[@Octo-Genius]

Honestly surprised we haven't gotten a Ver.Ka or RG of this guy yet. One of the coolest gundam designs.

[@endymion6165]

i would love to see this guy in RG

[@j.s8660]

Well endless waltz designs are basically ver.ka so...

[@MrFierygrave]

@@j.s8660 This guy doesn't show up in endless walts so its hard to say if its actually a Ver ka or just a redesign by someone else

[@mechalinkergaming7169]

@@MrFierygrave Glory of Losers is considered Endless Waltz. Katoki slightly redesigned this.

[@papafoundry5537]

@@j.s8660 well I want a Ver Ka Ver Ka but the Epyon has demon wings hehe

[@steel749]

You forgot to mention that you can pull out the wings a bit and they spread out in a "attack mode"

[@YiminyCricket]

When he said "Master Grade Virsago" my heart jumped, hoping that it was coming, but then...

[@reloadreload8723]

That would be insane my man. But knowing Bandai they tend to focus on promotional kits for their new shows than revisit an old one. 🙄

[@floofiekun1875]

The Epyon is just so freakin cool. I remember fighting against it in Gundam Wing Endless Duel and the music that played during the fight was absolutely SICK

[@M0HAK0]

Gundam Epyon is so damn cool! Glad im not the pnly one who has memories of it from endless duel as well!! Tower music is very nice track!!!

[@matthewjoyner1595]

Mecha Gaikotsu is the reason I started building gunpla almost a year ago and the Epyon was my first Master Grade. Such an awesome kit!

[@coltonmason8290]

It was mine too. Just ordered another Epyon to paint this time.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

FINALLY some justice for this kit after Jobby's not that bad review of it. Fun fact- this is the first Gunpla that Jobby ever built and painted

[@inotg13nn20]

Oh wow i never knew that

[@kevindeluna2040]

I seen jobby review on mg epyon from what he said about the beam sword. And he broke beam sword by doing the swviel.

[@DarkROSkull013]

I'm curious. Have you seen rrobbert's review of this?

[@Vierra_Photo]

Too bad, he probably won't be reviewing the gundam anymore...

[@bewitchedk]

@@Vierra_Photo kinda sad, i guess he doesn't enjoy building gunpla as he used to

[@coltonmason8290]

This was my first MG and I just ordered another to do some custom painting now that I'm more experienced. I wanted to add a couple notes to your review. The wings have a folding mechanism that expose its thrusters which looks amazing! The spikes on the legs are very very easy to break and pop off. And the armor plates on the skirt pop off constantly but a little glue fixes them easily. It's an AMAZING kit and fun build. The dark plastic does discolor the nubs easier if your not careful while nipping. I highly recommend this kit

[@Death_true]

I got back into building gunpla because of mecha and hearing he’s gonna review this one gave me the idea to make a diorama of eypon vs wing zero ver.ka

[@erichollis9233]

DO IT!!! I still need to build Proto Zero!

[@Jhayzer021]

"And its name is Epyon" one of the best episode in the series.

[@Simon-hz7jl]

Sir Mecha sure is on a premiere spree lately. Cannot wait for the premiere of RG RX-78-2, hopefully.

[@Lavos2007]

also Mecha Gaikotsu thanks for all the model kit videos..ive got such a gigantic backlog of MG kits to buy even some like the Sword Impulse Gundam which go back to like 2007

[@Kazaken667]

Got this baby on ice. Waiting until I get my paint game down.

[@Zertemis]

Same I got a wing Verka but I will train with the 8ms RX 79 g

[@DerrickUltima]

I've been binging your MG Wing reviews all day. Imagine my delight when I realized that you posted this a mere 5 hours ago lol

[@fishpop]

Kinda funny that this review goes live the same day as the episode of SD World Heroes where Nobunaga Epyon makes his proper debut. And a cool debut it was, at least when he went into combat.

[@Rich_P_Anya]

That is definitely odd...

[@kronniks33]

Kinda nice to see you review this kit, it was my first mg, and mg wing zero custom ver ka was my second mg, so its a nice match on my self

[@arionischambers3793]

This was my first MG kit, and my personal favourite of the WING series as a kid. Love it.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

Heero- wanna trade Gundams Zechs- yes I do. Trades gundams

[@rx-93nugundam20]

[@jingakaminokiba8571]

this is what i've wanted to see you revieWING it

[@epyon542]

Ayyy, happy to see one of my favorite suits is a good kit. I've had this in my backlog since like October and I really need to get around to it.

[@possumlodge5368]

Just finished building mine a few days ago. Great kit for fans of the Wing and EW models.

[@athenalabonte7213]

I live to hear Gaikotsu say “vigorous” total hype!

