JESUS CHRIST THIS ASTREA IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I remember seeing the Trailer video last year, but I didn’t expect it would look this GOOD!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAYUM!!!!
I like the lighting I’m the video! Black background with the purple leds. My favorite shot was the figure with the lamp in the background on the table.
Im kinda glad that this kit is out of stock in everystore available to me, would've burnt through my entire gundam budget for the rest of the year for it, the kit is simply gorgeous
also remember that the Astrea is a 2nd generation Gundam, despite its older age it still kicks ass, granted the O Gundam who is a 1st gen Gundam still somehow manages to fight the Exia who is a 3rd gen near the ending of Gundam 00 season 2.
Realistically not much has changed between 1st-3rd gen of 00 suits. The biggest difference is that they hadn't yed mastered atmospheric flight on the 0-gundam, hence the massive wings of light you see in the opening, but the armor was e-carbon, the weapons were powered by the same gn particles, so I doubt output was much different. The only thing I can think of is - I don't think the 0-gundam had the gn cables that allowed for a higher amount of mobility, and the exia had oodles of em'. I'd compare it to something like an f-16 dogfighting an f-35.
The two unknown weapons indicated on the base should be referring to the Sharp Shooter and GN-X Shields, if it make sense? Although expansion pack might be possible too :P
Sidenote: if you bought this figure and the right arm is loose, you've most likely bought the 1st batch that was released last year. This is very common for most MB Type X. I got the 2nd batch, which was released earlier this month, and the right arm joint is pretty solid. I'm not sure if it's the same for those who got the 2nd batch, or I'm just that lucky. Either way, something to keep in mind.
@@Sams1802 not from the box, but on the figure itself there should be a brand marking with 4 dots next to it. Tamashii Nation products usually has this brand marking with 4 dots on it. If it has 3 dots instead, that's a 2nd release. The dot decreases by each re-release. Once the dots are gone, there won't be any re-release. If it's not on the figures, try checking the accessories.
This looks so amazing! Really a premium looking ‘kit’. Have to tip my hat off to you’re photography and lighting skills, video by video the production value is fantastic! You should be so proud!
Have you not built the DABAN red version kit of this? Comes with even more stuff, 8 shields, spiked mace, giant 'Avalanche' like swords that can be used as wings, all the shields expand like feathers, 6 guns, 2 Exia wrist swords, the same type of stand etc.. Somehow I got him in a cool pose with everything on him! But he is a kit not a Metal Build so a hell of a lot cheaper. These colours on yours are gorgeous though!!
This figure is gorgeous and I love all the features. But to me, half the fun is building the mobile suit. And that’s why I’ve pretty much passed on this entire line.
Love metal builds but they are normally to much for my liking. However this one is absolutely amazing. From the colors which happen to be my favorite for anything mecha. And as you said the complete armory that goes along with this gundam. Honestly getting flashbacks of Chromehounds because all my me hs would be black. And the arsenal that was in that game is kinda like this set.
Finsternis is Darkness in German. Love it when Gundam slaps german words on Gundams, Weapons and Characters. My favorites being Schwert-Gewehr and Schwarz Bruder which are Sword-Rifle and Black Brother translated into english
This type X is really beautiful. Mine has the type F avalung option set which came out nice. Black and type F color combination. My Dynames R3 has all of it's weapons except for the GN launcher and blades.
I think you should have commented on the holding hands. All the hands are made of this soft plastic and aren't posable, for most part its fine as weapons can just slide in except the bazooka. The bazooka handle is D shaped so to put it into hands you have to bend the thumb out, with it being a single digit and soft plastic I always worry that I'd accidentally snap the thumb so I always leave the bazooka out which is a shame.
I love your videos and I'm just starting my gunpla collection and I have bought the entry Grade strike gundam but I got the box one but I do plan on getting the bag one
if I recall that second head is based on a sort of mask unit that the original Astraea Type F had which was meant to disguise it as a gundam, not sure why they didnt just make it not look like a gundam at all but oh well
I would love to pilot that as a infinite stratos so yeah if you don’t know what I’m talking about I really recommend that anime/manga series of the same name.
I am soooooo mad I missed the pre-order for this one. It's almost my personal colors the only difference is the gold would be black chrome, it's soooo damn beautiful T_T
I bought a bootleg from a street seller called ukay ukay in the philipines who sell old and used toys. My exia was like a bootleg i think because the leg was broken the other one was gone and the body is half only and the other arm is missing.
Hello what other backpacks will fit onto this figure? I am getting it in a few days and I'm thinking to make the backpack different. I like it larger if possible The figures are expensive I wouldn't want to buy a figure and then it won't fit on this one.
After watching this, it pretty much confirms that it has all the accessories of the Astraea type F with some nice extras and a great paint scheme. Can’t wait to get mine! Honestly if you loved this, give one of the Crossbone metal builds a try. I’ve got them all and they are amazing, with plenty of accessory options!
Was just curious. Can the GN pistols inside the holsters attach to Dynames RIII? I noticed mine has an attachment point on the calves, the same one that we see here with Aestrea. I can see same attachment points as well, so i think we can do some sort of mix n match with the dynames and aestrea here.
How is the joint connecting the should to the Torso? I got the Babartos Lupus Rex metal build after watching your review and I am scared of breaking the plastic torso part holding the metal ball joint in place. Is this just like the Lupus Rex or it feels more solid?
who does the most and the best metal builds if i were to buy any.... whether it's one....or 20??? ive never gotten any metal build gundams... but i definitely have to get some... mechagaikotsu.... where do i go???
This figure is basically, "What if Exia made all the other suits irrelevant?"
Progenitor Gundam lol
00 raiser in a nutshell
It is more like Strike gundam in OO world, for arming with various weapons.
What if Celestial gundam is mass produced.
Exia already does… exia is just Gundam perfection
This is my first Metal Build, Black Exia was too cool not to get!
It sold out too soon
Astraea -> Exia
Delivery got pushed back to next month here in the states...damn you Patience!
You should call him Exia: Dark Knight.
@@sandermarkunzo4538 shut up normies
That new helmet and the color scheme makes this thing look so evil! Would've been cool to see it go up against exia in the show.
Mass produced gundams Going up against their prototype like Seed.
*Must… resist… impulses…!*
*Must… not… fall…!*
This is such a beautiful kit. Why must it be so hard to resist?!
It's not a kit, it's a metal build
its a figure
The MG EXIA WE WANTED BUT NEVER GOT
JESUS CHRIST THIS ASTREA IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I remember seeing the Trailer video last year, but I didn’t expect it would look this GOOD!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAYUM!!!!
I like the lighting I’m the video! Black background with the purple leds. My favorite shot was the figure with the lamp in the background on the table.
i love that mechagaikotsu is reviewing more metal build variants
One of my dream figures
Exia repair IV with Exia Dark Mode
This would look sick with the 30MM hanger walls where you could hang alls the equipment in the back ground
I love how this thing looks with the Gn x parts on it I hope we get a hg or rg of it even if it is p bandai
Can’t believe you got your hands on this thing! It’s crazy cool-looking and I wanted one so badly, but it cost so much and was P-Bandai too…
The visor mask and the color scheme really makes it seem like a eldora custom gunpla
Im kinda glad that this kit is out of stock in everystore available to me, would've burnt through my entire gundam budget for the rest of the year for it, the kit is simply gorgeous
Bondrewd: Oya? That absolutely my Gundam.
also remember that the Astrea is a 2nd generation Gundam, despite its older age it still kicks ass, granted the O Gundam who is a 1st gen Gundam still somehow manages to fight the Exia who is a 3rd gen near the ending of Gundam 00 season 2.

