Master Grade Gundam X Review

[@Diabolicalbydesign]

When I was young and foolish, I used to believe that Gundam X was the salvaged Wing Zero from Gundam Wing. I thought that Gundam X was the "what if" scenario had operation meteor happened and all the colonies been crashed into earth... Like I said, young and foolish. As a result, I've always had a fascination with Gundam X. Love your review.

[@AloneIStand454]

I'll probably get some hate on this, but Gundam x is my favorite Gundam show. I liked the characters and the mobile suits and I wanted to see more. I was really disappointed when I found out about the 39 episodes. This is my favorite mg and I'm also getting the double x in a few weeks. I really hope bandai makes a divider add on and g falcon.

[@jdexcalibur1989]

AloneIStand454 it was actually a good show but it was aired at a time when the viewing audience were in a gundam cool off... With the UC series up until wing..... People simply had enough of gundam series...

[@finalbladecrisis]

Thanks for the painting tip on the chest piece. Looks so much better with the silver behind it.

[@waxmasterJ]

Great vid, the Gundam X Divider was not only my first high grade kit, but my first 1/100 scale kit too. Can you do a video camparing this 1/100 MG kit against the 1/100 HG version you did a video on a while ago? There aren't very many videos comparing two kits of the same suit and same scale, but different grade, and I think it would be really cool to show the progression bandai has made in it's high end 1/100 scale kits if the late 90' against the high end 1/100 kits of modern day. Thanks gor sharing!

[@GorillaGunner94]

Loved this kit and I could tell you painted the vulcans silver, as did I. And I painted the reflectors clear blue. The only thing I didn't do and refer after finishing the kit was painting the unfree frame sliver where the clear green piece goes. It shows a lot more over the siliver....

[@Animeniacreviews]

"Chances of seeing an X Divider/Maoh is pretty high" 2 years later and we're still waiting on that X Divider bandai...

[@twilight_phantom2969]

Brendan Asakura and we're still waiting for that x-maoh

[@Plasticlover911]

mg gundam x hasnt been restocked for years :(

[@holden_7597]

MG X is rumored for a reprint for the first time in who knows long in December, and the Premium Bandai X Unit 3 is being reprinted as well! Good year for X fans isn’t it?

[@_Caspergers_]

I really love this kit, simple, efficient, next to no nonsense. But my biggest gripe is the softer plastic used in the satellite cannon. Mine took a relatively short stumble and two of the parts broke, yet the GNX that took the X out with it survived with no damage. And that GNX has fallen off of a 5ft dresser

[@Superplatypus14]

My X doesn't have any issues being back heavy with the satellite cannon. He stands pretty strong on the ground without any weird foot/leg placements.

[@codyolson5745]

The clear purple parts are likely to simulate the illumination the suit does when the X satellite panels are fully charged, cause the energy courses through the entire mobile suit before firing the satellite cannon, cause that is what happens in the show, same with the Double X

[@williambochbot7218]

Hey Jab, Would you ever consider posting tutorials on your master grade building process. You have some of the cleanest builds and id like to learn some of your methods.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

I really hope we get an x-maoh

[@TheAarontheblackmage]

I hope they make like an x divider expansion for it. Because the satellite cannon on mine broke...

[@AleksVin]

mine broke aswell. Q_Q

[@RebelRonin-S.M.]

This Mg is really awesome, especially for beginners, any idea if there will ever be an Mg Virsago, I've always loved its design and I really want an Mg adaptation of it, Chest Break or not.

[@epineprine236]

is it possible to combine the g falcon to that bad boy??????!!!!

[@roscoewiese2289]

I have an idea to re paint the blue to orange to make gundam x solar flare

[@ssjichigo666]

if they do a double x mg, its mine, I've been wanting to get the no grade double x, but now its out of stock on most retail site and ebay its gone extremely high in price

[@truittfortenberry8808]

Love your channel! Quick question. How do you prep your kits for the little painting you do? I have this kit and a heavyarms that need little touches. Thanks for any advice.

[@charcoaleater]

don't you thing the shoulder joint similiar to infinite justice?

[@aedreyan87]

hey jabman. where are you buying your kits? i really am interested to buy kits online. woukd wanna know where you get yours to make sure its legit. thanks!

[@jacqueschristov4001]

Hey, recently built a real grade Destiny and am looking for a decent master grade to grab, I have been looking at the Blue frame Astray right now, I have a decent amount of cash that could buy probably any one of the master grades, but would also like to use some of that cash to upgrade and add more tools, so any tools I should have or make sure I have good ones of would also be great.

[@itstotallynotawkward]

hey jabman, how does the clear purple parts due under a black light?

