ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE HIGH GRADES! HG 1/144 G-Exes Review

[@mokemon1118]

AGE kits rerun was one of the best things that happened this year. Got my MG Age 1 last September and loved it a lot

[@obicross]

wait, there's a rerelease??

[@mokemon1118]

You'll notice in Mecha's review G-Exes has the blue Bandai logo. The HG and MG Age kits were so rare before the re-release. I think it was early September

[@Koel_Hellion]

I'm still waiting for it to be in stock

[@0supermoose804]

Ugh. Still no MG Age 1 Titus or Spallow though.

[@LTDragoonIII]

Thanks for telling me!!!

[@rexjosephglorioso4868]

AGE kits basically started the good Gunpla standards we have these days. This includes the SD. I remember buying these back in college and they still hold up almost 10 years later after I built them

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

Agreed. All of the parts primarily the polycaps are the sturdiest I have ever seen. But just my personal opinion though, the following G-Reco series HG kits seems like a backward step in Gunpla standard.

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

True dat, which is why AGE doesn't deserve all the flak it gets. And I always say any "AGE kit > HGUC Unicorn." :p

[@DarkROSkull013]

I would take it a step back and say it began with the HG Gundam 00(the MS, not the line). Otherwise, I agree with you completely.

[@Rbandzz.23]

My age FX full burst was the first kit i built as a 11 yr old. My dad helped me so i think i built it correctly, but it fell apart overnight :(

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

@@Rbandzz.23 I built the Age FX and FX Burst and it's truly a finicky kit. The main issue is the fin funnels tends to fall out from the kit. I had to triple topcoat the bottom area of the fin funnels just to make it snugly fit with the other parts.

[@RetroLaserbeak]

I just love this guy's straight-up Optimus Prime looking head. I've only just started building kits a few weeks ago, but in the future once I decide to dabble in painting I kinda want to grab this guy and give him the full Prime paint job. Or I'll just leave him as is and say he's Ultra Magnus. Or hell, why not grab 2 and do both!

[@felps_4500]

Lol, I was about to say the same thing, that Optimus Prime head can't fool anyone

[@Jetsetradio]

If that does it for you, the V Gundam Hexa is the obvious inspiration for this one

[@fishpop]

Just paint the pecs and mouthplate light blue and you have a Magnus. Could also be nifty and instead paint it as Minimus Ambus.

[@DarkROSkull013]

You know what, Once upon a time I entertained the idea of a custom build of Powermaster Optimus Prime/God Ginrai. The G Exes/Bouncer was the only candidate/base kit I considered using because the head really matches.

[@Supahsenpai]

I was thinking optimus primal custom

[@benadrylthundercrotch7144]

Every time I find out about a new age kit I always want it, they're just such neat designs, especially the enemy suits.

[@anaklusmos9203]

Same. Hopefully they reprint more. Especially the MGs.

[@kaigen999]

I love Age. The anime and the HG kits. I have been buying all of them recently and have almost completed the collection. I need 12 more to buy in order to complete the set

[@FOXZILLA5734]

Age is one of my least favorite series but i highly respect you for liking it

[@kaigen999]

@@FOXZILLA5734 did you watch it dubbed English? If so I would suggest rewatching the Japanese dub with subtitles. Way better haha

[@FOXZILLA5734]

@@kaigen999 i watched it in japanese

[@kaigen999]

@@FOXZILLA5734 oh. Okay haha was it too weird for ya or something? XD

[@FOXZILLA5734]

@@kaigen999 not because its weird but even though a 3 generations story is a very ambitious idea i just felt that the execution did not really live up to that idea due to its pacing and character motivations but it does have things in it i really liked mostly in generation 2(which is my personal favorite arc) and some of its mobie suits are creative like the gundam legilis

[@AgaiLazen]

Gundam Age is criminally underrated, and this is proof why.

[@marselanosyahputra7168]

Age line kits is the definition of next level HG, superb articulation and solid. Even its released 10 years ago but still acceptable for today HG

[@LiLim44]

AGE kits have a really great engineering improvement

[@Jirujan]

12:23 it's good that you finally back to FOCUS on certain part when filming it

[@bambino__flores]

just built the HG G-Bouncer and it was an absolute treat. love your channel by the way bro bro. it’s cool going Gundam hunting in Misawa and coming across a kit I’ve seen you review.

