In the anime the lupus and lupus rex was awsome. As far as the hg goes i dont mind paint the missing colors and looking at it makes me think of a warewolf. Personally i like it
Atra: are you I love with a certain someone?Mika: yeah.Atra: is is it Kudelia?Mika: noAtra: me?Mika: no.Atra: Barbatos?Mika: no.Who is it?Mika: Mace-chan.
The Lupus Rex was meant to be an absolute BEAST!!!💯 I absolutely love the perportions of it but i would like to see a function to turn it into a quadraped... after MIKASUKI totally crushed Hasmahl it was the most amazing ground combat sequence in any Gundam series EVER! with all Gundams, they are primarily made for space combat, cause that's proximately where they engaged in combat. so it was fantastic to see the true potential of ground combat of the likes we've never seen before and will never see again...💯 That's why i love this Gundam so much, even in space combat MIKASUKI completely dominated any opponents that were foolish enough to engage him in any form of combat...💯 it absolutely underscores the title of which he earned so rightfully... The Devil of Tekkedan...😎💪🤘🤘🤘💯😈
I have mixed feelings about the Rex, I like the idea of the huge arms, considering Mika's fighting style, and I think in an action pose the Rex can look good. Just standing though... yeah it's off.
thank you thank you for bringing back the normal review time length. thank you for providing content with effort for your subscribers. the old mecha gaikotsu is back
So... I've yet to paint mine. But I also took the tail, ripped out the sub arms, and modded the spaces in the arms for a pail of tails. And now I have the Gundam Double Rex. I still need to decide what to do with the backpack since it no longer mounts a tail there.
IBO kits were very cheap at retail, I was able to buy almost the whole line because of the nice pricing. Good luck finding them after pandemic and with this economy though.
I wished they kept the old shoulder from Lupus. The new shoulder pads doesnt suit the kit as much. That said, I'll just go with the 1/100 when it comes out
call me weird. but i think for the design wise i do love this form better from the other gundam even the barbatos design it self. its look odd and stupid because you forget about the color separation, even thou it is hg in my opinion you should apply some color like silver or gold for the piston or something like gear around that inner frame. and all of the odd aspect will dissapear with good detail and wathering!!!
All of the versions are nice indeed. I love Lupus Rex the most as it's perfect for its story, and only a natural evolution. Bet the original creator(s) of this Gundam frame would have been surprised at the beast it eventually became hundred of years later. The hand claws and huge arms say it all. Beast Gundam-nothing like the more elegant Gundams across the many universes. It should be judged in its context. I feel it's a great design, and its head still has a "classic" aura of sorts, so it still resembles the idea of a "traditional" Gundam while not being conventional at all. This set is awesome, the reviewer just subjectively dislikes it. As he himself said, if you are going to paint it, no problems at all-which is why I did, to replace all but the eye stickers. OOB it requires some work to look "perfect" (IMHO), but if one is not picky, it still looks great with its massive, intentionally exaggerated proportions.
This is my first kit, I play Warhammer so the snap on parts definitely made things easier. I really like this model though. It wasn't hard to put together and in all honesty the arms and legs are a little wonky but it's ok haha I'm happy with it all around though. For a noobie I'd give it a 8/10 Some of the pieces are unbelievably tiny and like he said about the stickers being big haha
I've did a painted build for the sake of my review (which I hope you can check out, BTW) because I can't stand the straight build as it lacks too much coloring. I colored even the symbol on the tail.
I know the color correcting stickers are pretty bad, but that never stopped me from loving this Gundam design, when I first got this kit & finished building it, I immediately fell in love with this Gundam.
the most interesting on this kit is a Tail-Bit... also looks similar to Master Gundam's extended wire-fists. Its Rounded shoulder-armors and the claws... it strikingly brings me back remembering Master Gundam's design.
