The Lesser-Spotted Non-UC Grunt! - MG GN-X and GN-X III Double Review

[@jerrybot3000]

That zoom-in zoom-out at the beginning of the video is the result of giggity neck.

[@draaxus2969]

Mecha: GN-X review Everyone: Is this MG Barbatos?

[@PaszerDye]

People were complaining about the video length, now they'll be wondering about MG Barbatos.

[@iancuk]

You mean gundam Kimaris? 😅

[@lackusshock]

00 grunt units. Quite frankly very overpowered for a grunt unit.

[@porkflaps4717]

Are they? They're made with essentially the same tech by essentially the entire world combining their efforts to combat Celestial Being. It better be able to hang and not be cannon fodder. Not OP WHATSOEVER

[@keevanalrasyidumar5450]

@@porkflaps4717 For standard Gundam grunts they actually hold up much better. That's why it's "OP"

[@Ataximander]

All I want is the MG Flag. Heck, even unto the Braves.

[@Yet_another_placeholder]

An MG Flag would be awesome. Or an Over Flag/GN Flag. The Braves could be nice too...

[@DarkOperationman]

Masurao / Susanawo would be great too.

[@Zeromaru42]

I'd take a MG Over Flag with the Graham Custom as a P Bandai. There is not enough MG Non UC grunts and that is a crime considering how many good ones they could make. I'd personally love to see the entire Flag line and hopefully the rest of the main 00 suits. 00's designs just have so many different and great looking units. The main issue and I think why they didn't start on the non Setsuna ones until recently was ironically because of this. MG Exia was decent and pretty good for the time but we need a 2.0 we might even get that after Virtue. Even this GN-X probably would have been as infamous as the Exia if it came out at the same time.

[@doomhakai8771]

I like the longer videos. It gives more detail and more perspective on the kit

[@gtanusetiawan]

Nice! Coincidentally I just finished watching 00 yesterday too lol. So these suits really fresh in my mind. Gonna finally build my RG Exia soon.

[@cacona6191]

0:12 Hold up. Is that a Ingram unit 1 kit? Just asking because I built the Ingram special edition kit and the box was skinny.

[@MechaGaikotsu]

It’s a figure. A very hefty metal figure with flashing lights!

[@cacona6191]

Mecha Gaikotsu Oh ok

[@BlueAmerican26]

Still waiting for the day they release the GNX 4 MG.

[@joanhailey8969]

I would kill for a MG Striker GN-X too

[@TheVanillaQueen]

Do reviews for the RG Perfect Strike (first), 00 XN Raiser (Second). Also rob a store for the MG Barbatos so you can give it Gundarium already, and then do a giveaway for the one that still hasn't come in the mail

[@mattb154]

If there's a single store in Ireland that has the MG Barbie, Mecha will have to fight me for it.

[@killer13324]

I hope you do a "how old is too old" video regarding the 4 main grades of gunpla [kinda curious to see if there's a perfect grade that's too old to go for].

[@weberman173]

6 months to late but, the GENERAL rule for gunpla is iirc 2010 everything before that is hit or miss with MG and HG(2010 was the 00 Line, so you can see a Definite improvement in quality inside the 00 Kits) for RG, its basicly the MS Joint RG you want to avoid(aka the early Real Grades up to IIRC talgeese)

[@HunterSteel29]

I built one over Christmas. Absolutely love my GN-X. Wish the Binders on the hips were more stable, but I can live with it. Had a tiny mishap with the very tight knees. I was doing a pose when my hand slipped from how stiff it was, and the left leg thigh armor went flying. Now it doesn't stay on it's pivoting arm when I move it, so I guess I just have to live with it. Overall, absolutely love it. The GN-X is indeed my favorite Grunt because it looks absolutely nothing like any grunt unit you've ever seen.

[@zannusx]

These would have been RE100's if made now, but it is odd that Bandai decided this was how they wanted to use Exia's frame instead of in the other S2 suits. I know you are waiting on the Virtue, but I am hoping for a MG Reborns (and a P-Bandai 1.5 Gundam )

[@carlguglietta4766]

I just wanted to say I love your channel! I always watch your videos on repeat when building my kits, and most of the kits I get are inspired by your reviews! Like my MG Sazabi Ver. Ka, what a beast. Keep up the great work!!!

[@DeimosXVX]

One day I'll dig out my MG GN-X and build it. Planned to sell my old Gunpla off but put this thing on display. Glad to see a review on it

[@numa_kai]

I am more HYPE to get the MG Virtue more that anything from 00 The "REAL" full armor gundam

[@decarabiia]

Yeah and the nadlee

[@thekunninglinguist2397]

Hope you were able to get yourself the Virtue. It is one hell of a great kit

[@Kepora1]

Man, whoever was whining that your videos are too long needs to cram a sock in it. They can always fast forward/skip ahead :T

[@Tai_Jaiger]

Can we never do an intro like that again? I think I almost got sick

[@benroebuck3721]

[@abelreyobedencia4364]

I second the motion. Pleasea do a best gunpla of 2019

[@tyson_orr55]

[@true_neutral3378]

@@tyson_orr55 he'll probably pick the MG Barbatos or the RG Nu

[@carminegiustiniani4868]

Great review (as always) but the most important thing for me in this moment is to wish you a great 2020! Your passion and the way you show it with your videos is really something incredible; in the last two years there isn't a Gunpla I built without having seen one of your reviews...even if I can only buy HG and RG...for the moment I hope. I wish you a 2020 full of satisfactions, have a nice day!

[@mdzl70]

I like the start of the video, reminds me of those after-hours infomercial lol. "But wait, there's more!"

wait, the pilot's seat is in its skirt armor? they're normally supposed to be in the chest. o3o

Guess they don’t want to sit below a solar reactor. They probably saw what it did to Setsuna’s mental state.

[@infernas]

It's a COCKpit (just like how they did it in the Zone of the Enders mech designs)

[@infernas]

@@MechaGaikotsu makes sense, IIRC the red GN particles are very harmful to the body as compared to the green particles.

[@biostar15]

@@MechaGaikotsu The official in-universe explanation is that the fake solar reactor has additional parts that occupy the abdomen of the mobile suit. This is the reason why both the Thrones and the GN-X have unusual cockpit locations.

Gonna say this about the MG GN-X Advance Deborah's Unit The feet and hands are kinda ass, and that's with the improvements the GN-X III had introduced. That said I love the damn thing, it's so unique and different from everything else I own. It's worth noting that there is an american company who makes LEDs for Gunpla in all ranges of colors and they are cheap.

[@reeseolsen4052]

Just a minor pet peeve but you make it sound as if their all merely variants of the base Jinx like with the Leo rather than more like the simplfied GM to GM III line. Development wise it pretty much goes GN-X (grey) -> Advanced GN-X (2:34 & 2:36) -> GN-X II -> GN-X III ESF (Blue) & A-Laws (2:40) colors -> GN-X IV etc.

[@AzureanSky]
