I'm I the only one that absolutely loved the shot with the two core Gundam hanging off the big guy? Cuz that was weirdly adorable. Definitely a good looking zeon type suit, may have to pick one up myself.
Despite the thrusters lookin' like armored propane tanks, the suit looks wicked cool...but it looks like it would be more at home in blue like the Gouf & Kämpfer or in brown like Cima's Gelgoog Marine.
The irony is the novel predates War in the pocket and Stardust memory albeit in a different design (by Zeorymer mechanical designer before we got the redesign we're familiar with)
this honestly looks like some kind of alien youd see in destiny or something. I LOVE the organic lines and skintone armor. It has the feel of like,, trying to intimidate the enemy by painting your face like a skull
That's a big ol' boy of a gunpla for 1/144 scale! It's been on my list for a while and I'm looking to personalize it. Nice looking and the size is perfect. Thank you much for the video in this big guy!
the size looks really good for the price....is it heavy and filled with plastic on the inside...? because if it is,i would definitely buy one when i buy the upcoming zaku...
@@HighGuarder i don't care about an inner frame in a hg...i just want it to have some descent weight so that it doesn't feel light and hollow when i pose it
The pose with the two core gundams hanging off of its arms has convinced me to buy this thing at some point. That and literally everything else about the kit...
This is probably the first insta-purchase I've made just based on looks! It does look amazing, albeit a cross between Hulkbuster suit and a WH40K Terminator Marine. Looking forward to scribing up the relatively plain panels. The only weak-looking area is the size of the rear thrusters - I may upgrade those. Many thanks for the review - as comprehensive as ever :-)
The fact that they call it the “Type-F01” makes me wonder if they’re planning on using new versions of the Messer in future works post HF. I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it, the Messer is an awesome design.
From what I've seen personally, there is gonna be a commander version of it. Personally this is one of the suits I do not mind to have variants because it is already awesome in the first place.
I could have sworn I have said this before... The Messer is built on the Geara Doga frame and is actually a 'Hero' Mobile Suit. Think of it being treated akin to the Sazabi.
I almost ordered this today but decided to spring for the Penelope instead. Might have to go back for this chunky boi at some point though, looks awesome!
Honestly, the thing I did when I built my messer was I used a gundam metallic gold paint marker to do the yellow sticker sections. Frankly, it turned out quite nice, and oddly fit the unit quite well.
This kit looks awesome.. Did i just saw a 2nd set of thrusters ? The ab crunch design looks great compared to that of RG Nu which has a gaping hole. The upper thigh joint for is not an issue. For a big MS, I would be surprised if it has that may articulation..
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know. But on average, a Licking Machine made at Purdue needed 364.
It has pretty much the reverse attachment point for backpacks. 2 pegs that stick out instead of holes. I need to organize my stuff better to actually have some accessories on hand instead of buried away in boxes.
what a bizarre design, i'm excited to see how people mod theirs to work with other parts! no worries man, i know the struggle with a big collection, there's only so many places in your house to put your extra parts!
Haven't touched gunpla in forever but I might just have to pick one of these up. I remember seeing its lineart years ago when I was delving into Late UC/post-CCA and really wanting a kit for it, but the only way to get one was a resin kit for a Jagd Doga.
Thanks for this review. Is the HG Gustav Karl around the same size as the Messer? I'm thinking of a possible diorama with a few GK's and a Messer. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Me in America suffering from the shipment delay of Japan and Bandai. Have yet to receive my Messer and Gundam Beyond Global kits but hve been rest assured that they'll be in by the end of the month.
Hello mecha gaikotsu.. im a rookie and a new comer in building gunpla. But im just wondering what kind of panel marker u use for panel lining? Or is it the ordinary panel marker?
I had no idea this was gonna be such a big boy. I kind of want it but now that I know the shelf economy we're talking about I might have to think longer about it.
Just saw a old Video that you burn down Wing Zero with Heavy Topcoat. Just wondering if you can light it up with high power laser. (cuut Hmmm: For safety only)
I definitely missed out on getting this kit. I instead got the Tertium and Seltsam arms, even though after a couple months after ordering it I’m starting to feel some exhaustion from building Gundam’s. I’d much rather build something weirder like this lol
16:06 that buff uncle with his nephews
Or a father with his two children
Or even a grandpa and his two grandsons!
The chad Messer really does have a very beautiful design it hits all the spots for me. I am very weak for a stocky and big MS so it is a definite buy
I see you have good taste in gunpla
Where can I find your pro pic cuz *RX 78 with covid mask* isn't helping at all
Im only doing thicc kits lately lol.
yeah, i think it is a definite buy
but can the back of the messer being kitbash by some other kit backpack's?
When the kit itself looks BETTER than the box art :)
I think you have an extra 'itself' there

you just gave Bandai p-idea.

