I was looking at PBandai and I saw both Phantom and Lfrith Jiu available. I thought “You know who be cool to fight against these two? The Build/Try/Kamiki burning” since the Phantom has effect parts that rival the amount of the Try Burning, and the Lfrith Jiu is quite a mighty Melee fighter that I think would be perfect for them to be put in a fighting position
Great review, that intro had me laughing! I didn't expect the Jiu to be quite as tall as it is, and I like that it uses most of the original Lfrith's frame too. I honestly wasn't sold on the Tiger Hand weapon originally, but seeing it posed up, it actually can look pretty cool. Excited to see the sneaky guest appearance at 2:39 too!
@@coolstorybro1894 There's no official HG Pre-Production Lfrith available or even announced yet, it's a custom build made with a 3D-printed kit I designed.
Kinda a shame it's P-Bandai and side-story, WfM desperately needed a Gundam designed by Ebikawa. Though if he went into more Michaelis direction (and had more freedom, not basing design off Lfrith) it would've been even more cool
Nice review. BTW Bandai is making a major gunpla market expansion in UK. We have official Bandai UK stocking UK stores etc. so You may be getting here for golden age of UK gunpla.
I just recently got this but have yet to build it due to not having time for now. Thank you for making the review. I was kind of expecting a spongebob joke to include the audio where Patrick shouts “And here comes a giant fist”
Sorry, but I genuinely didn't know that such a line existed. I just did Hasta la vista because that's a one-liner Kiyu picked up from a movie and used in battle. Glad you managed to snag it though, seeing how popular G-Witch is
this is first time that main MS from side stories get a P-Bandai released since other main MS side stories like Astray,Astrea,Wing Zero Honoo,Shining Break and astaroth since their kits being regular released
It wasn't originally meant to he P-Bandai but Japan rn is having a plastic shortage and the whole issue with plastic waste makes kits less to be produced hence why since 2021 we've been getting so many P-Bandai. It's a cheap trick for them to pump out less amounts of kits with double the price of regular releases. I'm still gonna get this kit tho lol.
@@mj2005gundam now that you mention it… I feel like this is going in a Hazel Owsla Gigantic Arms path where it’s best we don’t know what monstrosity the tiger hand came from
Beginner here. Can you please do a custom build with this, currently own one this kit and aiming to buy another one so I could custom the one and install the other hand to the other one. Like, adding some scoring marks and panel linings as well as SMD LEDS. Also, I would like to know your opinion on what color scheme that might be good for it since I'm also planning on painting one.
I personally don't have any plans to make a custom build of this, since it's a 1-year-old PB kit that's impossible to get without jacked-up prices. However, I can offer some inspiration. Adding LEDs isn't my forte since I'm in no way an electrician myself. But if you are able to add them onto yours, that'd look cool. The closest thing I did was paint in the lines using a UV marker. As for paint schemes, since this is a Kanatake Ebikawa design, I suppose any of the units he designed would have a fitting paint scheme. Perhaps try on the Core Gundam II+ (Plutine Gundam) paint scheme if you want an edgy look. Alternatively, if you wanna meme with it, Doomfist from Overwatch is a pretty low-hanging fruit.
I can imagine someone buys two Lfrith Jiu and give both the Tiger hands Right and Left. That aside, The Lfrith Jiu with the Tiger Hand reminded me of Gundam Dantalion with the Half Cowl Arms.
It would've been ambidextrous had it been the handle depicted in the manga. However, I think the kit made the handle the way it did for stability's sake
Love the looks but I'm glad I didn't pick this one up. Doesn't really do it for me. The face visor is kind of like the Astraea type F mask which is neat though.
That’s quite an ungodly amount of stickers for a g-witch kit, much less a pbandai exclusive. Edit: ok apologies it isn’t an ungodly amount, I guess I’m just a bit spoiled from all the kits that don’t have too many stickers at all recently.
A P-Bandai exclusive? This is a regular size, have you seen the sheets included with the Pale Rider units? Also, I think it’s reasonable they couldn’t do the In-Molding with the Gund-Arm system here, the clear pieces have weird geometry and shapes.
@@bitetheasp exactly, biggest offenders in my case are the yellow strikes but I can understand why they are stickers, everything else is just shell units and sensors
It's just the Shell Units and sensors, all of which for the body you can ignore if you prefer to fill those in yourself. All things considered, it isn't anything much
I like the uniqueness of taking salvaged parts as weapons to another level, but I can understand how the generic Ebikawa design doesn't do it for someone