Very cool review! I'm going to unbox this exact model in my channel so I was looking for pointers on how to title the video and such things. It looks beautiful finished, I can't wait to complete it. PD: the most important aspect I learned from you was the camera angle >_< I had no idea a facefront assembly would be so tough to watch with such minuscule parts.
i love this kit to be honest, the animalistic form of a wolf, and its mean savage look really gives the barbatos justice to its true form, and for a high grade its perfect for me, just paint the hands and its all good(you can include the tail if you dont want the foil seals) but i painted the eyes of this thing red so it would look just like its last episode berserk form.
I love both Barbatos Lupus and Barbatos Lupus Rex. I really don't see any problems with the portions on the Rex. I think it looks beastly and amazing. Don't forget that is called REX for a reason
The only parts I had an issue with was the oversized feet, even then modify them a little and there not too bad. The Arms could use some color separation to make them look better.
I think the exaggerated proportions look awesome! I had this kit before but the legs locked up from my shotty glue application -.- getting a replacement soon
+Mecha Gaikotsu I just found all the actual differences, for the bottom section is bigger toes, added back heel, red colour thing, zipper. Top it is the mid point in the armor that is different design, the sides are the same design, new parts but same design, parts are the same, face and sides. They are almost the same, so it is the lupus 6th form.
I think honestly don’t think the proportions are too bad, yes it looks weird but just watch the anime more specifically Tekkadans Last Stand, the long arms allowed the Gundam to run on all 4s like a wolf and in close combat it even without a weapon it obviously had a reach advantage against the Graze even though they had the length of their swords plus the length of there arms the claws of the lupus rex could still reach them first
Changing out the limbs for the Lupus limbs is exactly why I considered getting it. I'm in the hate it camp, the only question that remains for me is do I get another Lupus for this and what do I do with the rex limbs. Maybe some kind of beast custom.
hmmmm ... I have a feeling the body, torso and head were meant to be a customization base, the rest ...... eh For example, i've been imagining a Barbatos Lupus Rex with Rex's Head, Waist, torso and legs, Lupus' arms, Rex's shoulders, Rex's arms are mounted on the Rex's backpack somewhat like Gusion Rebake. I wanted to think about trying to relocate that tail from the back to the butt( I get that it was probably mounted there in the anime for maybe a higher sync rate with mika's AV, but still)
I just found this kit at my local target as a lucky find. Built it and gotta say the yellow stickers were hard to place well meanwhile the waist and the backpack-wireholder pieces were very loose and hard to pose
i think that the lupus Rex is much better than the lupus, for the colors, the huge arms make him really wild like a really wolf=lupus, but also I really love the first version of the barbatos, sincerely i really don't understand the lupus xD..
I know it may be too late for this, you did mention Barbatos 6th form has small arms, would it look better if Lupus Rex's arms are fitted on that and 6th form's arms fitted onto this?
As we all know that the Lupus Rex was taken from the Mobile Armor part to upgrade. I wonder what they doing with the Laser Beam part? That puzzling me...
5:29 try repainting the wire with a bright color or the red lightning effect color lupus rex has, a little costom and the junky wire, it'll actually looks good
I totally get what you mean with the color problems. Doesn't help with the claws when the box art and their pictures of the model have golden claws. Thought I didn't get the stickers until I checked the manual. Either way at $15 and getting some really nice poses out of it, it'll make for a good painting attempt.
The more bestial proportions don't bother me one bit, the design is supposed to be more of a beastly, berserker type. And with the addition of the tail blade (which in the anime, seems to function a lot like how Scorpion's spear in Mortal Kombat does)...yeah, that cements the more bestial nature of the Lupus Rex. What DOES bother me is the quality of some of the parts. I haven't had this thing doing that much in the year that I've had it, but the ankles have gotten loosey-goosey ALREADY, and the back of the left hand has popped off and gone missing, meaning that I'll no doubt need to hunt down another copy of this thing JUST TO FIX THAT. On the other hand, maybe that's not such a bad thing: I love those open hands, they give me a very distinct Shining Finger/Godfinger vibe. Maybe with an extra kit, I could paint that extra right open hand to resemble that? (Or perhaps a bright red to be its own thing: Lupus Finger!!) And just as a nitpick, I also don't particularly like how the Lupus Rex ditched all instances of the stylized power symbol. That seems like it was a hallmark of the Barbatos that should've stayed in some way.
