i agree with almost everything you said about this kit but i really like the look of it except for the shins the backpack and the hollow feet all of which can be fixed by any builder who does custom work its just a shame that it lacks all the traditional weapons and some other hands at its price but that would not stop me from buying it for a custom build
Hey Kakarot, maybe you should try the Entry Grade RX-78-2. It's literally the cheapest Gunpla I know of, at only $7 in the US (as low as $5 in some states) the articulation is almost the same as the Revive (better shoulders, SLIGHTLY inferior elbows), and it comes with everything the Beyond Global does other than the Beam Sabers. Plus, it's so quick to build that you could do the unboxing and the review in the same video.
The Origin is technically a different mobile suit from a different continuity though, while it is a great kit I don't count it as a rendition of grandaddy Gundam. I hate to be this guy but I can't help it so sorry in advance, the Origin's model number is RX-78-02.
I watch the review videos for kits that I don't particularly care about just to hear kakarot say "standard sized GM custom and the always bulky Zaku III"
Yep, I absolutely fell in love with this one. That being said, there's not exactly a lack of RX-78s to choose from, so if this one's not someone's cup of tea, they're bound to find a version that is.
It's a very interesting model, but yeah, there are so many RX-78-2 kits. Now, if this had come with a bunch of expressive hands or something, it'd maybe be a different story.
This is literally my favorite RX-78-2 design and I was really impressed by the build. For me, the engineering seems to have gone into making the kit seamless, because the build process felt different and more exiting than usual. This review kinda hurt on the inside. :’)
Yeah, the review felt really biased. Just like the G40, it's a reimagining of the granddaddy. Both the build process and the proportions are fresh and the articulation is definitely more than the sum of its parts.
Beyond Global is at least free from sticker hell compared to the Revive and Origin. It may be obviously lacking in terms of accessories and articulation beaten by Origin by a mile, but when Bandai said it's technologically advanced, they weren't joking, just overhyped it. I mean, have you seen any other RX-78-2 not requiring color-correcting stickers aside from the Entry Grade version which came out a few months after it? Also, a kit having almost no seamlines especially in the head unit is a plus despite your complaint in its size.
Wait, do you SERIOUSLY consider the Revive and Origin RX-78's to be "sticker hell?!" The Revive (not counting the head sensors) only has ONE sticker (for the crotch) and the Origin just has one additional decal for the bazooka camera. If you think thats "sticker hell" I think you're in the wrong hobby.
@@supergeno128ds I consider Origin to be sticker hell due to being developed the same year as Beyond Global and still requires sticker for the crotch and its limbs. Also, do you like to gatekeep hobbyists who dislike stickers?
0:56 that pose is in my school vr game where he enters the arena like that and fights goalius and fyi this was a tachyon boss which are bosses from different realitys
I have this kit and I had a lot of fun posing it around and I also have the glow in the dark version which I won from the gunpla 40th anniversary campaign in Indonesia and it does actually glow in the dark
you forgot about one thing that would make people buy the Beyond Global instead of the Origin version and HG Revive. Polycap deterioration. from my knowledge the Origin use Polycap in the shoulder. deadass one years later the one show in my local hobby shop has it left arm droop down because of the shield.
@I am Petitgguy nah, even with super glue and floor polish it won't help in case of polycap. i tried to tighten ball joint connected to the arm for HG IBO gundam frame. it still lose. they can't hold any pose at all after like 3 months.
@I am Petitgguy HG IBO's Gundam Frame in general is kinda bad. due to how easy it was made/engineered. i can't hold much weight and this line decided to throw so many option part onto weak ass frame, wth bandai. also usually if you don't pose that much and the kit doesn't have any heavy weight to hold onto tighten both socket and the joint will most likely work.
Yet the revive Zaku II has no polycaps, and the secondary ball joint in the forearm is a floppy mess. Polycaps are a blessing for ball joints. Peg and swivel plastic joints are fine, but for ball joints? No. My GEP Zeta is also a mess, especially compared to any revive high grade that I own with polycaps. Both the hips and the awful all-plastic shoulder joint are cringe inducing. I've had to tighten the hips probably half a dozen times, and the shoulder joint almost broke on mine.
