An update: RG Sinanju shouldn't be recommended, the frame is really killing its value...

[@danwithaplan3742]

I'd say the RG Sinanju is for people willing to take the time to do custom work/fixes on their kits. There are some videos that show how cementing some of the joints in the waist can greatly stabilize the kit and I feel attaching just some little bits of plastic to where the shoulder armor attaches to the arms can help keep them from popping off

I built an RG GP01 last year and the kit is still holding up very well. It is very solid and nothing has gotten loose. I think the problem many people have with the core fighter is that they don't follow the instructions and connect it wrongly to the waist.

I'm currently building the RG Banshee Norn, and I'm impressed by the transformation gimmick and the stability. However, I do find that some the joints are uncomfortably tight to the point I fear breaking them. I usually prefer tight joints as that often prevents weight issues, but this is one of those exceptions. I have been really careful with moving the joints as a result, as well as reading those horror stories

[@juliamxd9614]

I used vaseline to loose some of them but used a bit too much and some of the silicone joints are now a bit too loose to hold the shield, also a piece on the side of the feet broke but was easily fixable with a bit of superglue

was amazed with the RG Exia but regretted not gluing the head parts as they easily got loose and now have it stored in a box till I get a 2nd RG Exia for replacement parts. The ribbons were a bit hell to attach too.

[@zethythonix]

Agreed

[@DJH3006]

Been over a year owning an RG Sinanju, I can agree that it simply cannot stand on its own with the thrusters making it topple over, you have to tilt the model forward up to 4cm to counter the weight of the thrusters or use an action base. Joints are stiff and hold a pose, but the arm mount for the shield is terribly designed and falls off with the slightest breeze. Other than that, he mentioned that a part on the legs falls off easily. I can confirm that the kneecap armor pieces really do fall off so I recommend cementing that down. Other than that. It really is a beautiful model with “regal” qualities. The nubs on the gold frame is well hidden but my only complaint is that the seam line between parts on the bicep is hideous so detailing that part is a must.

[@AkahikaS]

-From my experience, 00 and qant isn't meant for standing pose, their feet is weak, but it looks awesome after posing it on stand -For the best gunpla is rg NU and sazabi imo, the articulation is awesome, the gimmick is awesome too -Other than those 2 i recommend rg unicorn, full armor for weapon option, if you don't like the green color or maybe don't have enough space, i recommend dessinee version for the extra weapon

[@zethythonix]

Great recommendation right here!

[@tonicfortiredeyes185]

A way to fix loose joints is by using thin layers of super glue, clear nail polish or clear paint in the joints, sockets and pegs. Make sure to let it dry first after applying before putting it back on. Small pieces of tissue can be put in the sockets if you don't want to use liquid substances as you can reverse it.

[@557deadpool]

That doesn't work for the RG Frame

[@hijous]

on old rg frame? it doesn't work. I already try. unless you want it to be statue, yeah you can glue the joint

[@Vaivai371]

I built the RG freedom and it almost killed my enthusiasm for RG until I decided to build the RG Z'gok. The freedom was on my display until last year and it stands pretty well on its own with my experience. That's until you add the wings. The wings made it back heavy and it would topple easily. On top of that, some parts on the wings are so loose that it was almost impossible the pose them. Anyway, all I remember is that something broke, I got mad at it and placed it in storage indefinitely. Great video tho. I was contemplating buying the RG rx78 since the RG Zeong has a final shot edition but I guess not

[@riblo72]

Do yourself a favour and buy the HG Origin RX-78 The Origin and Thunderbolt lines are the only HG lines that stands almost on par with the RG on the aesthetic side

[@K3ns4i]

I understand his points and i think they are valid for people who like to "play" with their gundams, and constantly change the poses. But for people who just want to customize it and glue it on a fixed pose there should be no issues I guess.

my first rg was a zaku2 the next day after I finished building it the left hip joint broke . thanks to this now I'm nervous about buying any RG, recently i got rg zgok and so far I'm happy with it

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

So from my understanding, the only acceptable pre-Unicorn RG's are the Mk.II and Setsuna and Heero's Gundams. I'm on the fence about the Astray, though, because I broke the thigh joint: said joint looks thin and fragile but its male peg's connection to the waist's female peg is too tight.