[@jabman025]

thought of the same thing and no nothing lit up......the beam sword blade looked kinda cool though

[@xxnike0629xx]

The fact that it's nearing the end of 2019 and we still don't have an MG GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider baffles me. By now I assumed that we would've gotten MG GX-9900-DV Gundam X Divider as a P-Bandai...

[@maxaryan100]

Would you build an MG X Divider?

[@johnmalkovich2025]

I wish bandai makes a 1/60 gundam X, one of my favorite series in the Gundam saga. I'd be interested if they make a kit of the mysterious Lunar Base Protector mobile suit in Gundam X, I forgot its name. The Gundam X kit looks better than Double X in my opinion, though the X Solar Panels shoud've been taller, they are too short. Can you interchange them with the double X panels ?

[@Alacritousmind]

By the way ever seen the Gundam statue since it was built? Epic felt better than a b... add a letter after that. Great and fun took some pics during the day and during the night when he goes active. You have so much knowledge and again thank you for this sir.

[@Dragonman0876]

My favorite Gundam reviewer has spoken...!!!!

[@faisalakbar9394]

I can't get the shoulder armor stay in place, any suggestions?

[@iou1985]

What do you use for painting the silver? Where can I buy it?

[@spartinprime227co]

Can you do a review of the master grade build strike full package

[@spartinprime227co]

Can u review the mg build strike gundam full package

[@karlastudillo181]

i lost a gundam x chest gun do you think the x divider will do?

[@acemma11]

hay jabman will you be get the unicorn 03 phenex

[@isntwon]

paint the frame to fix the waist if any problems

[@TheUntamablemudkip]

will they eventually make a Mg X Maoh, Wing Fenice and zaku Amazing????

[@twilight_phantom2969]

Edward PROXY it certainly doesn't look like it...

[@sethhickeymiller2452]

Hey, jabman, a quick question as someone who's only ever built HG, NG, and LMHG kits (though a fair bit of them); what Master Grade would you most recommend as an introduction into building MGs?

[@metalmecha7525]

Try this kit the MG gundam x but there's a lot of MG kit good for beginners. My very first MG kit is the heavyarms EW ver from gundam wing. I only like it for design that's it Lol

[@AleksVin]

would the old 1/100 hg X Divider look weird standing beside this one?

[@twilight_phantom2969]

probably

[@DragomegakEx]

Jabman, do u know any mg kits where it doesn't have a back leaning weight issue?

[@archiveofdeath]

Zaku 2.0, Gouf 2.0, both Sinanju and Sinanju Stein, Unicorn, Most versions of the Rx-78, Qubely (surprisingly), Perfect Zeong, RX-178 MK 2, the Wing kits without huge backpacks (Heavy Arms, Tallgeese, Sandrock, Deathsythe)....

[@archiveofdeath]

I realize I kinda buried it in there, but Perfect Zeong is a surprisingly stable kit.

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

archiveofdeath Well, Perfect Zeong is bigger than most PGs and is very bottomheavy. it BETTER be stable.

[@archiveofdeath]

BlitzkriegOmega I've actually had more problems with mine separating at the "skirt armor" area. hard to explain unless you have the kit in front of you.

[@1jaacosta]

I like how the purple looks and I have the x divider

[@abdulwafiy9944]

Hey does this kit have thight joints? I love thight joints haha

[@richard1701able]

I have my MG X right next to me. Thanks for the video Jabman, you helped me work out my build strategy. I'm definitely going to paint that purple a metallic blue. Do the decals really stand out as stickers? Is it worth putting them on now or waiting for the waterslides?

[@jabman025]

they look fine, most go on white surfaces and barely show any hint of being a sticker

[@richard1701able]

***** Thanks my friend. I am can top coat it with piece of mind now.

[@gunplakt8695]

After watching this , it made me want to buy a MG Gundam X. But i don't have the time to buy it yet. Also can you take request for the MG RX-78-2 ver 1.5?

[@jamespryor4930]

how much does the gundam x usually cost in America currency

[@karlastudillo181]

+James Pryor i bought mine for 38usd in a local store

[@sliferstrike]

what kind of silver paint do you use...?

[@jabman025]

tamiya X-11 chrome silver

[@sliferstrike]

ow thanks brah...

[@shaf8891]

***** is it a marker?

[@breakerxblandino]

Ever wish they did make the x maoh?

[@magnusprime27]

is x size wise bigger than the v/v2?

[@jabman025]

+Jason Magolan bigger easily

[@GundamLegacyExtreme]

I really don't know why they went with the bracket hands, why in gods name did they not use the 3.0 hands or make smaller 3.0 hands if they had to.

