PSA for those who buy this: This kit comes with the parts you need to make the alternate sword handle (that the Blue Frame revise uses), so don't throw away the extra parts if you want to use the more hilt-looking handle

[@MechaGaikotsu]

You won't regret it!

[@chaosiori]

I really enjoyed build the Astray as one of my second MG after the Dynamos. The only problem I had was, when the joint where the the leg connects to the hip snapped T_T. Looked for a replacement part. I was able to find someone doing metal modes for that specific joint on Ebay. I guess its a common break. If you like to pose you gunpla just be careful with the Astray.

[@josephigo3762]

There's another feature in the Tactical Arms not mentioned in the instructions. If you pull the big blade parts off (carefully, don't break anything), they have a flip-out peg and handle at the bottom. The peg fits in the back of the forearm, and the handle will fit perfectly in the hand, making big tonfa/katar weapons. The runners also had a pair of leftover knives from the Blue Frame. Because this thing needed more blades, of course.

[@FatalPapercuts]

Also to note, the runners include the parts to make the blue frame's tactical arms as well, so you have the choice of the gun barrels and normal handle if you so desire.

[@dragons_hook]

Such a tough choice!

[@keevanalrasyidumar5450]

Is it also comes with blue frame's back as well? Edit: nevermind, it was already there

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

I think that this is the best overall version of the MG Astray Plus the standard Blue Frame

which is the standard version of the Blue Frame?

[@samoraiblack1]

This was my first MG kit, after watching many of your reviews on other versions of the Red Frame Astrays, so thank you! Happy you got around to a review on it

[@kupalhobby]

Aight now that Mecha has reviewed it I'm gonna buy it

[@Altarahhn]

Me: "Mecha will never review the Red Frame Kai." Mecha: "Reviews it" Me: "A Surprise to be sure, but a Welcome one!"

[@PutitoCorner]

You can actually attach the Tactical Arms' blades onto the forearms of the ARF, just like how it's done with the ABF Second Revise's Sword Arm mode (minus the pink beam blade effect part, that is).

[@christiandaniel3714]

YES, FINALLY THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING IT IVE BEEN CRAVING FOR A MODERN REVIEW AND GOD MIGHT HAVE HEARD ME

[@David-uz8wx]

just something to note, the old style action base included in the red frame kai has a longer shaft than normal old style bases

[@randaljr.8581]

tip: for the ab crunch, you can stretch out the torso (like the rg nu) and get one.

[@tamdango]

This was the first MG kit I ever built. It took me a total of 11 straight hours. 😅 I've built several since then including its "twin brother" the Astray Blue Frame Second Revise but man, this one was a real test of patience and learning.

[@purpleenthusiast5814]

what's with new builders and spending ungodly amounts of time on their first mg? I spent a whole day building my Qant as well, to the point of forgetting to eat lunch. Never doing that again though, I felt like shit afterwards.

Hey mecha! Thank you for a bunch of astray reviews. I have astray turn red, bought it on 2018 but never have a chance to build it until this day. Thank you for reviewing a lot of astrays so i could know how the finished kit look like!

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

same, so many extra parts

[@arcadia1104]

All the parts to make the blue frames tactical arms come with the red frame kai so you can make it. Also if you detach the two blade sections of the tactical arms there is a flip out peg at the end so you can mount the blades directly onto the red frames arms, this was a feature of the blue frame and it came with beam effect parts for it

[@TheNazmi98]

Was looking for your review on this kit. The stars have finally aligned.

[@krylancelo23]

It’s your energy. You never take anything too seriously during the review, you allow yourself to mess up and laugh about it, and you knock these builds out. I’m proud of you dude. Thanks for the serotonin ✌️

[@DarkROSkull013]

I used to hate that he kinda feels unserious about the reviews and that he treats the kits more like toys (they are in a sense) and that his reviews are based from that view, until I realized this was what set his reviews apart, and that I could enjoy his take on the kits and still get a review comprehensive enough to help make a decision on my purchases. The goofy energy in his reviews are something else. Hehehe.

[@DaJemmen]

Did a review of this kit i think a year ago, but yours just blows mine out of the water. You really have a really good style of reviewing, mecha! Love your review :)

[@tyronesaurus910]

I just finished building this kit and I say the true main event of this kit is that tactical arms. Feels like the Gundam itself is the accessory. It just looks so intimidating on its own.

[@K0R0_CHAN]

Finally bought my very first MG and this was it, its awesome to say the least i love it, it is my center piece and if i ever get more MGs in the future this will forever be the center piece, its majestic, poses up a storm, highly articulated and built quite sturdy, tho it is a bit of a hand grenade where pieces are falling all the time but not something a little glue cant fix, even without panel linings and the water stickers it still looks very cool, i will put on the stickers some other time cuz i dont really have experience with water stickers and i might mess up my dream gunpla kit finally in my collection hell yeah

[@PineUpAll]

I just bought this but hasn't seen this exact gunpla in your videos, and tomorrow is the shipping day and you released this video yesterday. What a coincidence

[@TheVanillaQueen]

He finally admits the Astray MG isn't silver tier

[@MechaGaikotsu]

I did? Checks mg other MG red frame reviews. One of them literally has the Gold Tier award in the thumbnail.

[@TheVanillaQueen]

@@MechaGaikotsu Pretty sure for the Red Dragon you said something along the lines of "Normally I'd give this silver tier but because of how much it packs I'm giving it gold" I did however forget you gave the Red Frame + Flight Unit gold tier as well so that's also my bad.

[@cupitaiyoob]

The pegs in the legs is probably an inspiration from how katanas are made. If I'm not mistaken, there is a peg that holds the katana's blade and the wooden handle together

[@Aespecter_374]

Retributor Armour and Reikland Fleshshade work really well for gold parts. It creates a worn gold look and looks great on the RG, so I can’t see why it wouldn’t work for anything else

[@BonesAlexander]

I actually got this for my birthday a few days ago and I've finished everything just a few minutes after this comment and I'm happy with out it turned out, with this guy being my first MG it was quite the build. I'm still curious about the extra parts that were left and would love a step by step guide on what to do with them if anyone has it.

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

those are from the Blue Frame revisw

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

those are the foot with blade, tactical arms parts and short knives which you can attach where the two swords attaches

[@stevelee5397]

This is the first mg got me hook back into gunpla again. Thanks for the review.

[@pentomind]

I found out that panel-lining the gold parts and cleaning them by rubbing a finger on it makes them look WAY better and a lot less cheap ('quite like the painted version) ! Also it makes the sculpting pop more. You also forgot to mention that the extending part of the Action Base is specific to this kit and longer than the one that comes with the usual AB (the standard one is also included).

[@gjo79000]

Will say: on mine at least, the legs are a little looser than ideal because of the weird polycap like peg things. It's not loose enough to be a problem, but it is looser than your average mg
