[@JericoLeslie]

Back in my days we get 5 or more MGs now 2 MGs in one year is considered good 💀

[@papafoundry5537]

Ikr. I collect mainly 1/100 scale and it pisses me off.

[@MrZaku-rh4qt]

Quality over quantity

[@jdk492]

​@@MrZaku-rh4qt while I agree and prefer quality for a while Bandai did both.

[@collaredlynx]

​@@MrZaku-rh4qt 1 new kit and an old kit with just 4 new runners is nowhere near a balanced ratio of quality and quantity.

[@ImSoSexyYesIAm]

Go work on your backlog and stop complaining about not being able to buy new kits :P

[@Smilomaniac]

So many Sinanjus and not a single damn Kshatriya.

[@arthurcavalcanti9405]

I hope the sleeves comment was referring to the Kshatriya.

[@Bigbear0288yt]

A RE 1/100 Kshatriya and MG Geara Zulu would be sick

[@my5head]

I hope the Kshatriya happens as an MGEX. It might not be the most popular ms, but I think it being the only MG Kshatriya would result in great sales.

[@ducpham1478]

MG Kshatriya is an overkill & would require quite some engineering to handle the weight from the get go. As the fate of 1/100 model kits in general is grim as hell, I doubt they would have any plan on working with those big MS.

[@Smilomaniac]

@@ducpham1478 It'd be more sound scaled up than the Strike Freedom. The HG has some pretty smart locks already.

[@eli5138]

There's a whole sinanju family tree now

[@QwErTy-cw6fh]

It's incredible knowing Bandai cooked so much with the MG Sinanju Stein back in 2012 and how it still holds up compared to other contemporary kits now. God I cannot even imagine what sort of madman is gonna try making their own Neo Zeong II for this… I salute them out of respect and fear.

[@00spinz35]

You could just use actual rockets for the sturm booster at that point , surely a hobby rocket person could hook you up with like 60cm long rockets 😂

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Now THAT I need to see!

[@nickel-bolas951]

As someone who built the 2012 one a few months back, it still holds up. phenomenal gunpla.

[@gigalanderos1248]

the dog is a pg or a mg? it looks so detailed

[@00spinz35]

GBG (Good Boy Grade)

[@arthurcavalcanti9405]

FYI - The bazooka combines with the massive rifle of the Sazabi ver.Ka, which makes an even more impressive weapon.

[@HybrydATP64]

Just a bit of an FYI, the MG Sinanju OVA still has the breakage issue on the waist peg, however if you sand it down slightly, it will not break as the friction is reduced

[@MechaGaikotsu]

I'll make sure to keep that in mind. My OG sinanju is on ii's 3 waist peg

[@notarxw]

@@MechaGaikotsuthere are metal parts if needed

[@Gun-EZ]

Personally, I'd like to see MG Geara Zulu/Zee Zulu. They deserve some love as a new grunt MS, perhaps even as a Ver.Ka

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

Definitely! 👍 The Zulu is my favourite Zeon suit. I've been waiting years for an MG. (We need a Kshatriya too.)

[@joe19870129]

Great Job on the video. I really enjoy watching your reviews

[@daltonmiller1569]

My man coming in clutch with the review

[@navigatorhat]

A Sinanju is worth building at least once for the experience. They are also HUGE. Last year I brought a 2nd hand Red Sinanju, stripped it down and painted it candy red with the Takumi Studio upgrade kit. Highly recommend it for the separated chrome gold and other visual upgrades that bring it up to current standards. There are also 3rd party kits that can give it a metal inner frame and other metal parts.

[@SifuBuilds]

Love the look of this! I need to build my older Sinanju Stein before this one!

[@karlchristiancanlas4501]

Dude, your posing skills are sick!!🔥

[@Bazzabazeman]

I've got the HG of both these two and they're probably my favorites to set next to each other. Awesome builds.

[@halorafa]

I always love when the dogs appear, please let them have more camera time!

[@AstreaGT]

Great poses on this guy. Might steal a few for my own

[@jordan901]

Aside from the color separated markings and beam axe, most of the "new" parts are just old parts reorganized to reduce the number of extra runners and waste parts. For example, the grey verniers were always grey on the NT ver (I think he used the brown by accident), but those were moved to S1 and the two duplicate h runners in gray are pulled from the set. In terms of meaningful loss- in the 2019 release you could build the original Stein Rifle, most of the shield, and the shorter fuel tanks. Also you usefully got an extra waist section that you could swap in to your original Sinanju if you had snapped the peg.

[@Shupppa]

Gracias por el Review!! Saludos desde México!!

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Incredible review, love the color separated sleeves! 🚀👍

[@NeoSlashott]

One question I keep forgetting: does it swap both red and stein armor sets?

[@calvinietivieyepie9494]

This kit looks awesome!

