Honestly i think the proportions are as you said stylistic but it makes it look athletic and more like a light weight close combat suit. The thighs seem more closely proportionate to actual human thigh length. Lookn at my own hg, rg and mg kits the thighs always seemed to short. I think its proportions and design is perfect. Thanks for the review very good and informative as always 👍
"Superior Steve", that just killed me. Solid review. The style is kind of weird but I love what they did with the engineering. I was gonna say you should get a MegaSize AGE-1 so Steve would have a friend, but it must be hard to find. Maybe a MegaSize Zaku?
I actually love this athletic looking take on grand daddy. RX-78-2 hit the squat rack hard and got some new wheels. It makes it look powerful and athletically nimble pulling off more organic articulations. It looks fun as hell to pose too.
This looks like the GBN Base Gundam revamped and in the right fucking colors. Me likey the waist proportions tbh. I'm definitely gonna get this one if I can. This is everything I wanted changed in the RX-78-2 design.
This kit is pretty much like a combination of two kits, the classic look of the revive version but with the articulation of the G40. Even the price of this kit is in between the revive and G40. 😅
I thought it was weird, but it is more in line with human proportions. Standing square and flat it looks odd, but in poses it looks phenomenal, reminds me of pre-revoltech Kaiyodo action figures
What if we kit bash all Rx78 into 1 kit Head - Base Gundam Chest and Back - Origins Torso - Revive Hips and Crotch - Beyond Global Shoulder - Origins Arms - Beyond Global Hand - Base Gundam Thigh - Revive Knee and legs - Beyond Global Feet - Base Gundam Shield - Origins Rifle - Beyond Global Bazooka - Origins Hammer - 30th I didnt include the G40 since its too expensive and complicated to kit bash
As someone who doesn't really like the rx-78 the beyond global version is the most appealing looking one to me and since the one rx-78 I've built I can't find this would be a good replacement
lovin the poses... and the poses! so freakin amazing... superb review krow.. love it and lovin the new style of your review :) i imagine lightning ace posing like yours. the hg coming to rg territory hehehe.... keep it up krow :)
i love the music background while your showing that runners it fits with video... great job!... i'm planning to get this Beyond Global RX it looks awesome....
The design actually looks great. Kinda wish Bandai went full Banpresto with it. The only weird proportions in this kit are the thick and somewhat short arms and those huge feet.
consider the hg origin version almost as detailed as rg (minus the 2 tone colors) and as posable as the revive with a lot extra so you can build either the early type or the classic version.
I like the new design but i already have an HG RX78 so i might pass on this (or use this as the Kit for my Gundam girl once i get around to building that)
One pseudo-granddaddy that's also good and worth buying is the HG 0 Gundam ACD. Kind of an older kit compared to the GBN Base Gundam, but it is a good one articulation and design-wise.
This is a flame toys style build of a RX78 of any of y’all have ever built the IDW Optimus prime. The waist proportions and articulation, the way the wrist plugs in and stylization all lines up with a flame toys hyper anime look. I think Ima buy that
I know I'm a bit late on this, but what's the name of the song during the unboxing segment? Gonna listen to it while building that kit once it arrives at my home.
11:27 , this is what i like the most, try bring any other gundam in any gundam universe, None of them (except Hi-Res Astray) can pull this off . try to sit in Seiza , then you notice your butt will land on your ankle, not your shin like most gundam design .
I was so torn between this, the origin and the G40 (Bandai, why did you have to make it so hard for me! T_T) Opted for the origin because it was released earlier but now...I think I want this too. Except for the price point too, though. It is a bit steep for an HG.
It's weird how resistant people are to different designs for the RX-78, it's like people just want the base RX-78 with ever changing surface detail or something which is just boring, this is a real cool new take and still everyones like "Ew, its so weird"
Torso looks a bit feminine I still like it but if the shoulders and forearms were smaller I would paint it bright pink to fully illustrate how girly it would look.
Too much grandaddy or maybe they do that on purpose as a testing HG for future gunpla like G,wing and After colony gunplas (Edit) granddaddy torso looks hot
I guess the looks are, passable...Tolerable...Except for one part. That skinny frickin waist. What the hell? RX-78 doesnt have that. This aint no IBO I mean, sure, the animation errors on the earliest Gundam saga kinda gives some imagination and leeways in terms of design for the toys and models, but that one part is just ass. Take a look (4:18). See the proportions for yourself My take, i guess. P.S: 11:40 Dammit Krow. Thats just unnecessary now :l
"RX-78 doesn't have that" It's meant to be a redesign. We already have *tons* of more-traditional HGUC Grandpa out there. Take your pick. It's good that Global is different.