[@aero981]

I don't know if someone else mentioned this, but the shield mount hand cuff section can actually be rotated to have the shield on the back or side of the arm without needing a shield adapter with 2 different peg locations

[@DarkROSkull013]

This kit is awesome. The design really evokes ace pilot ms. Kinda feels like if the Hyaku Shiki was a white MS. I have the GXiphos, but will definitely get this and the GBouncer soon.

[@Jhayzer021]

Bandai should make an MG of this and of course G - Bouncer too.

[@DaikaijuDU]

(pre watch comment) Scary... I was JUST watching your review for the HGCE Aile Strike Gundam, to see if I'd like it, as I plan on going to my local hobby shop later today. I'm deciding between that kit, or this kit, now I get to compare through you! Edit: I went with the HGCE Aile Strike :)

[@amirulhakim9309]

I cant wait to see you review hg livelance heaven and hg helios

[@NickDyers]

10th anniv already? damn, time flies! still no SPALLOW REISSUE, tho.

[@djsoundwave5595]

Wdym,the entire age line got reprinted including the mgs,sd and pbandai kits

[@damongeist]

If you like JoJo's you can use this head to make a custom gundam-ish Killer Queen

[@kurtmorales7644]

Plus, it being primarily white, so it can easily be painted in Killer Queen's color scheme

[@vustvaleo8068]

funny enough its pilot in the anime has the same voice actor as Jotaro, lol.

[@ChrisTian-sd5yq]

Funny enough Wolfe have the same VA of Jotaro

[@gronzen5451]

...I hate how smoothly you put that sticker on the shield, I'm staring at my naked Hajiroboshi so self-consciously lol

[@t.nightmaressoul9769]

The earliest I'll ever be in a Mecha Gaikotsu video that peaks my interest lol Great reviews tho, Gaikotsu! Keep up the great work! :)

[@Amatsaru29]

To be honest I like all white mobile suits. The blank color palette makes it easier to customize: mold lines, easy to hide; nubs, easier to clean up; palette doesn't interfere with paint jobs.

[@zackaryb0i332]

bruh I was literally about to buy that the other day :0

[@R3AP]

My very first Gundam kit, one if my favorites too. Recently got the G-bouncer as well

[@AngeMaru486]

I actually have this, along with the G-Bouncer, on my backlog of kits.

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

7:06 V-Dash Gundam??

[@KGH786]

LOVE THIS G-Exes GUNPLA and LOVE AGE 1 gundam

[@Kartoffel_23]

I added this to my cart a week ago and was deliberating whether I would buy it. I loved the design and plan to customize it. And then I saw this review was convinced but saw that it already sold out. Life has a way of screwing with you.

[@fishpop]

That head could work nicely as an Optimus Prime head. My brother has this kit and i quite like it. The plastic feels so nice.

[@eomersimbajon2938]

LETS GOOOOOO yall remember that one awesome fan made version of this? i honestly thought that was officially made but then dug around to find out it isnt! i hope that becomes a real custom kit!

[@megagundamva2694]

I feel ya about the Exes i love parts of the bouncers like the boosters Parts of the head and the Shoulders and arms i think most but the Exes has so many Unique shapes that Really standout from anything before and since Plus it has the MUCH Cooler name I Fell ya

[@siomairice1127]

I love Age series and the kits. Very underrated.

[@azureradiation3756]

Thematically it is the equivalent of the Hyaku Shiki, design wise it even has the exact same chest piece as well.

[@tomefilho3902]

I like the G-Bouncer. And the Vegans suits along the Shaldoll Kai and Clanche Custom are good kit. Shame we never got a S.I.D kit.

[@cjme1]

honestly, this reminds me a lot of Unicorn, especially with the color scheme and wolf head on the shield

[@donivanbiggs6786]

7:06 is that..... R-1?

[@MusicFan752]

Hope to grab it over at Gundam planet, I can probably do a sick kit bash with the rx-78 revive.

[@azureradiation3756]

I love so many of the Age kits, I'm honestly considering buying this one AGAIN edit: I only wish this would come to Gundam Breaker 4

[@NeoSlashott]

Before Orga's Shiden, there's this Exes guy.

