HGUC 1/144 AMX-104 R-Jarja Review - MECHA GAIKOTSU REVIEW

[@GunMeister22]

So I had the hguc R-Jarja for a while before you made the video. I already panel lined it and i painted the blade of the heat bayonet metallic silver. As much as I love it, you were right, the articulation was quite loose on mine as well. However, it's nothing that the super glue trick can't fix. After that, the arms pop off from time to time but that's okay.

[@missmilky6677]

My opinion on the poly-caps is the mold probably getting progressively more worn considering how many times they've given us this exact same runner of them over the past few years.

So I just built the kit today. Great looks, but indeed, the polyacap connecting the shoulder to the body is to short, so whenever you slightly force the movement of the shoulders, the whole arm pops off. On my kit, it's the left arm. The abominal polycap holds fine. Overall, it looks great, it poses ok, but silver is an appropriate score. I still recommend it to those who love the design. The build was cool.

[@tronlives1004]

Check your polycaps for cracks then replace them if you have some spares laying around if not then recommend using paint to thicken the joints

[@skyyswaggstudios2934]

Yeah man, I have this valvrave kit with a loose leg, when I checked, poly cap was broken. Luckily I had some extras

[@Pokkuti]

my r gyagya has a cracked polycaps as well. so disappoiting since i spent lot of time painting that kit ;3;

This was the very first kit I built personally, and i love it. I've never had the joints fall off on me, but some are a tad loose, mostly the head and hands on mine. Great review as always though!

[@haydenandersen9937]

This new upload schedule is absolutely amazing

[@EvilCerealBoX]

I'm late to the party. I just finished building this kit and have zero issues the caps or anything like that. The one issue I do have is the rifle is too long to actually be posed with unless you tuck it under the shoulder.

[@MidnightHatter]

I love that hot 80s style! ZZ was so great.

[@dialect64]

Design: slick and menacing. Colors, Ronald MacDonald!💩😝 Gonna repaint mine for sure, but really enjoy the kit!

[@true_neutral3378]

Maybe glossy dark blue and gold for the yellow parts?

[@seanbrice738]

I love my Psycho Bitch! I was so excited when I got mine. I waited years for it to come out too! Mine I only have issues with the shoulder pads jumping off at the hinge joint not the ball joints.

[@CaneMcKeyton]

I picked up the R-Gyagya and found the same problem with the right arm. Turns out you really have to jam the ball into the socket to actually get it securely in there.

[@knightfall6900]

*Looks like Ronald McDonald got himself a mobile-suit*

[@yonleon21]

R in the name stands for Ronald

[@TheDman.G]

I had problems with the R-gyagya, same spots as this one

[@JaceTheDragon]

I'm going to echo what some others here have said: the Build Fighters version of this kit didn't have any of the loose joints you're seeing with the R-Jarja. If anything, it felt more flexible (better range of motion) AND more solid. But Bandai are known to make subtle changes to the chemical makeup of their materials (like the polycap plastic) so maybe something happened between then and now.

[@bdamasterdark]

I picked one up the other day and I dont have any problem with the joints staying in place... I got three kits (R-Jarja, Barzam, and Barbatos Lupus Rex) and of all the joints only one (Barbatos waist) is loose.

[@dicksonluiakitperday2532]

Have to be careful on the middle Polycap. Mine broke off and I have to super glue the entire middle section. Besides that a good HG kit

[@amazinggunpla3778]

Mine is solid as a rock. Haven't had this guy fall apart

[@fatguyfrommy8421]

the R-Gyagya is one of the most troublesome kit I ever handled, most of the bits are loose, gluing them is a must. Some of the polycaps cracked and the slot for the scabbard side skirt peg is completely broken. The shoulder parts are just too heavy. Thanks goodness this one have a rotating shoulder part, the R-Gyagya's gattling mounted shield position is just too ridiculous.

[@TheBlade202]

I am a year late but I do have the rx-78-2 Gundam and I had the same problem with some broken parts because the person who delivered it wasn’t being very careful so I had to get another one but as soon as me and my mother finished building it ( I needed help because I didn’t understand the instructions that well ) this was at least a year or 2 years ago when I got it the joints were relatively weak so the parts kept a coming off a lot so I posed it with one of the traditional Gundam stances which was annoying at times.

[@EXADragaon]

Pls review the HG Double X. It's an awesome kit with a very great price. You won't get disappointed even with the stickers on the solar panel except for the double v-fin.

[@StarkNoir2094]

Well I checked mine and the only loose part was the connection between the head and neck polycap. Everything else was fine. You probably got a bad set of polycaps. I know I had to take polycaps from other kits to use on a new kit sometimes because some of the ones that came with it were bad, particularly the ones used for those types of shoulder joints.

[@tommyngospeech]

*JUST TO KEEP ALL GUNPLA BUILDERS INFORMED!* Master Grade Gundam Dynames is released on the weekend.

[@vinnycent007]

I think it might not be the polycaps. I got a R Gyagya and my bro got this kit. We have determined that the polycaps are not built to handled this amount of plastic and thus frequently pops off. Just be careful of waist section as mine snapped.

[@senpie9087]

Some polycaps are weak and good

[@vinnycent007]

@@senpie9087 I do agree, but I have done the poly swap with my collection of spares and getting similar results. Bandai should of designed the kit using polycaps from PC-132, the one used on the Gustav Karl. It would gave the kit far better stability.

The joints pop out when there is a problem with the polycaps themselves,i have had these problems with most of my kits, Barbatos, Kimaris, KAMIKI BURNING, Red warrior, Jiyan altron...

Man that is red. I mean people say Char is as red as you can get but this is borderline blinding. Also man divers kits getting a lot of flack (and I’m not sure it’s totally deserved). Although yeah the hgbf kit this is based on is great. Kinda want to get them both and do a kitbash cuz there’s attributes I like from both of them. Also as for it’s polycaps Zakuaurelius had no problems with his polycaps so I’d say yours is just defective. Maybe it’s something in the building process? Idk

[@KasperAura]

I'm sorry I'm laughing at the voice-over articulation part as stuff just falls off. I wonder if you got a dud polycap runner? It happens sometimes, the polycaps are either slightly weaker or slightly larger than usual and it causes stuff to either be loose or fall off entirely.

[@jaredseager184]

I had the exact same experience with the r gya gya. Idk if it’s a fault in the shitty poly caps as much as it is the design. With shoulders that big, Bandai should know better than to put all that wait on ball joint poly cap. It completely ruined that kit for me, the damn thing couldn’t even keep its arms in while standing still, let alone during posing.

Thinking about it I think the scabbard is pretty much not needed I mean it would not of course hold the beam inside and having a scabbard for just the sword handle is just wasteful.
