The Typhoeus itself needs a little bit of work but I love the look overall. Reminds me of the old Super Sentai/ Power Rangers designs/characters when not inside it's armor.
My roommate said it looks like something from Power Rangers when I finished the straight build 😂! I decided to use the leftover Raphael parts to replace the garish ugly injection gold and it looks much better.
I say the main reason for them using only high grade models is simply because there are more than and the easier to combine than Master grades.
And can you imagine the amount of length of a plastic there would be in a Master Grade build Fighters kit? Not to mention they would have to make a bunch of unique parts for each kid to avoid that
And every time that MG breaks in a fight, the builder needs to have spares of the entire kit to keep going to the following rounds. And many of the competitors are children.
Maintaining a single custom HG and its multiple spares is already unrealistically expensive unless you're winning the gold.
canonically speaking there's just a different competition for MG. the Wing Fenice was made into a MG kit in the form of the Gundam Fenice Rinascita Alba, a MG-version of the normal Rinascita now in blue.
I was talking about Bandai themselves outside of the show not what's going on in the show
@@williehawkinsii4845 there are MG build fighter kits, i know at the very least for the dark matter exia and the wing fenice
@@SoulstrikerV in gundam breaker 3, someone does bring a master grade to a tournament. it's a boss, and the way it's told, that player had never lost a battle with it before (until us, obviously), so there is some precedence for them, and just how much more powerful they are compared to a hg's power level, whatever the metrics may be
the Reason why people go to 1/144 Scale Kits in Build is due to the Abundance of Spare parts and Ease of Maintenance
Real Grade is in the Middle Ground since the Build Strike had a Scratch Built Inner Frame
there have been times were other scales have been represented like the 1/48 Mega Size Zaku
1/60 Strike Gundam, 1/60 Exia, 1/200 RX-78-2
To match the gold from the line art the White Gold EX Gundam Market is a pretty close shade. It’s a nice and shiny gold while being a champagne sort of colour and looking more premium than the usual yellow gold usually used on kits
I just got that marker recently for using on the MG Sinanju! Haven't tried it yet though!
@@MechaGaikotsu I recommend the EX marker heaps. I’ve been using then for gold detailing for around a year now and it looks fantastic
Jury is pretty split: We had some kits with their Build variants first and then later the OG is P-Bandai (Teritium to Gundam Mk.III, Livelance Heaven to Deathscythe Hell), but we had the OG come out as regular releases too (R-Gyagya to R-Jarja). With Destroy Gundam coming to us as retail, one can only hope that the eventual Psycho Gundam Mk II is also retail.
I'm certain that psycho gundam mk ii will be p-bandai, based on what you said, and how p-bandai works these days, releasing more p-bandai than retail, yes... It'll be p-bandai
the Psycho Gundam Mk-II looks too similar to the original that having them both on retail shelves could be confusing. This makes me lean more to P-Bandai
the Typheous gundam itself is astonishingly beautiful, and it transforms to boss mode with the Chimera HAL unit
for the shoulders I found that putting together the gray parts for the most part first made it an easy fix when assembling and then you'd plug in the small gray part up top into the incomplete armor section then reattach the small red sliding bit to the aromor, then it's super simple to add the last piece.
21:00 this is because HGs are the most varied and readily-available grade for gunpla. It's much easier to customize an HG gunpla not because it is actually easy to do, but because it is easy to replace if things go south.
Well, it USED to be.
The Gunpla drought in recent years has kind of put a damper on that.
@@MasterSwo-MK fair enough but let's be real: it's much easier to replace any HG than any other grade
@@elementxxrider True enough.
as far as the build series i think the different grade are separated similar to weight class so everyone is hopefully around the same power level also hg has the most customizability which is a major point in the build series
I like to think that characters use HG kits since there’s so many different HGs that exist. So it helps when customizing.
IRL explanation is definitely marketing since HGs are cheap and easy, anyone could build an HG since they’re so easy. Kids are part of the demographic so small and cheap kits are perfect
If I remember correctly, the original build fighters show had different groups split between MG and Hg with SD.
