    If the frame wasn't so flawed, this kit would be amazing. Even despite the frame's usual troubles, I still think this kit is good. It's just a hassle to pose without tightening most of the joints.

    • @mj2005gundam

    This thing did not skip leg day at all but man out of the box the color separation is not that good. I thought it would be good because I noticed that there were some spots where you could have some yellow parts in but nope you still have to use a s*** ton of stickers. And even without the stickers the coloring is just off like you need to go full all out to make it look anime accurate. Overall this is a meh kit on all fronts and not even the cool super robot wars attack of a drill kick is enough to make a buy worth it. Good job overall!

    • @mj2005gundam
      @mj2005gundam  2 месяца назад

  • @HidaAtarasi

    I wonder how the Gundam frame kits would fare with the shoulder polycaps replaced with polystyrene parts? They’re common in 30 Minutes Missions kits, since they don’t use typical polycap parts, but do use standard shoulder engineering.
    Lupus Rex uses improved polycap-free shoulders, and to good effect.

    • @mj2005gundam
      @mj2005gundam  2 месяца назад

      To be fair, the Lupus Rex joints on my older copy from release ended up like a biscuit after years of display, so it isn't really a perfect solution in the long run, or that's just my beginner faults showing on that kit. But have these IBO kits with heavier weapons had the polystyrene joints, they'd be a lot more enjoyable right out of the box

    I wonder why there are quite many cases where the lineart and the gunpla final product have quite major color differences? Did they change their mind when the anime/gunpla release or it was just miscommunication?

    • @mj2005gundam
      @mj2005gundam  2 месяца назад +1

      Someone told me part of the reason why is due to how plastic molding isn't like using the dropper tool in a sketchbook software. But there also might be cases of internal miscommunication or something that caused the colors to go off. IDK, I'm not too knowledgeable on how corporate conference rooms and injection molding work.

    I went back and watched one of your video’s from a year ago, and saw that the RG 00 Qan[T] Full Saber got a “Recommended”, despite the fact that the original RG 00 Qan[T] you also reviewed before, got a “Suit Yourself,” literally the only difference the two was the GN Sword IV Full Saber, and that GN Drive sticking out

    • @mj2005gundam
      @mj2005gundam  2 месяца назад

      Correct. The shield movement isn't as relied on in the Full Saber, and there's the modular GN Sword IV to mess with on top of the standard loadout. The main issue that docked the standard kit was the shield loosening up extremely quickly, and the reliance on said movement in spite of the issue

    @joyoobility9176 2 месяца назад

    Ah yes, the good times when we thought the Seven Stars Sigils are hints for their respective gundam frames. Good times.
    Still, Kimaris is honestly one of my favourite gundam frames. Most probably due to my over obsession with purple. Also, the mohawk helmet of the Kimaris(Calamity War) does bring light to a seahorse-like feel to the gundan frame, but it could just be me.

    A key thing for handling a giant lance is to hook the weapon-handle slightly underneath the side-rib part only to counter the weapon weight. I guess you already done that at near the end clip though. 😁😁

      All ibo Gundam frames kits suffer from the same problem/issue. Some more some less. Now for other mobile suit the graze and its predecessor Gairail and that predecessor the Valkriya frame kits are solid because they use the same frame kit.
      But now for the other mobile suit like the rodi and Hugo frame idk because I don’t own them. Though that more of the fact that they’re aren’t reprinted for a while.
      The main issue is that Bandai have these kits with heavy and big weapons and used poly caps which will eventually sagged. Now for modern hg kit tech may at first fix the problem because most kits are plastic on plastic but Bandai ain’t going to do that because money.

Even when the Vidar has the wrong colors, it still at least resembles the design colors instead of being someone's botched idea of a custom paint job.
