This. This is what I'd like to see, detailed but not overkill. Design is still tame and modest with no unnecessary sharp pointy parts here and there, faithful to how a gp02 should look, modernized to today's standards. While I am still thinking that the motors are deemed unecessary (personal preference), the rest of the kit is definitely a threat level to bandai's laziness. Price is subjective, but for a kit like this, it's definitely worth the bucks you spent. Really glad I jumped the gun to preorder. Go get 'em solomon, amaze us with your next project. I'll be supporting as long as the engineering and the quality is to be kept consistently.
very much this! alot of the 3rd party kits have gone the way of the Eclipse Gundam with the spikes and dramatic lines lol. Hopefully Solomon could give us more of the GP series (would kill for a GP00!)

@@razrafz yup, totally get what you refer to, as I saw the whole vid myself but what I actually meant is the design inclusion of the motor unit.

Wouldn't be surprised if they do the whole line of gp series,the only thing that's bound to happen is bandai decided to hit them and this was their one and only kit
RX-78GP02A is one of those cool mecha (like MS-18E Kämpfer) that never seem to get the MG 2.0 treatment. Well, here is Solomon to the rescue; they decided to make an MGEX version! I hope they'll never get quashed like Dragon Momoko. I already have this on pre-order, can't wait for their next projects.
There is no way Bandai would spend the money or effort to make a PG/MGEX grade of GP02, so fans of GP02 should be grateful for this even if it is not licensed.
Absolutely crazy how bandai has dropped the ball on the stardust MS for the last few decades. These guys showed what you can do with a dedicated team at a fraction of bandai's resources, and they did it damn well, its about time the gunpla market got some competition. I hope they stick around for a long while
Deez Nuts, Bandai will sell this like PBandai MGEX LE supreme. Hope they remake other kits, Physalis not my type but this is a example of top tier engineering.
GP02A is my favorite Gundam ever. It started it all when I first saw it in store, 1999. But I was a kid back then, no money. Bandai never released 2.0, so I managed to scoop this yesterday without second thoughts. Let's hope Solomon can continue with GP01 & GP03.
there isnt such thing as Bandai loyalists. But the maker has been doing some dirty shxt that is leaving a bad taste in the mouth. They played short in stock and they tried to hike the price.
That's what happens when your company has the drive to innovate and compete, doesn't get lazy, and doesn't have to cut corners to constantly make *even more money* than the year before to make shareholders happy. Engineers work on things they WANT to work on, and there is no demand-from-the-top pushing them to cut corners at every turn to make deadlines or margins. And as a result, they do better work overall.
Because bandai is stupid, ignoring alot of kits that need 2.0. If bandai is lazy, better licence the IP to 3rd party Chinese company, Chinese modelkot technology is the same or mybe better then bandai technology.
And if the multi billion dollar company Bandai would make something like this, it would be an UltraMGEX priced at 200-300 dollars in Japan, upwards of 400 in the west
@@kamenxxx9037 don't know how good the laws will protect them from it but hopefully not soon. I just learnt they did the same thing with MG Astray Outframe D
glad i grabbed this one, fingers crossed it ends up getting shipped too... the kit looks solid and i hope it wont be too destructive/difficult to wire your own green led for the head with aux power as the one it comes with is indeed dim and once again those pesky batteries...
What I like about this company is, they make the kit from a plamo fan, for a fan...not like bandai nowadays, all they care is about money...premium there, premium here, ...back to their colonial mindset
Man, I wanted to pre-order mine. But hot damn they keep selling out of the damn thing as soon it gets restocked. All I know I better get one before Bandai decides to place a cease and desist order on the small company "Solomon". I mean come on think about it with the amount of attention this 3rd party MG Gunpla kit is getting on RUclips. Its only a matter of time before Bandai takes notice.😅
I wish Solomon Model makes the rest of the GP series from 0083....Heck if they can do this for other mobile suits like the DOM or RX93 or even the Sazabi please continue
Bandai is crying right now lol 2023 is bad year for bandai because they're releasing kits that we dont need, recycling features and dumb choices. I hope this 2024 again year for bootleg gunpla. Let's go! China is always all out for releasing this kind of kits.
I was curious if this was a kit or a toy due to all of the complex gimmicks. Im shocked to find out its a kit. I want one super bad anyone know where i can get one herebin the States?
I was kinda disappointed with the beam saber effect since most bootleg companies tends to make extra effects to sell, and just basing it off the pic alone. but the innerframe, open hatch, joint lock, bazooka gimmick mann im soo glad i preordered this.
Good news: insane quality, affordable price Bad news: not convenient to buy outside of mainland China, may be sued and disappear from the market sometime

