HGUC Baund Doc - Zeta Gundam UNBOXING and Review

Here's the High-Grade 1/144 scale Baund Doc. Finally this massive mobile suit gets a proper HGUC release! It's big, it's mean, and it's pink! Well, at least partly.

I've always loved how Zeta's occasional monster-of-the-week style resulted in bizarre, menacing, and exceptionally distinct mobile suits and mobile armors. Sure, it meant that a lot of them were an acquired taste or were simply more niche designs, but it provided such distinct and inventive designs that are instantly recognizable. It's the kind of thing that modern Gundam works shy away from in the hopes of making as many of their designs as possible be easy on the eyes to guarantee sales. You'll never see something like the Qubeley or the Baund Doc in WfM. My only gripe with this 80s mecha kino design is the lack of thrusters. For how menacing it looks while it rushes a MS down while in its MA mode, it only has 5 thruster bells: three medium-sized bells clustered at the tail of the skirt, and two microscopic thrusters on the tiny backpack on the torso. This thing deserved at least twice as many thrusters, along with an enormous flare of combusting gas and a comet-like trail to really make it look like it's meteoring towards you.

Guess you know how you’d wanna kitbash it. Should you wish to do so.

[@dylanv9463]

“if you want, like, a space... flying... crab... kinda thing...”

[@YouGuessIGuess]

"I've got an idea for our next Zeta design." "What have you got? Remember, we've got to live up to the excellence of designs like the zaku, gouf, and dom." "We put a kangaroo in a ufo skirt and give it a crab claw. And it's neon pink." "My god...you're a genius."

[@lemeres2478]

In the UC universe, even the space ships get robot arms. The idea is AMBAC- a system where the mobile suits waive their arms and legss around like acrobats in order to turn in space. This allows for 0 fuel turns (Because you would otherwise have to use fuel for every tiny turn and adjustment). And it is why they have humanoids robots- if you got robot arms, you might as well give them guns. And 4 arms is better than 2 for the acrobat stuff. And you need landing gear, so two of the arms are actually legs. BAM- mobile suit made. This is also why the suits have stupid wings in Zeta. "6 is better than 4" is the logic.

[@maverick6c631]

Kinda little nonsense, except Minovsky craft system from mobile armor Apsalus and White Base ship. GN Drive (Gundam 00) and Ahab Reactor (Gundam IBO) kinda give little sense. They can manipulate gravity.

[@gengedimasta]

@@maverick6c631 yea, manipulating gravity makes more sense than moving arms and legs for more efficient movement...

[@gearthehuman2115]

So, it's kinda like a fish changing direction with its fins?

[@nicholaswhitmyer3450]

Seeing this design again in dragons heaven really tripped me out, then realized m kobayashi made that lil film everything came together. Really want the gray one tbh, hopefully thatll come out in the near future

[@possibly8180]

Somehow a greyscale color scheme almost always makes a wacky looking design look much more menacing imo.

[@azureandnoir3274]

i agree it looks kinda cool idk if i would get this kit if i did i could not keep it like this i would want to paint it asap

[@Thebrokenrobot273]

Now I wanna see a update kit of the O since all of the most iconic kits from Zeta got an update

[@golasticus]

I gotta say, thank you for putting back that part where you slap down the runner bags as you count them. I don't know why but I find it entertaining and immediately noticed when you stopped doing it on some of your previous videos.

[@ZakuAurelius]

A couple videos recently yeah I didn’t do it, haha

[@hikkigamer8082]

I wonder how a painted up Baund Doc with some custom touches would look next to an Emperor's Children army.

[@notatallheng]

Kitbash it with a Megami Device kit and you have yourself a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh. That being said, at that point it'd probably cost as much as GeeDubs's stuff...

[@skeeter5076]

@@notatallheng 3d print one of millions of different anime girl STLs and use that instead of a Megami Device kit. 3d printing is the only affordable way to play Warhammer lmao

[@andreassetiawan7773]

Idk why some people dislike the design, for me this is very cool and unique. It's like the Anubis of the Gundam Universe (MS mode only though) I hope they do more bizzare kits like this

[@fantastiCkiLler92]

Personal preference, I don't like it either. I like weird design in AOZ but some of the design in Zeta just doesn't look good to me.

[@gearthehuman2115]

To me, it looks like it was made out of junks.

[@SoloAxlion]

Baund Doc is one of my favorite MS in the old PS2 Gundam vs Zeta Gundam game. Great to see it finally got a model kit release.

[@noahriemer2381]

I remember the first time I saw the Baund Doc, I was like "This has to be the ugliest Mobile suit I've ever seen" then when I saw Gundam Build Fighters GM Counterattack and I saw the Gold Baund Doc and it blew my old opinion out of the water

[@fpxchaos]

Pretty darn awesome honestly, I know it’s goofy but it’s unique and that’s what a lot of gundam series lack now days! Awesome review man!

[@AvengingOttsel]

One of the weird designs from zeta that I actually really like, it looks kind of creepy and the proportions are nice I definitely prefer it to the quebely, Gaza c, or barzam

Dude, I watched the livestream build and that was a good time.

Ok your intro become more and more...interesting lol. Also Lobster mobile suit!

[@siomairice1127]

His name kinda make sense. Baund Doc, there's a Filipino word Bundok meaning mountain. Baund Doc loos like a mountain with crab claw when it transforms.

The most beautiful and elegant MS is finally here! I have five in the mail currently.

Good review

[@ApenBaard]

Holy moly, I love this dumb thing xD *wishlisted* Thanks for the review as usual zack!

[@sssspider]

I think this kit would actually look pretty nice kitbashed with some skinny legs. The massive waist piece kind of looks like a dress already.

[@GwendolynFilm]

this kit looks really cool!! the single joint at the arm is kinda dissapointing though, but it's understandable with the transformation it's just kinda dissapointing seeing a a really skinny elbow having a single joint in my opinion

[@ZakuAurelius]

Single elbow plus the mid-forearm bend make for a full double bend basically. Just a really long elbow joint kinda

[@GomuGomu4]

I want this one! And The Moon Gundam!.

[@jeffreycapati7379]

It's wierd and I love it, I'll buy 2 of those

[@JoseGarcia-rg3dx]

I really like this design. It reminds me of something Toriyama would draw, specifically the Skeleton Pirate Robot from Dragonball

[@humanmold]

Not too much stickers which is 👍
