*Perfect Strike Freedom Rogue, 00 Desert QanT* and *Not Amazing Barbatos Lupus* from Build Metaverse anime is a homage to Gundam Breaker Battlogue gunpla such as *Perfect Strike Freedom, 00 Command QanT* and *Barbataurus*
And that’s why Bandai releasing more kits on P-Bandai in order to prevent financial loss. They know people will wait until retail lower the price to buy retail kits.
Fun fact: The winged combined form (Dai-ku-keitai/Crimson Form) uses 紅 (crimson) kanji that reads "ku", which is homophonic to 九 (nine). Same with its clawed form (Dai-juu-keitai/Beast Form) which uses 獣 (Beast) to 十 (Ten). Makes sense if you count Lupus and Lupus Rex as Barbatos' 7th and 8th form respectively.
I like how you showed us the really cool joint pen and then forgot to do a side by side comparison by tightening one side and leaving the other or just tightening the whole thing so it wouldn't be a headache later
The backpack combining with the mace feels like an upscaled version of those "combos" you can do with SD EX-Standard kits. Speaking of SD I will scream if we end up with Lupus in MGSD and not MG because holy crap MG Barbatos was back in 2019, 5 years and still no other MG IBO Gundam.
making MGs is so anathema to Bandai at this point that we've gotten just 2 new ones in as many years. It's Zeta VerKa, and Narrative. All the others have been either updates ie Sinanju Stein, or PBandai offerings like F90 and its accoutrements. It's sad to see the line go fallow like this, but HG and RG make Bandai so much money that I guess they just don't care. At least with the Pbandai MG exclusives like the F90 it feels like there's a ton of love and care put into the design, it just sucks its relegated to such an annoying-to-get product line.
I am picking this up, this is one of my favorite Baratos forms. I don't care that the model isn't great. I plan to paint it anyway so its not a huge issue.

Little builders note what works well for stiffening up those handholds with the cylindrical handles toilet paper I used it in my Demi trainers hand with a knife, hold onto it perfectly toilet paper it can be easily removed, and it doesn’t require any glue of any kind works wonders
I do love the cheeky references between the iron blooded orphan name, One of the form names is literally a cheeky version of what 1 of Barbatos's forms is and that the new backpack is basically a cute small version of the mobile armor monster that was in the actual anime. However the huge backpack mixed in with the gundam frame still being a problem even after all these years later really make it feel like that it's more better as a statue rather than an actual playable kit just like the metallic version which I don't know which is worse. But at least you get to build the original Barbatos lupus but in cool red colors so that's a plus.
Say what you will about GBM, they really do have intresting remakes of established Gundams. One of the many reasons why I am patiently waiting for GB4.
I absolutely loved this kit. Hit the inner frame with some metallic black gundam markers and it seemed to stiffen it up a lil bit. Might even top coat it too. Looks amazing on the shelf but not a play kit whatsoever. I just keep it in the dai-jyu form. Looks good next to my other barbatos variants
In my years of building, my biggest, most frustrating experience has been when I started building a few of the ibo kits. The waist. It's the bane of the line. Ironically both Of the astaroths have been my favorites and have not given me those issues. And slowly I've steered away from ibo kits. Now, I've seen the customs and things done to fix the issues and those I appreciate in that extra effort. I expected this red to be darker btw
Tbh I feel like you should have topcoated the frame before putting it together, regardless of the backlog, and tightened up the new parts. While I get you need to get content out and clear space up for new kits, putting in extra effort makes life so much easier in the long run since it prevents almost every single issue you’re having with yours
Gotta love when a MS completely captivates you when it does everything in it's power to irritate you lmao. Didn't seem like the joint-strengthing pen did much in this case?
To fix the looseness of ibo kits you should thicken the inside of the polycaps rather than thickening the ball joints... Thickening the ball joints will just stretch out the polycaps and make it loose again in the future
I'm really a big fan of the DSPIAE joint strengthening pen. I always use it for any joint at all that seems a bit loose and I love it. Most useful tool other than my nipper and hobby knife in my opinion.
Hell yeah, the Dspiae Joint Strengthening Pen is now a staple here in the Phillipines. MechaGaikotsu could have made a video testing it in most of his IBO collection but backlog
The backpack made me think of the HGBD:R Aun Rize armour initially. Mostly the claw arms gimmick. Might be fun to slap one of those on a normal Barbie-Lu... 🤣
this Meijin Kawaguchi custom of the Barbatos implies that instead of just salvaging the Hashmal's tail they straight up repurpose the entire body and turn it into a drone, the Hashmal became the Barbatos' b*tch, lol.
Sadly i'm not a fan of the red main color, especially with the unchanged navy and yellow parts. But i'm still tempted to get this kit just for the new devil-looking shoulder armor and cool new v-fin to kitbash all of barbatoses variants
I agree with the flimsiness of barbies but this barbies awesome and i think it's good for custom painting . My first gundam sd 00 diver and 2 other gundam after my 2nd build (mg providence) was brave for 2nd ever gundam build but i definitely wasn't painting that, my 3rd build was the white and grey zaku 2 , i painted it with matt khaki and weathered it. I think it looks good was proud of myself as id only just started to learn how to airbrush
I'm glad I pick up narrative c packs MG over this one, initially I want this amazing barbatos but it takes a long time to release. I've dealth with loose joint issues and it would be a disaster to have that with a kit that have so many weapon option.
I don't care that much if the Core lupus is floppy, I just want the parts on this one to mod other kits into a Guren Facsimile. Yeah, we have the Seiten kit from last year, but I have a minor fixation of figuring out proper successor machines to Gode Geass' best Knightmare that ISN'T the absolute trashfire that is the type special. Something that appropriately fits with the Wing Zero Rebellion.
As I remember you can swap the cover of the option set hands, but what i don´t know is if those fit well or loose on lupus... I ordered three sets so I hope it fit
The one and only thing i don't care for on this kit is the lil amount or even shade of blue or where its all centrally placed. Dont quite work with all the red.
Im getting on to my supplier lol i like the back pack and extra parts to kitbash with the white barbies. I think i have an addiction obsession with plastic i build other scale models and build and paint miniatures too
This really makes me feel for the character in the show who's supposed to have actually built this custom. Imagine the blood, sweat, and tears that had to go into building his dream Barbatos on top of such an awfully-designed kit! Good thing he only has to use it in the freaking metaverse, otherwise it'd be falling apart in the middle of the battlefield.
Tbh... I can fix this thing. It might sound sacriligious, but I sometimes topcoat both sides of the runners with ibo kits to compensate for their looseness. And that includes polycaps. It works suprisingly well, however there are some parts that shouldn't be topcoated under any circumstance. Parts such as the drum-style leg joints or lupus rexes shoulders and hands. Granted, some parts will become nigh-impossible to take apart again. However it is so worth it.
"never look so demonic" suddenly everybody forgot barbataurus..
And the one made by LabZero
Amazing Barbataurus
Bandai probably released this and the brown Command Qant just to recoop their loss with the metaverse deal.
Did they say they give up?

