Progenitor Effect: Jingwei - MoShow x Hobby Mecha Review!

[@First-Name_Last-Name]

You've heard of Cocaine Bear Now witness Cocaine Bael.

[@theflawedkid]

I love the head design and how dynamic the wings are of this mecha. Sucks that some parts are missing though.

[@nadzilla6981]

its nice that you review other brands aside from bandai... lots of new brands with great kits out now worth checking out...

[@morsoe1]

Whoo, loving these vids showcasing other brands aside from bandai! Please do more!

[@adherentofladycolumbia725]

It's amazing to see new brands come out

[@itsdantaylor]

SUPER excited for this figure. Seems to be a star of a 1:100 line of Moshow. They are going to re-release their Shingen Takeda and Masamune date in the scale as well which I think will mesh better with other more common robot models/figures

[@jejemonbuster1892]

this is really nice kinda reminds me of Sky Defender by einta indistries speaking off did the absolute behemoth gets in your radar, are we expecting you to review it soon?

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Loving the Jingwei, MoShow really outdid themselves! 🤖👍

[@vustvaleo8068]

speaking of IBO and The Five Star Stories I heard from Japanese reviewers saying the Gundam Bael looks like a Mortar Headd from TFSS than a Mobile Suit from the Gundam series in terms of design aesthetic.

[@Lloyd991P]

Omggg this looks like a Fusion of Gundam Bael and Strike Freedom 😮😮

[@Ryogasempai]

Remind me raxephon mecha

[@barbatosrex9473]

December 2025 release !!?? That's a long wait time...or is it a print mistake on the site?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah should be 2024 lol

[@HYPER_COSMIXX]

Looks like a bael crossed with the hi nu and strike freedom😅

[@francislucero5388]

2:26 a Barbatos pose 😁

[@kimfunclara3826]

Is it taller than the Takeda Shingen or Date Masamune?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Smaller.

[@depshallburn]

1/72 vs 1/100 iirc

[@KGLFPLUSHPRODUCTIONS]

How the hell does anyone maneuver Moshow’s website, is there a way to set it to English?

[@truthchanMSV]

Moshow's stuff looks so high quality but I just can't find it in me to buy something that I'll just plop on my shelf and leave there.

[@dubborino979]

They're great to have near your desk and pose around although not everyone is like that. Moshow has such supremely awesome quality and I know I'm being a shill hut their products are kickass and with how much stuff is in the box 200-ish bucks isn't bad whatsoever.

[@truthchanMSV]

It's moreso that I've bought enough figures - mostly 1/12 stuff like figmas - over the years, and it all just becomes clutter eventually. I still consider it though, a local shop has had the Masamune from moshow on display and it's always tempting lol

[@dubborino979]

@@truthchanMSV i have that issue too, hope you can figure it out lol

[@ninjatango]

That's what you've done with all your gunpla anyway.

[@truthchanMSV]

@@ninjatango No, because with gunpla, you build it. You put care into it. Each one has a story behind it, especially when you're newer to the hobby. It's not the same with figures, even if they look nicer out of box.

[@qrullgx13]

Even if it was an early production sample, having missing parts is just ridiculous. Especially something major like the side of the face.🤦‍♂️

[@ifossilch3882]

Hey, sorry to be that guy, but this isn't Progenitor Effect. it is from moshow, but Progenitor Effect is a different IP.

[@jaykaye3482]

Looks like the EW Wing Gundam fkd the Hi-Nu!

[@MuShinnen]

Outside of the literal wings and color scheme it has nothing else in common with either of those designs.

[@Mc-Derpulous]

@@MuShinnenso you just conceded his point… it has familiar traits of both parent units. Kinda like you know, how a child exhibits traits from a mothers side and fathers. Ie his nose looks like mom, but dads eyebrows are prominent. Simple biology.

[@MuShinnen]

@@Mc-Derpulous No. Their point was that it looks like both units smashed together. It looks like neither. Plenty of Mecha have wings, and plenty more have a blue and white colour scheme. Also comparing biology to a mech design is beyond goofy. This thing literally shares no real tangible connections to either design, and it could be ruled completely coincidental. You tried though.

[@jaykaye3482]

@Mc-Derpulous - correct 100%.@@MuShinnen No then I would have said it looks like both units smashed together...wing arranngment is similar to wing gundam as is chest and head design, the circular golden joints, colour scheme, top of wing, red decals, ankle design very very similar to Hi-Nu. Could be completely coincidental assuming the designer has no knowledge of mecha at all as both designs are iconic...youre not the designer are you? Cause youre defending this pretty hard....not that it even matters, all art being imitation...now explain why and how comparing mecha design to biology is "beyond goofy"...let me first suggest you look up definitions for "simile"...and do you mean goofy like using the term "literal"" wings or does the mecha have figurative wings you needed to differentiate from?....theres always someone who is not as smart as they think they are..."you tried though". 🤭

[@MuShinnen]

@@jaykaye3482 I'm not reading all of this just so you can justify a weird combination of things that don't actually fit a design for a toy.

[@mcrxviii7456]

why do they always over design mechs, every time I see a MoShow release it looks like a mechanized porcupine.

[@JJTheDev]

Moshow Wuchenghou is very much a "not a gundam" design with very few spikey parts. It's also my favourite one lol.

[@derpolcu]

i mean, it's the style of the line. it's ok not to like it, but it's not "overdesigned", it's designed just fine for what it's meant to be

[@JJTheDev]

@@derpolcu I'll also add, after looking back, moshow designs are actually very rarely if ever porcupine like. that design aspect probably came from the hobby mecha side of this release. proof of this is just looking at the other progenitor effect mecha that are purely moshow: the Japanese ones have a samurai look with a bit of edge, the chinese wucheng has basically no edges, and the Lancelot is like the samurai, just a bit. so wondering why op is singling out moshow on this? p sure they are in this collab because of their supply line more than anything

[@mcrxviii7456]

@@derpolcu their style is just to piggy back and profit from the existing IP, just like other third-party chinese companies redesigning mobile suits like the recent sazabi-barbatos esque model kit.

[@mcrxviii7456]

@@JJTheDev i might have confused moshow from mecha core industry and Era Plus cause their design are very much alike

[@Corveux]

That's just bael

[@neilwood5081]

👍👍👍👍

[@sharingansasuke5]

This one wins the competition for most uninspired design methinks

[@ZakuAurelius]

It’s interesting. But I do also feel like these Chinese manufacturers are kind of flooding the market too much with these (roughly) 1/100 scale model kits and figures. Quality aside, the gap to fill while Bandai isn’t making new MGs is large but not that large.

[@sharingansasuke5]

@@ZakuAurelius I liked ones such as the judge or hunt & kill, but some of the completely “original” designs feel a bit overdone to me honestly. This one isn’t that bad the more that I look at it, it’s growing on me. Like a knight x Angel x ninja?

[@depshallburn]

I think it's their best one after the original Takeda Shingen tbh and really wish it was a kit. Moshow needs to pull the Motor Nuclear.

[@gabrielchin4161]

​@@depshallburnright? So many good mecha designs out there but I can't justify a more expensive figure. Especially when I can get a model kit or transformer and get more out of a single purchase.

[@nicemecha]

Looks like AI designed this..

[@danyloboiko9011]

EEWWWW, a pre-built figure? the irony, please, just joking
