BEST GUNDAM GUNPLA OF 2018 - MECHA GAIKOTSU

[@dracoblob5233]

You should do a worst list

[@MechaGaikotsu]

I will! I had a top 3 worst kits added to the end of the video, but I cut it because I didn’t have time. Will extend it into a top 5 for next week. A top 10 wouldn’t be fair because there wasn’t 10 bad kits this year 😁

[@vangazon]

I remember those days when I was young when I always ask my mom to bring me to Toy Kingdom whenever we go to mall so I can stare those glorious Gundams. I never asked her to buy me one because I knew she couldn't afford it.. I told myself I'll buy one when the time is right. I've been working for years now and totally forgot my dream to get one since I became so addicted to console games. After seeing this video, I immediately searched for it and ordered two sets for me to start. I'm looking forward to get my RG unicorn full armor and Sazabi. Looks like this will add to my expensive hobby. Anyway, I decided to have a collection of this than collecting bunch of xbox and ps4 controllers..

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Awesome choices! You won’t be disappointed! Also I know your strife, RE2 and KH3 in the one week is a stinger!

[@ZF_Aspiris]

Mmmm the Toy Kingdom dream, sameeeee

[@titan133760]

THE GUNDAM IS HERE!!!!

[@Kitsune10060]

The RG Sazabi is a BEAST, and I fully agree with it being #1. easily my favorite RG kit (partly due to it being my favorite MS) or just kit in general. It's literally a shrunk down MG with every thing that statement implys Also, if your reading this and thinking about getting one. don't put it on a 1/144 scale stand. Despite it being a 1/144 scale kit, it's absolutely massive and pretty much needs a 1/100 scale stand.

[@adwyn]

Such an awesome video and list. I just want to voice my support for your channel. I think your commentary and reviews are absolutely the best among others on KZbin. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to an awesome content from u in 2019. Absolutely awesome!

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Thanks man, it means a lot 😁

[@Gilgamesh_King_Of_Uruk]

Sad to see the RG Tallgeese didn't make the list

[@ClydeFake]

This. Tallgeese is my all-time favourite MS, so I may be biased. Nice list nonetheless.

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

Maybe because it's reserved for Tallgeese II?

[@YBPaladin]

Yuse Leonheart It’s okay, Tallgeese 2.0 will make 2019 list

[@iandakid672]

i know right, like it's actually the best for me this year.

[@Gilgamesh_King_Of_Uruk]

I got mine as soon as it came out and still holds my place as the best RG after Sazabi for me.

[@nickrapp7482]

guard frame the first highgrade literally started the list with a hg

[@RANT-dom-vie]

this is the comment I am looking for

[@ToxicAtom]

I wouldn't be surprised if he originally intended the RG Tallgeese to be in place of the A-Packs, but got changed late into the video's production

[@MrWhowatchesme]

He probably meant that the HGUCs with Stein and Narrative. I would consider anything out of HGUC sub HGs.

[@MasterArtz198]

I only watched this video only hoping for the beam boomerang in action. 😪😅

[@chaikagaz]

Just preordered myself the moon gundam looks neat

[@cruntbungle4338]

RG Sazabi is the greatest thing to ever grace my hands.

[@Moliminous]

so... you're not going to talk about why there's just an anime girl in all the Gundams?

[@orpheuskun9507]

Its figure rise nami, she's from gundam build divers, and is a model kit you have to build

I mean you're technically right

[@YBPaladin]

It’s okay RG Tallgeese, you’re numba 1 in my heart

[@ignisofficialgaming]

2018 was actually the year I discovered the hobby. I’d known about Gundam for ages since I was balls deep in the anime community but had never touched the series. First kit was the RG Build Strike and as solid as it is, the Booster sucked balls and broke within a year. Seeing these kits that were new back then is so nostalgic to me

[@dwarftastic1151]

i just got back from gundam and gunpla. the last series i saw was seed back when it released, and you sir made me want to get back on the gundam boat. one of the best gunpla reviewers on youtube! cheers from new jersey!

[@tfriggink314]

Your channel has kept me on the path of furthering my gunpla hobby over the past year. Thanks so much, MG.

