Kinda funny that this video comes out around the same time the demi garrison gets announced for pbandai.
There are still mechs unreleased, including ones from the side manga. Guess where we'll get those... 😢
Wait, it's PEEBS!? FUCK!!!
@BioGoji-zm5ph from what I've heard yeah, sorry
Real shit tho? I’m willing to sacrifice some extra bucks for the garrison that thing looked rad as hell
@thisfknguy3243 yeah, I'd share the link to show it but I tried to before and it seems that it got auto deleted
This is the line (and show) that got me into gunpla, and now I have 15 of them displayed in a glass case. Great vid man I always love watching you talk about them, you can tell the passion you have is very genuine!
Yooo it's the greates supporter alive
Welcome to Gunpla and RIP your wallet lol
This series got me into Gunpla too. I started with Lfrith Ur to make all of my mistakes and learn how to fix and sand. I don’t want to ruin the other four models I bought but this video is convincing me to get more.
wtf my support doin here bruh
This has definitely been a wild ride, both in regards to the show and model kit line. My heart will forever belong to the Darilbalde (the Schwarzette is a damn close second); Ippei Gyoubu is such a master class designer. You really can't go wrong with any of these guys, and I'm really glad to see HGs reach a new level for the hobby.
How funny, my number one is schwarzette and the 2nd place is daribalde. We're kinda switch
can you review moshows new figure
Oh, lol, this was the guy who did the designs in G-Reco? No wonder I can't even with any of this stuff.
Ya caliban definitely was top 1 for me. It's just too cool and has posability of a normal figure. AND IT COMES WITH A STAND
I got myself the HG calibarn and it's the only kit I got from the entire g witch anime. When I first saw glimpses of it mentioned in the anime, I absolutely fell in love with it. Something about the simplicity and sleek blocky angles was just eery and scary but that made it so much cooler. And the significance and the fact that it had no filter and therefore harmed the pilot more made it feel more like a contract with the devil and that was a touching element for me cuz it just adds realness and depth to the MS and suletta. I have yet to build it (uni student things) but getting it was nigh impossible especially where I live (south east Asia). Almost anywhere I went, it was sold out and all the vendors told me the same thing, "wait for the next stock or preorder yourself". I was lucky to get it in store one day right after they restocked but holy hell there were only a few boxes left when I got there and people were queuing up for it.
Recently finally got into Gunpla after finishing my Master Piece Transformers collection.
Witch from Mercury is a nice change of pace, cute girls doing war crimes in Mecha is a genre I was missing.
Love the designs and thanks for your videos.
Lfrith 3rd place is so goated. I love it so much, the overall design, the colours. I only wish it hade a cooler weapon
You can always paint.
Edit: dang.. my eyes deceived me, i thought i read "cooler colors"
If only Calibarn has 1/100 version.
I basically have the same rankings.
Bandai recently announced Demi Garrison (for pbandai 😡) it looks pretty good probably right under Demibarding in my ranking. Hopefully we get more HG Gwitch kits.
I really want a Gundnode plus flight pack, the Darilbalde Michaelis Pharact expansion kit, and HG Desultor kit.
Don't forget hg prodoros
Yeah, I'm still waiting for Daribalde upgrade set
WHY IS IT PBANDAI
@@zg0k361 well, tbf we already have a lot of Demis on retail (chuchu, trainer, barding)
Does the Lfirth Jiu that is scheduled for later this year not count for The Witch form Mercury line ?
On a technical note: The editing here is amazing! Love the number animation! Keep up the amazing work
Honestly Calibarn was love at first sight, both when i saw it in the anime and the HG. I do really hope that they are going to release a 1/100 version of it or even better a full MG... I have been watching people online installing led kits and honestly it's illegally cool for being just an HG kit.
You're channel/work just keeps getting better and better! You're constantly evolving and upgrading! Keep up the great work!
i havent built all of the Witch from mercury kits, but i have built over half of them so far, this is the line of Gunpla that pulled me back into Building! and it was actually your build review of Guels Dilanza that was the exact moment i was pulled back into Gunpla building and gundam in general (thank you for that!). i feel like that is probably why i would personally rank Guels Dilanza so much higher on the list than you did, but i honestly love the Witch from mercury line and i really hope to see some more Witch from Mercury mobile suits and hopefully we will get another Witch from mercury Timeline series!
how many kit are in this series ??
