SD EX Standard Sazabi Review - Hobby Clubhouse | Char's Counterattack Gundam Model and Gunpla

[@slayer01madness83]

Sound good. 👍 The only reason I would get this kit is for a kitbash that I planning with the RG and HG Sazabi.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Wanted to let you know your tip on the audio also helped me find out the previous F90 video had the same problem too! Seems like changing to using speakers for editing wasn't a good idea:) You're a brave soul to kit bash the RG Sazabi with it being a sliding puzzle...

Im happy to see this review up. I started at the SDEX line. Great video

[@HobbyClubhouse]

So the line really did succeed in bringing in new fans, I always suspected that was one reason Bandai made it

[@michaeljohnsingun1616]

@@HobbyClubhouse truly since I had friends who began with either SDEX or SDBB

​​@@michaeljohnsingun1616 interesting. If I was introduced with SDEX I would never touch gunpla again. I started with MG and PG so I fell in love with all the detail and gimmicks. Only recently I got my first SDEX aerial and it was a rather annoying experience. Compared to SD Cross Silhouette or BB Senshi there's barely any detail and 80% of the build was one of the most annoying thing in gunpla - applying stickers. The design and proportions also look kinda off compared to SD kits from the other line. SDEX feels like a bootleg or as if it's design was outsourced somewhere abroad. I've no idea how worse quality and design can help bring new fans. I'd rather pay 220 yen more and buy a proper SDCS or BB Senshi instead

choice for people who want some more paint finish to make it look obvious realistic than the out of box one. and for me SDcs price is at the same to old 1/144 kits and that makes a desicion harder to decide giving it a try . we would chosse either collect most realistic models either 1/144 1/100 or SD. very fews would collcect both in same amount. so this is another good series they offer us. i just gave 12hours + to finish the nu gundam SDEX . i often spend about 8-9hours on average 1/144 kits. so this SDEX requires more effort to give it the best finish. i spent 12hours + to detail color 1/144 hy goog. that model requires more effort than average ones. and older kits need more work to vanish the nibs. and i kinda enjoy those a little harder work. because it makes me feel better at the finish point.

[@Soulgain15]

I love it, I want to see the nu gundam sdex next please

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I think I will do it, though from what I saw on the box, it won't be as nice as the Sazabi

[@Soulgain15]

Nice! Thank you

[@joshmcgootermier2301]

Spending sooooo much time painting this thing. Actually really enjoy this kit but filling in spaces like on the backpack isn’t my strong point.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

The fuel tanks were more troublesome than I expected when I filled in mine, but I'll take that backpack over hollow legs any day...

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

I have never built a sd kit and just bought this one since its the only one I could afford on amazon 🥲

[@HobbyClubhouse]

I suppose the Sazabi is still the least primative of the EX Standard kits, if that's any consolation :')

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

@@HobbyClubhouse I wish they would make good sd kits with no hollow gaps and color separation and make them as tall as the sdcs kits

[@hhoop3876]

Might try to find this and put the funnels on the HG

[@mrd2392]

Can thw kit put on the cs frame? I plan to buy this

[@muffintosay5125]

Still waiting for that companion vid

Sorry my man, there's a chance I may have to cancel that build video, but it's not quite set in stone yet

[@HobbyClubhouse]

Man I'm really feeling the heat, that's the biggest hole in my library so far. No it's actually still not cancelled, but the kit itself is waiting to be painted. All the paint prep work is done

[@YeaLike13days]

I have this gundam before 2024.

[@BansheeNT-D]

Nice review. 👍 But what a huge downgrade from the BB Senshi Sazabi....

[@Enlapanlima]

Man, if only this was SDCS. Why Bandai still bother with this line is confusing to me.

[@HobbyClubhouse]

You and me both. There are many ideas floating around, like these are kits the Chinese plant had finished before, or that Chinese side still wants to try and make the line work. And yes, I've loved every SDCS release so far, so if only this was SDCS too...
