The transformation looking so amazing , so much effort went into designing this kit. I’m currently working on fully painting this kit guess I wouldn’t be able to play around the transformation cause it scratches the paint, plan to just leave it in its signature pose. Maybe i should buy another robot spirit version of this just to play around. Nice review as always !

It's seems Bandai improved the ABS used in this kit. I built the original MG kit long time before. the ABS was a pain in the ass. It was brittle and hard to polish back then. After seeing your youtube, I am planning to build one again. Hopefully bandai will make an RG EX-S in the future.

i know this is old but just a slight nitpick the sinanju waist joint issue was due to ABS plastic and the waist peg being molded on top of a thin plastic plate on top which due to strong friction from ABS connecting to another ABS surface lead to the flaw in its structural integrity. Polystyrene frame was used to mostly solve this issue alone. Just wanted to point that out Otherwise, love playing ur build vids while building btw

Thank you and this is an amazing work. One thing i would change about the video is the music. 53 mins is too long to play the same kind of music (if it is not at all the same one). I would do a more ASMR type as it is relaxing but should you choose to add a music track, make sure it is faint, not similar sounding and not overwhelming the video. Hearing those things slide and click and snap is a wonderful addition for the viewers as they cannot interact with the gunpla themselves.

@citrusjuicebox9 ай бұрын
All runners in each kit are printed at the same time. As for this kit, I believe there is a reprint due to arrive some time this month. You can read the print date on the runner by inspecting the back of the name plaque on each runner: The smaller wheel indicates digit year, the larger wheel indicates month (X, Y, Z are 10, 11, 12), and the number of triangle marks decades since decade of original release. Old kits tend to be more brittle because time allows the effects of poor storage to accumulate. If a kit has been stored in a cool, dark, dry place, its plastic condition will not deteriorate much at all.

Can I ask a difficult question? What is the appeal of Gunpla from a collectors standpoint? It’s made of 100% plastic with some screws...You can pour hours and hours into, sculpting, scribing, and painting...all to have it break some day when stored, moved, dropped or mishandled...you can glue it but then you just have a statue. On the other hand, you can have Metal Robot Damashii that is a PVC figure with die cast joints, clearly intended to last longer and have better articulation, and they are heavily detailed out of the box. So we have a product that is premium looking, has structural rigidity, and is made to be played with and posed....So why even bother with Gunpla anymore? I get the fun of building...but there are better ways to add Gundam to your collection, without it being a kit that has a shelf life and expiration date. And last of all, it is true that Gunpla plastic breaks down and Deteriorates over time....so eventually all Gunpla gets brittle and breaks. Why not go with something more permanent?
@citrusjuicebox4 жыл бұрын
I can't speak for everyone, but, for me, I enjoy the process of putting something together way more than just fact of having something. Impermanence doesn't really bother me. For most kits I've built, I wouldn't mind building them again. On the other hand, gunpla isn't really as impermanent as you say it is. Polysytrene and ABS probably break down at nearly the same rate as PVC and POM do, at least as far as our lifetimes and interests in the hobby are concerned (otherwise, plastic waste wouldn't be such an environmental hazard). I don't handle my kits that much, and I don't handle my action figures that much either, so it's not like I'm going to wear anything out. If I was ham-fisted enough to break a part on a kit, I'd be equally likely to break the same part on an action figure, even if it was die-cast. I don't think this is a difficult question at all. I wouldn't say my gunpla is art, but gunpla in general certainly can be. Any kind of art is fleeting, especially if it's not cherished. Kits and figures are really the same: the only differences are how much you pay and who puts it together.
