HG 1/72 MAILeS Jogan Review - Hobby Clubhouse | AMAIM Warrior at the Border Kyoukai Senki Gunpla

[@EpicHotCheese]

I felt in love with this series after watching your Kenbu review. I’ve built the Kenbu, Boomrang, Jogan and two ASC trucks so far lol. Just picked up the Amaim Ghost today!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Glad I spread the love! I really love the kits in the line a lot and it's so exciting to see Bandai do things seriously outside of Gundam lines. Kinda sad most English reviewers don't seem that interested in them though

[@theredrock5783]

The more Frequent Hobby appreances is very much appreciated

[@HobbyClubhouse]

He won't even let me not include him in this video. It'll be mandatory before long

[@TheMadjake50935]

Always love seeing you pop up in my sub box, Hobby. Great review as always!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Thank you as always! Great to see you in the comments:)

Honestly the "over the top" -ness of the sniper rifle is not very far fetched at all. Take a look at the M50 Ontos, a tiny Vietnam War vehicle with SIX cannons that looks so ridiculous, but it still did pretty well in combat. IN FACT, the clip shown in the review just shows that the rifle really is just as "grounded" as the rest: at 16:25 you can see that the upper barrel is smooth bore, while the bottom is rifled. Rifled barrels generally offer more accuracy, but not all rounds are compatible with it, and vice versa for the smooth bore. Plus, the Jogun is shown carrying two different types of ammo: APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stablized Discarding Sabot, used in the smooth bore barrel as indicated by the "SBG" above the ammo type) and APHE (Armor Piercing High Explosive, which is used in the rifled barrel, as indicated by the "RG" above the ammo type), both of which are real types of ammunition used in tanks. Also, just like RK11787 said, the target type can really change what ammo you should use: the APFSDS is reserved for extremely armored units while the APHE can destroy lightly armored units more effectively. That ammo HUD is not purely gibberish and it seems at least some thought was put into the practical design of the rifle. I've been quite a fan of your reviews, so straight to the point and detailed. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the rifle. Gotta say, I'm more interested in these kits than I thought I would be, just a shame that those reused hands are going to plague most of the line....

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Of course I don't mind the sharing of different views, it's great actually. I had to go look up the M50 Ontos though, didn't know that was a thing... How does that thing not get jerked around like crazy from the recoil of all those guns firing...

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Be gentle when I put up the Armored Special Carrier, I have a bone to pick with it😂

[@gunplawideo659]

Cool review of the Jougan Cant wait for the MaILes Reiki to review

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Man, I haven't been able to fit the Reiki into my budget even now ._.

[@r8420hp]

Crazy to see how they fix more issues with every new kit in the line. You'd think they were all designed and engineered at the same time. Now to hope the 4th kit finally fixes the hands. Shame the anime is really dissapointing so far.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I'm really curious what the extra trigger hand included with the Stork Carrier will be like. The Ghost might have better hands since it's the first non-MAILeS kit that has hands, strange as that is... Man, the animation is such a weird animal. The characters are simple characatures and the plot is wasting a lot of the interesting setting. There's that creepy nationalism thing that's still there too...

[@diciannove1100]

You made a Wolfwood reference! I love you!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

*High five* I was wondering if Trigun might be getting too old of a reference for 2021

[@muffintosay5125]

good vid good kit. and looking forward to the truck

[@elipse371]

Imagine if Bandai made RG AMAIMS after all of these That’d be an interesting build

[@HobbyClubhouse]

It'd be good if they made other Full Mechanics kits too, though I'm not holding my breath there

[@austinreed7343]

@@HobbyClubhouse I feel like the reason the Full Mechanics was made is because an MG would be in 1/35 scale, as seen with the MG Dunbine.

