I decided to buy this kit based entirely off this review, it was also my first kit ever, and i loved it! I can confirm everything said here is very accurate.
Among all the great gunpla reviewers out there you might just be my favorite. Im really glad you've been giving old school kits a lot of spotlight since I originally wrote off getting the G Gundam kits because of their age. Now I want to get all the G Gundam MGs (except maybe the God Gundam cuz of those wonky proportions). Please someone sponsor this dude!
I discovered your channel maybe a week ago and instantly subscribed. Even though your channel is smaller than other Gunpla reviewers for now, I really love your channel and videos. The videos have structure but they’re not overly lengthy. They’re straight forward but not rushed. I’m really rooting for you and I look forward to all your videos
Definitely agree with you. G Gundam MGs are in the class of their own, especially during the time they were released. I alsohave the MG God Gundam and can still go toe-to-toe with modern MGs foor articulation & solidness.
Lets be honest here, they are probably the kits that people would change poses more often than the new and more articulated kits. Solid build, articulate enough to hold a ton of poses and most specially, they don't have that much accessories which would usually limit what you could do with a kit. Heck, I've changed mine in a lot more poses in just 5 days compared to my dynamese.
Wow, this is a great review and I really enjoyed it. I like how clear your are with communicating things to the viewer, as well as how thorough you are with the kit. Measuring the the range in a limb with degrees is also really helpful. I also am really glad you like Shining Gundam so much. It's my favorite Gundam and I love it quite a bit. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos!
I just love this channel! I love that most of his Gunpla reviews are Master Grades because Master Grade is my favourite line of Gunpla! Please keep posting these kind of vids
My 1st kit is the build grade shining gundam as well. I remember when i bought it together with my mom when i was a kid. Good times bro, good times! Thank you for this review, i remember the best moments of my childhood.
Glad you're posting again and a hundred percent agree. The mobile e-fighter series of master grade gundams are hands-down some of the best that hold up over time and still look remarkably well. They give almost a anime s quality fresh out of the box with its non-traditional proportions
Welcome back, your reviews are always my favorite. Your fair to the models and you make them look really good. You’re the biggest reason I got the MG F91 2.0.
G Gundam is the Goat of Gundam and I really really really wish they would make a whole new line of MG Gundam for all the shuffle aliance, The spiegal gundam and all the villains
I'd love to see you do unique suits/mobile armors in MG! Like the Ball, or something strange like that, something that would totally throw your grading system out of wack haha
I've watched your videos for a good while now and absolutely love your review style. I much prefer your style over other Gunpla reviewers (ZakuAurelius being my other favorite). It sucks to hear this might be the last review you do, but I'll definitely check out anything else you do. Best of luck to you, man!
Thanks! I'm still not sure this will be the definite last video, there's always the possibility for more. I just want to be up front about things so if this is the last one, you guys aren't left wondering what happened haha
Understandable! At least you let us know instead of just disappearing like rrobert184. Though I do believe he does reviews for some Gunpla website now.
@RedHeadphones6 Great video! the shining gundam is my favorite mobile fighter. I would love to see you do a mg gouf 2.0 review I find it to be a very good kit all around. It goes with all the other kits you tend to review as it is a 2.0 and has that great zaku like innerframe.
I really enjoy watching these! They're nicely edited, plus the little tips you give regarding detailing and any other quirks are always really interesting. Keep going, excited to see what else you've got!
Happy to see a review of this it was well worth the wait. if this is going to be your last review I just want to say that I’ve enjoyed all of your reviews thoroughly I always find myself going back to them
I’d prefer a 2.0. MGex would mean LED strips in the arms, which would probably hamper mobility. As a mobile fighter, it having less mobility would mean a step down from the older mg. Plus, Bandai would probably put a high price on it.
They did make a high resalution god gundam witch it desperately deserved. I do hope they do it for the shining gundam. But ya i dotn think they well sadly. But bandai has no problem pushing out 50 version of unicorn gundam... ugh
Thanks for this vid. I was thinking of getting it because the price was pretty low but judging from your video it needs a bit of work and could probably benefit from a newer MG version of it.