Honestly, I love the aesthetic of this kit so much. Even if it might not be the nicest, most modern kit ever the looks, sheer size and amount of accessories makes it good in my book
Excited to see Mecha's take on the "Best Gunpla of 2023" 🔥
14:30 ah.. I understand that feeling, I just learned that gn sword II of OO gundam variants need to fit to the trigger too to fit, just realized when built OO DVR arc😂
Gotta do everything in a high gloss finish to get that Japanese lacquered bowl aesthetic
Maybe it is just me but i found the gun/hand being secured by the trigger brilliant as far as design goes. Will it hold up over time? idk but I do like when they try to innovate
It does make the handle look better than the usual rectangular block
When we don't have a psycho gundam mk2 but the anime universe has it and that my friends is unfair
Same with the Aegis Gundam revive. The anime universe has had it since Re:Rise season 2 and we still haven’t got it
REAL, WHERE'S OUR HG MK-II
yeah the Build series heavily implied that their universes have everything Gundam related as a model kit
We have an entire mg frame for doven wolf silver bullet and surpressor too
Bandai did the same thing with Gundam Breaker Battlogue with the Live Lance Heaven and released Gundam Death Scythe Hell (tv version) pieces and then it was released as a P-Bandai later last year.
For gunpla battle in the Build fighters Universe, it's for ease of repair. It's harder to repair an MG over a HG so whenever the parts are breaking constantly, just get a few pla plates and rebuild the part you need to build instead of buying a whole kit. In team battles, you can use some oversized kits but then the entire team needs to use the gunpla, not just 1 person.
For Build divers, I suspect it's mainly due to the size of the scanners used for online play. GBD scanners in divers can scan PG's but the scanners used for GBN are smaller and may require specialized equipment you are not going to find easily for HG
My biggest issue were the leg modules- the amount of weight hanging off of the hip joint makes them just hang limply. I wish the base came with some sort of supports for them!!
Somehow seeing this kit, makes me think Bandai is foreshadowing a HG Huckebein Boxer Frame in the future
They already gave us the Gunner, so why not?
@@MasterSwo-MK they are intentionally building hype I guess because Boxer is obviously more popular than the Gunner but the latter got a kit announcement first
as a custom builder I went "hell yeah I'll take it, imperfections and all" 🍺
Tbh, the giant dragon head shields remind me of the red mobile armor from the middle of Gundam UC that attacked a city Earthside, when the Banshee first showed up.
Best case with this kit in my opinion is to have this painted up with the armor separate on stand. Have the cold be a bright candy gold or a lighter shade of gold to match the original art.
The full transformed version would look nice if you already have a lot of bulky transformed kits like AOZ line.
Just really exciting how we're getting Mobile Armors now. Especially with the HGCE Destroy coming soon.
The arms gave away the HG UC Phycho MK II was shown off with it's prototype! Can't wait for the release! The Hype is real!
I tried putting some beam effects in the fingers. MG ones are too big; as for the HG ones, a bit tight at times, but I think they fit. Wouldn’t be surprised if the full Psycho Mk 2 would come with beam parts similar to what the Destroy will have.
The rg system on the build strike means "Radial General Purpose (RG) System" not real grade, so the build strike is a hg gundam in the show.
This is also supported by the scene where the build strike purged the right shoulder, revealing that it was connected to the torso with a ball joint, just like the high grade.
Any suggestion for a different color scheme for this kit? I'm planning to buy one and I'll eventually paint it
I literally just bought this kit a couple days ago
Waiting on it now, but this was a surprise
This makes me want to finish my TR-6 custom, honestly. XD
In the build series everyone uses HG because that would give everyone access to GunPla and makes it easier to compare abilities both in building and customization. There was a bit in the BF:T in which they look at the G Portent deploy repair machine and say something along the lines of "that Gunpla is so detailed it's almost a Real Grade" to show the degree of ability from Shia, IIRC
there is one of the shorts where someone trolls a group of grunt model real military enthusiasts by dropping the perfect grade exia into their 'realistic military operation'.
