And if we really want to see Mecha lose even more of his sanity we should make him re-review the RG Zeta Gundam and/or review the Master Grade 1.0 Zeta Gundam.
I just painted this kit! Made the pink "pinker" and replaced the dark blue with chrome. I'm using the jetpack thing as bits for a MG Kyrios kitbash. ...and one of my foot plates was loose too.
@@chiewie0165 Easiest way is to apply superglue (NOT model cement) to the peg and leave it to dry for a day or two, then reassemble. It adds some mass, increasing friction.
RG Justice got me into the hobby almost a year ago and I was absolutely floored by how amazing the build process was. However, when I got to the part where I was trying to pose the kit, I had the exact same spiral as Mecha did here 😅 A stunning kit for sure, but it definitely needs quite a bit of work in order to stay solid
The widespread right hand was supposed to be used with the freedom to do the scene where they reach out each other if I recall correctly. Its shown on the other half of the box where they show the suit's different scales
from my experience with RG kits I can now tell the difference between the old ones and the newer ones with how their inner-frames look: - old inner-frames = looks skinny like a stickman. - newer inner-frames = looks beefier and has more mass.
@@basshibiki The RG 00 kits have you reinforce the advanced ms joint frame with additional parts. They were like a transitionary stage between old RGs and modern RGs.
@@OtonashiV agree, you could also say that the QANT is the earliest progenitor of the omission of the pre-built inner frame that's present in newer RGs. Because the arm parts is built up from scratch, no frames whatsoever. But dont quote me on this though, there could be RGs earlier than the QANT that omitted the inner frame to a certain degree, I didn't build every single RGs that has been released though so correct me if I'm wrong
@@bagassmaradeva2148 I bought one and so far it's solid enough. One arm is loose, but that's because I pulled the shoulder out of its socket. The shield sucks
7:30 5 years ago, I had the RG Justice, and I lost that exact part 😔😔 I actually played with it a lot when I had it still complete, didn't have your problem of things falling off like that. Damn, you make it so funny to watch 😁😁😁
Personally feel like you should revisit this kit and do a video on tightening/ cementing up the pieces. I saw this video and got one knowing I had to cement as I went along, but the end result is beyond worth it. Also this kit is begging to be panel lined, especially on the Fatum wings. It’d be an awesome Re.view and tutorial. This kit is honestly amazing for how much flak early real grades get. Albeit I am new to the hobby and this is my 4th build, I was extremely happy with the end result!
Also this review convinced me even more to just stick to getting recent RG releases, like the Force Impulse and Nu Gundam which I both have. I absolutely adore those two kits to pieces
Seen some people on Twitter caring way too much about what you do with your kits. So just want to say that I appreciate the robust stress testing you do
It is my first rg, I just bought it yesterday, now it only remains the skeleton cuz accessories keeps falling off and the weapon broke cuz it has a frickin bad plastic
My early rg kits still retain their tightness after years of being moved shelf to shelf ( well apart from my rg unicorn ( ✋✋ not what you think. / 2 broken v fins broken arm joint and wonky shoulder armour \ 😭😭😭 he fell off the shelf while I was putting a new kit there ,bye bye fixed open v fin and arm moved to a safer shelf and dropped it while dusting bye bye v fin 2 ,movable , cracked shoulder armour connection 😭😭😭 ) I'll have to replace it one day
@@transformersrevenge9 I don’t think you can be a “bad RG builder” Early real grade syndrome is just what he calls it but it is true that old rg’s do have problems to get loose
@@spiralanimations7736 I do think that you can either be a very careful and good builder, or you can be someone who slaps kits together, to pump out one review after another. I have personally built a few kits from the early RG line, and while there are some problems and room for improvement, overall they are pretty solid kits. And I have had this discussion with many gunpla builders on both reddit and /m/, and a lot of them believe as I do, that early RG syndrome is highly exaggerated.
I'm so grateful for this video, I was going insane thinking I had assembled it incorrectly. The damn thing keeps falling apart and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't pose it on a current action base. Thanks for letting me know I am not crazy.
