The hole on the weapons are for the mighty strike freedom cause in the movie before it turns into the mighty it is the type 2 with the dragoons and in the battle it has its 2 beam weapons and 2 additional railguns that’s why the extra hole is there

[@tomvhresvelg9286]

But railgun is too big for Destiny HGCE to hold with 1H, and cannot be mounted on them. Even heavier than their long sword.

[@FreedomExalia]

Destiny ain't supposed to have a railgun at all, but I guess you're talking about the Destiny Spec II?

[@tomvhresvelg9286]

@@FreedomExalia yeah.just paint blade antenna as white and save the day.

[@alexmerino9143]

@@tomvhresvelg9286 all I did was paint the sword handle white the joints red and the vfin well silver metal cause it made it pop more than white and add in the rail gun and boom u have the hg destiny spec 2 before they actually released the official spec 2

[@danross1038]

I have an extra hole

[@BioGoji-zm5ph]

The Gelgoog Menace is thee best-looking Gelgoog since the Gelgoog Jager from 0080: War In The Pocket.

[@Matanumi]

People bitch that the head looks too much like a zaku though

[@TheMrSwampert]

Say gelgoog one more time

[@lllXanderlll]

Speaking of the HG UC Gelgoog, I wonder when we'll see an RG of that bad boy ? Seems like they've done an RG of every Char suit except for the Gelgoog which seems a little odd. Maybe they've been holding off for some reason

[@katallica6677]

Maybe they don't want to do grunt suits for real grades anymore? Iirc the last one was Johnny Ridden's Zaku and since then they haven't made any afaik. Even the RG GM and Gouf were just empty promises.

[@lllXanderlll]

@@katallica6677 I didn't realize they had mentioned doing a Gouf or GM. On one hand that's really shocking they haven't done the GM but on the other maybe they were waiting until the RX78-2 RG 2.0 to do a GM since you could technically use the RX78-2 as the base for the GM

[@katallica6677]

@@lllXanderlll I recall them being unveiled at the Gunpla Expo World Tour 2012, but yeah as a grunt enjoyer too I'm kind of sad to see those bunch just be a nothingburger. That is a good idea, though, just buying a GM to put on the 2.0 RG grandaddy lmao

[@zacharyradford5552]

I don’t count re colors.

[@lucasurquiza554]

Every Char suit? Rick Dias and Hyaku Shiki not ringing any bells? *sigh* let me nip this in the bud “that was Quattro Bajeena, not Char”.

[@william95121]

I feel the best part of the Gelgoog Menace is it has the hard points for Wizard Packs. Japanese Builders already slapped on the old Gunner and Blaze packs onto it which look great

[@randonrichardson68]

I was curious about this, I'll definitely be trying out the gunner pack with mine, the old HG zaku warrior unfortunately just isn't a good kit at all by modern standards

[@christophersichler98]

I got the Action Base 7 stands recently as well. Two packs to be specific so four stands in total. I set one up to support my RG TV Wing Gundam and the rest to support my HG Immortal Justice, Rising Freedom, and Wing Zero.

"it's a gel-girl" -mrs.Mecha Gaikotsu april 2024

[@leomoshes2791]

Gelgussy

[@codenameFXX]

cheeky

[@invinitezero]

The gelgoog menace backpack connector are called wizzard connector, its compatible with hg zaku warrior series, hg legend, and cerberus bucue.

[@Map4ch3]

This new kit looks amazing, anime accuracy be damn. I will thoroughly enjoy painting and customising mine

[@Jamil1989]

I almost had a heart attack when I thought it was a Sazabi MGSD from the thumbnail.

[@ZettatheCrimson]

Hope they make a MG of this that I can put next to my Zaku Warrior.

[@jon-erickbulaclac4206]

A nice addition to the monoeye collection indeed! I wish they could make more grunt suits seed ver!

[@Brawler_1337]

Yes. Update the GINN and CGUE, and also reprint the goddamn GOUF Ignited!

