[@arjhezanimating558]

I can hear "YES YOUR HIGHNESS!" once again... queue Suzaku Spin Kick.

[@Peeegeon113]

YES YOUR MAJESTY!!

[@Matanumi]

One is enough.... with LANCELOT ALBION

[@Alan-mr2ge]

never heard of a code geass kit. i loved the series a ton and it helped me get into a ton of other mecha anime. so glad i can put something on my shelf that represents my adoration for the show

[@isthatbraised]

Yeah I've only seen the action figures of the mecha, I think the Gawain had one?

[@501clonetrooper]

they pretty much don't restock the geass kits anymore making the supply much worse than zeta, cca, and unicorn minor suits. There is a reason this was P-Bandai and not regular release. If you want the geass kits for a reasonable price, don't get your hopes up.

[@tristain0]

@@501clonetrooper they do restock it but its just painfully not that frequent. But yeah having a reasonable price with this kits are some thing you would not expect.

[@wulf8889]

It got restocked last year that how I got mine. The Royal Coating ver.. Tho I gave to guess they aren't exactly hot items cuz it was pretty limited. The Guren and Lancelot sold out in my country but I can still see the Vincent and Alexander not budging much.

[@lordwisehammer]

They were really bad compared to their contemporary 00 kits.

[@yx92ify]

Oh no, no pilot??? The hunched over 1/35 Kallen was the absolute best part of the old HG Guren!

[@ferre9705]

Hehe of course it was

[@n0fairzer0]

Idunno if it's the camera, or the lighting, or what, but that titanium gold looks absolutely GORGEOUS on that kit. Super great call.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

It turned out way better than expected. I Forgot to mention it in the video but I also gave the gold and red two healthy coats of mr hobby gloss topcoat to make it really shine

[@pUREsTORM9267]

The titanium gold really gives the Lancelot a more regal look that was never quite there in the anime. I much prefer the paler shade of gold compared to the standard yellow gold.

[@user-zx4vb3hh4q]

Got this kit a while ago and I love the articulations and designs, I especially love that they decided to add the posing hand for the M.E. Boost and the holder to attach 2 Rifles which isn’t anime accurate but still cool as hell. Also if your planning to modify the kit in the future and cutting the connection pegs half way to make it easier to disassemble, be aware that the thigh parts are rly easy to fall apart (other parts connect together perfectly even if the pegs are cut halfway). So unless your not going to do any modification or custom builds immediately after you straight build the kit, I recommend you just done do anything with it. Having high hopes for the HG code geass lines, hopefully we get stuff like Lancelot Albion zero or Lancelot siN. Maybe even a HG Lancelot 2.0

[@_urahara_]

I love Code Geass and the fact that it existed at the same period as Gundam 00 made those times special. Great mechs, animation, and story ❤️

[@veezerrscharnhorst]

My god, i just watched Code Geass for the first time in March as my birthday gift for myself, my mind was blown. Just how i haven't watch it long ago. Code Geass became my top 2 series off all time

[@thespicer]

This looks so good, so excited that Bandai decided to do this. Really hope we get other kits from this line, would love to see some of the older kits get updated as well.

[@chaious1040]

In the past, I've never really been a fan of non- Gunpla kits, they just didn't seem to have the same quality and detail of Gundam kits, I was always disappointed, even after painting and trying to modify the kit proportions to match the anime, so I just started to avoid them... but over the past year or so, that's no longer true, all the non- Gunpla kits you've been reviewing keeps amazing me, these kits are finally getting the attention to detail they deserve and I've done a complete 180 on my attitude... especially this Lancelot Albion... and I think the titanium gold makes it look better than original colors, as compared to the other images I've seen for this kit... it's a great idea, even if it was a kinda make do accident... lol... I'll be keeping my eye out to pick up this kit and copying your new color scheme... thanx for another great review and painting idea...

[@MechaGaikotsu]

My sentiments exactly! They're really impressive now. I still have a couple of SRW ones, 84, Kyoukai senki and evangelion lying on the backlog that I need to get back to. Bandai have really been spreading the love to other series lately!

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

Given how the RG line is now delving outside Gundam territory starting with Eva and now Gaogaigar, I was hoping to get RG's of the Knightmare Frames too; and I think it's very fitting. But hey, indeed this isn't as bad as I thought it would be. With that out of the way, sing it with me: JIBUN WOOOOOO....

[@austinreed7343]

I’d love to see some RG Zords done, especially Dragon Caesar.

[@I_am-lost.]

