In regards to the hip joint, theres a mechanism to bring the hips further down, enabling mr.lupus to kick almost all the way to the forehead. Great for crouching poses.
The drop-down mechanism extends the range a little bit (about 30 degrees more or so), he can't crouch or kick all the way up to his head. But still, more than enough for a buffy and pointy gundam like Barbie.
as an adult male, I get strange looks when I casually mention my Metal Barbi has been shipped..
I saw the Barbie movie while wearing a Barbatos shirt
@@VaranTheGreat58lol
Barbatos is Barbatos. Always beautiful. Imagine if we had... oh...I don't know...A MASTER GRADE!
unbelievable that they didn't re-use the frame to make an mg for bael, vidar, lupus, etc. such a waste. it's a great foundation.
ngl i read this with his voice
@@jmc2830 I’m still holding out hope we get another IBO mg soon lol. I want a Vidar and Graze
I want a pg barbatos
@@jmc2830 they made a lupus rex
I'm still waiting for the MG Lupus and Lupus Rex. Hope they do that, and more of the IBO kits...
yeah, not like they couldn't just re-use alot from the mg barbatos frame. even vidar, bael and a few others that are pretty much the same with different top layer
They have that. It's literally the full mechanics 1/100. They're mg for all purposes tbh.
@@DiabolicNick in terms of detail though the full mechanics are essentially HG in 1/100. I still fully intend to get a full mechanic Rex dont get me wrong, but it would be so nice to see the detail and love they gave 4th form
@@MinhNguyenVN nothing new from bandai. Look at it this way, there is only one mg from wing gundam anime, the rest are from the manga and movie, 3 of which are p-bandai and 1 of them is extremely hard to find more so for a reasonable price. That says a lot right there. Outside of UC mg, only seed has been given the greater love and care by bandai.
Mg vidar when bandai?
To me the epicness of Barbatos Lupus is that it's condensed in about 5 minutes in the whole IBO storyline. He storms the battlefield and it's immediately full power against the legendary mobile armor Hashmal. Gets wrecked and is never seen again, only to come back as Lupus Rex.
That's the beauty of a rare jam.
I was really excited for this review…
That was when it came out forever ago. I’ve waited forever for this
List of Gundam things that Mecha simps over
GM/GM
Core Gundam
IBO Gundam frames
Mobile Haro
Especially the haro
XD
I freakin' love that 'Alaya-Vijnana' kinda effect on that model kit!
The price difference between Lupus and Rex is actually insane. Like $300+ for a figure slightly bigger than a high grade. I guess you are paying for quality and accessories though. I hope they make a Hashmal for this line.
Barbatos Lupus is the rightful owner of the Valkyrja Buster Sword and the Helmwige Reincar is just the sword's storage rack, lol.
for tightening loose joints on my stuff I usually use a light small amount of modpog mix water to seep into joints. But its risky if the figure has weak materials. Modpog is usually used to seal acrylic and paints, also adds protection layer to surface of toy paints. But it is safer to use clear acrylic with water.
"The Lupus is just so much more savage and regal-looking than the just savage looking Rex"
Ironic, since Rex means "King" which would imply that it should have more regality.
I somehow agree, especially with this particular version. The symmetry, red shoulders and non-over the top-ness really does make it look more... Graceful? Than the wild, beast-looking Rex.
Technically animals don't care about regality just pure strength so Rex being purely ferocious cements his place as the king
I was crazy lucky to get a preorder of this from an online store in my country at a really good price, and the figure does not disappoint in any regard!
I had the same issues with mine with the ball joint shoulders. You can pull them off, just be careful when doing so. I recommend using nail polish on both the socket and the ball to thicken them up, once you do that it 100% fixs it and tightens them while retaining its mobility.
I almost wonder what you would do if they make a mecha musume Barbatos figure. Although I think someone could swing it with 30 Minute Sisters parts (The tail from Option Parts 4, and the legs from Options Parts 3 might be a good start).
I also would like to know your thoughts on the upcoming MG effects parts for the MG Barbatos.
iirc there's a video of someone making barbatos mecha musume using megami device with hg barbatos parts
I built the 4th form MG, and then the full mechanics lupis Rex as my first kits. I even panel lined them after watching your videos. Man. This is my favorite form, so I’ve been kind of saving it. This kit….is gorgeous. Thanks for the video, I appreciate it.
0:41 that waist piston...
I've always preferred the old Lupus over LRex
Glad to see this design getting the MB treatment
im so happy that he still does barbatos videos, Barbatos is my favorite gundam FIRST PLACE
11:10 The Cursed Bald Barbatos
Baldbatos
I also love this version of Barbatos the most. IMO, this form perfected the Gundam. Lupus Rex may be an upgrade but to me, it doesn't feel like a Gundam anymore. I hope Bandai will release a MG Barbatos Lupus soon since this is a little expensive for me to get.