[@willdabobalore2132]

One of the best characters in AGE

[@jeddpires]

All the non-X-Rounder ace pilots were generally the best characters

[@josephdonnluna4483]

I think I need to grab the AGE 1 Spallow as my gift after I pass the board exam this December..

[@matttan8066]

The only suit i thought it was a gundam back when i was young and its the first gundam series i watch

[@Kids_Scissors]

Ngl it'd be cool to see someone do an Optimus Prime custom of this Gundam because of that headsculpt

[@crimsondrago2224]

THE AGE KITS ARE BOSS and the anime is awesome too

[@osmage]

Reminds me I need to finish building this. I started it like 4 years ago and left it half done

[@itsgab5745]

I mostly love a lot of the enemy age units! I just like how alien and monstrous they look compared to anything else.

[@depression7387]

Is that a new Mic i hear? Nice

[@weekan_]

This kit is sooo damn Rare

[@crist3809]

naaah

[@-MastersTV-]

i like the color i wish i could paint my gunpla to get a gundam that looks like that

[@lygonthereddragon]

This would be perfect as a batman gundam custom

[@bananaboi7841]

This would be a good custom Batman gundam If you paint it in the colors of Batman

[@birumerah2896]

Hg age line is so underrated imo

Sighs in no mention of it being a clear reference to shin matsunaga

[@hwabyung5211]

I really wanna try and kit bash this into a Optimus Gunpla

[@marcusl8602]

Liked the jackedge, myself.

[@FOXZILLA5734]

I am very mixed on how age handles its mobile suits but there are some that are really good and this is one of them

[@muhammadwibisonojanuar7793]

I wish I can have G Exes and G Bouncer, as well as Age FX. Please review Age FX

[@axess707]

Age was when I started getting into High Grades. I was strictly MG that time but when I saw how good HG AGE was compared to HG Seed and HG 00 then, I started to shift towards smaller scales.

[@scottyi88]

i kind of like the g-exes especially the jackedge i recently got not that many accessories and it's simple i love simple.

[@5434644]

I always wanted to pick this up just for the head, but every review I saw mentioned that loose torso. Still looks pretty cool though.

[@Lil_Skylar467]

I just realized The Core gundam from gundam build divers rerise is based around this gunpla. you can see the similarity on the joint for the knee. Also the waist is the same thing. Look at feet almos tthe smaething

[@djsoundwave5595]

I think you meant the age 1 normal the suit that inspired woolf to commission this suit

[@MisterSouji]

Its funny that this is "Ok" articulation. We've come so long from the no grade wing kits.

[@gundamnoob254]

Once you see the head looks like Optimus Prime you cant unsee it

[@yeah8709]

I blinked and i thought it was a hg O gundam review at first 💀💀💀

[@RyukiEXE]

The head you're referring to is the V Hexa. I only know that because of Gundam Breaker 3. 😂

[@victorfernandezabarca7648]

Every time i see the g-exes i think about Optimus P.

[@Smilomaniac]

The HG Titus is baller.

[@りみとれす]

pretty cool kit, I like the G-Bouncer over this kit for it's aesthetics but sadly it has an arm problem making it a lower tier build quality than this one

[@darkfent]

I got this for cheap in a now flattened Tesco back in my bachelor days...I don't know if it was due to wrong barcode or they just wanted to get rid of it quickly, but my face just beams up when the scanner shows the price at checkout

I wish AGE kits weren't as rare as they are.

[@obicross]

mecha, some of dspiae markers. i have them and they are really good i think. the gold is great, and they release some new colors. they're acrylics as well. also, brush type, so painting bigger areas is really easy, as well as detailing small parts. really fun

[@numa_kai]

paint it black and give it a cape its now batman MS

[@jaketheberge1970]

Looks like Optimus Prime and Grandaddy gundam had a kid.

[@OtonashiV]

*stares at Dagger L, GM/GM, Barzam, Adele, Windam...* Uh, I don't think being a grunt suit negatively affects the articulation in the slightest. In fact, a simpler design should lend to better articulation. The only grunt kits with bad articulation relative to the standard at the time were grunts released in HGUC when the original Unicorn OVAs aired (ReZel, Jesta, GM II/III, Zeta Plus, Zulus, etc.) and I'm convinced Bandai simply got lazy with Unicorn's success.

[@eomersimbajon2938]
