RAISE YOUR FLAG! - Master Grade MG Gundam Barbatos Review

[@MechaGaikotsu]

All the 8-bit Iron Blooded Orphans music in this video is by the awesome Studio Megaane. If you like anime and 8-bit like I do, you'll LOVE his channel and he's so kind for letting me use it! 😁😁😁 kzbin.info/door/L6B3WVcVHJvU2YSF-i-oUg Also grab one of these for yourself here at HLJ: shop.hlj.com/2Eys6NE And while I'm pumping out links here I'll mention that I'm $1800 out of $4000 towards my goal of upgrading the channel to 4K video, so if you want to help make that happen then you can do so over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/MechaGaikotsu

[@thegathman]

Sir I hope you do not think me being disrespectful or rude, but I feel the need to ask you a question. I have noticed there seem to be a quickly growing number of Gundarium grade kits. Are you worried that maybe your standards are falling? Once more I mean no disrespect, I'm just genuinely curious.

[@zeigald]

@@thegathman look at it the other way around. Bandai keeps upping their game with every new Gunpla release. Mecha's standards aren't dropping, Bandai's quality just keeps getting better.

26 Gundam frames left after the calamity war, unless they decide to do all 72.

[@chanbricks4461]

Bandai: Has a frame that can be easily reused for multiple different kits and mobile suits that are beloved by fans Also Bandai: Does nothing more with it after Barbatos

[@vayalond7203]

Yeah, that's even the main thing in IBO designs: all Gundams have the same Frame, so selling MG at the MG price who all share the same inner Frame so no need of new mold or anyhting, using the exact same even in color for like 2-3 wholes runners for a possible 72 differents kits who looks gorgeous, are fan favorites too would have been easy profits

[@takonoko1743]

There's still hope something new will come out at least next year, a movie version of Urdr Hunt (with hopefully a lot of new scenes to fill the gaps after the game went EoS) is in the works as we speak. Many HG kits are also suspiciously being massively restocked in August and September this year in Japan too...

Well IBO kits are going to be better by default. The way the suits work in IBO means anime accurate kits need to be far better than their average fair

[@henmar354]

I really want the Valkyrie frame. Such a unique take on the red enemy mobile suit. I would be fine with a Vidar, Grimgerde, Kimaris and gusion rebake full city. Also a Flauros in white would be great. Just give us a MG of all the HGs damnit. The iron blooded orphans line made me interested in gundam again.

[@ryujokatagiri7019]

I imagine Mikazuki just having Barbatos use the gun as a secondary mace more than an actual ranged weapon.

[@orionparish9858]

Here's what I love more about the kit. The inner frame works so well because all the Gundams in Iron-Blooded Orphans used the same inner frame to build the mobile suit. Once that was done, they individualized each one into the Gundams we know while keeping the inner frame the same between them. It's why Guison and Barbatos were able to upgrade as they did. Evolve and adapt. And since there were 72 Gundam Frames built during the Calamity War, and how many we say in the anime, more are coming in the future.

[@devlce33]

Lupus and Lupus Rex wouldn't probably be PBandai if decided to drop those versions. What i think would be P-Bandai is Barbatos with all the parts to make all forms from first launch to 6th Form. Would've been nice if the Full Mechanics parts of shwalbe graze and standard graze can be equipped with the MG to complete the variants (except the 6th Form) cause i doubt they'll make an MG version of those. We'll probably see an MG of: Barbatos Lupus Barbatos Lupus Rex Bael Kimaris Vidar or an option to convert to Pbandai Vidar Gusion Rebake Full City And just to throw it out there: Gundam Astaroth/Origin

@@PPPeepeepoopoo RGs are like MGs in HG's scale with really good detail, have gimmicks, and very colour accurate. Id recommend staying away from older RG kits bcs theyre not solid and gets loose. And we should expect RG barbatos to have great details, solidity, and articulation bcs the last couple of RGs are really good

[@bucketeer7087]

@@PPPeepeepoopoo RGs are supposed to capture what the gundam would look like in real life, really high in detail and the articulations are really good.

