The "skip ad" sticker in the corner during the neo zeong segment was a nice touch

[@KaseyWynne]

This kit shows what I like about Bandai. They clearly lead the field in model kit engineering, but they still try to push themselves to innovate, with the black plastic here, or the transforming RG unicorn.

[@bryanmerel]

Now i'm Excited for MG Barbatos, wich, unless there is an important issue about it, i will never watch any review untill i built it my self.

[@CheeseandCrackers234]

Totally. That's what I did with the RG Nu. I didn't watch any reviews until I had built it myself. Was not disappointed.

[@spiddoodle]

the Gunner Wizard energy tank's shape is often being compared to a Tenga by several people.

I like how you gave tenga a capital T.

[@PatVX1]

Really fond of the aesthetic. I'm a sucker for most stuff in Destiny, and I LOVE how this kit takes the Zaku design from Destiny and gives it a bit more detail on it's armour. REALLY hoping they do something like this for the Gouf Ignited from Destiny one day, as while I adore that MS, it's armour comes off as a little plain to me.

[@neopada9091]

The redesign looks great. Bring out a bit of 40K feel to it. Especially the big gun.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

Just a note: The "Gunner Wizard" is actually the weapon + backpack + energy tank, referring to the whole set much like how the Striker packs are called, e.g. "Launcher Striker", because "Wizard" in this case refers to the interchangeable backpack system for the Zaku Warrior. The actual cannon itself is called the M1500 Orthros. It's an important distinction to note especially if they make more MG Zaku Warrior variants down the line, like the Blaze Zaku Warrior with the Blaze Wizard pack and the Slash Zaku Warrior with the Slash Wizard pack.

[@akimmohd946]

There also Zaku Phantom variants. Guess the rest will be p-bandai.

Never watched seed but I’ll buy it!

[@ernesielta]

Gundam seed and seed destiny watch it at your own pleasure. My opinion needs a massive rework

[@holden_7597]

Seed was a modernized version of the original Mobile Suit Gundam. It’s not the worst Gundam show ever, it’s still better than Wing. Destiny is the Zeta modernization. It takes all of the negative aspects of Seed and turns them up by five. It reuses animation very frequently, and the characters are written way worse.

[@martinusleonardo6933]

Good review 👍 As for the MG, it is solid. The proportion is good. The color nice as well as the details. Personally, I like the grunt suit from Zeon esp Zaku series so this will be my next target. Aside from the divided opinion about the series and universe, Zaku from seed series is a good one. It will be nice if Bandai decide to make MG for Geara Zulu☺️

[@prince_8159]

I just built this exact kit yesterday and it's my first master grade kit and it's actually fun to build and I'm not entirely done yet because I'm waiting for the waterslide decals to arrive so I can work with the details and also panel line it

[@ShesCuteButReallyDumb]

I think the gunner wizard looks really cool honestly, I feel like once it's all together it looks damn imposing on the mobile suit even with it's building and posing flaws.

[@clovissilva8421]

To fix the wizzard you can clean it and paint the recessed details to break the colour a litle bit, also I used putty to fill the handle, painted it with a gundam marker and glued the wire.

That zaku does look cool specially the red black and white on that kit

[@Jack-kc2fb]

good trick for decals on curved surface's, get a lighter and quickly run it past the sticker, it'll melt slightly and hug the surface better. easy to screw up, but with some softner/setter it's a good trick if you don't want to spring for dry transfers/water slides.

[@jak-crow]

In the SEED Destiny anime the machine gun and heat hawk look the same as the UC versions, but the gun is a beam rifle and the magazines are e-caps instead. They've been redesigned for the model kit. The main gun is called a "wizard" because it's part of a bunch of different weapons packs for the Destiny Zakus, like the Strike's striker packs or the Impulse's silhouette packs.

[@colonelgubitz5916]

So, wizard just refers to the backpack, like striker packs. So, this is the gunner wizard pack and we'll probably see the other packs (slash, blaze) in P-Bandai. But I don't think the actual gun is called a "wizard," per se.

[@TheEvilwisdom]

Daaamn, I didn't remember it looking that good in the anime!

[@MiriaJiyuu]

That's because it didn't. The model kit looks 10x better XD. If they do Yzaks custom Zaku or Rey's Blaze Zaku Phantom I might grab one. Was never a fan of the giant foldable long guns Zaft was so fond of.

8:20 A little matte top coat on the tips should make the varnish tube stay better

[@hinacn8426]

9:38 Phenex: Crap, that’s too cute to kill

[@duelgundam]

The hands make a LITTLE sense when you remember that, unlike the late UC Mobile suits, CE Mobile suits still have different hand plugs for their weapons in-universe, depending on your faction. As ORB built the first GAT-X units, their parts are compatible, but the M1 Astray's weapons are incompatible with, let's say: the Strike. This is the same IU excuse on why the Duel didn't use a newly designed rifle after getting the Assault Shroud. Eg. A Strike Dagger COULD still a GiNN's Machine Gun, but no targeting system(basically firing blind). But a GiNN can't use a Dagger's beam rifle(no targeting system, and no connection to the power pack).