Thanks to this video I've settled on my first ever Gunpla; I just ordered the Calibarn and Zowort Heavy. I'm an avid 40k player and scale model builder so I'm not exactly new to plastic-crack, but I came into Gundam kind of randomly after watching Endless Waltz on Crunchy Roll and didn't really have any idea where to start, you're a great ambassador for your hobby and your videos have been extremely helpful.
Aerial is my first Gunpla ever, it was really fun to build and it looks super cool in any pose. I still haven't decided which one will be the next. I was tempted by the Aerial Rebuild, but you made a really good point about the Lfrith being hot pink with bunny ears XD (Also the details in the kit are very cool).
I got the darilbalde as my 2nd, enjoyed it too! Gonna paint it soon
Welcome to the hobby. 🙂
Your wallet is about to cry.
same i literally got ariel on my bday from target like 4 days ago on aug 4th. "ooh this gundam looks cool i should buy one"
it was literally 15 bucks
can we take a moment to admired how awesome all of the TWFM kits are. even the kit from rank 17/20 got a gold tier
Kinda feeling it must be a mistake for Sunrise n Bandai to commission a 25 ep run for a series worth of 20 gunplas. Some only appear for 2 or 3 eps or even minutes without much action. That's a shame as the WFM kits are great kits and even broke the sales records. Not sure of they can repeat the same feat in the next Gundam series.
Oh they absolutely didn't think the series would do well
@@Peasham Japanese production execs sleeping on yuri as usual. I'm very hopeful that G-Witch shows the industry that there really is a significant audience for yuri anime out there and that it leads to more big-budget yuri anime in the future. Now if only Bandai would stop being homophobic about the romance being "up to interpretation" when they're *literally married*.
@@flip.flap. Well they let the director of the series confirm iron-clad that they're married, so safe to say they've loosened up after the backlash to the interpretation bit.
Maybe there was more planned, but they had to rush it. Second half feels very rushed when watching the episodes back to back, while the first was very slow both with story and character development
@@user-ev2je4mf4p Guy, if G Witch was a regular Gundam series we wouldn't have gotten the Suletta Elan duel til at LEAST episode 12, both seasons have exactly the same pacing lol
Amazing work dude! I’m loving this list! Just got one of these kits!
I've always wanted to build some GunPla, this video convinced me to get one finally. Managed to pic up a Michaelis. So thank you.
I need all of these (maybe some dupes of a couple grunts). Thank you for this ranking list. Also, I found out about The Tempest being a reference-point/story parallel from elsewhere, and didn't really know it that well, but thank you for mentioning it and also mentioning the differences in Aerial vs Calibarn - I hadn't caught it at first, but that is actually a really cool aspect that they kept in mind!
I'm glad my first gunpla is number 1 on this list, going into the gunpla comunity with nothing but a whim buying calibarn at the gundamn base in odaiba.
The chuchu punch got me!🤣👍🏻 well done to break up the monotony of the video! And a GREAT way to introduce her demi trainer.
Good list. As someone just now getting into Gundam kits, G-Witch was an incredibly lucky find to start with. Based on my personal experiences and preferences, I would have put the Shwartzette on top, but that's just me.
I've gotten a couple Iron Blooded Orphans kits now too, and while I like the designs, it's honestly astounding how much better built these G-Witch kits are.
I agree with the scratch building usecase... thinking back to the mods I just made on my latest build... cutting the parts would've been a lot faster and cleaner- much less dust lol.
I also think if they dialed back the power so that the plastic literally didnt melt and made it more handheld, it'd have a serious case for heavy gunpla use! Great video 👌
I've been collecting Gunpla for years now. Put the HG Ariel together and was blown away.
I want to get all the WfM HG's to have on display,i love all the designs and the kits look so much fun to build.
Praying that one day they’ll make a Master Grade Aerial since I can’t find the full mechanics Aerial anywhere 😭
My only G-Witch kit for now is Full Mechanics Gundam Aerial. Planning to buy all of these eventually. 😃
Thanks so much for introducing me to the Witch of Mercury line. They are truly the best of the HG kits. And dont get me started on the full mechanics. Such a delight to build.
11:45 punch is all I wanted from this video. Thank you sir you are a scholar and a gentleman
Absolutely correct. You can’t go wrong with any of the kits from the gwitch series. calibarn has been such a joy to build I wanna buy a second one 😅
What a fantastic video! I only have the HF standard Aerial, but I've added a few to my to buy list.