The nubs on the shoulders is a nightmare but Bandai saved me by giving extra rubber vfin. At least I finally built it after 5 yrs. Gonna sand the nubs soon
Have this kit. During build, I accidentally broke the left knee joint due to tightness of the screws. Ended up with limited posing coz the left knee can no longer be bended. Anyway, nice review of an old kit.
Love G-Gundam. This shining gundam kit is my favorite too, it was my second MG build. Yea theres a fair amount of painting to do to get it color accurate, i painted the yellow parts gold as well coloring the thrusters and vulcans for anime accuracy. For anyone who decides to build the kit though watch out for the red shoulder parts, the pieces are kinda flimsy, i snapped the left one but its being held in by tension luckily, you cant see the crack from the front.
Hey i've been watching you for a couple years now, and I was wondering if you can review Gundam Spiegel. I would love to see that reviewed because not very many people reviewed it and they are like 10 years old, and I think you might even like that I think its cool and am contemplating whether or not I should buy it.
in all honesty I tend to be more lenient on older kits cus i kinda grew up when you had to put in a little extra effort for kits. my biggest one was thr SR-71 Blackbird and then 2 Black Hawks so when i tried gundam it was like a canvas to do more details and ways to improve my skills and see where i improved or developed. I love the older Gundam kits.
just wondering is their any chance you might do a review of the spiegel gundam soon since that's the only model kit from the G line you haven't reviewed yet.
Thanks for asking. I used an old can of Krylon spray paint. The color is "Gold Leaf." I really like it because it's a bit duller than other golds, so I think the details are a bit more noticeable.
This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you. Take this, my love, my anger and all of my sorrow. Shining fingerrrr!!!
Agreed, they aren't a huge issue for me. They can really add stability to inner frames, which makes this kit one of the sturdiest Master Grades. I just make a point to mention them, as screws can sometimes be hit or miss (like that shot of the ankle in this video) and to make sure beginners know in advance they'll need a screw driver.
Thank you! There's always a chance I'll make another in the future, we'll see. I just wanted to be honest, so you guys aren't left high and dry if this was the last one, you know?
Finished building this a few weeks ago. The Shining Gundam's probably my favorite Gundam design, and I'm glad I finally got the chance to build it. I'm really glad to hear that mine isn't the only one with overly tight elbows, though I'm not tempting fate by posing it anymore for right now. I also chose to keep the v-fin yellow, though I may try a slightly oranger yellow like what the Hi-Res God Gundam uses down the line. And I need to get some white paint/Gundam Marker to fix the vents on the core lander. While I'm sure a 2.0 would look great, I'm glad I built what we got, because the extra work I put into making those parts gold greatly improved the kit's look. And while I'm far from the only one who painted those parts, it did go a long way in making the kit my own.
Lol mine was great aswell. I do question why Bandai made that black and white piece on the core lander yellow. But one of my legs made me want to die i was at on screw for like 30 mins trying to get it in straight and one of the shoulders didn't want to go in all the way so I stole my god gundams screw and that worked fine but now my god gundam has a slightly wonky shoulder
I realize this is a 3 year old video, but I'm hoping to build this kit based on your recommendation. What did you use for the gold paint? Gundam markers?
No worries. I used Gundam Markers for the gray and black detailing. For the gold, I used Krylon Gold Leaf. It's not exactly recommended for Gundpla, but I like the look of it. Just has a bit more of a sparkle to it. Best of luck on the build!
@@redheadphones6 Actually one more question, any priming for the Krylon? Looks like results are mixed on using enamel paint with PS plastic. Thanks again!
personally i like the burning gundam version better as far as the 2 kits go. also wish we would have gotten a set of rubber hands with both the shinning and burning that allowed them to hold hands for that epic burning and shinning god finger pose from the show
I start to take interest to this kit and the other old kits like MG Ground, God, and the GP's. But my mind just keep telling me "Be patience and wait for their 2.0". What should I do? 😭
haha, it depends on the kit for sure. Personally, the Shining and Ground Gundam hold up extremely well imo, and are worth picking up now. The God Gundam is also cheap enough that it's worth looking into, even if it doesn't hold up as well. The GP series though, unless you're down for some serious fixing-up, I'd probably hold off on those. Regardless, best of luck! :)
I used a Krylon metallic spray paint called "Gold Leaf." I haven't used Krylon paint for anything else, as I only received that color as a gift from a friend, but it did a great job of making a gold that both popped, but didn't distract from the rest of the suit.
