[@Bigbear0288yt]

All those early RGs like the Zeta and Sinanju that did nothing but break our hearts, might finally get the treatment they deserve

[@UltimateGattai]

The Zeta needs the update badly, I regret buying that thing, but now that I have the MG ver Ka, I wouldn't be interested in the RG 2.0.

[@dylanpiteo]

I recently did my first rg it was a sinanju it was also my first full painted one too I broke its right arm so many times I just gave up and drilled some holes added some wires and just called it battle damage I hate that tiny frame

[@MrGrandure]

Broken hearts and will to build

[@calvinwarthur1770]

YESSSSSSSS REMODEL WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@calvinwarthur1770]

Will there be double z gundam RG and there other RG gundam from other franchise😇😇😇

[@twelfthknight]

Making the Armored Core kits into 30MMs is such a genius idea. Partly because it builds upon the customizability aspect of the game, but more importantly there are a lot of AC and From Software fans out there who will want these kits but have no experience building models. It's a golden opportunity to get new people into the hobby, especially those disinterested in or overwhelmed by Gundam or Gundam kits.

[@alfianfahmi5430]

The thing is, regular 30MM kits have different aesthetics from the ACs in Armored Core 6. Not to mention that the joints on the arms and legs look kinda different, so the cross-compatibility would be challenging to pull off 🤔🤔🤔

[@user-vy4nb8bf7j]

​@@alfianfahmi5430i think there's a hidden spot that still using the 30mm joint's

[@alfianfahmi5430]

@@user-vy4nb8bf7j I can see that some joints will be using c-clips and balljoints eventhough it's not quite noticeable from the current images, so hopefully those will be somewhat compatible with the 30MM kits 🤔🤔🤔

[@user-vy4nb8bf7j]

@@alfianfahmi5430 i wonder if gunpla custom weapon kit will actually stick to its joints like in the gundam build divers series

[@Default653]

That's exactly how I got into gunpla. I'm a huge Elden Ring fan so when AC6 came out even though I wasn't really into mecha I still had my eye on it. Then a switch flipped in my head telling me that I actually loved giant robots. Wanted some to display in my room and realized that gunpla was the cheapest option. (Kind of)

[@megacat4529]

The best part about the Armored Core kits is that you can customize them without any overburdening or shortfalls. Simply put, go crazy.

[@haxor7372]

The idea of a lightweight biped wielding double KRSVs (or Karasawas) is so tempting lmfao

[@grimm3698]

@@haxor7372😩 don’t tempt me mannnnnn lmao

[@cabnbeeschurgr6440]

Maybe if your mech is overburdened it'll fall over whenever you try to pose it lol

[@ThePaulz80]

Finally AC make it to Bandai, it's kinda lame looking at Kotobukiya range.

[@haxor7372]

@@ThePaulz80 I hope we can wrestle the ACs from Kotobukiya, White Glint and Nineball-Seraph are too good for them

[@Arassar]

Dude, I am SO FREAKING HYPED FOR THE REAL GRADE GRANDPA.

[@TitanFusing]

Agreed yes

[@Madara8989]

Hype for RG 2.0 line cannot be matched - hopefully it does well enough that we get a proper Sinanju or Wing Zero ver Ka that are on par with the later releases

[@syemondemon5364]

SAAAAME

[@grimm3698]

@@Madara8989bro a sinanju 2.0 and a Zeta is all I need. Maybe even an Astray? (Unicorn doesn’t need one but lord knows Bandai will probably give it one anyways.)

[@nicholaskelley9392]

The RG Grandpa 2.0 gives me hope for a RG Zeta 2.0.

[@Ztrata]

Hadn’t even considered that yet, something based on the Zeta verKa but to scale with my 1/144 kits

[@rikisalim6438]

Don't forget other RG like destiny, zeta, sinaju and justice.

[@kamenriderovant9676]

I hope we can get RG RX-78-4 through 7 along with Alex/Tristan too. I am willing to take parts upgrade sets too

[@jotarokujo3782]

just imagine rg unicorn with a full inner frame, transformation and a led unit for the cherry on top

[@AndreaSacchi1978]

oh yes, bring it on, I would love a new Zeta RG

[@TheMrSwampert]

I wonder if the RG is getting a mini pilot figure, they gotta bring those back

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

sadly no pilot figurines on newer rg kits

[@allendalenapo3430]

​@@ChrisTian-sd5yq That sucks that they stopped doing that(newest RG that I have is the Nu). Maybe they realized that you need to have a frickin strand of hair to even handpaint those.

