Just be thankful Bandai even thought of RG Zeta in the 1st place. Problems aside, shrinking MG esque capabilities in 144 isnt exactly an easy thing to do with a fully transformable inner frame. Now finally my 144 The O will have a score to settle with
Thanks for the look rrobbert! I like this kit. I think the details bring the MS to life, and it is something I would want to have displayed on my shelf. Unfortunately I am going to have to major league pass on this kit. I just can't deal with the loose joints like that. I am sure somebody is going to enjoy this kit, though.
One problem i noticed while building this kit: The b-plate joint at the top of the arms (the joint that allows the arms to fold under the body when transforming) is so tight that it caused the plastic around it to turn white (a sure sign that it'll break eventually). I ended up having to lubricate it to alleviate stress.
I'm in the middle of building an RG Zeta, and my only gripe is the chest/waist area seem impossible to position correctly. It always looks (to my eye, anyway) like there's too big a gap in spots, or too many gaps. I think it's going to take a lot of fiddling with it to make it look just right.
Good job Rrobbert. I have the MGv2.0 Zeta and I was hoping this RG model would solve some of its problems. I guess some of them got addressed, but perhaps not enough. Looks lovely next to the HGUC, though. Partsformer or not, that kit was a rather dull depiction of the Zeta. Still deciding if I want this kit that badly or not, so I'll wait until all your videos are up before committing.
I love your white panel lining!!!! Do you not have the HGUC Hyaku Shiki and Double Zeta? Because the 4, with the RGs of them would look great in your video.
Excellent review as usual rrobbert184. Do you think anything can be glued down to improve stability? I wonder how much of the articulation would suffer if you made it so it can't transform. Overall though, what an awesome model, easily the best proportions and head sculpt on a Zeta model yet to me.
It isn't even that the joints are loose, the internals are just REALLY frigidity. If one pays close attention to that and are really really careful the skys the limit (no pun intended) to the Zetas pose ability.
The kit is very hard to disassemble, You can't take off the legs and arms without some major disassembly. Actually, when I was building mine, first thought I had was "Oh, boy, rrobbert will not be happy with this! He won't be able to milk out a parts video on this one!" XD
Suryawan Pranata Suryawan The Hyaku Shiki is the non-transformable version of the Delta Gundam, so technically it is one, despite not having it in the name.
Hmm got to say the Zeta Real Grade is a great kit has anyone found a website where I could get it at a fair price I'm looking at hlj or toyarena.com they both seem good.
YO ROBERT184 I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!! R U ABLE TO DO A GUNDAM BEGINNING VIDEO? I THINK THEY HAVE DIFFERENT ONES TOO BUT ONE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IS GUNDAM BEGINNING J KAGUTSUCHI!!!!!! sorry for the caps but just a suggestion from your viewer..
I stopped buying RG because every RG kit a bought had a terrible inner frame. And i'm no noob. I survived the MG Unicorn transformation. And it sucks cause kits like this look amazing!!!
So far I bought all RG kits and I don't have any problem with them except loose jonts. Someone said that RG is terrible because they have no experience and skills what so ever - -
Every? I have 7 and I would classify one of those as being a fragile/grenade kit. Have you built the last 2? Tallgeese and Sazabi are top tier SOLID. So no, not every.
Wow, that kits look really fragile. The hips are horrible and the head/chest section looks like a turtle. The shoulders are really too tiny. Well, I don't like it but that's my opinion so no offense to anyone who likes it.

The backpack brings up a question I've had for a while, what do you all use to panel-line black kits?

The way the RG Zeta is assembled makes it hard to separate it into it's individual parts, so he just skipped to MS
I feel like watching sport channel listen to your review.
What color exactly did you use for the lining on the backpack? White, or just a light gray?
Wait, whoa, since when did TK go straight from unboxing to the MS? Doesnt he usually review the parts, then put it together?
How did you go about lining the wings/backpack/the black, white?
why the hell bandai left out the mega aluncher when they include it i n the HG
I love your white panel lining!!!!
Do you not have the HGUC Hyaku Shiki and Double Zeta? Because the 4, with the RGs of them would look great in your video.

