Good to know the Rodi kits aren't bad. For chonky mobile suits they look great with articulation that match. In the anime they aren't doing acrobatics and just do basic movement due to their design especially the landman rodis from season 2.
They aren't bad, but the base retail kit feels...knocked down a peg for lack of better word. It is a space use kit, which means that it looks better in the air, but overall the legs bring it down due to a couple of weird aesthetic choices. On the base Man Rodi, most of the leg design looks good, but the feet are symmetrical on the back and front parts. We've seen mechs in gundam that have rocket feet or no feet at all, but the Rodi's feet isn't as streamlined, and the two ends just dangling there with the thruster bell in between feels like dead weight or something vestigial. I will admit it is a practical design for a space grunt, but it's not as good to look at. But the biggest factor here is the light green color of the legs. It just breaks up the heavy utilitarian vibe of the dark green of the main body. It's fine enough on the arms, but putting light green on the legs suspends the dark green off the ground, making it feel like it has less weight, which goes against the pros of a bulky design. On the other hand, the Landman Rodi fixes these issues. The legs are bulkier and have a foot design that clearly denotes a heel and foot end, and they made the entire leg orange. So even if the feet are not planted/aligned with the floor, the curves of the bulk make it look good anyway. As for color scheme, the main body is now beige white, but it doesn't feel floaty because the heavier orange is the one on the bottom touching the floor. And also, it made them stand out in the forest fight with Galan Mossa, since he view Tekkadan as dogs/fodder, yet they blend so well in the fight with Hashmal on Mars. That said, the base Rodi kits would be better off if they made legs mostly or even completely match the dark green of the torso.
The Rodis are the Post Disaster equivalent of the Zaku, yet there have only been the two kits of it. Really wish that they'd release a Garm Rodi or a Spinner Rodi kit.
@@zastaroth669 The problem is that they never intended to release the other rodi designs. If they had they would have made a full inner frame for the Man Rodi instead of the box the torso mounts to.
I can't believe you managed to track down this kit. I have been looking around and it is either out of stock or over priced. Thank for doing this review
I love the Landman Rodi one of my favorite semi mass produced mobile suits. I prefer it over the Man Rodi which it is based on, it's one of my favorite mobile suits in the entire MSGIB series. I would love to see this kind of mobile suit pop up again in the future. Also it doesn't really matter but I think they are kinda cute they look like orange and white bumblebees.
I don't have a Land Rodi, but I recently got me a Space Rodi, also a Gusion. Huge fan of both designs, as I understand though, the community is pretty hot and cold with it.
indeed. but I believe it will open up to the designs more in time. ps: if you can't find the landman rodi legs for it. Just steal the legs from the gusion or a hg origin/ polycap zaku legs and your gucci... recommended
sadly it lacks the opening hatch gimmick in the side-skirt armor where it stores its hand grenades as it was featured in the IBO 2nd season OP2 sequence.
Someone made a human-sized version a few years ago, but they mistakenly put the booster on the hammer head instead of in the middle where it attaches to the holster. It's on YT.
Ah the landman rodi, made customs before the landman legs, and its simiplicity in its curves help it blend in with most curvy legs or parts at the times... even straight up zaku 1 legs suit it just fine. A testement to its flexibiltiy in its design
I went with the Scharfrichter set to get my Landman cos it was a darn sight cheaper. Plus it came with a new MS rather than 3 i already had. (Plus bonus accessories) I MIGHT get this set if i can afford it as i've been wanting to build these three again. My Landman has been sat on my VCR since i built him back in February 2018.
I think a lot of people would purchase this HG over buying the existing ones is for the Dáinsleif. This HG reminds me that Bandai has surprisingly yet to make an MG for: - ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus - ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex - ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion - ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion Rebake - ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City
Yes, it is worth getting 2 man rodis, 2 IBO option set 9, paint, 2 gerails, and 4 IBO option set 8 to make 2 landman rodis and 2 Scharfrichter Gerails~
well, the 'cheese' color is done 'correctly' in this kit, really lot better than GM Master Cheese. love this kit, but sadly i must buy that big box to get this 1 kit. nice review! thank you!

I like how we're slowly getting to see more & more of Mecha's physical body as time passes XD
As a certified Rodi-head im definitely gonna stick to just getting the option sets, I just wish we could get a Garm Rodi at some point too.
The Rodis are the Post Disaster equivalent of the Zaku, yet there have only been the two kits of it. Really wish that they'd release a Garm Rodi or a Spinner Rodi kit.
I want spinner rodi
Man rodi fans unite and rejoice!

