I can very much attest to its awesomeness...Easily one of the best proportioned and well-made smaller scale model from the SEED era. only 2-3 seamlines that are really noticable, but they dont really take away from the whole picture esp with the shiny stickers on. Thanks for the review.
Well, Stargazer wasn't designed to be a weapon so it's expected that its armament sucks. Besides, who needs beam rifle when you have a beam absorbing, infinite accelerating solar ring.
looks great and great review like always! When rotating with the energy rings, it gives out the effect of the rings actually spinning around the stargazer which is really cool!
There's one more pose you missed; you can lift the ring above its head to make it appear like a halo. In this pose the green rings would also have better mobility having no obstruction in the Stargazers backpack.
It's funny how I commented on this review over a year ago (with an old account) and I just got this kit today. A few months ago I did end up watching the ovas and while short, I really liked them and I'm not being very original when I say that IMO it's the best C.E. animated thing (I wish they adapted Seed Astray into a full series though). Anyway, after watching it, I think that Stargazer truly is a leading gundam, at the same level if not much more than the QAN[T]. I hope someday it gets a MG.
Having the Gundam with the green rings on the turntable sorta gives an optical illusion that makes it even cooler... Keep up the cool reviews coming rrobbert184.
I've loved the Stargazer since played SRWK, so I'm glad to hear the HG kit is awesome. My only problem is that I'll wanna buy 2 or 3 for the gold and black lining and pose options.
@mrbadwolf00 They come with the kit, you can either put the gold/rainbow sticker or black sticker since they give you two. I know cause I just bought them ^^
Wow 3:15 it gives the illusion that they're moving SO COOL. Lol always when you mention it has no balance issues the model tends to fall :D. Great review. Base overkill :P.
An interesting review as always. Do you know if the green parts 'glow' when the model is lit by a black-light. If they do glow, I would imagine that would be quite the sight.
Hey robert, the gold/rainbow esk shining parts in the suit are those stickers or something else? If so do they come with the kit or did you have to purchase it separately somewhere else?
I wish this kit wasn't so hard to find. well, for me anyway. =/. Thanks for the great review, rrobbert. 3 bases ftw! (4 if you count the ring when out of use)
I like the Stargazer kit too, I bought it a long ago and it is one of the cooler gundams to have. Problem i had with mine was some of the stickers were annoying to put on and odd ones like the front skirt on the right side wanted to come off slightly so i super glued it... As to your G Vs. G comment, check out Gundam Seed Destiny Omni vs Zaft 2 Plus for the PS2... Stargazer and Strike Noir are unlockable in that game... frankly, play as Strike Noir is better than Stargazer
I have this kit!! Got it for $20 at China town, but it didn't have a ticket, those basterds!! Anyways, I recommend this kit, it's very unique, and it looks great! I also have the 1/144 Strike Noir, which is also a bang for your buck kit.
Despite being the titular Gundam of its own ONA, the Stargazer is neither a lead Gundam, nor an even combat-capable one in the first place (its cheap beam gun is because it faced a very situational event that warranted something to defend itself with). Yeah, really one of those weird types.
I love how the rotating base goes so well with all the rings and speaking of the rings, does anyone see the resemblance between the Stargazer and Lady Gaga in this video: watch?v=Vz9cSZXeuWQ she even has her own rotating base LOL!
Yeah the gun sucks...in the Gundam Seed Destiny Z.A.F.T. vs Alliance II Plus game the stargazer gundam is pretty much useless... but Strike Noir had incredible firepower lol why am I talking about a game...
the stargazer gundam really needs a master grade or at least an RE100 version. this could have been the new ver ka. but no, we got ankther zeta instead. bandai continues to disappoint us.

"I could stare at this for hours." Me too, its a cool ilussion that the effect parts are moving on the rotating base.

Needs to be a mastergrade. Stargazer needs more love.
Mark Mejia Maybe it will get the RE treatment.
i dont mind RE. Heck even stargazer revive.
if it isnt an MG it will surely be sticker heavy kit.
Mark Mejia true we need a MG stargazer
Fuck yeah it does. You’re right on both counts!
Well, Stargazer wasn't designed to be a weapon so it's expected that its armament sucks. Besides, who needs beam rifle when you have a beam absorbing, infinite accelerating solar ring.
It's great to find pleasant surprises like this model kit. I think my favourite aspect is the articulation found in the accessories.
looks great and great review like always!
When rotating with the energy rings, it gives out the effect of the rings actually spinning around the stargazer which is really cool!
One of my favorite kits!! A MG of the Stargazer would be amazing but I doubt we will get one.
Great review, the HG Stargazer looks better than I thought. The turn base really adds alot to your reviews, nice.
There's one more pose you missed; you can lift the ring above its head to make it appear like a halo. In this pose the green rings would also have better mobility having no obstruction in the Stargazers backpack.
with the ring in "flying mode" it reminds me of the sandrock
its really trippy watching the green rings as you rotate the models. its as if they're moving...