Hmmm... It feels rushed, the way this kit ended up. Good thing I resisted the urge to pre-order this. Will have to wait for your review of the FM version.
I think what's off about this kit is the torso proportions, it's just too short or small. a builder/page named mokimats extended it's torso and it look normal and cool.
A recommendation if you plan to buy this to play first sand the joints that are to attach the arms to the torzo since these are very strong force the articulations of the shoulders when moving the arms forward
Tbh this is actually my favourite design and the form 4 is my second favourite even tho I liked all the other forms including form 6 aside from 4 lupus beats the rest out easy for my 3rd favourite barbatos design and yeah I got this kit and it only looks good after I extended the torso thighs and shoulder connection to make him broader I still love this and it's respective metal build looks awesome! I don't have it yet but its in the post!
Thank you for this review. I had the same thought, that it is better when it has the arms and legs of the lupus. plus, i wouldn't be surprised if some skip on buying this, and save their money for the gundam bael.
Definitely gonna kitbash the arms with a second Lupus here... But I'm gonna keep the long claw feet though. Kinda shows a more "wolfy" aspect to it. Might gonna paint the Lupus option hands' claws into yellow too, for aesthetic purposes..
Here after 5 years... time goes really fast!!. Mine was my first ever kit and still here in my desktop and ngl the nubmarks are awful haha, but idk why but mine after 5 years is really solid, i didn't put any extra effort so idk maybe i just win lottery with this one. Yeah the sticker sucks i just use the one in the tailblade xd.
With the MG ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 4] coming soon, hopefully the other variants are made soon as an MG: ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 1] ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 2] ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 3] ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 5] ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 5] GROUND TYPE ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos [Form 6] ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex I hope the wait will be worth it. Hopefully the MG ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex will be able to fix the proportions compared to the HG and the 1/100.
hey, at least the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex is looking pretty sweet, and it fixes pretty much all the missing color without stickers, as we've seen pics of it without any stickers or paint
in fact, all it's missing is the yellow fingers, and those would've been hard to do when it's essentially a No-Grade. even Master Grades don't really do that (I'm looking at you, MG Astray Red Frame)
I would call barbatos lupus rex barbatos draconas rex Because of the whole lightning eye thing So instead of wolf king it would dragon king more fitting for something with a tail With a dragon like spike on the end.
to be fair, they incorporated the sub-arms and rifles directly into the forearms, so the huge size is justified.
Ahmad Asnawi or maybe the barbatos just needed a bigger fap hand
justified functionally, but aesthetically, the arms look too wonky and goofy on that torso.
@@minionedifier7776 of course it is my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
@@minionedifier7776 ur opinion, I don't like it.
Someone pointed out that the design of this gundam is based on a werewolf

rasheed gregory well lupus rex does mean mean wolf king
Honestly,I still love lupus rex
barbatos lupus rex the demon bearded wolf king

The Red Comet why it is english not japanese
anri kurake maybe it's because I can't write or speak Japanese.
Lol
The Red Comet i was expecting orga for some reason
The more and more I see the proportions they are growing on me....it looks very wolfish the more I see it
Crow Dash exactly.. thats why its called lupus rex.. wolf king
No that would be artorias with his Farron Fanboys
Errorcutive Bartorias Lupus Rex - Farron Customs
With a name like "Rex", you'd think the ridiculously gigantic arms were meant to one-up a certain famous dinosaur....
YayaFingerButters actually Rex also means king that's why Barbatos lupus Rex is referred to a wolf king
YayaFingerButters ...Wrong
It was a joke, he wasn't trying to be accurate to the series.
Jetfire48 i love the design of barbatos lupus rex it is unique
Rex: Latin for king :)
"The balls are much larger than before"
I need to mature myself
The Lupus Rex was meant to be an absolute BEAST!!!💯

after MIKASUKI totally crushed Hasmahl it was the most amazing ground combat sequence in any Gundam series EVER!
with all Gundams, they are primarily made for space combat, cause that's proximately where they engaged in combat.
so it was fantastic to see the true potential of ground combat of the likes we've never seen before and will never see again...💯
That's why i love this Gundam so much, even in space combat MIKASUKI completely dominated any opponents that were foolish enough to engage him in any form of combat...💯
it absolutely underscores the title of which he earned so rightfully...