[@quangcao7231]

IMO the head looks like a head snake with 2 fangs, and Jogan like to hide itself for ambushing too. It looks perfectly suit design! And yes the design is slowly stray away from realistic, I'm sure you will mention it again when reviewing Ghost!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Oh yeah, I've heard people mention the head is like a snake too, forgot about that. The Ghost will have to wait a bit though since I've spent all my review budget for the month 😂

[@razrafz]

i was thinking it looked like a rat tbh, the two horns on top isnt helping making it look like rat ears

[@TK4541]

I did find that the in universe designers knew that changing ammo makes more sense than regular people think. IRL Tanks have a wide variety of ammo types to deal with different threats. Imagine using fragmentation shot against an armored target when you should be using HESH (high explosive squash head) or APCR (armor piercing composite rigid) shots

[@Fettley]

Right on the money! Amaims in this universe are akin to that of military tanks to a degree. With a Large caliber twin barrel sniper rifle, there is strategical benefits to having two seperate magazines. Relative to the Jogan's sniper rifle, all other Amaims tend to have smaller arms, so most would be outfitted with HEAT or HE equivalent rounds as an all-arounder, considering most of them are built for frontline assault, so they would need something that's as universal as possible! Perhaps they would have one or two magazines specially dedicated for tougher foes. Having a dedicated barrel for a specific ammo type (especially for a supporting sniping unit) would be beneficial in that the Jogan doesn't need to keep switching mags when engaging different targets with varying armor thicknesses (or lack thereof) If anything, firing two barrels with a High Explosive rounds or two Armor Piercing rounds amplify the damage caused. Either way, it's a win-win!

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Yeah, that part I get. Still gonna poke fun of it for a bit for carrying two guns onto the battlefield for that... Or maybe that doesn't really apply to robots, now that I think about it, since they can handle the extra weight...

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Didn't really think the gun would lead to so much detailed discussion. This is all quite interesting

[@Patrick-ep4vc]

Not sure if you were referring to this, but at 16:25 you can actually see the Jogun using two different ammo types (APFSDS and APHE). Another interesting point is that the two barrels are actually different: the upper is riffled (and you can see APHE is used there as indicated by the "RG" above the ammo type) whereas the bottom is smooth bore (which has APFSDS, indicated by the "SBG" above the ammo type). Honestly the anime is a bit ... interesting but it is really cool to see these random bits if detail.

[@beefueater4586]

That blue is a lot more subdued that I expected.

[@itsgab5745]

Got any plans to review the other kits in the line like the truck and little transport planes? Also, you going to check out the Ghost when it drops? I'm just really curious how that thing is going to play out and hear your thoughts about it.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

The truck's review is coming later today or tomorrow actually when I get it edited. The Ghost is in stores but I ran out of money for now... Gotta wait a bit, but I auore hope to cover all the kits in the line if I can

[@Bobert2020]

They head gimmick was probably a concept to have an opening cockpit like the full metal panic kits but i don't think it opened like that.

[@Equalsundew]

Cockpit is in the back

[@ranamores4919]

Thought this is the one I want. But meh. Its Byakuchi after all. Subbed btw.

[@hasefharris357]

Wait why there isn't no comments yet

[@samuel-kf7go]

Does amaims head joint compatible with ibo line gundam?

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Hm, I can't test it since I put my AMAIM in storage, but I imagine not. The ball joint should be bigger on these kits - the heads are certainly bigger so the size difference wouldn't play well together

[@samuel-kf7go]

@@HobbyClubhouse thanks for replying

[@brenmm2925]

You really need to pull the face guard from the chest up and you should feel a snap which means the pegs are up in a higher position. It does feel uncomfortable to feel that snap. Easy to think you broke it but you really didnt

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I've tried it a few times since reading your comment though I still chickened out in the end. Good thing it doesn't do much that's important

[@Obi.Animzz]

0:21 what gundam is beside the jogan?

[@kidrobot.]

that's not a gundam

[@Adniwhack]

I guess its high time hobby gets his own review. He is really barging into the kit reviews now and then.....

[@evoltblackhole8677]

So..i gonna wait for ghost..

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I want the Ghost too. The kit is in stores here already but i ran my budget dry for reviews for now .__.

[@evoltblackhole8677]

I like the ghost than the other for some reason..he look like t-rex 🦖 and i love it
