THE PERFECT BARBATOS | Metal Robot Damashii Gundam Barbatos Lupus Review

[@someviet]

In regards to the hip joint, theres a mechanism to bring the hips further down, enabling mr.lupus to kick almost all the way to the forehead. Great for crouching poses.

[@lewisle3301]

The drop-down mechanism extends the range a little bit (about 30 degrees more or so), he can't crouch or kick all the way up to his head. But still, more than enough for a buffy and pointy gundam like Barbie.

yeah, not like they couldn't just re-use alot from the mg barbatos frame. even vidar, bael and a few others that are pretty much the same with different top layer

[@DiabolicNick]

They have that. It's literally the full mechanics 1/100. They're mg for all purposes tbh.

[@Gay_Priest]

@@DiabolicNick in terms of detail though the full mechanics are essentially HG in 1/100. I still fully intend to get a full mechanic Rex dont get me wrong, but it would be so nice to see the detail and love they gave 4th form

[@jegt3382]

@@MinhNguyenVN nothing new from bandai. Look at it this way, there is only one mg from wing gundam anime, the rest are from the manga and movie, 3 of which are p-bandai and 1 of them is extremely hard to find more so for a reasonable price. That says a lot right there. Outside of UC mg, only seed has been given the greater love and care by bandai.

[@Sth809]

Mg vidar when bandai?

[@loochan-o7174]

To me the epicness of Barbatos Lupus is that it's condensed in about 5 minutes in the whole IBO storyline. He storms the battlefield and it's immediately full power against the legendary mobile armor Hashmal. Gets wrecked and is never seen again, only to come back as Lupus Rex. That's the beauty of a rare jam.

[@pokitcheze2253]

I was really excited for this review… That was when it came out forever ago. I’ve waited forever for this

[@izzy_theog9658]

I freakin' love that 'Alaya-Vijnana' kinda effect on that model kit!

[@bebebutterbub1344]

for tightening loose joints on my stuff I usually use a light small amount of modpog mix water to seep into joints. But its risky if the figure has weak materials. Modpog is usually used to seal acrylic and paints, also adds protection layer to surface of toy paints. But it is safer to use clear acrylic with water.

[@ligmasugmakenya114]

The price difference between Lupus and Rex is actually insane. Like $300+ for a figure slightly bigger than a high grade. I guess you are paying for quality and accessories though. I hope they make a Hashmal for this line.

[@cyberwarrior720]

I had the same issues with mine with the ball joint shoulders. You can pull them off, just be careful when doing so. I recommend using nail polish on both the socket and the ball to thicken them up, once you do that it 100% fixs it and tightens them while retaining its mobility.

[@misbehaven1237]

I was crazy lucky to get a preorder of this from an online store in my country at a really good price, and the figure does not disappoint in any regard!

[@anti-rioter-15]

I built the 4th form MG, and then the full mechanics lupis Rex as my first kits. I even panel lined them after watching your videos. Man. This is my favorite form, so I’ve been kind of saving it. This kit….is gorgeous. Thanks for the video, I appreciate it.

[@Eradose]

I almost wonder what you would do if they make a mecha musume Barbatos figure. Although I think someone could swing it with 30 Minute Sisters parts (The tail from Option Parts 4, and the legs from Options Parts 3 might be a good start). I also would like to know your thoughts on the upcoming MG effects parts for the MG Barbatos.

[@hh-kto]

iirc there's a video of someone making barbatos mecha musume using megami device with hg barbatos parts

[@vustvaleo8068]

Barbatos Lupus is the rightful owner of the Valkyrja Buster Sword and the Helmwige Reincar is just the sword's storage rack, lol.

[@EpikFeddie]

im so happy that he still does barbatos videos, Barbatos is my favorite gundam FIRST PLACE

[@genericweeb7300]

I've always preferred the old Lupus over LRex Glad to see this design getting the MB treatment

[@carlopadon]

I have mix favorites with the Lupus and Lupus Rex. With Lupus I prefer its head specially with that huge blue gem-like V-fin, shoulders and side skirts. While the Lupus Rex I prefer its arms with its yellow sharp claws and of course its back tail. As for the body and legs, they look almost the same

[@ramon6783]

"The Lupus is just so much more savage and regal-looking than the just savage looking Rex" Ironic, since Rex means "King" which would imply that it should have more regality. I somehow agree, especially with this particular version. The symmetry, red shoulders and non-over the top-ness really does make it look more... Graceful? Than the wild, beast-looking Rex.

[@KuroiShiAnimu]

Technically animals don't care about regality just pure strength so Rex being purely ferocious cements his place as the king

[@MusicFan752]

Really hope we do get a mg for the barbatos lupus cause it’s honestly one of my top three favorite gundams ever and my favorite in ibo of all time.

[@JackTheFenris]

Lupus is so dope!

[@kueapel911]

0:41 that waist piston...

[@jonathandoherty9082]

I'm so excited for this guy. Have him on pre-order from BBTS.

[@asuna07neros]

I also love this version of Barbatos the most. IMO, this form perfected the Gundam. Lupus Rex may be an upgrade but to me, it doesn't feel like a Gundam anymore. I hope Bandai will release a MG Barbatos Lupus soon since this is a little expensive for me to get.

[@Koel_Hellion]

I honestly like the 1st form the best, looks like a run down old suit and I love the vibe of it

[@lewisle3301]

Besides the stupidly long side skirt armors and silver claws, I love this design. You are right, the Rex is designed to be an animal, not a gundam anymore. Lupus is the perfect balance of both elegancy and intimidation.

[@frodrigues1011]

Hey @Mecha Gaikotsu, I finally got into gunpla. I must say I started with the Wing Gundam ZERO EW Ver.Ka, I watched your review about it, the Wing Zero EW is my top gundam. And was a very pleasant 1st build. I'm about to finish it (decals). I was wondering, about Tamiya TS-80, is it ok for ABS? the Ver.Ka has some ABS parts, but I could not find good enough info about it, I want to seal my build to protect the decals and the gunpla from time hah. This thing is gorgeous! So if you could help me with this I would appreciate it very much. Thankyou.

[@bebebutterbub1344]

He has more diecast parts and accessories than Rex too. I hope they will do Metal Build Barbie some time soon, I mean, $100 more to upscale this guy is still worth it in my greedy opinion.

if there was an RG Gundam Barbatos: - Gundam Frame + Barbatos Armor - Barbatos Weapons

[@jeff3221]

It'd be perfect if the wrists weren't so loose. If you guys have any suggestions I would love to hear them but the usual super glue on the joint doesn't work since the hands are swappable. So unless you aren't going to swap the hands for ages, you just end up scrapping the glue off when you swap the hands. There are also awful nub marks on the weapons, the mortars being the worst offender. I do think it's an improvement over the Rex, but the floppy hands just ruin the fun of all it's weapons.

To me the upper leg looks slightly longer than the kits do I’m not sure if that might make the difference

[@babyyodaco9345]

[@titan133760]

That's a pet peeve of mine when it comes to MS designs in the Gundam franchise. The designers often make the thighs shorter than the lower legs, which makes those "taking a knee" poses look awkward. Why can't they make it like the RX-78-2 Beyond Global, where both the thighs and the lower legs are equally proportioned?

[@genericweeb7300]

@@titan133760 Hajime Katoki is especially guilty of that. In fact, some people consider it to be his signature. It's not like I hate him for that though. Just a pet peeve too, it's a matter of taste. 00's designs (at least the Celestial Being Gundams) actively avoids this and it's all the more reason I have a bias for them.
