"Ruuuun it's a Gundam"
"It look like a Gundam but due to International copyright law, it's not"
good referance
STILL WE SHOULD RUN LIKE IT IS A GUNDAM!!
Lol
No it isn't. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Also applies to any in-universe non-gundam that looks like a gundam.
dude the grandaddy gundam looks like the third party kit when placed beside the judge
Mechagaikotsu: “a really awesome version of Gundam Seed Destinys forbidden Gundam”
People that have watched Seed and Seed Destiny: “should I tell him?”
He had a tendency to miss pronounce or saying things
Also he hasn't watched GSD yet
Nothing to world breaking imo
Still on episode 16! 😆
up you go,
everytime he mention it, i scratch my forehead
@@MechaGaikotsu
SEED or SEED Destiny? Forbidden is mentioned in Destiny, but officially appears in SEED episode 38.
This feels like one of those super customized versions you'd see in Build Fighters/Divers. Super cool.
Used by important side character of course.
@@shauqiharris2772 yeah cause god forbid the protagonist use a unique looking mobile suit except turn a
@@rhyssuy8361 At least the Core Gundam was pretty unique since it was only vaguely based on the RX-78
Forreal. Just imagine.
They always need a competitor to keep up the quality,
Especially the disappointing "Premium" Bandai that's mostly just lazy effort
Is it really a competitor if this is $150+? What makes Bandai so good is having low prices compared to other brands like kotobukiya, this isn't really competing with anything Bandai has and is pretty expensive. The model is cool as hell but it ain't killing Bandai anytime soon.
@@3xasfast811 the thing is that this originally had a low price, but since there is now fewer and fewer units and the fact that it is popular is what makes it $150+. It was originally, from where i live $50-60 only i think
@@setsunafseiei4480 I'm not sure because when it got announced it was above $100 to pre-order pretty much everywhere I looked, wasn't even close to $50 or $60 in the US.
@@3xasfast811 i went back to check and it was around 70-90 but it could be because i live in SEA
@@setsunafseiei4480 Yeah it was 70-90 but factor in shipping and the fact it's being imported then it being at least $100 makes sense. It's far from being a competitor even then though I'll be watching to see what else they make.
Glad to know that there is good third party kits. Mechanicore kits can give you a migraine and a rash just by looking at them
I've been asked to review a mechanicore kit a few times. I politely decline 😅
My local gunpla dealer could get them i asked him if it would be something for me,he said you'd kill me if i sold you one 😂😂😂 so yeah horror kits apparantly
@@MechaGaikotsu on one hand yeah, but on the other I'd accept hell for a mechanicore kshatryia
@@MechaGaikotsu they got a lot of fitting issues but looks amazing compare too shitdai
My issue with mechanical is while they are impressive they're a cluster fuck of details in a headache of an assembly. I built one and while the end result is very impressive I hated the experience the entire fucking way
Came back here to compare the difference of the Judge Moonlight version.. It quite improved from the original Judge as first, the yellow parts are now Gold parts, the minor fitting issues are now addressed and they added another metal handle for the scythe on the new Judge Moonlight Version.. Solid kit as is..
Oh! So that's why the kit that I bought has two metal handles.
Thank you for this info 🤗
I was wondering the same… the kit looked phenomenal now even better 😊
Was about to comment this, yea they absolutely seem to have improved upon an already golden kit with these changes
Hmm, thought it was a recolor with a slightly different look, but good to know they improved upon the original release. Probably should have started building the original instead of the moonlight ver. Oh well.
@@2010ngojo there are so many spare parts that you can make the original… the only difference is that you don’t have the decals for the dark parts =\
You should do a top twenty “test of time” and show us how some of your more worrisome builds have held up. Most curious how this one (the judge) and the Eva units hold up after so long.
Every single cent spent on this Made in China thing helps the tyrinical Chinese Communazi Party develop more deadly virus such as COVID19. Also, you don't know what kind of toxic plastic and paint they used in this toy, so I recommend all of you throw away this copycat ASAP. A whistleblower also revealed that the Communazi used all prisoners in the country as slave labor, who knows if this model kit came out from one of these slave factory.
@@aczbdk bruh chill not all chinese people are bad
@@gzuskryst3847
I said the Chinese Communist Party, not all Chinese.
@@aczbdk Dude, please get help.