[@LeeONardo]

@@allendalenapo3430 I never cared about painting them, what mattered to me was you had an easy extra to put next to the suit to show it's scale. I have a building as well but the pilot works brilliantly for any 1/144 kit. When you have a kit on the shelf on it's own it can just look like a toy, you need something to show it's real height.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

Note that the original RG RX-78-2 did also have a transforming core fighter too. The main difference however is that the 2.0 Core Fighter will enable forward torso bends in a way no RX-78-2 kit has done before, not even the PGU. On the hard-to-pronounce weapon, they're spelled "Gleipnir", which was what the signature grappling claw of the Blitz Gundam was called. It should be noted that in terms of the actual physical design, the HGCE Duel Gundam we're getting in the kit is essentially a Duel Gundam Revive ver., and the only thing that makes it the "Duel Blitz" is the external add-on armor, so we can probably expect Bandai to release the original Gundam SEED Duel Gundam Assault Shroud as an HGCE using this exact same Duel Gundam in the future. The same with the Lightning Buster too, as it's essentially a HGCE Buster Gundam Revive ver. with different weapons and slightly modified shoulders.

[@onepromaster69yt82]

Didn’t the duel blitz have assault shroud parts too?

[@benten6539]

​@@onepromaster69yt82 different shroud skirt and torso armor. The legs and the duel gundam seems unchanged.

[@megacat4529]

The Blitz weapons gives hope a revive Blitz might show up soon.

[@aculdra41554]

The lack of MGs in recent years has really disappointed me. I dread seeing new announcements cause I know I won't see any new ones.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

Yeah.. HGs are cool, but a little basic. RGs are great, but the range is small (I get easily bored with all those primary coloured hero gundams). MGs are my favourite, and there's still plenty of Mobile Suits that need representation in the line. Like Geara Zulu and Kshatriya!

[@aculdra41554]

@@drewlovelyhell4892 Well I'm happy people wanting a 2.0 of the RG RX78 are getting it but they have kits over 20 years old that could use the same treatment. With just Stardust Memory and 8th Mobile suit team alone they have at least a dozen different kits they could make 2.0s of, and they would sell. People have been wanting them for years.

[@theflawedkid]

@@drewlovelyhell4892 For real, RGs would have easily been my top favorite grade but with only having 39 regular releases (the others are P-Bandai) and majority of it are hero/main Gundams with blue/yellow/red color scheme, it doesn't quench my thirst for variety.

[@draketheduelist]

They went through all that work to make that awesome IBO frame, only to never use it again? No MG Bael? It's not like I'm asking for an MG Hashmal here... not at this specific moment, anyway. Obviously that comes later.

[@minimoYT]

@@theflawedkid The RG line is my favourite in theory, but seeing so many primary colour gundams does get old. That's why I got the RG Sinanju, which is... another can of worms lol

[@flipsees]

I just recently got into this hobby and you don’t know how happy it makes me feel to see a company remake their early things with what they have learned since starting the line. Real grade 2.0s are going to be insane

[@Saicofake]

I’ve always loved the RGs for their size and details. A really fun BUT expensive hobby.

[@vustvaleo8068]

also the person who worked on Gundam Requiem For Vengeance also worked on the unofficial Warhammer 40K animations which you can find on KZbin.

[@kurisu7885]

I was considering getting an RG RX-78-2 to go with my RG Zaku and Zeong., looks like I'll be waiting for this new boy.

[@meikisaragi1445]

I'm sold with the RX78-2 RG 2.0. I love Amuro kits. Definitely getting that one. I actually like the Gundam EX. I think it's nice that they change it quite a bit. The Zaku too btw. Edit: 28:30 whoa it's Ple Two! That's Marida. Btw. Kind of. I'm not into figures but man, I kinda want this one.