I feel like you missed the point of this kit. This is a stand alone more artistic piece not a version of rx78-2 from an anime. Hence the proportions and colors. Kinda like the g40 as a stand alone piece and not meant to be like the others. Articulation wasnt better than other hg hits though.
Mess???? Many love this kit. Though i am not hating you for your opinion. Thats your preference. I also like this. This guy was design to improve its looks and was not made to be Screen accurate plus the engineering of the joints which some people really always cry because not having good articulation. Which many liked it.
I dunno man, I don't see the proportions as a problem. It's just like how a real human being is supposed to be proportioned. The poseablility is very great, and it's overall pretty solid.
I can't agree. Most UC Gundams, especially Grandpa here, don't use human proportions. They use something a bit closer to super robot proportions. It's more appropriate for the Exia or Strike, which are lankier and designed to be more like humans.
The Origin is unquestionably better, but I really like this version. The proportions are appealing despite being more super robot than real robot. The colors are also quite nice. I’d also argue that it’s more attractive than the G40 and the aesthetics aren’t sacrificed for some extra articulation. The knees are the only odd bit because they’re too detailed compared to the rest of the design.
imo you were way too harsh on this kit. i dont normally watch your vids so take my advice with a grain of salt, but it's disappointing to see someone bash on this just because it strays about from a similar kit (thats completely different btw). i disagree with the notion that more = more in gunpla, especially the fact that most comments say "omg so bad, it doesnt come with as many accessories as the origin" which is just not the point of this kit. i can definitely feel the bias coming out of this video regardless
for reference when i say "bias" i mean that since you dont like the proportions, nor what this kit focuses on (yes, they overhyped the articulation. bandai always overhypes everything though, big whoop), you decide to bash on it rather than giving an objective overview on the positives and negatives. nothing you pointed out was bad per say, but the way you worded things makes them seem 10x worse than they really are. sometimes, they're even just things that aren't to your liking rather than being a "worse" aspect. not a good review man, idk what to say
This isn't my favorite version.... But it's up there. And it's the favorite of so many, calling this a "footnote" is a highly based opinion. Every section of this review felt like the decision was already made before the box was opened.
A rather divisive design, I have to agree, just like the G40. And yes, it may feel very barebones compared to other HG RX-78-2 kits. But I personally just like it for what it is which is a different take on the RX-78-2 as we know it.
for my Beyond Global, it was the opposite of your review, Building and posing was a nightmare, articulation waaaaaaay too tight and nothing was coming together, but i still love the narrow look of this kits
@I am Petitgguy that what i've made for every part, but even there some parts (mostly the joints in the foots) got damaged when i was trying to pose it
Great review Vincent and I appreciate you going into all the details. Frankly the release timing of this thing, alongside many, MANY other similar RX-78-2 kits in the same scale, didn't really do it any favors...and the polarizing proportions just made things more difficult for it. I just can't make a case for this over the Origin version TBH.
I think this is Sunrise/ Bandai's way of saying that they will be taking liberties with the design/ aesthetic of MS in the future rather than being faithful with how it looks. Maybe they will apply some of the changes shown in this kit at the ongoing live action movie
Honestly, I prefer it over the G40. The G40 was obviously very experimental even compared to this. While it may have been even more flexible, that came at the cost of it being very fragile and the design is a major departure. Although ironically, I still like the G40 slightly more than the Age-01 in its vanilla configuration.
tfw i missed the Gundam Online Expo version of this (that is, this but it's the G-3 Gundam) and I'm still as upset about that as I am that I MISSED the RG Unicorn Gundam Perfectability
glad i never craved for this ever since it came out with it's review.... I'm never a fan of that design so.... I'm gonna pick the revive or the origin if i have the money instead
I remember they put preorderes up for this not long after I had gotten and finished my Revive RX 78-2. I was happy enough with the Revive so I had little interest in this one. Watching this makes me think I made the right choice. The Origin one looks good but I like the classic look more and it makes my RX 78-1 FSD look more unique next to it
I note I've not seen a review for the g40 industrial. So major grain of salt there. My own experience, even against the origin with the additional accessories I prefer the bg.
hey, quick unrelated question, if someone like you with a lot of knowledge of the series were tossed into any of the gundam universes, which gundam would be the easiest to hijack, as in you could both be its pilot and get away to a safe location(since if you were in seed early in the series you might be able to take kiras place but would be stuck with the archangel) and which is the most powerful that is still stealable? (keep in mind that you have your knowledge of the series and are not just a random nobody in that particular universe.)