With this quality, we should now recall the good old Kaiki Deishu monologues
I'm glad that this Kit is catching up in the West. As far as I know it's been released here in Asia Pacific late last year. My friend even got it back in Feb. That kit is so hard to acquire, I even hired a Middle man to scout potential sellers here.
yes! finally, you made a review about the Judge! got this in the backlog and since it’s announcement last year and have seen the photos, i know it’s gonna be awesome! thanks for this insight. kudos!
Had mine in my back log for a month now. Great review made me even more excited to build it
It's wild that this thing is "based on" the Forbidden Gundam. If we're stretching that much, the Nu Gundam is basically an RX-78. Qanta is basically just Exia. It's a totally different beast.
glad I'm not the only one tired of people saying that lol
What if I tell you that Barbatos is basically

Bruh it straight up looks like the Lightning Strike Gundam over the forbidden Gundam.
It's more of a color-scheme inspiration, let's atleast agree on that please?
The matt finish alone is a reason for me to buy this. I love this so much more than anything shiny. xD
Perfect! I just search the kit online, then here you are with fresh review!
I absolutely love how you just keep the core gundam in that mug!
I was really impressed with this kit myself. Unfortunately, Zero Gravity’s next project is an action figure. Hopefully, with the success of this kit, they’ll make another model.
Oh they definitely gonna make more model kit considering how popular the Judge is
Update, they got another kit coming, but the design imo not this good
@@fahmidaisy9322 got a name for it? I can't seem to track it down
@@alastormedial it might be the zero gravity "blood blade"
@@kadirgarib3459 that ain't a kit, it's a prebuilt figure, unfortunately
got one for $80 and cant be happier 😆 more details than PGs and stronger inner frame than RGs, better color separation than MGs ver.ka, this is a masterpiece !!!
Lucky bastard ^^
From where?
Finally, I can watch a review of a kit that I bought and have been building already. This should be good.
After watching this, the intro was an event itself. And since you mentioned GMC, I now see why you might have asked about the DM Deathscythe TV. I can't recommend the site enough, especially for prices.
And someone else FINALLY used the clear green for the vents. All the pics are of grey, so I went with green and they look so cool.
This kit looks sick. But man, even if the typos are minor, I could imagine having a complete breakdown if it doesn't work. Glad you pointed those out for future builders.
It does look great, but dang Mecha, you're real happy to say it's solid as a rock while describing all the ways it falls apart, can break, and fails to hold a pose
I guess you can say it was “forbidden” for mecha to build this kit
great review, I'm looking forward to more of these.
This is so awesome!! I can't wait to put mine together! Still debating if I should paint the white to really make it my own or leave it since it really does look so good!! This and my MG Sazabi will be my crown jewel's!
Early previews have it labelled as a figure, but I'm hoping their follow up "Blood Blade" is going to be a kit too.
Man i dont wanna mess around with this kind of judge
This is an awesome kit!! Really gives me a Gundam Age: Magnum meets Sinanju Stein meets Deathscythe (Glory of Losers) vibe, with a hint of Forbidden Gundam. Great video man!!
I really enjoyed that, thank you for such a detailed review!
Love your review, great job!
Didn’t you get one?
@@radianceakatheradiantmeepl1004 No... I got two.
I think my one thing I'd want to see is a 6 months later/year later, see if it possibly has any the sagging issues other gunpla-type sets can have.
I'm building this model kit at the moment, I've built many bandai kits previously, and the judge really does kick ass. Great kit. Thanks for the vid that pointed me in the direction of the kit.
If you're considering this kit and can afford the extra premium, it's worth it 👍
Btw keep up the good work man, because of you i khow what kits i need to buy
Thx
I really love the overall design and look of this mecha, but I am put off by apparent quality control issues and design flaws, such as the hip joint mixing die-cast, and plastic. That's a big NO for action figures/model kits.
Considering these go for $200 PLUS now, I’m on the fence. If they were still closer to $90-$120, I’d be more inclined. Hard for me to pull the trigger on something that costs more than 4 MG’s and the first thing I see in the sales description is “NECK JOINT IS FRAGILE AND CAN SOMETIMES ARRIVE ALREADY BROKEN IN THE BOX - DO NOT ORDER IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU”. $200 for a potentially broken kit right out of the box? I’ll pass and pick up 5 Bandai MG kits personally.
This is the largest spit thrown to Bandai yet since Dragon Momoko's SEED Destiny suits and Supernova's Wing suits lol
RIP Dragon Momoko, we missed you
Are the SM SEED Destiny kits any good? Asking for a friend
Dragon Momoko gave us Testament before Bandai did. Dragon Momoko also gave us Astray Out Frame, which is still one of my favorite MS look wise, and Bandai hasn't.
