake Nu Gundam armor from Build Divers Re:Rise, which was one of my favorite armors. I haven't been watching WoM, but I've had my eye on the model kits and this kit stands out along with the Calibarn, Pharact, Darilbalde, and Michaelis, they all look fantastic. The other kits are ok, but these are the only ones I really want to get.

[@KraakenTowers]

I see the Mirasoul fits on here nicely. If it's compatible, I would love to put the bits on in the "Nu Gundam" form on the left side, and then put a Wing Zero wing on the left. Of course, I would need to buy a Wing Zero first...

[@porakiyadraekojin3390]

This mobile suit has quickly skyrocketed to being my favorite mobile suit ever. The weapon alone is amazing and does everything that I love about the GN Sword V, and then some. It's pretty much if Sephiroth became a Gundam. I originally thought of it as Sephiroth x 00 Quanta, but now I think of it as Sephiroth + Quanta + X + God XD

[@PoisonClaw4]

I wasn't interested in this suit when it first appeared... until I actually saw it in action. Now I am eagerly awaiting getting my own and I am stoked that the model kit delivers.

[@kylea8795]

I’m hoping we get more mobile suit designs like this for future gundam series to come. I also hope Bandai continues to improve and advance their model making technology even further now, keep up the good work!

[@ClassicQuarterGamePlays]

[@NeoGato2point0]

I do like the full articulation segments. I associate articulation breakdowns like that with this channel. If it can help you get more videos out, then I don’t mind at all if you take out that section or make it more concise.

[@charaznabelle6796]

I'm gonna buy 2 of these gonna wait till the price drop. These WFM kits are the new generation of 1:144 HG bandai really going all out for HG this year

[@omideixis]

this is one of my top five on my wishlist, it is so gorgeous and unique

[@NT-wg1fg]

Low key think the artist put that halo to reference the “inspiration” from the Halo franchise armor……… That head looks like some Spartan helmet…..

[@verbatos9498]

This suit seriously looks like it was intended for Suletta to pilot, from the name (meaning woman in black) to the framing in the story, it was absolutely WASTED on Lauda. It feels like the showrunners were planning around having almost double the runtime that they ended up having, and had to cut and sew up the whole story in a few episodes, so the Schwarzette was just given to the B-grade antagonist of the B-plot, so they could still sell the kits. Ripper of a design regardless.

I stopped following Gunpla for about 12 months, not sure if I'm getting back into the hobby but kits like this make me consider it. Edit: I have returned to the plastic crack and Calibarn made me do it.

[@angriestchezburger]

This gundam is my favorite from the whole series, but I really wish they gave it to Guel, the pink still works with his color scheme and he had the potential to make it so much more badass rather than wildly swinging and shooting like Lauda did

[@chrisgomez3486]

[@slizer88]

I usually lose focus during the full articulation segments. I think you can definitely abridge it. I don't need to see every joint moving, just to know how far they can go. It could just be a slideshow of each joint fully extended and fully bent (or say it can rotate 0-360 degrees), with any notes you have on things being in the way. Or, you could just tell us if there are any joints that have more or less than standard articulation, and skip any joints that are standard.