Mecha: "Ah shit, my turntable broke. How am I going to show off the box for the opening shots" * slowly looks at hands * "wait a minute...." * *Turns hands* * "WAIT A MINUTE"
8:11 they fall because you didn't lock it, I also had that problem at the beggining but I just had to look a little bit longer and closer You will notice that it has a slide mechanic close to those cilinder
RG Justice Gundam Pros: Looks great! Athrun Zala Has nice color separation Incredible amount of detail Fatum 00 Cons: Falls apart Falls apart easily Falls apart EXTREMELY EASILY FALLS APART LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT But hey, atleast it looks good.
It started out so good....then slowly, mecha descends into madness! These older real grades looked awesome, but man, they were horrible in almost every other aspect. I had the aile strike and it drove me crazy. The strike and the GP01 are the only rg I've ever built. I wouldn't mind trying a newer one out but I won't go near the older ones
Still waiting for the RG Infinite Justice. The HGCE version is already good enough; I can't imagine how good the RG Infinite Justice is gonna be especially with how great recent RGs are.
My bro built this as his first kit, the fatum 00 leg attachment flipping thingy was loose on one side and I recommend to take good care of the kit, especially the joints
And here I was hoping I just happened to have a bad one. I've only bought 3 RG kits, Justice, Exia, and Strike Freedom. I thought the SF was the Freedom, so when I realized the mistake, I gave it to my brother as his first ever gunpla (SF is his favorite gundam). I nipped off a nub on the Exia's shoulders that I learned were actually meant for the GN condensers and so had to buy a second copy to actually put the shoulders on. The Justice is the reason I went out and finally bought super glue. The barrels of the Fatum just would not stay on and the v-fin and kneecaps are made of explodium. The head likes to pop off for no reason and those stupid pieces in the wrist drive me nuts. And yes, the footpad also likes to jump ship. It's my only gundam I still have standing in it's box just to prevent the pieces from going too far. Compared to MG, RG is just too small for my beefy hands, and I'll likely not buy another. This is too bad because the Justice and Infinite Justice are up there near the top of my favorite gundams. I really hope the MG are better than this thing, assuming they ever fulfill my backorders. EDIT: Oh, I meant to ask, how did you get the front of your Fatum to close? Mine still has a gap between pieces.
just built this one myself. had the EXACT same problem with both little feet flaps on the flight unit. ended up just stashing them back in the box. beautiful build though
I got to build RG recently, always went for MG/Hirm and PG… my first RG it was the strike… that is a stunner, but a lot of the problems I saw in this review reminded me of it… for me is the heels that keep falling off… and to fix the peg of the rifle… don’t even want to think about it 😆
I notice that your box has red logo Bandai, that's mean it was before the reconstruction of the company, and old kits from that are maybe not as good as now. Mine has blue logo and I gotta say that's very different from yours. It doesn't loose at all and it's look fantastic. I like it even more than my full amor unicore.
One of my goals is to collect and paint rg kits, i like your reviews of older rg kits so i can get a better idea of its weaker points and find solutions to it
Great. Now I'm the one having flashbacks of my early RG builds way back when they were first released. I gotta retreat into the warm company of RG Nu and RG Sazabi to recover my sanity...
I have RG Justice and RG Freedom they're like bombs literally explodes when you hold them 🤣 glued some of their parts and fixed them in an action base 👍
I didn't have any problems with parts falling apart with my RG Justice besides the cuff like part on the hands. Are you sure you're not having an off day? You DID have to wiki information that's literally on the box and manual after all.
I did this kit over lockdown, and finally completed it, tried to put the backpack on, and plastic explosion. Everything collapsed, parts went everywhere, RARRR. I usually am pretty chill with RG's, they are my favorite grade, but Justice pushed my limits of patience.
Yes, the tiny bit on where the justice stand is loose. I have mine too and it drives me mad every time I touch it Yes, the RG for me is all just loose, basically a hand grenade if putting on your term Yes, I am tired of building RG so I was moving on to just building MG, some HG on occasion.
