Badly wish this was a regular release and not p-bandai but I get why. Such a cool HG and I'm excited to see what people will do with the Tiger hand in some customs.
If you live in the United States, you cannot complain about it being in P-Bandai. It was on pre-order for a whole year last year with 2 releases. Plus, during the end of the year, P-Bandai always re-pre-order again.
I wish the shell units on WFM kits were colorless clear instead of being dark smoky like they are. The pre-detauled shells look nice but they're always so much brighter than the parts that need to be stickers, which just doesn't look good. If the shwarzette used pure clear parts then the pink would shine so much brighter. Like the stickers on the forearms, that don't get covered by plastic.
because the green part is all one piece, you could, ideally, also just immediately paint that part silver with a clear green to replicate the metallic stickers, if you hate stray stickers like me. Just make sure to cover the connection areas on the part if one decides to do so
Even if you have a second kit or a bootleg to allow for a "left tiger claw", the connection for the arm brace piece is only one the one side of the white part in the giant arm. You can still use both, but it'll look a little awkward, because you have to make the arms face the opposite direction from each other to make it work.
I find it interesting (unless I missed something) that the giant arm they give you is only intended to be used as an arm mounted/hand held weapon rather than replacing the arm itself. It seems you would only need 1 piece to make it work that way, but the piece that was actually included that looked like it could do this is just to mount the arm to the back? Not necessarily bad, just interesting.
despite sharing the same surname the Lfrith series of Gundams are visually distinct from each other as in they don't have a unified design say compared to the Astray Frame Gundams from SEED.
Lfrith Aerial Aerial Rebuild Lfrith Ur Lfrith Thorn Lfrith Jiu Lfrith Anavata Lfrith Pre-Production Gundvolva Gundnode definitely had a lot of variation and the latest variant nowadays Pbandai 😅
Beginner here. Can you please do a custom build with this, currently own one this kit and aiming to buy another one so I could custom the one and install the other hand to the other one. Like, adding some scoring marks and panel linings as well as SMD LEDS. Also, I would like to know your opinion on what color scheme that might be good for it since I'm also planning on painting one.
The only thing I hate about this kit is the design for the handle for the tiger arm cannot be swap to be held on the left arm, even though the Tiger Arm can be swap to the left arm.
ngl even posing with just the ms itself without the tiger arm next to og lubris looks neat. its a variant yet got obvious distinct features. sigh pbandai
What would you recommend for someone that wants to paint in the shell unit instead of stickers? I was thinking a reverse (reverse?) wash, where I’d put down black lacquer then airbrush a metallic enamel over it, then wipe away everything but the indented parts. Am I making things too complicated? I’m not steady enough to hand paint 😅
I used metallic gundam markers to do mine, they just run into the channels like panel liner, then be careful with the black on the higher surfaces, worked great.
Can anyone recommend me some MG Kits and P-Bandai that's Must have? Started building model kit recently and have build few HG kits and I am planning to start building MG kits and I would also like to build few P-bandai kit (any grade) to add to my collection. Would appreciate some recommendation. Thanks In Advanced
Hahaha My friend here in the Philippines bought one of this from Scalpers for Php1500/USD28 Then a week later the Philippines got flooded by bootlegs of Jiu with free water slide decals for only 400php(retail)/8usd He was pissed as hell

Well there is bootleg if you want
This and the Gundnode being P-Bandai makes me really wish Canada had a store

8:22 Ideally you can make it hold the opposite way as a joystick handle instead of a trigger hold.

I absolutely love the design. Sure it shares the DNA with the other WfM pbandai releases but the face for this one is just intimidating.
Lmaoooo might be my favorite intro so far
🚀 Amazing unboxing, the Lfrith Jiu looks so cool! 🤩

I gotta say, the very first shot of that thing built up made me think, "Gosh, it must have such an easy time wiping..." :D
This one looks awesome !!

Exia's GN Sword finally meets its match!
Love that big ol beef arm!

GM spartan is an amazing Kit with a really nice build and good looking build
@@Marcel1298-p9f That is a cool kit. I will definitely add it to my list. Thanks for the recommendation
@@noneamblank the 00 MGs are amazing (kytios and dynames) and something like the MG zeta ver.ka is great too
@@Marcel1298-p9f Thanks again will check those out too
MG Gundam MK-V. It's a P-Bandai MG but it's a god-tier kit. Loved building it.
oh I thought this kit was reviewed here already oh well took long time it past being Bootleg already.
Gonna buy the bootleg version just to get the bigass arm for doing a custom build.
i wonder if anyone would buy just the big arm...
Hahaha

own the original product is way better than owning bootleg model kit 👎
@@myhonestopinion3334 true but that's 6 months of his savings, by a 14 year old
I hate p-bandai so much
