I think this review is awesome in the fact that you went ahead and put the stickers on the kit. In the past you haven’t because you wanted to show us a straight out of the box review. And because stickers don’t look good on colored plastic, but these large color correcting stickers needed to be applied ! And I think the overall review looks more polished like this.
The Ver. Ka. is my favourite design of the RX-78-2. It is really a shame not to have it in 1/144 scale but what is a bigger shame is that the HG Gundam unit 04 & 05 were released as P-Bandai in a time when there are already far too few HGUC releases.
I’ve actually had the idea, and probably not the first to have this, to make a 1/144 RX-78-2 using GM Custom and GM Type-C parts. It’s body is mostly the same as the GM Custom, really just need to slap a Gundam head and the GM backpack with an extra beam saber and the GM shoulders.
@@senpaihentaithehentailord2073 the 3 is mostly a recolor of the RX-78-2. There's a HG of that one called the Beyond Global and they just repainted it with the G-3 colors and market it as a P-Bandai Beyond Global RX-78-3
@@senpaihentaithehentailord2073 now if you meant the 04 and 05, they're pretty much the same just as shown in this video. Just different colors, chest vent variations, and their special heavy weapons are different. Not much different between them other than those key points.
I'm currently working on the 04. None of my local hobby stores took pre orders for this so I might have to pass up on it. Too bad, since the red looks cool.
13:13 I remember seeing many moons ago instructions on how to kitbash your own Gundam Ver.Ka from existing HGUCs with minimal modifications (can't find the original post now but I think it used a lot of GM Type C and GM Custom for the main body). Might be cool for a future project idea *wink wink*
Purple! I Think that would look cool but it would actually be a mix of the two colors already existing. If you made it yellow then they could be all primary colors
And ah yes, the perennial debate over "should I get the MG or HG?" resumes. EDIT: Re: the ammo belt, might another issue be that it's too rigid? The moment I saw it on the runner I suspected it might not be adequately flexible. On the MG, you can mitigate the issue by either omitting belt "chains" or cutting the length of wires a bit longer than the manual tells you to. But the ammo belt being one solid piece... I'm not all that surprised that it's proven difficult to work with.
0:15 Oh boy! Bandai just made an HGUC version of the Gundam Unit 5 from that Encounters in Space video game! 2:17 Nevermind UPDATE: I SUCCESSFULLY PREORDER ONE!
Is it me, or do P-Bandai kits feel like the exact opposite of "premium" kits? The boxes are plain with only one color, the instruction manuals aren't even in color, and they don't really come with anything that I would say warrants attaching the word "premium." Some are cool, like the Heavyarms Igel, but other than that it's all marketing hype.
The definition of premium has nothing to do with the quality of the stuff Bandai puts on there. It's premium in name and that's kinda where the line ends. It's like how Perfect Grade kits aren't perfect and that's that. It's just a label.
P-bandai are just bandai online store that sells kits directly to their customers, nothing "Premium"....it's just name. Those kits are not meant to display in the store, that's why most of the box are monotone with CG rendered images.
Just want to let you know that i love all your intro bits shenanigans.
Thank you 🙏
I know Im kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Valentin Yosef ehh atm I have been using flixportal. just search on google after it =) -christian

Ford Romfellow is literally the Hot Rod of the One Year War. Except he has an actual character arc.
Keep up the good work also the intros just keep getting better and better.

One of the coolest looking of the RX-78 gundams
I have both of the brother gundams. Love them and their color schemes.
@@StormGundam cus 04 and 03 are about the same how good is 03?

