@@MechaGaikotsu can you please answer a few questions for me. I am a bit of a newbie.. Well not really guess. Building for 7 or 8 months, 15 HG's, 25 RG's and 3 MG's (just changed over).. Hooked.. Anyway. The blue Mark V that is due for preorder release in the next month or so... Is that a new kit or just a re-release? Why is the new Raise Cain Hyaku-Shiki so insanely high priced. Thanks very much.. Planning a few orders here.. Love the vids. Watch every one....
@@garethmurphy8235 it is a brand-new P-Bandai release. But PB kits usually get multiple runs. The Raising Cain Shiki I think is one of those exceptions, which helps explain why it’s expensive. Plus I think the MSRP is high from the start (prob bc of the mekki coating), which doesn’t help.
Bandai did a great job in differentiating Seed grunt suits. The Zakus feel as if they are for land use while this one feels that it's meant for both the sky and land.
@@adriancomia6618 yeah but was early used. The guals were cheaper. And faster to manufacture so I'm sure that's why zaft made those which makes since during a war personally if I was in zaft if I got a choice it would be the zaoot easy
Could've wish it's GINN II instead of Zaku in Destiny. That torso looks fine on it. GuAIZ seems to be underutilized. I feel like wanna paint a GuAIZ in red, making it Lunamaria's custom. Heck, GuAIZs should've been redcoat standard unit in Destiny.
Because Strike need stabby stabby buddy to accompany along Strike's knives....remember episode 2? When strike only used knives to stop this boi? Thats the reason Bandai release Ginn, for us to recreate that scene...
@@Joshua_N-A Both Miguel's GINN, and Astray's GINN with Blue-and-Red color combination. Wonder which one will come with the D-pack though (the huge missiles)
This isn't really mentioned in the video but personally I *love* the black plastic used in this kit because it barely shows any stress marks if it shows any at all which is really important on black parts since, well white stress marks are painfully obvious on dark colors
The things I love from watching Mecha Gaikotsu channel is because of his character developments and how he presenting the content from time to time . I like it very much , I wish all the good things for you
A good tip for those panel lining markers that aren't water soluble: Lighter fluid and a toothpick. Just get like a little medicine cup and pour a very little amount of lighter fluid, you just need the tip of the toothpick to be coated. That's my go-to way to panel line venting with gaps too narrow for the fine-tip gundam markers.
For some reason, I’m falling in love with grunts more than the main gundams. Jesta is my all time favourite Gundam. Luna Maria and Ginn are tied to a close second place lol. Seriously The only thing I can lump with them that’s a gundam is the justice 2.0 the wing gundam and the MG RX-93 Nu. Just cause I love the idea of a normal gundam with the psycho frame haha.
This is extremely off topic for this video, but does anyone else want a MG core gundam? I feel like it would come with the Venus, Mars, and Earth armor in the box and the rest would be a PBandai expansion set like with the barbatos
Personally, I actually prefer sticker-style compared to waterslide... because I really never have good experience with water slides. Its just difficult to use. I guess dry transfer will be best, but sticker will be second-best
Tbh the zakus in the seed story are awesome looking compared to the other allied mobile suits. Even the cgue deep arms from seed is awesome even for a prototype weapon
Wish it was a mainstay in GSD. The torso does looks fine on it. Also the GuAIZ, they're underutilized and not much screen time. The GuAIZ R got a pair of hip railguns while the GuAIZ Experimental Firearms Type got the Freedom's beam rifle and Justice sub flight wing unit. CE got a lot of potential.
Can you do reviews on the MG Gundam AGE 2, and 3 kits? I was able to find them. I bought 1 based off your old review. Also, thank you. I have been on the fence about the Ginn. Love the Zaku Warrior/Phantom.
The company Molotow, the ones that make the liquid chrome markers, make a .05mm tip pens and they're great for panel lining. The excess can even be wiped away with an eraser when dried
I don't use paint on my kits, unless the surface is recessed and I won't touch it. I panel line with a painters pen and use alcohol as a solvent. Not recommended if you're painting, because it strips paint. But it gets a much deeper black, and you can have oily or clean looks depending how you use it.
Oooooh so THAT'S what the 2nd marker you showed was for! I just got that same metallic marker set for the gold and silver markers but was confused as to what the thinner marker was for. I can confirm that this marker can be used to panel line the RG Nu Gundam's fin funnels and It does this way better than the standard fine tip marker which could barely get through the grooves. Just do 2 or 3 passes on the lines and clean up with an eraser or Q-tip and voila!