Thank you! The first Shining Gundam review was taken down 2-3 years ago. It was just a really poor review, even considering it was my 3rd or 4th video. Thankfully, it was only up for about a year and only got ~3,000 views in total before I took it down. I'm much happier with this brand new review! Thanks for asking!
@@redheadphones6 so thats why i dont see that video often also 1 year ago i download your old gunpla video before the copyright strike but since then i lost all of the video that i download to watch offline that include your video about review turn a gundam and shining gundam
Every time I seem Bandai posting for a hobby show I am always disappointed because they never announce an MG 2.0 or an RG Shining. G Gundam never seems to get much love from Bandai 😔
Unfortunately no. This doesn't even have an action base connector, so aside from having to buy a stand, you're limited to using those included fork things to get this guy held in.
Everybody love the god gundam. But the shinning gundam what started it all. I prefer the shining over the god gundam cuz the battle theme for the shining gundam was way more inclined to the show than the battle theme of the god gundam.
I really like Shining Gundam more than God Gundam. One of the reason is because it didn't have unnecessary 'backpack', especially for Gundam that use martial arts
Yeah, it is a little weird in hindsight to give a martial arts fighter a big backpack lol. I guess it was just a style of the time, considering the crazy wings and satellite cannon found in the following series.
After almost 20 years, my personal mysterious of the "sometimes there, sometimes missing 'G. Gundam' sign" on the MG Shining Gundam is finally solved. So as it turns out, it's actually a nice transparent sticker! Speaking of which, you were pretty clumsy with the marking stickers with this kit, huh? In the close-up shot of the shoulders, the stickers look like they've been flayed by a high pressure water hose!
Haha, yeah, they're just older stickers. They peel up a bit easier and collect dust around the rim over time. I might go back and trim them up at some point.
Thanks for watching!

Someone get this man a NewtypeHQ Sponsorship
I decided to buy this kit based entirely off this review, it was also my first kit ever, and i loved it!
I can confirm everything said here is very accurate.
Yes! Welcome back man! Very hyped to see you putting out some more reviews.
Among all the great gunpla reviewers out there you might just be my favorite. Im really glad you've been giving old school kits a lot of spotlight since I originally wrote off getting the G Gundam kits because of their age. Now I want to get all the G Gundam MGs (except maybe the God Gundam cuz of those wonky proportions). Please someone sponsor this dude!
I discovered your channel maybe a week ago and instantly subscribed. Even though your channel is smaller than other Gunpla reviewers for now, I really love your channel and videos. The videos have structure but they’re not overly lengthy. They’re straight forward but not rushed. I’m really rooting for you and I look forward to all your videos
Thanks, man. It really means a lot.
Definitely agree with you. G Gundam MGs are in the class of their own, especially during the time they were released. I alsohave the MG God Gundam and can still go toe-to-toe with modern MGs foor articulation & solidness.
Lets be honest here, they are probably the kits that people would change poses more often than the new and more articulated kits. Solid build, articulate enough to hold a ton of poses and most specially, they don't have that much accessories which would usually limit what you could do with a kit. Heck, I've changed mine in a lot more poses in just 5 days compared to my dynamese.
My first Gunpla was also the no grade Shining Gundam back in '94. It remains one of my favorite all-time suits.
that was also my first gunpla too!
Wow, this is a great review and I really enjoyed it. I like how clear your are with communicating things to the viewer, as well as how thorough you are with the kit. Measuring the the range in a limb with degrees is also really helpful. I also am really glad you like Shining Gundam so much. It's my favorite Gundam and I love it quite a bit. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos!
You're probably the most underrated Gunpla reviewer, the amount of depth and quality in these reviews are really something else
Thank you!
Those Gold parts really shine!