[@TheLonelyBuildr]

My favorite builds were the mg quanta full saber, and the hg leo. I LOVED the leo so much, it was a very fun, easy build, and it allowed me to start making weathered and battle damage kits

[@LZRCuteR]

I've built a TON of Gundam models, going back to 1998. The RG Sazabi and RG Nu Gundam are the BEST kits I have ever built. I dont always enjoy the build process, but for those kits I almost miss the it. These kits are a work of art. I also HIGHLY recommend buying the RG Sazabi fin funnel effect parts (eBay) and the Bandai RG Nu Gundam Fin Funnel Expansion kit (the extra funnels plus extra base/sticks for posing funnels). With those two add-ons, having Nu vs Sazabi flying with funnels deployed, its a dream come true (since my first MG, the MG Sazabi in ~2002 I've rigged up cheap wire dioramas to make the same effect). The extra kits are very inexpensive - I got the Sazabi funnel effect parts for 14 USD on eBay. If you are bold enough, I also HIGHLY recommend spray painting or air brushing the Nu Gundam Fin Funnel inside pieces (the ones that are on the inside of the funnel when folded). I painted mine silver going to gold on the outside, really makes the funnels stand out compared to the plain dark blue (used panel and masking tape to oultline just the inner section of the funnel lengths for spray painting - the section with the cross stitching paneling). Spending a tad extra time on such details make the Nu Gundam and Sazabi standout as easily the best value centerpiece models available in the Bandai catalog - buy them both and thank me later.

[@jieqiiii]

The best mechagaikotsu vid of 2018! Every year I look forward to this!

[@ckr1911]

I bought the Rg Sazabi right after I saw your review. I was so worried about the shoulders breaking anf I think it was the step I was the most nervous about during the build. But in the end, it is literally the best kit I own: love every aspect of it and the solidness of the finished model is so satisfying. I was thinking of purchasing the Moon Gundam next...

[@zaidabdurrosyid]

And where's my rg nu gundam, Bandai???

[@zeamays6207]

It's coming this year, perfect for the 40th anniversary of the franchise

[@reidge4479]

U should ask PG Nu we wait for it too long not that shitty 00 but yeah i will collect both since it's my love

[@knightx605]

Agreed, where is our rg Nu? MOST LIKELY THIS SUMMER!

[@ArkCiD_Z3r0]

Honestly the only downside to the RG Sazabi is that we don't have an RG Nu Gundam to pose it with.

[@PORCELAINGRL]

I want n rg acguy

[@roderickvillanueva3907]

This is why I love your reviews bro, you have the most honest review

[@broshaqhobbies]

These kits are over the top. Thanks Mecha Gaikotsu for inspiring me into gunpla all these years

[@red_haired_ken]

doubt I'm the first to think this but at 14:52 always gives me chills when the CCA theme starts cause that trumpet is so awesome just like the kits

[@tekkadan097]

Rg Sazabi is defenantly the best kit of 2018

[@baelreviewsshit5382]

I started gunpla in 2018. And the first kit I got was one you put in your top ten list for 2017 or 2016, whichever it was. The HG GM/GM. And now I have the HG Gm Sniper II, HG Gundam MK II, HG Vidar, HG G-Self, HG 00 Diver, and the RG Exia, which I love to death.

[@robospark7258]

RG Sazabi is literally the best kit i've ever built, it's everything you've said. Smooth articulation, extremely well hidden nubs, Beam Shot Rifle is amazing, beautiful Beam effects, stunning color seperation, and the Funnels are just mini versions of the Ver. Ka's!

[@sparkybleu]

11:29 That's why I got the PG Red Frame Kai, my first PG. But, holy smokes. Never thought PG boxes would be so big.

My first PG was strike freedom also gettin a banshee norn

[@henriquenunes4072]

The visual of high resolution astray red frame is incredible as you said "a samurai mecha" but the weapons and transformation of the rg full armor unicorn is awesome especially for the price

[@TheKrowSama]

It really was an overlooked kit last year.

Guess what? It just got announced...

[@vulpineru]

I have recently done both the stein and moon gundam. Both of which were really fun builds. I even added my own touches to the moon gundam

[@dtejada1988]

Awesome video, I am a newbie at gunpla, I’m well into my 40’s, and learn a lot about gunpla watching KZbin videos like yours, I’ve enjoyed your content for a while now , thanks btw. I’ve fall in love with building kits, I’ve done : 1st a SD, 2nd a RG and last one was the HG Sinanju Stein NT ver, Im so happy to see it on your list of top 2018!!! The gunpla community its very lucky to have a guy like you posting videos. It is messed up that you can’t monetize on these great videos you posted. Anyways, back to your picks, in my humble opinion, but it its my taste: 10, 9 and 2 pick, 🤔now number 1 looks great, unicorn Im gonna get one, red frame wow, Enough of my yap! See ya next video, and once again thanks!!