16:41 TBF, Barbatos is known for using two-handed weapons
u forgot the 'using two-handed weapons, single handedly'
Now that "Devil of Tekkadan" title seems more fitting. Dope model though. Definitely adding it to my shelf at some point.
I'm tempted to buy this just to do a joke build by adding some Lupus Rex parts, just so I can name it:
Devil of Bikini Bottom: Crabatos Lobster Rex
@@First-Name_Last-Name Crabatos Lobster Rex is wild 😂
@@First-Name_Last-Name Now I kinda want to see that brought to life lmao
Now this is literally "Devil of Tekkadan".

well, you'll be happy to know that we're getting the Vidar as an MG. So, MGIBO isn't dead, likely was just delayed because of the 'Rona.
I am picking this up, this is one of my favorite Baratos forms. I don't care that the model isn't great. I plan to paint it anyway so its not a huge issue.
Some dark drey panels lining and a nice satin top coat to knock down some of the texture issues with the red plastic and it'll look amazing.
That looks amazingly posable and the design is awesome
For those who dont know this is actually the retail release of the metallic red ver from the idol CD set
Looks cool! Meijin kits always has that "look" in them..
thank god this one came as a regular release. the first edition of it came with a cd or something
Yeah, the metal build...

Such a blast from the past to see you building good ood Lupus again
Amazing mace, amazing backpack. Amazing model!
Bro fainted as soon as he’s in the middle of his Iron Flower brothers 😂
I’m digging this design. The backpack makes all the difference.
I love barbatos more than i love life
Same. The HG, MG, and MGSD are all just sublime builds.
Get help
That's either bad or good
me, too. But this one looks exceptionally bad and unrefined so.. I will pass.
Love that opening frame! And quite the GW paint collection you have going there.
Say what you will about GBM, they really do have intresting remakes of established Gundams.
One of the many reasons why I am patiently waiting for GB4.
AWESOME! I think we got ours from HLJ at the same time. Anyway I'm excited to build mine!
Are leftover parts meant to used as replacement parts or to mix and match with leftover part's from other kits?
“Never looked so demonic”
Dude forgot its actually the name of a demon.

6:50 No need to use balancer for erasing the marker, just use q-tip with isopropyl alcohol.
I dunno why but the barbatauros is still my favourite variant of barbatos
Because it's awesome 😎😎😎
Been waiting for this one! 🔥
The glue pen idea is fantastic. Probably last forever considering how little you need per joint.
I have been wanting this for a while when it got shown, i hope it’s not to much in my local hobby store!
In my years of building, my biggest, most frustrating experience has been when I started building a few of the ibo kits.

I would love to see someone do a crazy paintjob in this kit!

