Maybe the real Gundams were the friends we made along the way
This hits deep man
Sir that the one piec..... Wait so the One Piece is a Gundam ( _shock_ )
@@grip3939 always has been 🧑🚀
@grip3939 the one piece is a dragon ball lol
Agreed
hg kits that come with stands/action bases, kick butt
also bandai waterslides for this kit are neat!
Hell yeah. HG00 are especially cool.
wow thats awesome
In a good world, all model kits would come with a stand
This was one of my first Gunpla builds like 13 years ago, and it is still probably one of my favorite HG kits even to this day...Its rock solid, has great articulation, looks great, and is very easy to come by
QanT is my all time favorite gundam. Lore, asymmetry design. Just perfect.
Man of culture detected. It is my favourite of all time too, topped only by 00 Qan[T] Full Saber and ELS Qan[T].
Not to mention one of the strongest gundam lore wise
Same here, buddy.
Its make sense cuz its a fusion of 2 of the most badass looking ms in the series
@@uohhh3690 true.
The Qan[T] is one of those classic HGs that I still recommend to people just getting into the hobby. It’s simple and a bit basic compared to newer kits, but it looks excellent when finished and has aged like wine
Daily reminder that the RFV Zaku is omitted from the lists of: Platinum tier, HG reviews and Gunpla reviews.
Why it happened?
Why?
@@vobogquossum9859probably he just forgot
I've been waiting years for mechagaikotsu to review 00 qant
ong, its been 7 years since I wondered when he would do it
This was the last kit I built before I moved out of New York. It’s my favorite 00 and HG kit outside of the build variant, I stare at it every now and then to reminisce
Yes, yes there were reprints of this it and other 00 kits
this year
Exactly this. I just picked this kit up maybe 2 months ago.
As someone who has this exact kit for a few years, I will say that it's not holding up the best. It can still pull off poses great, but some parts are loosening. The joints holding up the backpack broke on me, but glue can fix it. The polycaps inside the hips that connect to the waist broke and I used replacements from other kits or filed down the pegs on the waist unit. Now this isn't a terrible kit. The reason mine had a few loose and broken pieces were simply from moving it so much. I'm sure if you just keep it in a few poses and never touch it again, it will be sturdy.
00 Qan[T] just lends itslef so well to gunpla form, a simple yet effective design, one of my favorite gundams ever.
this video was uploaded when my copy of this kit came, it got to my house when this was uploaded, HOW
Good to see such a positive review of this kit after all this time. I’m planning on a kitbash of this one and the Build Shia Qant, and this video is very helpful to see what I’m in for.
This one has the blue logo now. Bandai recently shipped out another batch of these, including other various 00 kits.
Yess the 00 Qan T, one of my favorite Gundams
good thing the Command Qan[T] colored parts are tinted just right, you can exchange some then just apply a silver paint on the underside
Thank you for going through this. I've been playing with the idea of using this kit with others for customization. Just need the cash and time to do it now. Thanks again.
Maybe if you tried the 1 hour challenge with this one instead of the Djeh you might have been able to do it under 1 hour jaja. Cool to see this. In my case I'm trying to collect and build all the generations of the 00 Gundams. Already got RG Exia and Quant, HG Harute and Zabanya. Gotta get the rest before march maybe
You HAVE to review the Reborns Gundam next 🙏
So, I've had mine for well over 10 years now. I got the kit as soon as it became available. It's on a dusty shelf and it still holds up nicely. Of course, I never really played around with it. I just put it in a pose I liked and kept it like that. For 10+ years. When the MG and RG came around I played with those a bit more, but like the HG, I also kept them in single pose throughout their shelf life.
I think Mecha forgot about how much he liked the Shia QuanT and the Command QuanT, which are both based off this kit. It goes without saying if those two kits are good, the base kit would be good (uncolored plastic notwithstanding). Probably going to scoop this up, I've been meaning to replace my RG, and this looks like it would be much more forgiving and easier to get into more dynamic poses.
Its funny you mention the hg exia repair 2, because that was my second gunpla ive ever built, with the hg quanta being the third
Fun fact: the clear green plastics glow under blue lights. I had this kit for years but realised it recently
yes, there has been blue logo reprints. there was one released recently
Amazing review, I'm totally getting this Gundam! 🤩🚀
It's crazy how much better this has aged than the real grade version
I built mine a few years ago and it held up pretty nicely....that was before i moved...so poor QuanT crossed a bit of Atlantic in a box full of more Gunpla...i should check 😅
This kit is exquisite, aged like fine wine. Pretty amazing for its age
The one thing I got from building these 00 kits in hg the elbow joint overtime become loose
This was my first gunpla kit! Bought it when the movie came out in Oz!
I built this on Friday! Love it.