I just love this channel! I love that most of his Gunpla reviews are Master Grades because Master Grade is my favourite line of Gunpla! Please keep posting these kind of vids
Thank you!
Easily my favorite gunpla reviewer ever
Yes! i might not be that fan of mgs but you're reviews are really calming and very informative, so keep up the amazing work
Thanks!!
I truly enjoy your content. I love the format of the review and how detail specific they are. Thank you, keep up the amazing work
Thanks!
The best part of his videos is the intro theme. Lol
My 1st kit is the build grade shining gundam as well.
I remember when i bought it together with my mom when i was a kid. Good times bro, good times! Thank you for this review, i remember the best moments of my childhood.
Glad you're posting again and a hundred percent agree. The mobile e-fighter series of master grade gundams are hands-down some of the best that hold up over time and still look remarkably well. They give almost a anime s quality fresh out of the box with its non-traditional proportions
Thank you for actually painting your kits, not nearly enough builders on here do
My favorite gunpla reviewer! Glad to have you back
Welcome back, your reviews are always my favorite. Your fair to the models and you make them look really good. You’re the biggest reason I got the MG F91 2.0.
Thanks! Glad I could help!
hey man! im pretty new to gunpla, your videos have Really helped me!! they're always a treat and insightful. keep up the great work!
G Gundam is the Goat of Gundam and I really really really wish they would make a whole new line of MG Gundam for all the shuffle aliance, The spiegal gundam and all the villains
new camera is looking good man! might have to get me a shining gundam now lol

Thank you!
Imagine this get a mg ex treatment, led to hands and shoulders
The glorious mental image of it I have and the slim chances of it ever being real might just make me cry dude
I’d prefer a 2.0. MGex would mean LED strips in the arms, which would probably hamper mobility. As a mobile fighter, it having less mobility would mean a step down from the older mg. Plus, Bandai would probably put a high price on it.
I wish we'd get a 2.0 for this and if I can make a wish that would probably never come true in my lifetime a pg of this guy.
They did make a high resalution god gundam witch it desperately deserved. I do hope they do it for the shining gundam. But ya i dotn think they well sadly. But bandai has no problem pushing out 50 version of unicorn gundam... ugh
About time you made a review! I missed ya!
Glad to find another fan of the G Gundam series.

The nubs on the shoulders is a nightmare but Bandai saved me by giving extra rubber vfin. At least I finally built it after 5 yrs. Gonna sand the nubs soon
Great review! Always happy to see a new upload. You made this kit look awesome. I really like this kit. It was simple and easy to detail. Super solid.
Awesome review as always! Keep up the good work!
Hey RedHeadPhone! May I ask what brand of yellow and gold did you use? They looks very nice (I'm reffering to the yellow on the God Gundam)
That gold is amazing! Do you remember what paint you used?,
Another fine video from the antique gundam reviewer! Please do more of these reviews!
Keep em coming Red!!!!! You're the best!
Thanks!!
Glad to see you back man anyway can do a review of the gouf 2.0?
Have this kit. During build, I accidentally broke the left knee joint due to tightness of the screws. Ended up with limited posing coz the left knee can no longer be bended. Anyway, nice review of an old kit.
Always look forward to your reviews!
Great work!

I would love to see that reviewed because not very many people reviewed it and they are like 10 years old, and I think you might even like that I think its cool and am contemplating whether or not I should buy it.
I definitely will at some point. Having reviewed the other 3 G Gundam MG's, I kind of feel obligated to haha
This is a very good in depth review! I was thinking of buying this and the god gundam now I’ll know what I need for the shining thanks!
Thanks, glad I could help!

"This hand of mine is burning red! It's loud roar tells me to defeat you! Here I go! Erupting Burning FINGER!"
Very Happy to see you again.
Welcome back mydudes
just wondering is their any chance you might do a review of the spiegel gundam soon since that's the only model kit from the G line you haven't reviewed yet.
Great review! Can you please do a review of the MG Victory and V2 Ver.Ka?
i really wanna get one of these now
I really like that gold it looks amazing. What did you use?