@@raibyo DM strike was so good that now people even willing to pay for it even if the price was tripled
@@MechaGaikotsu If your friend wants to try them out, their Heavybois are a fricking joy buildwise and in looks! Built two myself (one bc of the Igel unit added) :D
Edit: read you asking about the SN Wing kits*
Very thorough review Mecha Gaikotsu. Now, I would like to buy one for myself.
YOOOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
13:00 The legally forbidden gundam. It is forbidden by copyright law.
If there was a regular mastergrade of this guy with this same exact design i would have bought it already not even 10 seconds into the video he looks so bad ass
My goodness I really like this kit.Thanks for the review was great
oddly enough the HiRM line is partially manufactured in China by Bandai's branch over there especially the inner-frame, also took me time to realize there is no official 1/100 Forbidden Gundam kit or figure.
Not even a old 1/100 or hg?
I pre-ordered one from usa gundam and it took 4 months to get to me. A fucking lolvely kit and once painted, so many details
GMC and USA Gundam have the same supplier. Except GMC gets them first in China and ship to USA using DHL e-packet. It takes about 2 weeks at most.
@@roastpork5437 Sorry for the random question, but you don't happen to have the GMC link to the Zero Gravity Judge model kit? I've been searching through the site and I just can't find it :s It doesn't show up even when I search for it. It showed up instantly on USA Gundam though.
That is one gorgeous looking mecha! Now I want to see someone kit-bash some gundams to make this.
Yesssss more other type and brands of Plamo kit reviews please!!!
Humanity can create very, very wonderful and sturdy things.
Bandai has refined a cost-benefit process of giving you 'good enough' for low enough a price. If you haven't noticed, everything is made with planned obsolescence, especially stuff like clothes, electronics and vehicles. That's why this is so much better.
This is like when fans are not satisfied with what Bandai gives them, so they make their own.
@@raibyo Definitely a labor of love, yeah.
Ummmm...forbidden gundam appears on gundam seed (without) destiny
Very detailed review love it
I just got into building model kits a few months ago cuz of the Xenoblade 2 Siren model. Got a few gunpla kits as well as the Moonlight version of this thing and it's easily my favorite so far. I've never even watched any gundam until just now getting into the witch from mercury so I legit didn't even realize for a while that it wasn't even a real gundam. It just felt so quality that I never questioned it. One really bizarre thing that happened with mine tho is several of the runners when I was opening it all had dog hairs with them inside the sealed plastic packaging. Like how does that even happen? And it wasn't just like 1 or 2 of them, it was like at least 5. Besides that, the moonlight version is particularly gorgeous. The shade of yellow on the default kit looks a bit out of place so them swapping it for gold instead was a HUGE improvement. The gold does so much for it. 10/10 model.
This is like the OnePlus of Gunpla
Well, back when OnePlus was still considered a flagship-killer
Let's see how bandai changes the game with the next coming months and years! Let's see if this can be _formally_ known as the bandai killer.
@@depshallburn inb4 their "game change" is cease and desists
let's see what bandai would do about this, sues the company or make up their mind and upgrade their product lines like a chad
Bandai would probably sue.
@@blastingmaxemes7099 It's been more than a year and Bandai did not take any action so I don't think so.
@@pangzhiyu8098 Bandai's percentage of suing is low but never zero.
之前中国也有一个类似于零重力的厂商，他们把广告打到了日本，然后他们被万代起诉了，现在他们的盗版模型已经不能被原价购买了，这个牌子叫龙桃子，我觉得只要零重力不那么自大狂妄把广告放在日本，万代是不会管的
Honestly i am waiting for mecha to review judge and at last here it is!!!
I was waiting for this video
This thing is a beauty; and yeah I can confirm HMM Zoids are event kits; I’ve built three and they were all the longest builds I’ve done and you will need some extra effort on some parts
The first one I got (Liger Zero) took me almost 10 hours to finish...and I did it all in one sitting 😆 also the Panzer armor alone took me like 3 hours.
Question: Can Mechagaikotsu even survive couple of hours or even weeks building a Mechanicore Ziegler(3rd party perfect zeong) without destorying his mind?
Or better yet, rip his wallet.