Meijin Kawaguchi sure loves making Birb-Boosters on Amazing Barbatos Lupus and Exia Dark Matter. 🦅
And the Hi Nu Vrabe
@@MaftyNavueErin105 yer right! He has 2 bird types on his Vrabe. 😁😁
I picked that kit up before release XD It was the Metallic version
🔥This Barbatos model is wickedly amazing! 🤩
Bro said it is the annoying kit but the real grade justice💀💀
Finaly the real Barbatos post Hashmal
Now this is the Barbatos we need. It’s red and menacing like a real DEMON
I'm really a big fan of the DSPIAE joint strengthening pen. I always use it for any joint at all that seems a bit loose and I love it. Most useful tool other than my nipper and hobby knife in my opinion.
Talk about creative Barbatos combining with Hashmal is genius. If only mikazuki would have had Hashmal by his side in IBO so he can defeat Rustal 😔.
Hell yeah, the Dspiae Joint Strengthening Pen is now a staple here in the Phillipines. MechaGaikotsu could have made a video testing it in most of his IBO collection but backlog
I cant wait to get this kit! Barbatos is one of my faves, no matter which form
Always love Meijin build
this is great, but I know we’re all fiending for the rg gundam 2.0 video😂😩
I have been watching these for years, can Bandai get this man a job already
I'm definitely getting it, before it's sold out!
The backpack made me think of the HGBD:R Aun Rize armour initially. Mostly the claw arms gimmick. Might be fun to slap one of those on a normal Barbie-Lu... 🤣

You can check the date on the runner
tbh youre one of the only channels i have notifications on for
I wonder if the poly caps would work well if I 3D print them instead of
mobile armour form 3: Power Rangers finisher cannon
Sadly i'm not a fan of the red main color, especially with the unchanged navy and yellow parts. But i'm still tempted to get this kit just for the new devil-looking shoulder armor and cool new v-fin to kitbash all of barbatoses variants

Barbataurus + amazing barbatos lupus
Gotta merge all the fall apart pieces
Oh I have that strengthening pen. Saved me a lot with bad joins and loose parts especially with bootlegs.
this is always what form I figured IBO would make if they added more of the mobile armor to barbatos
I'm glad I pick up narrative c packs MG over this one, initially I want this amazing barbatos but it takes a long time to release. I've dealth with loose joint issues and it would be a disaster to have that with a kit that have so many weapon option.
Love that paint rack
At the beginning, I thought Operation Builder was over. But you mentioned the backlog somewhere near the end. Unsurprisingly 😂
Now this beg a real question:Are the backpack compatible with the original lupus ? Cause i definitely want some painting and put this on regular lupus
My backlog you'd have to nuke from orbit, It'd be the only way to be sure. 😂
I LOVE red kits. I LOVE Barbatos. I want one right now.
I don't care that much if the Core lupus is floppy, I just want the parts on this one to mod other kits into a Guren Facsimile.

I love the desingn and the backpack, but i alredy have many red gundams and like vriety
The coloura does look AMAZING
Wuestion how do you keep your gunpla kits so clean in the shelf while mine its getting dust as always
Have you gotten your hands on the RX-78-2 2.0?
As I remember you can swap the cover of the option set hands, but what i don´t know is if those fit well or loose on lupus...
I ordered three sets so I hope it fit
Missed the chance to have the title be: "Barbatos Has Never Looked So Amazing"
If you've ever wondered what Barbatos would look like if he was inspired by a Metroid Space Pirate then Tenth Form is for you !
18:34 AKA: MINI HASHMAL.
Can you do a review of the RG RX-78 2.0? I'd love to see what bandai has to offer with the 2.0
The one and only thing i don't care for on this kit is the lil amount or even shade of blue or where its all centrally placed. Dont quite work with all the red.
Amazing Mace?
how sweet the sound
Dildo
Ibo seems to be designed to topcoat all including joints.
Wait. It's based off of Lupus and not Lupus Rex. Im so sold. Def be picking it up Thursday when I'm at the Gundam Base Tour
Im getting on to my supplier lol i like the back pack and extra parts to kitbash with the white barbies. I think i have an addiction obsession with plastic i build other scale models and build and paint miniatures too
I'll be for the next custom version of Barbatos Lupus Rex
My first Kit was Lupus and my Forth was Lupus Rex so I might get this and 4th form
The claws make it look like a digimon.
Very nice and I would like to get it. However, I avoid the kits with large backpacks. At least this one can be detached.
This really makes me feel for the character in the show who's supposed to have actually built this custom. Imagine the blood, sweat, and tears that had to go into building his dream Barbatos on top of such an awfully-designed kit! Good thing he only has to use it in the freaking metaverse, otherwise it'd be falling apart in the middle of the battlefield.
what is the pen used at 7:09?
the main weapon looks like a giant plug to me and i dont like it but others really cool like the tiny hashmal on the back
Mecha Gaikotsu try not to completely fucking butcher IBO Gundam names challenge (impossible)
Tbh... I can fix this thing.

Amazing Booster is basically a mini Hashmal
This gives major ruby weapon vibes ❤️
Mecha have you heard of the mg unicorn crystal version
I will build this very soon.
Definitely getting this one
