What I love about G-Witch's designs is that all mech designs have a distinct design aesthetic based on the company that designed them. You have Jeturk that makes their units stocky and highly mobile on land. Peil that has a lanky aesthetic and flight capable MS and then theres Grassley that makes their units have a knight aesthetic and probably the only company that came up with the anti-Gundam "Antidote" system.
I think, when we wanna do explain Grassley distinct, it's more like, "special forces unit MS with unique ability, and Antidote for GUND-Format." Since Dominicus MS were Grassley mass product. Just want to say my thought👍
@@adistyacnugroho7583 yeah its weird that Dominicus' MS are all Grassley. If anything we haven't seen anyone outside of Peil themselves using their models.
@@MechaGaikotsu ohh wait so they arent just static pieces huh?... I'm still waiting for it... still waiting... at best I'll get Pharact next month but ohh well
The ''definitely not an armored core'' gundam that just so happened to be designed by someone that made designs for AC for answer. Love everything about this thing!
And what's more frightening is the fact that the people at Bandai factory now technically have the knowledge to make Armored Core kits. P.S: Specifically it's my wallet that's frightened
God, an Armored Core model kit with Gunpla tech? Please please *PLEASE* let it happen. We deserve better than the Armored Core model kits we currently have.
I love the concept of gundam in this series as it means we get all these unique gundam designs in one show. Basically an mecha artists heaven with all the different artist they got to design the mobile suits
@@androyus Oh lord have mercy! Okuchi worked on valvrave?! ahm... well.. uh..... that doesn't mean this one has to end with an ending as garbage as the one valvrave had, right? < : D ...........................hopefully.
@@alcardespear2446 Disagreed, Pharact has a more menacing aura as compared to Tallgeese, has a more warrior look to its design, still, Tallgeese is a pretty good Gundam
It would be sick if there was a mobile armor that appeared in gundam g-witch season 2; since people noticed how a bunch of g-witch scenes resembled other gundam scenes, it would be almost unreasonable to not include a mobile armor in season 2. Maybe like bigro, big zam, or some crazy weird design
I've owned this kit for a few months now, might as well give my opinion. It does look really great, and the stickers actually elevate the visuals. The problem is that the nubs on this kit are quite open, and the gray plastic makes it quite hard to clean up without it looking bad. The c-clips on the backpack and in the feet have all come loose. The kit has a hard time keeping its feet on the ground. It can still stand but has its toes pointing in the air. The backpack has some heavier chunks that don't stay in position because of the loose c-clips. There is very little panel lining on this kit; mainly just on the yellow chest pieces and the feet. Pretty simple. I think this is a good kit overall, but you will definitely need something to clean up the nubs. It's not good.
It was designed by the same person who design armored cores so thats why it looks so different to a regular gundam. Also you can stick the beam sabers under the feet
I can't help but see a similarity with the Byarlant, which I've always thought was a cool machine. It really feels like they just took the design and function of the Byarlant and just reengineered it into a more traditionally Gundam form.
The Darilbalde has an open hand with it too. Finished building it about 4 days ago and was surprised by its inclusion. Just finished my Pharact about 2 days ago and I loved the build.
Hold on…as awesome as this kit is (planning to get one myself after Aerial~ He’s next alongside Daribalde~), is it me or am i the only one that felt like he missed something throughout reviewing Pharact? ^^; If so, ummm…I’m no expert but i do recall Pharact has those pods that he can basically go bullet hell with it in the WFM anime. Its part of the backpack, just saying
The Pharact is with out a doubt my second favorite favorite sniper suit barely beat by Cherdium Edit: heard your comment on the holes in Pharact’s shoulders, they are actually there in the anime so maybe it’s just part of the design.
its used to mount plates on the shoulder joints this is used by the Zowort line from that standard to make it into a heavy you can also slap "extension" parts into it.... not sure if it will fit the flare launchers from Kotobukiya's Aaliyah for more inside joke who made Pharact's mechanical design
You know at first the body kinda threw me off but it quickly grew on me. I really do like it, seeing how well yours is looking definitely makes me want to buy one
For nubs, I just trim it down within a MM after cutting it off the runner, then use a knife to shave it down flush before using the flat of the blade to lessen stress marks and give it SOME shine. It can be slower depending on the location of the nub and the intensity (?) Of the stress marks that may be left.
From 00 to IBO until WFM, I think what defines a Gundam is the technology shared between units bearing the name Gundam. 00 has the solar reactors, IBO has the dual Ahab Reactors, and WFM has the GUND format. ( 00 though blurred this definition, as many units started using solar reactors in S2.)
Well, people should understand once and for all that the gundam meaning changes in each universe, it's not only about the look of the machine. In the Witch from Mercury universe, every machine with the GUND-format is a Gundam.
I believe for why those bare shoulder frame having those 3mm peg holes is because Bandai might reuse parts of the frame for the Zowort Heavy. Since the Zowort Heavy does have actual shoulder armor whilst the Zowort used by Elan and Earth House doesn't. Cause the arms, waist and even the upper parts of its legs look similar to the Zowort, the Pharact IMO is a Gundam-like Zowort.
"I may be a Birthday Cake now, but i'm the Birthday Cake that handed GueL another L!" El4n's final thoughts, probably. Solid sniper Armored Core-style Gundam that gives hope for Bandai HG Armored Core kits, alongside the Zowort Heavy. Also, Armored Core inspired as this may be, it also resembles the Union Flag, so just a little disappointed that it doesn't transform into some kind of flight form. Maybe flag-style Pharact/Zowort upgrade in the future wouldn't hurt.
God I was so excited for this vid, definitely gonna grab me a pharact soon. One tiny thing tho, I think you forgot the gund-bits in the review, not that they do anything without a stand anyways tho.
I love this Gundam design purely because it reminds me of designs from Tekkaman Blade. I just got mine Pharact in, so I'll think I'll paint my inspired by Tekkaman.
Have you ever considered doing a HG Kämpfer Amazing ? It seems like it would be right up your alley since it has the whole dual pistols thing going on and dual wielding in general. Plus I've never actually seen anyone do a review of the Kämpfer Amazing.. for some reason
Tip for cutting nubs off parts, if you're too lazy to sand like me: cut the parts along the mould line. I've always found this puts less stress on the part. Not sure why, but there's probably some sciency explenation for it.
AWESOME Gundam. ! I got the Metal Build Strike Gundam with the Aile Striker Pack & The Mobile Suit Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny HD Blue-Ray Collection for Christmas. !!!
By far one of the coolest and most unique ms designs I've ever seen. Edit: the design overall is very robotic and it's lanky proportions, dark colours coupled with that skull looking face gives me a death vibe.
that scar in the corner of the nail in your thumb from the left hand, I BET THAT WAS A X-ACTO KNIFE ACCIDENT that probably happened cleaning some gunpla part lol
this is the first time since I sub to mecha G back in 2020 where I build and finished a gundam before he even releasing a video ( I must watch his video review first before buying a kit)

