People fail to talk about the mid torso hinge meant for transformation every time. If you use it as an ab crunch, take a photo of it in a perspective where you don't see the joint, it looks amazing.

[@zero195]

The AGE kits have surprisingly AGED pretty well. I have built the Titus and the FX and they have been great HG kits, despite their AGE. Hoping that they give the series some more love and re-release more of the other MG's since all I seem to be able to find is the the AGE-1 Normal and the AGE-2 Normal and Dark Hound.

[@evoltblackhole8677]

Rg age

[@noonethatspecial]

The Federation kits had amazing posability, but the Vagan suits had lackluster articulation despite their designs.

[@ToxicAtom]

I was hoping the RG Hi-Nu Mega Bazooka was today's review, but this is cool too. By far the coolest canon AGE design imo.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

Dark Hound

[@joephua9667]

Ok

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

13:56 Asshimar is the best HG gundam transformation ever No partsforming Not even for the hands Plus a full action base 2 that stores the alternate hand

[@hasefharris357]

Best engineering from bandai IMO

[@alexlam8430]

all those weird looking (love them btw) zeta suits from HGUC line are all so fun to build and well designed! My personal favorite is gabthley it's soooo ahead of it's time

[@bushido8077]

The flying donut!

[@cecihoney]

Never seen one in person, but I agree from all I could see, still want one.

[@djsoundwave5595]

*gabthley

[@srntnjl523]

This, the Double Bullet, and especially the Dark Hound are great Gundam AGE designs. They may be quite "old," but they still hold up really well. Among the AGE-2 kits, IMO the Dark Hound is the best among them.

[@markandrewposa]

i got the artemis. i'm so lucky to find such a rare kit.

[@gonk_ch]

@@markandrewposa i always wanted one

[@ignisofficialgaming]

The shoulder structure with the internal ring should have been kept for the Magnum. The stability in MS mode is much better with the AGE era kits with that assembly since it stops the shoulders from dropping down when you’re posing it Also, ‘requires partsformation’ isn’t 100% accurate since you can technically transform to strider mode without the extender, it’s just more cramped

[@terradrone3905]

Just got this guy a few weeks back to accompany my old AGE-1, was a really good build for it's time. Broke the tiny lil stopper in the wing segment so they have more movement in em. Not sure why they put it there though, hinders dynamic possibility options more than anything.

[@newsupercool79]

Gundam age is one of my favorite Gundam series especially because of Asemi Asuno. I also like the passing the torch aspect.

[@alfa1134]

Kinda forgot one step for parts-forming into Strider Mode: folding the hip skirt fin down after it had been folded forward. Thanks for showing me what I have to look forward for my future build before I customize it.

[@anime-mun]

I love ALL the AGE-2 builds. So much so that my prime kitbash merges the Victory Gundam with the AGE-2 Magnum. I call it the Gundam Malibu.

[@sXeAndriex]

I'm so glad the HG Age line is getting some love on this channel. They redefined HGs in my opinion.

[@eomersimbajon2938]

AGE- 2 Normal is cool but imo, the AGE-2 Magnum just BLOWS it out of the park. Especially the SV Version. The transformation looks even more complete with how the rifle on the Magnum ACTUALLY hides the head in wave ride mode

[@asuna07neros]

One of my favorite HG kits and definitely a solid one. Mine still holds up today

[@Sotau890]

I think HG astray has same type shoulder joint as AGE kits

[@xSkye629x]

The HG AGE kits are super solid in every sense of the word. All the ones I got are still doing extremely well all these years later (age-2, gbouncer, Zeydra, FX, Legilis)

[@kaigen999]

The HG Age line of kits are my favorite haha

[@supergeno128ds]

The AGE-2 Normal is definitely one of my favorite Gundam designs... especially once it gets repainted in its "Special Forces" colors. :)

[@GoldenWind43]

This is the kit that reignited my passion in gunpla again after not building any kit for 5 years.