[@gomiko8979]

"rg rx-78.. NO" too late bud, this was my first gunpla that I bought last january. I must say, with my carefulness, It's still standing really beautifully and I gave it some panel lines. I'm not touching it anymore though. So I'll be putting it in a display box and harden it with some finish. showcasing it as the reason for my addiction.

[@jaysicat1845]

Oh, c'mon! 00Raizer is one of the best RG even from the age of pre assembled inner frame. It is a very fun build. Action base is cheap. I love astrays more than 00 gundams but i like the rg 00 raiser more tham rg astray. I just hate the waist unit of the rg astray. Leg connection is too tight but plastic is too thin. So yeah, i already broke that leg connector piece.

[@concon09090]

Ive been owning RG kits 4 years now. Yha there are a bit problems for some kits. My worst is RG Zeta Gundam but i recently fix it for display (display only). I agree that the latest RG kits are way ok from the early release but I dont agree on the "DONT BUY" thing, if you like the look and the build of RG, buy it but take a little caution on it. Lets remember that RG is small and a lot of detailed parts compare with HGs.

[@zethythonix]

[@mariomardones5547]

I should have watched this video before purchasing the GPO1FB kit. I'm seriously thinking of gluing the top 😩

[@Ardiar21]

I reccomend the RG Zgok, it's a relatively simple build so it shouldn't have any problems with loose small parts or the sorts. I've had mine for a couple of years now and I can shake it as hard as I could and nothing will fall off. It's also a unique design so it's a fun building process if you want something new. Really the only cons I can give to it is that the articulation can be somewhat limited but that's due to the mobile suit design itself and not the engineering of the kit.

[@H33lios]

True I got mine this summer and i'm pretty happy with it

[@31Huse75]

Articulation seems to be a big thing for most and yeah I get it. But for me the selling point of real grades is its highly layered and when your putting it together its like " oh I could totaly see this being made out of metal and electronic compounds and coming to life.

[@alxporrini8563]

I have the RG Force Impulse, RG Sazabi, RG Qan [T], and RG MKII Titan Version. All of them are good but I did mess up on the Qan [T] by snipping a tab that shouldn't been snipped on the shield connection to the back. Now it sits in the box because of that. The other 3 are on display. I do want Red Frame, Tallgeese, Nu, and both Unicorn & Banshee.

[@_Vegtio_72322]

I feel the ones that use the peg for the legs and arms like the Aile strike, it's very easy to tighten those joints. Elbows, not so much because that's already assembled but when it comes to arm stability and leg stability, it'll be fine, just add some super glue, let it dry than put it back together. However if a knee joint is loose or a elbow joint is loose well than sadly the only thing you can do is take off the armor and top coat the entire inner frame a few times and hope for the best otherwise it's might just stay loose as shit forever Also to add I fixed the looseness on the RG MK-II by adding just a tiny tiny bit of super glue and it actually is almost hard for it to seperate now and also isn't loose either so I recommend anyone that gets the MK II. Do add a tiny bit of super glue in the torso section, you'll see where once you build it. And than let the glue dry, assemble and you're good to go !!

Love how the first and low rated Gunpla was the RX 78 but that was also my first gunpla model I ever built. Fair criticism though, if you aren't planning on the standing pose on the box like I did, you're gonna have a bad time as the hands do kinda suck at holding the gun at most angles. Also the hip frame is so flimsy it snapped when I first built it. Needed to glue it back so that it could be assembled.

