      Sir I hope you do not think me being disrespectful or rude, but I feel the need to ask you a question. I have noticed there seem to be a quickly growing number of Gundarium grade kits. Are you worried that maybe your standards are falling? Once more I mean no disrespect, I'm just genuinely curious.

      @vayalond7203 10 месяцев назад +9

      Yeah, that's even the main thing in IBO designs: all Gundams have the same Frame, so selling MG at the MG price who all share the same inner Frame so no need of new mold or anyhting, using the exact same even in color for like 2-3 wholes runners for a possible 72 differents kits who looks gorgeous, are fan favorites too would have been easy profits

      There's still hope something new will come out at least next year, a movie version of Urdr Hunt (with hopefully a lot of new scenes to fill the gaps after the game went EoS) is in the works as we speak. Many HG kits are also suspiciously being massively restocked in August and September this year in Japan too...

    Here's what I love more about the kit. The inner frame works so well because all the Gundams in Iron-Blooded Orphans used the same inner frame to build the mobile suit.
    Once that was done, they individualized each one into the Gundams we know while keeping the inner frame the same between them. It's why Guison and Barbatos were able to upgrade as they did.
    Evolve and adapt. And since there were 72 Gundam Frames built during the Calamity War, and how many we say in the anime, more are coming in the future.

    Lupus and Lupus Rex wouldn't probably be PBandai if decided to drop those versions. What i think would be P-Bandai is Barbatos with all the parts to make all forms from first launch to 6th Form. Would've been nice if the Full Mechanics parts of shwalbe graze and standard graze can be equipped with the MG to complete the variants (except the 6th Form) cause i doubt they'll make an MG version of those.
    We'll probably see an MG of:
    Barbatos Lupus
    Barbatos Lupus Rex
    Bael
    Kimaris Vidar or an option to convert to Pbandai Vidar
    Gusion Rebake Full City

I go for mainly well articulated and cool looking stuff and due to that I bought the MG red frame astray kai which I absolutely love and it was due to your review on it. Now this is the only 2nd one that I find to be really cool and its very well articulated. You're gonna make me by my second gunpla kit and it would be this one.

    I stopped building a few years ago before IBO kits started coming out, but I always watch your reviews waiting for that one kit that sparks my interest. This is that kit. After seeing your review and a speed build, i have to have this. The build looks amazing and intuitive and I love the design, plus it's the only Gundam series I've watched all of since G Gundam when I was in high school all those years ago. Thank you for your reviews. I've lived vicariously through you for so many years. Nerve damage had stopped me, but I recently got one of the Flame Toys Transformers models and it didn't hurt to work on. I've missed Gunpla, but MG Barbatos, here I come.

    Word of advice when building. If the shoulder or feet get white marks (warping) soak the pieces in hot water so you soften the plastic and bend it back. Then soak it in cold ice water to set the piece back in place (go further if u want it to be tighter)

  • @StrikeNoir105E
    @StrikeNoir105E 5 лет назад +7

    The IBO Gundams were designed with the premise that they use a single, common frame, both in lore and on the model kits. Having the MG Gundam Frame set up means they can pump out whatever they want faster in the future, from the Gusion Rebake, to the Kimaris, to the Vidar, to the Bael, to the Flauros, etc.
    Also missed a couple of articulation points for the MG Barbatos here: the upper cockpit hatch actually slides forward for access, much like in the show, and the wrist has a third point of articulation that allows it to flex forward and backward (aka ulnar and radial flexion for the anatomically correct minded) that you don't see from many kits without the use of a ball joint. You even show off the latter movement in the final standing pose with the right hand, yet never mention it in the articulation review.

    • @zeigald
      @zeigald 5 лет назад

      It's a pretty common issue with most of the reviewers regarding the MG Barbatos; no one seems to mention the lateral wrist bend.

    • @AbsoluteMongoloid
      @AbsoluteMongoloid 5 лет назад

      Now that you mention it, wouldn't a ball joint in the waist be worse for Flauros' transformation? Bandai might've made a better choice in that regard.

    • @StrikeNoir105E
      @StrikeNoir105E 5 лет назад

      @@AbsoluteMongoloid A noticeable trend in Bandai's recent gunpla is that for more recent advanced grades (i.e. RG's and MG's), they tend to avoid using ball joints as much as possible, only leaving them in a couple of places like say the wrist or the neck, and even then they're finding ways to eradicate them altogether, as can be seen with the MG Barbatos. You only ever see major ball joints in High Grades nowadays.
