THIS KIT IS A MONSTER! - RE/100 Nightingale Review

[@venomouslizards]

17:12. The wings are not built correctly. You need to turn it at an angle so it can completely slide into the socket. There it will be slightly more stable and higher up than what you have now.

The coolest part of the RE 100 kits was that they'd often come out around the time a MG Counterpart came out. This came out near when the Hi Nu Ver Ka did, and the Zaku F2 came out near when the Alex MG.

[@FOXZILLA5734]

While Sazabi is definitely my favorite of Char's suits, I think the nightingale is a badass beast of a mobile suit. Out the two kits I think I would go with the high grade but they did an admirable job with this.

I wish this was more detailed. Big kits with giant armour plates with hardly any panel lines or rivets kinda annoy me. But I can see this being a really good project kit for someone who's good with scribing and adding PLA plates. Too bad this never got a proper MG to go with the Hi-Nu Gundam.

[@HSE331]

this is the perfect kit for scribing newcomers but you need to be really into the design to take the plunge and considering most like the sazabi over this i see why bandai wont do more

[@fattiger6957]

@@HSE331 Yeah, I agree. The design is a little too much. And for the price, the kit is really limited in what it can do (can't even move those wing things) I think I will get the HG some day since I want to get a kit for every Char MS.

[@sir_coma60]

Of the 3 versions of Nightingale, i personal think the SDCS is the best for me. Yes, being an SD, extra work is REQUIRED, but the proportions weirdly feel the most line art accurate (except the huge head ofc). The hg change aspects of the design that i dont like, and the reborn is... this review. Also, shouldn't the legs be shorter? Both the hg and reborn are very tall, whille the line art as more of a hunched design.

[@kamenriderovant9676]

SDCS(evolved from BB Senshi) don't require much extra work, which is why that line evolved into the MGSD line.

[@HaohmaruHL]

Eventually it's gonna be just a static shelf piece in both ways so it all just comes down to if you want a 1/100 Nightingale next to your MG Hi-Nu or a 1/144 Nightingale next to your HR/RG Hi-Nu. Say thanks we got a 1/100 Nightingale at all.

What was the purpose of th big red dong? Why did the nightingale need that aspect. If it's not a wepon, it looks like it would just get in the moblesuits way. An yes its seams it its the best place to hold it when moving the model, but i don't think that's how they hold the moble suit on the ships, lol.

[@dust_bin_gaming7319]

Bell-tick-tora?! It's not even that on the box. xD Got this first, years before the HG came out. It does make for a nice centerpiece! But now I've been really wanting the HG, for all the extra gimmicks! (though I occasionally poke Bandai for a properly scaled, fully gimmicked, and LED'd MG of this. even if it would cost 200+ ) I've only ever had the legs fall out when moving (you messed up in putting the arms in. those are pretty damn solid, normally. And you need to rotate the binders a bit more. They should be facing slightly forwards to lock in properly). The HG fixed this by reversing the peg/hole positions and materials (and a bit of weight). 45 thrusters in total! All 2-parters! xD Mine really doesn't like holding the beam rifle, almost at all, without an extra stand. The forearm gets in the way of the butt-stock of the rifle, so it ends up at a really odd angle. The plug in for one or more of the three back tanks broke, huh? xD Only thing on mine, too. Wish they were both correctly sized though. This matches up better with HG's than MG.

[@edazary6669]

Srsly question, without the size, which is the best? HG or this kit?

[@dust_bin_gaming7319]

Ignoring sizes (both are under scaled anyways)... The HG, hands down. I got this one a few years before the HG was even announced. And... the difference in details and gimmicks between the two is astounding. But, this was the first of the Re:100 line, so shortcuts had to be made, I guess.

[@Putramohamedrosli]

man why couldnt they just make it more detailed and have colour separatings like the sazabi?

[@Smilomaniac]

There's a scale on the bug-design aesthetic and this thing is more 'bug' than a lot of other designs. It's cool, but it sort of clashes.

[@HunterDrone]

if the legs were longer and less squished looking, and if the joints either had actual cloth or ditched the crumpled plastic look it could have been beautiful.

[@xxnike0629xx]

I feel like the Reborn 100 line up of Gunpla is effectively done. Bandai hasn't released much; the most recent being the RE 100 MSN-03 Gyunei Guss's Jagd Doga (Special Coating) released back in November 2022 as a Gundam Side-F exclusive kit. I think it's good since I felt like the RE 100 releases were taking up resources from Master Grade releases. I suppose for fans, maybe the HGUC MSN-04 II Nightingale might be the best choice since it isn't as expensive, it's easier to find, and it pairs well with the RG RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam.

[@rx-105xigundam2]

The Nightingale is such a cool design, but i still hold the Sazabi in a higher regard.

[@lilruss15]

silver tier is quite generous, I would lowkey give it bronze due to how easily it falls apart and the kit's design (so are many other RE 1/100 oddly) feels like the designer just rushed it out

[@athrun2]

I know you're going over how it disappoints nowadays, but at the time this was great. even with all its issues, I recall this being the first official nightingale bandai had ever produced. or if not 1st, then the first in a loooong time. I always loved the nightingale's design, but hated that it never got any love. not even an sd, that would fix/mitigate the size issues. it hardly even shows up in games/fiction! made worse by the fact that bandai loves to milk every _other_ char suit, but the nightingale just seemingly got unpersoned. or well, un-mobile-suited as it were

[@lygiakhanh-j9k]

knee joint connections looking a bit scary

[@whiteraven1992]

Ah, the awkwardly mobile armor-shaped unconventional _redboi_ mobile suit with the phallic frontal tank (no idea whether it's supposed to be an extra propellant thruster, for storing sub-arms, or for the "large abdominal mega-particle cannon"); either way, it's funny to look at. ^ Was Char actually compensating for something here, or was he allowing his opponents to think that design would be disadvantageous in space-combat? You decide!

Don’t know what it is but I much prefer sazabi to the nightingale. Sazabi just looks more like a suit char would pilot for a duel. Especially when he talks about wanting a even fight with amaro

[@dust_bin_gaming7319]

If you recall Char's grand speech in CCA to the entire assembled Zeon army, he made it while standing on the 'chest' of this beast in the alternate timeline manga. It was more to make a statement. (the fights last about as long as they did in CCA though) And Amuro got the Hi-v. So they were still kinda 'equal'.