i like how you make the whole review looks a lot professional by just wearing gloves, well done!

@@RealEffinNoobAh I see, thanks a lot for the info!
This looks so amazing! Really a premium looking ‘kit’. Have to tip my hat off to you’re photography and lighting skills, video by video the production value is fantastic! You should be so proud!
This gundam looks menacing……
I like it
Menacing to my wallet
Super Happy to know that I’ll be adding this one to my collection next month, hoping the Bael is as good as this one seems to be
Exia design is PEAK, as expected.
Have you not built the DABAN red version kit of this?

thank for the vidoe i have been waiting for so long to review it
This figure is gorgeous and I love all the features. But to me, half the fun is building the mobile suit. And that’s why I’ve pretty much passed on this entire line.
It's interesting how it has equipment/inspiration from the various CB lines
I wish this Astraea made an appearance in Gundam Breaker Mobile before it shut down.
This build will give me too much emotional conflict. I want to use all of his weapon!
This is probably the best version of the metal build exia/astraea variants in terms of accessories
This is the most beautiful gundam I've ever seen
Love metal builds but they are normally to much for my liking. However this one is absolutely amazing. From the colors which happen to be my favorite for anything mecha.

Finsternis is Darkness in German. Love it when Gundam slaps german words on Gundams, Weapons and Characters. My favorites being Schwert-Gewehr and Schwarz Bruder which are Sword-Rifle and Black Brother translated into english
This build is cool as hell I wish I can make one too
Great review, now all you need is the metal build astraea type f to complete the gang!
This type X is really beautiful. Mine has the type F avalung option set which came out nice. Black and type F color combination. My Dynames R3 has all of it's weapons except for the GN launcher and blades.
he got me with the ‘astrea ass’ and ‘exia butt’
T'challa and Shuri would love that Gundam.
You could say this Astrea went through some Innovation...
This is Mass produced gundam in OO world. It can be sword, launcher or Versatile.
I was just doing a custom painted UM unicorn with black and metallic purple!
This Gundam......absolutely BEAST.
I think you should have commented on the holding hands.
All the hands are made of this soft plastic and aren't posable, for most part its fine as weapons can just slide in except the bazooka.

