This looks more like something out of Build Fighters than something that actually existed in the Cosmic Era timeline. Especially when it has 2 giant swords that weren't part of the original design that have almost no color separation despite having a lot of detail.

[@LuoSon312_G8]

oddly enough, it's not that far off. pilot customization was ver basic, but it got wild as soon as the Alliance got ahold of their own MS production, and in response ZAFT went wild as well.

[@Matanumi]

Yeah easy to say with any CE design after build fighters became a thing.... Lord astray, Ginn gladiator, Aile calamity. Shit even the Eclipse itself looks nothing like anything from CE

[@justan324]

Heck those cones on the backpack could even be gn drive taus if you squint

[@LuoSon312_G8]

@@justan324 they're the thrusters on the Meteor units used by the Freedom and Justice. so technically they didn't copy it from 00, they just kit bashed. hardcore

[@borgar1765]

nah, that sounds about right for SEED

[@Matanumi]

I love these they really give cosmic era designs a new flaire

[@viperson9818]

I absolutely enjoy building the seed zaft grunts MG, can't wait to receive my copy of the Ginn Gladiator.

[@CoTroll]

Waiting on mine to arrive, looks awesome!

[@TheMattTrakker]

The color scheme is why I picked this one up. I like to have a few kits that'll stand out and this one will as long as I don't put it with any thing Char related.

[@dr.bright6272]

I'm liking the look of that sword

[@vustvaleo8068]

those two swords would also be right at home in the IBO universe, lol.

[@mzmm4186]

The color separation, especially on the new front skirts, is amazing. The injection silver actually made it look like brushed aluminum, I like it.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

The new skirts make me wish this kit had more white armor with bright red detailing like they do

[@Is_Noah_Ok]

LETS GOOOOOOO MY FAVORITE VERSION OF THE GINN

[@Matanumi]

Yea with a hot pliot to boot

[@lobounleashed2532]

It could just be me, but I feel like a little bit of gold panel lining/added detailing would look great, especially on the red armor parts

[@dorky2958]

Mecha how's your collection's situation? i can't imagine with now the backlog series is on its 3rd iterations is your space now become plastics sanctuary? how you're managing that?

[@michaelfuller7635]

Hey, mecha do you think mgs and pgs are being fazed out for rgs and hgs? I mean when's the last we saw a pg? And mgs are few a far in between now coming. The focus seems to me on rgs. Which in my opinion are mini mgs and making hgs the bomb now. I really love my mgs because I have Xtra large hands and handling hgs and God forbid a rg terrifies me! I guess as long as we get a barbie lupas mg and a g self mg I will love though.

[@pauljordan0203]

the Beaks Dagger reminds me of the energy sword from the Halo franchise, given the aspects of it's design.

[@Remyinajar]

This kind of looks more like a custom ginn high mobility type than a standard ginn, which is kind of cool actually.

[@pugwash1]

the one thing that I like about this kit are the parts that hint to the ginn high maneuver type look at the front skirt and the backpack very high maneuver type inspired

[@SOBERABSORBER]

I hope High Maneuver and Insurgents type are next on the line.

[@pugwash1]

@@SOBERABSORBER the insurgents type is basically he stanared ginn but with a diffrencolor thats all it is

[@NeedABlessing]

Can easily be customised as Yoshimitsu with a black and neon green paint job.

[@RYUSHIR0]

Nice review as per usual, also i would like to ask what would you like to see as a Ver.Ka since we will get an announcement on the 29th... to me Destiny, Exia, Astray, G-self, Stargazer or Epyon all would be great Ver.Ka for me... some because they're my favorites, some because we don't have them, and some would be nice since they need a 2.0 or Ver.ka.

[@nguyenleucduong3446]

Katoki don't usually design suit from other universe than UC and AC so we just have to wait

[@orionparish9858]

@@nguyenleucduong3446 There's a ton of UC mobile suits that need a 2.0. Why not make one a Ver Ka.

[@tristain0]

G-self is probably the most closest to having one as others were not designed by him except Epyon but we already had a ver. ka of that through the EW line.

[@muhammadwibisonojanuar7793]

The Gladiator uses configurations from High Maneuver Type for most, so it is highly mobile

[@Arithhh]

Damn this was a quick recommendation

[@Me_when650]

so you used a part separator to part separate the part separator segment for storing the part seperator well that's alot of part seperating

[@kingbarrythegreat]

am in love with this variant and its gear would tots use this as base for own unit for build fighters universe/metaverse replacing bits of the backpack with 00 series gundam bits

[@Samudra-qm9dw]

Ginn with twin crucible sword

[@bizarrion]

4:44 man mecha is trying so hard to forget about that aegis review

[@SamuraiShisou]

watching this video really made me want one

[@Roadcrashroller]

Fun fact: this is my first p-bandai and I built this without building any of the seed grunt mg

[@modelmanjohn]

Wait, are those 2 GN drives??

