[@rickstein3479]

FYI: The Stargazer Gundam was never meant for combat, but was meant for space exploration and a testing machine for the voiture lumiere system, thus the theory why the nepteight weapons was unamed.

[@msn-04sazabi5]

Maybe it also has a defense mechanism equipment like the Stargazer

[@Cornchips-om5rf]

Actually, the hand things are titled "beam guns" but there's no name for the backpack

[@jonathansalim751]

Dunno why, but i think it would be on defensive role 😂

[@raiser5873]

Well remember Eve saying that she want to travel the universe? Stargazer was meant for that so it make sense it is the last armor

[@andrianbdi224]

I think hiroto will trapped in eldora and use nepteight to return to earth

[@StudioHappyboy]

I’m guessing the “rushed” character bio on the side is a side effect of having to avoid spoilers pertaining to the plot with Hiroto and Eve

[@bit0016]

Agreed. This kit is from a "toy comercial" anime. Bandai and Sunrise may have expected us to actually watch the show and then buy the toys/kits. That's why they avoid spoilers as much as possible.

[@ailehunter]

They're likely going to release this kit again somewhere along the line (The Silver looking variant without any stickers from it looks like) and probably effect parts because whynot.

[@noonethatspecial]

Didn't help that the show itself was delayed for obvious reasons.

Yeah this whole review bugged me

[@Levian-we4zg]

Yeah, this review had honestly been one of the worst reviews in a while and felt incomplete and nitpicky, so I couldn’t get a good feel for the gunpla due to it. I feel like Mecha should have delayed this one and to settle down on his emotions for the Core Gundam II and released the review with a more calm mind set.

[@Levian-we4zg]

Tesla-Effect Yes that is a flaw in the new line, however this review was specifically about the new Nepeight Gundam and it was spent mostly talking about the Core Gundam II and barely about the Nepeight Armor itself. Making it unclear how much how good or bad the Nepeight itself actually is.

[@KyanbuXM]

@@Levian-we4zg Because not much changed. It's pretty much you're typical core Gundam Armor. So he didn't have much to say that hasn't been said before.

[@carloli.1108]

Bandai needs to release all the core gundam versions and the all the system units in one big box

[@Lockehart1289]

I second that... I mean if we take the pricing of the kits Core Gundam 1 $9 ( based on earth three's price of 17 - armor at the low end of 8) Core Gundam 2 $12 (based on uraven 20 -8 for armor) Planet armors roughly $8-9 each (64-72) Planet weapons which I'm gonna say 7( so 56) as I see them go for 6.99 you're looking at an estimate of $143 -151usd This is leaving out any other armors like the rize this soley the planet armors. And knowing bandai they will make it p bandai so maybe add another 25 to 50 dollars so little over 200 dollars

I think the reason why core gundam 2 might be so flimsy is because of all the extra bulk it has to support. The older armor systems where mostly more slim and sleek (except for veetwo and jupitive) but now these 3 newer armors are really bulky and maybe through excessive posing and articulation the joints got a lot weaker than core Gundam. But I don’t know that’s just my theory and it might be wrong cause the unarmored core Gundam 2 also seems fairly flimsy

When I built the second one, I left some of the nubs sticking out on those polycaps and it seems to have tightened things up a fair deal.

I was very excited you reviewed this so early, i was very excited about this design because it looks great. Now I'm sad... By the way, in the Stargazer OVA, which this design is based on, the Voiture Lumiere system creates these little green ring things around it that will destroy anything that comes close enough, so i guess you could call that a weapon. Stargazer wasn't designed for combat to begin with though, in the OVA it took a civilian Astray's beam pistol.

[@ToyRanno]

My Core Gundam 2 is still solid, the only problem I had out of the box was that new shield that you also complained about in the Uraven review. However a little super glue to the sides of the pegs it uses to connect and now it's like a rock. I think because they made CG2 have a ball jointed torso instead of a peg in hole design made some kits weaker

I just got the Uraven and hearing these concerns for the core Gundam two. I did exactly that and I can say it works very well much more solid and enjoyable to pose or mess around with.

