[@tylerstocker6189]

Personally, I think they should do fixed posed trigger finger hands to hold weapons while having the articulated ones for expressive poses.

[@kakarot197]

Having both, like they did with the MG Strike Noir and many Real Grades, is indeed the way to go.

[@DarkROSkull013]

Wouldn't that have been a good idea. I hope they implement that in future kits.

[@demomanchaos]

Surely they know how awful the articulated hands are at holding things, so I can't imagine why they don't have fixed posed as an option with everything.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

@@demomanchaos money..... for dem Managers and bean counters feel it's not worth the cost of adding fixed holding pose hands on Gunpla kits outside maybe Most expensive kits and even then it's a big IF

[@Jontini]

Really enjoy the format. The only channels who do similar gunpla history videos are in japanese, and they also show stock photos of the kit instead of built models.

[@srntnjl523]

While not HGUC itself, the GM Sniper K9 is indeed a great GM Sniper II kit, especially since you can build the GM Sniper II out of it and even customize its arsenal... not to mention its more militaristic color scheme, which IMO really fits well in it.

[@choochoodino5200]

I like this. It’s always fun to take a look at the history of something as simple as a model kit. If it helps, you could always ask for photos of model kits you don’t have.

Everyday we get closer to a GM development history.

[@Gbo2_player]

Funny how there's a gm development history now (Well not a development history but a history of all the GM's used in the one year war)

[@zakhaevshub4735]

Talking about GM Sniper II I really want Bandai to make HGUC GM Spartan, especially the Black Dog squad from Code Fairy

[@monoeyemulisha7203]

There's a resin conversion for the MG kit, but its for the Standard Spartan.

[@thewannabeweeb]

What a damn good pilot to the series, I can't wait to watch more and this was also really informative, I never knew the White Dingo shields were just dressed up Ground GM/Gundam shields

[@odsts6658]

I would 100-percent love to see more videos like this just got into Gundam model kits so learning the history about this stuff is really interesting

[@Kurnaxs]

I recently picked up the MG GM Sniper II bout 6 months ago. It's EASILY my favorite grunt suit. It's a fairly cheap and easy build, solid as a rock to boot.

[@JesseSlater]

The GM Sniper II was the second MG I built (after the GP03, which definitely gave me an old and new comparison to be truly appreciative of), and it was such a joy. One of my favorite builds.

[@Gatherway]

Honestly, if there are more histories you want to do, I don't think it'd be a big issue if you were to use stock images in lieu of kits you don't own personally. Just being able to see the progression of certain suits in gunpla form is already quite interesting in itself, so if there's something you want to cover, you should try it that way.

[@juanbustamante1646]

I’d love to see a history of the regular gm kits (HG, Master Grade) and the evolution to from the MG 1.0 to the 2.0. Love this video idea, please make more!

[@wannabkain4400]

I would love more “history of kits” videos. Summit I didn’t know I wanted.

[@TheDeathNoteNear]

Man, the GM Sniper II is getting some YT love and I'm here for it! And this is a cool series to watch.

[@_GeneralMechanics_]

One of the most desired machines of the Federation became one of the greatest Master Grade models of all time.

[@michaelsudsysutherland5353]

I looked for a playlist for this already... Half way through before I got to the part where you mentioned this was a pilot episode... Obviously, I love this documentary style history of the kits!

[@k0_18]

Man I have to say that you're one of the reason that I got back in the hobby after more than 10 years of not looking at anything gundam related

[@kekoa_ok]

this is it. this is the best gunpla history format and i love it that you combined it with your history knowledge

[@stryderprime]

The reason it has a dull clear part for the scope is before you don't want the sunlight to reflect it back to the target and giving away your position. Also I made the MG GM Sniper 2 White Dingo last with with digital camo so check it out when you have the time.

[@superroboted]

Wow, I have many of these kits...love this video. GM Sniper II has a rich history

[@D.Snom.]

I’m definitely loving this kind of development history. Please do more

[@deathwatcha6197]

Love gm sniper 2! Thank you for starting on it !

[@meteorhawk06]

This is awesome. Keep up the great job

[@Blockio1999]

That's a really cool format, quite looking forward to more of it!

[@sunrisespartan1765]

really liked the format I hope you do more in the future

[@douggoins2960]

Glad you're doing these man. It's good to learn about this and other gundam and gunpla related content

[@JesseSlater]

I love this video format! Definitely looking forward to more gunpla history and evolution!

[@ONIMOT100]

Commenting for more of this sort of content! Love videos going into the release history of model kits!

[@signalhunter2290]

Oh my, a new series of Gundam History? You spoil us too much. All honesty, I like how you formatted this like it was actually a Unit Development History, I expect some fun things from future Gunpla History.