[@cryingdemon]

Having just completed the HG Age 1 Normal the other day i wholeheartedly agree that the build is ridiculously solid, and the plastic used is something else entirely. Its ability to pose, and articulate are phenomenal in comparison to other kits of it's general price point. I have a new respect, and motivation to build more of the AGE kits. This one looks fantastic as well.

[@wheelbite9]

To say the MG's legs were a little wonky was an understatement!

[@shenzo00ff]

This guy is my childhood 😭 Iam back after 7 years

[@logicblock8783]

The added bulk of the Age II Magnum SV puts it above the base kit. That said, I really hate the look of the Magnum's wings, and would love a mashup of the SV with the original Age II's wings.

[@explody7836]

This is the kit that turned me around on all of the mecha designs in AGE. I picked it up because it happened to be on sale and I really wanted to build something. I had always hated the AGE designs, but I figured I may as well give it a try, and the build was just so fun, with such a solid end product that I ended up doing a complete 180. I've built almost every AGE HG that's currently available (saving my Dark Hound for a special occasion).

[@FOXZILLA5734]

Yeah I also didn't have that much Of a liking to the age kits but I bought a couple(dark hound and jackedge)and I really liked them it's a shame these kits sold poorly when they first came out

[@kenzietiu3569]

I love reviews of older kits hope there will be more of it especially MG kits!

[@vustvaleo8068]

love that the four main AGE Gundams are homages to the early U.C. Gundams: Age-1 = RX-78-2, Age-2 = Zeta, Age-3 = ZZ, Age-FX = Nu

[@LightningCount.AC176]

I literally just finished the Asemu arc yesterday and now this gets uploaded? Must be a sign lol

[@Eucep]

I like pretty much the entire line of AGE. The Age 3 Fortress being my favorite.

[@agenericsteve]

Worth noting, bokksu is awesome and well worth a try, but that competition is only available for those in the US.

[@Xolivas1]

I own this kit. And I honestly didn't think that I would love it as much as I initially thought. Solid as hell, color separation to the max, fun to pose, and add on the AGE waterslides...makes this the ultimate AGE kit. 👌

[@megagundamva2694]

It kinda is isn't it or at least up there as one of the best Easy. I mean you don't even need to attach the new crotch section really it still looks fine so a transformation without parts forming a welcome plus

[@rickstergaming1]

That's awesome! I recommend you get the PG Zeta Gundam

[@twinkytoe8479]

Glad this kit was rank gold tier, just finish building it and it was superb ! Thank you mecha for the review !

[@felaniiqhwan4769]

You can hate the story but you can't hate the kit 🤣

[@dontprayforme]

Ever since I picked up the HG Age 1 Normal, I immediately decided to get any HG age kit I could. I wish they would reprint or ship some more of the Age grunts over to the states. They’re either super hard to find/get ahold of or ridiculously expensive when you do find them. Hell, I wish I had grabbed another Age 1 back when they were available. The only kits I’ve managed to get are the three main suits, Age 1 through Age 3 Normal, and the Age 1 Full Glansa. The most HG Age you typically see now are just the HG Age 3 Normal. I’ve had it for a while.

[@cecihoney]

Got the SP version, one of my favourite HGs and the best transformable HG I ever handled :3

[@lukepenn5713]

Now all we need is a hg age 2 dark hound review

[@FOXZILLA5734]

Of all the age gundams, age 2 is my personal favorite because not only is it well designed, but it does just enough for it to standout from the zeta gundam and be it's own (as age 1 and age 3 invites comparisons to the RX 78-2 and ZZ)

[@erndaman8641]

The DODS Rifle was attached upside-down on the Strider Mode.

[@xxnike0629xx]

Though I don't typically buy HG kits, 1 exception is the HG AGE series. That's currently the only HG series that I collect and it's mainly due to how good they are. I only wish that we got an updated HG 00 series that was at least to this level of quality.

