[@SoulstrikerV]

This should be a standard participant for size comparisons of HG, EG, and RG kits. And I'm still hoping for a HG 1/144 Destroy Gundam.

[@Matanumi]

Smells like P bandai

[@vustvaleo8068]

we also need a HG 1/144 Big Zam lol.

[@SoulstrikerV]

Yeah, definitely P-Bandai unless Bandai gets some crazy urge to put it on shelves.

[@YiminyCricket]

@@vustvaleo8068 why settle for HG when we could demand a PG Unleashed Big Zam?

[@YiminyCricket]

hg Destroy Gundam? I think you mean PG Unleashed Destroy Gundam

[@casvalcat3546]

Surprisingly a good kit with that decent price. C'mon Bandai we need the Psycho Mk-II.

Yes pls.

[@vustvaleo8068]

Big Zam

[@nediojon749]

I completely agree with Gold Teir. It's old yes and it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the newer HG's but what it does, it does well. The transformation is so fun and say you don't flip the hands in and you leave the head reviled it looks like an imposing figure on a throne

[@alfianfahmi5430]

If this kit would ever had a Revive version in the future, I hope they would improve the thigh joints by adding a swivel at the thigh.

[@casvalcat3546]

Nah, it likely won't get an update but future HGUC Psycho Mk-II definitely at least get the modern treat. The reason we don't get much articulations because of transformable fortress mode. They want to keep it simple.

[@alfianfahmi5430]

@@casvalcat3546 There's no reason to sacrifice the thigh swivels, now that even the EG had it as a standard.

[@casvalcat3546]

@@alfianfahmi5430 less moving parts = more stable for fortress mode. Just look at how the way leg is transform. Rotateable hip joint will make the fortress mode flimsy. Though I don't understand the need to use screws on frame..

[@Brawler_1337]

@@casvalcat3546 This is a massive kit from 2004. Screws were the norm back then. Also no chance a potential Psyco Gundam Mk II gets a modern treatment. Bandai will find a way to reuse this mold for it.

[@alfianfahmi5430]

@@casvalcat3546 It's not as heavy as a Perfect Grade, so I think you could get away with it having a couple of extra joints. With the materials and technology they had right now, I think it's possible. Just not with polycaps, but with the softer polystyrene instead.

[@Slashthehedgehog1443]

I love the new style of snap building/ASMR aesthetic type thing you do at the start of some of these! It really helps to give an idea of how the parts fit together/how they should look.

[@rilonnn]

I just love the fact that this mobile armor could technically do finger guns and actually do some damage with them

[@FOXZILLA5734]

Psycho gundam's debut in the fight in Hong Kong is such an unforgettable moment in the series

[@stujm84]

I imagine that someone with a bit of time on their hands and some creative thinking could really make this kit look ace. It would mean losing that retro look (that I love) but you could scribe your own panel lines, do an ace paint job on it and bring the looks into 2022 and it would be awesome. You could even be painting it up as the Mk2 Psycho if that's your fancy.

[@benadrylthundercrotch7144]

This kit is so fun! Equally great to have towering over your other has on a shelf or just handle and play around with. You're spot on about it feeling like an old toy. All I kept thinking of while building it was the old Buzz Lightyear figures.

[@Gundam_mug_liker]

I just imagine playing with this thing and making a backhand why your other action figures

[@snakeeater3458]

About time you had your hands on the Psycho Gundam. Still the best kit in my collection with decals, I'm glad you got it! Keep up the great work ❤️ shout outs to your gundam followers in the windy city of Chicago!

[@dominikpazdera2643]

Which decals u used?