I'd be interested to see that fight
Man do I have a video for you the gundam exvs 2 opening is what you want even though it was very short

I got them along with the Ghost Gundam. The ghost actually comes with metallic plastic

Another thing to navigate, but hey, at least availability in general would be improved to some extent
@@mj2005gundam You still will be are able to get anything You want sent to UK it's just the matter of price.
I wish they would eventually reveal the tigr gundam so that they can release It as a kit, just by the arm It looks like a reality cool design
perhaps so, though the arm in this kit isn't gated for separation from the body itself in case you wanna know

Which is a massive shame if I'm honest
I wonder what that large mobile suit was that the tiger hand came from?
I'm interested to know too, but is it a mystery that needs an answer to or is it better to leave it be?

Nice one bro! Good luck on your UK experience!
Thank you. I'm hanging in there in the UK
@@mj2005gundam Glad to hear it, I'm also in the UK
You think they gonna release the new lfrith soon? The lfrith anocta iirc, really love its manga appearance
They're definitely gonna release the Lfrith Anocta. Unfortunately it's gonna be PB
@@mj2005gundam aw man, PB's really hard to get in my area
Where the heck did you get a lfrith pre production model?????????
I second that.
I think he painted the reg Lfrith
There's a resin conversion kit I think.
Mj2005 customizes and paints models. Might be the same color mix from when he painted the lfrith ur
It's a modded build using a 3D printer parts set
Taking Mr. Fisto to the next level.
Yep
I noticed that your Calibarn's shell units have the red color in them. Did you paint over the sticker details with a metallic red marker?
Shhh... I'll tell you in due time

If this guy was not p bandit, I'm probably already buy 2 of them for making jiu with both arms weapons attached 🗿
If this kit were not PB, everyone would be doubling up on the fists
2:40 is that a lfrith mass production type?
How?
With the power of 3D printing and mods
This makes perfect sparring partner to Build Burning + Winning Knuckle 😋
Big fist vs big fist
Hey, its the prostate exam gundam.
Prostate laser exam
Just wonder can this kit use other backpack such as calibarns?
No. I've mentioned that the only back connection the Jiu has is that giant hole for storing the Tiger Hand
I can imagine someone buys two Lfrith Jiu and give both the Tiger hands Right and Left. That aside, The Lfrith Jiu with the Tiger Hand reminded me of Gundam Dantalion with the Half Cowl Arms.
Someone will absolutely deck this thing out with two arms, which wouldn't have been a bad idea since this unit is a nightmare machine
I hope they make HG kits of lfrit anocta MJ are you in UK now?
Back when you commented, no. Now I am
Yeah, it’s a shame the handle for the Tiger arm isn’t a built piece. If it was, we would be able to make it so it can be made for the Left Arm.
It would've been ambidextrous had it been the handle depicted in the manga. However, I think the kit made the handle the way it did for stability's sake
love that intro
Thank you
I guess everyone who made this kit can give themselves a hand! Unfortunately it’s gonna cost an arm and a leg.
Nice puns
I wonder how much effort it would take to fully replace the normal arm with the giant fist
You gotta sand down the ball joint of the adapter to find out
how did you get it so early?
Isn't he in Japan? That should be your answer.
Someone imported it in Hong Kong right before my immigration, so I got it
Nice lfrith mass tho
Thank you. I tried my best to get the paint mixes
Love the looks but I'm glad I didn't pick this one up. Doesn't really do it for me. The face visor is kind of like the Astraea type F mask which is neat though.
Fair enough. The face mask is also kinda Astraea, yeah

Reminded me of gundam dantalion lol😅
Except it's now a quarter cowl
Ah, yes, 18 meter tall 44 tonne prosthetic. What was vanadis smoking?
Nothing, as Vanadis focused on human-sized prosthetics until Ochs Earth acquired them and weaponized the GUND

Both haha