i just finshed putting this one together. and like you i was also surprised at how good looking it was when completed . worth every penny

You just confirmed my decision to get Stargazer. Thanks...its soo cool looking O.O

Stargazer is my all time favorite Gundam! It would be really great if Bandai made a Master Grade of this Gundam!
I think you'd also like the SD version. It's just so cute.
Thanks to this review I now want this gundam. Most likely I will pick this up on my next gunpla splurge.
Wow 3:15 it gives the illusion that they're moving SO COOL. Lol always when you mention it has no balance issues the model tends to fall :D. Great review. Base overkill :P.
"Mountain goat jumping off a mountain sorta way."
Your imagination has no bounds.
loooks like the sandrock gundam with it's solar sail like that.
1.09 that smile face :D
This and quanta just goes together!
+Chris Klompe they make being green look easy
i love how you are using the rotating stand to review your models ^^
i wish u made a review on the verde buster gundam.. because not many ppl made a review on tat gundam
I just got this. Agreed to all you said. This is indeed a great HG kit. I'm more happy with this than the HGUC ZZ.
One of the best hg's and coolest looking gundams it emits this Nobel look... Bandai I demand a MG or a RG forget about the seed gundams
An interesting review as always. Do you know if the green parts 'glow' when the model is lit by a black-light. If they do glow, I would imagine that would be quite the sight.
a MG version would be great. BTW can you see through that zaku mask
hmmm be cool to have the one that leans forward but instead of haveing his back up have him looking up if possible
where did you get the rotating base ? Nice models btw I just started watching your stuff.
Hey robert, the gold/rainbow esk shining parts in the suit are those stickers or something else? If so do they come with the kit or did you have to purchase it separately somewhere else?
I wish this kit wasn't so hard to find. well, for me anyway. =/. Thanks for the great review, rrobbert. 3 bases ftw! (4 if you count the ring when out of use)
okay i have the shia Qan gundam the one from build fighters try island war and i wanted to ask how could i mix the star gazers ring with it??
I like the Stargazer kit too, I bought it a long ago and it is one of the cooler gundams to have.

I just love the Kit, way to go for an MG.
Do u have any strike freedom models? I have yet to see a review
This kit is perfect!
Sadly, its alil hard to unpluck stuff when its in place.
I broke the outer ring =( Sobs sobs.
The only thing holding me from this is the amount of stickers.
This guy needs to see MG
I mixed matched the stickers by accident...
"Hey, I've got a big ring on my back". Haha.
hey can u review the astry mirage gundam?
I havent bought the kit because I'm also waiting for the 1/100 ^^
luv the rotating base. =P
For what it's worth, the 1/100 bootleg is awesome.
Is this a good Gunpla kit to start with? Because I love the idea of an exploration Gundam :-)
it was my first one
I have this kit!! Got it for $20 at China town, but it didn't have a ticket, those basterds!! Anyways, I recommend this kit, it's very unique, and it looks great! I also have the 1/144 Strike Noir, which is also a bang for your buck kit.
where did you buy the spinning stand? thanks
i do wanna see an mg stargazer
Where can i buy it for 600 yen? ( 6$ usa?)
I hate buying models at malls its usualy a bit over priced
after seeing this i might get this one!! thnx!
meaning still no rumors?
OH i thoguth he said 600 ROFL but anyways, where does he get his gundams?
the stargazer is in gundam extreme vs full burst =)
0:25
Hidden mickey ?
Despite being the titular Gundam of its own ONA, the Stargazer is neither a lead Gundam, nor an even combat-capable one in the first place (its cheap beam gun is because it faced a very situational event that warranted something to defend itself with). Yeah, really one of those weird types.
@kaioraven Prime92's a her? I always thought she was a boy with an unbroken voice
I love how the rotating base goes so well with all the rings and speaking of the rings, does anyone see the resemblance between the Stargazer and Lady Gaga in this video: watch?v=Vz9cSZXeuWQ
she even has her own rotating base LOL!
@rerhyme
so u too believed that there will be a 1/100?
i want this become MG,,,dear bandai
