Hello Mecha gaikotsu man I like the build series sang it change my mind

[@Raven_D_Void]

Hello Mecha i dont know if you built an hg acguy sometime but its a really good kit even though its old (give us thunderbolt version bandai) it was my first gunpla back in the days and its what got me into the hobby, Otherwise the old 1/144 and 1/100 kits from the 80ths are supergreat models to make custom out of. Some of them looks different from the new ones but thats what makes them so great, so you should do one of those sometime and put your magic to it. I highly recommend the old juagg as a base ^^ i used parts from the hi mock and acguy parts to make mine and i think thats my favorite gunpla i built so far

You know a MG Core Gundam would be a PBandai kit because of the PLANETS System.

[@saint3614]

Y'know, the Core Gundam could make one hell of an MGEX. The EX aspect could be that the kit includes ALL of the armours for it, and the appropriate engineering to make them work.

A MG Core Gundam would be interesting, because it wouldn't be 1/100 but "bigger" than 1/1?

[@trougas]

HG is really nice nowadays, I used to only buy hg too cause its all i can afford, but now, that i can afford MGs, I still return to HG cause how simplistic and easy to mod they are. Well, some MG(albeit old ones) are kind of affordable, some even cheaper than HG moon gundam in my country. But be very aware that they are old, they might not be very articulated, but they are nice and detailed, such as MG dom, MG gp01s....well its still 2-3x the price of your typical economic hg(e.g hg revive rx, leos, fine build systems hgs)but I think they are nice for the price. But yeah, if most of your collections are in 1/144 scale, might as well migrate to RGs when you can afford it just to keep it uniform in scale. But personally, HG is still my favourite line due to how complete the line is. Lesser known ms such as geminass, plutone, and msv machines which are kind of hard to get MG, all got nice HGs. Forgot to add that some HGs are leaps and bounds better than the MG counterpart, such as ground gundam, gundam unit 4&5, gouf custom, etc.

[@vandybowling5108]

I love HG kits. Especially the more recent ones. They're easy to build and sooooo customizable. I have so many kitbash ideas and so little time to flesh them all out. Customizing gunpla is so much fun.

[@wavewingman5993]

I've never been able to do customs with anything Real Grade or above. Which is fortunate, because it lets me keep things cheap.

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

20:10 - True, it's a mortal sin for Bandai to not have reprinted the GM/GM in a long while.

[@chinzynator]

The cheesemaster is only useful for one thing for me at least: supply of cheap parts for my HGCE Providence rebuild.

[@ToastyTravis19]

I definitely feel like the new-ish Gouf Custom HG is a phenomenal kit. It's sturdy, articulate, and the wire it comes with as the grapple hook holds up so well. It can hold all of its weapons beautifully, and even it's shield with the full Gatlin gun on it. It is probably my favorite HG kit so far

[@mikd157]

I have one. It’s great, but I broke the waist ball joint the same day I got it :(

[@mr.b89]

Just got the battlogue gouf (the crimson one) for cheap for black Friday! I'm so excited to do it once I'm finished with mg char zaku 2.0

[@fabianrojas7577]

For me the best high grade has to be the Destiny "revive" and I have a few reasons why it is. Amazing build, a lot of content, great build and almost near perfect color separation. Let's also not forget that it have effect parts which could have been a p-bandai set but they aren't.

[@baddubs2826]

Avoid the HG Lupus Rex as your first, noodle legs to the max. I got it as my first Gunpla and it became dissapointing the more gunpla I built. stiffening the legs up and getting a stand for it tho, it actually looks really nice on the shelf. I just wouldn't pose it too much anymore

7:31 This is the problem.

[@sph9564]

I agree. I think a lot of the older HGs have merit. The HG Alex (look at Kakarots video) actually looks pretty great, the original mono eye gang were also great kits just without modern frills. I don’t like how mecha just assume poly caps = bad when that isn’t necessarily 100% true.

[@fayu_daniel]

I agree. But I think his point still stands, none of those kits would make into the list since he puts in Messer (except for the Doven Wolf probably. Man, that thing is sexy). The thing is, Bandai didn't pay much attention to the mono-eyes, especially in terms of articulation. At least not until the Origin line. Mono-eyes need more love, Bandai.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

@@fayu_daniel Well, most of the mono-eyes were chunky bois at the time, so articulation wasn't the primary draw. Their epic designs and superiority over those puny GMS and Guncannons was definitely one of their primary selling points tho.

