[@traphimawari7760]

That transformation looks insane, like mobile fortress isn't even the right description that thing looks like its a whole a55 archangel ship, I wouldn't be surprised if those legs opened up and catapults junior mobile suits

[@ap_trial666]

So practically, in lack of better words, you hope for it to giving birth to mini gundam right?

[@ashutoshbhardwaj4258]

​@Andika Pratama it cost you nothing to never say that....

[@slippyquack7672]

​@Ashutosh Bhardwaj he isn't wrong tho lmao.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4]

The overall colors on this kit did change Like how the blue got a sort of a purple-ish feel to it, the entire kit kind of looks like there was a single drop of grey paint sprayed on to it, if that helps you imagine what it must look like Hardly any color difference, but definitely there

[@alastormedial]

I was initially bummed the lime green parts weren't clear, but it's grown on me a lot. Really distinct look, can't think of any other kit that has such an acidic color OOB.

[@brokenbond2012]

not just the wine green parts but just the overall kit itself it's so dynamic looking and different from anything that we've seen, a mix of smooth curves and angular edges and multiple layers of armor and other parts come together to make something truly unique

[@blackassassinknight]

check out the cyberised color version of this kit

[@brokenbond2012]

Such a sick looking upgrade to an already incredible unit

[@alcardespear2446]

Junk

[@HurricaneMerc]

Literally just opened up the package containing my standalone Raijin when I saw this was posted. Exquisite timing.

[@CoTroll]

I already have it in my backlog but didn't know that the wings can be turned down like that, looks awesome!

[@illerhumpy3867]

I kinda like the purple a little bit more than the original blue than it would normally have honestly. Looks pretty slick like that 👍

[@azminor9345]

After watching this review, I'm glad I got this kit through P Bandai. Going to display it in it's flight form for sure.

[@Blitzwolfer233]

Oh great because we totally needed a kit like this to be even cooler

[@son_duby]

i always love how clean this gundam looks i got to get it myself

[@Xenobears]

I got the maneuver striker for my eclipse Gundam a while back and I love it-such a cool spiky boi. It actually kinda reminds me of the Xenogears from the Square RPG of the same name.

[@julianraynelson8020]

Actually I think it looks like the dragon astray

[@Sun_________686]

You have to love gundams and gunpla recently I got into the shows and the gunplas love the designs of some and they sure do look badass😄

[@raigaLCC]

12:19 the word macross immediately shot through my head the moment i saw this silhouette lol

[@illerhumpy3867]

Dayum. That flight form X Raijin Striker combo is something else for sure, I'm not huge on flight forms but I'd go out of my way to get two of these bad boys just so I could have both modes front and center on display for a new center shelf piece, I need to change it up soon anyways cause the whole things getting rearranged soon anyways lol maybe I can make that a reality... I'll have to see what's up in the next 3 or 4 paychecks if Id wanna do anything like that for myself right now though lol

[@ButtersGettingHard]

P Bandai did the same thing with the RG Nu HWS sets, there is a minor colour variation between the combo pack and the expansion packs. I havent built mine yet so I dont know if the expansion or the combo was the "more brown" version

[@Zetswe_Nox]

Can't wait to build this kit got the combo. I got mine from Pbandai USA they are good to use if u live in the USA.

[@MizukiDraws123]

Looking forward to seeing your perfect grade astray red frame and strike freedom

[@christianalvarez8287]

Can’t believe you got this nice bro can’t wait to get my too

[@ishmaelgilder1668]

I still can't not think of the Raijin Striker visor as like a tarp that was blown into the Eclipse's face by high wind

[@gamerkingdom1442]

A PBANDAI ECLIPSE WITH A SPECIAL BACKPACK!? Wowza!! 😁

[@alidoucious]

Finally i just got this kit might as well watch the review first

[@FerrickAnima]

a thought just occurred, but looking at the pegs for the Raijin pack wings, wouldn't it be possible to use that on the MGEX strike freedom too?

[@zero195]

It's usually the case with P Bandai versions, that they recolor it is some way. Gotta have some reason to buy it if you gotta collect/build them all.

[@waltweiffenbach8476]

I haven't built mine yet, but on the runner the yellows look more orange-y and slightly darker, and I could not tell a difference with the reds

[@xxnike0629xx]

1:30 This is often the case when Bandai releases a P-Bandai add on set and also a 'combination pack' that includes the base unit and the add on. Often times, the combination version will be in a different color. A recent example is the release of the MG AGE-1G Gundam AGE-1 Glansa. The 'combination pack' has slightly altered colors. Watching this kind of makes me wonder if Bandai plans on making an MG FX-550 Skygrasper.