[@FatherSonGunpla]

Always nice to start the day with a Gaikotsu build!

[@Simon-hz7jl]

HGCE(F) has delivered once again. Despite all the stickers and color corrections these kits require, they still look so phenomenal without any of them.

[@tomvhresvelg9286]

Virgin HG G-woke and Chad HGCE. C joint is mistake.

[@GR3YD3ATH]

Thanks for the mention that one could make the front skirt independent skirts. Same for the HG Zaku Warrior.. makes it look much better when posing.

[@therest9281]

I really like all the seed freedom line so far you can go crazy with it and the piece doesn't fall off at all that how secure the nuild thoroughly is crazy good but it can be help that it drop in different date wish it drop all at once

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Loving the Lunamaria Hawk Gelgoog, amazing kit! 🚀👌

[@silverman169]

Wow I love the colour and it looks fantastic even without panel lining.

[@deadronin47]

This is one I’m looking forward too I want the base model in old school grey color I’m picking this one up for sure 👍

[@chadmagnus5850]

Loved the UC Gelgoog's design since the first day I saw it on the Gundam wiki and wished they would make more MS or gunpla like it. Now here it is.

[@huntergrant9690]

I first saw that gun holder adapter in the HG Ariel

[@douggoins2960]

I can't wait till this is available in the US. Definitely going to cop 1 or 2 of these

[@catking1705]

That was a nicely design gunpla I would like to get one to try it.

[@armin8306]

This might be my favorite interpretation of the gelgoog, just barely tying with the Jaeger

[@marcosdheleno]

it does remind me of the more agressive design of the jager. almost like a middle of the road between the original and the jager variant.

[@Matanumi]

yo man I always likes the zaku phantom, domain trooper and gouf ignited

[@zaber25]

Mars Jacket tho

[@RoyalCrustle]

In terms of look this is another kit I'd love to paint one day if I get the space for that sort of set-up.

[@char10814]

feel like the actual successor for infinite justice

[@jinnmeijin3967]

Oh boy i can't wait to release this kit to the market and custom it

[@NeoGato2point0]

I thought the reason Mecha was excited about the adaptor was something like sticking two guns together side-by-side

[@icdeadpipol]

I think the action base slot is for the earlier or a custom Action Base. Was building a Zudah and noticed a similar slot which according to the manual it is used for the slot type attachment that came with kits like the Gabthley

[@mila7817]

Didnt the Aerial also have a peg connector like this for the rifle to attach to the back?

[@Muppet567]

Yes, but it didn't flow as well with the design as this one

[@geminas5044]

the flat hole besides the 3mm round hole is probably for using the flat-connector that the action base-2 have (no other action bases has that specific connector except the action base-2 afaik)

[@ethanmb116]

finally mecha. a gelgoog was gonna arrive eventually, and you deliver, pls do mg geloog

[@ProjectKaiGarage33]

Action base 7 has a peg to go on the bottom of HG kits. I have a few of those and love them. Joints are super tight.

[@blender3045]

the hg aerial also comes with the peg for the rifle

[@falcon5391]

I was gonna say that 😂

[@destiny13777]

I saw the movie recently and every mobile suit on the Compass side gets the railgun that comes with this Gelgoog, hopefully Bandai releases it on it's own in an upgrade set because you'd be buying quite a few of these kits to get everyone to be movie accurate lol (there's also an issue where some kits can't hold it though, like the Destiny can't really hold it).

[@dausyahaya]

Coolest Gelgoog ever! I'm betting we'll see Mars and Herbert custom purple Gelgoog as P-Bandai

[@TheMegamaster44]

Personally I am a really big fan of the seed reimagining of zeon designs

[@mr.b89]

Seed geara doga and geara Zulus when

[@bakujin]

Well, Seed Freedom did use a lot of oldies with new designs. I am a big Gelgoog fan but with the currently lined suits, my interest goes towards the newer ones. The Gyan is what I am looking forward to. If they do the Z'gok that might be a nice one.

