Gundam Review: MG Shenlong Gundam EW pt01

[@feddy66]

Vegeta. Been watchin' for a while now man. You're a serious champion at this stuff. Easily one of the best on youtube and I refer everybody who is into gunpla to you for info n' stuff. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@JohneAwesome]

@SideShowShayne1 it really depends on the grade, but most high grades cost from 15-20 dollars

[@JulioGarou]

Great idea with the paint. This way not only it does conserve better your paintjob, but give us a better idea of what do we get.

[@maxtergundam]

@vegeta8259 nataku is the name of his dead wife or fiance. it was shown in one of the GW comic

[@RampageYT]

@BentheBassPhish Me too. I remember Shenlong have a unique arm which can unfold and extended further to give it more range. But then again this is the EW version.

[@StrawHatLaw13]

Really cool. I actually prefer the fixed fingers more. I'm glad they brought it back.

[@CrappystuffVideos]

@vegeta8259 He was calling Shenlong as "Nataku" as well.

[@BentheBassPhish]

Part of me wishes that the dragon fang could extend a bit more. But with the size of it, you'd have all kinds of weight issues which don't bear thinking about so I can live with the limited extend. And Bandai are a technologically competent company; I'm sure they could have worked out a swivelling mechanism/ mount for the dragon fang... But other than that it looks like a great kit. Nice review, as always, Vegeta. I look forward to part 2!

[@Gweapon01]

it probably has a longer reach but if you remember all the other models with the longer reach dont work/ hold up well

[@xCelestialSwordsman]

@SideShowShayne1 The average Master Grade which is what this kit is, varies from $35 - $50 USD.

[@HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

@suiton629 I think in the US it's the Beam Naginata and in Japan it's the Beam Glaive/Trident, I'm not positive but it's my guess. I think Beam Glaive sounds better anyways. :)

[@Pablo944T]

Hey Vegeta, nice review as always!!! my only other complaint with this kit is that the dragon arm doesn't really stretch out that far but put that aside its a cool kit. does any one know when bandai will release heavyarms mg ? that will be really cool

[@xaayer]

I think the mount for the dragon fang should have been double sided like the astreae's proto sword

[@forge5435]

Been waiting for this

[@LibeliumDragonfly]

@xCelestialSwordsman with the current exchange rate, I'd say it'll probably be on the higher end of the price tag

[@blacksolar212]

in your opinion vegeta, which MG style hands are better, the fixed pose ones or the articulated hands in standard MGs?

[@mmf1396]

what grade of sanding paper do u use , becasuse i really like the way that looks

[@dragz1224]

i think the dragon fang should be able to extend a bit more tho

[@IAmStefanD]

Nice, as usual a good and informative review.

[@MSGSlayer1]

2:53-Shenlong's got a turkey neck!

[@statszero1]

would it be nice if the dragon fangs would extend? what do you think? or you guys prefer the one bandai just provided? :) just wanna know your opinions.

[@switch0123]

did you sand the gundam ?what grit? i can see flat effects on the plastics

[@ampeater777]

doesnt the shenlong only have like a beam spear thing instead of the trident?

[@raikutsu918]

@vegeta8259 a minor inconvenience is a bit more suitable to call it

[@wewyllenium]

Well stated and produced review.

[@EdgelessTitan]

I just got my hobbyknife and cut off the small "tabs" that were blocking it from sliding on. They serve no purpose anyway.

[@CrownofRa]

@TommyTheToyReviewer I agree i ended up breaking both of these parts trying to get them on both parts snapped in exactly the same place and even with this new gap in the part it still wouldn't slide on :|

[@dimmock14]

Can you by an Aries model kit. If so where??

[@purdskies]

The right arm doesn't extend?

[@wyattarthur5275]

purdskies Thats what made me sad

[@Mecha82]

Althought I prefer tv series version of Shenlong just like with all other Gundam Wing gundams I must admit that this is not too far from that. You can defenetly see that its Shenlong.

[@joshuadickenson8266]

Does it come with a stand?

[@AgusLeoSutejaAlmark]

so it doesn't comes with any moving fingers.?

[@MargaretsLight]

it doesnt have the reach of the nataku in terms of the dragon fang :(

[@will2696]

why is this called Shenlong EW if Shenlong wasn't in EW?

[@kingcobar34]

its seem like the endless wiltz versons of the first season moble suits seems to be the same design on some of them.but to me i'm more of a fan of old than ew mostly in design, tho i don't know the reason why can't they just do master grades of old high grade models from wing?

[@4ceofwill]

I find that alot of the wing heads look the same

[@FullDemiurge]

Is it really a MG? It seems so small

[@The-last-son]

Yeah I didn't like that either but at least it can hold itself up unlike the HG 1/100 scale from the 90"s

[@ggreviews2649]

Hwo tall, is the gundam ? Is it tall like an mg gundam like cm or ?

[@thomaskok5773]

wing series are 16 meter tall rather tinny compare to those other series which is 18 meter tall

[@MaskoftheWraith]

The Dragon Fang in this kit doesn't extend very far :/

[@HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

I think I like the original Shenlong Dragon Fang best...

[@leeuwengast]

it that the farthest his fang can go?

[@MythicalPhoebe]

you sure this is the master grade? looks a bit like a high grade. sized like one too.

[@dawreckor9111]

Steven Tarsitano He said he didn't paint it. (you have to paint it for mg I think)

[@magonsar]

hmmm i dont like the thing of the sets of hands... i preffer the articulated ones.

[@HereDirtyDuck]

so why does this fall under the category of film & animation?? lol

[@TheTeriyakiBeef]

i hate ball jointed sideskirts with a passion

[@hks071]

I really cant stand the split swallowing noise at every pause and beginning of sentences.

[@mmf1396]

what grade of sanding paper do u use? , becasuse i really like the way that looks