[@rodrigotapia7811]

Dog looks pretty tired of all that hard work he's putting in 😄

[@RevanR]

Can't wait for Sinanju Stein ver OVA

[@M0A0R0k00W0Y0L0D0E]

now we need a MGEX Sinanju full frontal version and a gundam base/side F Sinanju Stein Zeon-ize version (the white one without the Sleeve)

[@VF0312]

I always see the sinanju a luxurious design. Its so slick and I really like it. Also I did not know theres a 3 version of the stein already 😂

[@Zam-on-Barbatoast]

1:52 Hey I did that too for the Narrative and shared the list in my review! Coinkydink! 😁

[@Rhaszah]

Those axes remind me of the ones with the RE1/100 Rebawoo axes. That aside, the whole kit looks pretty good, can't wait for mine to come in.

[@Chrom_ii]

God the things I would do for an updated Red Sinanju, I was already thinking of buying another OVA Sinanju since I broke the hand but if they're gonna update it I might as well wait a tad longer

[@CAPTAINOKIN1776]

I preordered this kit the day they opened back around christmas because I was tired of hunting the normal stein narrative. I'm getting giddy with excitement about getting it soon.

[@RangerOmj]

U are the king of gunpla ❤❤❤

[@FallenEclipseHG]

The dogos are so adorable

[@NokasaTenma]

Came for the mecha, stayed for the puppers

[@OvAeons]

They'll release another ver ka version with the eyes and other red stickers separated in a few years XD

[@HidaAtarasi]

With regards to the premolded poseable hands, I think the mold got updated few years back; I had built, at the same time, MG Jesta and MG Jesta Cannon (to share parts) and they had different runners for the hands. The Jesta dated back to red Bandai logo on the box.

[@BrandonTjon]

I think they introduced the two tone for these hands. First featured on the Sazabi. It came after the NU and had the zeon styled manipulators but they were much more detailed and have the two tone going on. I think you can even see it when Mecha compares the hands.

[@xxnike0629xx]

So generally speaking the MG MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein (Narrative Ver.) "Ver.Ka" is essentially an MG Ver 1.5 of the MG MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein (Narrative Ver.) from 2019. The eye sticker on this isn't too bad since it comes in a clear piece. It'd be relatively easy to paint in clear red or metallic red. Any excess can be easily cleaned or will be hidden. 9:53 Say what you want. But to me, I take that as Katoki wanting to release a _new_ version of the MG MSN-06S Sinanju; maybe even a new RG version.

[@Gun-EZ]

Tbh, RG Sinanju 2.0 makes sense, since they've redone RX-78. As it has been already told, probably there wasn't enough experience or technology back then, but I'm sure modern RG Sinanju would be absolute banger

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx so, do you still plan on hoarding UC BOXES?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx despite your sheer hatred against UC stuff?

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx two things are for sure though ...

[@rx-105xigundam2]

@xxnike0629xx you will still refuse to build a kit again and ...

[@CollinandBri]

Correct me if I’m wrong but the zeta Gundam didn’t have the posable hands. I think the only kit in the time frame that had those hands was probably the strike freedom Mgex.

[@paulheap1982]

Which he corrects himself in text on the screen.

[@hazworksmodel]

still witing this sinanju coming to SE asia! i want this one!!!!

[@AlfonsoCarvallo]

"It soul is being weighted down by gravity down here" I spewed out my drink in laughs. Aside from that, I think this is a good kit to buy if you never bought the first versions, they keep improving it on and on and on, also the waterslides are pretty and a good Ver Ka. needs them. Tho, personal opinion, I think the Stein looks better in White and Blue, based off what it was originally meant to be... a Nu Gundam succesor. So I kinda prefer the older color scheme.

[@KagamiShi]

i wish we had this version of sinanju in red :

[@alb8758]

You're making me jealous, still waiting for my preordered kit from the local shop...

[@LockeLynx]

MAH BOI!!! (Sinanju Stein is my first Gundam kit and my first kitbash custom)

[@ExiledGundam]

Since it was loosely based on existing kit, they can't change the structure much (to add color separation to the mentioned parts)

[@eternaldeath-ov3jg]

i love my titanium finished the most

[@eli5138]

Now we just need the MG Weiss Sinanju to complete the set

[@mikeb4198]

Make this, but RG.... Engineering team of RG cooking great this past years, i would love to see them crushing this too....

[@sir_coma60]

I pray we get a MG Xi someday.

[@JONtheULTIMATE]

I need more MGs. . . .

[@IBW_3000]

And here I am still waiting for HLJ to release the damn Narrative

[@carmenburgos95]

hopefully they make a pg of Sinanju and Sinanju Stein because they'd probably address the problems the kits have

[@SifuBuilds]

Building this kit soon! I actually like the look of this!

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I'm looking forward to getting mine! I prefer the Stein's subdued aesthetic to the regular Sinanju. I wonder if we'll ever get a PG? Bandai has made several Unicorns, but they still have nobody to fight.