[@nontatsutham6625]

How did he don’t mention the gun drives on the backpack

[@agusrze2230]

good looking suit

[@israelcintroniii7610]

This looks like some mixed the Ginn with a zaku

[@PorktatoesSSRB]

Im gonna guess Bandai is gonna use the Gladiator's Mold to release the High Manuver GINN

[@MechaGaikotsu]

With that backpack I wouldn't be surprised at all

[@thedandy6765]

Sword looks alot like megatrons sword from the last knight

[@zulhaidaryudha1471]

Char's Ginn isnt real he cant hurt you Char's Ginn:

[@ez8-frame942]

This Ginn and the Calamity aile looks like it came from build series than seed

[@MechaGaikotsu]

All the eclipse designs look build to me. Even the eclipse looks like an upgrade to the Build Strike Cosmos.

[@blase8758]

mecha is cool ive been trying to get a mg for so long but struggling with money, love the reviews keep it up buddy!

[@Sazabi4prez]

Sazabi was like distorting itself to fit in the frame, it looked painful

[@MechaGaikotsu]

That's what gravity has done to it over the past few years 😅

[@SlowpokeSpartan]

This really makes me excited for a potential master grade Ginn high mobility type

[@Darkai.76]

Could you do the hg arios

[@bootlegyoumufumo4632]

Those 2 GN Drive Tau behind the canon's crazy and I like that

[@ogbreadfish6212]

I was genuinely disappointed when i built my MG Ginn, the kit is 100% polystyrene (no poly caps!) and didnt feel like i was building a master grade. Overall felt very under engineered like they just wanted to push a grunt suit out as fast as possible.

[@Krakiolit]

Poly caps have a tendency to loosen up, Bandai have been moving towards getting rid of those outside of HGs for some time now. Was the Ginn your first master grade?

[@ogbreadfish6212]

@@Krakiolit I’ve only ever built master grades, my first kit was the v.3 rx-78-2. The ginn was around the 9th mg I built. I thought all of the other seed kits that I built up to that point (freedom, justice, strike v.rm, and aegis) were phenomenal kits and the ginn lacked that feel I got from those. It’s also an extremely stiff kit and while posing it is difficult to make small adjustments. ABS is also a good joint material IMO but there was none of that in the ginn.

[@Mugen10]

i cant, i get mine in a few days

[@mjuneoginn]

@05:07 Ad Erratum though - it's a Heavy Machine Gun, not a Beam Rifle; respectively... * Why u no compare GINN Gladiator to your MG Aegis Gundam😭

[@JTruong3rd]

No matter what people will say. The Ginn Gladiator looks more like something from a build story than from the seed universe to me.

[@corvus9359]

Oh damn, didn't realize someone already beat me to it.

[@MusicFan752]

Agreed.

[@coolnamesurnameson2525]

not just this GINN imo, so far everything from Eclipse has that vibe, and idk how to feel about that. on one hand, SEED isn't exactly known for its consistency in its mecha design (tho it does still produce absolute banger designs), but these machines so far feel even more out of place, and i just can't seem to place specifically why

[@Matanumi]

@@coolnamesurnameson2525 not only seed ecplise but princess of the sky as well

[@coolnamesurnameson2525]

@@Matanumi i hear ya man, those Astrays, especially that white Gold Frame are hella wack, but damn do i have a lot of love for the Lord Astrays

[@stup1dturtl310]

That's a Master grade?

[@Ryhillchibulls]

I support all red kits!

[@geminas5044]

first Gusion Rebake Full City's Giant Nippers, now the Ginn Gladiator's Part Separator.... what's next Bandai? 🤣

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Giant robot with giant sanding sticks

[@jobymanuel1353]

This reminds me of kamen rider accel

[@liamtheheroicgundamwarrior9752]

This model’s big swords remind me of the Armorslayer sword from the Fire Emblem games!

[@Ryhillchibulls]

Like the video

[@alifajri578]

Premium bandai = basically kit not really popular in anime, but sell more expensive, cause the stock is less

[@MechaGaikotsu]

They're only expensive because of resellers. The actual Bandai price are really fair. If you live in Japan.

[@x-david-x1768]

Yo

[@CanonicalBomb]

U said gm

[@weopenest23]

Yo, has this model been eaten? I remeber the others from the show having a bit more... gurth. Maybe he is relapsing from his wife taking the kids.. Or remembering his great uncle Hurricane gundam going off to a distant voyage... Never to have returned. I believe are prayers are in order, rember to give thanks the Jesus-Yamoto.

First!

[@Rice_sama]

Plz be more critical

[@Saved_Sinner0085]

Man this kit is ugly. It sat on P-Bandai for over a month before it sold out. It looks less like a "real robot" and more like a kid's super robot design.