@@adistyacnugroho7583 yeah its weird that Dominicus' MS are all Grassley. If anything we haven't seen anyone outside of Peil themselves using their models.
@Gman Well the designer for this MS was actually a designer for Armored Core and it really shows especially when building the individual parts.
I think you forgot to cover one of Pharact’s main features: the GUND bits stored in the binders.
I thought he said his stuff is in storage? I assume that means his Gundam stands too.
@@noneyobusiness3629 you don’t need a stand to just take them out of the binders and show them to the camera.
Yup! Made the mistake of popping them into the backpack before the review and totally forgot that they come back out again!

@@nerobiblios4086 I haven't really watched Code Geass (although I know that Lelouch died at the end) but did they go away from the school setting?
Pharact's design is menacing yet elegant at the same time!
Rubbish, Tallgeese II can do better than Gundam Phatetic
@@alcardespear2446 Disagreed, Pharact has a more menacing aura as compared to Tallgeese, has a more warrior look to its design, still, Tallgeese is a pretty good Gundam
Really love the design of the Pharact, reminds me a lot of the Byalant.
But like in a modern take
Bruh that’s the same thing I thought
4:45 I like the way Aerial just standing there menacingly waiting for you to completely finished from building Pharact
Aerial want to revenge from attacking one of her gund bit
I really like the quick history behind the mobile suit before the review.
Finally!! When we need him the most he comes back!!
Pharact is probably my most anticipated G-Witch gunpla i ever built
I'm totally love this kit and love posing with my other G-Witch gunpla!