[@Heavy_Metal_Gunpla]

Have one in my backlog. I'm really looking forward to it since I finally got a MkII Revive. Also have the Zeta, Hyaku Shiki & Dijeh for recreating the Kilimanjaro assault. As for the yellow stickers, I'll take 'em 😅. Just had a hell of a time trying to use Gundam Marker Yellow on my HG Kampfer. It looks better after a few coats, but ugh 🙄. That's the only Gundam Marker that gives me any issue; even the EX Chrome and metallics work fine. Next time, I'm gonna try a different brand for anything yellow. 😵‍💫

[@faultedtoast45]

The GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam from Seed Destiny would be cool as a high grade and it’s backpack makes it taller than the psycho Gundam.

[@millar876]

Yup, and I think destroy has a much better MA mode. According to the wiki, destroy is 2m shorter than psycho at the head but 16m taller with the backpack.

[@juliegrine2875]

If it was high grade it would be mega grade or a new scale that's bigger than that

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz7360]

Guess what

[@person906]

I feel like you've fully transitioned from your old yelly, toy commercial style and I enjoy your channel much more for it. Keep up the good work! The most prolific gunplatuber!

[@Zion042]

HG psycho gundam is have a special place in my heart because is one of a gift this my dad give me and is a first gunpla this i got in my life. After he pass away every time i look at my psycho gundam is make me miss him so much. He is a best dad ever :)

[@Octo-Genius]

When I built mine, I grabbed some 3rd party waterslide decals for it and painted some of the armor panels in different colors. between those two things, it punched the level of detail up quite a bit! Even just the decals alone would look great.

[@Brawler_1337]

So, I just discovered something. The giant arms from the Hazel Owsla fit onto the HGUC Psycho Gundam, and those arms are double-jointed and may still support the transformation. So, if you want a DIY Psycho Gundam 1.5 and don’t mind painting, this is something you can do. I’d link some images, but apparently KZbin doesn’t like that.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

Oooooh. I thought the arms on the owlsa were just going to reuse the arms off this kit. That really makes me excited!

[@snackboxone364]

As someone’s who’s on episode 22 of zeta gundam all I could say is. Incredible

[@coldercoronet6248]

Lucky! It gets sooooo good

[@chanbuilds6319]

I love how Mecha gave us variety of contents just to make the reviews more entertaining to watch. Kudos!

[@benrompen7100]

Funny, literally JUST ordered this one. It's going to be getting a custom Titans Test Team color scheme (based on the parts we see of it in the Advance of Zeta materials) and might just end up with its arms occasionally stolen by my Hazel Owsla.

[@arthurdub7901]

Wish they had a MG version, it’d be so badass

[@aegixxer1]

I picked one up a few weeks ago when it showed up at my local shop. Looking forward to building it. I don't know if I want to keep it original for the retro aspect or give it a paintjob to spruce it up a little.

[@King_Kenny_II]

[@philipcockerham7383]

I was wondering when you'd get to this one! I chromed up some details and any gunpla that lets me flip the bird instantly has me sold!

[@pUREsTORM9267]

For an older HG, the Psycho Gundam Mk 1 holds up quite well in terms of appearance out-of-the-box. Give it some panel lining, a matte top coat and maybe some water-slide decals, and it will look stellar.

[@ms_factory_88]

I just finished mine recently. The psycho gundam has been on my list forever. I ended up going a little crazy with the leds in it but it makes a cool night light now lol

[@snukastyle]

Oh, nice! I'm guessing you have LEDs in the torso, hands, and head?

[@ms_factory_88]

@@snukastyle yes sir, I put fiber optics in the fingers. I cut the eyes out and head sensors and made pink lenses from old beam sabers for those and put red leds in those. All 3 chest particle beam guns are lit and the 2 verniers in the back are lit as well. Turned out to be one of my favorite builds learned alot from it used new paint for it and pla plate parts as well.

[@epyon542]

I'm finally getting won't to watching the UC timeline and I just got to the part of Zeta where the Psycho Gundam first shows up. It barely moves in the anime and I just like the Kshatriya, this captures the suit fairly well even with the limited articulation. I'm not sure I'll pick this one up as I'm still not a huge fan of really Gundam designs but it's still incredibly interesting getting a glimpse of old kits.

[@berrybear177]
