MG Zaku 2.0 Gundam Review

I paint and build Gunpla, too! EDIT: If the audio starts to sound weird by the end, it's because I removed a copyrighted song.

So here's a review for the Master Grade 2.0 Zaku, from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. I actually love plastic model kits, and I would like to build more plamo going forward. I'd definitely want to build Char Aznable's Zaku, but I'll do that in the future. I'll also do another kit from another mecha anime series in the future...COUGHit'sevangelion

[@eldorito777]

Dude... That paint work is just... Just... Beautiful.

[@QuartzIsAnOxide]

To be honest i prefer them unpainted, because it looks more like in the show, but this figure looks great

[@bluex6348]

there is nothing bad about it

[@diglettmd1351]

eldorito777 personally I don't really like the battle damage look of model kits I prefer painting my model kits Look brand new and

Man don't sell yourself short! The painting on that zaku is amazing! I have about 12 MG gundams myself but I only use stickers and a dull coat. I wish I had the skill to make mine look that good XD

[@stephentay7084]

[@wrox1009]

i dont even put a coat

[@suicide19915]

​@@wrox1009I do... and a little hat and gloves. Don't want them getting cold in space. 🫰

[@MarkizenBlast]

All that battle damage on your Zaku is rather masterful and don't let anyone, even yourself, tell you otherwise Jobby.:D

[@VRHyoumaru]

I find pre-depression Jobby is a bit easier to listen to, I know it's for humor sake but I still get worried hearing it. That being said, that is one amazing paint job, wish you had documented the process because I wouldn't even know where to begin making such an amazing weathered deco.

[@goldeneggthatneverhatched4252]

Oh i thought i was the only one to get worried for jokes

[@punaboy12]

Looks like rust rather then dirt. Overall Excellent Job!

[@AmaryInkawult]

Shiro Neko 3 that's what I thought it was when I first seen it. Like it was a very old, yet reliable Zaku. (Because really if your Zaku is rusty it means it survived as other Zakus were eradicated as cannon fodder.)

[@fatkidonthemall4085]

Why not both?

[@ThePandoraGuy]

@@fatkidonthemall4085 ONE OF US, ONE OF US

[@supergamingdoggo9975]

Ol reliable

[@russelllim4891]

It looks more threatening with the weathered aesthetic

[@ompl4937]

Looks like a zaku that survived the OYW and was pushed into service again for the stardust operation

[@MathSouza1999]

The first model kit review of the channel,and I love it

[@shawn2875]

Has anyone noticed that the sound was different when it came to the head poseability

[@sunrisespartan1765]

You're right

[@car7795]

Because he removed a copyrighted song

[@kabula4993]

He just gone under water

[@pocho_xp]

I was aware

[@biggest_peter7856]

It was retribution for him not swiveling the head aggressively enough

[@KionKamon]

This is still one of my favorite reviews on this channel. I’ve built several Gundam kits including the custom painted MG GM Ver 2.0 on my profile pic. That was an overall fun experience, despite the pain in my fingers from the tiny ABS plastic parts. I didn’t bother painting the inner frame on it though as I’m never going to take the armor off of it. Edit: there are a few places where the paint chipped off, so I went over those places with a pencil to give it a lightly weathered look

[@lm_8480]

THE PAINT JOB LOOKS BEAST

[@decisive_battle3565]

Thanks Jobby for making this video because 8 year later I actually got second place in GBWC competition tournament because you inspired me to paint model kits

[@cjhilsenbeck8867]

This is... nothing short of absolute perfection. I would love to see how you paint your model kits.

[@bdemon9431]

This was the first video I watched from Jobby back in 2014, haven't left since. Best toy review channel.

[@Mr.ErealMr.e]

So this was the first video that gundam ghost was talking about in his song when he said "you're the one that got me into this s***"

[@dexterdexter8208]

The rust looks real, the paint is clean, the Eye pops, the paint job looks awesome. And the battle damage looks real and hardcore.

[@bready709]

i don't know what to say.... except.... WOW!!! Man! you are so talented! I love the details, adding those rusts, scratches, damages and such. I have 0 idea about gunpla and such when I received 2 first-grade gundam model kits during christmas a few years back. I had fun assembling it, but was slightly disappointed that it severely lacks details compared to the picture shown in the box. Turns out, there are actually different grades for gundam model kits, and even more, there are actually paints and such, and customizing it was what it needs to really shine. My eyes were wide open skimming through pictures of customized gundam, and felt bad looking at my uncustomized, first grade gundams. I wish I had a friend who's really into it (so he can guide me and avoid overspending from tools and wasting the paints), tools, an easily available specialty store (ordering online is something I have never done) and the money to support such a hobby. It looks really interesting.. maybe a few years in the future I might actually start doing it once I'm earning enough money and have nothing better to do. LOOKING FORWARD TO NGE! I LOVE EVA'S DESIGNS (especially eva 01)

[@critical_shot9292]

Thank you for introducing me to the amazing world of gundam!

[@Darkra00]

I really like your comedic toy review style and I would really love it if you did more gunpla reviews in the future. I myself am getting my first kit, an RG exia, relatively soon.

[@JobbytheHong]

***** Woo! The RG Exia is a great looking model. Hope you have fun with it!

[@Darkra00]

Thanks! I just received it in the mail yesterday! Hype!