They could do a rg, and maybe try putting the sword in the scabbard that would be sick

[@dahoomancentipee9461]

Thank you, Mecha for putting more spotlight on Code Geass then it already has a lot of. It's my 2nd favorite anime of all time and even though I love Gundam, it's without a doubt my favorite mecha anime. Which is funny because unlike Gurren Lagann and Gundam, the mechas in that anime aren't the main focus. It's just a bonus/extra credit because I fell in love with the characters of Code Geass, not the Mechs.

[@susanooblack4181]

i wanted more but at the same time it wrapped up so perfectly

[@RayOfTruth]

I wouldn't say mechs in most Gundam anime are focused on anymore than in Code Geass. In some like Gundam 0080 and Hathaway I'd say the opposite is true.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

The characters and the character design is the heart of Code Geass.

[@gundam5281]

Oh shut up with that blasphemous nonsense about Gundam primarily being focused on the Mecha. You don't deserve to be here.

[@navigatorhat]

The original Code Geass kits that came out as the show aired were so good for their time even if the Lancelot needed painting. The Guren Nishiki was perfect with its articulated claw hand. The Vincent was also good. Loved the purple Guildford custom. Shame the Sutherland and other grunts never got the same love. Would have built a squad of them!

[@WarpsmithAdam]

We'll hopefully at least get a Guren mk2, but its probably too much to ask to get a full range of Knightmares from Code Geass. I would love to have a Burai or Sutherland kit so much.

[@cribabey]

I adore code geass so much and I'm glad to see they made a new updated kit after so long. Great vid as always. also, i really like the look of the silvery-gold you put on the Lancelot, it makes it look sort of angelic in a way since its much lighter.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

The gold turned out much better than expected! I better have a nice silver ready in case they do plan to release a version of Guren!

[@EikoandMog]

Got one of these for myself and can't wait to build it. I really hope there's some more Code Geass kits in the future!

[@kolinmartz]

I bought it and I love it. Man I wish they’d finally release Cornelia’s Gloucester and Todo’s Zangetsu.

[@ElliotButch23]

I ended up doing pretty much the same thing with my Tallgeese Flugel. I painted all the yellow red and light gray in metallic and it just pops so well

[@seanklingle139]

This looks absolutely amazing and gives a knight like vibe. Definitely something I'll be looking into. A great review as always!

[@thisisaname2250]

Pre Ordered this one from BigBadToyStore and still waiting for it. Can’t wait to get it. REALLY hoping we get a Guren Seiten since I’ve always liked the Guren a bit more.

[@MrEnKaye]

Keeeeeep waiting my friend, I haven't had a preorder fulfilled from BBTS since January. Best of luck to you though!

[@Lucas-iSL]

As the other person said, prepare to wait, then get ready to wait some more. Ordered from them before Christmas and it still hasn't even shipped.

[@TheAdorkableRJ]

We can probably expect a Guren SEITEN soon enough, but I hope they don't stop there. There are a lot of awesome Knightmares that still have yet to get the model kit treatment. Gawain, Shinkiro, Zangetsu, Shen Hu, Gloucester, Tristan, Mordred, Galahad, and many more.

[@ninobeano7627]

i hope gawain comes after the seiten since its arguably lelouches most iconic knightmare

[@venator30jackal79]

It'd be really awesome to get a SEITEN, especially if it gets the same treatment as the Albion

[@kolinmartz]

Not gonna lie. I wish they’d also make some of the grunt units.

[@501clonetrooper]

unfortunately thing for those hoping to get the hg code geass line is they pretty much next to never stock the kits anymore making the supply worse than some of the rarer hguc and mg uc. And as a p bandai kit, the price will be higher and a tougher sell.

[@kryse4806]

I will pretend that I cant read just for this comment

[@SnowTrooper98]

I literally find it in a random manga shop, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one

[@ThreeG456]

My local hobby store got these in stock now so I'm going to head there and check the price. Will edit when I'm back. (EDIT: Wow I wasn't expecting it to be $49. I was expecting a little more)

[@NazTH]

but the question is; can the kit pull the spin kick pose though?

[@josephanthony1277]

That paint job looks sick

[@Ethan_488]

We need a Gawain, guren, and shinkirō. And the rest. I could see a lot of people buying.

[@boost3821]

Lancelot Albion in a form of a kit is really is an awesome kit to get for Code Geass collection. Nice kit there.

