HG 1/144 Bolinoak Sammahn Review | MOBILE SUIT ZETA GUNDAM

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam mecha designs remain unmatched when it comes to 80s over the top mecha, and it's great to see another classic join the HG Zeta lineup.

I love the bolognese solomon

[@albertko1]

the bolognese salmon is definitely something us old timers can appreciate but unfortunately it tends to get a bit soggy if you leave it out a while

[@Moriko73]

[@adriflux7704]

I sure love the Baloney Salad man (real) [I’ve never watched Zeta].

[@Colin_Nelson]

Zeta's 40th anniversary is next year so hopefully we'll see more zeta kits (I just want a full blown Rick Dias revive)

[@exesarcofagus2329]

I would love to see an HG Methus or Hizack update and a RG Zeta Gundam 2.0

[@shauqiharris2772]

RG Zeta Gundam 2.0 would be nice.

[@SamRK-1000]

I’m not sure if RG Zeta 2.0 would be possible, but that’s still yet to be seen. I mean we do have the RG GaoGaiGar which has some acceptable “transformation” (not really transforming in the traditional sense, just moving around a little and docking or un-docking), so maybe it is possible. I just feel like it may be overkill since we already have the Ver Ka, but if the RG 2.0 has some cool realistic design features and textures in the armor, as well as a regular release hyper mega beam launcher and some fun other parts like the moving gun, and the obvious beam sabers, arm missiles, etc. it does have potential to be a great kit. But I still have my doubts, even though Bandai has moved away from the ERG style frame to actual frame, I feel it might be a little too tiny to have all the transformed parts stored in the suit and not have to be a parts former.

[@stujm84]

A Rick Dias as an RG or a MG 2.0 would be amazing.

[@ORLY911]

A partial revive exists but it was a p bandai exclusive, same old kit but with new joints. Im personally hoping for something to go with the ver ka Zeta, either the Methuss or the Gabthley.

[@arpkahn670]

This is probably my most anticipated kit at the moment (this or the MG Vidar). It feels so good to see an actual, proper HGUC kit again. Also might just be me, but after dealing with plastic on plastic kits loosening up super badly, I can't wait to build something with polycaps again.

[@paztah2194]

i thought plastic on plastic is better against loosening than polycap?

[@Quote_ation]

@@paztah2194depends on the engineering and the type of plastic. WfM kits are great, but the Entry Grades are known to loosen up over time

[@xnflg3074]

This is the right take

[@Fire-bj5vc]

@@paztah2194 plastic on plastic is good, if it is not C Clip joint. Some HG,entry grade, 30mm kits use them.

[@arpkahn670]

@@paztah2194 In my experience plastic on plastic is better at holding a pose over time (which is nice if you want to pose it up once and just put it on display) but loosens up way faster when I actually pose or fiddle with the kit. For example my EG RX-78 and EG Strike are both bordering on being floppy messes, but my HG RX-78 Revive and Origin Version kits both feel pretty similar to how they did when I first put them together, despite both being kits I've handled a lot more often. Also with polycaps there's a world of difference between the way they were used on new(er) kits vs really old HGs (like mid 2000s or earlier). A lot of way older kits effectively had a few specific polycaps bearing all of the kit's weight without much support (which means the weight is gonna eventually warp or loosen the polycap). Also from my experience, plastic on plastic seems to be more prone to loose joints out of box. They both definitely have their ups and downs, but plastic on plastic definitely isn't always better across the board.

[@macfurry3214]

Finally, my PMX series is completed with this one.

Paptimus series, he designed some pretty cool MS

Balling Salmon, let's go. Weird looking MS, but I like it.

[@cathylmilk247]

I know I'm in the minority in saying this but we're long overdue for a Hi-Zack Revive 😭 Like sure we got the P-Bandai Hobby and custom but I just want a regular modernized Hi-Zack 😭

[@bluebirdsigma]

I'd rather not, they'd just make a remold of the Hobby/Custom with the different AOZ proportions, which feel just wrong amongst Zeta designs.