I love the all the aspect of this kit, except the legs proportion.. I think people buy this kit purely for the experience building it rather than having kit with the best articulation possible or because it's RX-78-2 And yeah it's quite different take frome the original RX-78-2 but, if we see it as regular kit. This kit just so good (but still quite pricey for Bandai model kits)
The torso/waist part and the lower legs part look too thin, but still kinda looks good. Still better than the G40 IMO... but the Origin version is the best HG granddaddy so far.
Kakarot197, try buy EG Gundam & replace the head of EG(the head that you like just like old hguc rx-78-2) to head of HGUC Revive. It look better (game design) like combination of hguc 2001 & hguc 2015, thank me later because i just did to my own rx-78-2🤩👍
I feel like the review was really biased. The reviewer really felt on emphasizing the bad points rather than the good ones- they really focused on the “yes,but..” rather than the “yes, and…”. What I’m trying to say is that if you guys want to get this kit, try to look up more other reviews, try to look at other opinions. remember guys, what matter is that you like it not if others like it.
I pretty much have to agree-the build was interesting, but in the end it's kind of a blah kit. I think mostly I was unimpressed with the washed-out colors they went with.
I quite like the leg proportions of the Beyond Global RX-78-2, I just hate the detailing and how poorly they match the design of the rest of the kit. Maybe if they did something similar to the arms and chest so all of the Gundam looked creepily human the legs wouldn't have matched so poorly.
Honestly, for the first time seeing this kit from its announcement I never liked it, but don't dislike it too much either. Beyond Global has no polycaps used, nice skirt joint, and nice detailing (but I prefer more plain design like MG Granddaddy 2.0 or MG Jegan). But that's it. Other than that, I'm VERY disliking its SEED-like torso proportion, and its legs weird proportion. I know about too many people likes detailed/too detailed kits MORE than plain kits, but I must say this. I rather pick the Origin for lot of accessories, or the Entry Grade for cheap price for custom and nice classic granddaddy's look of it
I can boldy claim Gundam Beyond Global is the ugliest HG RX-78-2 out there. Even compared to the unique looking G40th ver, I'd pick the latter instead.
its like the gto and thr f00 hqd q very leggy daughter and i say daughter but aside from the wide feet the proportions looks like a very athletic woman thicc thighs thin shins chest that protrudes so far out they could be hiding some bazookas under there
I'd happily play with my Origin or Revive Granddaddy instead of the Beyond Global. I don't dislike the design, just hating how the thighs are longer than the lower legs, and how the forearms are thicker than the shins.
9:01 lousy excuse (Not you Kakarot-kun. the GUNPLA) that isn't realistic in the least. Id rather have a static back skirt with a bazooka on it. Then it would actually make decent sense
Yeah, I am not sure I understand the love this kit has been getting. Lots of over engineered parts for an RX78-2 that doesn't look right. I'd much rather have an Origin for my collection, or even just an entry grade.
Not too big of a proportions guy, but even I see what you mean with this thing. Does it wanna be thicc or lean? Seems like they couldn't make up their mind. #notarobotfetishist ...much. lol

You can't properly hold shields with your hands. Its supposed to be anchored to forearm; to hold more weight.

I personally think it's pretty cool and would definitely buy itover the others.
I honestly feel this kit would fit better with a full armor set, which would help alleviate the wonky proportions
It's not just the proportions of the BG that bugs me, it's the base color. The slightly warm off-white just feels wrong to me.
Try Getting the Entry Grade (New)
The only reason why I’m not getting this is the very brown look to it.
I remember they put preorderes up for this not long after I had gotten and finished my Revive RX 78-2. I was happy enough with the Revive so I had little interest in this one.

