I liked the designs of all the four main Gundams from Gundam Age. It's sad that Bandai cancelled the master grade production of the Age-3 and Age-FX due to the show's low ratings.

[@vustvaleo8068]

sadly they cancelled the MG Age-3, Age-FX, and Gafran, they are awesome designs, as for the anime, as bad it is, it still introduced a new concept to Gundam which is three generations of a family fighting the same war which to me is like a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure thing but sadly executed poorly, imagine if Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, and Stardust Crusaders together being compressed into just 50 episodes and you know why.

Gundam Age was my first experience with Gundam and Gunpla. The High Grade Age 1 Normal and Age 1 Titus are the first 2 model kits I've ever built. Since then, the Age 1 Normal's arms are broken and Age 1 Titus' legs are also broken. Someday I need to get their Master Grade versions to give them the justice they truely deserve

"A Spoiler " That's why we called it: auto-MOBILE suit

[@jackielee297]

[@Brawler_1337]

Real talk, but that spoiler is actually an antenna for the AGE system. It communicates combat data collected by the mobile suit back to the factory so it can make new wears. It’s pretty clever, actually, since I’ve seen real life radar antennae that look like that.

[@SetsunaFSeiei-vt7tf]

Hey Mecha! There's a MG AGE kit you forgot to fully review. That is the MG AGE-2 Double Bullet. You only had just unboxed it. Pls make a review on it! It at least has been 3 or more years since you made the part 1 of the kit!

It is kind of funny... He designed both mechs for both series and yet so many people hate on AGE because it looks simpler, and apparently that makes it 'kiddier', than the 00 designs. Honestly G-AGE reminds me so much of what early Gundam series look like. Though less Bishounen than some of them...

[@satriagotama]

AGE-1 sure looks like RX-78, maybe the things that make AGE series feel cildish is the character design, i mean they have to be a pilot on such a young age

[@matturdayhaynesworth493]

My Gundam obsession started when my brother got me the RG Exia for Christmas last year. Oh man, the detail, the parts, the engineering, the craftsmanship required to build a kit + the real feeling of accomplishment once you've completed it really does something for me. I've since purchased the MG RX-78-02 and built it to completion with the additions of paneling as well as Gundam markers (base/metallic sets +ex chrome) man it's crazy how personal you can make these models. It's part modelling, part crafting, part engineering and assembly it's too fun

I LOVED building this kit. And I would absolutely love to see them make the new Gundam Build Divers variant with the funnels. I should get the other two variants of this kit regardless.

[@natguevara2870]

Kanetake Ebikawa, one of Gundam 00 mechanical designers, also designed for Gundam AGE, that's why the designs are similar

[@JTMC93]

Honestly G-AGE felt like a throwback to MSG, Zeta, ZZ, and oddly G-Wing with its art style... The main difference was it went less Bishounen for its characters unlike G-Wing. Edit: The tab on the sabers is because in the original plan this unit would share sabers with other units that would use hands like the recent RG's & MG's IIRC. The ones where the hand is split in two and the fingers/thumbs are able to be popped off to hold things. In fact for a short time there were optional hands compatible with the AGE-1 to make it have that type of hand. The main issue with the AGE kits for me was they were made in a time when Bandai was having great ideas but weren't including them in production kits yet. Mainly these ideas were tested in options kits and kits for non-Gundam franchises. Edit2: Also I really want an RG kit of all 4 main AGE Gundams and their wear kits... I might even accept them being P-Bandai. Especially if Bandai follows through with making P-Bandai available in other countries like they hinted at last year. Apparently it ties into them creating/expanding Gundam Base Centers, not only Gundam focused stores with a plethora of merchandise but also Arcades for Gundam Games, in other countries. Edit3: That drop out section @15:20 is for the Spallow's Sword and something else that was supposed to be released later on. Sadly... It apparently never will be released.

[@StrikeFreedom72]

If the AGE 1 is the original gundam, does that mean that the AGE FX is the Nu/Unicorn gundam? Edit: I find the gundam designs nostalgic because I used to watch Gundam AGE when I was young.😌

[@g1sixshot]

Ah the MG AGE-1 kit. Took me a while to build that but only because I went all out on panel lining, decals, AND spraying a matt finish top coat on it. And boy did it ever look good. I grabbed the AGE-1 for similar reason: the color scheme and design is very retro-ish to the ol' RX-78-2. I've been meaning to do other gunpla kits that I got over the years but I really really REALLY need to get them started and planned out.

[@Argj1226]

This kit is so good I wish they finished the whole AGE line!! Here’s looking at you AGE fx

[@UMIF001]

Gundam Age has kinda weird and unique design, It's like teenage version of Grandaddy gundam I think since Gundam 00 Bandai/Sunrise start experimenting some new Gundam design

[@JTMC93]

I would say that started with G Gundam... Though most series tone down the craziness to fit more in the Real Robot sub-genre instead of the Super Robot sub-genre. Heck, G-00 was essentially a modernized, and a bit realistic in its idealism, version of G-Wing. (Small number of custom super powerful mobile suits named Gundams fighting to try and accomplish a major goal and ultimately try to end all wars in the Earth Sphere.) I think the main issue is G-00 got so many people into Gundam then it was followed by a series closer to the older series. Kind of like how people who were introduced by G-Gundam & G-Wing reacted to SEED & Destiny or how those introduced by the 2 SEED series reacted to G-00.

[@jepoy26]

Don't know if you already knew this but one minor cool feature is that you can actually fit the standing pilot on that opening hatch of the cockpit (13:43).

[@ohjeezriles]

The aesthetic or visual profile of the back spoiler on AGE is I think why I like the Aile Striker pack and similar packs for Seed mobile suits - almost lends them a bit of a Valkyrie/Veritech flair.

[@videopolice432]

I like how the backpack looks like the end of a race car.

[@chosetec]

Hey the beam sabers probably have that tab hole maybe because of an injection molding limitation. It keeps the wall thickness of the part low so it won't warp when it comes out of the mold. If it didn't have the hole/slot, there's more of a mass of plastic to warp.

[@kai1915]

At 15:07 i couldn't help but giggle seeing two faces on the but flap. Can't unsee it now

[@jrmarcus]

Almost done with this kit. Trying to put on the stickers. It’s my first MG. I saw this in a shop after watching this video. I don’t have a ton of experience, built some Gundam 00 NGs, and various SDs, and HGs. This kit has some problems. The biceps have a short peg that falls out easily when trying to pose it. The cockpit and chest vents are a pain to put together. The shoulders are hard to keep in place when putting on the arms. The skirt, like he shows in the video, is hard to keep together. Seems like this kit would benefit from having some cement around. And, this is probably more my inexperience, the stickers were so infuriating to put on. I bought this as practice for an MG Rx-78-2 Ver. 2 kit I got for Christmas. I don’t think I’m ready for that, yet. Maybe I’ll try a new MG first. I’d just feel bad about doing a bad job on the kit I got as a gift.