I'm glad they got rid of that long side skirts!
thank you thank you for bringing back the normal review time length. thank you for providing content with effort for your subscribers. the old mecha gaikotsu is back
I just watched the last fight and the arms are about that size
i dont care i will still buy it!
same just paint all yellow with gold, and adjust the waist piston size with runner. problem solve!!!
cool idea!
So... I've yet to paint mine. But I also took the tail, ripped out the sub arms, and modded the spaces in the arms for a pail of tails. And now I have the Gundam Double Rex. I still need to decide what to do with the backpack since it no longer mounts a tail there.
Ye me too cis i love this kit
Same this mobile suit is pure gold
3:00 do people keep forgetting the fact that bandai made IBO kits to be much cheaper in cost than most hgs before
This didn’t age well
IBO kits were very cheap at retail, I was able to buy almost the whole line because of the nice pricing. Good luck finding them after pandemic and with this economy though.
I wished they kept the old shoulder from Lupus. The new shoulder pads doesnt suit the kit as much. That said, I'll just go with the 1/100 when it comes out
Lawrence Michael Cruzo The old shoulders got completely fucked in the show xd
Rex or Lupus?
lupus, one was chop by hasmal tail blade and the other shoulder was severely damage when holding the giant buster sword,.
I swapped the blue shoulder with the red lupus one, honestly looks more fitting bcs its bigger. Also the overall red makes it look more "evilish"
Since this is the last form of the Barbatos, Barbatos Lupus is the best form of the Barbatos.
Spee9dy Agreed
Spee9dy nope
call me weird. but i think for the design wise i do love this form better from the other gundam even the barbatos design it self. its look odd and stupid because you forget about the color separation, even thou it is hg in my opinion you should apply some color like silver or gold for the piston or something like gear around that inner frame. and all of the odd aspect will dissapear with good detail and wathering!!!
+tansend arga you're not weird at all. It's not about what other people like , it's about what you like.
Agree. The rex is just ugly imho.
Raise your hand if you like barbatos lupus than the lupus rex
At first, I read "Raise your flag"...
What a shame, I was so proud of you for 3 seconds, man...
I raise my flag
if its as a gunpla then "yes" but anime wise, im more of a lupus rex fan
@@definitelynothiiragi9108anime lupus rex was badass

I like how they're slowly turning the Barbatos into a dinosaur.
Dio Brando Eh not entirely the entire point of the rex being added on is just to give him the title wolf king
For Me It looks like Humanoid Scorpion
Man j personally love this design I think the beast aesthetic suits the model really well. Posed accordingly this thing looks like a BEAST
"Mecha Gorilla". that is exactly the first impression i could ever get from rex.
Personally, I LOVE this version of the Barbatos. Going buy this one.
Whoever engineered the head on this kit, deserves the sloppiest of toppie, it was soooo intricate but easy to assemble.
the most interesting on this kit is a Tail-Bit... also looks similar to Master Gundam's extended wire-fists.
Its Rounded shoulder-armors and the claws... it strikingly brings me back remembering Master Gundam's design.

i love this kit to be honest, the animalistic form of a wolf, and its mean savage look really gives the barbatos justice to its true form, and for a high grade its perfect for me, just paint the hands and its all good(you can include the tail if you dont want the foil seals) but i painted the eyes of this thing red so it would look just like its last episode berserk form.
hence why I plan on combining my Lupus Rex with the Barbataurus for my custom build.
So far my only IBO kit I've built. I actually enjoyed putting it together and didn't mind the stickers.
I love both Barbatos Lupus and Barbatos Lupus Rex. I really don't see any problems with the portions on the Rex. I think it looks beastly and amazing. Don't forget that is called REX for a reason
+Daniel Weaver I love the proportions of the rex, I just don't feel this kit does it justice
Like what?