SEED was my first experience with Gundam and it still ranks up there as one of my faves. The first Gunpla I ever bought was a grunt suit from seed, the HG M1 Astray, though I was too ambitious and tried to paint it, not completing it and it lies in it's box primed but not ready to go. Glad to see a SEED grunt in MG as that is my preferred size, and hope that someday we get a proper MG Astray (not color frame or other variant) as well as a Murasame and some GuAiz/GuAizR.
So many potential in the GINN. That Zaku torso looks fine on it. It just need the right colour. Could've gone with GINN II in GSD though because it gives Cosmic Era more identiry and originallity to it despite being a monoeye grunt. To me, it is THE Zaku of Cosmic Era.
For panelling I use blank ink, regular shop ink. It works like the first product you shown, it gives a nice deep lining that look drawn and it is water soluble. You can easily clean it off with without damaging any paint underneath. You can apply it with a brush and a property towel, or a 1€ quill. If you charge the quill a lot it even autofill, even of less of the marker I guess. I don't see the point of buying a market from the other side of the world.
Wife got me a MG Kyrios for Xmas and I didnt think I was going to like the 1/100 scale as much as 1/144 but I was wrong. Hoping to make this my second MG. Im a sucker for orange accents 🤣
Hey mecha you might want to go back though the footage for this video as your audio isn't synced up at all or it's out of order. Two examples are when you showed off everything that comes with the kit you said missile pods first but didn't show them until last. The other example is when you talked about the zaft frame almost nothing you said matched up with the footage
Is there really any point in the pilots in gundam model kits/mecha model kits in general. I mean you don't really have a need to display them beyond scale size or anything. I think the only ones that I'd really appreciate would be the hmm zoids pilots (specifically hmm liger zero with bit cloud)
I for one am not a huge fan of sticker decals either, but I understand their inclusion over waterslides to a degree. Like, say you're a more beginner level builder, you might be a little more hesitant to work with waterslides because they require a bit more skill to apply, where as with sticker decals if you mess up or don't like how they look you could just peel them off; and if you're not applying for GBWC or anything, those decals are sufficient enough to gave a kit a lil more shelf presence. As for PBandai, since you're paying a premium price you're likely a more experienced hobbyist and would benefit more from waterslides. But that's just my educated guess lol.
I chose to preorder the Xi Gundam over this and I do not regret that - finished it last nigh and love it - but I think I might just splurge on this now
Love that kit bashing XD Have you tried the bottled panel line accent color? I used to work with the pen before... till i was introduced to the bottled one, it's sooo quick and effective.
As a fan of Seed mecha design, I picked two of those. First I thought to do the Miguel version with the second one (one day or another because paint lazyness :p) but seeing your mix I wonder if I won't choose that mix version though (I still have a redundant zaku warrior since Pbandai make the Ray's one now). I hope they will continue with that line and make a MG CGUE too ^^.
Hi bro. I'm also using the pour type Gundam Marker but I find it annoying to use most of the times because the black ink is more viscous than the gray or brown marker. Is it just me getting a bad marker or it's common?
It's a shame that the GINN doesn't come with the D-equipment used in (I think) episode 3 (when Heliopolis broke apart at the seems) because I'd like to build a GINN squadron with at least 2 carrying said equipment in some way; it's still a good build though.
Can this model hold the weapons of the other SEED MG’s? I feel it’s weapon selection is kinda lacking and I’d like to give it the bazooka from the mg Duel Assault Shroud but iono if it’ll fit without modification
Seed's story may not be the best but you can't deny the designs hold up
Right? I'm so glad that the Zaku Warrior and Ginn got MGs now. So many nice designs out of SEED.
for me, gundam seed for gundam, is what the bayverse is for transformers. not good by any means, but decent
Seed has the most stream lined design. Just the right regality for the UC fans, but just the right nuance for the AU fans. Win Win
Seed is fine in my opinion, the battles were fine only issue is destiny battles were fine but the plot was kind of bad
I still like seed tho
Seed is okay, destiny starts okay but second half was terrible
I love Zaft Grunt suits so much, it's like modernized versions of Zeon's
Without any of the character
Both designed by Kunio Okawara
They are cool. I hope BANDAI eventually releases some fed grunts, like the Dagger L.
@@lucaseichler3140 theres already a dagger L tho