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx Will you hoard its BOXES if that happens?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx Will you also hoard Striker Packs' BOXES too due to its compatibility with Skygrasper?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx Will you pose pics or vids of them side by side? Each wearing different packs?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx In other news, will you gonna build the kits inside the BOXES you hoarded recently and use the tools you hoarded too?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx BTW, a pic or vid of your built kits, or it did not happen LUL

[@josevargas8345]

Love your content

[@fadeplays820]

I know the IWSP has the same adapter as the lightning striker pack i was waiting for that

[@lester_2020]

RAIJIN ECLIPSE sounds like a good name for combined.

[@Ashterrs]

This comes with waterslide decals unlike the normal eclipse?

[@jonathandoherty9082]

Are you ever gonna review the Metal Robot Spirits Gundam Kimaris Vidar?

[@GachaX2]

How do you transform it so easily? I keep thinking I would break mine every time I move a joint

[@lanceph3138]

Hey Mecha gaikotsu can you check your god gundam if it has any broken parts on the leg/ankle armor cause my god gundam has a broken armor part on the ankle idk why it got broken

[@Barbariandisks]

So Hathaway's flash takes place before or after F91 and crossbones?

[@vustvaleo8068]

meanwhile in the SEED Eclipse manga the debut of the Raijin Striker ended with the main protagonist getting defeated in battle and the Eclipse Gundam getting trashed by the enemy plus the protagonist's "friend" betrayed him and joining the enemy's side.

[@fto9398]

Ouch lmao

[@remylordski]

i saw it on p bandai when they had it available on preorder i did want to get cause money was tight after holiday shopping

[@arifhafizan7430]

Does this eclipse gundam has a cockpit like the MG standalone mobile suite?

[@ricardorunos9782]

I tried ordering it online when pre-orders first opened, but they closed pretty much instantly.

[@TheGundam20]

I would like to see some of your custom builds

[@shadowoftheundead]

This thing takes up more space and is heavier than i expected

[@maxnexus5421]

are you going to review the third party kit genesis?

[@ry0usama511]

Any chance foe HG YF19 review?

[@1996starter]

Wait does the lightning striker be equipped on eclipse

[@INFNTRX_AERO]

Please review the rg freedom gcp and the rg nu ff

[@neondiclonius]

It looks like the same color to me, having just checked my Eclipse gundam. But i do not have both

[@Sarazan97]

May i ask what the dimensions of the box are?

[@a.p.studios8713]

I found that using a chrome silver behind the beam shields adds an awesome glistening beam effect However, what do you guys recommend are the best kits to get for my eclipse gundam? I have no other seed ms so i would like to know what’s the best pack for this beast of a model

[@drshin9893]

This isn’t an objective issue… Be an adult and make your own decisions.

[@mordredphantom9073]

Seems mg astray red dragon could provide a whole different vibes for the eclipse, I've built astray red dragon and i have eclipse + raijin in my backlog, hope I could experiment on these bad boys soon.

[@a.p.studios8713]

@@drshin9893 im under 16 man im just saying i mainly use amazon and everything is wicked expensive

[@thaihungphan7255]

Try the perfect eclipse combo aile strike + sword launcher

[@Cooldude-kc5wf]

color scheme on this pack really reminds me of the skygrasper makes me wonder why there still isn't a bandai MG skygrasper

[@ArchusKanzaki]

Guess Eclipse is the replacement for it. There are PG and RG but strangely no MG. But, usually Launcher and Sword Striker are sold with the Sky Grasper so guess the fact that Launcher and Sword Striker are not even launched publicly, is probably reason for no MG Sky Grasper.

[@Cooldude-kc5wf]

@@ArchusKanzaki actually the launcher and sword striker packs are in a box with the old mg strike the pbandai kit is just a repack of that kit minus the gundam

[@chiiiiie5608]

From what I can tell, no other visible differences between the old eclipse release and the one that comes with the striker pack aside from the purplish tint on the blue trim edited for spelling correction

[@desshinta9428]

Because of course the Gundam created from reverse-adapting back The Villkiss MUST gain access to the Discord Feather.