@@androyus I guess, and if that's what you're after, then enjoy. But personally I don't see the point. Why make it The Gundam if they're not going to make it look like The Gundam? Or why would I, as someone specifically interested in the original Gundam, want something that claims to be it, without actually looking like it? Or if I didn't care and just wanted a cool-looking robot, why would I be interested in this over, say, a 30 minute missions kit or an IBO kit? If they want to make a new design, they can just make it a new design. Which is basically what they did, it's just masquerading as the original Gundam because the original Gundam is popular.
@@TheKrowSama are the hips peg connections on your kit too tight like the type of tightnest that would break because i didnt hadded much luck with my hg justice knight my copy was just bad

Thanks for the review very good and informative as always 👍
I'm pretty sure they specifically designed it this way after seeing all the sexy pose photos of the G40.
It wasn't until I saw the runners that it hit me: The Beyond Global feels like what a hypothetical RG 2.0 RX-78 would be like
I agree. It (also the Zephyranthes) badly needs a 2.0, especially now that the RG line has improved significantly for the better.
@@srntnjl523 Yeah i avoided the RG Grandpa because of issues with it. Praying for a RG 2.0 haha. I bought the G40 and mulling over this BG version.
Strike Freedom RG version 2.0 is what I wish for
i have return to imform you of the existence of rg 2.0 rx 78 now exist are you happy?
What I love about this kit is that it feels like CE era version the the RX 78
I love it actually. The proportions and style remind me a little of Samurai Jack or something.
"Superior Steve", that just killed me.
Solid review. The style is kind of weird but I love what they did with the engineering.
I was gonna say you should get a MegaSize AGE-1 so Steve would have a friend, but it must be hard to find. Maybe a MegaSize Zaku?

“ We nees to do *all* of the poses in both G40 and Beyond Global RX-78-2 ” -Me, 2020

I loved your review of this kit.. you've hit all possible aspects and even executed the requests and suggestions..
Confirmed; Krow has a sickness 4 the THICC-ness.
Jesus they're gonna keep lewding Granddaddy with every new edition aren't they
YarugumaSou and I’m not complaining
Grandmommy RX-69
What if we kit bash all Rx78 into 1 kit
Head - Base Gundam
Chest and Back - Origins
Torso - Revive
Hips and Crotch - Beyond Global
Shoulder - Origins
Arms - Beyond Global
Hand - Base Gundam
Thigh - Revive
Knee and legs - Beyond Global
Feet - Base Gundam

I just built that gundam and it so simple to build and the end result is, you have a lot of fun playing around with it.
lovin the poses... and the poses! so freakin amazing... superb review krow.. love it and lovin the new style of your review :) i imagine lightning ace posing like yours. the hg coming to rg territory hehehe.... keep it up krow :)
those are poses I myself would do if I have this kit. a'ight. subscribed.
Yea I started realizing they're reusing old design to be implemented to the new kits, like RG sazabi which is based on the hcm pro and not the ver ka
I already have the revive but deym this is tempting... Awesome review as always, amongst Gunpla reviewers I watch/follow, you're the best imo...
i love the music background while your showing that runners it fits with video... great job!... i'm planning to get this Beyond Global RX it looks awesome....
I’ve been passing up the rx78 for years but this might be the one to break me. That articulation is phenomenal
This is the Version of the
Rx 78-2 that cathed my eyes.
The design actually looks great. Kinda wish Bandai went full Banpresto with it. The only weird proportions in this kit are the thick and somewhat short arms and those huge feet.
I have been mulling over Beyond vs Rg and this video was super useful thank you!
Personal opinion, go RG. So much more value for your dollar.
consider the hg origin version almost as detailed as rg (minus the 2 tone colors) and as posable as the revive with a lot extra so you can build either the early type or the classic version.
Thank you for bringing up the javelin and hammer. Most people forget those Super Robot weapons
Anyone notice the beam rifle scope's yellow bit can be popped out with ease? You don't need to drill a hold to get it back out for painting!
Noticed that too lol
I like the new design but i already have an HG RX78 so i might pass on this (or use this as the Kit for my Gundam girl once i get around to building that)
Finally, a gundam with thighs
The slim torso (which is also a bit off IMO) aside, I like the overall design of this granddaddy. Can't wait to have this one
One pseudo-granddaddy that's also good and worth buying is the HG 0 Gundam ACD. Kind of an older kit compared to the GBN Base Gundam, but it is a good one articulation and design-wise.
I really love the proportions on this
BTW, have you seen the pics of the RG Nu HWS set?
Can't wait for mine to arrive. Gonna paint it the RX-78-1 colour scheme!
This is a flame toys style build of a RX78 of any of y’all have ever built the IDW Optimus prime. The waist proportions and articulation, the way the wrist plugs in and stylization all lines up with a flame toys hyper anime look. I think Ima buy that
It looks like the rx 78 from Ready Player One..
I don't really like the proportion. It looks like gundam after wearing women's slim suits, smaller waist and bigger chest.