[@sharingansasuke5]

The one this I wish this kit had was the cockpit and pilot figures from the old 1/35. Otherwise it’s an amazing kit! Great review, good to see Geass love from you. Also banger job on that color scheme! Got the Akito the exiled lineart gold. Also nice that this kit has a double rifle storage option, which the Albion has NEVER had before. Only one. I think gold tier is very fair and deserved, newer Bandai HGs come with fantastic color separation and articulation usually but they are skimped on the accessory’s because of it. The Geass kits can’t do that naturally, and so their color separation leaves something to be desired because of it (which is okay) .

[@chronoslandestine2256]

Has been in my shoping cart from time ago, Have been wondering if I should buy or not. Definitely will be in the buying list for a change. Thank for review

[@lucianosegura2588]

I managed to find a IFX-V301 Gawain a few weeks ago, can't wait to get the lancelot too!

[@CanonicalBomb]

For your info Mecha, the color scheme you choose the muter gold titanium is based from the design from Code Geass Akito the Exiled between r1 and r2

[@andrewcarter9649]

I still have the old HG Lancelot and Guren, this looks like a massive improvement over those.

[@gerardthewizard4541]

We need kits for Issei Hyoudou’s Red Dragon Emperor Armor, and Vali’s White Dragon Emperor Armor, I mean they got wing blueprints already cuz of Lancelot, and Tail blue prints cuz of the Epyon Heat Rod

[@Euphylibrittania]

Thank you for reviewing LANCELOT ALBION ❤️

[@LordJerimiah]

I have 2 of these. I can't wait to build them. I'm looking forward to see them release a 1/35 Guren SEITEN.

[@SanadaUsako]

I ordered this from Gundam Planet and am still waiting, but I’m happy to know it will seemingly be worth the wait!

[@vustvaleo8068]

meanwhile in the Super Robot Wars games Lelouch straight up pilots his own custom Wing Gundam Zero Endless Waltz version which has yet to be released as a kit, lol.

[@shauqiharris2772]

Definitely buy that despite it being P-Bandai.

[@6318374]

There needs to be a Master Grade line of the code geass knightmares

[@rayne21x]

Love the review. The amount of stickers sucks but I'll keep my eye on this kit if I ever come across it. Also MechaG, I'm shocked you didn't try to put this in a "spinzaku" pose 😂

[@mashu_sukotto]

The Land spiners are also supposed to go all the way out to the side in the original

[@gabriellopez1134]

I'm definitely adding Tamiya Titanium Gold spray to my shopping list! 😀

[@darkendbeing]

Code Geass to this day is still my favorite anime, nice to see their kits are getting some love.

[@Hangryman9038]

I'm glad that the titanium gold worked. I was just working on a kit that I wanted to use the same spray for and it kept running and clumping on anything I tried it on. I hope mine was just from a bad batch and that isn't a regular problem with tamiya spray cans.

[@someone_one_one]

I got started on that old hg Lancelot and guren, I was looking for code geass merch and I found those kits along with the vincent. Those were the first kits I built before I even knew what I was doing and I built them using just the manual and some scissors.

[@albertko1]

I really like the Titanium Gold though I think a shiny glossy gold would also look good... I think I might do a Flat red though. This is also a regular release in Taiwan!

[@fishpop]

Is it weird that i knew Code Geass more for it's ending before i ever knew it was a mecha anime? Mainly cos i learned of the show via anime lists on KZbin.

[@nashafathiaalazhar6341]

Some guy : The perfect code geass kit doesnt exi- The perfect code geass kit: am i a joke to you?

[@ejrodriguez2656]

The only merch from code geass that I know of are detailed action figures and statues with some interchangeable parts but never model kits I'm so into this, tell us more. 😁

[@Samuraiedge2]

Back then there were model kits when the show aired but said kits are very scarce these days.

[@fadhil_m3]

Whew, I have the Royal Coating version of the old Lancelot, might as well pick this one in the store for comparison

[@synysterpain]

I loved code glass but I didn't think much about their mechas. Like tbh I couldn't tell you if you asked me, the names or designs of em lol I mostly stayed for the plot

[@quiquecruz2890]

AMAIM ghosr review when ?In all seriousness thanks for doing what you do, these reviews have been extremely helpful in building my collection!

[@elmorientez3787]

"Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you, all of you, Go watch Code Geass!"

[@glitched4745]

As a Code Geass fan I'm so glad i found this video i would definitely buy one once available

[@ChaosFS]

Imagine if this had been an RG.

[@Kuonluw]

I'm so glad I pre-ordered this one.

[@Tysugan]

Question for anyone who might know: What is the thing at 3:25 that Mecha Gaikotsu is building on?

[@Popeye-1986]

Wondering the same thing!