During a certain scene, the Justice is using its LEFT hand to reach for the Freedom using its RIGHT. The Freedom doesn't include an open right hand in the box.
@MechaGaikotsu are you going to cover clear color gundams? The blacklight effect works really well with trans am kits especially the clear color Trans Am OO Raiser.
The early real grades are great kits if you give them lots of TLC, time, and patience. It’s easy to be scared off by them as a newcomer if you don’t feel like you have the steady hands to construct and take care of them, and maintain them once they’re built. But it’s still completely possible to enjoy them if you’re careful. This is not a bronze tier kit in my opinion, it just takes longer to pose and accessorize to your liking than other model grades would; there’s a difference between a bad kit and a fragile kit that requires attention and patience. That said don’t get the RG Zeta, for your sanity’s sake.
He is a bad RG builder. There is no such thing as "early real grade syndrome". It's half assed building that's at fault here. Me and my brother each built our own Justice Gundam, and I took it very slowly and carefully. In the end, mine ended up being nice, solid and perfectly fine, while his snapbuild was more on the wonky side. And you have to remember that this guy just quickly slaps kits together, for the reviewers.
@@hijous …you have a point with that one, I don’t think the RG Sinanju can be saved. But I do have to say that my RG Justice is in perfect condition after a good amount of handling and posing.
10:05 The spread right hand was used for recreating the iconic scene when freedom trying to catch justice hand when they leaving onogoro island with kusanagi
This is actually my first ever Real Grade. Got them when its somehow on discount back then for like half or two-third of price. This is one of the last few Gundams I build before I go to Japan, and got my chance to buy my first ever MG, 00 Gundam.
Knowing that i also have and built that kit, im very relatable in your reaction how clumsy the kit is, just every move there will be something popping off
I bought this as my first ever Gunpla on Monday… Just finished building it, and was getting extremely frustrated trying to pose it. I thought I’d done something wrong, but this video makes me feel a lot better about the whole thing. It was fun to build, and I’ve already bought an MG kit as my next build, but this one is probably going into storage because I don’t want to touch it anymore.
My RG Justice is doing well. None of the stuff falls off. But the left foot pad on the glider is floppy-floppy like yours, so I think it's an every kit thing. Also, that widespread open right hand is to recreate the scene with the Freedom pulling the Justice onto the shuttle just before they launch into space. You need the RG Freedom, as that one comes with a widespread hand, too.
I've recently seen a weird thing in a stall. It was a huge blister card with "Gendom Seed Destiny" and this guy on a picture. The actual toy on the blister was a weird black and gold Gundam without a V-fin.
Oh thank God. I thought I was the only one with this problem on this kit. I never had this problem with the RG Wing EW or the RG Freedom. It was just with this kit
I wonder if they will ever do like a RG 1/100 and then make the MG obsolete. Sometimes I like RGs more than MGs but it's just the size I mainly have issues with.
I built mine last April and I have the same issue with those flippers on the Fatum. But it went away with the help of top coat. Also unlike the Freedom, RG Justice can stood on its own thanks to both the Fatum and the provided stand, which is also amazing as it fits well with the base of the small stand that came with Amatsu Mina, Hana and Qan [T]. As for posing it in a base, I prefer placing the base on the Fatum. And it's fun making it do some Green Goblin pose. My only issue with this kit is the shield can be annoying at times, but I just tend to store it
i guess im pretty lucky then. rg justice was my first ever gunpla. i have for almost a year now yet it still held up nicely. had to glue some parts but not as bad as yours tho. the only real problem that i have with this kit is the connection peg for the shield is really bad.
Ahhh, yesss...the blue Sharpie that's so dark, it looks purple when it dries. Looks like the flight pack is a bit of a proverbial hand grenade...tryna take the Justice itself with it.
It was probably because he decided to be a complete idiot for a moment when attaching that hand because why would you hold it by the chest when that’s one of the worst possible spot on a kit to hold by when doing that.
