No joke, this is legit a great Christmas gift for us. My Christmas has been shitty, and this review, and the music video has lifted my spirits quite a bit. Thanks Jobby. Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays. (Also happy to see you get back into Gundam, and review a Gundam kit again, even if it's only for one last time.)

[@androyus]

Gundam Ghost did not disappoint! But considering Jobby's feelings for building Gunpla, we might not see GG's full appearance again until next year's Xmas 👀

[@bahamut_the_warrior]

Honestly that would be great way to keep Grubby Gundam Fans like me watching, if he promises to build at least one Gundam a year but only at Christmastime.

[@Dhernaolt]

He shouldn’t even tell you when he builds it, just builds one a year at a random date.

[@iberis361]

6 years of Gundam silence, and it is worth the wait! Thank you for this Christmas present Jobby xD

[@Evangel-aclr]

I know sometimes the hobby can get annoying but when you get done with the frustration and raginducing parts fubling, breaking, and just straight up not wanting to fit into the spot. You get the finished product and you feel satisfied and proud of your accomplishment that's why i keep building and putting them together. Because to me it's always worth it in the end

[@Great_Getter]

The Moderoid Mazinkaiser Liger disproves that thought. Pegs that won't peg post that won't post, hell I had to bite down on some parts just to get them to fit. It was a bad time. It was even missing a piece.

[@Evangel-aclr]

@@Great_Getter not all kits are good heck in my opinion all the 00 high-grade suck but 9 out of 10 of the kits I build are pretty good

[@K_Bogz]

Hell, the RG RX-78-2 nearly made me quit, and it was the 3rd kit I'd ever done after my first 2 HG kits. I will never forget the pain I suffered putting the arms together, only to have them nearly disassemble themselves every time I move them (I had not yet learned of early RG syndrome). But when I finished it, I always looked upon my accomplishment with but a single thought: "Thought you could make me quit didn't you, huh? I won.". I still enjoyed the learning process, and I now have about 13 kits and a PG RX-178 under my belt. Bandai will have my money once that RX-78-2 2.0 releases and I'm gonna put it right next to the old one to remind it of it's failure to stop me from burning more of my money on model kits.

[@rodriark]

The 3.0 is showing it’s age a little tbh. I think the Rx78 the origin is a much better MG kit in pretty much every way. Also I’d love to see you tackle the PG unleashed RX78

[@eugeniahawkins4747]

The MG origin really surprised me when I was building it. Not only does it come with more accessories and the option of two different variations, but the even went out of their way to design it with different spots for the stickers so you didn't have to sacrifice the clear surface. An excellent kit all around.

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

3.0 is a 1/100 real grade

[@uc79newtype]

It was a great kit but it also didnt age well on my shelf which is why im beginning to take more time building and reinforcing joints. This thing now is a nightmare to move

[@NeedingNewName]

Thank you for this early Christmas gift Mr. jobby

[@ventris425productions5]

But, it has been Christmas for thirteen hours, OH, American times

[@camafterdark276]

dude i love your videos so much. the perfect blend of “why are you like this” and “please never change”

[@josecortes-reyes3404]

I loved building this one, I even went as far as putting LED lights inside of it you always make the reviews for the toys so much more enjoyable to own and purchase, thanks Jobby and happy Holidays ❤❤❤

[@SonicXeno]

4:59 Honestly even if you don’t have time to paint, using a gold Gundam Marker to color the parts where the gold stickers would go is a genuinely good alternative. It’s cheap and must faster compared to just painting the parts normally but that’s me speaking personally, Gundam Markers are just really good lol

[@Bioburningk]

It's good to see a gundam review again and I'm fine with it not being painted IM JUST HAPPY WE GOT A GUNDAM REVIEW IN GENERAL either be it robot spirits or a unpainted model kit anything gundam related makes me happy

[@amberknight4495]

Finally, the long waited review ^^ Could this be a sign of things to come..? Edit: As someone who had build 3.0 myself, Jobby is indeed correct on its down sides. Putting all the details, panel lining etc does takes weeks to finish. (Or if you a madman who had nothing else to do, a single week.) While future gundams/gunplas reviews seems unlikely, the diss track is awesome and I'm glad to see the gundam ghost's return ^^ Have a good break Jobby and Merry Christmas c:

[@amberknight4495]

@Nokion B I think its neat. Tho, I did accidentally step on it and broke one of its wing. Rip my core fighter T^T

[@androyus]

@@amberknight4495 You just turned your Core Fighter into Ryu's unit 😏 (if you know that reference).

[@jegt3382]

If it's just panel lining the kit, you can do that in one sitting. Granted you use a pour type panel liner or accent color.