Before he even said a word, my first reaction was "Dammit! It can stand!"
I love my MG Zeta, but his feet really were flawed in their design.
the white lining at the back make it looks like kinda metalic black nice idea rrobbert ;D
great job on the white lining rrobbert..love it
what thing you used? toothpick?
Amazing kit considering that this is first RG that transforms.
@rrobbert184 may i know what kind of white lining marker u use for zeta gundam????
what did he use for the white lining?
i was thinking the same. because you could always buy two one for transformation and the other is the ms
i've been thinking about getting this or the RG Mk2 but if they release a Hyaku Shiki, i might just skip to that
What liner do you use ? For the white lining
Which grades need stickers/lining/sanding?
Is this painted or unpainted? I'm trying to decide if I want to paint mine and would like a good look at an unpainted RG Zeta.
which is taller the hguc zeta or the rg zeta
Looks like it might explode like all the other zeta kits.
Time to wait for RG destiny.
i did not see the parts video, but for some reason, the chest seems hollow
mine hasn't arrive yet :(
i ment did he use white gundam marker , real touch marker, or something else
Could you do the master grade zeta gundam ver.2.0.
@PokePheonix all grades minus first should get your full attention to any detail you can give it!
It isn't even that the joints are loose, the internals are just REALLY frigidity. If one pays close attention to that and are really really careful the skys the limit (no pun intended) to the Zetas pose ability.
7:36 gunpla asmr
That Delta Gundam.. Nice surprise, Rrobbert !
Hope they make a transformable RG V-Dash Gundam
Probably white RealTouch markers (if that exists) or probably a white panel wash.
What's the name of the gold one at 7:01?
Hyaku shiki
Wonder if the RG double Zeta will ever come out o_O
The kit is very hard to disassemble, You can't take off the legs and arms without some major disassembly. Actually, when I was building mine, first thought I had was "Oh, boy, rrobbert will not be happy with this! He won't be able to milk out a parts video on this one!" XD
Mine suffers stress marks at certain inner joints
That Hyaku Shiki, its not RG right?
There's no RG hyaku Shiki gundam yet
J KGF hyaku shiki not gundam :) , btw thats delta gundam :D prototype for zeta gundam
Suryawan Pranata Suryawan oops
grandsentinel4 yup i mean hyaku shiki is not a gundam , you can see it from the top conversation dude... well sorry for my basic mistake
Suryawan Pranata Suryawan The Hyaku Shiki is the non-transformable version of the Delta Gundam, so technically it is one, despite not having it in the name.
Yeah, just got this problem to mine so I didn't bother transforming it after building it.
RROBBERT!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR SHIELD IS UPSIDE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
How the hell is that considered a shield xD
It just is.
Gunpla is freedom!!!! *screams Meijin Kawaguchi
NOT FOR REAL GRADES. *I say back
How could some1 unlike this?

I kinda regret buying this kit a bit now probrably should've bought the regular RX-78
So much delicious panel lining.
i am really looking forward to the transformatio:D
You have NO idea how hard to keep those vents up, especially when you handle the figure
i love your reviews robert, I wonder how you pay for all these gunpla
@0onailueG gundam planet has good prices and shipping.
I can't get the upper body well placed. T_T
RG is slightly taller (by ~1cm)
dalong . net / review / hg / rg10 / p / rg10_135 . jpg
Hope the transformation doesn't require you to disassemble it :P
8 years later, and it is now a general fact that it disassembles itself when you transform it
It is in some places.
excitement embodied
Same size, there both 1/144 scale
nope. but the side skirts and flying armor will likely fall off.
You had the shoulder fucked up and pushed in the entire review. Good job.
that's what i said for the MG age-2.
You got wrong shield :(
The inner frames in my experience have been terrible even if it doesn't transform. The RG RX-78-2 inner frame was terrible and it couldn't transform
6:37 hehe, I got news for you.
So far I bought all RG kits and I don't have any problem with them except loose jonts. Someone said that RG is terrible because they have no experience and skills what so ever - -
He used a white gundam marker
I'm building it now...
Robert, we don't want to know how you freak people out at parties: moving Gundams the wrong way lol.
The silver panel lining looks horrible.
I really dislike transforming suits in kit form, so this is going to be a pass, had enough rage with the MG 2.0 version of the Zeta.
Zeta doesn't have limbs. It's one big thing.
its probably the lack of interest for those vids from the vast majority of his subscribers
The hguc is better
Oh dear god.
Trust me, it's not. It's loose, but not breakable.
I disagree, I think it looks pretty nice.
hmmm
ahhh! forgivable considering it is the first rg!
the kit looks very fragile
My zeta doesn't feal loose
yolo
Delta Gundam
It won't.
hahaha had the same problems on my zeta!
think ill skip this one. not a fan of flimsy
no
OH HOHOHO they do they do.... fall off alot.
nope.
This kit is the worst.....just like RG sinanju.
How frail is every RG kit? Over 9000%.
Every? I have 7 and I would classify one of those as being a fragile/grenade kit. Have you built the last 2? Tallgeese and Sazabi are top tier SOLID. So no, not every.
Wow, that kits look really fragile. The hips are horrible and the head/chest section looks like a turtle. The shoulders are really too tiny.
Well, I don't like it but that's my opinion so no offense to anyone who likes it.
That hip joint is disgusting to me.
Sorry, but I've got to say that that is the ugliest RG i've ever seen next to the RG freedom
It looks boxy.
