#gunpla
Hey, Update! I've made a Volume 2 to this video, Check it out here!
ruclips.net/video/C25WIDt_Jqc/видео.html
30 minute missions is the hg finebuild system in everything but name
@@bagel_guy9495 the fine build system as introduced in 30 minute missions first, but they do use the same engineering.
@@Payinku it was in the Leo first
@@bagel_guy9495 Oh right, the leo, I forgot that released before 30mm.
Started with entry grade rx 78 - 2..after watching this video, i'm glad i choose the right one 😁
Nice after entry grade which ones did u built next
And any tools u bought for gunpla
Nice.
Its called entry grade for a reason.
Try to build more 👍
@@1996starter that was my 1st one to and the next one i bought was the hg astray red frame inversion but that one was really hard
MG wing (the angel one I wasn’t into the show it just looked cool!) was my first kit. Dunno if it was the right thing to do but was one of my favourite mobile suits at the time
Followed VERY quickly by a bootleg MG Epyon where the heat whip thing was orange as well as the normal colour
I'd say the 2nd best starter kit is the revive Guncannon since it also requires no stickers and is very simple to build.
I only just built that kit, and tbh I agree, I'll most likely make an updated list sometime this year.
Dang I should’ve got that kit for my first gunpla because the first time I got a model kit I was 6 and I sucked at the stickers
I personally would recommend the char hg zaku II Revive. its fairly simple. only requires 1 sticker for the eye and it is something that goes well with the RX-78-2 that I see the majority of people have.
so I was watching this video after finishing up my first gundam.
gotta say 2 was a surprise.
I just bought that one because it was on sale
Got my first gunpla today as a gift from a friend. It was number one on this list lol how lucky
7:23 I just built that figure and I absolutely loved it, but the down side is that there was no blade parts for the beam saber. But overall it’s a good model kit to get. Next time I’m going to try to get the revived.
I believe the top 3 gundam series in japan are
1- universal century (of course)
2- seed (why)
3- wing
I loved the list, but i do have a critique about the narration. The pacing is so strange.
"It's good because (2 seconds of pause) blah blah"
"This is.... (Again pause) a good kit"
This happens with every sentence.
Maybe he is just taking a long breath
Lol, give the man a break...
Not everyone can speak as fast as Mecha Gaikotsu lol
@@HarpaxA watch his more recent videos. He took the criticism and worked on it, the pacing is so so so much better. Kudos for him not taking my judgement as something negative
I'm going with the 1/144 RG Wing Gundam EW because it looks amazing and Gundam Wing was the first series I intended to watch... that is until I saw the 1/144 HGUC Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Platoon RX-79 Ez-8 which just appealled to me and the series is only 11 episodes and, from what I can gather, won't spoil anything from the other series if I watch it first so I'm ordering both together from Amazon Japan in the new year and saving over £10 in individual shipping costs! Oh and having already built a Moderoid Shinkalion E3 Tsubasa I know what to expect from the build but I'm just about to build the 800 Tsubame version, which is going to be a nightmare with all the tiny stickers I have to place but both these will look great stood next to the Gundam kits... eventually!
Honorable mention to the hg 00 great gundam and hg 00 diver gundam, for fairly old models they are very straight forward and they look great with little to no effort
Thank you for the explanation, you have gained a new subscriber!
MG Wing Gundam would be perfect for beginner's.
I’m so excited! I cant wait to start building Gundams
A fellow scalemodeler here. Thanks for the intro going to build one look like fun.
how did you know the exact video I came from lmaooo
I'm gunna be honest, for my first gunpla kit I jumped straight into the deep end and made the 'PG 1/60 RX-0 Unicorn Gundam' with the LED unit. But before that I did make four '1/72 Liger Zero' kits (each of the armor conversions).
The reason I jumped right into a perfect grade kit was, well besides the Unicorn being an awesome looking kit, I don't overly like small kits. I like large, complex and mechanical looking kits, which is why I'm also looking at the 'PG Perfect Strike Gundam' and a 'PG Astray Red Frame'.
Also any recommendations along the line of (complex and mechanical, and preferably PG) would be very much appreciated.