God, I want a master grade Core Gundam so bad too. But it's gonna be suffering even if it ever happens because all the armors (and probably Core Gundam 2) would be P-Bandai. I'd at least like a Nepteight the most cause that thing makes me feel feelings and the HG doesn't do it justice.

[@lucasrios2089]

every time I think about MG Core Gundam, I just assume that if it were to ever exist it would (unfortunately) regular release as earthree, then the rest of the planet armors would be P-Bandai

[@youmgsandwiche]

@@lucasrios2089 Yeah that was what I was thinking too, I was pretty misleading in hindsight cause I just assumed it was a given Core Gundam would come with Earthree armor. At most I can see a Core Gundam 2 with Uraven armor as another release (though probably unlikely since they don't seem to have put out a lot of MG Build kits ever since the original Build Fighters), the rest would just be P-Bandai. Can't deny I still want it though cause I really love the whole concept behind the Core Gundam.

[@lucasrios2089]

@@youmgsandwiche I agree on all fronts, and although I wouldn’t want them to reduce their focus on Seed and OO, if it were for any series, I’d want it to be Build, there are still so many kits begging for MGs and even RGs or kits at all

[@youmgsandwiche]

@@lucasrios2089 I really want an MG 00 Sky Moebius too. That new color scheme really turned me around on the design, apart from that I guess the only other Build design I really want badly as an MG is X Maoh, if only because of how frustrating it is that Mao is one of the more important characters in OG Build Fighters but he never got an MG (also I'm really biased towards X because it's my favorite gundam design lol)

[@IlanMuskat]

The HG The Origin Bugu. It is honestly the best high grade ever. Perfect material, near-limitless poseability, justice for mono-eye, vivid, lush coloration, incredibly robust inner frame, beautiful cat-whisker face, embarassingly generous surface detail, and full compatibility with all the Origin accessories. I would encourage everyone to indulge in the HG Bugu. I understand your reasoning for the gradual reversal on the G40, but ever since seeing the "Don't Stop 'till You Get Enough" gunpla dance video, I've had endless admiration for the audacity of the design. It's wildly different and unique, and you're right that calling it a "High Grade" is a complete misnomer. It's almost "concept grade". Finally, I have to cape for the HG Turn A. I know everyone's always over the moon about its MG model, but the HG Turn A is like absolutely nothing else. And they capture those beautiful Syd Mead curves with a level of poetry and elegance I didn't think possible at this scale.

[@IlanMuskat]

And if we're talking The Origin kits, I thought you just reviewed the Dom Test Type -- an absolute champion of mono-eye kits, with maybe the single coolest gun of any model, and *ridiculous* poseability for its bulk. Dom Test Type 5eva!

The GM GM was a honest shock to me, but it makes alot of sense. One of my personal favorites is the Gundam Kimaris Trooper, I love the idea of a gundam with a ground-mobility transformation, like the complete opposite of the Zeta design philosophy. Its fun and I love it. I did replace the head of mine with the R-Gyagya's head, and ive been meaning to get some nice paint to redo the thing in more nobel colors

[@Elehk99]

I’d say my favorite HGs are either the Try Burning or the Hyaku Shiki revive. Both are phenomenally solid with exactly the accessories you’d want and have amazing articulation. My least favorite by far is the Flag from 00. I love the design to death but the kit is far too spindly to hold its own weight. It constantly falls over, can barely hold its weapons, and the transformation barely works

[@cturtles9514]

Surprised the Revive Grandpa didn't make it! I think that's a must-have high grade.

[@Ultraelectromagnetic]

After seeing the Messer in action in the Hathaway movie I knew I had to have one, so after watching your review of it, I bought the kit. The HG Messer was only my second ever gunpla and it was such an enjoyable build that I think it solidified my desire to build more kits.

11:00 "Or if you're very very desperate [...] you could get the robot damashii" Hey as a Damashii/MB collector I resent that lol.

I haven’t built the hg Phenex, but I have built the banshee, and it honestly isn’t that bad, good even.

[@einsilsvalier2952]

For me my absolute favorite, it has gotta be the Xi Gundam, and the Moon Gundam. For the first time I felt that not using any polycaps was actually really nice. The engineering on those two are just superb, they don't really need any stickers and are extremely sturdy, well except for Moon's floppy psycho plates, I mean, they stay together pretty well, but they flop, and it's giving me the MG Nu Gundam Ver ka. ptsd... Aside from that, they just look so damn good and presentable OOB, heck I didn't even panel line either of them and they still look fantastic. In fact, I'm thinking of picking up the Xi VS Penelop effect suit because the Xi Gundam is just way too good to be in only 1 form (for my current one, I'm having it in flight form). Plus the decals that came with it, also having the Penelope is an extra plus. Edit: I'm using "For the first time" because HG Farsia absolutely sucked, maybe I was an amateur when I built it back when it first released, the ball joints for the legs and hands loosened up and now she's flopping like an actual Woody doll. In other words, the HG Farsia definitely did not Age well.