Give me one in the titans color scheme and I'll buy 12
Char Aznable: *ANGERY*
I just love how they made the commander antenna and the wide open hands P Bandai exclusive.
Haven't seen a HG Box this THICC since the HG Perfectibility... and that boy is an old school MG Box
It's called Messer but doesn't come with a single knife...
Missed opportunity right there.
There should be some weapon kits that includes a knife if that makes you happy.
More like a messer opportunity amirite imo fam
@@dankotocigl8671 HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
it is the knife
Should come with a plane
Speaking of being jealous, the *always bulky Zaku III* doesn't look too bulky anymore compared to the Messer XD
Funny thing is its more based on a Geara Doga (and Geara Zulu) then a Zaku III
hmmmm
@@MaxHDAvenger funnier thing is that the Geara Doga is based on the Zaku III
Sazabi and the Geara Doga had a baby called the Messer?

theres that one crusader sitting at home who sees this and loads his lmg with religious intent.
Nice to see a different Kit that isn’t a Gundam! Looks great!
I’ve always liked big buff mech suits!
I just watched the movie on Netflix!
And now i need to get this thing!
I would like more Zeon looking kits and remasters
Mecha: This is one big and awesome high grade kit.
Odysseus gundam: Are you sure about that?
It just my though, mono eye family ms realy not much need to move their head to look sideway. For most of it i think, except ms like dom maybe
Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this comment and fucking died.
Why turn its head when you can turn its eye?
turning the eye is way cooler tho
the head is an absolute masterpiece. Reminds me so much of the older zeon and the UC series zeon designs
the size looks really good for the price....is it heavy and filled with plastic on the inside...? because if it is,i would definitely buy one when i buy the upcoming zaku...
ᄋᄋᄋ what? Do you mean like an inner-skeleton?
What is the actual size?
I own Gustav Karl so it should be same.

I feel like a custom build of this model, doing painting, custom metal parts, and detailed parts would look pretty good
after 2 years of waiting, mine has finally arrived, cant wait
You're in for a treat! One of the best HGs I've ever built!
The fact that they call it the “Type-F01” makes me wonder if they’re planning on using new versions of the Messer in future works post HF.
I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it, the Messer is an awesome design.
There are leftover parts to make other variants but you need 2 box of these to make the Me-02R Messer from SD G Generation.
From what I've seen personally, there is gonna be a commander version of it.
Personally this is one of the suits I do not mind to have variants because it is already awesome in the first place.
@@casvalcat3546 u're wrong bro the leftover parts are just the same parts that's attached to the kits
I wonder the commander variant of the messer is a P-BANDAI sometime in the future
@@casvalcat3546 oh yeah sorry bro i didn't check that earlier 😅
I could have sworn I have said this before... The Messer is built on the Geara Doga frame and is actually a 'Hero' Mobile Suit. Think of it being treated akin to the Sazabi.