[@Darth_Anomalous]

Love the new series. I'm looking forward to more.

[@AportesExporadicos]

I was waiting for something like this, keep the series.

[@billyperez4748]

Great timing with the vid. Found myself looking at the white dingo squad just yesterday👍

[@zqfmgb4335]

I really like the format ! It's interesting to see how Gunpla evolves over time, and I share your thoughts on the 0080 GMs. Personally, as someone who likes to play with my kits a lot, the HG isn't entirely satisfying due to its limited joints and weak hands (my trigger finger hands are falling apart now after a few years of switching weapons), but it's a nice model to look at. I really hope Bandai does more GM Revives in the future so we can see all those beautiful variants with the detail and articulation they deserve.

[@lukabazookastj9462]

Awesome video I didn’t know Bandai held off from making a sniper II gunpla for so long. Good that the master grade is fantastic.

[@raxkiyamatocarlos2102]

love this video. The K9 GM Sniper 2 from Build Fighters is such a good kit!

[@KiwiOuiOui22]

I know this is late, but I love this format and this is just the kind of video I'm looking for. Hope to and can't wait see more!

[@gerardp819]

keep it up man more history for us to know

[@deejayuste]

Hope you make all of the GM history. Keep it up

[@reillydonaldson1799]

Keep up the good work, more of this series please. 🖖

[@evangelionsimba]

I was a huge fan of the dreamcast game! I still play it from time to time just to see if I can beat my times with different weapons

Trust me everything you do that is gundam related info i enjoy as a long time fan..keep it up you are doing a great job ..remember it was you that hook me back to gunpla

[@joshuamendoza5321]

GM Sniper 2 was my first Master grade and one of my favorite mobile suits. Love the video!

[@crimsonvz]

I like this idea. I’m willing to watch and learn more on Gunpla.

Great content as always! I think a lot of us of your viewers would love to see a development history of the Grandaddy od all, RX-78-2

[@gstrikr7]

This is a neat new series! Would like to see more!

[@xaayer]

What the hell, I just got the GM Sniper II today in the mail after ordering last week and finished building only to find you released this video today as well.

[@emperorhadrian6011]

This series is quite exciting.

[@krabsg91]

After watching this, I immediately jumped on Amazon and bought a GM Sniper K9. Thanks for showing it.

[@xmen123ist]

Coincidental time to release this, I've been eyeing the HGUC for a while now lol

[@junrosamura645]

Liked the format, keep it up! Would love a GM Command Ground/Space history next! Also, no mention of the of the Robot Spirits GM sniper II?

[@DarkROSkull013]

I have the HG GM Sniper 2, which I think is a really awesome kit. Hoping for the Hazel and that brown one, and that they won't be PBandai. Also picked up the MG GM Sniper 2 Clear Colors on New Year's Day. Keep doing these vids Kakarot. They are awesome and informative.

[@user-bz1rv4tr5p]

Need more of these gunpla history videos....maybe some more gunpla reviews too? Been a couple months since the last one

[@SamGray]

Loving the turntable, too.

[@gundampharmacist7348]

I really dig this content, and I would really wanna grab that Titans Sniper II.

[@jaegerbomb269]

I liked 0080, but one major nitpick, I hated out easily the Federation mobile suits were beaten. I wish they're allowed to put up more of a fight and maybe win for once. Just saying.

[@tyaty]

Because it is OYW. Mass produced Ferdation sits typically job against the antagonist which the main Gundam will fight against.

[@HikoriSora]

They're just filler put there so the Alex looked even better lol

[@Nu_Chowe]

I love these. Please do more

[@Nu_Chowe]

Even if you dont have the kits. Who cares.

[@LukeOConnorable]

I really enjoyed this, though I might be biased since GM Sniper II is also my favourite grunt suit

[@SteamTitan]

Really giving thought to the High Grade of the Lydo Wolf one

[@khandimahn9687]

Back in the day I really liked 0080 - not just for the story, but also for how they updated the designs of original mobile suits (especially for Zeon).

[@Youtubefan-dk1gm]

I like this new segment.

[@stevogrey3505]

I would like to see more of this series if possible.

[@bee-beargaming]

I really enjoyed the video

[@daitoray9876]

We can kinda tell that the GM sniper II K9 is probably your most favorite GM sniper kit. You even have it as your cover picture for the videos.

[@sarahdanvers1076]

Favorite MS ever! As someone who has to tried to collect all of the different ones, I still need that White Dingo version

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

I hope you'll do videos on the Jegan and the Nu Gundam at some point. Considering those came out when Bandai stopped using glue, they should be easier to acquire and make videos on than kits based on stuff from MSG - ZZ. Ooh! Maybe even the RGZ-91! That thing has only had a handful of kits based on it in any size, so that one should be relatively simple to make a video on.