@@shauqiharris2772 should have been more specific, the part where he starts losing his mind and when the Justice’s parts kept coming off summarizes my experience with the Epyon Gundam
ok, RG its not for u guys if: you looking for something toy-ish, and like to pose and play around, especially the early one. the early one you have to treat it like a model kit, built > pose > admire. with the recent one u can pose it around i believe, since its become more solid and playable. i've build the early RGs like strike, MK2, sinanju, freedom, exia, and astray red frame. and my recommendation is go with MK2, exia, arf, strike and freedom if u want early RG that can withstand some posing...
The Fatum-00 of mine on the right foot flap is also loose - while I fixed most of the parts by cementing the yellow sections, it really makes me sad that the Justice can’t hold the backpack up properly
This kit was my first ever gunpla Kit. Honestly I don’t have too much trouble with this kit. The parts which gave me headaches was the boomerang and the V fins. Soo I just gave up changing the post for this kit and now it has the same post for like 4 years now😂😂
@@kivulifenrir oh wow, thats nice to know. I am actually considering of getting one myself because i love the design and looks, but just a bit skeptical due to some of the old aspects of the old rg lineups (like posable rg hands not able to hold weapons anymore, the MS joint loosening up etc).
just bought this and I approved the problem with head, knee cap , and wrist palm. They easily fall if over apply pressure. Also foot base and yellow flap at the jetpack (but dont care much at all). Color separation is soo cool and we never really get a RG gundam with free jetpack except justice.
Not a single piece has ever fallen off of my justice in the 3 years I’ve had it built. I’ve posed and reposed this thing and nothing has ever fallen off. It’s a model kit, not a toy, so if you treat it as what it is supposed to be it’ll hold up just fine.
@@Ultima013 I have the PB Phase Shift Down version, also rock solid, no problems, gets pose adjusts depending on when displayed with PB RG Phase Shift Down Freedom, solo, or stuffed into the HG Meteor Unit.
I had it the last year. Panel Lines and decal adding make super awesome. The only i didn't like was backpack plane, it is too heavy for RG body to stand well.
I had one of these.I spray painted it all black, coated it in sugar and salt and buried it in my yard… two weeks later dug it up and stuck it in a big wasp nest. They made their home around his eyes… ten days later I pulled him out of the wasp nest, tied a string around his leg and swung him around my head very vigorously…the figure was making a humming noise as it cut circles in the air. But then the string broke at its weakest point and the figure went flying into the woods where it will rest for another seven days before I go get it again
My part complaints on this kit were also the wing tips, knee caps, the same left side[right foot] on the flight pack, and then the peg for the shield in to arm always falls out. That aside I am a RG stan and loved the frustration this kit gave me.
0:36 yeah the number shown on the manual's cover (at 0:40 ) is actually indicative of what number release a particular model kit is. So "09 Justice Gundam" = 9th RG released.
Its really impressive how much bandai has improved the rg line,newer rg’s are leagues beyond this
Bandai learns with every kit hence evolution project ( and people hating on older kits )
I like how this video is just Mecha slowly losing his sanity over 17 minutes
And if we really want to see Mecha lose even more of his sanity we should make him re-review the RG Zeta Gundam and/or review the Master Grade 1.0 Zeta Gundam.
Can't say I blame him. I had the exact same experience wit this kit.

He is a bad RG builder. There is no such thing as "early real grade syndrome". It's half assed building that's at fault here. Me and my brother each built our own Justice Gundam, and I took it very slowly and carefully. In the end, mine ended up being nice, solid and perfectly fine, while his snapbuild was more on the wonky side. And you have to remember that this guy just quickly slaps kits together, for the reviewers.
@@transformersrevenge9 bruh. I take my time building rg sinanju but it's still not a solid kit. Part falling a part and the joint is loose af.
@@hijous …you have a point with that one, I don’t think the RG Sinanju can be saved. But I do have to say that my RG Justice is in perfect condition after a good amount of handling and posing.
too bad as I got TWO RG zetas and posed them once and never touched them again
RG Zeta, the Holy Hand Grenade of Gunpla
This kit adds a whole new meaning to mobile doll with those joints.