AI mobile armor thats mission is to hunt and kill witches..like MA in IBO

Witch from mercury was incredible! So glad I jumped into Gundam at such an amazing time!
Gundam has been really good in a time where anime has been pretty boring
I really can't unsee the Pharact being a Byarlant variant of some sort.
Yes finally someone noticed!
The Ariel with the pharact colors and back pack would be terrifying
This design reminds me of transformers prime starscream, the wings, the colors and especially the lankiness do it for me.
It was designed by the same person who design armored cores so thats why it looks so different to a regular gundam. Also you can stick the beam sabers under the feet

I think you forgot the bits inside the big thruster section of the backpack
Yo! When will 2022 best gunpla video come?
"next up is the cylinder. Where does it go? That's right! In the square hole"

I watched the show and it made me want to get more of the kits so much, the ending left me on a crazy cliffhanger and i was genuilny mad

My personal number one design from the Witch. Love it! ❤Hope this one will be available in 1/100 soon.
I really hope this kit gets a Full Mechanics release. I absolutely love this design but I dont like small kits (1/144) so much.
This reminds me of the Gaplant Hrairoo in some ways.
Id love to hear your thoughts on the Aerial Rebuild Mecha, personally I prefer the 1st one but it’s growing on me
Given the aesthetic resemblance to Armored Core mecha, I kinda wish that the mobile suit was called the “Corvus” or the “Corax.”
I would love to see somebody a custom of this or any WFM design and an IBO suit. I feel as though they would work very well together.
The Pharact really reminds me of Lelouch's Shinkiro from code geass

all the hype is from armored core and i respect it
it's just a really, really nice mecha design gundam philosophies aside
It even has its own AMS system, talk about immersion..
pharact really looks like barbatos with the head design, the general chest design, the clear part looks that really looks alot like the on/off symbol
I absolutely ADORE this guy! Will definitely pick up
I don't know why, but the Pharact reminds me a lot of Armored Core NEXTs. Maybe it's the proportions of the limbs or the weapons?
because its the mechanical designer...
It is, especially the torso.
I absolutely love the Eclipse style legs! This type of leg is so good for amazing looking poses
This reminds me of an overhaul to the Overflag with those lengthy slender limbs. This kit just looks ghoulish, I'll pick it up and see for myself.
And so the happy birthday curse continues
"I may be a Birthday Cake now, but i'm the Birthday Cake that handed GueL another L!"
El4n's final thoughts, probably.
Solid sniper Armored Core-style Gundam that gives hope for Bandai HG Armored Core kits, alongside the Zowort Heavy.
Also, Armored Core inspired as this may be, it also resembles the Union Flag, so just a little disappointed that it doesn't transform into some kind of flight form. Maybe flag-style Pharact/Zowort upgrade in the future wouldn't hurt.
The Pharact is just an Armored Core in a Gundam universe :3
Others come here to see which gundam mecha review on

The key to dark plastic is to get your God Hands as flat as you can and cut as slow as possible.
I actually thought this was a Super Robot Taisen kit at first. Like the Gespenst
Hope you will review the aerial rebuild with tomato sauce
Man, I never thought I would like Pharact after watching this video! I am sold! I will get one!
2:17 Darilbalde: Am I a joke to you
Oh yeah dont forget about Aerial 2.0 HG kit coming in March. THATS gonna be fun
Between this and Aerial, I might get this first. I think the design is pretty sweet
First thought: That looks like a Tellus AC.
Second thought: The legs looks very Ahead-ish.
It is shown like an animation scene, so the information about Kit is more touching. Thank you ^^*
The Darilblade kit had a left open hand I think, hope you like your new home and welcome back.
Well, better get ready for Mecha vs Backlogs 2023.
I smile every time you give a kit I like Platinum since the name was my suggestion. Damn right Pharact is Platinum tier!
From uploading everyday for a week then dissappear for a month. Yet he come back like nothing happen. Haha. Nice!!

Can't wait
Pharact slender design make it look more like a Knightmare frame more than Gundam. Really cool design
This is tasty Baked Corn Gundam.
and here I am thinking that what makes a gundam, a gundam is the antenna in the heads
when you say about "what makes a Gundam?" me thinking about how the G-Lucifer is called a Gundam

Burnt myself on the grill 😅
Pharact design inspired by barbato lupus rex my favorite form ibo
Congrats on the successful move!
Reminds me of the Shinkiro from Code Geass, or more vaguely something from Dunbine. Very cool kit.
Welcome back to Reviewing Dude! Miss your builds!
And yeah, what a badass Gundam! It gives me EVA-UNITS VIVES! Very, Skinny….
Upgrade version of Pharact should be Kataphract.
This mech also reminds me of the robot from LBX the wolf one it also has a sniper
The Pharact is soo cool, def my top ten designs for me
LOVE THE HEAD PARTS, the design wise it's more slender almost humanoid mecha which might a hit or miss for some people
And just like that after the backpack on Aerial, I have ideas.