[@TypeVertigo]

Most likely a scale thing, IMO. The "emotion manipulators" got used on mostly UC MS kits that chronologically predated the smaller F91-and-afterward designs. On the MG RX-78-2 3.0 they actually look kind of large and oversized, but that has celebrity status as the granddaddy of the franchise so it got 'em. Bandai probably didn't see enough of a reason to invest in a set of emotion manipulators for MG kits of mobile suits in the 15-17m height range, which the X and its variants definitely fall into. Could be wrong. I don't see why they couldn't have used the old MG hinged gun-grip hands though.

[@kogmirage2355]

Because its too damn small to use the hands from large UC kits.

[@Jacob.DTorres]

Hey jabman I noticed u dnt have a review for the mg zz ... still talking requests ?

[@jabman025]

don't have a ZZ..........do have a full armor ZZ which has already been reviewed, check my older videos

[@TDizon3]

Do you know what's going on with Henry/ Vegeta8259, you two seem pretty close.

[@jabman025]

on a sabbatical from gunpla, I am paraphrasing but he said he is an gunpla hangover and needs to sober up, he'll be back eventually.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

which is better. this or the double x?

[@jabman025]

DX, but the X is a better starter kit

[@twilight_phantom2969]

***** okay, thanks for the help!

[@xander7765]

The year is 2020. Finding any Gundam X kit is impossible. They do not exist. I am incredibly sad I just want an mg gx Also still no mg divider or maoh sad times

[@jabman025]

it is odd that the X is out of print but you can buy an MG DX off the Target website

[@xander7765]

@@jabman025 thanks for the info! I'm planning on buying the dx again as soon as I can afford it

[@EpicBlargman]

I want one as well, i just started watching Gundam X and im really enjoying it. I did a check and found some users on ebay selling it but they want it for alot more than usual, the cheapest i saw was $88

[@1nvd]

So hard to find this kit in 2024

[@markdanielreyes9893]

No problem with my kit, it stands perfectly well carrying the satellite cannon at the back. The hips are ok and doesn't bend.

[@edgarusongo2129]

Other reviewers issue on MG DX and GX is weak waist unit Solution: cut a thin runner, put it inside between body and waist ^_^

[@bdmpotato]

Been waiting for this...

[@billscott85]

I wish they would make live action movies of all the gundam series especially gundam wing

[@naransolongoboldbayer8030]

You ever seen G-Saviour? If you do. You will regret that wish

[@scikid21]

I want this kit

[@edgarusongo2129]

MG Gundam X and Double X issue was weak waist unit causing the kit to bend backward Solution: cut a thin runner,put it inside between body and waist unit ,put all the weight in front then you will see,it never bend backward I did that on MG Double X ^_^

[@raven2kf]

We'll get a divider but Bandai will probably make it a hobby shop exclusive and piss everyone off

[@MattisProbably]

The first 10 seconds, did you think you would ever say those words, Jabman?^^

[@jabman025]

5 years ago no, but last year made me think it was possible

[@krypthis]

so getting this

[@Fer-cd1or]

I wish bandai made a mg virsago

[@justinlee1113]

hey jabman are you gonna review the MG kits from gumdab build fighters? come on man, be the first one to review these kits here.

[@MattisProbably]

The X is not exactly a super complex Gundam to begin with, but I don't think this is the reason this kit is so "by the numbers", as you put it. Gundam X was not a financial success for Bandai. It completely tanked. So why would they invest a crapton of money into the design of this kit? :P They played it safe. It's a basic but functional MG that does everything right but nothing special. If the kit becomes a financial success we get the X Devider and the DX. If not Bandai didn't lose a ton of money but at least those who wanted a MG X are happy. We got a super solid MG out of that. So I think we can't complain^^

[@pilotamurorei]

it tanked because they changed the time of airing to 6am, when NO ONE would watch it, and was cancelled mid-season so they had to wrap it up in 39 episodes. Shortest Gundam tv series since the original. That said, it's not a bad series in the slightest, and is DEFINITELY better than Wing.

[@OdinGilgamesh]

That Shiny Newtype Dolphin.

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

is...is this the only Shield-rifle that actually...WORKS in a plausable way?!

[@montesakura6030]

I like how mg's get cockpits :D

[@Mecha82]

I have never like that beam rifle/shield combination weapon and I still don't.

[@Mythicalmage]

Goes to the trouble of repainting the gunbarrels silver but doesn't paint the inside black o.o

[@joshuabriones9547]

i think i can build it in 5 hrs, same as the mg proto zero

[@st4rd3str0y3r]

be gentle with your sattelite cannon, ithere's an articulation point on it that's very thin and weak.

[@jupitris7372]

Finally!

[@rileybear253]

awsome

[@Kefkaownsall]

I prefer the hg beam sword
