The relaxed, low-energy/intensity, simplified review style in these videos is why I watch them for fun instead of research as it is with so many other Gunpla-related channels.

@@redheadphones6 sorry for the late comment, what is the name of the tune in the background of your videos? I’ve always really liked it.

[@JDPetty0990]

The Hi-Nu's funnels, like humanity's souls, are weighed down by gravity. Any interest in the P-Bandai HWS set for the Hi-Nu? The North American preorders went up the other day. I don't have the Hi-Nu Ver. Ka yet, but I'm tempted because I like the Nu HWS, another design that went unused in CCA. (So the Hi-Nu HWS is double unused!)

[@SupposedlyShiny]

I would love expansion pack reviews by him! There’s never good, detailed reviews of them!

[@elnavales]

I have the Hi Nu and the HWS. It's on my display. It looks nice with some drawbacks: The gun and the shield are way too heavy for the arms so you will have to do some reinforcing if you wanna pose it. Also, you'll just have to keep it on the stand. Don't even try to pose it standing up. All in all I think it looks way better with the armor than without it.

[@usinganear]

Alright, @redheadphones6. I watched every single one of your Gunpla videos these past two weeks. I'm ready for more! In all seriousness, this has become one of my favorite channels! Hope you continue to do gunpla reviews. No one else shows the inner frame and is goes through the kit quite like the way you do. I also appreciate the selection you choose, emphasizing some older kits and giving them credit and appreciation where it's due.

[@laurenzheitmann8080]

[@bogrot69]

I just built this kit a couple of kits ago.Yes, I now measure time in builds 😂 It's one of my favorite builds so far. I even made it through the waterslides without a hitch. I was sweating on the fin funnels. I used Micro Sol to set them 😁 I shot a couple of coats of clear on them ASAP and managed to seal them in nicely.

As good as the new RG Hi Nu, I love the legs on the MG version. It look like one of those old jets side air intake especially the Harrier.

[@ParmMannREBORN]

Found a new Gundam channel to start following! Great review

[@masterkent1]

This is my favorite variant of the original hi nu design since its 5he closest to the original izubuchi design. Also it's purple which is a huge bonus since ever since the 1.0 mg redesign every hi nu since then has been blue. Also I just find the balance between detail and simplicity to be perfect that I think added details kinda hurt it since it might be too overbearing in the context of this ms. (Ergo why I prefer hguc sazabi compared to the rg sazabi for example)

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

Christmas came early coz you uploaded! Request: since you reviewed Hi-Nu Gundam Ver Ka, can you review RE/100 Nightingale please? Merry Christmas bro!

[@rx-93nugundam20]

I also prefer the novel/Ver.Ka design of the Hi-Nu over its 2007 redesign counterpart

[@FaytLeingod02]

I agree this kit looks awesome, but those wsd on the fin funnels always stopped me from getting it. As you say, I can paint it, but I'd have to hand paint it, I don't have the ventilation for air brushing or the space and hand handing doesn't look as good. So I stuck with the normal Mg Nu Gundam ver ka and Rg Hi Nu Gundam.

Great detailed review. I love this more than the regular Nu. How will you rate this with the HWS expansion set? (If ever you get one those are rare these days...) XD

[@leolied6766]

Pretty good update review man. Anyways whats your opinion on that announced Rg Hi Nu that coming out in the summer of 2021. I personally like how the Rg Hi nu has a nice mix of the Novel/Katoki design with elements from the 2007 redesign.

[@redheadphones6]

It's going to be interesting for sure. I'm really curious how the fin funnels will be handled. If the part separation is there for that blue/purple, it might be a great way for fans to add the Hi-Nu to their shelves.

[@legoskyminer3155]

What’s your go to gold paint? I saw your shining Gundam video and was impressed with the gold. Was it a Gundam Marker?

[@redheadphones6]

I used a Krylon metallic spray paint called "Gold Leaf." I haven't used Krylon paint for anything else, as I only received that color as a gift from a friend, but it did a great job of making a gold that both popped, but didn't distract from the rest of the suit.

[@legoskyminer3155]

@@redheadphones6 Thanks! I’ll have to see if I can find some, cause it looked really good. Do you think you’ll ever do a “How I Gunpla” type video? A place for you to share your go-to paints, tools, etc.? That’d be super helpful. Thanks for the awesome vids!

[@123456789554332]

Imo I just let the fin funnels completely white. Mabye once I get a setup for painting them I would paint them, but from personal experience using water side decals(and 3 of them at that) is just a recipe for disaster on the fin funnels.

[@memoktc]

when will u review the regular Nu gundam ver ka?

[@coldsliversteel]

I am new to gundam so I have a HWS EXPANSION SET for Hi-v GUNDAM Ver.Ka Hi-Nu Model Kit and like to know what gundam frame should I use?