"It deviates slightly from the original so I don't like it"
So you don’t like how women look when they wear slim suits.
@Kanye west Big toes fucking Exia
Love the BG music!
I know I'm a bit late on this, but what's the name of the song during the unboxing segment? Gonna listen to it while building that kit once it arrives at my home.
I think if I had one criticism of your videos, it'd be to vary your music a bit
Other than that, I dig the way you've been doing reviews lately
11:27 , this is what i like the most, try bring any other gundam in any gundam universe, None of them (except Hi-Res Astray) can pull this off .
try to sit in Seiza , then you notice your butt will land on your ankle, not your shin like most gundam design .
The thumbnail killed me😂
If they were going to release so many Rx-78-2's in a single year, it should have been the 50th anniversary. It's a much less random milestone.
Definitely might consider getting this once it hits a sale
주문 했는데 내일쯤오는데 보면서대리만족합니다
Loving the design of this one!
Yes it can kneel like a boss
I just bought the kit today I'm so scared to build this version of The Rx 78
Nice looking for another grandpa gundam. Good news PG unicorn has been orderd and trav snuck in the uraven kit and the marsfour weapon pack. Lol
I was so torn between this, the origin and the G40 (Bandai, why did you have to make it so hard for me! T_T) Opted for the origin because it was released earlier but now...I think I want this too. Except for the price point too, though. It is a bit steep for an HG.
Thats the best looking RX-78-2
😍 RX 78-2 i love it.
i wish this one have the G40 torso joint, becos i fking love this one proportion and other area articulation except the torso (ab crunch)
i like the anime proportions of the beyond global
my opinion...
Looks like if RX78 in seed style. Not a bad thing.
Awesomeness!!
Can't wait to Gundam Pill people with the Entry Grade.
I hope they dont just stop on grandpa's kit..would love to see other kits..a zaku for next would be appropriate 😁
I hope they do a master grade zaku 3.0 next to go with the mg Rx 78 3.0
@@Matt-jn6qv yess!
The Gundam feels like a alternative century first Gundam homage or something like the ones in 00 and AGE or even Build.
It's weird how resistant people are to different designs for the RX-78, it's like people just want the base RX-78 with ever changing surface detail or something which is just boring, this is a real cool new take and still everyones like "Ew, its so weird"
now Steve will try destroy it to regain his superiority
The proportions are like the rg nu
I can see that now that you've mentioned it lol. I really like the proportions. Very 00-esque.
for a second I misread it as proportions like gru and the mental image has scarred me
No Steve comparison?
He left the room
TheKrowSama that's unfortunate 😂
windam or beyond global ?
When i first glanced at a picture of this i mistook it for a mg
Might just be me, but I can't seem to find this thing on newtype's website
It will take a bit for them to recive the shipment
Beyond Global
Bishoujo Gundam
Beyond Gorgeous hehe
what does beyond global mean, is that a company
Just a catchy title
I cant enjoy a UC gundam without the origin or rg nu ab crunch.
How many versions of RX 78 -2 Gundam we gonna produce & release every year?
Bandai: YES!!!!!!!!
It's the 40th anniversary, they're gonna go crazy with the kits, it's a celebration!
I want a master gradenof this.
Am I the only one excited for the Entry Grade RX-78?
The beyond global legs remind me of megaman zero style
if this will be the future of high grade at the normal high grade price point then no more Mg's for me
Torso looks a bit feminine I still like it but if the shoulders and forearms were smaller I would paint it bright pink to fully illustrate how girly it would look.
Looks like Bandai is trying to get the look of the Furai IDW kits. The best one is the Origins kit. This stylised stuff is highly annoying.
i only clicked cuz the poses in the thumbnail
RX 78 from parallel world
Too much grandaddy or maybe they do that on purpose as a testing HG for future gunpla like G,wing and After colony gunplas
(Edit) granddaddy torso looks hot
This screams Katoki in the legs.
It’s kinda cute
I think bandai should make new Gundam unicorn
Hm yes they really haven't done much with Unicorn they really should do some kits of that thing
Nooooooooooooooooo
The legs... for days... the hollow toes though.
Narrow waist, wide hips and thiccccc thighs.
"wtf krow" hahaha
Drinking game lets go, every time he says "Beyond global" take a shot- NO DON'T DO IT! but if your depressed sure...
Very female legs this time for the RX-78
I'm uncomfortable
I don't trust how long his thighs are.
...also I think your facecam's a bit out of focus. It's kinda blurry, whoops. :P
Yeah, that was my fault lol
I guess the looks are, passable...Tolerable...Except for one part.
That skinny frickin waist. What the hell? RX-78 doesnt have that. This aint no IBO
I mean, sure, the animation errors on the earliest Gundam saga kinda gives some imagination and leeways in terms of design for the toys and models, but that one part is just ass.
Take a look (4:18). See the proportions for yourself