[@ifw_us8510]

Knowing that Bandai is making AC6 30MM kits gets me excited for the future of this line. I love Steel Haze and Nighfall, and I'm definitely buying them when they come out, but I'm hoping ACs like Open Faith and Deep Down get added to the line in the future. Overall, I see this as an absolute win

[@autoscorer]

But first... MAD STOMP

[@gohunt001-5]

They _have_ to make the HAL 826 or whatsitcalled as well, that one looks awesome and i would love to see it in model kit form And of course, the Alba frame too (Steel Haze Ortus)

[@BenBenBenBenBenBenBenBenBenB3n]

I want a full course model kit reeeaaally bad, along with the obvious ortus, open faith, liger tail,...

[@cabnbeeschurgr6440]

Steel haze ortus should be easy, it looks just like a legally distinct gundam lol

[@raptorshiranui984]

I've never done a custom but the assault shroud of the blitz duel would be useful to create the basis of a blitz striker for the eg strike.

[@daisukeniwa402645]

Gundam requiem for vengeance is not a movie. It a 6 or more episode series

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

26:58 thats the Bolinoak Sahmahn (ball-uh-noh-ck sah-mah-nn) or Bologna Sandwich, which was a VERY left field announcement, but happy to see them in plastic, I learned of their existence through the game Gundam Battle Operation 2 and they look fresh as hell

[@sentinel1354]

*Patiently waiting for PCA Heavy Combat Helicopter model*

[@vandarkholme4745]

You sir are the real hero

[@lucaseichler3140]

Those AC6 kits are great, except for one thing... 3 of the 4 stores I found preorders on are close to double the recommended price, and the one that isn't is hlj (which charges extortionate shipping+import to Ontario)

[@allengomez026]

Man. I'm so freaking hyped for the 30mm AC VI Fires of Rubicon kits! I'll be preordering those ones first. Thrn I'll wait for reviews for the RG 2.0 before buying it though. Also will be waiting for reviews for Those Requiem Gundam kits. Their designs are weird and i like them.

[@the_madinventor]

wallets shaking, hands sweating, backlogs crying ~

[@relicturtle7373]

26:06 i really like the zaku but i think i would modify the front of the skirt to look more like the og or maybe goof style

[@Feroce]

Hyped the most about those Armored Core kits, but also hopeful to see remastered real grades. I'm interested in getting a RG Strike 2.0

[@rockblockstudio]

A diorama idea popped in my head after hearing the announcements. Hopefully the Psycho Gundam MK-II isn't too expensive

[@jonbonda1917]

Inspired by that SD Strike Freedom, you could probably use PLA sheets to create a DIY custom the MGSD Zer02 Mighty Freedom Striker Pack. I should really finish building that MGSD Freedom.

[@whiteraven1992]

Never had a kit of the Duel Gundam [Assault Shroud] before. I'm finally interested in getting it.

[@kaillentackett6172]

The backpack with the heavy weapons two give me space leo vibes from gundam wing

[@edstarmd]

I pre-ordered the RX-78 ver 2. I do not have ver 1. But pics of the ver 1 has the core fighter. I haven't seen the core fighter in the plane mode for this ver 2. Will the core block transform into the fighter?

[@christiantingel5963]

I really look forward in rating your revies on scale of ten or whichever you prefer.

[@captain0080]

Bolinoak Sammahn was one of my favorite mobile suits in Gundam vs Zeta, nice to see it finally getting an HG.

[@gamerkingdom1442]

Seeing these 30MM ARMORED CORE 6 kits melted my mind! I LOVED THAT GAME TOO MUCH!!! And these kits look so good!

[@gundam0077]

The Rg grandaddy is number one for me but I am also looking forward to the 30mm AC6 kits and those 30MF Knight kits are also pretty interesting

[@bluspeed7]

Got my pre-orders in and I can't wait!

[@EnishLord]

Looking forward to the AC6 kits. I wonder if they'll release option parts, or other 'cannon' ACs from the game. Particularly for quad legs or tank legs.

[@OvAeons]

Ooo that was my biggest question, if the eyes were proper separated or not! The stickers were the biggest bummer in any build

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Every time I see a sticker I know it's bandai admitting that they could do better!