[@Rich_P_Anya]

Why?

[@666styxxx666]

I've had the epyon for years ( 1st graded ew kit I built followed by deathscyth ) while admittedly those leg spikes are prone to falling out " easily glued ) still a brilliant kit with details you need to see as pictures seem to hide them ( the original kit had more panel lines but less color separation ) I might get another just for posing in flight mode

[@rizdiramadhan1641]

Remember how I was surprised when this kit was released back then, requesting an order immediately and building a month later just to realize what a fantastic design Epyon EW was.

[@Project_Trainliens]

I'm just surprised he's reviewing a kit I have myself!

[@sh3_hates_n0a50]

Just wondering how old are u

[@MrMattogreen25]

How few kits do you have???

[@rhoodz101]

Love these retro gunpla reviews!!

[@samdiaz2911]

I love Epyon such an elegant name for an equally brutal and beautiful machine the os is a sugary masterpiece as well.

[@muisverriet]

This was my first Master Grade. There's quite a few broken parts and uncleaned nubs but i still love it.

[@werebear76]

Finally, some love for Epyon. I cant find to many people building him. Hes awsome. Second to Deathscythe, he's my favorite. Thanks for the review

[@hafizizudin3645]

Oh damn...i been waiting for this review 🥲... thanks mecha

[@eaglerrf1970]

Just finished building this kit 10 minutes ago. I got it for Christmas and it was quite fun go build while in quarantine

[@juancarlosmarquez7231]

Ah, the MG Epyon, one of those venerable kits that made it to Syd's Top 5 Master Grades

[@SpartanA128]

I've always loved the design of the epyon it looks amazing, I recently got the hg gundam and zaku 2 revive, hopefully I can get a good master grade, maybe this one

[@zephusone1845]

You can also pull the wings down to spread a little. One of my favorite gunpla kit. Hope they will release a RG for this.

[@AUniqueBot]

The Epyon would benefit from having a wire running through the heat rod. A good test to see if a rod or a bendable object is strong enough to hold its shape would be to use its weakest version, make it straight, and hang it by its end parallel to the ground. It's also heavy so any arm you attach it on will drop

[@MasterMarik]

Easily one of my favorite Gundams and favorite kits. Kinda sad to see you only ranked it gold tier, but I still love it. Curious though if you have a list of what you consider to be Gundarium tiers or any of the others somewhere.

[@exianeofrontier6468]

Until now mecha gaikotsu already review three of the kit that i have,hg gundam vidar,hg guneam barbatos 6th form and gundam astaroth.

[@GundamNovice]

Epyon was my first master grade and fell in love ever since

[@eliasfajardo6148]

That is for giving me a birthday party. I'll try to get another gunpla this year. Still deciding on which one.

[@rucky1419]

Particularly looking forward to this one!

[@dylanrebollosa345]

My first ever MG kit, I enjoyed every single bit of bit!

[@freakshow5355]

My very very first ever mg I need to order some replacement parts to fix it up here and there but still brings back a lot of memories

[@Slabri]

This was one of the first mg kits i built. It still is one of my favorites.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

This great and iconic Gundam deserves a 2.0 version, as well as a Ver. Ka!

[@christin5532]

Because of you Mecha, I'm able to choose which gunpla I'm going to buy next. Seriously, i don't know much about the gundam series. And I'm heavily relying on your tier system. If it is gold, platinum or gundarium tier. It will be on my top priority. Thank you Mecha 🙏👌

[@morgannorris2516]

I’ve seen the mobile suit before but wasn’t really interested in it until I watched this video and I’m definitely wanting epyon now

[@halfbloodrascal6712]

Yes Virsago and Astaroth are going to be nice MG kits.

[@Scorpion-iy2nt]

Mecha I’ve got some good news gfor you.The master grade Gundam 00 Gundam Vitue and Gundam Nadleeh are coming this November.

[@stevenmcmasters7212]

I just got this one to go in to a three gundam set. It will include the wing zero ew ver ka, the epyon ew and the supernova version of the deathscythe hell ew. The angel, the dragon, and the reaper. I think a group shot in some bad ass poses will look so sick.

[@jegt3382]

The wings do tend to loosen overtime, but if you press the wing joints tight enough, it will stay in position. Mine been holding a pose with open spread wings since December. In fact, I haven't touched it for months that its already too dusty.

[@PanjulKrenz469]

This Gundam was lit. It's my brother favorite when playing Dynasty Warrior Gundam 2

[@jeiku_balmung_iraisan]

I will always love the epyon, I hope we see a full release of white epyon from frozen teardrop, I’d personally swap his beam trident with this epyon’s beam sword XD

[@Firewolfslayer]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING

[@arrowodd7695]

Got two of these I'm going to kitbash the weapons and wings together

[@Zephyrs009]

"if Master Grade Virsago came out maybe, but I have the feeling it won't" Fuck man, you don't gotta stab me with the fact Gundam X isn't that popular.