The only parts I had an issue with was the oversized feet, even then modify them a little and there not too bad. The Arms could use some color separation to make them look better.
are you going to review julia reginlaze ? i'm just asking
I want a 1/60 version of this.
This is pretty much my most favorite gundam
I think the exaggerated proportions look awesome! I had this kit before but the legs locked up from my shotty glue application -.- getting a replacement soon
I love that you can be critical but not negative great reviews keep it up
+Mecha Gaikotsu I just found all the actual differences, for the bottom section is bigger toes, added back heel, red colour thing, zipper. Top it is the mid point in the armor that is different design, the sides are the same design, new parts but same design, parts are the same, face and sides. They are almost the same, so it is the lupus 6th form.
I think honestly don’t think the proportions are too bad, yes it looks weird but just watch the anime more specifically Tekkadans Last Stand, the long arms allowed the Gundam to run on all 4s like a wolf and in close combat it even without a weapon it obviously had a reach advantage against the Graze even though they had the length of their swords plus the length of there arms the claws of the lupus rex could still reach them first
Just ordered mine for $22! It will be my first gundam so I can’t wait
Mine too :D
Changing out the limbs for the Lupus limbs is exactly why I considered getting it. I'm in the hate it camp, the only question that remains for me is do I get another Lupus for this and what do I do with the rex limbs. Maybe some kind of beast custom.
for the wire...just get a thin clear peice of heat shrink tubing, and it will add a ton of rigidity to keep the wire from getting messed up
Thanks for the kit bash suggestion, it'll really appeal the people who are on the fence about this and already have the normal Lupus.
hmmmm ...
I have a feeling the body, torso and head were meant to be a customization base, the rest ...... eh
For example, i've been imagining a Barbatos Lupus Rex with Rex's Head, Waist, torso and legs, Lupus' arms, Rex's shoulders, Rex's arms are mounted on the Rex's backpack somewhat like Gusion Rebake. I wanted to think about trying to relocate that tail from the back to the butt( I get that it was probably mounted there in the anime for maybe a higher sync rate with mika's AV, but still)
I just found this kit at my local target as a lucky find. Built it and gotta say the yellow stickers were hard to place well meanwhile the waist and the backpack-wireholder pieces were very loose and hard to pose
I fell in love with this kit and tryin to save up for it as my first Gundam kit, it's also kinda remind me of guts from berserk
I like this Barbatos!
Also it looks like a beast with a tail
Just finished this kit. The length of the arms and size of the feet work better in action poses than as a standing up straight pose.
I might get this suit.
Combine the "lupus" and rex parts.
Might just put the claw hands.
yes I've been waiting for this video all day
omigosh this video was in my feed just after my binge of IBO season 1!
This must be destiny!!!
seed destiny?
sorry i had to
i think that the lupus Rex is much better than the lupus, for the colors, the huge arms make him really wild like a really wolf=lupus, but also I really love the first version of the barbatos, sincerely i really don't understand the lupus xD..
How much inch 7or8
Damn, this is already out? It felt like this would be out a bit later.
Barbatos is designed like a demon. Think of it as a mechanical demon and it's gorgeous.
is anyone talking about the extra pieces in runner A??
I know it may be too late for this, you did mention Barbatos 6th form has small arms, would it look better if Lupus Rex's arms are fitted on that and 6th form's arms fitted onto this?
As we all know that the Lupus Rex was taken from the Mobile Armor part to upgrade. I wonder what they doing with the Laser Beam part? That puzzling me...
July 2021, was able to find this kit and HG Barbatos at Target for $17 USD.
My dad and i made this, unluckily it's so flimsy. But overall i think it's great at posing, but I wonder how these guys stabilize it.
Even though I’ve heard the many issues that this mobile suit has. I’m still going to get it.
For parts that is
I love this form, it feels more beastly. I just wished the claws themselves were larger.