I'm about to get a core Gundam 2 and I'm praying that it's not going to be flimsy

[@ZestyZaku]

Watched this to get ideas of how to pose this monstrosity. Try to make him not look crucified ! Every flimsy bit was exactly what I experienced... like an hour ago. Hell, I screamed when you clicked the armors rings in. My exact thought of, oh, it clicked into something

[@fujitora1457]

VOITURE LUMIERE its used to sustain the AVALANCHE REX BUSTER of Valkylander as their laser propulsion system to get on space with gundam thrusts. 😊😊

Now i feel super glad that i train my metalic painting skill couse i dont want to waste that totaly awesome desighn

[@rafsolo]

Good core Gundam. Never letting you down. He's always got your back bro!

[@balgus82]

My Core 2 definitely has the lose torso issue, but my legs are pretty solid and don't wobble.

[@jonah3936]

i was just thinking about how i was waiting for this review this morning!!

[@diabolos5382]

Sadly you missed a transformation the bottom peace pulls down. Also I need to get another eraththree gundam so I'm gonna to parts crash core gundam and core gundam mk2 and see if I can save mk2 because I love his design but it has a lot of flaws, I do like thenewhands though

[@RyoAnimations]

4:49 Well you gotta wait till next January till they release the Core Gundam MK2 Titans Color and the G3 color (both are just Core Gundam without a planet Sistem)

[@goblindotbest]

Loved seeing the other core gundams in these armours you really teased me there mecha lol

[@ChimkenBoigur]

Are the first five planet system armors compatible with core gundam 2

[@trd42]

Man! You gave me a good laugh at this review!!! Maybe after the anime, bandai will release a core 2 gundam itself!! So im waiting for that one...

[@HybrydATP64]

Lol the leg went in seamlessly as he was saying it wouldn’t and bam the shock in his face

[@doublegdesigns5072]

Nice review! Love your videos!

[@TheVocaloid00Gundam]

Lay tissue paper in the ball joint sockets that will tighten it up nicely without risking any superglue accidents

[@ExS-2001]

biggest thing that I can recommend to fix the problems of the Core 2 Gundam is to basically cover the bottom waist polycap with a generous amount of tack, and for the legs, i personally took the ankle sections from my standard Core Gundam that broke, but a healthy amount of glue should work too.

[@ranggawira27]

so hey dude, ehh what does your weapon do actually? hiroto: ah it just crucify me and absorb the solar power, literally burning myself and make me open to enemy attack

[@cynthiagonzalez7023]

I'm assuming that it can use the Stargazer's energy ring barrier.

[@HidaAtarasi]

MG seems to be having a Jobby moment...or two. Core Gundam II is exhausted from having to model all the 2gen Planet Armors by himself.

[@dnatal09]

Parts from Stargazer's Solar sail (halo) and Backpack from Gundam X. Not bad for a option set for the unit. Im buying the whole set for my soon to be mine Core gundam 2

[@iwilliamican]

In a previous video u mentioned you would be starting your on custom gunpla project. Just wondering what it will be based on?

[@pauljordan0203]

I had no problem putting the armor on, though the left hand kept popping off, one if the shoulder armors keeps sliding off, but either way, I've no problem with it.

[@ryujokatagiri7019]

Seeing you talk to Core Gundam 1 makes me want to use it for the new armor sets.

[@draketheduelist]

My Core Gundam II from the Uraven kit generally has okay legs that seem to hold their pose just fine in Core Gundam form. Haven't gotten to the armor unit yet. But the waist unit is *terrible* to the point where I thought I was doing something wrong. It's the polycap that's super-loose there, and unlike the legs which I can tighten if need be because they're just plastic on plastic, that waist was just a mistake. I don't know of any way to pump up the size of that polycap to make it sit better. I'll probably have to tighten the inside, but who knows how well that'll hold...