[@OtherMomo]

7:45 "what can I say" uttered

[@genefrisby5578]

Impressive likes, love and care for you awe

[@revvv3889]

Oh shit I would kill for an MG Geara Zulu Guards Type

[@arvz86]

Finally, we got the best sinanju version with fully color separated sleeves & chest emblem. What if Bandai released another version Front Frontal's Sinanju ver. Ka 2.0

[@xtrabolt8603]

I wish the shield on sazabi ver ka was color seperated as well rather than the waterslide

[@lzcpg]

If you're down to build a resin conversion, there's a Rosen Zulu conversion kit for MG Sinanju anime ver that's pretty awesome, though I haven't seen any sold since the one I bought a few years ago. Personally, I'm hoping for a MG Geara Zulu, would love more monoeye grunts.

[@mariestidola3573]

Id probably skip this since i already have the 2019 version and I'm loving it

[@markflores8619]

if you're gonna do the riffle with the bazooka attached, you better have some sort of stand to support the gun. my sinanju's shoulder joint broke after holding the same pose for years..

Btw. What tool do you use that's look like a laptop in early video? That's look pretty cool

[@vidarteygan7028]

i hope we get a sinanju 1.5 with better sleeves and a holding hand for its rifle

[@kaoru288]

The Sazabi ver ka's rifle looks way more menacing with the rocket launcher attachment imho. paired with its bulky figure, just give it round pauldrons and it can pass off as a Space Marine

[@vustvaleo8068]

probably both cool and funny at the same time if they made the Build Fighters Try variant the Weiss Sinanju into a MG kit as we only got the HG kit.

[@Normal.YT.]

Hey mecha, can you review the mg strike rouge otoori? Also the otoori striker has some pretty bad color separation

[@narakuoni]

The handle on the bazooka is the exact same as the one in the Sinanju OVA. I broke it the exact same way you almost broke yours. This will end up being a replacement for that one for me.

[@mtechniko]

We need a review on your dogs

[@veropone]

I'm guessing it's accessories are compatible with the Sazabi VerKa's Long Beam Rifle

[@Thenewbagman]

With all the reused stuff from all the MG Sinanju it feels closer to FrankenStein monster than a Sinanju Stein. Bandai mixed em all to create the definitive version of this MS

[@therest9281]

They should make a ver Ka for phenex next year since almost everyone is here except her

[@alucardsown]

Do you have a link for the item for the runner nub holder with the chars cover

[@_S4it0_]

Looks good so it's enough

[@thankyouverymochi]

this was a massive upgrade from MG Sinanju OVA, considering the OVA version had 4 times more stickers. but we don't have new red Sinanju. so the OVA is still the best red Sinanju. kind of hope they release MG ver ka of Sazabi and Zaku. I really like villain mecha, they look so unique and distinct 😄

Question does it still have a problem with Hip Joint breaking?

[@starkille10r72]

I've got my HGUC Sinanju Stein Unicorn ver standing next to my HG-MSD Full Armor Gundam, and the size difference is comical. The Full Armor doesnt even come up to the collar, thats how different the sizes of mobile suits between 0079 and 0096 are, to say nothing of how the beam rifle along is nearly as long as the full armor is tall.

[@spidermangrs7828]

Can’t tell if I like Narrative or normal Sinaju. Both look pretty good.

Correction. The Zeta Gundam Ver KA's hands are swappable style, the motion manipulator this kit is based on the 1.5 Dom from 2022.

[@hopworksup]

Dom has MP2 runner hands from the Sazabi, they are more chunky than the stein hands. All steins have the same MP1 runner hands which are also found in the Nu ver ka, Jesta, rx78 3.0, Hi nu ver ka, Rx78 Origin, GM sniper II white dingo, and MGEX unicorn and MGEX strike freedom

Great looking kit, would be really cool to have! But maybe I'm just salty right now or something, but I would rather have a kit of a MS that doesn't have one at all, like the Bertigo... A Bertigo gunpla is equivalent to Hollow Knight Silksong for me...

[@zerorequiem9835]

Still waiting to your Metal Build Lancelot Albion Review.

[@pauljosephferriol2018]

We need the sleeves grunt suits. 🤔🤔🤔

[@RedCometNurse]

I want either a Geara Zulu or a Rozen Zulu, with the other model being a P-Bandai version based upon the other. I think the Geara Zulu is the more logical suit to make the base MG for since it has all the color variants and the Guards versions. The fact they haven't done any of the Sleeves suits besides the Sinanju is ridiculous.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I'll be happy for any Zulu, but I hope they make both the base version and the Guards Type regular releases. They can make Cuaron and Sauper versions P-Bandai if they must, but don't make us pay extra for a basic army builder.

[@mjuneoginn]

Can you fit the outer armors of every MG Sinanju that came, into the MG MS Frame of that MG Ver. KA Sinanju STEIN Narrative?!

[@sanictheedgehog]

Honestly would rather have color separated eyes instead of sleeves. The sleeve design is a lot easier to paint than the eyes. Also not color separating that maroon part on the leg sucks as well. Was hoping for more than this but not really surprised. Bandai tends to get lazy with eye color separation in updates of older kits like the SEED freedom RG.
