The HG 00 Gundam was widely considered the pinnacle of HG engineering for a few years. Even as its level of articulation became somewhat more common in HG, it was the gold standard for a while. It basically revolutionized HG articulation and introduced the same basic joint structure that modern HGs use, just replacing more and more polycaps with plastic over the years.
Things that glow in the dark are inherently UV reactive; it's the same chemical mechanism, it's just that things that glow in the dark emit light over time, while things that are merely fluorescent emits its light immediately, with no storage action.
I have so many HG 00s and got both the vanilla Diver and the one with the Diver Ace. Didnt get the 00 Skys (all of them) as i didn't had cash for those when they came out (and arent at stock where i am). Then this was announced and now released. I am cursed to get a 00 and the Divers. But hey, its definitely the best looking 00 Diver of the three we have. I Especially love the Arm Blades, and the fact that the GN Drives are now actual weapons. GN Drive Buster Swords go swoosh.
Even if they are prone to being almost plastic hand grenades, I simply love the 00 Diver Ace and 00 Sky. And, as soon as I can, I'm getting this 00 Dover Arc. I just love the unique takes/gimmicks with the GN Drives
They made a good call revisiting the 00 Diver instead of making another variant of the 00 Sky. For one, there are just a lot of 00 Sky kits already. But from an upgrade angle, take it from someone who tried, it is nearly impossible to noticeably improve on the 00 Sky Moebius. It's already a near-perfect kit, and all I could really do to upgrade mine was change the color scheme and add the knee-mounted GN Katars from the 00 Seven Sword. Instead, they brought it back to basics, and brought a ton of potential out of the 00 base. The new shoulder parts are amazing, I love that the chest is styled after the Age line, and the arm bracers are pretty tight, too. I also applaud the decision to add a bit of orange to the color scheme, it complements the blue perfectly. As much as I am a shameless shill for Core Gundam, this might actually be my favorite out of the Metaverse kits.
I was on awe with the weaponry I mean imagine if they can Trans-Am as swords. Until I realised that if you lost the buster swords or got disarmed in the middle of combat, won't you just runout of GN Particles ?
Well I am building a similar kit which has funnels with independent gn drives the key is to have enough gn drives so they are semi-disposable that’s why in the manual it says 1 buster sword so you still have the other gn drive while dual wielding gn buster sword is rad it’s both far from practical and not very useful
The easiest way to solve the GN drive issue is... *ADD MORE GN DRIVES* Honestly, I doubt there is any rules that would inhibit a person from "modifying" their Gundam like that. My personal thought is exia plus OO, so a GN drive at the back, plus the two on the shoulders. Not sure what to call that.
The clear effect part can be more shiny or i should say show up more in black light or UV light,if you polish them with tamiya compound,they definitely shows out more
I went to the gundam base siam for my birthday today and picked up an exclusive clear version of kyrios, they also released a new lah gundam and a very cool crystalline unicorn gundam for around 40 bucks
For smaller kits I actually think the “Tamashii Stage ACT HUMANOID” stands are a little better than the Goodsmile ones. They are around the same price comparatively. The come in sets of two and have a smaller profile and are more articulated. With the Goodsmile stands I find myself running out of space quiet quickly because of their large profile base.
You should consider reviewing the in era+ brand, their kits are so absurdly good from the get go especially rhe thunderbolt, i'd say 3rd party kits are getting better and better fadter than what bandai could offer
the sculpt of the main body seems good overall, but i dont like fins on the backpack. not a fan of the shapes of the effect parts for the gn drives and the ball c-lip in the gn drive section either. its a shame that riku consistently forgoes the GN sword III in his designs
I thought the clear resin parts were like glow-in-the dark plastic which is not a new thing in Gunpla as they were first used in the old SD Gundam kits.
It does seem like Bandai sometimes focuses on kitbashing potential rather than make new models. Maybe the price is good enough to justify buying, but the main build, not so much.
meh I'd argue that the old HG 00 gundam is fine as it is even if you slap new pieces on top of it and giving it a revive will serve no sense to the s2 00 cb gundams as those gundams were already superb on their own right.... I'd say give the revive stuff to the s1 00 cb gundams and slap whatever new stuff on top of it for any build series (specifically gundam exia and it's build variants) also there's an adapter in the action base 4 & 5 that will allow certain MS to do the over-the-top hovering in the air pose like a god, meaning that you can skip using the claw adapter to avoid those mishaps
Should of been gold i have the old 00 seven sword and i just glued the plastic in the joint and now it is so sturdy its a simple kit to fix I don’t personally get it
I think Riku built this gunpla AFTER the 00 Sky and before he built the Moebius in Build Divers Re:RIZE, BUT this is what I don't like about crossover shows like what they did with METAVERSE, it just MUDDIES EVERYTHING UP and makes it all confusing, yeah METAVERSE was a awesome show, but it did have some flaws in it, because Riku and the rest of Build Divers don't look ANYTHING like their Re:RIZE selves, those guys looked to be about 15 years old compared to the Riku in the first Build Divers series where he was only to be about 13 years old.
I saw a ramba ral custom zaku i without weapons, don't know if ill buy it or not since i dont know if it's going to bo compatible with zaku ii kits specialy the body since their articutaded and ramba ral zaku i is not.
Is there anyway that I can know when does this thing release into Indonesia cus thats where im living rn, and knowing these are my 2 favourite kits combined, I'm just longing for this kit to release here. Good vid btw keep up the good work
Im liking mechas reviews lately. hes been a lot more objective with his ratings, able to gush over a kit and still give it a solid silver tier. great review
The color of those orange parts is... suspicious. If it's the same orange as the Arios or Harute then it should glow under UV light. You really should buy one, a tiny UV flashlight is literally 2 dollars! Maybe 5. Plus shipping.
That "resin" is almost guaranteed plastic my dude. It's not organic tree resin. If you look up bandai switching materials, it's obvious they're doing stunts like using tea leaves, egg shells and lime stone as cutting materials in order to mitigate the image of being a dirty and naughty naughty plastic producer. In reality if a person has ANY qualms with the fact that they are indeed driving "unnecessary" plastic production (provided you believe joy and hobbies aren't necessary), then they are already morally obligated to not buy or support things like this.
Ok, I believe that you really don't have time for the review😅 5:06 the gn condenser on the side of the head aren't new, they've used it with oo diver before You call gn sword II gn long blade On arc burst buster sword, the edge doesn't have to be open