My biggest issue with this kit is how big those forearms are
I love the all the aspect of this kit, except the legs proportion.. I think people buy this kit purely for the experience building it rather than having kit with the best articulation possible or because it's RX-78-2
And yeah it's quite different take frome the original RX-78-2 but, if we see it as regular kit. This kit just so good (but still quite pricey for Bandai model kits)
The torso/waist part and the lower legs part look too thin, but still kinda looks good. Still better than the G40 IMO... but the Origin version is the best HG granddaddy so far.
I think i’ll just get the 1/144 HG Gundam The Origin RX-78-2 gundam instead.
Kakarot197, try buy EG Gundam & replace the head of EG(the head that you like just like old hguc rx-78-2) to head of HGUC Revive. It look better (game design) like combination of hguc 2001 & hguc 2015, thank me later because i just did to my own rx-78-2🤩👍
just imagine the proportions as if how the Gundam appears in the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure universe, lol.
I feel like the review was really biased.
The reviewer really felt on emphasizing the bad points rather than the good ones- they really focused on the “yes,but..” rather than the “yes, and…”.
What I’m trying to say is that if you guys want to get this kit, try to look up more other reviews, try to look at other opinions.
remember guys, what matter is that you like it not if others like it.
I wish modern HGs would come with proper closed fist hands more often, the holding hands are just so damn ugly and toyish
Ngl he looks kinda drippy, I'll fite you vince vance
The only part of the proportion that weirded me is the weirdly large feet.
Would’ve been nice if the lower legs were thicker
Well compared to the Gundam G40 industrial version this looks amazing
I'd rather have the Entry Grade but it's outta stock in my country
I pretty much have to agree-the build was interesting, but in the end it's kind of a blah kit. I think mostly I was unimpressed with the washed-out colors they went with.
The main problems I have are the colors.
Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes the proportions, legit just got it cause it'll be worth something to someone someday lol

Im pretty sure you and mecha gaikotsu are the same person
Thighs too thick, else not bad. Too expensive
I quite like the leg proportions of the Beyond Global RX-78-2, I just hate the detailing and how poorly they match the design of the rest of the kit.
Maybe if they did something similar to the arms and chest so all of the Gundam looked creepily human the legs wouldn't have matched so poorly.
the perfect example of over-design
Honestly, for the first time seeing this kit from its announcement I never liked it, but don't dislike it too much either. Beyond Global has no polycaps used, nice skirt joint, and nice detailing (but I prefer more plain design like MG Granddaddy 2.0 or MG Jegan). But that's it.
Other than that, I'm VERY disliking its SEED-like torso proportion, and its legs weird proportion. I know about too many people likes detailed/too detailed kits MORE than plain kits, but I must say this. I rather pick the Origin for lot of accessories, or the Entry Grade for cheap price for custom and nice classic granddaddy's look of it
I love it.
I can boldy claim Gundam Beyond Global is the ugliest HG RX-78-2 out there. Even compared to the unique looking G40th ver, I'd pick the latter instead.
its like the gto and thr f00 hqd q very leggy daughter and i say daughter but aside from the wide feet the proportions looks like a very athletic woman thicc thighs thin shins chest that protrudes so far out they could be hiding some bazookas under there
naysss
I'd happily play with my Origin or Revive Granddaddy instead of the Beyond Global. I don't dislike the design, just hating how the thighs are longer than the lower legs, and how the forearms are thicker than the shins.
Yeah, also not a fan of the leg proportions. Throws the entire design off for me.
The g40 is imo better.
9:01 lousy excuse (Not you Kakarot-kun. the GUNPLA) that isn't realistic in the least. Id rather have a static back skirt with a bazooka on it.
Then it would actually make decent sense
Yeah, I am not sure I understand the love this kit has been getting. Lots of over engineered parts for an RX78-2 that doesn't look right. I'd much rather have an Origin for my collection, or even just an entry grade.
It is meant to look stylish akin to Studio TRIGGER's designs and isn't really "over-engineered"
Not too big of a proportions guy, but even I see what you mean with this thing. Does it wanna be thicc or lean? Seems like they couldn't make up their mind. #notarobotfetishist
...much. lol
hmmmm my fav version so far, RG is the worst...
1:11 Haman-sama!
Wait, what was this video about again...?
