Still on the fence of getting this as it looks really good but 80% that Bandai is planning for an X3 or an X1 Kai Skull Heart/Full Cloth in the future, which would be even more awesome.
What a great, tiny Gundam design. :D Bought it today, will be a *LOT* of work when I get to it. Love it on the Super Robot Wars games. ❤ Thanks so much for your hard work on this review years ago!
DerkyDee I’ve only seen them on the Unicorn, Crossbone X1 and upcoming Nu. I don’t think any other RG has fists like these. Instead, they have squashed fists.
The Beam Sabers are actually the Beam cannons on the core fighter, they're supposed to pop out of the side collars. That's the only gimmicks they didn't do, but the tips of the beam Sabers should be painted yellow to match.
the beam saber handles are suppose to store on the core fighter, they feed through the chest and have a yellow tip. they pop out of that hole in the chest for the Gundam to grab. imgur.com/a/9UoXzoO
I imagine the X-2 and X-3 will be standard releases but the X-2 Kai and the X-1 full cloth and the other side story Crossbones such as Phantom and Soul will all be Pbandai guaranteed
I picked up the RG Crossbone X2 instead of this one, because I already have an MG of the X1, and I honestly enjoy the X2 more for a few reasons. It's a P-Bandai of course, as you predicted at the beginning lol. My very first P-Bandai kit. I am a bit disappointed he didn't come with the Long Rifle he uses as a move in EXVS, but it's nice he has the Lance at least. I'm really impressed by the colour separation considering his size. But yeah... the parts are quite small so it's very nerve-wracking trying to work with it. I really like the kit, BUT... but... I don't know what happened, but my C28 piece (the Crest going along the top of his head from the Skull/V-fin to the rear head camera) was malformed or something, because when I pushed it down to fit on top, it just snapped in two. No extra pieces for it either, so now I have everything in the kit assembled, but an incomplete head because he's missing that part. It's so sad... I've tried fusing it together with some Mr. Hobby cement (the one with the yellow lid/label) but it just keeps breaking in two because it doesn't seem to follow the curve of his head. It's so soul crushing... I'm not sure how to repair it as I am a relatively novice builder and feel out of my depth trying to come up with potential fixes. I wish it had an extra... I don't want to order a new kit just so I can use a single piece.
And now we wait for the P-bandai X2 and X3. Maybe we'll get the full cloth as a regular kit? That one tends to get a lot of odd love... Not sure though.
I have a bad feeling x2, x3 so as other variants will remain as pbandai similarly how its HG line is. Full cloth with peacock smasher addon would be great
I'm working on building this one right now and unfortunately, I don't know if it's just my copy of it, but the ankle joints are pretty much non existent, super tight to the point of causing minor stress marks on the joint.
I'm actually having trouble with step 2-1 right now, specifically attaching F17 and F8. It's such a tight squeeze that i might need to get out a pair of pliers to pop them together which is kind of disappointing.
The shame is that back in the early years of the line, you would get double releases like the mk2 and gp1. The crossbone was I think a good opportunity of doing that instead of pushing the p Bandai envelope
Weird you didn't mention the face markings or rather the lack there of. It has two stickers for it but it's just odd there are smaller details on the kit and Bandai has ways of doing small face stuff as shown on many of their other products. Oh well at least it has really nice cloak and effect parts something even a year ago we would need to buy the p-bandai version to get.
I think X2 and x3 will prolly be a pbandai kit, and the full cloth is gonna be a retail release. Cuz like almost all of the variants (X2 and x3) are pbandai but the FC has retail releases. Idk it depends cuz bandai recently is kinda confusing. Some genuinely new kits are pbandai, while some variants with just diff colors or acc are retail lol.
@@michelfanda2030 idk i cant tell lol like i said all variants. Cuz look, RG unicorn released and the Banshee norn went by and it is retail, while the mg Banshee is retail but the mg banshee norn is pbandai, also when the rg tallgeese was released, tallgeese 2 and 3 were pbandai. So idk man we cant really tell
@@michelfanda2030 the most likely thing that would happen if they are planning to retail crossbone kits, X2, X3 and Full cloth since those variants are more well known than X2 kai, X0, Crossbone gundam Ghost, Ghost gundam and phantom gundam so... idk take my words with a grain of salt
The Ghost, X2 regular and kai, X3. Not a fan of the different versions of the X1 but the one with the Crossbone head chest party is pretty cool but different enough to get it if it’s PBandai.
Does it contain parts similar to the RG RX782's elbow and knee frame parts? Those things are too small for their own good because their nubs are almost as big as the part itself, making it a bitch and a half to clean. Pardon my french.