I personally love the look of Barbatos lupus rex
5:29 try repainting the wire with a bright color or the red lightning effect color lupus rex has, a little costom and the junky wire, it'll actually looks good
I guess you finally realized that the HGIBO kits were designed with customization in mind.
I totally get what you mean with the color problems. Doesn't help with the claws when the box art and their pictures of the model have golden claws. Thought I didn't get the stickers until I checked the manual. Either way at $15 and getting some really nice poses out of it, it'll make for a good painting attempt.

"The balls are much larger than what we have seen before"-Mecha Gaikotsu
The legs are completely the same ones as lupus except for the huge toes
I don't think color is an issue when it comes to Gundam because you can costumize your own Gundam by colouring it.
Really wish this model was better proportioned. Considering getting it just for the tail attachment.
Why the thumbnail is kinda familiar
...
MR BEAST!!!!
A recommendation if you plan to buy this to play first sand the joints that are to attach the arms to the torzo since these are very strong force the articulations of the shoulders when moving the arms forward
I have this exact gundam and every time I pose it stuff just breaks to the point I don't even touch it anymore
Keep em out for Barbatos....You sir, have a new subscriber.
Great reviews too!
Tbh this is actually my favourite design and the form 4 is my second favourite even tho I liked all the other forms including form 6 aside from 4 lupus beats the rest out easy for my 3rd favourite barbatos design and yeah I got this kit and it only looks good after I extended the torso thighs and shoulder connection to make him broader I still love this and it's respective metal build looks awesome! I don't have it yet but its in the post!
I love the concept of this kit the beastial elements of the claws and tail, hopefully the 1/100 has better proportions.
The Barbatos has a tail because it's a big space rat.
Thank you for this review. I had the same thought, that it is better when it has the arms and legs of the lupus. plus, i wouldn't be surprised if some skip on buying this, and save their money for the gundam bael.
any sticker for any gundam to me... anxiety inducing
I think this baby would look great with the Kimaris trooper's lower body. I don't have the Rex yet so I love to ask if anyone's tried that yet?
I took the legs and torso from barbatos lupus and put them with lupus rex and it looks AMAZING!!!
and few years later, a ver.ka of this will be released.
lupus is still the badass barbie
It weird how I got a advertisement for lupus (the sickness)
i would say the torso and waist part are to wide, skirt armor are to thick too, which make the stomach area kind of covered and look short
Definitely gonna kitbash the arms with a second Lupus here... But I'm gonna keep the long claw feet though. Kinda shows a more "wolfy" aspect to it. Might gonna paint the Lupus option hands' claws into yellow too, for aesthetic purposes..
Here after 5 years... time goes really fast!!.
Mine was my first ever kit and still here in my desktop and ngl the nubmarks are awful haha, but idk why but mine after 5 years is really solid, i didn't put any extra effort so idk maybe i just win lottery with this one.
Yeah the sticker sucks i just use the one in the tailblade xd.
Barbatos is a name of a demon. Thats why it's his beast mode form

Hopefully the MG ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex will be able to fix the proportions compared to the HG and the 1/100.

This last form of Barbatos just need a right pose. Then it will absolutely look cool 😎
hey, at least the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex is looking pretty sweet, and it fixes pretty much all the missing color without stickers, as we've seen pics of it without any stickers or paint
in fact, all it's missing is the yellow fingers, and those would've been hard to do when it's essentially a No-Grade. even Master Grades don't really do that (I'm looking at you, MG Astray Red Frame)
Mecha!!! when are you going to do your best MG of 2016? i've been waiting for two months now
U do know there's two holes on the booster sides right it can be used as a weapon holder
I think I'll kitbash this with the Lupus. Mainly the crown, chest, and mace.
I do want to try those arms on the Gusion Rebake Full City though.
I would call barbatos lupus rex barbatos draconas rex Because of the whole lightning eye thing So instead of wolf king it would dragon king more fitting for something with a tail With a dragon like spike on the end.
I have a question. If the other weapons of barbatos example is the mace are 1/144 they can fit with your 1/100 barbatos?
Thank you!
not tryna be rude, but have you seen Blood Orphans? he looks like this for a reason
