MG Red Frame (Part 1: Unbox) Gundam Seed Astray Kai gunpla review

www.gundam.tk | MG Gundam Astray Red Frame is finally here! Check out the manga, deboxing, and plates, before it gets put together.

[@navigatorhat]

Very nice and so quick! I'm going to stay tuned for this.

[@crapmunky99]

I really didn't expect you to get this one. Glad to be proven wrong... :) And thanks for that little bit of info on the manga; I've been wondering what it's all about... This kit looks amazing... Very tempting... Looking forward to the next part(s)!

[@strikefreegundam]

didn't expect you to get it this fast.. going forward for the other parts

[@SNEEPER1980]

nice looks like a pretty good kit. definitly need to get that one.

[@inlazoname]

4 thumbs up!! thnx robert!! you made me build this kit and i am absolutely impressed!!! keep up the reviews and im looking forward for newer MG's!! :D

[@DudelidouX42]

i think they made the gold parts that dull old gold because the hilt of the swords can be seen on both sides and since the shiny gold is created by spray painting a chrome plate with a clear orange all the gold made this way end up being gold on only one side so the other would be chrome.

[@Dre2Dee2]

Awesome dude! Just ordered a kit for myself. Red Frame is really rocking in the SRW W game. :D

[@Windyknuckles]

@TimeSplittersChimp Painting isn't all that bad if you know how to handle spray cans or an airbrush. For your first Gundam I recommend just using a clear coat spray on the parts to get rid of the plastic-ish look (if you use a matt spray which is hard to come by) and get used to spraying. Panel lining is very easy if you use a gundam marker, you couldjust give the part a clean wipe with a finger to fix up your mistakes, any small point acrylic marker still works though.

[@LynnLynnHeavyIndustries]

I'm so looking forward to this reveiw ^^ keep up the good work!

[@VersusZ]

alright!! cant wait for you to finish this... there IS a nice gold spray paint can that tamiya makes so you should check that out... but i think mr.color/gunze sanjo might actually be more accurate since they make the gundam markers... good luck with everything!!

[@99tgstang]

use a rice silver under coat and then use a clear gold on top. this will give u the gold sparker ur looking for. its hard to do, but with practice it will come out great

[@jundidididi]

Yes I had been waiting for this

[@SamuraiSyn319]

just bought and put together the 2003 1/144 version, my first gundam kit ever

[@Drstrangeclock]

I just finished putting together a high grade version, it will be interesting to compare the two.

[@mrhahn98]

wow !!!!! man u've got this so fast

[@Qrdel]

Very good intro, as always rrobbert :) Keep it up!

[@Magiustor]

I really cant wait to get mine, I just got a message today that its on the way! This'll be my first MG so im real excited to put this one together!

[@ckaicydek]

From what parts are shown on the manual, it's got the same joint on the abdomen tha allows the hips to swing forward, allowing for the same high forward kick as the Blue Frame. It even has the pegs & grips to make the Tactical Arms II into Sword Arms - minus the effect parts, though.

[@RoboticStriker]

tamiya have gold spray paint form it but u need to spay on some primer on first.U r so cool getting the red frame right after the release!

[@FallenZyros]

Tamiya has a pretty awesome gold spray paint that can fix your problem.

[@evilD0ER01]

I really like that you read the Japanese for us that can't. Thanks.

[@SoulCifer]

Omg i pre-ordered mine hope it comes soon. :x

[@safwan98]

wow!you got that gundam quite fast.i`m definately going to get this just because it is very cool looking.

[@mmf1396]

that looks like an interesting gundam. my f 91 should arrive to day that i bought and the person i got it from said he will give me exclusive clear parts for free. this was another great review too.

[@ckaicydek]

Personally, I'm glad the gold parts aren't gold plated - the regular MG Shin Musha Gundam was the same way with it's 'gold' parts. If they were gold plated, there would be ugly nubs everywhere that would be hard to hide. At least this way, we can paint them a shinier gold and cover up those nubs. I also like that the gold ends of the scabbard and the katana hilts are in one piece, so there's no unsightly seams to worry about.

[@megas2468]

I'm thinking of getting this model, but before i buy it I'll wait for the review and then decide on if I'm going to buy it or not. Can't wait for the review (^^)

[@ZiusPlays]

great videos ! My first gundam should be this one

[@imaqtlolz]

thank you for this review soooooo much

[@Lemonsharky]

@sorloft12 You dont need to read japanese to build gundam. It is build through really easy to follow pictures like legos (except it's not a toy) The only things in the instructions that are in japanese are the Gundam's descriptions and important icons for building (which can be figured out with simple intuition.) Good luck!