ASID Popzz originally the crossbone was used in jupiter which has higher gravitational pull than earth, to counter this they had to add loads of thruster on suits. The X binder was one way to provide large thrust for the mobile suit without making it huge in size
@@pikkyuukyuun4741 heck if I know, I've never read the crossbone manga. I just assumed it was a build fighters tri custom. The kit is labeled as HGBF, sonthats what I was basing it on.
@@pikkyuukyuun4741 The only changes between the bf try and the manga full cloth is that the bf try ver have pearl color instead of white. But other than that its basically similar to the regular manga ver.
Charlotte Kelly That particular kit should be a great starting point for a beginner. It's a bit on the expensive side though. Personally, I'd restrict my price point to below US $20 for a basic HG kit, because really, you're building for the experience at first, so you don't wanna go all out on your expenses, since you may not like it. That HG Geara, for example is US $27, which is similar to how this RG Crossbones is priced. My recommendation is anything from the HG Gundam Origins line, since those seem to be on the cheaper side, newer, well-built, and the suits themselves are the basis for most of the suit designs in the other derivative series.
I feel very conflicted right now. Bandai put a lot of effort into this, the detail, the weapons and beam effects, and all the really awesome gimmicks, they all make the kit look like it's worth the money and more. But what's keeping me from buying this is I really don't like how small everything is
I think the only other kit that might not be P-Bandai, is maybe the Crossbone Full cloth. It's really the other main version that we see a lot. The x2, x3, and ghost versions of the Crossbone are something we will get I'm sure but I guarantee they will P-Bandai. Full cloth is the only one i'm unsure about. As for other RGs in general. I think the next big release for next year (this is where the Full cloth could be in place of this for next year as the big release) I think we will probably see the Turn X followed by the Turn A the year after. If not next year or the one after that, I'm pretty sure we will see it in the near future. It's one of the few series left that doesn't have anything for it and with the more recent formula with Unicorn and Char's Counterattack, where we got the main antagonist followed by the Protagonist suits It's the most likely candidate. Maybe alongside them similar to the Crossbone of this year, we might see the F91. I also hope for the Physalis and I really, really hope for the Kshatriya in RG. Also forgot to mention that while I'm sure we will get the Hi-Nu at some point, (Probably P-Bandai) I don't know about the nightingale. Since all we have for that is an SD and RE/100. I mean we don't even have an HG and we have an HG for practically everything, even the really obscure things. I'm not really sure where they will end up fitting in. Last thing, sorry to beat a dead horse but does anyone find it kind of sad that we joke around about P-Bandai crap all the time, yet it never causes anything to change? I mean it's literally a running gag at this point where someone mentions essentially a kit variant of another kit and instinctively someone will comment that it will be P-Bandai. I seriously wonder what goes on in the production meetings when they decide regular kits and P-Bandai ones. At a certain point a company has to realize when their attempt to get more money from people might actually be hurting them instead. So many good things that are P-Bandai and for what exclusivity? Cause I really don't see how having a kit that they only make a limited number of could possibly make more than a kit you can get 10 years from now. Anyway, sorry to go on a mini rant there but there are an awful lot of limited items coming out from various companies that's kind of pissing me off. Far too many of which I can't help but say " why that, are they nuts?"
@@fantastiCkiLler92 Well the Banshee was a normal release lol, we can only hope I'm not planning on getting X2 anyways, it's just a color change with a new lance X2 Kai has a lot more new parts however
The X2/X3/Fullcloth and the rest are 100% P-Bandai, Bandais not very forgiving lately especially with variants and I bet Bluefin wont bring them over either like they've been doing, seem to be sticking to Wing and SEED for some reason......
i think we need an RG Gundam F91 to go with this.
Yes, yes plz
Or mg xbone 2.0
The extra attachment for the buster gun is actually a small nuke
Would you go as far as to call it... A snuke?
@@TheKnight11563 goddammit
I saw it it use it in super robot wars V,yea its a small nuke
Japan pls don't make this gundam weapons pls I beg you don't make a small nuke

YELLOW CAKE!!!
That Chappelle skit was dope af, now I know you're a man of class.
So glad someone finally mentioned it!
The Beam sabers are actually the beam guns in the core fighter in an expanded form, so the parts near the beam saber hole need to be yellow
I thought that was the case!
At 6:58 that's a grenade that he shoots of the buster gun in some of the fights the X1 is in.
yeah X-1 has that in its arsenal/moves in the G Generation games
The RG Sazabi, RG Crossbone and RG Nu Gundam all have super nice MG style inner frames and it's awesome.
Man I super hope they make a kit of the Phantom Gundam from this, fell in love with that design as a NXEdge, ive wanted a hg/rg Phantom ever since
You know we've never gotten the mass produced version of the crossbone gundam in kit form. Itd be nice to see that someday.