[@sph9564]

I think it’s be cool to show the history of some kits whose 1.0 has been overshadowed by time. Especially the MG Sazabi, Hi Nu, and Nu 1.0s. The original kits I’ve heard are spectacular yet barely anyone talks about them in the newer more professional review format

[@josuegonzolez2050]

Perfect chefs kiss

[@Kenny_F91]

Do whatever kits you can. The more videos you put out, the better.

[@jamogable]

the GM Sniper II was the epitome of "Wait for it".. still looking out to buy my own White Dingo Version..

[@demomanchaos]

I like the gun on the Titans variant, but the Spec Ops one look pretty awesome too. I'd much rather those two variants be updated with better articulation rather than a straight remold though.

[@coleviloria3800]

I really hope we get the spec ops version in 1/144. Please make more in these series! I love the format!

[@ForzaNinetails]

I did enjoy this. Thank you very much! Do a Zaku 2 one... ...except it'll be 2 hours long!

[@WindBreaker-hn5fz]

Yeah that Titans version is looking sexy with that gun.

[@astaroth_sasazaki_yt]

The only thing that I dislike about this is that it ends love your work fellow GM Sniper II fan :)

[@deathscthye02]

Comically when I built my GM Sniper II I decided I was going to paint in a Deathscythe style paint scheme and wound up with what is essentially the Wolfe version with some relatively minor differences.

[@riskyprapanca6919]

GM sniper II shadow with their pretty cool L9 beam rifle, i need it!!

[@petrusdimitrilarantukan7678]

Damn there is now gunpla history This channel grow fast than my puberty

[@JunkyardGod]

My favorites are the GMs. Got MG Sniper II, Lydo Wolf, the White Dingo one, Sniper Custom and the Fatal Ash one.

[@CanonicalBomb]

The MG nonposeable hands for the GM Sniper II were the same ones on the MG Age Kits, and future MG GM kits as well as the Rggz and RG GZ Custom so if you want to arm your GM sniper II with an AK or a DODS Rifle, you can

[@anwenlokier2292]

In my school vr game the gym sniper 2 had a version called the gym sniper 2 royalty carrier type ( it's a fancy word of being a escort unit ) and the unit it self made its appearance in 2 missions both iron blooded orphans and these were MCgalise fareed and there place it first appearance was when it pretend to be a graze and had a dainsleft but it his actual sniper and shot goalius biohelm off and in there place it was there trying to support shydens and the gundams but got spotted by goalius and the pilot well let's just say that he needs a new pair of pants when goalius saw the pilot and it got comfirm with a talk bit in white base he said oh goes um boss gym sniper 2 pilot had a um pretty bad accident

[@gerrykomalaysia2]

good vid

[@percyknight3700]

Devil survivors reference. Nice~

[@hikarihikari4501]

Now we even got SPARTAN GM! What a great time

[@florence9606]

I've only just gotten into Gunpla so this is really cool to see. I'd like to see a tier list of the best GM and GM II kits, I'm a big fan of the grunt mobile suits but the HG 1/144 ground gundam kinda disappointed me with its torso construction (the thing just pops out of its socket if you breath on it wrong). Can't wait for the next one!

[@MrEnKaye]

Honestly I just brushed some glue on the polycap and let it dry, then put the torso back together. It's not a super articulate joint anyway and it stops the torso from falling apart so easily.

[@golasticus]

Considering this isn't really a Gunpla review video, I honestly don't mind if you made videos about mobile suit lines you don't have completed. Honestly, it's the lore behind the kits that make videos like this very interesting imo. But regardless of how you want to do this series moving forward, I'm definitely looking forward to future videos.

[@Crowdily]

I love GM Snoper II and Gunpla!

[@rezracer6986]

The GM Sniper K9 was actually one of my first gunpla, I need to find another copy of the kit since I lost it in a couple moves

[@PaladinodoCerradooficial]

You made my day! I need ORIGIN about this GM Sniper.

[@lostonessoul5154]

I won't lie to you here. The sniper 2 was my introduction to gundam. As the son of a soldier I remember taking pictures of my robotdamashi sniper 2, usually in a place that it would see as a snipers nest. Since I made my first model I made a promise to myself I'd build the best HG variant of the sniper 2. In this case the K-9. I like your idea of mixing both idea's together so that's what I'll do. All in a spec ops color scheme.

[@fishpop]

I'd like to see more Gunplas History videos. Granted that doing MS like the RX-78-2 and Zaku 2 would probably result in 60 minute videos. :P

[@drvinylscratch1936]