@Mecha Gaikotsu do you know where i could purchase the skirt piece for the metal frame? Mine is missing one of the skirt pieces so when i build the kit i wont be able to attach one of the skirt pieces.
Its my first time seeing zero gravity judge is so amazing
Im gonna prepare my gunpla kit to buy zero gravity judge and removing those numbs
And stress numb just in case and i admire your video i subscribe your channel and turn on notification
I'll will wait for new video and god bless you
At least Bandai has the Multicolored runners. I'm guessing they are the only company that uses this technology.
Bandai is the only company which has a market big enough for them to sustain the use of the multi color injection molding machine. (and they are the only one who uses not two, not three, but four coloured injection molding machine)
How about Kotobukiya?
@@tomvhresvelg9286 Their plastic is too fragile to even have multi colored runners.
One of the nice things about this figure is that it's less likely to get hit with a copyright strike. Yes, it's BASED on the forbidden gundam, but that's all that is. A base. So many aspects of the design were changed. The armour, the backpack, the weapons, the head, and the colour. I'm sure there's even more. Because of this, BANDAI can't claim that this figure is a copy of the forbidden gundam, as there are too many differences to call them the same.
Plus, the instructions don't even tell you how to put on the Gundam V-fins on the head.
Shit of anything it looks more like an astray design with after colony gundam flares
whatever it is, I'm all for it. the design is wicked. This is why I appreciate third parties, most of the time, they look more menacing.. something like a resin kit would achieve with it's conversions.
What are you talking about? The shoulder , arms, torso, knee armors are copied from the metalbuild strike freedom. Something obviously you are not aware of. And the design itself is a representation of a Gundam. Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. This is nothing but a bootleg
@@rogueagent0191 The shoulder, arms, torso and knee armor has some similarities but are also very different from MB SF. I know because I have the MB SF.
I rarely saw Mecha reviewing non-bandai (gundam) kits, maybe never.
so when I saw once, the kit must be awesome.
and yes, you'll never regret getting the JUDGE
Just bought 1 today because of your awesome review!
You should review more third party kits. not necessarily the bootleg ones of course, but some hidden gems like the A.T.K girls and the recent Megaman Zero third party ones from Dimension Studios
ATK girls are nice. The closest we have to actual MS Girls.
Yo mecha guy have you checked out the ATK Girl 1/12 model kits?
Their basicaly framearms girls
Bet he'll be impressed with White Tiger backpack too.
He'll love Qin Long too.
I love the Baihu and Xuanwu, but Qin Long was the best looking for me. Can't wait for Zhuque to come.
@@mechalinkergaming7169 But Magatsuki is better. Especially without armors.
Hope to see the side by side with the Freedom 2.0, but awesome review Mech as always!
Just built my first bandai kit (Neon Genesis Eva 1). Wasn't sure which Gundam to go with, wasn't too blown away by any. Saw this. Purchased it immediately. Thanks haha.
Isn't the main section of the back pack the gold frame amatsu mina 's backpack?
@@Gunpla_shrimp it's a similar shape could be same for all I know I have only seen pictures
@@garousama3534 Not the same at all
How the fuck did you think it was Amatsu Mina's backpack?
NO
I snagged the first run of this kit for $60 USD off Taobao when it first dropped. Great bang for buck.
You can still get it for $80 or $90 USD off Taobao right now. (but because shipping is stopped so all overseas orders are not accepted, sad face)
Just got a re-issued version of this kit. They now make both of the scythe handles with die-cast and the two scythes are complete set. No more missing parts. Did not finish the build yet but the kit looks great so far. One issue they didn’t address tho was the hip joint. It’s still a ball joint. It seems tight but I’m not sure how well it will hold up against that giant backpack.
Is it compatible with bandai parts (as many of thwir model kits are) or do you need to put in extra effort if you want to modify it with bandai parts?
That Zero Gravity Judge model kit is a *scythe* to see.
I’ll see myself out the door.
Let me open the door
...ehhhh.....=w=;;
WhatisNot
@Ernest Jhan Anesuto “Ok Thank you”
* *SYCTHE* * _closing the door_
“I’m staying here”
Gravity Zero: there's nothing that says a fake can't pass a genuine one, now do you have enough Hi-res stored inside?
*Unlimited blade works theme plays*
Bandai: ONORE!!ONOREE!!ONOREEE
I always see that kit but I am hesitating. Thanks for the review!
FINALLY! THE AMBASSADOR FOR ASYMMETRIC CATS IS MENTIONED! I can sleep at night now. Thank you, MG.