So much so in design that 00 was reused so many times after
I think the clear parts aren't made to shine under UV light, they're intended to glow in the dark.
Things that glow in the dark are inherently UV reactive; it's the same chemical mechanism, it's just that things that glow in the dark emit light over time, while things that are merely fluorescent emits its light immediately, with no storage action.
@@ToxicAtom thank you, fluorescent was the word I couldn't remember!
ty both for an educational non toxic comment section that contributed to someone learning something. ty.
According to some japanese review, it does indeed react to blacklight!
@@olo398 Despite my name, I try my best
It’s sad he didn’t mention about the new moulding for the twin gn drives they can now open up
6:58
When you want to make comparison kit but still not build it yet 🗿
I think the resin can catch regular light better than clear plastic which uses it's color more than clearness to pop
Its a shame that this one didn't get a premium box art, bandai gave plutine a very beautiful box art to plutine gundam instead
Those clear parts loook amazing
A Face Saperated 00 Gundam?!
Hot Damn Boi!
im amazed by just how much they put into this kit
I have so many HG 00s and got both the vanilla Diver and the one with the Diver Ace.

....IT'S IN LAKERS COLORS.
Kinda
Needs purple
huh, i didn't remember the 00 raiser being that huge. weird. must be just my eyes
Ayo mecha you forgot one feature
The gn drive opening feature?
2023 and Mecha still had those "I forgot" moments
It just wonder why did Riku went back to the 00 diver.
It's all there in the manual: he wanted to see how he would build the 00 diver with his current skill level
Even if they are prone to being almost plastic hand grenades, I simply love the 00 Diver Ace and 00 Sky. And, as soon as I can, I'm getting this 00 Dover Arc. I just love the unique takes/gimmicks with the GN Drives

I really want see amazing barbatos lupus😂😂
I've been told fairly recently that clear green plastic fluoresces and catches more light if you topcoat them with matte
I was on awe with the weaponry I mean imagine if they can Trans-Am as swords. Until I realised that if you lost the buster swords or got disarmed in the middle of combat, won't you just runout of GN Particles ?

0:08, ah yes that was surely from Build Divers Metaverse Mecha, I do quite remember that show.
I will change the legs with the legs of the 00 with gn condenser to have more clear parts..
Would love to get spares of this just to bash with the original 00 Raiser/7swords g hg kit.

Those Shins are unforgivable
Change the blue to a darker hue and we have an Age 2 Magnum color custom.
This and hg shin burning are very good looking!!!