Is nobody else going to say that it looks like bb-8 on sterroids?
Mecha: but you get your choice of colors. Me: that’s good. Mecha: the Colors contains Potassium Benzoate. 😕 Mecha: That's bad.
I love it when my gunpla tastes like Cheetos and artificial preservatives.
Mmm. Them's good eatin.
What’s this mean? Can I not use certain kinds of paint on it or something?
@@Endurlay it can be a mild irritant, in some people it can even cause allergic reactions or hives.
This kit with the geirail was my first Pbandai set, and both of the two included ms are still among my favorites

I totally forgot I had my own Landman Rodi stashed away in the closet. I was gonna scratch-build a new head and paint it for a contest.
Not a bad colour, it's going to be better with highlighting and weathering
I don't have a Land Rodi, but I recently got me a Space Rodi, also a Gusion.

Twin welding hammer choppers T-pose mad lad FTW.
Panel lining this lil thicc boi is a must. Lots of surface detail there.
sadly it lacks the opening hatch gimmick in the side-skirt armor where it stores its hand grenades as it was featured in the IBO 2nd season OP2 sequence.
Honestly I love the hammer chopper weapon.
Someone made a human-sized version a few years ago, but they mistakenly put the booster on the hammer head instead of in the middle where it attaches to the holster. It's on YT.
Landman-Chad throwing the epic Boomerang-chopper at the Hashmal! 😁
I loved this suit in the anime. I was so dissapointed when I saw it was P-Bandai.
I used the Green one of these with 30 Minute Mission Kits works great if you want a Bulkier Big Body.
" Oh some shits gone ". Man you made my day 😂
The good/bad part reminded me of James from the end of the 2nd Pokémon movie, when he keeps going back and forth with good and bad.

That's just adorable!
Thanks for the review, MechG.
This is the master grade I want that I know I'll never get

this is one of the cutest model kit ive seen in all of gundam universe, no sd kits
Am I the only one that think Man Rodi look cute? They look like little tanooki

Cool new video about Gundam iron blooded 😎

is the plain black and seprate eye sticker not so you can have it looking left or right
You see the orange as cheese, I see the white as white cheese. There's too much cheese in my head right now.
That looks sick for a home depot color variant
Chad guy brings fight against mobile armor by luring it
Wait it wouldn't be a cardboard sarcophagus.. it would be more like a womb.. because the Gundam isn't built yet
this is what happens when you mix chedder and swiss together
Suitable candidate for the National MS of France/Switzerland/Italy
I saw the BandaiNamco logo on box so this is a recently P-Bandai reissue.
its just 5 HG in 1 box, a little extra part and decals.. and they price it up.. and the landman part is just taken from the option set.. T_T
well, the 'cheese' color is done 'correctly' in this kit, really lot better than GM Master Cheese. love this kit, but sadly i must buy that big box to get this 1 kit. nice review! thank you!
You can get it in with the Geirail too. Still pbandai but it’s gotta be cheaper
Gotta be one of my favorite mobile suits in ibo
will you also take a look at the other pbandai IBO kits?
I like your hair based off of the 3 seconds where it's in frame 0:53
kinda unrelated but how have the reginlaze julia whip-swords held up with time
how many kits are inside that box? It can't be cheap being p-bandai as well.
Will you be reviewing Cucuruz Doan's Zaku? I saw the RX78 review but I haven't seen your review on the titular character's Mobile Suit.
Still prefer the OG Gusion HG. Definitely need to move it up my customs log.
Where is your Rg Nu Gundam Fukuoka version?
Completely off topic from the landman rodi, but have you seen the new Gundam frame revealed. It belongs to the falk family (one of the seven stars)
Mecha when are you gonna review the hg hyakuren and rouei???
Actually!, that anti ship lance it's for Bael, he use that Lance in the manga idk why barb toes have it
I think they should use some other joint for ibo kits but idk what they could use
i`m seeing robotnik`s giant robot......
I really hope they bandai make MG version of this
Land man Rodis are so cute and chonky
Hey mecha I have basically the whole Tekkadan Crew so is this worth it ?
I want this so badly but my only option is to get the man rodi, option part set 9 and paint