Ah yess the flint
3:41 "You're pretty good!"
Haha no doubt!
Still on the fence of getting this as it looks really good but 80% that Bandai is planning for an X3 or an X1 Kai Skull Heart/Full Cloth in the future, which would be even more awesome.
nah
Sorry pal
Looks awesome! Just finished up MG full cloth last month and it had some parts lol. I can only imagine the 1/144
Just started working on this. It’s really not too small and the build is designed really well. Have to handle some of the connectors with care
What a great, tiny Gundam design. :D Bought it today, will be a *LOT* of work when I get to it. Love it on the Super Robot Wars games. ❤
Thanks so much for your hard work on this review years ago!
Omg this has, like, actual proper closed fists! I like how Bandai’s carrying over the RG Unicorn fists for their future kits...
I think lots of rg kits have had them for a while now
DerkyDee I’ve only seen them on the Unicorn, Crossbone X1 and upcoming Nu. I don’t think any other RG has fists like these. Instead, they have squashed fists.
@@AyBee9725 yeah, RG Astray's closed fists don't look really good
The RG line is the future of Gunpla. Certain HGUC kits are now being build based on RG design theories.
well the Moon Gundam is kinda one.
You mean like the moon gundam or narrative cpacks?
The moon gundam was a pleasure to build! Definitely looking forward to other HG's in the same quality.
For you maybe, but if its not 1/100 i'm not touching it.
Yeah bruh, smaller but more details is art. Bandai is doing a good job.
The Beam Sabers are actually the Beam cannons on the core fighter, they're supposed to pop out of the side collars. That's the only gimmicks they didn't do, but the tips of the beam Sabers should be painted yellow to match.
Not a huge fan of crossbone but im probably going to get this, the detail is great
The zambuster attachment is a small space nuke that the gundam literally inserts into the barrel almost like a potato gun.
“That’s gotta be the best pirate I ever seen.”
I just ordered this MODEL KIT yesterday..thanks for the review..next order the metalbuild of crossbone..🤙🏼
It's a model kit, not a figure.
@@mechalinkergaming7169 ok sorry its a model kit
the beam saber handles are suppose to store on the core fighter, they feed through the chest and have a yellow tip. they pop out of that hole in the chest for the Gundam to grab. imgur.com/a/9UoXzoO
You can Storage the beam sabers in the Ver ka
@@mercuryo3042 that is correct!
Looks like a good kit from other reviews
I’m also getting the MG Ver Ka Ghost when it comes out.
Having the skirt anchors held out with the rigid pieces and weapons in hand reminds me of the Attack on Titan OMNI gear.
the cloak perhaps was molded using the technique they used in the LABO kit, maybe?
I am just amazed his isn't falling over. Incredibly back heavy.
I adore the clean look.❤️
Mostly because panel lining the Impulse was a massive pain in the ass.
All we need now is a f91 rg and a Harrison madin f91 rg
Be careful with the bones in the back! I broke an arm on mine as soon as I opened it because I didn't realize the arms are connected.
Within a minute of watching, I understand the "Gunpla Evolution Project" label on the box.
My guess is, just like the HGUC or MG Ver Ka, besides the X1 and HGBF Full cloth everything else will be P bandai.
I’d like it if the X-2 or X-0 were standard releases.
I imagine the X-2 and X-3 will be standard releases but the X-2 Kai and the X-1 full cloth and the other side story Crossbones such as Phantom and Soul will all be Pbandai guaranteed
Likely never gonna happen
RGs just keep getting better and better!
Unfortunately the shoulders on mine were very very weak. One broke before I even got him built. Had to order a new runner to get the parts.
I’ve had quite a bit of trouble getting mine to want to stand, especially with the Abc mantle.

Doubt Full Cloth will be a PB. It never came out as a PB before.
I expect the RG Crossbone Gundam X1 Full Cloth to be released soon.
My first rg kit
I think they'll make the X-0 and X-3 P-bandai and possibly the X-2 a limited run. I just don't see them releasing all P-bandai for these varients
The only gunpla evolution kit that doesn't seem like a mediocre dissapointment
Is this smaller or bigger than HGUC Victory?
Around the same size but maybe just a little bit larger
i really like the tiny details of rg's this one looks great i just hope the cloak will be useable with the girl kits
Crossbone can move side to side but just a little, the joint is in the hip
I'm working on building this one right now and unfortunately, I don't know if it's just my copy of it, but the ankle joints are pretty much non existent, super tight to the point of causing minor stress marks on the joint.

Very cool RG addition. Thanks!
Here's a prediction: RG XM-10 Flint
Is there any difference between the two chest emblem decals?
A full cloth attachment for this kit would be dope!