The spread right hand was used for recreating the iconic scene when freedom trying to catch justice hand when they leaving onogoro island with kusanagi
This is actually my first ever Real Grade. Got them when its somehow on discount back then for like half or two-third of price. This is one of the last few Gundams I build before I go to Japan, and got my chance to buy my first ever MG, 00 Gundam.
Knowing that i also have and built that kit, im very relatable in your reaction how clumsy the kit is, just every move there will be something popping off
Hey mecha Gaikotsu, what was your first gunpla you've built?
I just built mine, but mine did not come with clear navy blue, mine was just clear
I love how this review started positive then ended up being a disaster.
Just like SEED itself.

I bought this as my first ever Gunpla on Monday… Just finished building it, and was getting extremely frustrated trying to pose it. I thought I’d done something wrong, but this video makes me feel a lot better about the whole thing. It was fun to build, and I’ve already bought an MG kit as my next build, but this one is probably going into storage because I don’t want to touch it anymore.
My RG Justice is doing well. None of the stuff falls off. But the left foot pad on the glider is floppy-floppy like yours, so I think it's an every kit thing. Also, that widespread open right hand is to recreate the scene with the Freedom pulling the Justice onto the shuttle just before they launch into space. You need the RG Freedom, as that one comes with a widespread hand, too.
I've recently seen a weird thing in a stall. It was a huge blister card with "Gendom Seed Destiny" and this guy on a picture. The actual toy on the blister was a weird black and gold Gundam without a V-fin.
After I built this, I just did a few poses, and then just glued all the joints permanently, similar to the MG 2.0’s box art pose.
hey mechaguy are you still gonna make a video about your ibo guts custom gundam?
He also said he was going to do a Mecha Gaikotsu custom using the head from the Dantalion
was thinkin of getting the RG Justice for a actual green goblin build and no i think im just gonna get the HG infinite instead
Oh thank God. I thought I was the only one with this problem on this kit. I never had this problem with the RG Wing EW or the RG Freedom. It was just with this kit
Seeing the thumbnail, wow I want the kit!
Watches halfway through, maybe not.
Also he should make a food review channel. It DOES look tasty....
Mecha Gaikotsu my man, seeing you just gave me my nightmarish flashbacks to when I tried building this Fragile son of B.
This kit sucks.
Ah yes, the Gundam that wishes to be the Pink Goblin.
I wonder if they will ever do like a RG 1/100 and then make the MG obsolete. Sometimes I like RGs more than MGs but it's just the size I mainly have issues with.
The joint connecting the wing really weak, mine broke after a few swing
I built mine last April and I have the same issue with those flippers on the Fatum. But it went away with the help of top coat. Also unlike the Freedom, RG Justice can stood on its own thanks to both the Fatum and the provided stand, which is also amazing as it fits well with the base of the small stand that came with Amatsu Mina, Hana and Qan [T]. As for posing it in a base, I prefer placing the base on the Fatum. And it's fun making it do some Green Goblin pose. My only issue with this kit is the shield can be annoying at times, but I just tend to store it
i guess im pretty lucky then. rg justice was my first ever gunpla. i have for almost a year now yet it still held up nicely. had to glue some parts but not as bad as yours tho. the only real problem that i have with this kit is the connection peg for the shield is really bad.
any solution you've done about the sheild?
Ahhh, yesss...the blue Sharpie that's so dark, it looks purple when it dries.
Looks like the flight pack is a bit of a proverbial hand grenade...tryna take the Justice itself with it.

It was probably because he decided to be a complete idiot for a moment when attaching that hand because why would you hold it by the chest when that’s one of the worst possible spot on a kit to hold by when doing that.
There's no need to check the Wiki, the big number in the side of the box tells you which number that kit is.
This basically summarizes my experience with the Epyon Gundam
What??
@@shauqiharris2772 should have been more specific, the part where he starts losing his mind and when the Justice’s parts kept coming off summarizes my experience with the Epyon Gundam
ok, RG its not for u guys if: you looking for something toy-ish, and like to pose and play around, especially the early one. the early one you have to treat it like a model kit, built > pose > admire. with the recent one u can pose it around i believe, since its become more solid and playable. i've build the early RGs like strike, MK2, sinanju, freedom, exia, and astray red frame. and my recommendation is go with MK2, exia, arf, strike and freedom if u want early RG that can withstand some posing...