Would be awesome if you retrospectively did this ranking of other lines throughout the history of gunpla!
I think that’s a cool idea, but the issue is the other lines have gotten so many kits that it would be near impossible to rank all of them in one video
@@gundamenjoyer217ibo and Ver ka kits would be good
WRT the Demi barding, I think not seeing the wire support unit on screen supports my feeling that WFM was supposed to be a longer series (standard 50 episodes maybe) but other factors we’ll probably never know cut it down to what we got. Also kind of explains why we got kits with barely any screen tine vs other series. I stick to 1:100 so only have the Full mechanics, but the HGs do look good
I understand MGs and RGs take a while to be designed but I think it was a missed opportunity to not at least do one for this show. This show was extremely popular and even friends of mine who don't watch gundam knew about it. Missed marketing opportunity imo.
It took 3 years after the show ended for them to release MG Barbatos. With how ridiculously good Bandai model has become, it make sense that the newest show will not get a MG treatment soon.
calibarn is my 2nd kit I ever got, so glad I picked it. Literally just thought it looked cool, guess I was right
It's not the end just yet. A High Grade Demi Garrison was shown off in an expo picture last night.
I’m excited to see the G-Witch kit engineering innovations applied to future lines. Amazing kits.
This is a great review!! Ive made my mind on buying some of this!! Michaelis, lfrith and gundolva.
IDK why the Michaelis kit didn't sell, even if it wasn't a popular character in the anime, bit of metallic gold orange, red and blue with some flourescent green and youve got a stylised Samus from Metroid.
the pilot himself is what made michaelis kit suck 😂
@@yellowkun2539filtered
I kinda retired from the hobby but the calibarn design is really tempting me to come back. If they release a MG or at least FM, i will get one in a heartbeat.
Comeback. We got FM Gundam Aerial
Calibarn and Pharact are the primary reasons I decided to give some of the Witch From Mercury kits a chance.
@@joeledger i almost purchased it tbh but the calibarn reminds me of aile strike, the mobile suit that got me into gunpla
@@donaldzuramp4404 MG Aile Strike is the last kit I've built almost 20 years ago, FM Aerial brought me back into the hobby. They don't require modding or much time since it's less parts compared to MG. Just panel line, decal, topcoat, and it's looking awesome, brings back the joy of building gunpla for me. Would love to have more quality FM kits, Calibarn especially.
@@LKicksBucket there are already few great FM kits - calamity/aile calamity, raider and forbidden also FM kenbu is worth checking, awesome kit
I'm kinda sad that these are all the kits bandai made for this series, beside the p bandai. There are still a lot of potential mobile suits from the series, like the earthians grunts (i forgot the name), and gundnodes and their flight unit
aerial and calibarn are going to be my first gunpla ever, they're so beautiful
I collected every GUNPLA from the series...I heard they'll release the Demi Garrisom this Dec 2023🔥
My Favorite is Either Calibarn or Schwarzette
is that 20 all there are ?
DANG IT. I took a break from collecting, but now I have to get them all, because these all look good to me. I didn't realize how high quality this whole line was..
so many of these suits were so under utilized in the anime. Only got a tiny bit of screen time. Demi Barding is the biggest example. Especially that tease in the opening cinematic
Exactly, everything felt so crammed, and its annoying that the crew and writer couldn't tell the whole story they had planned
Such a good line. Can't wait for more F Witch Full Mechanics!
Bought Lfrith as my 3rd gunpla without knowing the anime series. Just thought it was a nice looking gunpla. Then i dive deeper on the internet and saw many others just like it especially calibarn and aerial. Now i know what my next backlogs gonna be.
Model from TWFM looks different than other gunpla model. I think it’s the matte finish that gives it the clean high quality looks.
My favorites were Heindree, Gundvolva, Lfrith, Guel's Dilanza, Darilbalde and Schwarzette. I just couldn't get the Heindree yet.
But I thinks it's really hard for me to say that they are better than the HG Moon Gundam, which is my favorite. Lfrith and Schwarzette are tied right after Moon.
PS: The Rubris X Lfrith is just the japanese way of pronouncing that word, in English they usually say "luh-fri-th" and in Japanese they struggle with foreign words and it becomes "ru-bu-ri-su" or "Rubris".
We have that exact same thing with mcdonalds (maku donarudo), starbucks (sutabakusu) and so on.