@@FuuPhoenix is that the one with the Renato Brothers?
@@EmanueleCappello I think so
i believe in build fighters try, there was an episode with a perfect grade zaku boss fight or something along those lines.
I was waiting for this review before I build mine. Got mine on release and it's in the shelf for almost a month now. Time to build it I guess.
You think the Mobile Armor would be compatible with Amazing Barbatos Lupus Rex?
Wasn't there a Mega Size Zaku in the original Build Fighters? It was illegally added by the chairman himself because he wanted Sei and Reiji off the tournament.
I think 1/144 is widely used in Build competitions because of the amount of choices available in the market.
The one i remember is a Psycho GM, and it got a PBandai HG
There was a Mega Size that was used but I do not believe that was put in illegally. Also in a flashback in Build Divers, the protagonist used a Speed Grade to fight against someone using a Perfect Grade who was destroying everyone in the shop. So there’s no rules against the use of larger grades, and they are more powerful, but I believe the reasoning for them not being used is because in the original Build Fighters the actual kits would get damaged in combat, and repairs for MGs and PGs would just get too expensive to use them consistently
@djkidna I guess I worded that wrongly. There was a Mega Size registered in the system. The kit was on standby on a GP Base. But it wasn't scheduled to be part of the competition during that round. The chairman just added it to the field for personal reasons outside of his duty as the chairman to get rid of Reiji.
Do you know if you can put gundams on them pod stands ? Thanxs bud
Paint all the Gold Parts with Tamiya TS-21. You'll be Happy 😊
Will you be taking a look at the lfrith anavata? Its from vanadis heart like the lfrith jiu
Typhus?! C'Tan?! I'm half expecting to see the Rogal Gauntlet next!
The Tr\yphoeus really has this HG version of an SD gundam feel.
i think a repaint of different colors would make this look so much better
they brought the smoothbore back
YAHOO
Somehow metaverse feels really lazy...
Because it is
Yes kinda project to fulfill fans desire
Bandai just waste some potential for Gundam anime. Like this one and gunpla breaker battlelog story. If they can make one anime that can chain all build series and gunpla breaker, that gonna be wholesome. Just imagine how many gunpla that they can release and that will rise their sales than release tomato can with gunpla picture printed on it😅.
It kinda is tbh. The overall story and characters is lazy
Because it is.
about characters Gunpla battle using kits other than 1/144 scale and SD, the Build Divers side story GM and Ball World Challenge and its sequel Genius Head Line is about characters who Gunpla battle using 1/100 scale kits from MG to RE/100, also in Build Divers Re:Rise we have that epic battle between a Speed Grade kit which is 1/200 scale and a Perfect Grade which is 1/60 scale which is hilarious.
I feel like some of the gold on the Typhoeus needs to be red, but that's my personal tastes talking, as I prefer gold being a highlight color. Overall though, I'll probably get this eventually. I'm more excited for the potential Psycho Gundam MkII
If wanted a backordered master grade like the GM Command how long would it take to get delivered?
Sorry for the poor grammar I meant to ask how long would it take for a backordered master grade like the GM Command to become available.
honestly it depends on bandai, sometimes kits get regular reprints and some take years. i waited several months for some kits to come in to hobby link and they never became available
20:46 I always assumed that people used hg because of how many there were and how easy it would to kit bash with all the different kits in the hg line
It looks like the bits from the mobile armor in the unicorn anime
It would be awesome to see a video of you waving a real black light around your displayed models
Did HGUC 1/144 Psycho Gundam MK-II Runner Kit But Did Not Sure Announced Yet!
God I hope the HG Psycho Gundam Mk. II is this year. I have been waiting for so long...
20:55 i’m guessing it’s because high grades are easier to use, and are much less delicate and not as expensive than an actual perfect grade, because in Gundam build fighters having an arms split off from your Gundam, would mean you’d have to buy a second one just to repair that arm and if that’s a real grade you’re gonna have to be paying for like 50 bucks maybe 60 and I think it’s becausehigh grades are at least more customizable and away where for real grades and perfect grades are only suited for that type of Gundam
Giant mecha lobster, cool
and aerodynamic aswell.