@@StormGundam ohh ok so it's a recolor
I would love to see a HGUC Perfect Gundam. Even if it was P-bandai at this point. THe MG is always so hard to find, its always out of stock. XD
I wish they reprinted the MG. :(
I love looking at this mobile suit.
You can put the canister on the same side as the gatling gun to get more slack. I saw this in another RUclips review of this kit.
I miss the old days where we get better color separation, and 3 type manipulators in a single box (GM Kai, Custom, GM Cannon II, etc)
the custom was my first custom.
To be fair, the Gundam itself besides the weapons has impressive color separation, the fact the yellow on the face area is part separated is amusing.
The beam rifle looks like a mash of the og and MK ii Gundam beam rifle
Loved your little bit. Or should I say bite?
I agree the ver. Ka looks amazing
@@Gunpla_shrimp I was talking bout rx78 ver ka.i agree they should make a hg
that was one heck of an intro
wish they add 2 more red parts for back leg thruster...
I'm currently working on the 04. None of my local hobby stores took pre orders for this so I might have to pass up on it. Too bad, since the red looks cool.
I've been waiting for this the 04 was awesome, I'm sure this one would be too.
Now you have completed all of the RX-78 releases!
Forbidden Snack
These are cool designs!
How about the HG Extreme Gundam type leos?
Are you going to review it?
Next
@@ZakuAurelius You're in for ride dude.
this is also very similar to the pale rider

Interesting indeed!
these intros are getting better andf better
they make me smile
As much as the mg is old I still prefer that over this not just because of size but better colour separation
Every 5 years we get a new HG RX-78 and who knows, G45 might be based on the Katoki lineart
Delicious cherry-flavored P Bandai Boxes
C'mon man don't eat boxes 😂
If bandai would release a HG RX 78-2 ver ka. It's probably gonna be p-bandai as well.
The stickers on the shield made me visibly recoil.
My folks accidentally bought me a second G04, so I'm gonna make a third unit with a big sword...but what color should it be?
Purple! I Think that would look cool but it would actually be a mix of the two colors already existing. If you made it yellow then they could be all primary colors
I think you're holding the gatling gun upside down, that's why it looks and poses weird
I prefer a 2.0 treatment for the MG kit.
We need all of the RX-78-02.
And ah yes, the perennial debate over "should I get the MG or HG?" resumes.

It would be nice to find MG versions but every time I do they want double.
His smile when he was biting the box is a treasure
So the grip isn't unusual!
I'm kind of disappointed that we are getting more P-bandai kits rather than regular released kits
Wowzers
Gandamu, ikimasu!
weeb
i swear to god one day these intros will turn into some cursed ass shits that belongs in the dark history
The great P-Bandai disaster of 2021... :(
where is the review for the hg extreme gundam? 🥺
Next!
HG have better color separation than MG.
Yikes, well the MG is quite old already...
It factually doesn’t, but alright my dude.
Not really, the MG has better color separation (Shield)
Ah yes. A P-Bandai based on a P-Bandai based on a P-Bandai. I love it when something so dumb exists.
I saw you've reviewed the MG G05 4 years ago, was hoping you'd review them side by side. Disappointed.
I already painted and sold that MG. How am I supposed to get it back for a comparison?
Red boi
0:15 Oh boy! Bandai just made an HGUC version of the Gundam Unit 5 from that Encounters in Space video game!
2:17 Nevermind
UPDATE: I SUCCESSFULLY PREORDER ONE!
Lmao what was that intro
I love it
2:25 premium? What a fucking joke a high ass price just because theres the word premium on it
Is it me, or do P-Bandai kits feel like the exact opposite of "premium" kits? The boxes are plain with only one color, the instruction manuals aren't even in color, and they don't really come with anything that I would say warrants attaching the word "premium."

They make stuff you can't get anytime
Then they just go "stop complaining, just buy the product"
The definition of premium has nothing to do with the quality of the stuff Bandai puts on there. It's premium in name and that's kinda where the line ends.
It's like how Perfect Grade kits aren't perfect and that's that. It's just a label.
Premium bandai is purely a line for exclusives. Bandai does not advertise them as anything but that.
P-bandai are just bandai online store that sells kits directly to their customers, nothing "Premium"....it's just name. Those kits are not meant to display in the store, that's why most of the box are monotone with CG rendered images.