gundam exia reminds me of black panther even the helmet looks so cool
Those logo beneath the stand are from the game gundam breaker
i miss the “Mecha’s Monday Night Premier” BRING EM BACK also nice video :D
How many weapons??
Astraea Finsternis- *Y E S*
the other head kinda reminds me of Shockwave from Transformers
I love your videos and I'm just starting my gunpla collection and I have bought the entry Grade strike gundam but I got the box one but I do plan on getting the bag one
This is a very Decepticon looking Exia
That looks sick. 😍😍😍
Mine ships in March, can't waiiiit
if I recall that second head is based on a sort of mask unit that the original Astraea Type F had which was meant to disguise it as a gundam, not sure why they didnt just make it not look like a gundam at all but oh well
0:04 I LOVE LEANNN
Please review the metal build astray red dragon.
I would love to pilot that as a infinite stratos so yeah if you don’t know what I’m talking about I really recommend that anime/manga series of the same name.
**Heavy Breathing***
My heart and mind vs my bank account.
Mine was delayed shipping til March. Aggravating.
Wow this is badass...i love black gundam
u gonna need this 4 up coming metal build GN arms
I like your stuff. Good work kid.
Hey MG are you in on that Metal Astray Red Dragonics on P-Bandai right now?
Cant wait for a model kit of this to kitbash with normal exia and make exia 2.0
Thank goodness they have dark mode
Hope we get an HG or MG of this one day....
The mask reminds me the flauros ... looks badass... time to sell some organs then hahaha
This just gave me an hg astrea custom in mind hehe
THIS is the New God of Gundam
Astraeass/ Asstraea. Missed opportunity 😔. If I got to also put this together, I would get this NOW.
Can you do a video or short explaining the differences between Metal Build and Metal Robot Damashii?
I hope u get your hands on the metalbuild Astray red frame Kai and Red dragonics soon
999,also did anyone ask why the gloves? I kinda miss seeing the hands especially with the black nail polish it’s something I grew to respect ✊🏿!
I am soooooo mad I missed the pre-order for this one. It's almost my personal colors the only difference is the gold would be black chrome, it's soooo damn beautiful T_T
Holy mother of awesomeness 😮😮😮
Virgin Quell and Chad Astraea Finsternis.
Astrea has access to most of armaments by celestial being gundams.
I bought a bootleg from a street seller called ukay ukay in the philipines who sell old and used toys. My exia was like a bootleg i think because the leg was broken the other one was gone and the body is half only and the other arm is missing.
Hello what other backpacks will fit onto this figure? I am getting it in a few days and I'm thinking to make the backpack different. I like it larger if possible
The figures are expensive I wouldn't want to buy a figure and then it won't fit on this one.
Could you please post the mb dynames with the handguns & rifle from this to help me decide. 😀
MechaGangkotsu
VINDICATION!!!🔥🔥🔥
After watching this, it pretty much confirms that it has all the accessories of the Astraea type F with some nice extras and a great paint scheme. Can’t wait to get mine! Honestly if you loved this, give one of the Crossbone metal builds a try. I’ve got them all and they are amazing, with plenty of accessory options!
Can you also reciew the early metalbuild example the metalbuild astray blue frame and astray red frame. thanks.
I would feel bad for you if an earthquake ever happened.
The amount of V-fins that break...
also the alt head makes it look like a Leo
just me?
Hey mecha can you review other bootleg gunpla like daban F91 and daban Astraea type F
Looks so much like the protagonist mecha of the last super robot wars 30th
Was just curious. Can the GN pistols inside the holsters attach to Dynames RIII? I noticed mine has an attachment point on the calves, the same one that we see here with Aestrea. I can see same attachment points as well, so i think we can do some sort of mix n match with the dynames and aestrea here.
The other head Reminds me of “Lockdown” from Transformers 😂
Lit color combination🔥🔥🔥
How is the joint connecting the should to the Torso?
I got the Babartos Lupus Rex metal build after watching your review and I am scared of breaking the plastic torso part holding the metal ball joint in place.
Is this just like the Lupus Rex or it feels more solid?
Shows alternate rear skirt armor
Mecha Gaikotsu: that adds a whole lot of mASS.
With that colour scheme and head shape, make me think that Soundwave already go to Gundam verse...
Which box set of Gunpla has MG detail design for beginners like the name. I like to do Wing Zero from Endless Waltz, Tallgeese 1, 3, and Fluegel.
Any advice for loose joints on a metal build?
who does the most and the best metal builds if i were to buy any.... whether it's one....or 20???
ive never gotten any metal build gundams... but i definitely have to get some... mechagaikotsu.... where do i go???
I'm curious if the hammer can be mounted on the butt plate to serve as a spiked tail weapon
that would be a pain in the ass
So that special visor is for sniping. This thing is like the 00 version of the Strike Nior
A little bit expensive is an understatement…, currently sells for $280+ without taxes.
Can you review Metal Build 00 QanT?
Wakanda Forever!!!!
Is Astraea more like spirit in Dies Irae anime owned by Riza Brenner?
They should produce metal build of other celestial beings too