Great list but I have a problem with the number 9(it has a few problems with his legs and skirts parts(the HG origins Zaku 2 would be a better alternative) and number 3 is know that their articulations are prone to break or get loose. Personally I wouldn't recommend it(unless Bandai fix it properly) also the number 1 is a great choice BUT the EG RX-78 suffers a similar problem as number 3 (his leg articulation is prone to break or get loose) the others EG are fine.
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Get a kit that looks sick to you, the first one I'm bulding is the RG Sazabi, I've got the RG Nu sitting next to me in the box, and the MG Barbatos on the way.
Im a very new gunpla beginner so im gonna choose either number 8, number 7 or even number 1.
my first gunpla was not a gundam but a Valyrie from macross a kit so old that was like the first grade kits in monochromatic plastic you have to paint but in that years you had to glue the kits too
I abandoned the robot model kits for a long time to become a wargame miniatures and WW2 planes builder (with a love for Luftwaffe)
I returned to robot model kits with MazingerZ infinity from bandai and my first gunpla was the rx-78-2 origin (not the most easy for beginners kit but having decades of modelling behind for me it was quite simple)
Now after 2 years i own already about 20 gunplas all from the OYW period that is the part i like the most in Gundam mechdesign
It's always nice to hear people returning to hobbies, or hobby subsection in this case, and you're definitely eating good with oyw suits, there's such a large selection
I just built my first Gundam, the Entry Grade rx-78 American type. $10 target exclusive and it was rather quite fun!
The entry Grade is a nice kit, I wish the American type wasn't exclusive to the US, I wouldn't mind having one myself.
Also if you're wondering what you'll need to build other kits that require tools I have a video on the subject:
ruclips.net/video/NPXTFb_Qb6A/видео.html
I started with MG based limited freedom ver.2.0 silver coating
After playing warhammer for 20 years I have decided to build a zaku
my first kit was RG 00 QanT. even tho i didnt have nippers yet then i think i did a good job removing them from the runners as RGs have smaller gates and plastic quality is generally higher and easier to cut even with a regular box cutter
I bought strike noir and aile strike recently. Do you think the aile strike has better quality plastic? (Aile strike released 2014 vs noir 2006)
same, the RG 00 QanT is also my first gundam! I love it
This video make me clear tht I need to get HGUC RX-78-2 Revive. I at first thinking of getting an IBO kit but I can't found any available on my local store & I don't want to buy an oversea shipping product.
Also I'm thinking of getting Zaku 2 as my first MG as well. Amazing video, hope your voice is a little bit louder & more energetic.
The RX-78 can be found at Target in the US
Hobby Lobby also has a few kits
Glad it could help.
And honestly I wish I could redo the audio, I'm not really happy with it these days.
So those are My recommendations for People's first Gunpla, But what are yours? let me know.
for me its HGAC Zero Wing
haha . . . . so I got a real grade because I did NO research and now I am confident that I will screw it up
@@tangernine3057 if you have good tools I’m sure you can do it :D
@@tangernine3057 as long as you take your time and are gentle with it I'm certain you'll do fine.
High grade Heavyarms
My first kit was Crossbone Gundam Maoh.
I love the kit a lot and it also reminds me of Sans from Undertale on the chest.
I havent done gunpla since i was a kid. I got a turn a and chars zaku HG kits. They were cheap so giving them a shot
Not necessarily a suggestion, but I had a great time with the high grade phenex as my first gunpla
This is a good list
My first gunpla were the rg astray red frame and the mg sniper
Im getting the lupus for my birthday in a few days! This is my first kit.
yay ! my birthday is in a few days too 😙😙
Thinking about getting the hg barbatos or the eg rx-78-2 for my first one, kinda leaning more towards the barbatos because I want at least a little of a challenge (relative to a newcomer) for my first one
the Barbatos would definitely be more of a challenge than the eg, just keep in mind you're going to want a few basic tools for it as well, something to cut the parts off the runners(either proper nippers, wire cutters, a nail clipper if you're desperate) as well as a blade to clean off the nubs(either a hobby knife or utility knife, something with a sharp, straight edge), you can worry about anything more advanced than that after you know if the hobby's your thing.
I started with the alex and later got the psycho then the rx78-2 and it was crazy easy compared to the others
i recommend the hguc rx-178. good list but i wouldn’t count a 30mm as gunpla.
