MG 1/100 Gundam Virtue Review | MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 00

[@disappointmentprobably7871]

There is a part on the the ankles of Gundam Nadleeh you can flip out that will secure the leg armour and prevent them from rattling

[@WamuroRiXi08]

i believe this method is found by a chinese guy , this tip really helps out

[@kyousakee]

To remove the wobble on the leg armors. flip out the gray pegs at the ankles of Nadleeh (where the dynames / exia ankle armors normally are) and align them to the rectanglular holes in the armor. :)

[@battleemu3923]

Thank you!

[@K41-g6p]

nadleeh doesn't seem much, but then you realise it normally goes out wearing armor thats over twice its weight and still being more agile than 00 season 1 non gn mobile suits

[@setsunaseiei7862]

In universe, it's because of GN particles

[@jasonex4027]

I was all in for the bulky boy, but the Nadleeh looks honestly good and fresh. Wasn't expecting to like both so so much. I still have dozens of HGs and RGs to build but I guess two of this boxes won't harm... *rolling eyes*

[@victoryzero1020]

It followed Master Roshi’s advice

[@biostar15]

The Virtue is actually lighter than both the Flag and Enact. The GN particles make it weigh less than it's actually supposed to. It's mentioned in supplementary materials that CB often brings the Gundams back up into space using the orbital elevator. The Gundams are marked as construction materials and the weight-reducing properties of GN particles help them bypass the cargo weight checks.

[@Damienov]

also, Virtue never landed on Earth and in space, aerodynamics doesn't matter. As long as you have a monster propulsion system (the GN Drive) It should perform way better than the "traditional" non GN Drive MS in space. On Earth.... It's moving a Rock at best

[@gleirb3670]

Coming from experience, I am expecting to see a lot of people going crazy for the clear version. I would love to see the clear armor on a standard nadleeh, more so if they do make an armor-purging stand.

[@jaypeadieL611]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Youre giving bandai more ideas to take our wallets. Continue

[@ryanhoo6721]

I'm really hope that Bandai can come out with an armor purging stand.

[@jayzac9298]

and guess what...? It's gonna be P-BANDAI!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@illhumpy8696]

Yes

[@jameshudson7709]

I don’t see the hype over clear kits could someone please explain to me what entices you to buy a clear kit

[@thelaw_00]

Clear Virtue armor with regular Nadleeh inside would be insane!

[@paolocasilag5942]

True even the sandwich style amor in the white par shoul be clear too

[@EdwinPohan]

Nobody would expect chunky kits to outpose slimmer ones but Virtue here is probably as good as it gets without being absurdly flexible. I do think it deserves both the Platinum and Gundarium tier.

[@DanteTheEgregore]

Preordered this kit back in May of last year (I think?) and built it like a month ago. He's still on my desk rather than my display shelves just because I love playing with him so much. I did end up cementing the trigger assembly to the hand because it was a pain in the ass getting him to hold the GN Bazooka. That being said, I L O V E my chunky boi.

[@Almighty_Mage]

Damn it. I had stopped building model kits some time ago, but I had always wanted a proper MG Virtue/Nadleeh. To make matters worse, I already have Dynames and Kyrios so I might be locked into buying this despite having nowhere to display it.

[@donu-donu3075]

It’s kind of funny that this video came out on my birthday! Kind of another birthday present if you ask me! Keep up the good work, your videos got me into gunpla, and it always makes me happy to see them

[@JudgeBasch]

Happy Birthday!

[@vustvaleo8068]

concept-wise Virtue's transformation into Nadleeh is like how the Penelope became the Gundam Odysseus when its Fixed Flight Unit is removed.

[@TRD6932]

Except the FF unit can act like its own. When Virtue purges its armor, it's gone for good. I just wonder, how does CB recover Virtue's armor after it is purged? Or do they have spares?

[@potatopc9410]

​@@TRD6932I think they sent team to retrieve virtue's armor

[@Serom_974]

@@TRD6932 What is great is that at the end of the Virtue evolution line, the Raphael Dominion gundam is 2 gundams, one is the main MS while the other is the armor that can be purged to make a second unit

[@cantthinkofagoodusername5845]

There's an ARMOR DISPLAY with stand KIT. It has tons of parts to simulate the armor ejecting (sort of?) off of Virtue and reveals Nadleeh inside. It's a pretty cool thing to have if you guys bought this MG Kit.

[@Blackcloud288]

Once that armor-purge stand is released, I'm gonna buy this big boy.