[@user-yl3mr8ho5b]

About seed, you should look into the HG Blu Duel and compare it with a counterfeit version, as there aren't many differences.

[@shadoukyatto4758]

For the round weapon to square hand what I would do is to use some plastic cement and thicken the round weapon and then let it dry

[@joeyjjmoore]

I LOVE that name.

[@Map4ch3]

As an UC purist I'm loving this redesign Sieg ZEON

[@kristoffermangila]

Zeon soldier: now I wish Zeonic build our Gelgoogs like that! Those Integrated Design Bureau fellas from the CE NAILED it!

[@stefilordofsmugness4108]

You cant throw shade on the OG Gelgoog, that came out in 1979 while this in 2024.

[@thomaswalker9277]

You mentioned that slot in the waist section. Could that be a storage slot of the attachment piece for the weapons?

[@casualgamer1125]

19:30 It actually looks pretty cool with the hand missing

[@batulaut]

Here's hoping hgce for the other mono eye suits like the zaku and gouf. Especially Cgue and Guaiz.

[@ZChael]

Maybe there'll be a Gelgoog Menace Mass Production Type, or is the backpack the same one as Gyan Storm as well?

[@ViolentVioletViolin]

you need to buy like 4 of this kit, since mighty strike freedom uses the gelgoog gun, so is destiny spec 2 and impulse spec 2. but the gun only comes with the gelgoog kit

[@StrikeNoir105E]

inb4 they release an Option Parts set that includes the railgun.

[@BlueItem1]

Holding off on the MC suits until I see the movie, but I think I'll be picking this one up regardless. Maybe the Gyan storm too, both are just way more appealing to me than the usual gundams.

[@JohnnyBurnes]

I can't wait for the Requiem kits. Bandai's killing it!

[@nilenicee]

The only reason I bought this is because it’s Gelgoog and in red and turn out it’s pretty good build😊

[@nicemecha]

I'd be funny if you put on one of these videos, a standard-sized GM Custom and the always bulky Zaku III for size comparison 🤣

[@Bocalt]

Need to know what color the lens of the railgun is for the other ms which use it

[@atlaswells1681]

The peg for the rifle was on the Ariel to attach it to the back

[@SoulstrikerV]

I think I prefer the fully black wings over the color accurate color scheme.

[@SoulstrikerV]

I bet this Gelgoog is gonna get a lot of custom paints based on U.C. models. And then there's this one crazy bro that makes a complete set of Gelgoog Menace in every U.C. Gelgoog family color scheme he's aware of.

[@Lakefront_Khan]

I definitely prefer reviews where you straight build the kit😊

[@GabHowDoI]

18:40 Aerial had the same concept with her gun aswell as the Sinanju

[@TigerLilyBlossom1]

Very cool

[@reijigamer]

I am surprised that it's the SEED Freedom movie the reason why we are getting HGCE "zeon" kits. I was wondering if there will be HGCE DOMs, GOUFs, and ZAKUs

[@gelgoorx]

The hole seems like the one in the 105 dagger mobus mobile armor stand attachment

[@OtonashiV]

The parts count and degree of color separation on the seed freedom HGs are the highest among HG kits. The fact that it's still not enough to be color-accurate is a testament to how stupidly overdesigned the color layouts are for these suits. Bandai just really wants the incredibly thin wing parts to be the most colorful aspect of these kits.

[@miragebangbravern2024]

The only thing I dislike on this kit is the pink, would prefer white but this is more of a design preference. Besides that, it looks great and it kicked ass in the movie.

