Correction: 12:44 The RG Akatsuki will be compatible with the Zeus , but not straight out of the box. You'll need connector parts that are only included with the P-Bandai exclusive RG Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam.

[@yellowkun2539]

I know it requires a bit of imagination, but in a way, the Gundam-Ex kinda reminds me of a skeleton with its color scheme. Still, it doesn't save it from looking weird in the end

[@NowWeAreAllGames]

Been watching your videos for a while and just realized I never subscribed, or commented to say thanks. I am always interested in new Gundam merch and other news but I'm a bit on the casual side so there is no way in hell I'd ever be able to keep up with this stuff without your channel. Thanks!!!

[@AltairSaosin]

@18:37 They're the hover parts for the back of the leg. Also, I'm pretty sure it's so damn expensive cause there's gonna be a tooooon of unused parts from the Woundwart and Barzam at the very least.

[@zgmfx-09a]

The elbows and knees on the strike aren't really bad, the issue to me are the hips and ankles. Also the skirts aren't a part of the frame doubt they'd reuse it.

[@neon_lavander]

With the earth colours gundam, I hope the revive getting more recolours over the EG becomes a trend

[@TheRodeschild]

12:44 On the announcement details for the RG Akatsuki, they confirm you can attach the Zeus Silhouette onto it! Edit: They updated the announcement saying you need the P-Bandai pack for the adaptors lol

[@irex_models]

But for some reason, they include the adapters with a P-Bandai set for its other equipment.

[@theclosecall4095]

but u have to buy the pban shiranui pack for the adaptor

[@TheRodeschild]

@@irex_models yeah I only saw the updated announcement after posting my comment lol, thanks Bandai!

[@EbullientSMP]

There are a few details with RG Akatsuki stated in the product bio worth mentioning. One thing is they did confirm the RG Strike's frame is used, but only partially. How badly this will affect the kit, I cannot say, but man it's a shame they chose it. Secondly, they did say it's gonna be compatible with the Zeus Silhouette pack...except they clarified LATER saying it will be a P-Bandai expansion set WITH the Shiranui pack. So we are getting a separate Shiranui pack as P-Bandai. I'm still probably getting the kit, but man did Bandai did an amazing move in killing hype with their supposed "big December release". Though, on the bright side, it's apparently coming with an action base too! Probably to help it stand, but it's something!

[@theclosecall4095]

yep, shiranui pack being a pban really gatekept me from buying it

[@NeoSlashott]

5:20 I do have those old separate SD Strike Freedom, Impulse, Destiny, and Strike Noir still kept to this day. 😁😁 They do have stickers provided but some detailed parts needs abit of painting. SD Strike Freedom on the other hand with a single solid piece Wings sadly don't have dragoons gimmick.

[@TRDGE]

Already pre-ordered the Destiny Spec II / Zeus, I'm so excited.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

[@zeroranma2]

I'll be honest I was surprised that Kakarot didn't put the Meyrin figure in all caps at the start of the news title.

[@MobiusGT]

I went to the gundam seed freedom collab cafe and they had various trailers for the movie on loop. I gotta say Lacus's quote hit so hard with the theme music (the 20 or so times i heard it). I was actually a bit disappointed it didn't have the bgm in the actual movie.

[@QuintusAntonious]

I think the lift is meant to be a boom or utility lift, rather than some kind of command platform. The Zaku Tank started out as a Zaku Worker, and the lift could be used for maintenance access on mobile suits in the field.

[@SergiOrtiz]

Never had a gold plated kit, is the plating resistant? Im very scared to scratch dent it, I actually prefer metallic plastic injection, not as flashy but easier to sand, doesnt catch as many fingerprints and more durable

[@cryogenictendency4565]

They might pull what they did with the limited edition RG Freedom Ver. GCP with the RG Akatsuki tbh From what I've heard about that, it was pretty good

[@user-hg6yo4ut8v]

Im most excited for the HG Murasame Kai as I definitely agree with that sexy mobile armor mode and I have no problems with a parts former. Im even surprised how its going to be released on my birthday month❤ I am 100% buying at least 2 or 3 of those

[@Gundumindia-10610]

16:46 i feel like thoes joints will be like thoes from rg unicorn where upper arm is pre moulded and lower arm is connected to it and the knee might be also the same hopefully also i dont think bandai will go back to full pre built inner frame Because now a days rg selling point is master grade style inner frame with some pre built inner frame

[@galechronos]

I saw on reddit that there's a p-bandai shiranui akatsuki backpack on the way with attachment parts for the zeus silhouette and the RG akatsuki. I can't confirm if that's true though.

[@johnscatoloni3827]

12:48 I have read the Zeus pack should be compatible with the RG Akatsuki

[@vustvaleo8068]

[@littlelw319]

Here’s my hope for akatsuki. I hope that torso, waist and hip joints are new. Okay maybe the waist part is a wishful thinking knowing Bandai. While rg strike arms and legs are poopoo for most of the time, it’s still in the manageable side of things. What gets me mad about rg strike is its legs are prone to fall off if they can just fix that I can manage rg akatsuki with action base.

[@allenusison3124]

Let me be honest here, the fact we got 07 and 08 decals for the METEOR here means it would be more accurate lore-wise to also fit in the original G-Frame Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice, since Compass handed the Eternal and the METEORs to the Joule Team (the only members of ZAFT they can trust their tech secrets on).

The non-Gundam announcements were more interesting than most of these (although given my anti-SEED stance that's understandable), but the Cal-RE (or however that symbol salad of a name is written, seriously what is up with Compass' mobile suit naming conventions?) manages to look quite pretty, and the Murasame Kai is very good-looking. Not sad about the partsforming transformation on it, perfect transformations that involved at HG scale only lead to tears. Barzam II continues to be the most interesting and it's nice to have a release date. Surprised to learn that the folding claw at the bottom of the, er, protrusion is now a full sub-arm though. That's... a choice. Wing Zero MGSD is really great but I already have the MG Ver Ka it's based on and I don't really like doubling up. I am looking forward to the 30MM Armored Core kits and the HG Gunleon coming up! Also hoping that 30 Minutes Fantasy is good as well, they look like fun.