[@paolocasilag5942]

Same, i actually bought the kit waiting fo r the purge armor to be released not included the kit since its so expensive

[@NeoSlashott]

Did enjoyed the double review. 🤩 Made my day with the weight comparisons, had a good laugh. hah Just like MG Alex and Duel Assault Shroud, This Virtue kit adds to a nice MG Chonk collection.. and hopefully MG Gusion will be coming next. lol

[@ftnhungpiano]

I have the Duel Assault Shroud and it’s nowhere near a chonk. 106g without armour / 163g with it. It’s not even that much heavier than the 154g Aegis. (Yes I weigh my model kits lol)

[@BattleManiac7]

This really makes me wish that 00 season 2 Gundams will get MGs too one day. The upgrade to virtue, Seravee is up there with Virtue as one of my fav chunky bois and is my fav mobile suit to come out of season 2. HG Seravee also hopds a place in my heart for the first kit I built to get back into gunpla after years of being out of the hobbie.

[@Serom_974]

having a MG Seravee would be mind blowing, considering we would also get the Seraphim with a complete transformation

[@owenbas]

Another candidate for the weigh off would be the MG FAZZ Ver.Ka. It gotta have some chonk in there worthy of the weigh off.

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeee29]

I think the backpack arms are assembled incorrectly. I'm pretty sure the shoulder cannons should be beside the shoulder armour and not positioned at the back of the Virtue

[@damn1580]

13:37 Dang, now that's a teaser Waiting for that Dynames R3 review, Mecha

[@nekodegozaru951]

The rattling of the Virtue's leg armor is because it wasn't attached properly. Nadleeh's would be ankle armor are actually tabs which slots to the front part of Virtue's armor.

[@MrJlink25]

A year later and no sign of season 2 OO MGs......

[@jesrelmanarang5371]

I have been watching your videos for years now and your content is only getting better. Not only your videos but quality of your builds! Especially since you post often compared to other gunpla channels.

[@Kaigame1]

MG Virtue on the way, can't wait to build it, considering a paintjob, 1/100 NG Seravee was my first Gunpla paint job, looks awesome in black, Virtue would too. Still miffed about the high postage prices from HLJ though. And as always.... awesome review!!!

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Paint it black and call it Gundam Vice 😁

[@Kaigame1]

@@MechaGaikotsu that's epic!! will do!

[@CharloBagis]

The Gundam weight should be a standard part of your reviews, didn't expect the Sazabi to weigh half a kilo 😁 Thanks for the review Mecha 👍

[@ToddMa09]

The one thing missing is an included action base. If you drop $100 on a kit they should throw in a stand up display it on in my opinion. Seems like a great kit though and I can't wait for mine to get in!

[@androyus]

Gaikotsu, you missed a *big* chance of comparing Virtue's weight with FAZZ! How can you not compare those two THICC boys??!! 😤

[@the8wave]

When you started talking about a “weigh off” I instantly just started saying “Sazabi… weigh the Sazabi!”. The guy is a beast. But I think the Psycho Zaku ver. Ka probably outweighs even him… with the tanks of course.

[@gridman887]

bro, my face when the nadelee weighs 92 grams making the armor alone come around to around 200 grams

[@jasonex4027]

So it is actually that good. I like this MS so much and was so disappointed at the HG of it... mainly because those stickers suck balls, and if it wasn't going to be able to move much, at least make it really appealing to the eye (no need to remember you that the Age-1 Normal is also a HG and it plays in a whole different league)... but no, it was simple, had almost no detail, felt lazy in design and it honestly still looks cheap (I was planning on painting the whole kit, but not anymore). Bandai seems not to be able to pull out chunky robots without something feeling/looking wrong there- but damn boy, lately... I've been eating my words and I cannot wait for this to be built. I'm still hungry, so Bandai keep proving me wrong please. PS: And I always loved the Virtue, but now it seems like I might want both of them displayed...

[@latikamen2546]

Next MG Astraea type F for this channel to review

[@NimbusCumulus]

MG, you should have weighed the Virtue with its bazooka as well to get the total weight with its weapon, like the others. Talking of the bazooka, why did Bandai make it dark blue rather than black, like the no-grade?

[@ftnhungpiano]

The design was intended to be blue, as shown on the painted version of the nograde’s manual. Bandai cut corners with the no grade by making them all black.

[@NimbusCumulus]

@@ftnhungpiano Ah, ok. I do think it looks better in black - it would then match Virtue’s armour and it would also match how it looks in the anime.