In Thrust We Trust...
The engineering on this is insane!
Better than mgex 😅
This is a great message to Bandai: Give us what we want!!! (A GP02 2.0). Since you didn't someone else did and now they will get my money!
Even when they made a 2.0 of this kit I doubt it will be this good. Sure the build will be better, but the features won't be nearly as close as this.
3:39 They even made a solution for the arms not to sag with such huge shoulders. There's no excuse for Bandai not making a MG Kshatriya now.
That would take up a lot of shelf space lol
@@Dr.Alligator if Bandai can make THAT MG Kshatriya, everyone can make some space for it, haha
hope they release gp01 & gp03 with this level of awesomeness
this kit itself has cause a lot of mental meltdowns among the bandai loyalist
there isnt such thing as Bandai loyalists. But the maker has been doing some dirty shxt that is leaving a bad taste in the mouth. They played short in stock and they tried to hike the price.

Solomon pulled a Thanos " I'll do it myself", and wow they knocked it out of the park.
Hope Solomon not end like Dragon Momoko, they really making good improve kit compare to Original. Pretty sure Bandai already search for them.
haha, because they really embarassed Bandai.
Imagine if Bandai sued Solomon and confiscated all the molds. The same kit will be resold in 5 years later as a p-bandai and worths 15,000 yen 😂
then resellers in the U.S. would have no choice and charge you 450 dollars for this P-bandai
man i can totally imagine this to happen. Bandai's been treating MG like shit lately, it almost feels a joke
so try to buy this from taobao ASAP and have it sailed to USA

@@dvltang871 gundamit
The only thing that this needs is leds in the thrusters, cockpit and all set.
Looks freakin sick. Thank you for the review. Love your reviews!
I'd like China to make a 1:100 scale Airmaster Gundam and Leopard Gundam for us. Thank you in the future if the developers of this Gundam see it.
Your choice of music got you a sub!
Now listen bandai this is what a true master grade should feel and look like.
Beautiful 3rd party kit that I've ever seen
If bandai makes this it wouldn’t even been a MGEX, the amount of gimmicks in this thing would be easily slapped in the PGU line with 500+usd price tag
Are the parts undergated or does it required a good amount of cleaning?
This cost as much as a regular mg release from bandai, and I'm all for it
I wish more attention was paid to the thrusters.
This kit is a true masterpiece to must have. Great review, thanks.
I pre ordered 2. One for me and one for my grand grand son.
Nightmare of solo-mom
this is what a MGEX Gundam Physalis would look like. wish I could get my hands on this one.
this looks very cool, the bazooka gimmick are lit
Awesome!!!! I hope you always put subtitles on your MG model reviews.
If it's affordable enough i may pick it up to go with the o.g. for a cool then and now sort of vibe.
its like 40USD or $69 where I live
如果模型的外殼透明件，
能做到塗油才透明，不塗就是迷霧磨砂接近不透

I'm guessing that it can't hold the shield on its own like Bandai😅?
Hello I'm fan of your reviews but never i seen you posted your favourite builds. Hope someday you'll make a video about it. Great video always
BANDAI COULD NEVER 😛
What do you mean about quality control? Did it have any damage when you receive the box? Is the plastic on a brittle side? Like easily snappes?
Yes, according to others, the plastic is pretty fragile compared to Bandai’s. So some of them may be broken due to the transportation
nah those features are insane...
What would doing the build be like for someone that doesn't regularly build 3rd party kits?
I've already preordered. Can't wait for mine
Marvellous