This looks awesome
I might have to get this ome
Could you review the Infinity Nova Aurora 1/100, when it comes out? That mech looks amazing!!!!! :D
this looks amazing oml
can you do Hemoxian Thor kit after this?
Incredible Gundam Raphael customization, Maria! 🤩👏
You can totally paint this up to be a Gundam version of Transformers Razor claw.
I made my woundwort combine with the Chimera, it’s pretty cool
Got a bunch of big AoZ-ridiculous kitbash ideas for them
I was literally thinking of doing that if I bought one of these! Any way you could share a picture of it?
I think RUclips is removing my comment because of the word my username includes…
@@Selvanus jeez RUclips is retarded
@@Selvanus I'm trying to give you my discord or telegram and youtube is deleting my comments too...
@@kickingmagpieimma try just avoid a bunch of words as it deleted me yet again:
Find me with my YT name on the 1st one you mentioned
This would be a great Gurren laggan custom build
Could the Psycho Gundam MK II arms be part of the P-Bandai kit called the Psycho GM that's coming out this year?
if you are referring to the HG Build Fighters Psycho GM then that is completely based on the original HGUC Psycho Gundam. I do not know of any other Psycho GM kit.
Which gundam is it from because I been trying to find it for weeks
Zeong,neo zeong and psycho gundam just turned in their graves
Hey Mecha! Can you please do a review on the Hemoxian Thor model kit?? Thanks!
Looks good
I'm psyched if they release the Psycho Gundam mk2. I'm a sucker for large HG kits.
*a true hero-toby fox starts playing*
For the various grades in the build stuff, there's the battle in Re:Rize where someone breaks out a Perfect Grade Strike...Hiroto takes it down with a hastily constructed RX-78-2 (I believe an Entry Grade one at that), with commentary that most players use the HG (With RG and EG being there) because they're the cheaper option so most people use them because of the scale though RG's are noticeably more powerful than HGs...and the pilot of the Strike was portrayed as an asshole who tricked a lot of new players into the fight.
It showed that the larger grade kits are larger and, normally, have their own events and contests that use them save for some free battles.
Wasn't an entry grade, as that didn't exist at the time. Rather, what it was, was a Speed grade (1/200 scale). The size of the speed grade likely played a factor in what would eventually become the original Core Gundam.
@@Darkrai9087 I'm pretty sure Re:Rize came out around the same time as the RX-78-2 Entry Grade, that episode was set after the space encounter and revelation of ALUS in orbit when Kiroto was convinced to join the fight
I literally only watched this to get a tease at the upcoming HG Psycho Gundam Mk II. 💀
so the only build series where RGs are used is Gundam Build Real. I haven't read any in-universe reason for the 1/144 scale (minus RG) and SD only being used. My headcannon is there are different leagues for the separate scales that the stories don't focus on. I know there are Battlogue episodes that have the larger scale MS (forgot if MG and/or PG) as (A.I.?) boss battle. The real reason is most likely based on what real life kits (HG and SD are plentiful and have the best ROI) Bandai can use as bases for customization or use a "new" build kit to release the base kit.
Can we just get the Typhoeus gundam instead of its Mobile Fortress?
I thought they use the new engineering of the joints for the typhoeus gundam.sadly it still an old design as raphael(single joint at the elbow,ball joint at the leg)
Actually i think the show doesn't exactly use HG its more advance than the RG with a better inner frame more like an MG but in 1/144 scale. There a scene in build fighter try where they show try burning gundam in a case without its armor and have a full inner frame. Therefore i think the series gunpla is diferent than the real life version we got cus they are more futuristic and advance technology in the show. Also whenever the character held their gunpla it have those clicky noise i know it just a sound effect but it felt more realistic like it have more part in it.