[@MexicanMatt46]

Nice! I've been stuck between buying the blue frame or the red frame... there both pretty awesome, but this one looks pretty good! Can't wait to see it done!

[@AngryAnon]

Its a strong type of plastic, what legos are made of.

[@Windyknuckles]

I recently got the Blue Frame Second Revise and now I'm looking forward to picking this up next week to display both the red and blue Tactical Arms together.

[@krcosmic]

that is so going to be my next model

[@A-Monkman]

Can't wait :D.

[@Lemonsharky]

@otileunamocius It is not a toy, it is a model, a gunpla. Though it looks like a toy it is really REALLY fragile (if put in the wrong hands) If your intrested in building gunpla, you first need sprue cutters, angled twezzers, an exacto knife, and perferibly a gundam marker for beginners. They don't sell them in the US, but you can buy some off the internet. Gunpla can take days to finish without painting but it is worth it. It is best to leave it on your shelf in one pose. Hoped this helped you!

[@sujinjian]

hmmm MG Wing Gundam is pretty sturdy, but the only bit problem is that 2 clear parts needs clear green paint to really look good ....

[@frosencarrotz]

@theantisebby no theyre dry transfer decals. u just rub em on

[@P00nez]

yesssss must get thanks for the review

[@101Gundam]

sweet silver plating! this is on my buy list

[@kabutozeroEN]

@Lemonsharky Though , the red frame is one of the sturdiest models I have , if not the sturdiest , only need to glue one panel or 2 and the only thing that will fall off are the sideskirts if you need to move them too much

[@vnza]

I've already got it, put it together 1 week ago (my local shop got it early and getting extra clear parts to boot!).Don't know the story line but a very nice kit (y).

[@PicholaPr0duct10nZ]

awsome! u get my sub =) i just ordered my first build astray red frame clear 1/100 cant wait to start building it =)

[@2Young4War]

To paint a very nice Gold,you must sprary a layer of black.Then,you sprary the gold,to achieve a shiny gold.

[@ZiusPlays]

@below61 yeah :D. I already bought this kit for a month

[@MrDeadzaku]

@Magiustor gud luk with ur new MG... seed line are nice kits to start with... if u want something challenging in the future try MG Sinanju

[@ticross1207]

Haven't you review the MG shin musha 1/100? I saw it at hobbytown today and still deciding between that one and the red frame I already bought!

[@ytb2705]

8 yrs later

[@Z3_R_0]

yt b still pretty cool mg

[@swazimilk]

@starbucksith It's the same red frame, but this one has extra parts for the tactical arms.

[@shift9303]

Use a mixture of clear gold and yellow. Yellow turns out too fake looking so you need the little bit of orange to darken it.

[@ElimRem]

Good stuff, subscribed!

[@seed4212]

cool,dude

[@darkjimbo]

just finished my pg red frame:)

[@MrKonnect]

This looks like a really great kit! Maybe I'll get it after the new Tallgeese

[@nivlaxtended]

blue frame was not stolen by gai... the junk yard dude gave it to him at the end of their first encounter

[@Tigerr4Ruler]

It kind of dazzles as to see the have plated the swords but not the sword handles and your right I think almost 80% will repaint in a better gold color. Is the manga also published in English or only avaible as fan-subs?

[@jujim224]

my shelf needs this :D

[@inlazoname]

@cod4andhalo3iscool dude gundam kits do not require any glue, but the come in handy just in case you accidentally broke a piece :D

[@sujinjian]

No light gimmick with the MG, though the PG does have one

[@sp1eedy]

lucky you got it

[@greenmondaymorning]

@RoboticStriker probobly pre ordered i bet prim is jelous she loves the red frame it takes pre oreders longer to get to canada and amarika

[@gamer4lyf414]

besides plainting a plastic part is many times easier than painting the pg chromed parts since paint doesnt stick to chrome very well. You will need to paint a large majority of the pg chrome parts anyway due to pathetic sprue placement.

[@omegashenron8]

Gundam Astray R was actually a pretty good read for me. lol great review.

[@cve2000]

@BlitzkriegOmega Mr. Bushido is Graham Ahtker....