[@dnlowithstripes]

Not gonna lie, when I saw the BD girl on the thumbnail I was genuinely scared for your sanity. Glad things turned out allright.

[@Niche_YT]

dnlowithstripes are you serious? He put the fucking deep striker on the list. If u wanna see why it’s shit watch Citrus’s video

[@armangunpla409]

That badass RG sazabi was my favorite. From the moment it announced it's arrival i already pre ordered it... and my, when I got my hands on the kit ooohhhh hohohoooo glorious just glorious.

[@gustavoh.70]

I love that all the GBN Guards in the anime just stand there menacingly

[@rogueassasin6946]

When you do this it makes me want to build my rg sazabi sooner on what i plan !

[@kittenshanker]

RG Sazabi was my 5th build this year. 100 percent th most enjoyable build I've ever done. I had only done one RG kit before it, which was the RG sinanju (which I was very disappointed with).

[@mrwind96]

RG Sazabi is the god tier of the Gunpla this year for me... It was just perfect in every aspect. I did not enjoy building gunpla for while... until this masterpiece come

[@dukesnipes64]

I would love to see some classic reviews once a month or something of older kits. Maybe even obscure kits like the hg Nobel Gundam, or the hg Gundam g-self atmospheric pack. But overall this is one of my favorite channels on KZbin

[@pantalone7307]

I had wing zero sitting about for years and I got bored out my mind and decided to put it together and now I would really like to get into it

[@MasonsTurtle]

Why couldn't you monetize your channel? This is all original content.

[@PaladinodoCerradooficial]

Maybe The name GUNDAM and GUNPLA made the youtube bot cut the monetize =(

[@judeskater93]

MasonsTurtle because bandai and KZbin, especially KZbin, are utter assholes about it.

[@jbrosupra]

They cant deny monetizing over reviews. Thats just silly to say

[@alessandrocastelluccio8657]

We also have to say that people buy model kits thanks to reviews like this, so it's a cycle of money that comes back to Bandai

[@belugawhale6539]

Alessandro Castelluccio they could also negatively affect sales.

[@JaceTheDragon]

Really nice. I knew it was going to be a toss up between Moon Gundam and Sazabi but I suppose in the end, the Moon Gundam is still "just" a High Grade. I've had to cut down on my Gunpla purchases substantially but all off the top 4 (excluding the Unicorn which I already have) are definitely high on the list of things I that might push me back into buying kits. Thanks for a great year of reviews, amidst all the worry and strife your life has had to endure! We love you for what you do--I hope you love doing it!

[@cheetor71]

Good list. My favorite builds have been RG Sazabi at #1 followed by the RG Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina. I bought both because of your reviews. Thank you.

[@namkha209]

Deep Striker recieving award: I-I'm so touched by this position on the list. I want to thank my dad- Metal Gear REX: YOU GO, SPORT!

[@leadbones]

Stein Narrative up there with Origins Zaku II as my all time personal favorites. Such a solid, great looking, fun kit to build.

[@dasmoools606]

Seriously.. once you get into this stuff theres no going back. My first kit was the 1/100 Full Mechanics Gundam Bael, love it. Sits ontop of my EGPU enclosure, making sure to cut off any pesky fingers daring to touch my rig = = now? now I have an assortment of HG's and MG's. Looking into doing my first RG soon though.

[@KashewKiddo3826]

You said more positive things with the tallgeese than the a-packs and deep striker so i kinda find that weird that it isnt in the list but great video nonetheless. Your review of the moon gundam made me buy it and i dont regret it at all so thnx man.

[@jonbarian6190]

The number one is cheap as heck, but I bet is super hard to build. These kits are all amazing

[@stephencrawley2862]

Are you referring to the Sazabi? Its very expensive as far as Real Grades go (almost double the price of most) but worth it in both size and quality. I haven't built mine yet, but Mecha Gaikotsu said it was surprisingly easy and fast to build compared to other Real Grades, so that's another reason why its fantastic.

[@bluelabel222]

did not expect the Sazabi to be number 1 coz it's my favorite Gundam and im super bias

[@joeolivo8847]

Don't want Mikazuki's son to have a life anything like his. Calamity war, and perhaps seeing Barbatos' original pilot, could be awesome. Or, knowing Bandai, they'll make a new Gundam for the lead.