Guys please don't listen to this man he's littrely saying basically dont buy all the kits in this video bc he said i recomand u don't buy this kit over 23 times do what makes u happy i have the rg build strike gundam and its just fine and i can move the joints and every thing

[@Picture9663]

I have a real grade GP01 (The first one) and it’s very sturdy idk it’s probably my copy is different.

[@Picture9663]

Thanks for the heart!

[@janwijngaard]

Same, it was my first RG kit and also one of my first few kits getting into gunpla. Still holds up fine till this day, never had problems with the core fighter. It's a little wobbly I guess, bug holds together fine.

[@frederickreyes7009]

Thanks you saved me a lot of money 😘😘

[@Brunonfire]

Yesterday i ordered the Mk II titans RG haha heard it was pretty solid so..why not

[@MolesterOfTheFinger]

It is a nice and stable kit, I had no issues with the waist joint.

[@Brunonfire]

@@MolesterOfTheFinger thanks, it's good to know

[@Sena-co1ug]

Having recently built the Freedom 2.0 and loving it, it hurts to see the RG rank so low 😅 but you do make a point about the wings they’re about as heavy as a separate MG kit…! If someone wants to have it stand with them on they’re going to have to apply laws of physics…

[@hadzerin3429]

I have rg sinanju and trust me,the kit is my worse nightmare ever

[@zethythonix]

agreed

[@costaluca78]

Amazing video, i made a new list of gunpla RG to purchase thanks to your video. Thank you for all the time and effort for doing this video.

[@Mikey415abrea]

You should preface the idea that you’re ranking system is based on building OBO/snapfit. If you would consider yourself a competent modeler with experience building “model kits” (at the very least a remedial level...) you should have no problem dealing with any limitations said kit has to offer. Otherwise buy an action figure. Model kits are open to interpretation and limiting factors whether paint, articulation, decals etc and writing off those ideas because it doesn’t work for you is pretty dismissive and only narrows your ability as a “modeler”. When you’re speaking in blanket statements about what a “model kit” can do and can’t do and coming to a conclusion as a self respecting modeler to write anything off as “garbage” says something about you as a modeler. All kits aren’t created equal and Bandai is constantly innovating to actually make it easier for people to complain about frivolous details. Maybe pre built action figures might be more your lane. I’m not doubting your ability as a modeler but any self respecting person who looks to progress as a modeler should definitely take this video with a grain of salt.

[@DLanimator]

Considering how much he mentions about play with them, maybe action figures or something that can take a beating would be better. Throwing around a model kit is not something you do, even in frustration. Most of these loose joints and pieces falling apart can be fixed or wouldn't be a problem with some care. Both my Mk2 are still solid as a rock, no loose torso on either. I know Zeta's reputation for being a hand grenade, but I've not had any problems posing or broken pieces, but then again, I handle my kits with care. You get the kits you like the design of, not how much you can play with them...that's not really what model kits are for...

[@danielak1666]

I think he make this list less for "a self respecting modeller that keep improving" and more for a beginner or someone that can't really afford expensive painting equipment or so many time just to "fix" a loose joint or parts that keep popping off. Not everyone start this hobby planned to enter some competition anyway, so something that looks good out of the box is a fine limit. *btw possing is still count as "playing around" and not everyone want their gunpla just being put on the shelf with standing pose without any weapon equiped anyway

[@Mikey415abrea]

Daniel AK what? You seemed confused and ill informed as to what I typed. If you can afford to build a model kit**(specifically an RG), then you can definitely buy the necessary means of equipment to “fix” said problem. There also must be some sort of language barrier because being “competent” and “competition” are two completely different words. Also posing and playing around are completely different through sheer definition and interpretation. The idea “I think he make this list for.... “a self respecting modeller that keep improving” has nothing to do with the direct points I have made. You fail to understand why I suggested he should probably buy action figures**** instead of ***MODEL KITS*** you clearly don’t understand what I’m saying or there is most definitely a language barrier.