Thanks for asking. I used an old can of Krylon spray paint. The color is "Gold Leaf." I really like it because it's a bit duller than other golds, so I think the details are a bit more noticeable.
It was just confirmed a RG Shining Gundam is in the works.
You should try the SD-Neo version of this design. It is the best SD to date in my opinion. :D
This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you. Take this, my love, my anger and all of my sorrow. Shining fingerrrr!!!
Honestly i dont mind screws on my inner frame, as long as it gets covered or has the same color as the frame.
Agreed, they aren't a huge issue for me. They can really add stability to inner frames, which makes this kit one of the sturdiest Master Grades. I just make a point to mention them, as screws can sometimes be hit or miss (like that shot of the ankle in this video) and to make sure beginners know in advance they'll need a screw driver.
I just found your channel. I love it, but I am sad to read this might be the end. Do what you feel is best for you!

I think one thing you may consider adding to your reviews is scale. Maybe as something that doesn't affect score
personally i like the burning gundam version better as far as the 2 kits go.
also wish we would have gotten a set of rubber hands with both the shinning and burning that allowed them to hold hands for that epic burning and shinning god finger pose from the show
Me: Hmmm i don't really feel like buying gold paint to paint this.
Also me: Boy I cant wait for the HG 1/100 scale to come back in stock!
I start to take interest to this kit and the other old kits like MG Ground, God, and the GP's.

Now I can put the Ground and Shining into my next wishlist, and some paint too ✌😁
Hi redheaphones, what color did you use to paint the gold parts? Is it gaianotes?
I used a Krylon metallic spray paint called "Gold Leaf." I haven't used Krylon paint for anything else, as I only received that color as a gift from a friend, but it did a great job of making a gold that both popped, but didn't distract from the rest of the suit.
@@redheadphones6thanks for the response! yeah the gold looks adequate and nice to see as it doesn't stand out too much.
I wanna get this kit!
Good review bro, very well taught out. Subbed
What’s the Gold Paint you use?
Your channel is underrated but your review is amazing tho so what happened to old video that you review

This will be my second MG. I’m excited to build the second main suit that got me into Gundam. Would you like to see some G Gundam suits get a 2.0?
Every time I seem Bandai posting for a hobby show I am always disappointed because they never announce an MG 2.0 or an RG Shining. G Gundam never seems to get much love from Bandai 😔
What’s the process of the gold paint
Have any grunt mg kits around $40 or under to suggest? (Own zaku ll)
The GM version 2.0 is amazing! The GM Sniper II is also really solid. Great companions to a Zaku!
Can you review MG Wing Gundam Proto Zero for the next video?
if bandai releases an HIRM Shining Gundam based on the God Gundam inner frame, I'd assume that you get it
Do you plan on getting/reviewing the Hi-RM god gundam?
Maybe if I had the cash T_T
Maybe you could put the G Gundam Logo on the beamsaber?
Can u make a master grade zaku (MS-06F)
RE Bawoo pls!!!
This review should be done in yelling. Tasty, tasty gold.
I miss you buddy
I wish Bandai would give at least this and the Master Gundam a 2.0
Great review..
You should do a size comparison with the other MG gunpla, because i remember the F91 is a bit smaller than the rest
Nice review!
please review the gouf 2.0
is there a free stand for this kit?
Unfortunately no. This doesn't even have an action base connector, so aside from having to buy a stand, you're limited to using those included fork things to get this guy held in.
We need a ver ka or 2.0 whatever Bandai just do it
New video when?
Ya like jazz?
Also, I am going to miss you if this is, infact, the last video...
@The White Miru Read this videos description. The last part is sad...
Wish I could find this master grade
Everybody love the god gundam. But the shinning gundam what started it all. I prefer the shining over the god gundam cuz the battle theme for the shining gundam was way more inclined to the show than the battle theme of the god gundam.
Yeah, that Shining Gundam theme is so iconic. I always miss it when it changes to the God Gundam theme in the second half of the series.
I really like Shining Gundam more than God Gundam. One of the reason is because it didn't have unnecessary 'backpack', especially for Gundam that use martial arts