I honestly like the 1st form the best, looks like a run down old suit and I love the vibe of it
Besides the stupidly long side skirt armors and silver claws, I love this design. You are right, the Rex is designed to be an animal, not a gundam anymore. Lupus is the perfect balance of both elegancy and intimidation.
I have mix favorites with the Lupus and Lupus Rex.
With Lupus I prefer its head specially with that huge blue gem-like V-fin, shoulders and side skirts. While the Lupus Rex I prefer its arms with its yellow sharp claws and of course its back tail. As for the body and legs, they look almost the same
Really hope we do get a mg for the barbatos lupus cause it’s honestly one of my top three favorite gundams ever and my favorite in ibo of all time.
Lupus is so dope!
I'm so excited for this guy. Have him on pre-order from BBTS.
I was waiting for this for a long time. I asked for this too.❤️☺️👍
Just to add one thing. I had the same curiosity as you about taking out the arm, and after some research here on RUclips, I’m glad to inform you that it is possible 😊👍 anda oh my, it does look sexy!
this is definitely my favorite too the effect parts look amazing
Now I need an MG Barbatos Lupus with those effect parts
What a kit. Very nice!
This review makes me wanna paint and customize my hg.
That was great. I want a Gusion rebuke fullcity mg to show up
well, I was expecting the blue flames of the shoulders when he is battling the hashmal, the figure has the shoulder drop and the valkyria buster sword, why the figure don't have the flames effect parts?... well, time to do it myself again XD
That looks great
You lucky guy to put your hands on this one 😉 Barbatos might be my preferred Gundam ever. Which is also the case for IBO. Amazing design. Wild. Sauvage. Excellent video, as usual, thanks for sharing.
I could never afford one but dam this is a beautiful work of art!
I've got this and man loving it so much ^_^
you had me at giggity giggity goo
Hey mate i was wondering what barbatos should i get the normal one,lupus or lupus rex bcs ive never had a gundan with a inner fram so....uh which one woukd u suggest bcs im gettin it for Christmas :)
What are the hands made of and what are the wrist joints made of? Essentially where is all the metal at?
im drooling. I just got some iron orphan stuff recently but none like this metal lupus rex. NV Jelly U lol. Also Bandai calls that giant sword club a “GRAM” ? I think, I read it on a iron orphan box once. You got me thinking of saving up for Christmas.
Hey @Mecha Gaikotsu, I finally got into gunpla. I must say I started with the Wing Gundam ZERO EW Ver.Ka, I watched your review about it, the Wing Zero EW is my top gundam. And was a very pleasant 1st build. I'm about to finish it (decals). I was wondering, about Tamiya TS-80, is it ok for ABS? the Ver.Ka has some ABS parts, but I could not find good enough info about it, I want to seal my build to protect the decals and the gunpla from time hah. This thing is gorgeous! So if you could help me with this I would appreciate it very much. Thankyou.
Hi M.G, great video as always but this time I think you should try a brighter scene/lighting setup. This look quite dark, try a brighter lighting which brings out a lot more details on the figure/mobile suit. Thanks!
You just made me buy the last one on Amazon
DUDE FOLY FUCK YOU ALMOST GAME ME A HEART ATTACK.
I thought the title said *"PERFECT GRADE BARBATOS"* , jesus fk, a rollercoaster of emotions in a split second.
now i really want rg barbatos lupus
was eye-ing these metals sets for a while but kind of disappointed it just comes preassembled
Hopefully the ankles don't get super loose. My Lupus Rex has been getting looser around the ankles.
You forgot to pull out the middle part of the blue chest piece for heat exhaustion
Received this beauty yesterday and couldn't get my hands off of him for the rest of the day. While I still love the Rex design, the build quality is more solid on this guy fortunately. He has more diecast parts and accessories than Rex too. I hope they will do Metal Build Barbie some time soon, I mean, $100 more to upscale this guy is still worth it in my greedy opinion.
So glad I got this bad boi
just noticed vidar's piston is out of its casing up on the shelf
I wish I could get one, can't seem to find it on buyee.
if there was an RG Gundam Barbatos:
- Gundam Frame + Barbatos Armor
- Barbatos Weapons
Are you going to do the new target specials?
Barbatos is always a beast.
he was, until it got stabbed and beheaded. then it became roadkill.
Unicorn:Am I a joke to you
Barbie is a beast along with the rx-78-2! If you watched the original gundam anime, amuro destroyed i think was 15 zakus? Its still badass
@@_MARC0_40 the rx 78 was the real beast. dude shot down a zeonic newtype mobile suit without a head and an arm.
I wonder if the inner frame will rust like a normal metal or steel?
It is quite funny that banfai still hasnt have a new IBO MG 1/100 kit since they have that amazing gundam inner frame.
I really love the barbatos leg design and hell that piston got me like dammmmm..