A bit of technical stuff, the Zaku packs are called "wizards"
Bandai did a great job in differentiating Seed grunt suits. The Zakus feel as if they are for land use while this one feels that it's meant for both the sky and land.
.... except the ginn still needs that flight unit to stay in the air. Its the DINN or BABI that can remain in the atmosphere

I love all the ZAFT units, but the Gin has been one of my fav models, it's so cool! Might have to get a MG one now after watching this.

Really hoping they do HG revive SEED grunts HGCE style, would be great to see the highgrade ZAKUs and GINNs sharing some construction
Been waiting for a modern Ginn kit for decades, but I expected an eventual HG, so getting a MG instead is a dream come true!
Wonder when will Mecha know the ultimate liner known as "accent color"....
Agreed - once you learn how to not use it in excess and damage the plastic, nothing compares.
This was my very first kit way back in 2005, I'm glad that they developed a remastered kit of this one
HG GINN was my very first Gunpla back in 2005, that started all the madness. Now i almost feel compelled to buy MG one :)
New product updates are fast, and I like a lively voice.

you are 100% correct with the waters slides vs. stickers.
One of my favorite grunt suits! I need a few.

Maybe they will do like in MG Build Strike the MG Universe Booster sold separately

can't wait for the orange Miguel Aiman custom, don't care if it is P-Bandai as someone who already owned several P-Bandai kits, lol.
If I had gunpla builing skills, I might be making a Lunamaria custom GINN based on Miguel's unit.
I love the Zaft designs and can't wait to see what else they use the frame for, hopefully a Guaz and Gouf Ignited
DINN too. Come on Bandai, do the MG Regenerate Gundam!
Love your reviews. Can't wait for mine to show up
More kickass SEED MG's, lovin it
Tbh the zakus in the seed story are awesome looking compared to the other allied mobile suits.
Even the cgue deep arms from seed is awesome even for a prototype weapon
Rau's CGUE in SEED: Re manga has Deep Arms. Wish it was translated.
@Jack well everyone has their taste of suits. And I don't mind using two of them.
I have waited for 4, no 5 thousand years for this!
Actually you wait about 18 years for this
Great Master grade, gotta love some good Gundam Seed.
Great job as always Mecha.
I always love the grey and orange zaft ms units.
The GINN was my first ever Master Grade. It was quite a fun build for me and it looks great next to my RG Zeong.
I'm glad that MG Seed now has the same unique trait (in terms of details) as if they could portray how MS trend in the Cosmic Era looks like
Are we going to get a review of the HG 1/48 juggernaut? I’m loving the look of it
Sure will. Have one of them built and plan to build the second one today!
@@MechaGaikotsu nice!
Have been waiting for this review. Thank you!
This was my very first MG build and was a ton of fun! Love the aesthetic of the colour combination and arsenal of weapons

What happened to your Lunamaria Zaku left hand?!
7:00 we armored core now

(also thanks for sleeping material to. Helps with calming)
In my dreams I would paint it in the colors of the dark angel's Deathwing Terminator
Hoping For MG CGUE.....
Reminds me of MG of Gundam X and Double X, simple designs made great by neat panel lines and details
I actually think having more non-UC grunt MGs is great, because for a long time the GN-X was the only non-UC grunt that had a MG kit.
damn Mecha, you did a great job on this build. this thing is so righteous!!
this is epic i was planning to buy this but in amazon you need to wait until may 31
mecha, i think i like it when you review a lil bit of what tools you used like that panel line bit.
I'm loving your Seed kits reviews.
I just picked this up today, I’m hoping for a high mobility Ginn or an xpac to make it. I bought this but pictured the high mobility in my head. 🤣🥲
the fineliner pen comes off with an ordinary staedtler plastic eraser which you can cut with a knife to make really small shapes!
The company Molotow, the ones that make the liquid chrome markers, make a .05mm tip pens and they're great for panel lining. The excess can even be wiped away with an eraser when dried

Begin with snap all part together. Nice Improvement.
The shoulder joints break really easily on the zaft frame if you bring the arms forward too far,the joint snaps off
Ah yes, the mobile suit that costed a life of a ZAFT pilot.
Just as every other monoeyes in almost every Gundam media.
But ZAFTs are aliens👽. They are not humans.
FINALLY FOR YEARS I TELL YOU and is it me or mecha kinda looks like DanTDM the minecraft youtuber
Just ordered this one and the full mechanics Calamity to give my Remastered Strike something to square off against.
Every zeon-esq suit should have that cowboy collar. Also...the Zaku head looks so weird without it.

Have you tried the bottled panel line accent color? I used to work with the pen before... till i was introduced to the bottled one, it's sooo quick and effective.
how to clean the thin fine liner? mine all are dried up after used on painted surface ...
Also, the grey pour type pen is easier to use i find, it flows easier. the black sometimes doesnt want to flow right..