@@PPPeepeepoopoo try RG Nu Gundam and RG Sazabi. You'll have some best days of your life :D

@@xtrimfuse after 9 months from my initial comment on my comment, ive taken a huge interests in Gundam :D im planning to get the MGEX Unicorn soon and Nu Gundam is also in my list too :D thankss for the explanation all of you :p

[@amixedbag5964]

if I were to recommend a paint for putting behind clear parts I'd say the Tamiya flat aluminum it's just really shiny and great for dry brushing

[@buppy985]

I know this comment is old, but I've actually been looking to do this for a while ever since I built mine a couple months ago, thank you for giving that recommendation I'll be sure to grab that! The dullness of the pink parts that weren't the shoulders was the only disappointment in this kit.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

The IBO Gundams were designed with the premise that they use a single, common frame, both in lore and on the model kits. Having the MG Gundam Frame set up means they can pump out whatever they want faster in the future, from the Gusion Rebake, to the Kimaris, to the Vidar, to the Bael, to the Flauros, etc. Also missed a couple of articulation points for the MG Barbatos here: the upper cockpit hatch actually slides forward for access, much like in the show, and the wrist has a third point of articulation that allows it to flex forward and backward (aka ulnar and radial flexion for the anatomically correct minded) that you don't see from many kits without the use of a ball joint. You even show off the latter movement in the final standing pose with the right hand, yet never mention it in the articulation review.

[@zeigald]

It's a pretty common issue with most of the reviewers regarding the MG Barbatos; no one seems to mention the lateral wrist bend.

[@AbsoluteMongoloid]

Now that you mention it, wouldn't a ball joint in the waist be worse for Flauros' transformation? Bandai might've made a better choice in that regard.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

@@AbsoluteMongoloid A noticeable trend in Bandai's recent gunpla is that for more recent advanced grades (i.e. RG's and MG's), they tend to avoid using ball joints as much as possible, only leaving them in a couple of places like say the wrist or the neck, and even then they're finding ways to eradicate them altogether, as can be seen with the MG Barbatos. You only ever see major ball joints in High Grades nowadays.

Keep em coming man ...well I'm watching old vids but yet another video that gives me all the info I need to make a well informed purchase 👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@KylenPhylar]

"What's better than a Gundam with a sword? Nothing!" Excuse Y- "Except a giant mace that is!" You are forgiven. I'm really hoping for a MG Lupus Rex, but that's because I'm weird. I'll likely still pickup this one once I'm done with other large expenditures. I do look forward to a future video going over how it ages, given that seems to be a bit of an issue these days, as shown by the old 1/100 and the HiRE

[@tenzingsamdup]

Conrgrats on the 200k! Kit looks great too!

[@zeigald]

It drives me crazy how no reviewer, including Mecha, shows/mentions the secondary wrist bend.

[@realCharAznable]

Yep! And no one even seems to notice the drastic redesign of the head.

[@ChappyLips]

I'm back here after 3ish years. I finally got it and damn, it was worth the wait!

Another fantastic review, your review really shows just how superior this is to the last releases! Considering how many new fans IBO earned with the show coming out on Netflix, timing is just perfect.

[@plushcrochet8719]

Totally the Demon King of Gundarium Tier gunpla.

[@Shhhhh776]

Glad i stayed away from the hi res kits and waited for a true master grade of this kit

[@samuelnavarro6343]

Do a best gunpla of 2019!!!!

[@nguyenquoctoan6354]

I planned to keep my MG Barbatos in the closet till I get my hand on the Expansion Pack, but watching this video really makes me want to build it. RIGHT NOW!!!

[@scizorlord5126]

I feel like they'll probably include an Orga figure when they make a Lupus, and maybe an Atra or Kudelia with the Lupus Rex.

[@makeshift307]

The expansion pack coming this December is going to have orga in it, so I imagine that they might include atra and kudelia in expansion kits for the other forms, I think it would be neat to have them all, but it wouldn’t be a big deal to me if we just get orga and the pilots for the individual gundams.

[@amberknight4495]

I bought mine online yesterday and it should arrive within a few days! It will be my first gundam and I can't wait to start building it! :D