[@concon09090]

the rating system is such a joke lmao it's fine to say that a kit is pretty good but has some notable issues, which is the case with pretty much every SEED Freedom release so far. how on earth does that keep adding up to the highest conventional tier you can give

[@CoTroll]

Ikr these kits aren’t that good and those sticker sheets for them are huge in comparison to hgtwfm kits for example but still he gives them platinum tier lol

[@concon09090]

@@CoTroll like even Gold i would understand, because the engineering and colour separation on these is pretty impressive, but platinum?? come on man

[@RIP_ACE.A]

i need to know on what was sazabi holding during the comparison

[@PhoenixFyre]

So far this and the knight are the only ones I want.

[@whiteraven1992]

Since I have the MG of Luna's Gunner ZAKU Warrior, I want to wait for the MG of this kit. I'll have to prepare for a _long_ wait, maybe.

[@daedalus25]

I was going to wait for an MG version to display alongside my MG Zaku Warrior as well, but I just recently ended up buying the HG scale Archangel Catapult Deck on sale. So now I need some HG scale mobile suits to go with it! I'll definitely still get an MG version of the Gelgoog Menace when it happens.

[@doomgundam6595]

Idea for a tier in the middle of platinum’s and gundarium Damascus tier

[@The_Duggler25]

That hole will probably be for the strike freedom spec 2

[@joshstreet6819]

Why does it look like the Marasai, Gelgoog and the Ginn got together to make the Seed's Gelgoog?

[@TheShadowSlaughter]

felt like the back-pack is made for gundam, zaku backpack should be heavy and bold

[@irfan-6506]

aerial has that kind of peg for her gun (although it's a different shape)

[@TheTechPoTaToCHIP]

Dude made such a huge hullabaloo about the beam rifle adapter being revolutionary when the HG Arial literally has the exact same thing and he didn’t even make a huge fuss about it back then

[@jacobstrong1494]

We need an RG Gelgoog!

[@wulf8889]

Lmao the HG Aerial had that adapter.

[@arnelarroyo2032]

is it compatible with the old Wizard packs?

Hi mecha gaikotsu, I need your help on something. I have a hg grimoire rdled beret with both hands broken. I was thinking of buying the diver extra hands kit but I don't know what size the models hands are. Your help will be much appreciated

[@_Agent_Adam]

the extra hands set comes with three different sizes; just choose the one you think looks best

[@ammonesadventures6977]

@@_Agent_Adam thanks! getting the large size ones

[@StrikeNoir105E]

The pain that UC Gelgoog lovers feel is nowhere near the amount of pain GuAIZ lovers feel for not even having a decent kit made of it for the last 20 years.

[@OtonashiV]

The HGUC Gelgoog and Gelgoog Cannon were pretty good HGs for their time. Obviously not going match the quality of a modern HG double their MSRP, but they'd probably satisfy anyone wanting an HG Gelgoog. It seems like when Bandai tries to be more ambitious with their kits (like with the seed freedom kits thus far), some people feel more disappointed than if they tried less hard with the designs. The HGUC Gelgoog kit isn't nearly as ambitious, but it's solid and still holds up fairly well as a result.

[@jayempreem]

It shouls be Gundamdarium Tear here if the back pack is compatible to EG Strike Gundam and Windam etc. and with open hands lol

[@ishiggidiggi]

"Its a Gel-Girl" LMAOOOOOOO

[@bikershark9]

I love the Seed villain suits. The designs are so cool EDIT I haven't seen SEED Freedom yet and assumed the monoeye meant baddie

[@Ratchet4483]

I have to correct you on that. Gelgoog Menace is one of the protagonists Mobile Suits. The villain Mobile Suits in SEED Freedom are Black Knight Squad.

[@christian03y]

Lunamaria is villain??????

Im waitint for the release of the Cal-re.A. Hopefully they dont make it a P-Bandai Release.....but if they do, hopefully it has gold plated parts instead of gold mold injection like they did with the HG Strike Freedom Wings of Light DX version.

[@epyongames415]

hopefully it also isnt sticker heavy, but based on the design i have little faith in that.

[@Matanumi]

Calraea should be standard release.... The rest of the black knights may be p bandai though

[@rviejohn]

Maybe that slit hole is for Action Base 2.
