    I really like the new format of putting the unboxing and review in one. It always felt a bit archaic to have them separate, as if you thought RUclips videos were still limited at 11 minutes. Hope this format continues!

  • @beefueater4586
    @beefueater4586 3 года назад +20

    I never understood why Hi-nu had to be a heck of a lot smaller than the Nu-gundam. Nu's Height is part of the reason it evokes power.

    • @bluebirdsigma
      @bluebirdsigma 10 месяцев назад +2

      Back when CCA and BC were released, there was only "the 20m Nu Gundam", with the difference that in BC, it was drawn with a little more chonk.
      That chonkier design was retconned later into its own design, the Hi-Nu, and until now, its height is what it was printed in the BC book: 20m.
      Later, they retconned the movie Nu Gundam into being 23m, but never did so for the Hi-Nu.

    when I hear "the beam rifle can be as powerful as warships mega particle cannon" how does it exactly fire said beam? Is it a continuous beam/gerobi like the wing gundams buster rifle or is it a amped up charge shot that expands rapidly?
    Tbh there's a lot questions I have on certain details on mobile suit weapons. Like how does the dober gun from Wing able to fire both beams and ballistic rounds, how strong does a mobile suit have to be in UC to support an e-cap powered rifle, what does it mean when the Nemo is able to use GM II's beam rifle more effectively then the GM II, how does a mobile suit without an e-pac beam rifle charge their built in e-cap beam rifle? The things that keep me up at night when I read the gundam wiki lmao.

    • @leolied6766
      @leolied6766 3 года назад +2

      For the mega particle cannon one, its a charge up shot or a single beam rifle shot I believe. The Hi nu and the Nu gundam's BR can switch between two firing modes. The charged up or single fire shot and the burst fire mode where it can act like a M16A1 in video games.

But the two together DO make for a great display piece!

  • @Smilomaniac
    @Smilomaniac 3 года назад +1

    First of all, thanks for not milking this for two videos. I never watch the unboxings, apart from by mistake.
    I never paint my gunpla - I build gunpla specifically to get AWAY from painting 40k, to have a nice exquisite treat of a model that you can play with, pose and display.
    However, the metal injection plastics are gaudy and awful looking, so for the first time I sanded down the bits, airbrushed them and painted the gold in a more subtle tone (as well as the silver vents, turning them gold) and painted the silver parts in vallejo air 'exhaust manifuld' brown/grey metallic which looks fantastic.
    For me this is Nr. 3 on the RG top list, behind the near flawless Zeong and the actual flawless Force Impulse (though I personally like next to nothing about it, other than the quality and tolerances). I think it's better balanced than the Sazabi and Nu gundam, which puts it ahead.
    The antennas on the wing binders are dumb/ugly.
    This kit has so much part separation, but the blue top of the binders are two shells put together which is pathetic when you consider how large and prominent these parts are. The tolerances are great for snapfitting the kit, very tight.
    Btw, note how the fin funnels aren't symmetrical when they're stored. Drives me up the wall.
    The height discrepancy doesn't bother me at all, it's a redesign. You could complain about the same about the Nu Ver Ka looking so different from the old MG/movie.

  • @srntnjl523
    @srntnjl523 3 года назад +2

    Well, aside from that horrible "gold" plastic (the silver ones are quite forgivable IMO), this for me has become the best RG kit thus far alongside the Nu and the Sazabi. I also love how they remedied the Hi-Nu's upwards head articulation by making its "gundam mullet" articulated.

    Can’t wait for the HWS for this RG Hi-Nu, you’d think by now Bandai would have dedicated pieces for the fin funnels if you wanted them displayed. I’d love to have a clear ring like the AGE-FX to display the funnels on, or something reminiscent of the Quebeley funnel effect parts.

  • @TheDarkestPhoenix
    @TheDarkestPhoenix 3 года назад +1

    Man, yeah, the Hi-Nu is kind of incredible. I ended up painting the gold in a proper gold, the silver in silver, and the blue in a metallic blue paint. And I really love how it came out. I left the lavender, the white, and all of the inner frame as their base plastic, but I thought those parts looked fine as-is. I only painted the blue on a whim, but yeah, it looks really nice with the metallic fleck. Definitely worth at least painting the gold and silver though because the gold is UGLY and the silver needs the work.

    Since you're currently experimenting with your format, I figure I'd give some feedback.
    Putting the unboxind and review together in one video is definitely cool, I like that, makes the whole thing more concise; but I can't say I'm a fan of the changes to the style of scriptwriting. One of the main reasons I watch your reviews over others is because of how to the point they are, no presentation bits to get in the way of that; the jokes, dramatizations and rhethorical questions in this, by contrast, just feel forced and artificially stretched out to me, I found myself skipping through most of the video to get to more relevant parts where I'd watch your other stuff in one continuous go.

    Sigh... I'm still kicking myself because I missed my chance to get this one. I won't make the same mistake with the god gundam and only the mecha god knows how I'm hounding the online stores waiting for the Hi-Nu re-stock.

      I waited 3 months for my battlogue kits, but consider that there are a TON of shipping containers stuck in the ports right now. Everything is gonna take a while right now.

    So we know from the Zeong that legs are just for show. So if the Nu Gundam isn't just for show, then why does it have legs? /s
