HG MAILeS Byakuchi - Kyoukai Senki UNBOXING and Review

[@thelocalbard5415]

I really appreciate a mech that doesn't immediately look like a gundam. Nothing wrong with gundams, I just like seeing a variety

[@vustvaleo8068]

the MAILeS linage is basically how to design a humanoid robot without using human anatomy as a reference as treat it like a vehicle like a car or something.

[@harogenkitnsg2474]

well Ken Okuyama did design these

[@dragons_hook]

Real/war robot style.

[@kalsonica7463]

Looks like an interesting and more overtly mechanical mecha kit which is nice to see. I’ll definitely be getting this or the main version of this but that’s dependant on what accessories the other comes with. Overall this is a nice change from the kits based on the Gundam series and I look forward to seeing the more unusual designs (like the Bunyip) as this line continues.

[@TypeVertigo]

Feels like these AMAIM kits will lend themselves nicely to military custom liveries or paint jobs. There's a distinct "real world proof-of-concept developmental prototype" look and feel to their design that doesn't feature in Gundam all that frequently these days - the last few mobile suits that gave me that impression were the Tieren from 00 and the Loto from Unicorn. I'll wait around for the other designs before I buy, but the Byakuchi and Bunyip Boomerang have been very promising thus far.

[@ApenBaard]

This mech is from a prequel story published in the last two hobby japan magazines. Its a bunch of text printed over a big 2 page spread photo of a diorama from a scene of the story. It also features some scratch build enemy mechs that looks pretty neat! The magazines highlight how they've been made as well. I cant read japanese and havent bothered googletranslating the text yet so I have no clue if the story is just 2 parts or theres more in the upcoming issue :')

[@gerardomarca8805]

Ah yes, the best unit number.

[@sazabi888]

The kit is already nice but that extra detail makes it *nice*

[@NekoNinja13]

I'm feeling the same feelings I got from seen how easy it was to mix and match with the IBO kits! My wallet won't be happy, but im excited to potentially getting multiples of these kits just some fun kit bashing

[@golasticus]

That was fast! I dropped by the stream for a bit earlier and this was just being built.

[@NeoSlashott]

The face part etc makes me think of VF-1S Battroid with Max Jenius' blue colors

[@thatrandompersona]

I hope to get some when my local hobby shop supplies them they looks super fun to kit bash with ibo kits

[@serge0251]

NIce looking kit, looking forward to the series as well

[@purnamameda5045]

Huh. I found this in a store once, thought this was a new season 2 kit but I guess it's from a side story. Didn't realize that it was released last year.

[@siomairice1127]

The design really reminds me of kuromukuro. Most especially the hands and feet design.

[@Proseless]

For sure, I get big kuromukuro vibes from this.

[@jojj334Q]

...why am I getting flashbacks to the mech from the Gatekeepers anime?

[@bizophone]

I like these designs. Nice & original.

[@tomassoejakto]

Reminds me of Xcom2's Sparks. Very nice!

[@abnerdoon4902]

I like its design. Reminds me of my AC in Armored Core 3. MIght buy one now because of that.

[@whatisnot1926]

Noice shoulder stickers in the thumbnail

[@MeggyXSanji]

What you guys thinking about HG ZnO release?

[@iceicebabyil]

Where is your rg hi nu review I am hyped for it

[@cabso]

I heard that the thigh Joint falls apart unless you glue the seams. Once again you have convinced me to grab one of these kits...

[@ZakuAurelius]

I didn’t notice any issue with the thighs

[@galaxtionvextrander3237]

Thigh joint issue in mecha gaikotsu review , seems like loose between part & must reassemble the whole joint again to fix it

[@rafsolo]

I think this kit looks better than the kenbu. But I like the Kenbu feet better

[@coreyjohnson19]

I smell a spicy paint job

[@griff3n69]

Are you doing ghost? Is there damashii?

[@Nintenja889]

When can we expect USAGS to ship pre-orders out?

[@chibidrone]

I’ve seen the first few episodes with a friend and its a neat series so far; I wont spoil anything though, so I’ll just say: still not sure where the Byakuchi fits in yet; even with the opening theme and trailers. I do like the Boomerang’s design though, it may be a bit more simpler but i look forward to that one.

[@vustvaleo8068]

the Byakuchi is from the side story manga.

[@chibidrone]

@@vustvaleo8068 oh neat, good to know, ty 👍

[@user-lynKx]

Those particular numbers.... a stream gag?

[@EscobarFurious]

Nice build.

[@astrayproductions]

[@thebigbient8736]

2 episodes out, pretty cool so far.

[@Rob_Teh_Builder]

I'm liking it so far.

[@astrayproductions]

@@thebigbient8736 interesting, will add it to my watchlist

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

It's pretty enjoyable watch for kids and adults I'd say.

[@astrayproductions]

@@fantastiCkiLler92 i just finished it, pretty good

[@liamvillareal9433]

the byakuchi is mechanical and kenbu is sleeker dont you agree

[@EMPEnigma]

Is anyone else hearing a faint, dull popping when Zaku speaks during the review segment?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Could be background noise, window is open

[@kukuhprasetyo5261]

[@CaptainBill22]

It looks interesting, but it really looks like Bandai phoned this one in. Especially disappointing given the $29 price tag.

[@thomaskok5773]

Nice