In addition:
the GN Drive on the shield can be connected to the GN Drive armed at the backpack unit, to somehow recreate 00 QAN [T]’s Quantum System Mode…
I have mine for about a year now and to this day it's still solid and one of my fav hg
Got one since it was released, and still holds up till now and I have the full saber addon on it too
Mine has held up well, even after all that I have put it through 😅 Its beautiful, strong and shines nicely with some panel lining and fluorescent paint for the gn drives
11:46 - 11:52
you should've asked Doug DeMuro to say "THIS!" for you lmao
This always reminds me of something... "Peace cannot be kept by force, it can be achieved by understanding" -Setsuna F. Seiei
That is the ending line quote from the 00 movie
@MatthewLoh-ru1mw yea right? I think I'm gonna watch it again 😅
@G_BarbaTOES yes. At the very end after Setsuna comes back to Earth and reunited with a now old woman Marina
HG 00 revolutionized the HG line. It was one of the first to implement high range of motions.
Man, making a whole high grade off of just three runners sounds like heaven...
Been waiting for this kit to get a review from him and now here it is
Old school. I remember building this kit years ago. It's probably one of the absolute best HG kits, imo. The 00 line is where HGs started improving hugely. I despise those movable hip sections. Almost all of the 00 kits had those and they make posing a littke more frustrating than it needs to be
the 00 Qan[T] actually has two versions, the unfinished Movie trailer design version and the final design version which is this kit is based off.
i really like the old pc joints on hg. It just makes hg more easy to modify
0:18 I just got a reprint of the 00 Quanta around October Bandai definitely reprinted it and removed the MSRP on the Old Barcode
One thing that needs to be checked with 00 kits is that a lot of the stickers were UV reactive, so it's probably worth checking if the GN drive ones were reactive there
I'm noticing that the 00 Qan[T] has more consistent ratings than the other setsuna suits lol
one of the few kits that i actually bought the accessory for because I was so impressed by it's design. That and it just looks weird without the second wing IMO
I switched the gn drives to blue (stole it from my shia qant) and ngl they look pretty sick, since they do glow under blacklight as well. Initially had a custom planned where the main weapons would be the limited promo caletvwlch feder from HLJ but to this day, I still haven't begun lol
Owner of an oldie QanT here. I will say when it comes to the test of time the weakest part of this kit is definitely the polycaps. The shoulder ones tend to crack while the ball ones do come lose now and again. Another problem is definitely the clear parts, I've lost the ones by the wrists and the head jewel. It's still a favorite of mine, and the Command QanT definitely proves its still a solid kit sans the ageing polycap problem (one way to circumvent the shoulder ones at least is to transplant with the solid plastic versions you can get from 30MM kits like the Alto). I plan on getting a new one eventually (cuz younger me had the brilliant idea of using nail clippers and scissors back then and lets just say my handiwork wasn't the best) cuz I do like this plastic robot (Tho I do wish they'd use more solid plastic than that rubbery stuff they use for the bits).
I actually got this kit awhile back and I love it 😊
I would love to see your review on old Seed kit like Saviour, Providence and Legend..
as someone w 00 seven sword/G, the weird thing about this line is how wobbly the gundam is when it stands up. it's not loose (yet?), jus like to bend in weird angles everywhr LOL
What a nice review for Blue Reborns Gundam.
one of my first HG kit, nice
The kits from 00 second season becoming the rare kits now..some guys selling those with highly price
I've seen a lot of blue-logo OO kits at my LHS but not that particular one. Probably has been re-printed though.
Overtime it will loose too when holding the big sword. But its one of the best old HG kit.
I had one when I was 18, and yes, it was a cool, solid kit and didn't take much time to build. But for me Shia OO Qan(t) is my personal favorite. It's based on the regular OO Qan(t), but has cute cat ears, it's more green and white so it's a cool color, and yes, improvements to the sword. But for me, two of them are really cool kits.
Shia sucks. Don't have combining bits like Qant do
I need you to re-review the Gundam 00 Shia Qan [T] man would be great a video
ive wated so many years for you to do this review 😭😭😭
No. We’re all a Gundam
We. Are. Gundam.
WE ARE GUNDAM🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We are gundam
My favorite base hg getting a review
Fun fact, this kit was my VERY first model kit I ever made. I didn't have the proper tool and stuff so I made the VERY dumb decision of using wire cutters. I still have the poor thing on my shelf. I hope I'll soon be good enough to fix up the poor thing and make him look amazing someday.
IIRC you did a review of the Shia Quanta years ago. Since that one uses the Quanta as a base, what do you think about that kit now?
Crazy to think modern kits like the Schwarzette also come in only 3 runners just like this but manage to do so much more. I love technology.