Kit bash question for anyone who can answer! Looking to do a HG kit bash between Barbatos Lupus Rex and Freedom Gundam (non-strike). From videos I've found I think the Freedom wings will fit into the sides of the Rex's backpack (please confirm/deny if you know). I really want to know if the side skirt railguns on the Freedom attach with a similar/same mechanism as the Rex's side skirts. This will be a quick and dirty kit bash with quick paint. I own the Rex, so yes I know it is a finicky kit that needs A LOT of love to work. Opinions, questions please...

The Moon Gundam is FANTASTIC!!! It was a ton of fun to build and that plastic is smooth. Most of my favorites fall into the Origins line. I love all of the Origins Zaku that I've built, and I'd have to say my favorite kit in my collection is probably the RX-78-2 Origins version. It's so posable and all of those weapon options are awesome. However, I was not a huge fan of the Origins Guntank. That kit frustrated me to no end, brittle parts and a repetitive build. I enjoyed building the HG Guncannon as well. Sort of an outdated kit, but a fun build with a surprising amount of posing potential. Ohhh... One of my least favorites was the HG Banshee Norn... that thing is a brick full of loose joints. The Narrative Gundam was a let down too.

Only bought the Perfect Strike just for the accessories and didn't touch the main MS) 3. Sword Impulse Gundam (again, the old HGSEED one... Thank God for the better P-Bandai one!) 2.

Sorry I’m gonna be an arse and do a top ten favorite instead of top 5 of favorite and least favorite. Top ten favorite HGs that I’ve built atm. 10: marsfour 9: helmwige reincar 8: bugu ramba ral 7: destiny gundam 6: efreet shneid (would be the efreet nacht but I can’t afford one lol) 5: geara doga 4: Barbatos lupus 3: moon gundam 2: graze commander type 1: sinanju Stein narr My list is always changing and most are interchangeable on the list. Some runner ups: origin rx-78-2, origin zaku II char or gun cannon, ibo frame shiden, try burning Gundam, jesta, kampfer, age 1 Titus, geara zulu, windham, Uranus. What your top ten?

Favorite HG: 5) Hyaku Shiki - Solid gunpla with nice details and suprisingly good articulation 4) Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom - THICC gundam, nice design, the legs articulations are a bit on the meh side, best to pose on an action base stand 3) Kampfer - Old gunpla but it is so damm good design and articulation wise 2) Zudah - Nice design, has a weird shield rotation gimmick that work well plus a big motherfcuking sniper rifle, best to pose on an action base stand 1) Z2/ Zeta 2 - If you like a tall Zeta with nice design for an not too old gunpla kit then this is the gunpla for you Honorable mention that are not Gundam related: L-gaim - solid articulation, excellent design Original Aug/ Aug - same as above

Nice choice selection video!

[@Malachi_Marx]

build quality? sure the Beam master is rough, but those colors are great!! I'll just glue it together for my collection.

[@whztever]

would love to see one of these videos for every grade of gunpla :)

[@HydrYT]

I have every best kit in your list😁 I think just because I watched your video before I buy gunpla. So I always get the best kits. Thank you !

[@lorenz_wan_]

Is there any other HGUC kits that are as detailed as the RG just like the Moon Gundam?

[@lynncai891]

Try out HG origin line. It is more detail than average HGs

[@ignisofficialgaming]

Honestly I feel like the cheese master should have been based on the GM/GM parts. That kit was solid and would have been the best base to work from

[@공대갈-i4j]

But then it won't be looking "heavy" enough. Nemo or gm ii would have been good

[@ignisofficialgaming]

@@공대갈-i4j they could have just added bulkier parts on new runners to and some chonk to the kit

[@공대갈-i4j]

@@ignisofficialgaming But then it won't be as stable as it was... and bandai would have to recreate 80% of the parts, which it *REALLY* hates.

[@Heavy_Metal_Gunpla]

I'm actually kinda stunned. Was not expecting the #1's on either side.

[@Ct-ym2fq]

Damn should have bought that moon gundam when I had the chance. There’s been one sitting in my local hobby lobby for the longest time and with 40% off 🤦man I rly missed out.