You're going to need him.
still can't unsee cell's face on the messer's torso LMAO 😂
You just ruined my day
Now it's .me who can't unsee it. Thanks for that, i guess.
@@ralfsstuff samez
16:13 just summed up how im posing this......
This kit looks absolutely amazing almost Rg level. As soon as I saw your review instantly preordered it.
This thing is sold out everywhere. My local hobby shop said they won’t be restocked until next year or even 2023. RIP.
This kit looks pretty awesome and it sort of looks like a Warhammer piece.
Gonna pick this up today as my very first gunpla, can’t wait to get into this beautifully crafted hobby.
This HG is worth getting. Badass, bulky, same height as the RG sazabi, and WAY STURDIER THAN THE SILVER BULLET SUPPRESSOR.
16:24 what are those little gunpla?
Core gundam.
omg, the 2 core gundams hanging off the biceps
that was adorable
Honestly, the thing I did when I built my messer was I used a gundam metallic gold paint marker to do the yellow sticker sections. Frankly, it turned out quite nice, and oddly fit the unit quite well.
Hathaway's flash is a last hoorah for big boy mechs in the uc timeline so hopefully they keep em coming
in case anyone hadn't noticed, the cockpit is located in the head unit.
But then what's that cockpit shaped thing on the front of the chest??
@@tftlktlgmvp4890 how should I know?, I'm not a mobile suit engineer.
The box of the Messer reminds me of the day i got my 1/144 The-O. You don't see this box size very often in the 1/144 scale.
1:26 i wonder how it looks like beside those two.
I still have an Anaheim Electronics decal from my Jesta so I’ll be sure to put it on that when I get the chance
Wait what about that title?
Leave me and my Zaku ii alone!
The MS is from U.C. 0105, twelve years after you from U.C. 0093.
We came here to laugh at you
Hands down the best Gundam reviewer on RUclips!!! Always 👍👍 way up!!!
He's not wrong my local game store just happened to have it. Brought it home and easy and delightful build!😮❤🎉
It looks like a mix of the Sazabi and the Jagd Doga
My question is can you remove the big spiky shoulder pad and is it symmetrical under it
Can someone tell me please?
Yessss, I ordered this as my first gunpla and there is finally a review in english
Looks like that the char are actually an eva inside with the head armor part off realy cool
The engineering especially the torso is nice and seamless. Impressive!
This kit looks awesome..
Did i just saw a 2nd set of thrusters ?
The ab crunch design looks great compared to that of RG Nu which has a gaping hole.
The upper thigh joint for is not an issue.
For a big MS, I would be surprised if it has that may articulation..
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know. But on average, a Licking Machine made at Purdue needed 364.
I love the pose at 16:11.
You should update your platinum tier playlist to include the force impulse gundam
Please post the build, I would love to see how you do it!
as a member of Zeon
what is your top 5 Zeon style suits?
When i saw the thumbnail i was like
*MOANS*
The duplicate runner happened in the Astray Turn Red MG too, I think.
Just missed the couch....nice video as always my friend!!
I thought this had to be inspired by Dr. Robotnik. It’s mouth pipes even look like his mustache.
Okay... this just might be my first non-Gundam kit. This thing looks badass, not to mention BIG for an HG. 🔥🔥🔥
Imagine Having A MG of this Best of a MS
Imagine the box.
MG = PG size
Pre-ordered this guy the moment he was announced. so excited.
Is platinum tier the highest for this grading scale?
Gundarium tier is beyond the grade. Like a hg that feels like a rg
How’s the compatibility with backpacks and other HG accessories and parts? Would you consider adding a segment for that in your future HG reviews?
It has pretty much the reverse attachment point for backpacks. 2 pegs that stick out instead of holes.
I need to organize my stuff better to actually have some accessories on hand instead of buried away in boxes.
what a bizarre design, i'm excited to see how people mod theirs to work with other parts!

So its the Geara Doga equivalent to the Gustav Karl?

The first prototype of the Formula project, can't wait to see this in the film
I wonder if Bandai would make the Gustav Karl Hathaway’s Flash ver into a kit at some point.
The novel version? Probably P Bandai.
Pretty much the blue version is P-Bandai. We already have the Unicorn ver as regular release.
The glossiness looks really good in the light.
Good looking kit, reminds me of the Kampfer
Imagine if this beautiful Messer come with version of RG and MG Ver KA 😲🤯
The head kinda reminds me of Samus’s helmet
Can you measure the figures heights with a ruler as well as comparisons with other figures?
I do have a question, how do you do your cubby lighting?
BTW i was going to buy the messer for Christmas but i changed opinion at the last time and i bought the eva 01. I wish i had never changed my mind.
JUST PICKED THIS UP. SUPER EXCITED 😁😁😁
Wallpaper on the end please XD
Core Gundams!
glad I pre ordered this, that is one thicc mobile suit. and bigger than sazabi too!
Isnt there a option to store a beam saber handel in the shoulder?

Oh the customization posibilities! You can mix this with either Fedie or Zeon suits..
the proportion is absolutely perfect