[@bjs854]

We need some kind of effect kit to make Nadleeh look like it’s shedding its Virtue armor!🤩

[@paolocasilag5942]

Ikr like from the anime one tbh i cant build mine due to many backlog kits im in progress finishing my sword impulse i actually wait at this moment for the purge armor stand

[@mr.vintage4723]

is it weird that I think the nadleeh could easily be turned into an exia... exia MG 2.0 comin soon pls

[@paolocasilag5942]

I want to buy the 2.0 one since the ig one is so meh cause of the polycaps

[@patrickleslie9932]

There’s a flip out tab near the front of the ankle the helps secure the leg armor and prevent the rattle noise.

[@barrybend7189]

Wish we could get a revive of the HG to do this.

Definitely could see virtue being part of the gundam universe line

[@TheGunplaVeteran]

I want pg of all the 00 series gundams

[@veekleek7535]

The weigh off section was fun to watch

[@nitsuga13]

Who is going to panel line the inside of the armor

[@apartizann]

Also aren't the GN Cannon arms on backwards? Aren't they suppose to wrap around the shoulders like the 00?

[@abyssaltenno7318]

The arms are on backwards, you are right

[@StrikeNoir105E]

There's actually no reverse side to the GN Cannon Arms, not in any significant manner anyway. Despite how it appears in lineart, the Virtue's GN Cannons do NOT in fact wrap around the shoulders like the 00 Gundam's GN Drives. They actually hang directly in line with the backpack, as seen in the show itself and the majority of the kits.

[@chaious1040]

I haven't built this kit yet but according to the manual, I think your right OmegaX964, the GN Cannon back pack arms are reversed here, check out the pictures on manual's back cover, Gundam Virtue, Rear View... you clearly see the "L shape" of the back pack arms should be facing forward (not to the back), moving the GN Cannons to be beside, flush with the arms when facing downward... not behind.... minor issue though on another great Mecha build... can't wait to build mine now...

[@noOtherFs]

When you weighed the Virtue compared to the Nadleeh, it reminds me of Tekken's Bob, and his Skinny Bob version

[@domeniccianciola1206]

It is not you Mecha, I see a pixel duck bazooka lol

B'cuz of the solid full pack armor men i thougth this was gundarium tier😢

CAST OFF CHANGE BEETLE

[@freakshow9898]

I think biggest complaint is that I'd want to display both versions. So that would mean I'd have to buy 2. Oh the things we do for our hobbies😁

[@chaious1040]

I wonder, if someone had enough funds and access to all the first season 00 MG Gundams, could you build/ kit bash an 2.0 MG Exia, using the new GN frame from the MG Dynames / Nadleeh and the armor parts from the original MG Exia... or at least just replace the legs of the old MG Exia because that's the biggest issue and problem area on my kit... Maybe this would get Bandai's attention and start them thinking... a new MG Exia 2.0.. (it would probably end up as P-Bandai)

[@wepeworks]

Have this one preordered, sucks how long these take to get to Australia! Cant wait to build it.

[@misbehaven1237]

Ahaha the same with me, I ordered from HLJ and it’d be $43 surface parcel or I think about $150 DHL, and I’m not paying more than the bloody mobile suit just in shipping so I’ll just have to wait 2 months

Ugh just about to get mine in the mail soon. Pre ordered it back in Oct 2021. Now I see that Gundam USA has a Special Virtue stand to display the transformation. But it’s on Pre-order now for 2nd quarter . Wonder when that would be though.

[@Octopolis]

My only gripes with this is that its not fully colour correct: the shoulder cannons should be in grey, one set of the bazooka's "teeth" should be yellow in full burst mode, not blue, and the insides of the yellow extending bazooka sections should be in grey. You can check out the wiki for the pics. All correctable with paint, but, its a MG we're paying for. Just wish it was a bit more accurate to the anime. And those sticker style decals.... why... Other than that, it really does look amazing, hoping to get one asap.

[@ftnhungpiano]

The inside of the shoulder cannons are supposed to be in blue in all paint guides (HG, 1/100 and MG). The yellow teeth of the bazooka is something they can’t reproduce since the blue / white plastic cannot simultaneously hold a sliding mechanism inside while having room to hold the exterior yellow teeth. They omitted the grey inside the bazooka yellow extensons and the two tone colour separation of Nadleeh’ rifle for no reason though.

[@riujithetechnician]

I wonder if they can do spring action armor purging for the PG version of Virtue/Nadleeh in the future

[@GlennKurusu]

Exactly! However, it did receive an extra GN Bazooka near the end of Season 1. Episode 23, I think.