[@BornToPeeForcedToDrinkIt]

We never even got the X Divider, let alone the Airmaster or Leopard. I wish more people knew about X, it's a fantastic series.

[@Zephyrs009]

[@Jhayzer021]

If only GundamInfo added the Gundam X on their playlist, many gunpla newbie enthusiast can watch it.

[@blazinglion018]

You should totally review the Zero Gravity Judge Gundam!

[@guerothepail3526]

It should be mentioned. If you don't extend the heat hawk sections and try to bend it you'll wrench off the joints pretty easily.

[@Demoncradle]

I got the gundam base limited shiny version of this and it looks awesome. I almost wish I got the regular Mg… it was the most stressful build ever due to the coating making cutting off the gates tricky. removing the nubs without scratching it more was a headache. Still one of the best looking models out there though

[@Akunza]

When I was putting together this the left thumb went flying into the abyss of my cluttered room lost for all time! Wish they sold parts for these!!!

[@reijoshualadjahasan]

It's the first time I heard someone say that the epyon didn't look that great. Glad you changed your mind

[@OnFaithStainedEyes]

This is my first Gunpla kit. Had it since May 2020. Looks great but not immune to some problems. Here are some I had: -"Ear" part loves falling off just the moment you touch it -Exhaust system on the arms falling off when you move the arms too much -The white part that covers the search eye already softened and broke off -The front fins on the legs have already loosened Also broke the beam saber hilt but that's on me probably LOL Still love this kit though. Glad MG decided to finally give it the most decent review that it deserves.

[@scorpionvenom27]

The search eye and vent below makes it look like it has a zaku head on its chest, and once you see the zaku, you can't unsee the zaku

[@AmuroRae]

I just watched this for the second time, and honestly it just made me want to get another Epyon kit to do a custom paint job on... I clearly have a gunpla problem.

[@c.m.sedwardlee-agustin8757]

PERFECT, i have this coming in from taiwan thank you mecha

[@zogunsteel0453]

YES FINALLY! THANK YOU!

[@Zertemis]

The those knob marks ahhhhhhhh It gives me nightmares. Love the Zaku II.

[@Angel-jd7df]

Really hope we end up getting a glory of losers version with it's extra equipment like shenlong heavyarms etc have gotten

[@boost3821]

That kit was where Jobby did review the Epyon EW after he bought that kit back from 2014.

[@austinhall6002]

I hope we'll get a Master Grade of the original anime version because I actually like both designs along with Wing Zero's original anime design. I'm not counting Proto Wing Zero as its original design because it's shoulders are slightly different(less blue on Proto compared to original anime design) and the fins on the shield are shorter as well on the original anime design. Plus I'd actually want to try to recreate the Beam Saber/ Sword clash they had in space where Wing Zero's Beam Saber was deflected by Epyon's shield and Beam Sword. You know where the clash was so close to Epyon's head that the shine from the beams were reflecting off of its face.

[@justinejugo9867]

If you can, I would highly recommend the MG wing Gundam Proto Zero. One of my favorite MG’s of all time.

[@wenttogogetvexmilk9562]

The Epyon honestly looks like a cross between the wing and the master Gundam

[@roexrn4257]

Just by the look of this thing adding it to my list

[@RiskPlays]

There is actually a White Epyon in the Manga piloted by Wu Fei. He uses his Beam Trident instead.

[@austinhall6002]

And it has its own Dragon Fang made from a spare leg of Epyon

[@Henrex2000]

Not manga, it's in the Frozen Teardrops novel

[@TheDarkestPhoenix]

I adore the Epyon, it's such a cool design. I do feel like the MG does it justice. I have to wonder, though, did it just not sell well? It seems like this suit gets ignored pretty often when it comes to new kits. We still don't have a RG version, and I don't think there is a recent 1/144 scale. Might be an older kit, I do know there is some ungraded kits floating around...

[@bootlegfiguresyt6802]

Prepare a double tape,my mine was really old,hands fells off easily,loose skirt armor and wing joint,and last superglue the wing of the legs...but still worth every penny since it's the only good looking Epyon

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

I wonder how this would look with a Master Gundam paint scheme, it has a similar silhouette (and it certainly looks more poseable than any version of the Master Gundam that I've seen XD)

[@MusicFan752]

I have wing proto zero, I still need to get epyon. And I still wish Bandai will green light a freaking RG gundam epyon already!

[@redwardranger7034]