Yeah, 30mm doesn't technically count, but it's a good introduction to gunpla, which is why I decided to allow it.
This kit is....second on the list AND well it's.....pretty good BUT AS YOU CAN SEE *breaths air*....it comes at a good price.
Lmao
His intonation is odd
Im a beginner and just got my second the astray red frame inversion high grade and it was really hard
My first ever gunpla was a Master Grade unicorn Gundam let’s just say I’m glad I had a lot of time on my hand
I'm thinking of buying it too. I wanted more time building. I'm a beginner ( build only cheap brand hg gundam) and this will be my first bandai gundam with all the correct tools. Do you think it suits beginner like me?
@@saizan5875 Building it was a bit tedious considering the fact that you are basically building two gundams in one. As long as you are prepared to spend the time building and sanding and what not I'd say go for it. At the end of the day it's all about what gundam looks the best to you and how much effort you want to put into it. I'm sure you'll be able to build it quicker than me considering you have some experience.
What is the music playing in the video? It's so cool! Btw I love your videos keep it up ♥️
the srw3 version of Silent Voice, the 2nd ZZ gundam theme
my first gunpla was hgac wing gundam
I picked a high grade double X as my first. Literally just based on looks, no other reason. Wish me luck 😅
The double X is a cool suit, from a great standalone series too, good taste!
As long as you take your time and are careful I'm sure it will turn out great.
Started with rhe mg Gundam Unicorn Ova Version
Hg barbatos lupus was first kit..... it was really good....
Started with hg rx782
I started with portanova
My first kit is RG Sazabi, just because it looks really cool and very detailed
Is it hard to build RG gundam as first kit? I plan to buy a RG gundam too but to scare actually build it due to the sheer pressure of detail kit
@@doubleoz1 It took me maybe 10 or 11 Hours to build it (including the sticker), for me is not that hard, and i think it depends on the kit, for me RG Unicorn is more difficult because it has some part that can transform
@@Rinrin-ms3lp I see, I plan to build force impulse gundam tbh any personal tips & trick before starting it
@@doubleoz1 Ah yes, always check review before you buy for references because some RG have issue called "early RG syndrome" which is the part is really easy to fall of, there's no particular tips or trick (i'm not an expert), for RG you just need to panel lining it because it already super detailed even without sticker
Honestly the only RX-78-2 versions that aren't beginner-friendly are the RG and PG. And the huge one.
My first gundam is sd gundam Crossbone x1
Last year I was going to get the hg barbatos lupus as my first gundam. I did hours of work (2 dollars per job) to get it. It never came and the seller didn't give me back my money.☹
I started gunpla with barbatos lupus...well i want to buyy the next one but i don't know which one between uraven gundam and entry grade rx 78..?
well the Core II Gundam apparently has a loose torso connection, that said the core armor gimmick is fun, if you liked the lupus you might like the uraven more.
@@Payinku Gundam exia and 00 hg22 which of them is better?I am confused right now..help me 😞🤣
@@puteriyogurt1547 The 00 Definitely, it also has 2 fairly recent variants so you have some more readily available variety there
Lol my first gunpla was the HG Zeta. Was really frustrated but managed to finished and kinda sucked
ngl im building the gundam Zaku Master Modell and its so freaking frustrating to build especially the Shoulder pats are tortures to apply
If you don't like applying stickers i dont recommend the hg barbatos it has the most annoying stickers
Lupus was a bit hard but its a bit cool looking lol
I’m trying to decide between a hg gundam wing or a hg gundam death scythe
I'd probably recommend the deathscythe, but I don't think either is a bad kit.
Is the HGGTO RX-78-2 a good choice for a first gunpla?
It's a good kit, not sure if I'd recommend it as a first because of the parts count and price, but it's not really harder to build than any other high grade, so if you like how it looks over the other RX-78's go for it.
@@Payinku Ok thanks!
sucks! i started with unicorn banshee destroy mode. im in no mood to do the next one :(
I chose the wing gundam ew, I dunno if I chose a good beginner kit
I think I'm gonna buy MG or RG as my first gundam
I'm not sure I would recommend an rg because of how small the parts can be, but if you're up for the complexity an mg is a decent choice.
