MG Gundam GP01 - Gunpla in 1997? (4K)

[@GeremyG]

All of the Stardust Memory MGs desperately need 2.0’s.

[@itsmepamz2477]

I seconded this. Absolutely need 2.0 with great frame like the RX-78 and Zaku II, but with engineering on nowaday kits.

[@AjaxJP]

We also need a Gerbera Tetra MG

[@bootlegyoumufumo4632]

I need the MG GP02 2.0 so bad. It's a pretty popular Gundam but Bandai just ignore that fact and ignore MG fans nowadays

[@dus_stertzum]

even the HGs, for their age they even looked very detailed

[@rizqizen4528]

@@bootlegyoumufumo4632 nowadays, normal MG release pretty rare My thoughts is, they want to make mgex with older kits

[@redheadphones6]

Hey, thanks for watching! Older Gunpla are a lot of fun, even with their usual need for paint. Let me know if you liked this longer video too, or if you prefer shorter videos. Instagram - instagram.com/redheadphones6/ Twitter - twitter.com/redheadphones6

I’m just happy to watch whatever you put out.

[@TheVanillaQueen]

Definitely like the longer videos

[@alexharvey8291]

You have a really great format for short videos but its just as good for longer ones too!

[@ParmMannREBORN]

In general anything works, your videos are a joy to watch. I do enjoy the longer, more thorough videos though

Hey man can u do a review on Mgex blast mode destiny gundam it was my favorite gundam but it has no appeal as a MG, i know it has many issues but can u do it for me plz cuz i luv how u make a review can u give it a nc review 😢 I'm from the Philippines i luv seed destiny gunplas.. ❤❤❤

I always love your old-MG reviews. You explore every single aspect of it with respect (even though it's outdated) and not just saying that the kit is old and it's shit. I truly want you to keep reviewing old MGs. If you ran out of Gundam MGs, try the old Zeon Suit MGs. They should serve you well 👍

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks! That's totally the vibe I'm going for, so it's awesome that it's coming through. These older kits can be a lot of fun, so I hope these kinds of videos can get more people interested in them!

[@SamRK-1000]

I agree. There’s a lot to be respected from older kits, they have a much simpler build and can be a lot of fun if you’ve been stuck building super complex Ver Ka’s or MGs like Wing Zero or Eclipse. That’s how I felt after building the 1.5 RX782. It was a relaxing and low stakes build experience.

nice to see you upload again, i love these chill reviews compared to other youtubers who are way too hyped. great pick too, i love that i have the RG in progress on my desk to compare

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks! Yeah, that real grade looks awesome. Part of me wants to pick one up to compare to this MG.

[@Killdust99]

1:38 holy hell I’m glad that shoulder/bicep design didn’t stick around. So many kits would have floppy arms if that were still the standard

[@tapsilogic]

I'd love to work on this kit as a full paint job. I wonder if there are third-party waterslides for it? 20:29 Bandai should make extra V-fins (and other fragile components) a standard part of every kit, or at least include them as metal components.

[@mojave9883]

The wait for videos is always worth the time. 😎

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks!

[@AmonGus-ug9sp]

This is one of the best reviews for this kit, it is unfortunate that it is often overlooked due to it's age. The GP01 is such a cool design and a Ver. Ka would be pretty epic.

[@kioskhill]

Honestly, a longer video from you like this is a dream come true. I always end up binging your reviews, and since you always go more in depth than other reviewers, I always wish that there were more or that they were longer. I'd love to see that MG V2 Ver ka covered in this much detail. Anyways, love the reviews, keep up the good work!

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks! I'm stoked people are cool with this longer video. I used to spend so much time cutting stuff out thinking it'd bore people lol The MG V2 Ver Ka is on my shelf right now. Trying to decide between that and the Sazabi ver KA.

[@Julian-nu4bx]

Wow! There's not a ton of reviews of the old 0083 MG's with high quality footage like this, so I've always been hesitant to buy one as I'm not sure what they'd look like built and detailed up. This video is much appreciated! It actually doesn't look that bad, once it's got the paint on.

[@redheadphones6]

Yeah, it's kinda surreal seeing a kit that was released back when VHS was still going strong, in 4K 16:9 lol. It really puts these older kits in a new light, and hopefully gets people to try some of these classic kits.

As always excellent work, always dig seeing these older kits and your approach/expertise always lend to very fair and informative reviews. Watching through all these got me to pick up a copy of the Guncannon and my shop regularly stocks the Kampfer and I want to give that one a shot as well.

[@redheadphones6]

That's awesome, great picks! There are some real gems from back in the day.

[@theIconstable]

@@redheadphones6 Same here in regards to the Guncannon, a couple months ago I remembered your review of it and decided to grab it up along with the Guntank.

[@Socra_Finger]

Hey man, I've always thought that your reviews on Gunpla are best out of the whole internet, not to be dramatic but its true. Your videos are very professional and not boring or annoying. I've watched all your videos and always come to the conclusion that i want to watch more :) I love your simple suggestion modeling techniques, especially using the pink Gundam marker for the mono eye, i've used the technique on my Gouf MG 2.0 and looks amazing! I love to see more zeong kits as "zaku's are cooler". I adore your work and hope to see more in the future!