[@JobbytheHong]

***** Well if you have a Facebook or Google+ account, you should share some pictures of your kit with me when you're done! I'd like to see it. :D

[@Darkra00]

JobbytheHong I definitely will! But I have a question about the hand modifications you did for your zaku. The exia also has a pair of posable hands so is it possible to do make them individual fingers on the 1/144 figure? I don't like how the 3 finger split would look but I'm also afraid the small scale would make it really hard to do.

[@JobbytheHong]

***** The smaller scale will definitely make it harder to do the modification. But if the hand of the RG Exia is anything like the MG Zaku's, then you should be able to perform the mod regardless of difficulty. I'm gonna need pictures of the Exia's hand to be sure. You think you could send some to me on Google+?

[@hunterlangley8287]

Excellent review. I've been building Gundams for about a year now, and this is going to be my first MG kit.

[@bigcheese3520]

hahaha the audio towards the ends sounds extremely hilarious, it adds to your comedic style.

[@NameName2.0]

That paint work and scarring is incredible man, seriously. Looks like an explosion happened near his head!

[@crolodon8024]

Really chill review dude. Not too over-the-top, great paint job, nice quick overview of the articulation, and a few good tips. That's... my review of your review.

[@savageshark379]

I got one of these too. Freaking amazing. I haven't painted it, but I have a 2nd that I'll be painting up soon. Pretty cool dirty work on the armor and shield. Even the details in the little things like the joints, ammo clips and so on

[@andreag2355]

HOLY SHIT YOUR PAINT JOB IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL ROBOT! AND IT LOOKS LIKE A FIGURE THAT WOULD TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY

[@yuyuhaio]

When you're doing battle damage there is really no wrong answer as long as you are consistent with the type of dirt, grime and scaring you want it to have. I think it was a great job even for a first attempt.

[@senorsexy9609]

Not gonna lie, your personality, it's great. Couldn't stop smiling. And the paint is wonderful. Great job meh dewd. Keep that shtuff up.

[@pitbullultrazord2928]

Jobby great job on the paint. If there was a gundum life action movie that's what Zaku would look like.

[@Autocon609]

I'm a recent sub and was lead to this video from your Barbatos review. You put an amazing amount of effort into this figure, and it sure as hell shows.

[@jeffclark2869]

MG kit reviews have never made me laugh until this one lol great job on the paint man!

[@MarvelandDC379]

The first JobbytheHong video I watched. Funny, detailed and informative.

[@Sarah.J.Jacobson]

Damn, the war really changed Jobby. My first model kit was a Hasbro Zoid red horn. I assembled and painted it with my father before be passed away. I hope if I ever had kids, I can assemble and paint model kits with them too.

[@larfleezeking2829]

Imagine the MG full armored gundam with this kinda painting. that would be A M A Z I N G

[@elmonoconzapatos7159]

Best paintjob I've ever seen by far.

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

You're being to hard on you work. It looks freaking awesome! One of the best I've seen on KZbin.

[@jonathanrigby5924]

Dude, that paint is AWESOME!

[@MrProfGenius]

Cool Zaku ! especially thats scar on head ! Zaku and metal detail also looks so natural and awesome !

[@valjanbernales1303]

Hey Jobby! You make toy reviews so funny and original! As a newcomer to gunpla, how did you paint the zaku? I heard primer was good for painting, did you use one?. How did you do all the beautiful detailing? If you can answer or recommend me to good tutorials, I'd appreciate it. Thank you for time! Happy Holidays!

[@JobbytheHong]

+Gabriel Dumont The funny thing about my Zaku is, I TECHNICALLY didn't paint it. I just dry brushed over bare plastic and top coated it. But if you WERE gonna paint your gunpla, I would recommend priming it. Here's a tutorial for weathering that really helped me! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqnOh2pmf9uUodk And all the related videos will keep you busy. Hope this helps!

nice are you kidding me you are the best painter I've seen

[@GAGFEST2000]

I used to build the small ones as a kid, loved making them but once they were done I just kinda... Forgot about them? Or playted too rough with them, so most of them are kinda missing their limbs... I want to get back into it after seeing some super cool custom ones and seeing the orignal version at my Barnes and Noble. Gundam Wing was the only one i watched a whole lot of (though I dont remember much, so i might go rewatch it) but there's just something about the Gundam designs (Most, at least) that are just sooooo cool to me, I love them so much! This paintjob was also amazing. I absolutely loved the detailing you did on his shoulder shield, looked great!

[@craftlikeaduck]

Awesome paint job! ZAKU is my favourite

[@egasurya_]

The best paint zaku i've ever seen until this time

[@Clovs-28]

Behold! Jobbys glory days

[@AmyAshen]

I've only built one model, a level 2 Spurkit of Spartan Thorne, but I was looking for more of a challenge, so I bought a HGUC RX-78-2, and in researching it, I found your channel.

[@madzoroark5396]

In my humble opinion, this is gorgeous. It looks like a veteran's zaku. One that has seen its share of battles and survived. It looks old and battle weary. I love it .

I mean come on, I'm not gonna sit and watch that so kuddos to you! I had one question, were the decals included just peel and stick stickers or were they water slide decals?

[@eternalmaggot7246]

This and the Type Solari actually won me over to the Zaku II. Every incarnation they look WAY too pristine and plasticy. The grime and wear look truly bring this ms and kit to life.

Thanks! Haha, never been a huge fan of stickers. I mean, they look great at first, but over time they kinda fall off, ruining the paint job.