I adore the RG Justice. I did use some super glue to hold some parts on but its just fantastic looking.
OMG you really lucky to have that eclipse pre ordered
The Fatum-00 of mine on the right foot flap is also loose - while I fixed most of the parts by cementing the yellow sections, it really makes me sad that the Justice can’t hold the backpack up properly
My first RG and i love it
This was my first kit.,now my room looks like a hobbystore.
This kit was my first ever gunpla Kit. Honestly I don’t have too much trouble with this kit. The parts which gave me headaches was the boomerang and the V fins. Soo I just gave up changing the post for this kit and now it has the same post for like 4 years now😂😂
i would really love to know hows the RG Mk-II hold up
Like a brick shithouse. Years later and mine isn't loose, doesn't lose parts, poses just as great as it did when freshly finished.
@@kivulifenrir oh wow, thats nice to know.
I am actually considering of getting one myself because i love the design and looks, but just a bit skeptical due to some of the old aspects of the old rg lineups (like posable rg hands not able to hold weapons anymore, the MS joint loosening up etc).
just bought this and I approved the problem with head, knee cap , and wrist palm. They easily fall if over apply pressure. Also foot base and yellow flap at the jetpack (but dont care much at all). Color separation is soo cool and we never really get a RG gundam with free jetpack except justice.
Not a single piece has ever fallen off of my justice in the 3 years I’ve had it built. I’ve posed and reposed this thing and nothing has ever fallen off. It’s a model kit, not a toy, so if you treat it as what it is supposed to be it’ll hold up just fine.
man you're just plain lucky for real
@@Ultima013 I have the PB Phase Shift Down version, also rock solid, no problems, gets pose adjusts depending on when displayed with PB RG Phase Shift Down Freedom, solo, or stuffed into the HG Meteor Unit.
It's called a lucky draw in my case with my rg.
Lucky dude.
@@kivulifenrir then there are two of your kind lmao 😂 no shade here
Thank you for putting yourself through this for the sake of the review
Mecha from the past: "I haven't built the Rg Justice yet but i should get to it"
Me: *Laughs in pain*
Still waiting for the HGCE justice gundam (not the 'infinity one') and the HGCE aegis gundam
I had it the last year. Panel Lines and decal adding make super awesome. The only i didn't like was backpack plane, it is too heavy for RG body to stand well.
Yeah. I think I'm gonna just wait for an HGCE Justice Gundam now.
Yeah and they should release HGCE Aegis Gundam as well.

I had one of these.I spray painted it all black, coated it in sugar and salt and buried it in my yard… two weeks later dug it up and stuck it in a big wasp nest. They made their home around his eyes… ten days later I pulled him out of the wasp nest, tied a string around his leg and swung him around my head very vigorously…the figure was making a humming noise as it cut circles in the air. But then the string broke at its weakest point and the figure went flying into the woods where it will rest for another seven days before I go get it again
Justice Gundam always reminds me of Aegis Gundam, piloted by Athurn Zala, the rival of Kira Yamato.
It has a resemblance
Justice Gundam is basically a successor to Aegis Gundam.
@@shauqiharris2772 We know. At least I know.
Its been a long time that we see Mecha G gets angry on a gunpla but this one takes the cake for now.
My part complaints on this kit were also the wing tips, knee caps, the same left side[right foot] on the flight pack, and then the peg for the shield in to arm always falls out. That aside I am a RG stan and loved the frustration this kit gave me.
0:36 yeah the number shown on the manual's cover (at 0:40 ) is actually indicative of what number release a particular model kit is. So "09 Justice Gundam" = 9th RG released.
if you love the justice and want it in 1/144 scale youre pretty SOL cuz this is the only modern kit in this scale for the justice
"The first real grade I ever put together was the Zeta Gundam"
Ok thats your own damn fault right there.
Yep i need much effort to pose this kit everything just fall off
But its still better than sinanju