Not 3rd party..its china brand haha..3rd party for daban that copy straight form bandai lol..
I'm gonna get this kit just for that GN drive
Im glad that they stopped reusing elder runners from old outdated kits.
Can i ask a question canvyou combine the older part of diver ace unit
Fine sand the clear parts for a better glow
He didn't show off the gn drive pull out gimmick
I love the inner frames of the unicorns
Oh I love that so much
Ah yes, a brand new 00 kit. Another one shall be MB Astraea Type F Avalung
I have been waiting for 16 years for bandai to turn my dream comes true, my fav oo gundam and forearm gn sword
i might had miswatched it but i think you forgot the gimmig that GN drive can extended?
wait is the diver ace unit compatible with it?
This is the only build metaverse kit I'm interested in getting currently
@mecha gaikotsu did you know that the Gundam 00 diver arc Gundam Nucleus Drive can extend to be in its TransAm mode
Dang he didnt show the Gn drive that can open and close up:(
While the show was incredibly meh, the models that came out of it were worth it
the sculpt of the main body seems good overall, but i dont like fins on the backpack. not a fan of the shapes of the effect parts for the gn drives and the ball c-lip in the gn drive section either. its a shame that riku consistently forgoes the GN sword III in his designs
For some reason it look good in the pictures
I like the color and design. It is the best 00 variant.
"Gundam 00 Diver Arse"
peak comedy
Are the clear parts in this and the burning plastic or clear resin like in conversion kits?
Quite the grenade you got there. xD
Ok im definitely kitbashing one of these with a 30ms
I thought the clear resin parts were like glow-in-the dark plastic which is not a new thing in Gunpla as they were first used in the old SD Gundam kits.
@Mecha Gaikotsu damn I 'm really curious whar your top 10 kits of 2023 are. There have been so many amazing kits
I think you used the wrong boly cap there is a regular plastic one in one of the new raners to answer the question at 16:20

i think bandai need to remake the 00 hg with the modern technolgy
S1 yes. But S2? Still hold until now
@@exiagn0012 yes the whole season 1 kit need a remake
And when will we get a new GN Sword III, my favourite Gundam weapon? It only comes in one kit per grade.
NGL, this kit looks special imho
Day 1 of asking Mecha Gaikotsu to review the Riobot Gurren Lagann
I wouldn't mind if Bandai made a _Real Grade_ version of:
GN-0000DVR Gundam 00 Diver
GN-0000DVR/A Gundam 00 Diver Ace
GN-0000DVR/S Gundam 00 Sky
GN-0000DVR/SM Gundam 00 Sky Moebius

Me watching this with kamiki being disappointed with my but XD
I find it hard to believe that's resin, resin dust is extremely toxic so I doubt Bandai would ever use it
Not all resin is toxic there’s some plant based resins that are non toxic
B-Club exist
@@miragebangbravern Yeah but that's not the same as retail HG, entirely different demographic there
Is there anyway that I can know when does this thing release into Indonesia cus thats where im living rn, and knowing these are my 2 favourite kits combined, I'm just longing for this kit to release here. Good vid btw keep up the good work
It usually takes like a month or two to ship it to SEA region
Its finally time XD and they came out swinging.
It looks like a specific Astray.
From what?? It's head and hand and leg screams 00 for me, and those beautiful gn drive.
There's no way astray head sculp better than 00 head.
The colour dude.
Reminds me of that blue frame version with all the orange blades everywhere
Aren’t those ground gundams shoulders as well?
Man, EG EXIA when
Loving Riku's upgrade on the Gundam 00 Diver Arc! 🤩🚀

10k likes for you awe.
I saw this on my Hobby Store back last month ago. Oops. ;-;
Is there a HG verion of this?😊
I get so upset that this is kinda what the 00quant could have been. Mostly the arm bracer blades.
Please gundam plutine 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 review
Ok, I believe that you really don't have time for the review😅
5:06 the gn condenser on the side of the head aren't new, they've used it with oo diver before
You call gn sword II gn long blade
On arc burst buster sword, the edge doesn't have to be open
Really not a fan of that “processed dairy product” color
W enough review. But, totally L for tiering system
Yey
build kit always give good 1st impression and then a few day later, i'll realize its actually pretty meh
It's good... but not 2500¥ good
Zased
Beautiful but kind of a hand grenade.........yep silver tier
Personally i hate the colors, too much blue.
Ummm your joking me.... maybe glue your parts next time 🤦🤦🤦
I think this should have gotten a better tier. You didn't give this kit enough credit 👎👎👎
the animation is so cheap, for the sake of selling new recycle design kits