I'm dreading how much Bandai are going to charge for the Psycho MK-2...as awesome as it would be.
I wouldn't think it would be much more then the Destroy Gundam, if at all.
20:39 I think they use HGs for somewhat competitive standardization. The build strikes RG system was a function he built in as a custom feature, I'd imagine using an actual strike RG frame would make it more fragile, and someone does use a PG at one point in build divers, but (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) I think I remember they were explicitly cheating. There was also the Psyco GM, used by the gunpla mafioso, which I'd imagine would normally be cheating but since it's a HG, they might be using an exploit to load it into the plavsky particle arena
The pg strike gundam in build divers rerise right? Yeah they didn’t exactly cheat they just used a PG to bully any and all hg kit users there. The cheating thing I think you might be thinking of the time in build fighters where they threw in a mega size model zaku 2 that was focused solely on sei and reiji with the star build strike and then other shenanigans in the gunpla world tournament. Other than that the only other cheaters I can think of was the gunpla mafia in the gm counterattack.
Who would've thought that the HG CB-002 Raphael Gundam & HG JEE-M103 Kutan Type-III, would be reused like this.
21:43 The fact that Bandai made HG MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II parts for this kit means we're very very likely to get an actual HG MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II sooner or later.
This happened many times before. A somewhat recent example would be the HG XXXG-01L2 Gundam Livelance Heaven which led to an HG XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell (TV) released as a P-Bandai afterwards.
So going by precedent, it'd make sense to expect an HG MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II as a P-Bandai later.
In fact, I think we might even see a new HG MRX-009 Psycho Gundam since the existing kit is a 2004 kit, and a P-Bandai release based on that newer version for:
- MRX-007 Prototype Psycho Gundam
- MRX-008 Prototype Psycho Gundam
- MRX-010 Psycho Gundam Mk-II
@xxnike0629xx Oh, Suiton with a P-Bandai ill-wish for a UC stuff LUL
@xxnike0629xx and yet, you are still too silent about ....
@xxnike0629xx about both HGUC Xi and RG Hi-Nu being NOT P-Bandai releases LUL
@xxnike0629xx and speaking of, this year will be G-Reco's decade anniversary ...
@xxnike0629xx will you gonna restart your all-out ...
Did i miss a synduality model.kit review?
"Yo dawg, I heard you like Gundam's..."
The forearms splitting on the Raphael is just an issue of the mold, I've built the original, and it has the same issue.
Reminds me of Ripley in the power loader from Aliens
Even if the kit is mid, I'd say it's still worth it just for the design. I've loved this thing ever since I first saw it in Metaverse
Typhoeus Gundam Chimera:Insert Shaddiq meme here.
Maybe it's just me but the antenna reminds me of All Might's hair.
Typhoeus is from the legend of Greek Mythology Typhon the father of all monsters
if there were 1 kit thats a must have…what youvthink it is?
I think people generally use HGs for Gunpla Battles bcus its easier to maintain and/or replace. Also, beam weapons dont really care how big you are based on gundam logic.
This kit reminds me of the ironman and the hulkbuster suit.
At a whopping 8800 yen, this is actually more expensive than the upcoming narrative ver. Ka… a hard sell imo
Those cannons look like a reissue bor gun from ibo
This would be the end all ver. Ka if they were feeling froggy
Bandai just can’t seem to do the Gold
The villain from the show with great sad and tragic back story. Haha
Im a simple man. If a Gunpla has High heels, i want it
when might the best gundams of 2023 list drop ??
The mobile armor looks like a crab.
Its known as Mustard Gold.
I'm assuming the reason wy the build series use HGs is because they are easier to customize and cheaper. MGs and PGs can be more complicated.
Please review the hg jesta or jegan boi
reminds me of Shurikenjin mech from Ninninger/ Ninja Steel.
I think the reason why people only use HG in GPB is because cost and accessibility, HG have a ton of library and significantly cheaper then MG or RG plus in the og build fighter your gunpla will suffer real damage so repairing will cost mor for the more complex MG and RG