[@Ton_D_Chicken]

Okay, Bandai... You've given us the Gunner Zaku, now... Give give the Slash Zaku Phantom, Gouf Ignited, and Dom Trooper. Please!!!😭😭😭

I saw a zaku review where you need tweezers to take off the out lining from the stickers

[@monstertoaster]

So the “wizard” name refers to the backpack system. The zakus have different pack packs. There’s the gunner wizard, the blaze wizard, and the slash wizard. There are also different versions of the Zaku itself. This one is the warrior and there’s also a zaku phantom that features 2 shields and the command antenna

[@brothatscrazy3418]

Recently just bought and built the kit and I have to say I'm extremely satisfied. However, with that said this was my first ever master kit. I've recently gotten back into Gunpla about 2 months ago and have only built 5 HG kits that I got from hobby lobby and they were good, well 4 of them were good. The 5th and undoubtedly the was was the HG Leo and god that thing is a floppy mess, I get its suppose to be a cheap army builder but dam, the hg rx-78-2 cost like $2 more and I checked online and its the same so that's pretty shitty. Getting back to this kit though. I love it. It is extremely sturdy in the primary joints. I did have to add some super glue to the hand balljoints and to the shield tri ball joint thing(the thing that holds the shied in place on the shoulder) and that's it. Every other joint has been extremely stiff and sturdy but not so much that it feels like its going to break. I do agree that the mech itself feels really high quality and sturdy but the gun looks a little cheap. But it has been very sturdy and holds its position well. A few things I wanted to point out though is that my mech does have a "gigidy gigidy", the heavy gun tube varnish does reach from end to and and stays put even after moving, my waist turns farther without having to lift the body up(you can just slightly lift the two front skirts up and it can turn farther. But my biggest gripe I have to say is how terribly the hands hold the gun and the beam assault rifle. The trigger hand is ok but I would have preferred a grove or peg that helps hold the gun and secondly is the the opposite arm has a hard time holding the Beam ARs front grip. All in all I'm still very happy with this kit.

[@zamdaveaquino7868]

The beam axe was supposed to be stored inside the shield and ejected from the top of the shield, but they didn't include that feature; which was a heavy bummer for this gorgeous kit.

Awesome review as always! I'm not 100% sure if I'll buy the MG ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior (Lunamaria Hawke Custom). If I do, it'll be my first Zaku style GunPla. 6:44 I expected this. I expected Bandai to create a new 1/100 ZAFT フレーム.; especially with all of the potential variants. This very likely means Bandai intends on making variants (P-Bandai mostly) of things like: - MG ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior (green) - MG ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior (green) - MG ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior (Lunamaria Hawke Custom) - MG ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior (Live Concert Ver) the one Meer Campbell used - MG ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom (green) - MG ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom (Rey Za Burrel Custom) - MG ZGMF-1001 ZAKU Phantom (Heine Westenfluss Custom) ...etc I think it'll be similar to how Bandai reused the 1/100 GAT-X フレーム for: - MG GAT-X102 Duel Gundam Assault Shroud - MG GAT-X103 Buster Gundam - MG GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam (Ver RM) - MG GAT-X207 Blitz Gundam - MG GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam I think it'll be similar to how Bandai reused the 1/100 ZGMF フレーム so far for: - MG ZGMF-X10A Freedom Gundam (Ver 2.0) - MG ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam - MG ZGMF-X09A Justice Gundam Also, I hope that Bandai reuses the 1/100 ZGMF フレーム & 1/100 GAT-X フレーム for making these Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny MGs: - MG GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam - MG GAT-X252 Forbidden Gundam - MG GAT-X370 Raider Gundam - MG ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam [Oowashi ver] ➡ can use the MG GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam (Ver RM) as its basis - MG ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam [Shiranui ver] ➡ can use the MG GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam (Ver RM) as its basis - MG ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam (Ver RM) - MG ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam (Ver RM) - MG ZGMF-X23S Saviour Gundam - MG ZGMF-X24S Chaos Gundam - MG ZGMF-X31S Abyss Gundam - MG ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam (Ver RM) - MG ZGMF-X42S-REVOLUTION Destiny Gundam [Heine Westenfluss Custom] (Ver RM) - MG ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam (Ver RM) - MG ZGMF-X56S/β Sword Impulse Gundam (Ver RM) ➡ can release a P-Bandai add on set with both the β Sword & γ Blast シルーエット パック (Silhouette Pack) - MG ZGMF-X56S/γ Blast Impulse Gundam (Ver RM) ➡ can release a P-Bandai add on set with both the β Sword & γ Blast シルーエット パック (Silhouette Pack) - MG ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam - MG ZGMF-X88S Gaia Gundam 7:16 I don't think they really need to have a lot of inner details. A lot of newer MGs tend to not focus on inner details on the frames much these days. It won't matter since after you cover it up with the armor parts, you won't see it. 9:08 Of course it wouldn't be able to hold it. They're using GAT-X フレーム on the MG GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam (Ver RM). It's most likely has different size/shape hand parts, even though they're the same finger swapping style MG hands. I agree though it is a slight waste of potential. 11:29 15:51 The ウィザード パック (Wizard Pack) is just the naming system used. It's the equivalent to ストライカー パック (Striker Pack) or the シルーエット パック (Silhouette Pack) used by GAT-X105 Strike Gundam and ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam respectively. There's a lot of Wizard Packs including: - EX-A1 Gunner Wizard - EX-K Slash Wizard - EX-M Blaze Wizard - EX-AAL Noctiluca Wizard - EX-R4 Command Wizard - EX-EZ1200 EZ Wizard - EX-G1 Knight Wizard - Kerberos Wizard So I expect to see variants that use these Wizard Packs to get a P-Bandai release.