Hi, is schwarzette an amazing kit? How about the stability of the gundam?
@@monique494it's great and solid
Haven't gotten around to watching GWitch yet (top of my backlog rn) but the minute I saw the Michaelis I fell in love, such a cool design and reminds me a lot of my favorite character from Destiny 2, Saint-XIV. love the silver/white + purple colorway and the crusader knight aesthetic, just ordered that kit and can't wait to build and display it!
This is definitely helpful for any witch from mercury model kits I may want in the future as I got my frost one recently of guel’s Dolan a because in the anime it is my favorite mobile suit as I am a sucker for bulky mechs with a very knight esque look to them and the partizan was another reason as I also like very stylish melee weapons like a spear, axe, halberd, lance and shield or even my personal favorite a war hammer (especially if it has rockets in the back of it)
I took a hiatus from building for a couple years and mostly did MG before. Picked up an HG Aerial Rebuild to try next so I'm glad to see it's part of a new era.
What would you rank the lfrith jiu if you get it?
I will never get over Mecha whooshing the Claibarn around while making it look like it's riding a broom
Love this show, congratulations on the marriage Suletta and Miorine! 🎉 🦝❤🍅
great tier list, i have the same tier in mind but i am alsowaiting to receive the Pbandai lfrith jiu from buyee tomorrow, i think thaT one will be high in this list too!
Love that "happy birthday" clip included, so nostalgic it brings shivers ^__^
I just built the HG Calibarn and it was my first Gundam I ever built. It was so fun and now I'm addicted lmao
came here because i played armoured core 6 and am now undergoing a mech obsession. This looks insanely cool, great vid very useful
Once I get better at airbrushing, I will get a Zowort and paint it gold, I will also change the head to a custom head. I will call it Zoworto
Then put a mini road roller beside it lol
@@justaquestionmark1984 better yet get either a model one or one large but light enough to fit in its hands as a melee weapon
The first Gundam kit I picked up (at Haneda airport, Tokyo lol) was your number one choice, so I'm glad I seem to have an eye for them. What's more it was only around $13!
I did make some kits before but this linewas that ACTUALLY got me into building kits
HG GUNDAM CALIBARN SLAYS THE FM GUNDAM AERIAL!!! I was not at all expecting such an outcome.
Still waiting for them to release a zowort weapon set
Solid ranking.
My top 3 kits from WFM gunpla are
1) Schwarzette
2) Lfrith
3) Calibarn
Schwarzette looks more royalty and deserves that #1 spot for me.
Master Grade aerial in 6 years and they'll never make anything else in the WFM line, just like barbs
Man I'm gonna miss this line and it's beautiful box arts, for me the best one of the line is the Darilbalde, such a beautiful kit filled with gimmicks, I love it.
I'm a little somewhat new but almost experienced on building gunpla recently and so far i have schwarzette, aerial rebuild, aerial hg, aerial full mechanics, caliburn, and barbatos mg, i have never tried painting one of them for custom before and hopefully i will because i do have some paint and an airbrush but someday I'm hoping to get either the unicorn gunpla or the freedom mgex probably on my b'day
As someone who loves the pharact and owns the HG it was done an absolute disservice with the c-clips like on the lfrith and the aerial rebuild it's fine but the pharact's having gotten stupidly loose especially the ones on the backpack and heels(which broke on me in the build somehow), so I would probably rank it similarly.(still absolutely love the lfrith, aerial rebuild and pharact because of its absolutely badass design)
The show, the model kit line, is amazing!! It really feels like a witch using it's magic for this to happened
So far, only built the original Lfrith and ChuChu's Demi Trainer, both of which I was very impressed by, so I'm hoping to get a few more of the designs I really like.
I'm still torn about the Ariel, I do prefer the shapes of the first form, but I love a primarily blue robot, and the Rebuild has wings, which is another robot design point I adore.
Thinking I'd almost want to get OG Ariel and repaint her to be mainly blue.
Good list, I have zero desire to own the few lowest rated kits and have already ordered most of the others mentioned.
Built most of them except the grunts/demi trainers. Cant wait for my Calibarn to arrive
I can definitely see some G Witch kits being remade in a new Build Fighters/Divers series.
Just ordered the Aerial FM coming end of this month, its my first gunpla. Looking get Calibarn after, maybe it gets a Fm version too.