[@j0hnhehe]

i wish that bandai would re-make this guy but with the normal backpack with the beams like the PG

[@TheBlitzgundam]

its look kickass!!!!!!!!!!

[@BreakfastsAtNoon]

I WANTS IT SOOO BAAAD

[@HolyReaver97]

@rrobbert184 i disagree. 00 quanta, a combination of the world famous 00 gundam, and the remarkably powerful reborns could take on any gundam in any gundam universe. all setsuna has to do is whip out that well designed luancher that hes got.

[@greenmondaymorning]

i dont like realy shiny gold but if thats what you like sand it down and look for some duplacolour spraypaint it give a good chrome efect i dont know if you have a napa anywair neer by but thats the best place to find duplacolour spray paint

[@khmergodhobbies]

I like the 4:3 effect of this.

[@dntnoderek]

great series, i just bought this (over priced) and was wondering if the last 4 numbers above the serial are the retail price? (@0:37). i am in South Korea and i found a hobby shop that sells these but they asked 75000 won, roughly 66 dollars US, and if this was an easy way to know the price i could haggle them down a lot easily. Thanks.

[@GndmMkv]

@MrWashadoingthere he doesnt do request reviews, he only review stuff he buys

[@gundamOPS]

omg cool.... i want one if imn not wrong this is the second mg to come out this year?

[@roccondil5]

hey, rrobbert. as always, great vid n I can't wait for the full review! for the gold just get a gold gundam marker n it'll give u good results. tamiya also as a gold paint marker n u can get it from other brands in an arts&crafts store. keep it up!

[@fosskers]

...he has reborns cannon hands behind his back

[@123asd1]

may sound odd but want the kit for two reasons, but id keep the katanas for re frame buuuuut his big one would got to another kit :3

[@5H9D0W3R]

I really want a review on Perfect Grade Astray!

[@TimeSplittersChimp]

I really want to start this and get my first gundam model kit im just really bad at painting and i think if i ever tryed to paint it would be really hard and pannel lining but if you don't then they look pretty boring

[@dialga1122]

actually, the astray r is actually really good

[@iKilledKennyXD]

way better than blue... wish i waited

[@rockzone16]

when i buy a kit in store i always ask if i can open the box and check the parts!

[@navigatorhat]

Yes it has an inner frame. A Red inner Frame :)

[@MrWashadoingthere]

sir rrobbert, will you do a video of a perfect grade of the red astray?

[@KingBronzeL]

What is the difference between the different frames? If there is none I will probably buy the blue one first since that is my favorite color, but if there is a big difference I might just buy each of them.

[@CopyWheelEye]

it is correct both ways

[@starforcenetwork]

Umm...because those 3 are above 20 meters in real height? While the Red Frame is in the regular gundam height of 18 meters?

[@akumaanh]

No beam rifle, beam sabers, shield , no original backpack? wish they include the original equipments so that you can switch back and forth.

[@below61]

@Sirme87 nah i hear this kit is pretty cimolicated.my first kit was mg freedom and i had no problems at all.

[@Say0n]

holy shit i want this

[@jackliang9225]

Hi, i was wondering, are you planning on getting the RG 1/144 red frame astray? im curious as to if the posibility on the RG is better or if the MG is better.

[@GndmMkv]

@BlitzkriegOmega yep he would go crazy with all swords to bad there is no trans am

[@MopGunZ93]

where did u get the idea to put a chars zaku head in every review? :P

[@TheGalgamore]

@Sirme87 You should start off with a HG kit first.

[@feralchemist]

clears the one question comes to most parts can put the pieces of normal color or not? thanks

[@hanifal9]

cool...you got it first...

[@kuciaotopi]

Red frame is already good with the Katana sword, but why give it a tactical sword?

[@cod4andhalo3iscool]

i want to buy this but i have a question am i going to need glu or do i just pop the peices together? (sry for spelling)

[@gamer4lyf414]

the crome gold on the pg really isnt that big of a deal..the places where the parts are joint to the pieces are poorly placed with little effort on bandai's part to hide them.. For such an expensive kit i expected bandai to put more effort into sprue placement like the 1/100 counterpart which is virtually perfect in terms of hiding sprue marks,

[@setsuna388]

@j0hnhehe or an add on like the victory gundam

[@starbucksith]

Isn't this also the kit that got a PG kit? or is that a different red frame?

[@jadenyuki1988]

can you get a 100 scale blue frame in the prototype style instead of the second style?