Forbidden is from OG SEED, not destiny. This looks nothing like it btw, not sure where everyone’s getting that idea.
Nice to see mecha has finally dropped being a "Bandai purist" to get this badass kit. Now that he has had a taste of third party, wonder if he'll consider the SuperNova Wing Kits in the future 🤔
Most third party kits suck ass- this isn't MGs first run on them.
Bandai has certainly affected the craft recently... p bandai is still a scam though
I haven't touch my backlog in a while because I just sort of lost interest...now clicking back on Mecha gaikotsu's video, hearing his enthusiasm and seeing some cool kit makes me want to start getting a box to build.
I’ve been waiting for this
I know that you haven't really watched the anime series but the FORBIDDEN GUNDAM came from Mobile Suit Seed under the Alliance. Just FYI✌️
Mecha Gaikotsu: "This is High-Resolution Gunpla done right"
Bandai HiRM fans: "Are you kidding me?!?!?"
He's not wrong. I got mine through preorder on the first batch. Worth every penny.
It is. Buy it and experience the kit yourself
Super awesome kit
Finally finished mine. one word to describe this 'GUNDAM'. Stunning!!!
I think this is my favorite video of yours so far, i love looking at this thing i wish it could be in 1/144 scale though
ITS A- due to copyright not gundam.
This actually looks more like the upcoming Eclipse Gundam than the Forbidden…
The eclipse looks to me like Kyrios
Wow... Just... Wow... I hope i can build that, cheers from indonesia ! Its been hell cause the pandemic here.. i hope you guys always healty ! Watching your video makes me remember not give up my dreams to build gunpla, thanks
I would love to see more inspired or alternatively designed kits of Gundam models in the future
When you don’t want to get copy righted by Bandai so you just rename the model kit
It’s not Gundam it’s gunDAM
I still remember when Sunrise used to canonise exeptional third party takes (such as MSV) on Mobile Suits. Those days are long gone.
@@pangzhiyu8098 *looks at Naoki's Gundams getting actual model kits by Bandai*
They still do actually. Also, MSV are traditionally made by official sources themselves.
@@StrikeNoir105E Actually, the very first MSVs are fan made and after that Sunrise saw an opportunity and thus started releasing MSVs themselves.(this is under the context of the early 1980s where Zeta is not out yet and Sunrise needed something to continue the Gunpla rush)
Alternative title : *roasting bandai hirm line for 34 minutes straight*
Just ordered mine! I cannot wait to get this
this is absolutely the most gorgeous kit I have ever seen
You know the third party is really good when Mechagaikotsu decided to review it
I never thought you'd do a third party kit
like you never even bothered even one single dragon momoko kit
A lot of Dragon Momoko kits are bootlegs or Bandai's model kits or metal build, except for their Testament and Astray Out Frame, which are now super hard to find, and both of which, I have.
@@raibyo And they are really good kit unlike Daban or TT Hongli
@@Lucivius27 Depends on which kit though. Daban's Metal Build style Astray Red Frame is quite good. Actually, most of later Daban kits are quite good.
I’ve got the DM Tallgeese III, and it’s visually very amazing, but man is that thing FRAGILE
ive been waited this for like a month
I just bought one can't wait to see this baby up close!
I feel like you're gonna have a lesser opinion of this kit the longer you own it similar to the HiRM Barbatos.
When the review is good no one will bother to point out it is made in China and is kind of “pirated product” 😏
If it's original moulding and design it's hardly pirated is it lol
@@SardonicCrows it's always the copyright issue that matters. likewise, you won't see any "original" bricks toy that is compatible with Lego.
Are you going to put this on your 2021 best gundam kits because I don’t know if this would technically be on it because the third party seller so I don’t know you tell me
I still pannel lined it with grey from tamya and it still pops right of the shelf. A MASTERPIECE I say to you. Cheerz
this looks so badass
Mecha: "It's pretty solid"
Also Mecha: "This part sometimes falls off"
Also Mecha again: "This part also sometimes falls off"
...
Sometimes the *BOOTLEG* has better quality over the original
For it to be a bootleg, it must be a copy of something. But this is designed from the ground up with some inspirations from Forbidden Gundam. So, you can't really call it a bootleg.
You can tighten the lower waist joint by tightening the 2 screws around the ball joint there.
You can loosen the hip shifting mechanism by loosening the screws in the hip
Perfect kit!