I'm happy to let you all know that my 79yrs old lovely💗 Mother was cured totally from lupu infection whit the help of Dr.Ani John on RUclips his herbal medicine is 100% real and legit contact him now on his RUclips channel for your permanent cure..
word of the day "crackling!"
Hey mecha would u do a review on the metal robots Kimaris Vidar ?
I can agree about the Lupus being the best Barbatos form.
For me it goes Lupus, original, Lupus Rex, 6th form.
Now where's that Master Grade Bandai?
All Barbatos are perfect and beatiful
Are they meant for playing or just display?
I like Barbados 4th form the best, all the armor natches perfectly.
you meant _clusters_ horribly. right?
@@obcena1447 it's his opinion calm tf down
@@HoangNguyen-us3tz Yeah, he mistyped right? I'm pretty sure he was sarcastic.
Dude, I just like the fourth form
No need to get pissy over it
@@muniz5808 yeah yeah bro, I understand that you "like" the 4th form, I "absolutely love it" myself.
My biggest gripe with ibo designs are the super short thighs so even with a full knee bend, the leg sometimes still looks straight. im so amazed that the metal robot series somehow makes it look perfect all the time?? and i cant even tell what they did different
To me the upper leg looks slightly longer than the kits do I’m not sure if that might make the difference
I also think that it might have more of a knee bend than the model kit’s do
That's a pet peeve of mine when it comes to MS designs in the Gundam franchise. The designers often make the thighs shorter than the lower legs, which makes those "taking a knee" poses look awkward. Why can't they make it like the RX-78-2 Beyond Global, where both the thighs and the lower legs are equally proportioned?
@@titan133760
Hajime Katoki is especially guilty of that. In fact, some people consider it to be his signature. It's not like I hate him for that though. Just a pet peeve too, it's a matter of taste.
00's designs (at least the Celestial Being Gundams) actively avoids this and it's all the more reason I have a bias for them.
@@genericweeb7300 I was actually going to mention Hajime Katoki being guilty of this, but I wanted to get to the point. It sucks considering that I like his designs and redesigns
Does Buyee sell items from a company called Studio Halfeye?
i can't wait for the new helios gundam
Mecha gaikotsu I'm waiting for the *Rg barbatos,barbatos lupus and barbatos lupus rex*
Hell yes!
Can’t wait to pay for all of it
@@MechaGaikotsu rg is the best line of gunpla I completely stop buying mg and start buying rg I'd say it's worth it cheap and cool
Im gonna wait for vidar bael barbtos lupus and lupus rex i will get all 4 of them if IF they come out
Anyone know if the first stand adapter is removeable? cant seem to take mine off
Can you take the armour off to see the frame ?
my favorite design
How would you compare this to the mg barbatos?
Is it a size of an hg or mg?
OUHH YESSSSS
I try looking on buyee I can't find them help boss
can you also please do a review on upcoming metal robot gundam bael and wing zero?
Will you panel line it?
Looking forward to an RG because my HG is falling apart.
I know I need to topcoat but damn..
Can I aski if the metal build have metal in kits
How does it compare to MG Barbatos you reviewed and highly praised? I kind of bought that kit on your video's recommendation alone.
PS: I am new to Gundam kit building/collection.
it looks cool and all with those little details
but i prefer the HG for the proportion, i mean look at the those legs
IT EXISTS!!!
i've waited so long for you to do this
I have lupus and lupus rex, i love rex more than lupus. you can make the joint tight with superglue or something and voila! lupus rex with all this weapon are sooo freakin' awesome. 😍
I NEEED ITTTT
Just give us a MG Barbatos Lupus already Bandai. You've already got the frame.
Never thought bout it till now but lupus means wolf (in latin) so its basically call barbatos wolf or barbatos wolf king. Sounds sick ngl
can the cockpit be opened?
It'd be perfect if the wrists weren't so loose. If you guys have any suggestions I would love to hear them but the usual super glue on the joint doesn't work since the hands are swappable. So unless you aren't going to swap the hands for ages, you just end up scrapping the glue off when you swap the hands. There are also awful nub marks on the weapons, the mortars being the worst offender. I do think it's an improvement over the Rex, but the floppy hands just ruin the fun of all it's weapons.
Wow! What scale is this?? 1/144??
gannnnaazz gunk 🔥🔥🔥
I just buy the hg one and its look awsome
I wonder why they haven't released metalbuild barbatos (mg height), is it because IBO's gundams are too blocky less roundy ?
Wonder how well the mg compares (well maybe)
So Whats the tier? Gundarium?
Still waiting for mine to F897$ing show up. At least Bael was preordered from Pbandai as soon as it came up.
MG Barbatos Lupus when
This gundam is a great thing
i like iron blood orphan,it different than any gundam anime.
..the mecha design have element of monster in it.