[@saladv3028]

The rx78 origin version is much better anyways

[@TheMattTrakker]

@@amberknight4495 It is neat, but it's also unnecessarily complicated, imo. I love this kit, hated the core fighter build.

[@LeKingCarnage]

For the gold stickers I just usually use metallic Sharpies and the results usually look just as good if not better.

[@wilsonng994]

I feel the same way about this kit too. I got this kit as a Christmas present from my uncle and it was frustrating building this nightmare and it wasn't a stable kit.

[@SleepyHotCocoa]

SCHEISSE, that was FIRE. Absolutely loved it. Gundam Ghost, I never thought I'd be happy to see you around. And I liked the review as well. I think the honesty sticks with me the most because of your history with kits to begin with. I like the lense you looked at the RX through. Wish your return to Gundam was a bit more forgiving, but I'm not gonna complain about seeing it again, after so long. See you (most likely) in 2023, chief. And have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A nice kit! Even though the ver. 2.0 is my personal favorite because I love how more sturdy it is compared to the 3.0 despite being older released in 2008. I do heavily suggest you take a fourth chance on Gundam and take a gander at that kit! But if you don’t want to, that’s ok. Happy Holidays!

If you ever get the itch again I recommend the MG Barbatos.

[@reannoire4330]

Due to its complicated design, it makes a building experience a little bit difficult. The polycaps are the bane of the model kits, hence the looseness of the parts stability. Fortunately the majority of modern Master Grades out there are polycapless, thus more stability for those kits. Otherwise, it's been a while to see these gunpla review in your channel. Kudos to you, Jobby!

[@leinbachjon]

Why have I just now found your channel 😂 I wish all gunpla reviewers had this level of entertainment.

[@grease734]

I like this running gag of Jobby never doing a tutorial on how to paint the MG Blitz Gundam's eyes.

[@lucarioknightb7685]

Honestly, I think High-grades are the way to go for casual builders. Comfortable, simple, quick builds with decent possibility that you CAN still go in on to class up if you want to. It's the way to be imo.

[@darksol2519]

Tbh Yeah, this kit drove me a bit insane. I still haven't finished it. Although I'm picking back up on model building with some Amaim kits. Real weird case where more detail doesn't always equate to more fun build.

That diss track is straight 90's style rap fire! The neon colors are bleeding through so hard now.

[@Th3Treasoner]

I dunno if anyone has mentioned it, and I (sort of don't but hey) hate to be "that guy", but the RX-78-3 was the test for the magnetic coating for the Unit 2. There were seven Gundams produced for Operation V, which also produced the Guncannon and the Guntank. When Side 7 was attacked by Char, Unit 1 was very badly damaged and Unit 3 was slightly damaged, so the White Base took 3 as spare parts for Unit 2. Unit 3 (and consequently RX-78-3) is a completely separate unit from Unit 2, and data from it was used to create the RX-78NT-1, or the Gundam Alex. Units 4 and 5 were put on the Thoroughbred (and you can read about them in "Space, to the End of a Flash" or play them in Encounters in Space). Unit 6 was referred to as the Mudrock, and you can face it in the game Zeonic Front. Unit 7 was featured in Battlefield Record 0081. These units are also notable for omitting the Core Fighter system. Edit: Almost forgot, this kit is basically just the RG upscaled, which worked a LOT better at that scale, and is a lot more forgivable when you consider it was literally the first RG.

[@ianzitos777]

Honestly as much as we joke about the review more Gundam, it is very nice to see it come back. Just nice to see a Gundam on the Jobby Set after so long (not including those third party Samurai ones). I dunno what it is, just the vall backs to old times, seeing people reminisce about how they discovered this channel through Gundam, and stayed for thr Jobby, or just seeing how nice the MG 3.0 looks on Camera. It just a really nice way to cap off the year of stellar Jobby Reviews as well as just a nice gathering of Joblins celebrsting the time here. As cheesy as it sounds does just give you that wholesome feeling of old friends gathering roundnthe fireplace. And what a fireplace it is cause that Songnat the end was (And I don't mean this as an exaggeration at all) absolutely FIRE. Like seriously did not expect it to go that HARD. All the Gundam reference lines, b a r s, War in the Pocket, Red Comet, and Principality caught me off guard with how kuch they slapped

[@sinanfaruq3776]

to be fair: the 2.0 was much better. idk why bandai was smoking crack thinking the needed to remaster an already perfect kit. It ended up with a worse version of it's predecessor. Take that as you will Jobby; simpler build, more solid and more fun without loosing the scale or complexity. No need for paint (though... admiditly... I do like to add the decals...) The only advice I would give is a simple matte coat to protect the metal decals from chipping and peeling.