Edit: Absolutely SEETHING at the fact that this has a much better ab crunch than the RG 😭
Bro actually is having a 5 gundam review streak
Can you do a series about old gundam? Kinda like Sazabi ver Ka 10 years after :))
If you ever managed to track down the good ol' HG Gundam AGE-1 Normal, please for your sake build it and admire how much of modern HG engineering you can find in that kit. Seriously, 00 may have began the more widespread usages of those joints, but AGE absolutely made it what it is now. That kit at certain points almost just feels like a sturdy action figure than a model kit.
Sucks that they arent re-releasing the HG, i would definitely want the HG for this
The RG while oldschool is really nice looking maybe pick that up instead. Just think about getting waterslides as some of the big white stickers that ago on the blue armor parts don't hold on that well.
pretty sure they restocked all the 00 movie kits a couple months ago, just got a quanta a few weeks ago from it blue logo and all
Its restocked on USA gundam store if you want it
@@silentfox9359 I will say for this that the old RG gundam frame absolutely does not hold up. I got mine ~4 years ago and it is extremely loose. If you take good care of it then yes it should last longer, but I really can't vouch for it.
they did this year
Love the daily upload!
the parts on the shield become loose overtime (at least for my copy) idk if others experienced the same thing
Thanks for going retro and doing this review, Mecha! I recently watched 00 for the first time and absolutely loved its story and designs. I wasn’t sure about the HG Qant, but the review sold me on it.
Btw it’s funny that even Bandai admitted error with the GN stickers for this, since the Command Qant has a much brighter tone, even with the overall darker tone of that kit.
Hip polycap broke after 6 months on mine just by staying in 1 pose :D
dude, i was about to build my hg qan t,
coincidence haha
dang mecha your uploading daily🔥🔥
Man I can't believe it's already 15 years...
Heh, I knew you'd choose that iconic line from Setsuna. However, he didn't exactly BECOME a "Gundam", just an ELS/human hybrid
I would die for a remastered version
If you haven’t done one yet can you do heavyarms custom build ew? I just got one and afraid to ruin it
It would be nice to see the HG 00 getting a "Revive" re-release. But for the time being, if you want a 1/144 scale version, you always have the choice to purchase the RG.
@xxnike0629xx and it would be nice if you go back in building a kit for real again
@xxnike0629xx instead of you doing your usual MO such as ...
@xxnike0629xx spamming WISHLISTS, hoarding BOXES ...
@xxnike0629xx firing some anti-UC, Turn A, or G-Reco cheap shots ...
@xxnike0629xx firing cheap shots against UC, Turn A, and G-Reco ...
Such a cool and overpowered kit. A time traveling Gundam
Most busted and crazy Gundam I've seen
Not Time-Travelling, Deep-Space Travelling.
quanta got them fashion model legs 😂
there is infact a blue logo reprint of it i have one
the RG is the best deal for me, getting it and it really good kits.
Yes this was reprinted recently and that's when I got one. Mine had the blue logo
When kits get reprinted, do they do changes or is it just a literal re-release all with same runners and kit design?
@RaiOkami literally just a re-release. No changes to the kit at all
00:13 There is I built one.
I've been waiting for this, HG strike freedom next please
at Malaysia, here, 00,build fighters/divers,ibo is EXPENSIVE AS HELL as hg but the price, MORE EXPENSIVE THAN Premium Bandai/MG😭😭
Bruh, where the hell do you buy Gunpla being that expensive. I remember Aerial around RM60 but not to the point more expensive than a MG
Flying to Malaysia next week. Any idea where I can get Gundam in Putrajaya?
**laughs in Brazilian poverty**
@@MathSouza1999 * laughs in taxadd *
@@redoredo107not exactly in Putrajaya but you can try Gamers Arena in KL.. their price is around standard retail
Got this kit years ago and still holds up. Forgot to mention the GN bits and sword lights up on blue light. Still one of my favorite Gundam.
When will you review the HG Gundam 00 Raiser with GN Sword III?
You forgot one thing about the bits. Two of the bits can actually become two little knives
Please review Destiny Gundam Spec 2 with Zeus Silhouette next
Can you review the hg amazing strike freedom
Will Bandai produce Perfect Grade QanT...?
What about Shia's version? Anyone seeing reprints of it recently?
can someone explain why the gn condenser sticker aren't foiled for any of the main 00 Gundam but the enemy Gundam have foiled stickers for theirs?
You know, idk. I hadn't ever noticed that until I read your comment. I think it's because the main gundams have original GN drives while everything else has the gn drive tau
@@douggoins2960 but I can't see a valid reason for the stickers not to be foiled
@@williehawkinsii4845 me either other than what I just commented. That's the only thing I can think of
hey! finally made it to the end card :D
Welcome! Apologies on the wait!
@MechaGaikotsu no need to apologize friendo. Glad I can support somehow
My favorite Kit out of this line is the harute 💀
Saying this before I see the end: “Hope this’ll turn out better than the Exia”
Edit: It has
Which is better? This or the RG??
RG