[@vanebo21c]

I have a normal release and this release, I do believe they are the same color

[@jomarhiservanez5730]

Please review MG Destiny Extreme Blast mode.

[@AlexCaste]

i believe the color you're looking for is "indigo". That's at least the color of light that's between blue & violet. 😄

[@Sam-vb2vh]

Dunno if its just me but I'm getting huge Macross vibes with how the eclipse gundam looks here

[@aguynamedlynx6397]

VF-25 Tornado Pack, or the YF-29

[@Sam-vb2vh]

@@aguynamedlynx6397 Exactly! The relaxed striker mode at 11:55 looks a lot like Max's YF-29, specifically the latest version from the zettai live movie.

[@Dom12453]

we need a mecha gaikotsu ragetage

[@jokermaker19]

Judge backpack?

[@garygcrook]

The colour between Blue and Purple is usually Indigo. (And not Blurple.)

[@markaldrichdelasanta9845]

Hi @MechaGaikotsu and Gunpla community, I was hoping you can give me a list of the top 5 sturdiest MG kits around? Thank you so much!

[@MrEnKaye]

Raijin Eclipse sounds like the name of a Japanese Jaeger from Pacific Rim 😅

[@rowanwinged]

Red is the same, the Yellow and Blues are darker. I have a short vid on my channel that has them side by side.

[@princeclarenzreyes5313]

We will wait for metal robot spirits gundam kimaris vidar

[@rexa175]

i wonder how the 00 got mix up all his weapon unit..from 00+raiser unit+xn unit+7sword unit..

[@peterpunc1628]

This guy is a scammer

[@aimanhakimi8764]

Wait u can't buy those kind of stands separately? Then what is the action base 1?

[@muisverriet]

Action Base 1 is different from the one included.

[@Flip5ide]

Anyone else find that neon visor is a bit shit at staying on the Eclipse face?

[@prodimusfilms562]

I’m scared to pose my eclipse gundam

[@albertwesker295]

How do master grades hold up over time in general? I mean like joints etc?

[@izzysteez27]

It depends on the year that it was designed. Newer models don’t use poly caps, so no joint issues

[@izzysteez27]

But to answer your question, I only collect mg. Much more intricate than hg

[@albertwesker295]

@@izzysteez27 thanks for answering! Was asking this cuz im thinking of getting the mg gundam mk v (saw multiple reviews for it and everyone says its super solid). I have a sort of phobia of model kits as my first was the rg amatsu mina so I just tend to stick with action figures especially if there's a robot spirits ver anime alternative.

[@broodstar8872]

@@albertwesker295 yo i got the mk-v and its pretty solid and huge kit no ragrets lol

[@gachapawn6663]

its cool and awesome like really plus its massive but im not a fan of a kit or mobile suit design with alot of things going on, it felt too busy in my eyes 😅😁

[@Grayri22]

Ah damn it pbandai

[@joheezy8885]

i love all these kits if only i wasn't poor

[@EvonyNinj]

I feel your pain :/ I'm chewing through my backlog

[@dorky2958]

ah yes, the crusty hip Gundam

[@anub1s15]

man i wish they would have included that action base with the MG unicorn full armor, would have been real handy to keep that mass under control :P and the sazabi ver.ka because really what other action base has a chance in hell of keeping that thing off the ground :P with the screw it tends to be hard to get it tight enough to hold up the kit but not so tight that you split the plastic and usually when it gives it really gives and the kit is taking a test flight.

[@michaeltj8698]

Hg Lo booster please

[@Gajenzask]

I have this on my backlog, now I have two eclipse. One with Maneuver striker pack and one with Raijin Striker pack. Now I just need a EX impulse pbandai so I can add the Raijin striker pack.

Cool but back heavy

[@ligercal-1394]

Yoo I'm early this time

[@Nelsonwmj]

I love the SEED/SEED Destiny MS designs, but for the love of God I Wish Bandai would stop designing outrageous backpacks like this one just for the sake of them looking huge. Keep it simple looking with clean lines, and lay off the Day-Glo!

[@elpizo1789]

The Raijin visor ruins the look for me, but no one said it's neccessery...

[@RedCometNurse]

My only complaint about this one is that light green visor. It just looks out of place. I love that the Eclipse Striker Packs are designed to be independent from the suit, so displaying them separate works for me. I can't wait for the next one.

[@jessemeyer445]

I got something saying I won something from your channel my luck it's a fake since I never win anything LoL can you please let me know if someone is playing with me