[@DLanimator]

@@danielak1666 If your base line is looking good out of the box, most RGs would be an easy buy then. For the majority they are the best looking of the 1/144 scale kits in terms of details, color accuracy and price. Even if you do want to touch it up, paints and a brush don't cost that much unless you're going to go all out and buy an airbrush. Tools for fixing most loose joints can range from nail polish to super glue, common items you may already have and not at all expensive. If you're going to spend several hours to build up a kit, you might as well put in a few more minutes to make it better. Posing is half the fun of a model kit and I don't know of any self respected modeler that haven't posed their kits at least once after they built it. There is a difference to posing your kits with care and rough handling it that things pop off and joints become too lose after play though. If your definition of play requires you to pick it up and move parts around every few minutes, then I stand by that you're better off buying an action figure that can handle that much play. It'll be cheaper too.

[@danielak1666]

@@DLanimator sorry, I think I put too many sarcasm in my last comment and make my point stray. imo, this video is aimed for beginner in mind and most beginner wants from rg is a good looking kit oob that could be posed. That's why the main comments kinda tick me off since it's kinda said "modeller shouldn't focus at oob and should focus on fixing the unit to be as good as you want". Because, that kind of modeller didn't even need to watch this kind of list that being made for beginner For me "playing around" model kit is always revolves around posing and never about moving a every part every a few minutes. And like you said, that's half the fun of modelling so I think playability is kinda legit reasoning

[@N1caea]

I got the Wing Zero EW RG on my birthday last year and I had fun putting it together my best work and the Wing Gundams are favorite because they were my introduction in the franchise.

[@jovicabengona]

watching this after buying RG RX-78-2 :))))

[@PsycheTrance65]

One thing I've noticed from early RGs is they age inconsistently. I have RG 00 Raiser (built back in 2016) and it's still very solid to this day. No loose joints.

[@sike_ologist7655]

After building it, I would recommend the RG Force Impulse. Only complaint is that there’s a big bit of empty space on the ms if you want to display the Core Splendor separately. Wish there was one thing like a core block to act as filler.

[@exiaR2x78]

I got RG aile strike in like 2012ish, I've had it on action base pretty much since I made it in the pose like from the anime title in the OP and I havent had any issues at all arms sagging from the rifle or shield

[@chrollolucillfer]

I bought my first rg it is force impulse gundam and it is great for beginners it is fun to play it around and it is very solid I would definitely recommend it to review this kit

[@dantecross17]

aile strike and build strike are 2 ENTIIIIIREEEELYYYY different kits. I'd recommend not skipping rg build strike if you want it to be added to your rg collection.

[@mistert477]

Oh god, i’m getting terrifying flashbacks of when I tried to build the Zephyranthes 🤦🏽‍♂️ shit was NOT stable at all 😂

[@jasonyu8918]

I happened to have rg freedom and rg mk2 as my first gunpla kits, mk2 turned out to be really stable, not sure why on yours the torso was lose. Freedom is ok with inner frame, the problem is the backpack falling apart all the time. I also built rg sinanju too, gluing the inside half circle part will make it solid as a rock, honestly I enjoyed it very much.

[@riblo72]

MK2 is the second RG i bought (first one was the Zeong) and it's a joy to put together After the MK2 i have a Sazabi a Z'gok and a RX-93 that wait for me :)

[@liam.6755]

15:38 perfect I'm planning to buy this because it's so simple and at the same time it's cool 😎

[@chandrazeng]

Most of the pros and cons you mentioned is on point, and that RG Sinanju also broke my heart, very beautiful but the inner frame is very disappointing. Nice video btw, very informative.

[@zethythonix]

Thanks!