@@Payinku I built a LBX once and I think It's similar to HG so I want some things more challenging, also I'm new to this so I don't have the right kind of tools to perfect it, but I'll try my best
@@NguyenThanhNhut-jy6cz I think LBX is a lot simpler construction than most HGs actually, aside from the few kits they made that were called hyper function, which had full inner frames and were basically MGs in everything but name.
if you want something more complex an MG works, but you could also go with one of the more complex HGs like the moon gundam or one of the origin HGs, or if you want something a bit different the full mechanics kenbu from kyoukai senki is releasing in January, which will pretty much be an MG but has a very unique construction.
@@Payinku Would you recommend the Crossbone Gundam RG
Everyone I know who has one likes it, but it's pretty small, and as such has very small parts, so personally I wouldn't recommend it until you have at least nippers and a hobby knife as well as a handful of less fiddly kits built first.
I was looking online for a kit and HG kits are around €30 each. Is that normal or is that way overpriced? If it is overpriced should I just buy a MG kit for €50-70? There is one HG kit that is €20, the rx-78-2. Is that worth the €20?
I'm not really familiar with the European market, according to my euro friends an average hg should be around 15-20, so those prices are definitely high. though the mg's aren't as bad.
@@Payinku yeah cheers man. My main problem is the shipping. Initially the price isn't too bad when you see €13-20. But then you also have to account for the €8 shipping which ramps up the pricing quite a bit. It's probably because i have to buy them amazon France thanks to Brexit and the ONE shop in my country that sells kits has overpriced shipping and figures. It's weird that the MG ones are decently priced, granted it's will double what the Japanese pay but it's still pretty decent for what you're getting. I found a few more kits around €20 each so I'll have to see what the shipping is like if i buy in bulk
@@sponge260 i don’t know if rise of gunpla ships to the uk but you could take a look there they have Bandai kotobukya and cost a bit less than Amazon prices but it’s still better to order multiple kits at the same time
@@l-omega402 not in the UK but thanks
is the number 1 out yet? if so can someone link it to me.
The Entry Grade is out, where you can buy it depends on which country you live in.
Haro is from gundam unicorn
I don’t watch gundam but they look cool
Nice video! Do you have the links to buy them?
Well I'm not sponsored by anyone yet so, not in particular, sorry.
It depends entirely on where a person lives, I use Canadian gundam given that I'm Canadian, though they do have flatrate shipping to the US which is nice, USA gundam store is a good place to get kits in the US, and there's also hobby link japan which ships pretty much anywhere but you have to deal with the international shipping costs.
And theres other area specific online stores I'm sure exist, I just advise against Amazon since there's almost always a sizable upcharge on kits.
Hopefully that helps, and I do apologize for not having more direct links for buying them.
Started with Moon Gundam.
I like the moon gundam, it's a great kit,
though it is a bit on the expensive side Because of the action base.
@@Payinku All kits are expensive in Europe and then the shipping ads to the price.
@@zkc8 Get them from Amazon Japan then!
lol i had the rg oo quanta for my first kit lol
A real grade for your first kit?
How did that go for you?
Accully pretty well lol
though sadly the inner frame loosend up so i had to remove it from my self:((( though i do have the real grade sazabi and nu gundam....
o and did i mention that my second kit was a mg...
@@linusreviews dude, can u give me some tips on building rg 00q and how your hand on playing experience with it? Wondering to buy rg or mg one as my next collection😄
Ok...I'm Gonna buy bootleg now
Nice video but your speech pace is weird
HARO IS NUMBER 1
Gunplas are so exprnsive
They certainly can be, but depends what you get, there's a lot of kits that are around $10-15 that are nice.
My ass did fuckin hg Rx-78 no tools and yes I did grind the nibs with my damn nails

You should have cut out your breathing, not just muted it. It sounds like you just keep making odd pauses the whole time
I have only meet 2 people in my whole life who have watched Gundam and NO ONE knows about gunpla...
Wtf is with the cadence of your speech... you take a 2 second pause every sentence seemingly randomly.
I'm this close to deleting this video, I scripted it, and I'm apparently really bad at reading from a script, I wish I could just replace the audio since I'm not happy with it now, I don't normally sound like this.
@@Payinku don't delete it. The information is good it really helped me pick my first Gunpla guy. The voice over was just distracting.