[@kyousakee]

First time hearing the word "monocoque" I guess something similar with the full mechanics stuff where the forearms and thighs don't have full inner frames but have sturdy armor parts connecting them together

[@arrancarman]

I like the “big toes” on the Netflix kits. I bet those are something akin to tank treads for ease of ground traversal

[@PolylabStudio]

"BODY WITH SOFT PART"

[@lllXanderlll]

Can't wait to see them make a 2.0 of the Sinanju and Destiny, it almost feels like this has been willed into being with how often myself and others have been wishing for a 2.0 of the premolded frame RGs.

[@jormungand72]

グレイプニール　（grape neil）is Gleipnir; the chains which hold Fenrir.

Great video! Ty I can’t wait for the releases!

[@jeremyfusenliu3859]

Am new to this whole building stuff and I have few questions: 1: Do you also cover Moderoids most specificaly the Divine Knights from Trails of Cold Steel game because while their kits look nice they lack the finishing. Also this is what got me into building these kits. 2: Does the Armored core build like the Gundams or are they ready made?

[@Zagura90]

Not seeing the MKII on your link.

[@BiGJefe167]

Barbs lupus comes with mini hasmal if I remember correctly

[@XaadeTheBlade]

Purple bonus armor on the black knight looks so close to FF4's (FF2 in the US) dark knight.

[@Barbariandisks]

I think the RfV model adds a battletech styling take on the Gundam and Zaku 2

[@elijahjarman2837]

It's a good think I just bought the 1st RG rx-78-2 kit I'll use his hands for this new version

[@skvltdmedia]

Requiem granpa is SUCH an overdue image overhaul over the classic cardboard-boxy one with aerodynamics of a brick.

30MM is getting more and more appealing with all the customization possibilities. I need to start getting into it, but I still have tones of unbuilt Gundam to build. The new knight/fantasy kits will go great with the 30 Sisters.

[@Cherudimgundam]

Wow, bandai really cooking by these days, i kinda excited for RG gundam 2.0, it looks so good, new HG buster and duel gundam looks fire even we finally had a revive version but in different timeline so that's ok, hg spycho gundam MK II it's really interesting.. And so more!

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

11:29 - Despite being essentially a named grunt pilot at first, Lunamaria Hawke is very popular. She's apparently down to pilot the Type II Impulse Gundam, while Shinn Asuka (who is apparently her boyfriend!? O.o) is down to pilot the Type II Destiny Gundam.

Untuk apa membuat RG ver 2 rx 78 ? Masih banyak lini lainnya yang belum dibuat, contohnya lini Age atau G self.

[@eduardoavinte7698]

I've just started into the hobby this year, so this is probably a newbie question, but, what about MGs and PGs (and maybe more RGs)? Is it always like that, being only HGs release in the year?

[@Fire-bj5vc]

I’m so hyped for the AC 6 line. Please make quadrupedal and tank leg soon!

[@super8ben]

Sounds like I’ll be getting my first RG!

[@blvk3]

they still dont give us the mace and the spear for the new rx-78 though

That new Barbatos Lupus variant is definitely one sick Gundam worth checking out!

[@PhoenixFyre]

Gundam ex and psycho gundam mk II and lunamaria. Maybe the dual and buster variants.

[@housequay]

I don't know why but I've never wanted to buy a Zaku model more than this one. I've always searched around a little for maybe Char's Zaku, or a decent Zaku II, but never committed to buying one and sprucing it up with detail and paint, but this one? The panel lines are immaculate, the silhouette is gigachad, I want this big boi

[@RusuRex]

This is gonna be one epic year for Gunpla

[@MrNavidad]

That Barbatos feels like a Code Geas Knightmare frame

[@kasperzhang6349]

yay finally some more color seperation

[@raibyo]

It looks like the 2.0 is based on PG Unleashed. Wish we could get that in MG too. And damn, Lunamaria rocking that dump truck. They definitely know what they're doing with this one.

Can't wait for the RG Grandad 2.0, Duel and Buster!

[@LemmaEOF]

The 30MM AC6 kits look super cool! I really hope Bandai isn't just abandoning gundam witch though, I really like its kit designs and now that they're putting even grunt units like gundnodes on p-bandai it feels like there's not much hope for other grades going forward...

Hopefully this means many RG 2.0 to come The fantasy 30 minutes mission has plenty potential if they play it right These are the two most type for me