[@Woundwort-c3t]

A lot of the old MGs at the time were probably based on the redesigns by Katoki (Zeta 1.0 is a prominent example) in order to make them more viable to make model kits out of, and they were not supposed to be anime/original-design accurate.

the return of the king

[@SamRK-1000]

I could watch your videos all day, man! I love your reviews so much. Lots of people look at old MGs as useless and trashy but I have a huge soft spot in my heart for these older kits. I built the MG RX-78-2 1.5 after doing a complex build (RG Hi-Nu) and I fell in love with the simplicity. I love to paint my kits and put my work into them, so these old MGs give me a lot of enjoyment from the hobby. It’s so useful to have someone who doesn’t dismiss these kits, and your reviews are factual and relaxed, and you aren’t beholden to a monetization schedule where you have to pump out reviews, so you spend more time building your kits (in the Hi-Nu review you mentioned how the decals fell of after a month of handling, even after top-coating and setter, which proves you don’t buy just to review). Keep doing what your doing Red :)

Holds up a bit better than I expected, it is weird though this suit keeps getting passed over for a 2.0/katoki treatment, it's one of the more recognizable suits especially in the west thanks to the toonami airing of 0083.

Straight up, if you're willing to put in the extra love, this kit can be BEAUTIFUL. I picked it up about a year ago because it was really cheap at my local shop and because of that I wasn't afraid to paint it up and it's now one of my favorite builds!

[@Map4ch3]

@@connor___ the cheap factor is crucial. I'm not in a position where I can constantly buy kits so having one that could take me more than one day is huge for me xD. Sometimes you get home from work and there's nothing like drink a beer while doing some cleaning or painting.

This particular kit had a lot more than most, but one thing I really appreciate about your reviews is how you point out all the areas that need painting. I don't fully paint my kits, but I do like to correct any areas that aren't color accurate, as well as adding decals, top coat, and some light weathering. It's great having someone who actually points out all the areas that need attention. I'm always paranoid that I'll miss something.

[@redheadphones6]

Thanks! Yeah, the painting locations are a lot of fun to list out, even when the list is 10 minutes long like in this video lol

[@itsmepamz2477]

Thanks for the review! This kit desperately need 2.0 treatment. Yes, it is outdated. But the appearance is quite good. Unfortunately, it needs too much work for bring out its full potential. If there is still no news about the 2.0 of this kit in the future, maybe I'll try the RG. Although I personally prefer 1/100 over 1/144. But, great and nicely detailed review as always! 👍

Hey, new fan here. Been watching your reviews and they are so helpful. Not many people review the kits you've reviewed (especially the old school kits). Have you reviewed the MG Accguy yet? I've been thinking about getting that kit but im not too sure if its good or not.

[@tanukizzy]

Stardust Memory needs a Ver.KA kit so badly, it's insane that they haven't even bothered with a 2.0 at all yet. Ultimately, the ones that we do have still look nice. Even the G Gundam MG's of this time still look nice, despite the build being abysmal by today's standards. Still really like seeing reviews of these sorts of kits though, and the idea of detail parts in the box is something that I wouldn't mind seeing more of, maybe just in the form of parts for an optional build of a section.

[@2010ngojo]

Just built mine. The shield can be fairly loose, but I just have to push it together hard enough and it stays pretty secure. Not bad for a pre 2000 kit.

[@NebLleb]

Honestly, I think the High grade is the way to go here, mainly because despite its age, it's actually one of the more impressive early High Grades. Now if only I had a Real Grade to complete the trifecta...

[@sanictheedgehog]

Honestly looks like a pretty fun kit. The Guncannon and the Ver Ka RX 78 2 master grades were fun to do some touching up with gundam markers. This looks like it needs a lot of effort, but that's what makes it fun. Only thing that worries me is that a lot of these kits floating around right now are possibly older prints with older plastic and aged stickers, making the eye sticker maybe not stick as well as it should. Eye painting is a real pain.

[@Jan_Iedema]

Now that I’ve finally caught a video that isn’t six years old . I’d like to ask: have you built the MG zeong? Because I personally think it’s one of my favourites right now even with all the required screws. And it’s criminally underrepresented on KZbin with barely any video coverage.

[@redheadphones6]

I'd love to get that kit. Pretty sure it's the last Char suit I need to complete the One Year War collection. Hoping I can find one at a good price some time.

[@Avast3]

[@staticdescent4769]

i would reccomend picking up a clear green paint for sensors that come in clear plastic, it looks so much better than normal green

[@tver]

These old Startdust Memory MGs are essentially “Ver. Ka(toki)” versions of the original Shoji Kawamori designs of the GP01 and the GP02. Katoki did the redesigns for the MG kits, but they aren’t official “Ver.Ka” releases. Katoki also designed the GP03 for the anime, so that’s a “Ver.Ka” in all but name, by default. The same goes with the GM type C, which not incidentally shares a lot of parts with the MG RX-78-2 Gundam “Ver.Ka” kit.

[@mikhailarcade3254]

Old Master Grades or MG 1.0 is fun to built regardless of bad articulation and limited poses they had. I'm a fan of building 1/144 HGs but when I build MG GM Ground Type, I said it looks like the Latest Updated Version of High Grades in terms of overall reviews but I Realize that Building Old MG's is like you are travelling at time machine 😁😁
