HG Black Knight Squad Shi-ve.A - UNBOXING and Review!

[@kalderstudios6453]

Well, now I know what kit I want to use as a base for a valkyrie build.

[@DotHacker99]

Ive loved the design the moment I saw it. The red, black, and white colors and the dual beam sword look so badass

[@PainCausingSamurai]

I can't stop seeing this as "The KZbin App Gundam"

[@hitsugayat10]

This is a cool kit and immediately got it the moment it came out. It looks good even without the stickers. I didnt use any of those on my straightbuild kit and only used silver gundam markets for the thigh and cheek part

[@dannysaravia6834]

Ngl, I'm tempted to pick one of these knight kits. I know I'm def going to get the Geloog Menace tho.

[@TheMrSwampert]

I actually really like this design, I love the Viking type aesthetic, I feel like it’s pretty unique for gundam

[@NeoSlashott]

Design brings back Armored VF-1 vibes especially it's red hatch on its chest. 😊😊

[@LeoMtz-ni2lb]

This is such a cool kit mine hasn’t arrived though

[@schemage2210]

Yeah painted up in some nice metallics (same colour scheme) would look amazing!

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Great unboxing, can't wait to get mine! 🤩👍

[@JunkyardGod]

@5:45 , that sword reminds me of the Plasma Sword from Halo. If you'd cut the point off and file down the sides of the blade.

[@nyxoxyn]

looks like a Wildwurger and a Gespenst had a liger baby

[@jejemonbuster1892]

the beam mantle is actually not a mantle its just emits light particle coming from a booster and its only straight doesn't fold or sway that's why it's like that, tho I gotta admit the translation to plastic sucks

[@rhen4short]

0:00 I'm still figuring out who drops the boxes that Zakuaurelius catches in ever yGundam review.

[@brandonbanks631]

He barely even catches them. I wish he stops this nonsense. It adds nothing to the video.

[@armin8306]

This would be pretty dope in custom colors

[@vustvaleo8068]

the Beam Mantle being a plastic sheet reminds me of the capes used by Lego figures, lol.

[@gbresaleking]

Ngl i think its pretty dang cool

[@JCJarin]

The design is like of Norse in origin. Give it a hammer and you have Thor.

[@Sirmoshi1]

I like this version but I'm not big on the other ones they look very plain compared to this one ! The rising freedom was a fun build though and I am getting ready to build the immortal justice in the next few days so i guess for HG kits they are really good builds and I suggest trying one of them at the very least since this seems to be the new build standard

[@TsorovanZero]

A little hot water will make that cape much nicer.

[@WorkTireless]

This thing honistly feels like it's more of a G-Gundam design. If you told me this thing was one of spains prototype mobile suits, I wouldn't have thought twice-

[@Lamirian215]

I loove this kit. It was detail heavy (which is good). It has great colour separation and very unike not gundam like design. The only issue for me, were the stickers. I gave up on backpack stickers. Its too hard to apply them evenly, with all those cutouts. All in all my favorite HG 2024 release so far for shure)

[@MedskiPurnamski]

Looks like an SRW OG kit.

[@douggoins2960]

Hey Zak, any idea when usa gundam store will be getting the Gelgoog Menace in? Im looking forward to that kit something fierce, lol

[@CrimsonHiroX07]

I'm going to skip this one. The number of stickers that could have been separately molded parts is jarring since the colors already exist on other parts. I get its an HG, if the stickers were different colors than parts already on the kit, I'd understand. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $5 just to have the color separation done properly.

[@riblo72]

I agree. The huge amount of stickers that the Seed Freedom kits have shows how lazy they made these kits Just to exploit the movie popularity

[@user-rh6ru5oz2o]

The MS with the Mickey Mouse colors

[@CsavasKoppany]

Oh my god, now that you mention it🤣

[@myhonestopinion3334]

Gotchard Venom Mariner form "head" also resembles Mickey Mouse 😂😅

[@ShinHakumen]

I can't unsee it now 😅

[@ru5096]

良いですね！SEEDの映画は見ることができましたか？

[@IHeartMeganekko]

Overall nice kit but man those beam capes doesn't really translate well into models imo

[@BrandonTjon]

Hmm this definitely feels a bit older with all the decals and seamlines. Definitely pre WFM vibes

[@riblo72]

Even pre Zaku II Revive too. Zaku II Revive basically doesn't have seamlines and the only sticker is the monoeye.

[@Recon1500]

does the gold plastic on the gold frame hg kits suffer from brittleness like a lot of early 2000's toys/kits?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Don’t think so!

[@iczer01]

Sucks that I look more forward to the Chinese knockoffs lately then Bandai

[@victorg7036]

I promised myself that I wouldn't pre-ordered any more gunpla, at least untill ive built 75% of the kits i currently have... well... that was a lie. Between yesterday and today I've pre-ordered the 2 Armored Core kits, the RG RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. 2.0, the SDCS Silhouette Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam and the HG Gundam Amazing Barbatos Lupus. And I'm not including all the other stuff I've already had pre-ordered like the MG Sinanju Stein (Narrative Ver.) Ver. Ka.

[@myhonestopinion3334]

too bad all of the *Black Knight Squad* mecha doesn't have the "seed freedom action system" 😅 idk why Bandai only do the seed freedom action system for Downfall Freedom and Mortal Justice 😅 *note that Mighty Strike Freedom & Infinite Justice Type II also had seed freedom action system but isn't released yet

[@edwardboyz1000]

HG Lightning Buster Gundam and Duel Blitz Gundam Soon

[@Geekeric]

Interesting design but the stickers are a deal-killer. Ever think the box art is so good that it's a letdown when the kit is built?

[@maximfyodorovich4489]

Ngl, it has that soulless corporate product vibe radiating out of that especially the strike freedom backpack change and the justice x wing lookin ass

[@razrafz]

the beam mantle is kinda bad as is. the printing is ok but the straight edges ruins it. not a fan of these knights designs, look too super robot to be in a gundam universe

[@ZakuAurelius]

Seed kinda is the series for Super Robot mobile suits though, isn’t it? 😂

[@BlueItem1]

Yeah, not sure if I like how they did it to begin with, but that clear straight edge at the bottom looks really bad. If I get this kit probably going to either cut or short or try for a more jagged look.

[@_______520]

Because Gundam is known for only gaving realistic grounded designs all the time with no exceptions. All real robot except G Gundam and never anything fancy.

[@RevanR]

Its just kinda jarring to see such design, I mean while you can trace the lineage of design and tech but this one is somewhat out of nowhere to compare with other Cosmic Era mech

[@ZakuAurelius]

I agree on that. It’s so wildly different. But I haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t know anything about where the suit came from so I wasn’t too worried about it

[@maverick6c631]

Crossbone Vanguard equivalent

[@HaohmaruHL]

The design is fugly as hell (especially the helmet and the snow/ski boots), and the pilots of these things were forgettable clowns in the movie but I kinda want this just for a slightly different build experience