That'll be awesome tho

[@BennettOrion]

@@curiouszaku9537 i mean yeah but i thought of prob making a custom zeta gundam with the zeus silhouette id have to customize the zetas wing binders but id have trouble with the torso and legs due to their unique design

You are killing it my friend! Keep up the awesome work

[@mikloridden8276]

19:52 Ayo?! 😳 It’s got waves

[@twelfthknight]

I quite like the radome on the head. Odd to say, I guess, but outside of surveillance type MS where they're expected they don't really think to incorporate radomes into just general designs. It gives the Bolinoak such a unique-looking head on what is already a generally unique design.

[@vurthronnon6253]

honestly the head with a clear part makes me feel like someone is gonna make a custom of this for Halloween where the non clear part head is painted to resemble a brain up top

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Amazing review, the 80s mecha design truly shines! 🤖👍

[@heinrichbernabe]

I TOTALLY AGREE! Big fan of the Z/ZZ MS designs! I mean, every Gundam/MS design on every timeline has their quirks, but nothing beats the mechanical designs from the Z/ZZ eras.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

This Bear Mech makes sense. The O for killing cap ships, Palace Athena for medium range anti-MS duty and the Sammain for melee combat.

[@stephenrossi1918]

Along with The-O and the Palace Athene, these suits aesthetics are retro awesomeness.

[@dizzeedandan4744]

I got both them suits too wanna get 1 also. I love the pmx line

[@Sazabi4prez]

The blue FAZZ was in barely 1 episode and it still got plenty of kits

Hg/rg are becoming my fav kits

[@aerynmusick4548]

Whooooa that's a great design. I haven't wanted a kit this bad in a long time.

[@venomouslizards]

I hope you build the rest of the PMX mobile suits. I was lucky enough to have bought the MG The-O back in 2018 when it was only $140. I’ve not seen it get restocked since.

[@justincholos.balisang6884]

Need this guy for my Zeta collection! The green with yellow stickers reminds me of the Palace Athene, also a kit I really like enjoy.

[@Draig-zb2tx]

I'd be interested in seeing a review of the Hg Gabthley. An older Zeta kit that is beyond what was done at the time. The comparison would be interesting.

[@JohnnyBurnes]

2024 kit? What a year for Gunpla! (Save for MGs) Next year already looks wild with the GQuacks. 楽しみです！

Definitely getting this one 👍👍👍👍

For a HG, the build up is quite impressive...

Hated waiting for this kit but if it had come out back in the Stone Age of hg it would have been probably sticker hell, horrible articulation, and seam lines everywhere. So glad it's now honestly. Plus I feel most obscure mobile suits like this would never get a revive. Fingers crossed zaku iii or palace Athene revive some day, doubtful but you never know.

[@itoms06s81]

I fucking hate late titan designs but at least it gives me hope for more Zeta HG

[@kingkodiak1591]

I have mixed feelings about this design, but I'm more curious if the arms and legs are compatible with the HG Barzam for some funky proportioned kitbashes. I'm also caught off by the scale... I know the PMX series are chunky suits but I forgot how big the BS is still.

[@dullahan4461]

Now how close can i colour match it with a zaku/hizack head

[@edisonfabian5540]

hello can you please make a vlog about what HG gunpla kits that are compatible with 30 minute sisters? because some of the hg kits are compatible with 30ms and some are not im definitely addicted to 30ms and i want to combine this to hg gunpla kits thank you ☺️

[@emperorhadrian6011]

The Nobel Gundam is compatible.

[@gerardsotes2461]

This is the last MS for zeta gundam series? They actually made all into kits

[@LongTran-yv2nq]

It looks great, very elegant for a "big brute" type of design, the head design is a bit viking-looking IMO, overall it's a BUY from me

[@Alfanumericablate]

HGUC? What is this bizarre acronym? Surely you misspelled P-Bandai, the sole source of HG Universal Century kits. (This is a joke about how Bandai has seemingly given up on non-P-Bandai kits)

Pretty cool. Now they need to flush accuracy down the toilet and do a repaint in Commander type *RED*... specifically Char's signature pink & burgundyish red, and Cima's scorching fire red (like her Gelgoog Marine and the Gerbera Tetra). Aaaaaand just for lolz, they should do one in Black Trinary black & silver, along with Anavel Gato's green & blue (like his Zaku in Gundam 0083).