[@malcay5550]

YES! MECHA FINALLY REVIEWED THIS LETS GO

[@schaksi631]

I'd recommend taking a look at some of kotobukiya's non scale Muv-Luv kits. Despite being from the 2012s the have some interesting mechanics and details. When i was buildeing the F22 from Muv Luv i was blow away by the ridiculous shoulder movment. Double jointet shoulder armor with a sliding gimminck to enable mor atticualtion for the arm. Havent seen something like that on a bandai kit

[@abrahamambriz892]

The real questions is... Can it Spinzaku?

[@elmorientez3787]

Bandai seriously needs to stop using P-Bandai for kits that would sell really well generally. Between this and the likes of the Sandrock Kai, it's really getting on my nerves.

[@MrJustintyang]

Can't wait to see your Metal Build Guren review next year then.

[@gamerkingdom1442]

ITS A CODE GEASS KIT!? It looks so phenomenal!

[@TheMattTrakker]

I have the robot spirits of Lancelot, but pre ordered this as well. Glad that it looks pretty decent

[@awenstar6864]

Ngl that wing look really cool

[@goblindotbest]

I had NO idea this was coming

[@CarlosGarcia-mp7ox]

where did he buy the bandai action base he is using in the video? I can't find it anywhere

[@Davsand14]

Found it in a store, found your video... paid the model, thank you!

[@dorky2958]

Mecha i think i can learn a thing or two if you make videos on how you prepped and paint kits

[@super8ben]

0:09 Add Eureka Seven to that list for me!

[@megaflux7144]

how is it part of the backlog if it came out this year?

[@LockeLynx]

Wow, didn't think that this thing would end up being as tall as my 1/144 Sinanju Stein kit. Damn. Now i have to consider if kitbashing with this is cknna be a good investment or not.

[@crusty.kamikaze]

Did you prime before applying the gold or did you spray the gold right onto the runner? Was thinking of painting the gold too so I wanted to know exactly what you did

[@nm2358]

I'm liking that metallic finish

[@Azraelson]

That titanium gold looks amazing! What do you use for a primer and topcoat for this? Really want to change the gold on it myself but have no experience with painting whatsoever

[@NeoSlashott]

Never forget Magic Knight Rayearth, their mecha designs way similar. 😍😍

[@axl19902]

anyone able to find this on buyee? i searched what he said to search in the description and i just get an error

[@PARADOX672]

In the painting did you use spray paint or a airbrush?

[@l...7245]

Wish the ahield would be see thru plastic or like the wings

[@NerdsIAB]

Out of curiosity what is the weird zaku build mat thing you were building on??

[@beniirama4076]

yes, your majesty!

[@worth_kachi]

I love how he put a meme as the title

[@reynn9181]

Hey what happens with latest 30ms review vid? like its gone

[@thundergeese5670]

Man, wish I could've gotten the Albion now that there's a hg Guren Seiten on the horizon.

[@josephsuh525]

Really wish they made more new Code Geass Knightmare Frames, especially a Grunts units.

[@samdiaz2911]

I felt I would gate code geass when it premiered boy was I wrong what an excellent series

[@allanperez8743]

What's that box where you build and put parts on?

[@jon-erickbulaclac4206]

Do you guys think that he put black primer before he put the titanium gold? And can you put the gold titanium right away? I want to try it

[@yoshihirogamer]

It would've been nice to see the HG versions of Gurren lagann for Bandai's next model kit project that makes more easier and better to build than Goodsmile modelroid

[@ravenXnightmare]

whats the box you are using to build the kits on? i want one too. any sponsored link? xD

[@shauqiharris2772]

The mascot of Code Geass.

[@TheTwindrive]

I had been trying to hope for RG Lancelot when i first heard of Evangelion kits, sad for not able to get a Rg

[@wtfpanda6685]

can you try putting Barbatos Lupus head on it? XD would the torse fit with other 1/144 gunpla limbs???

[@pauljohnleryfranciscobacay9596]

Code Geass franchise is my Favorite and the Best Anime 💙💙💙

[@pokitcheze2253]

holy whoa, wasn't expecting that

[@Darkai.76]

mecha would you do an anniversary review on your first Gundam that you review in the channel

[@NickDyers]

Bandai, we NEED mass produced Burei/Glasgow/Sutherland/Glouchester/Akatsuki ~

[@begobogo2583]

'One is all you need with Lancelot Albion'

[@abdulrahmanazmi7042]

I have this kit. So far, this is the best kit I have in collection.

[@YiminyCricket]

ok but when we gettin' a Wing Zero Rebellion?

[@kaiserkerbeus1652]

I have some serious, serious White Dragon Emperor vibes from those wings