Agree! witch line and its kits in overall are the best of the best from Bandai, the advanced parts&structure design of the kits, plastic material, playable, solidity, etc overwhelm the prior HGs and even most of the RGs... IMHO, for the 1st time, I don't expect any RGs (more expensive and complex parts) for this line, as the HGs itself is already so so great!
Funny enough i was choosing between the dilanza sol and aerial before seeing thi, but ended up with the dilanza. even though it's ranked low, it has amazing articulation for a bulky suit like this one, I'm actually gonna try to get the caliburn in order to see the top of the line
We need the lfrith prototype as a kit. Seriously, that blue one looked amazing. And the backpack is awesome
I'm assuming we'll get it eventually since they're going with P-Bandai ones through other minor suits and ones from the manga stories such as the new alternate Lfrith
I was fully expecting this particular TWFM countdown to have the Chuchu right hook clip that Mecha used in the other top 20 countdown 😂😂😂
NOW WE NEED AN MG CALIBARN OR LFRITH!!!
I have not built any of these yet and that is cause I only started in December to build some with Dynames and Sinanju both MG which I love this size and bigger. I do have some love for the smaller hg but I wish they made them in MG size. I feel like I get more out of building them and bigger parts. So far for this new year I bought Hi-V Gundam kit and also Raider Gundam both are MG and just cause he got wings Wing Gundam Zero EW which is HG. Only thing I am missing right now is my favorite white Paint/Primer color which is Powder White. I love the look and feel of this paint type and my stores stop selling it. I also plan on getting Red Ashtray and Barbatos and Stein. These are must before I buy anything else.
Looks-wise Schwarzette takes the cake
Calibarn is my very first gunpla kit. I've been looking for others before but Calibarn had win my heart.
i just finished this anime and i gotta say this may make me come back to gunpla building hobby (as i was collecting way back when IBO was popular)
i wish it had more time to develop but nevertheless, the show was suprisingly good
Eyyyyyy totally agree with this top -> calibarn is an insane model kit
The Lfrith Jiu is on the way and I'd love to hear your thoughts about the permit six P Bandai Aerial even though it's just a repaint.
I haven’t seen the anime but I saw the aerial model in a display and felt in love with it
Have the lfrit, aerial, rebuild, calibarn and the lfrit jui, waiting in the back log. Can´t wait to build them
So do you think the gundam calibarn is a better hg kit then the hg gundam barbatos lupus? because the barbi lupus is one of your favourite
I recently bought and built hg 1/144 : Aeriel, Pharact, Demi trainer, Zowort.
I would rate as follows. 1st Pharact (wasn't expecting it). Fun build, best joint connections, great posability. 2nd Demi trainer. Super easy build but also fun, almost 0 nub marks, great posability and nice accesories. 3rd Zowort. All around good, nice armored core type grunt design but a bit lacking on the accessories. Last is Aeriel unexpectedly. Although it has nice build techniques in some areas it feels a bit on the cheap side. Also the leg to hip connection is very limiting when it comes to articulation.
Overall not my favorite line. I have to say I prefer the UC one but Im still looking forward to get my hands on Calibarn.
Imagine the Calibarn as a Master Grade. All my money would be gone
Resently got the the g volva and the aerial mk1 can’t wait to build them and have been dying to get a calibarn
the pharact looks so much like an armored core, it's gorgeous. also the sniper rifle being called arquebus and the colour scheme being identical to the arquebus group purple/dark blue give a very strong armored core VI vibe
Where did you get the little character standees in the front?! I’d love to get some
Hey mecha, was wondering, is there a video you made where you explain the meaning/expecations of each tier of the system you made (gold, gundarium, etc...) Or would you think of making one
Rubris is the Japanese pronunciation of Lfrith (pronounced Luh-frith) because there is no L or TH sound in Japanese, ru-bu-ri-su「 ルブリス」 is the closest approximation.
Dude the Ariel HG was $17 totally a steal
Best HG line ever to date and my first ever time getting the whole line
Just ordered the Aerial rebuild today as my first gunpla. I hope I won't break anything lol
Hey mecha, what was that cool city display bade you used at the beginning of the zowart part of the video?
Hoping for more g-witch full mechanics, Darilbalde would be awesome.
My favorite MS from the series is the Michaelis, so it hurt to see it not selling. But, overall I have not had a bad experience with any of these kits. The only issue I encountered was the C-Clips in Pharacts backpack, but other than that, no complaints.