[@pmx-003the-o2]

@xxnike629xx But in the end you'll still refuse to build a kit again, right? What could be the reason? Same reason why you said somewhere else that you're intimidated to build the kits from your -backlog- *BOX* fort... I think the reason is perhaps, *COWARDICE* , right? 🤪

[@ZenStrive52]

One of HG tranformable kits that really don't need partforming to transform

[@KGH786]

One of my Fave transformable gundams, Age 1 normal is my #1 fav gundam but still this is the boss flyer/jet gundam an gets better with dark hound ver

[@fishpop]

That stand being able to store all the spare parts reminds me of the HGUC Messala's stand.

[@snukastyle]

This is such a nice kit. I was able to get the SP version through HLJ a few years ago, and it just looks so good!

[@megagundamva2694]

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS ALRIGHT I REMEMBER I ASKED YOU TO DO THIS SO LONG AGO and years later your doing it I hope you enjoy it this is perhaps my favorite of the protagonist gundams from AGE and 2nd favor of all gundam from AGE after Legilis (please review that too it's Beautifu and Unique like a gundam built by Aliens)

[@andre.-5926]

mecha's ad-delivery is so amazing and makes me want to subscribe to bokksu!

[@SonicTheFrenchHorn]

Boy, I can't be arsed to watch Gundam, but I sure like building them.

[@Kuonluw]

The AGE-2 DODS rifle is my favourite beam rifle of all design-wise. I don't know why.

[@lupinxiang154]

Surprisingly, the AGE-2 Double Bullet gives extra hands, and exchanges the already included base, with an improved version that holds four hands

[@horrorsofthenight8751]

I've been looking to buy this one so this review is pretty good

[@asadler43]

Age 2 is gota to be the best in model kit , design, arc and MC ost

[@5434644]

The AGE-2 flew so the Darkhound could soar

[@meffeli]

Love the AGE kits! Might be cool to see an RG AGE 1 or 2

[@RevereShin]

This video just reminded me... MASTER GRADE DOUBLE BULLET REVIEW WHEN???!! Channel memes aside, darn, I was so sure this kit would get that full 4-Star Platinum.

[@brave_blue]

Great review of a great kit! Still, I remember you giving both Magnum kits silver tier. Would you say that this one is superior to both of them?

I've got it for years. Still good till now. Maybe that's why kujo kyouya use this a his base gundam customization. It can compete with kyrios and wing gundam tv.

I'd make a new shield for the right side to raise its defense capabilities.

[@0Defensor0]

Legilis and Farsia, you need to get them!

[@AuraKnight-kn1ux]

Those wings look awesome but my only complaint about its flight mode is the head sticking out a snitch but a part from that overall I love it the blue also helps its appeal as well anyways I truly wish to go to Japan someday when a certain pandemic finally passes anyways nice build dude keep it up the good work I mean 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Kind Regards AuraKnight P.S 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 building those Gundams must be hungery work so take a cookie brake buddy 😉.

[@BoyPares1978]

I have the Age 2 Magnum, (same transformation process) and we can simply transform the kit without replacing the hip part

No review of 30mm backpack option part 2 nexttime? That haven't been reviewed yet only shown? Got deleted last time right when making the 30mm transformable type?

[@XaadeTheBlade]

It wouldn't be too hard to modify this so the knee pad moves with the middle joint. Just a saw and some glue, maybe a bit of plastic from a runner so the knee is at the right place.

Hi! Just wanted to ask but where did you get the clear stand that you used during reviews? The adjustable one? Thank you!

[@johnmichaelreyes4577]

It would be nice if you put it along withe the hgbd age 2 magnum side-by-side. And probably the articulation should be skipped since the age 2 magnum share the same design just a color swap.... btw I just noticed no parts randomly drop-off during the articulation.

[@TheOyeah55]

I have the MG never thought the HG can do that transformation with the chest and head, but sadly the MG is wonky with the legs when on transformation and the joint/poly caps for the shoulders really easy to break when overtime

[@raffaputracv9487]

I just want see age 3 orbital alternate transform like eclipse gundam

[@DamianReallyRocks]

I’ve never asked for a review before but can you do a review of this master grade?