[@Scurpmun]

funnily enough. The first 2 kits I've ever built were RG 2 and RG 16. While I definitely see the issues with early RGs. they have actually been really fun to me. Though the RG2's posablity, bazooka storage, and pipes are the 3 biggest issues, I can heavily agree. besides that, I can say they're not bad. You have to know what you are getting into and once you understand that. That looks IMO over right the flaws. Hell, I have RG1 and RG 4 already sitting in my room waiting to be built and I'm kinda looking forward to it. even with knowing how bad ERS is.

[@TableTopBiker]

Thank you for posting this video. I am new to the Hobby and you just saved me a lot of money I'm sure.

[@NachozMan]

Love you for this, as a new Gunpla hobbiest I have been super daunted on buying anything beyond HG Zaku 2's lmfao

[@sharpshot117]

I've never had a single problem with the zephyranthes, and I've had it for about 3 years now

[@Kpdxx1]

Same here no issues

[@JoBro622]

for rx-78 just buy the origin or the 3.0 master grades.

[@LeonedeBeaumont]

I never had problem with the Early RG issues since I can actually fix the joints going loose. Just an easy fix. At first I got frustrated but after a few minutes them tries, I learned how to fix it and happy with every RGs now 😊

[@beefimusprime10]

How do you fix it tho? Mind sharing?

[@hijous]

super glue on the joint or something?

[@LeonedeBeaumont]

@@beefimusprime10 it's a bit complocatwd to explain but what I did to tighten the loose joints would be popping out the joint from the socket then put superglue (one that cures at least 20 sec9nds to a minute) then put it on the socket. Rotate the joint within the socket then pop out the joint then let it cure / dry then pit the joint back then see check the articulation 👍

[@loo187]

RG wing zero fun to build and pose. But careful when trying to transform it. Or swap hands etc.parts just keep falling off.

[@Chromico]

Me putting an RG Zeta together as my first gunpla: Man this thing is such a pain in the ass. everything just keeps falling apart as I'm just trying to finish it. I hope they're not all like this. Everyone : RG Zeta is the worst RG ever.

[@AcezB3ARKILL3R]

As someone who has built quite a few rgs here are my opinions Aile strike - nice and still holding strong Justice - shoulder and elbows a little loose, otherwise still solid Destiny - all joints perfect and holding strong Strike freedom - all joints strong and no issues holding any weapons Unicorn normal - currently building / skirts are a little loose Crossbone - super sturdy God gundam - perfect kit Still have banshee unicorn to build, I also have zeta, rx-78-2 and mkII coming in from Japan soon so we’ll see how they hold up

[@brentatbluenovaproductions2136]

My RG RX-78-01 exploded like a grenade during an earthquake in California. It was so fragile. VS the RG Crossbone which is the best kit I've ever built. That kit is so freaking awesome.

[@dannyaoi1620]

Hi I'd like to ask a question. There are 2 types of RG unicorn and apparently both of their box is different, there is one normal and one premium, is there any difference with the quality or anything about it?

[@zethythonix]

The premium unicorn mode box is the same thing, just with a different cover and a bit of different decals (if I didn’t remember it wrong)

[@dannyaoi1620]

@@zethythonix thank you for the info

[@JzuroichiSatoshi]

Im new to this and luckily i bought force impulse rg even before seeing this video. I'll be slowly getting your recommended rgs, thanks for this great video.

[@AzureViking]

My favorite series is the RG series. RG RX-78-2 is what got me serious about building Gunpla. I almost build exclusively RG kits at this point. I am 18/37 on RG kits so far. I love RG detailing and prefer the smaller scale actually as its easier to make shelf space for them all lol. That being said I don't understand the hatred towards early RG kits. I know some of em are a bit fragile, but I'd say most of the issues are workable and they still look fantastic.

[@parad0x765]

Any tips on Crossbone, I plan on buying it soon(always liked its unique design)

[@zethythonix]

The eyepatch is so small and easy to lost

[@faisalshukri3896]

Just glue the rg zeta on the wing and i personally stuff tissue in the torso to give it some support. But all i know is you should just poe it in one mode or the other