[@lordkenkaih]

thinking of buying a MG Exia ignition mode though im not sure if its good, could you possibly do a review on it?

[@biggus6252]

Does Hi Nu have and the Nu have compatability in the backpack?

[@eugeniahawkins4747]

I've noticed that there is another mg of the hi-nu floating around. The one in question has a blue color scheme instead of purple. Is the blue one any different from the ver.ka? If so is it any good? No one ever talks about the blue one and the few reviews I can find of it are pretty old, but I much prefer the light blue over the dark purple.

[@titan133760]

It's an older kit, so expect a dated build.

[@ezhumbug]

So why did Bandai made a blue version of Hi Nu in 2007? Honestly I like the 2007 just for its short and long beam saber

[@PlayWaves1]

The blue MG version was a redesign. The purple version is how it looked in the novel Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children.

[@ZarlLarlack]

I find that squeezing the middle thruster bit of my Nu's funnels make the folded fins more solid and they keep there shape, but I don't know how different the Nu's and Hi-Nu's funnels are

[@redheadphones6]

They're pretty much the same, from what I remember of my Nu Gundam build. Regardless, the hinge connection tends to get weak over time and slump. I remember getting the fin funnels set perfectly, putting the kit on my shelve, then checking back a week later to see a few of them collapsed. I really hope newer Nu Gundam kits can figure out a more stable locking mechanism. We'll see what happens with the RG!

[@SLEEPZERO_Speciall]

What a beautiful machine

[@azrael1045]

if you have the Sinanju (narrative version i think) this kit looks really good with the leftover heavy beam rifle

[@mman8w30washere4]

Might I suggest the normal hi ni mg? It would be interesting seeing a comparison since it's a redesign in more blue and also quite interesting.

[@mman8w30washere4]

Plus I have a suspicion the shooting effect parts from the mg hi ni might be compatible with ver ka which is why the funnels on ver ka also seem to have the tabs nessecary to insert those effects.

[@Jmaster-99]

I wonder. How long was the build for this in general

[@redheadphones6]

It's different for every person. Personally, a build like this took me about 2-3 days, working a few hours after work per day. It's nothing too time consuming, but worth taking your time to really enjoy the engineering and how all the pieces come together.

[@MrZgui415]

I got the P-Bandai HWS Add-on ... try to get it if you could ...

[@zenblack11]

So does the Hi Nu Ver Ka share the same inner frame as the Nu Ver Ka? I'm planning on getting the metal parts for the frame

[@mgiantpurplepanda]

Those decals are why I painted mine. I had to teach myself how to do a fade. Honestly it was easy and mixing the purple it uses is easy(it's almost exactly mr. color purple) but I had some trouble getting a blue I liked because hi blue is best hi nu. Tho the circles on the knees on mine wouldn't go in on mine. I'm about to have to solve that problem seeing as that's almost where I am on my build

[@holden_7597]

Hi Blu is best at being a shitty design.

[@MrRipper557]

My biggest issue with this model is that for a minor led gimmick.. it puts way to much weight on the back with a weak connection from the back to the chest making it fall apart on me to much

[@animeaisyah105]

Me I couldn't even take a good care of my Sazabi Ver Ka since i accidently glued and broken some part that are important such as the wrist joint of the movable finger and the fin funnel gimmick. Now its just a sazabi with one fist and one missing fin funnel lol

[@coleviloria3800]

I have the HGUC Hi-Nu so is the cannon colors Purple and off white or the teal/blue of the HGUC?

[@PaoloAlexisFalcone]

The official setting is the royal blue and silver gray of the HGUC.

[@PaoloAlexisFalcone]

The first colored rendition of the Hi Nu was from Hobby Japan magazine in 1990. Back then it used blue (though it’s also near to purple) and gray. It was the 1998 Dengeki Data collection that is known to have the Hi-Ni Gundam colored in purple with yellow vents. Bandai has alternated between the purple and the royal blue color and gray color scheme even before the 2007 MG came out at least for the cover art. The 1/144 B-Club Hi Nu Gundam from 1996 used the blue and gray, while the 1/100 conversion that came in 2002 tried the striped shield look with the gradient colors on the funnels but using the purple color scheme.

[@davidhunger3622]

This reminds me of the Alex Gundam style machine.

[@Bigjawnnn117]

I know this an older review but I will say for your fin funnels if you invest about 4-8$ in some cheap funnel effects from eBay they definitely help them stay up! And looks cool :)

Tbh I am still glad I went with the original mg and not the ver ka. More fiddly sure, but man I like the look of it more.

[@elipsiclearts2284]

I think the RG’s color separation may make it both a more complex and better build,since it has the purple and white fully separated,and the kit is overall easier to store due to its smaller scale

[@luisespinoza3877]

I just bought this, but im feeling the blue from the original mg
