A note on the shoulder for those yet to build it: Take time to read all the steps for assembling the joint first to get an idea of what is going on. Then rotate the forward/back joint out of the way and use a vice grip or adjustable wrench to press the joint into the torso in with equal pressure from both sides. (Use some buffer material to not dig into the plastic)
just finish torso. shoulder joint really give me goosebump😂. use dishwashing liquid brand sunlight to lubricat it. and perfectly fit. are there side effect cause this is the 1st i use dishwash liquid for super tight joint like sazabi here?
What's the problem? I built mine and had no problems on anything I didn't even have to tighten any joints which was a first since every set of hands I've ever got are always super loose and this was only my 3rd RG and 5th ever kit
I love what Bandai has been doing with the Real Grade line recently. Tallgeese felt like building a mini master grade, and now we've got the Sazabi that's the SIZE of a master grade, and they both look amazing. The only 2 things I don't like about the RG Sazabi are the shoulder joint (which... admittedly, I don't know how I would design it any better) and the fact that the gold emblem on the shield was a sticker instead of a plated plastic piece like they did with Sinanju or at least a dry transfer.
I just started building gunpla a month ago and I happened to get this as my first one. Hadn't seen this video till now and I gotta say I love this bad boy. I re-painted all the yellow parts gold and turned all the red to a more metallic red. I'm super happy with it and I agree this kit is fantastic out of the box.
that whole "get it right the first time or you're fucked" thing with the joints also happened to me with one of the shoulder pegs on the master grade full armor gundam from gundam thunderbolt. i went to put it into the torso, and the shoulder peg just snapped. luckily, i came up with an inventive fix, and it worked, as odd as it is. i found a bit of runner that matched the width of the peg, cut off a length of it. i cut the length down to an appropriate length, and shaved the sides of it a tiny bit to make it fit into the joint a little easier. i used a pin vice to drill a hole into the center of the small length of cut and shaved runner, and another hole into the base of where the peg was supposed to attach (after i snipped off the rest of the peg). i inserted a very thin piece of brass rod (which you can find at almost any hobby store) that fit almost perfectly into the drilled hole, and i superglued the half piece i had left, along with the length of runner.
Happened to me as well, I also fucked up the cockpit joint as well. Well that's 100+ bucks wasted lmao, I don't exactly know if I can find people who could have extra parts or even repair it.
Just bought the kit from my local model kit store. What I notice was some parts are thinner than the master grade sazabi. Thanks for the information of this kit. Love your vids :)
Was horrified at the prospect of getting and building this from the initial look at those insane details, but hearing how it wasn't even that difficult to build, I very well might give this a chance! Thanks, Mecha Gaikotsu! You're a tremendous inspiration!
I broke the shoulder as well but I ended up fixing it. A tip to prevent it from happening (I did it with the other shoulder) cut a rod out of the runner that fits into the hole of the shoulder peg joint and Cement it in there, essentially reinforcing the hollow joint so it's less likely to shear off.
If I'm getting one, I think I might was well put a pin through the peg before assembly. They used the thick type with a lot of holes cut out, which severely reduces the peg's durability
As someone who got sucked into WH40k about three years ago I'm so dissatisfied with where the models and game philosophy is along with the outrageous prices. This is incredible to me and I can't wait to begin the deep dive on this
After getting into Gunpla and looking back years ago at my short experience with buying WH40k models it's absolutely laughable how much those models cost.
mecha, as someone who has gotten back into gunpla, i really appreciate your videos. they allow me to be more picky about which gunpla i build these days since im older and i have a lot less space for gunpla. (gave away my old collection years ago and have restarted in the last year). i need this sazabi lol
Jetblast01 just... if you’re doing decals, do them once you’ve finished the limb and not once you’ve done the kit. With waterslides, do them before you’ve even attached the armour plate
Jetblast01 sort of depends, but with waterslides, it’s just a lot easier to on individual pieces rather than limbs. Cannot explain why adequately, but it just is
Wow, the details on this kit are insane! Honestly the best one I've seen as well without extra styling. Hoping they'd do an RG Nu Gundam with the same quality as this.
Beam parts are UV responsive btw! This kit is perfection! I pause at least once a day to look at it up on the stand everyday with its dedicated spotlight shining on it! GLORIOUS IS RIGHT!
Sazabi is my all time favorite mecha and I'm super excited to see that it got such an amazing RG kit. I was going to just buy the MG but decided to be patient and see what the RG would be like. So hyped to get my hands on one!
to be honest my sinanju never gave me any problems, even if the articulation can be hard to work with sometimes it never failed to pull off any pose i displayied it in. only issue, I broke the smaller red flap under the back leg thruster but even that was mishandling on my side. yall need to be gentle with your gunplas if you want them to look good an stay durable (also flat topcoat works miracles for loose joint).
Wise Traveler Yes It dint fail it just dint make it to the mark that the Sazabi has set. Such a shame I would be happy to throw More money at Bandai just to have a new Inner frame for the sinanju. I do have an RG Sinanju I got two actually the first one had problems with the leg joint and the most awful joint the waist joint. So I had to buy a replacement for it. all the issues aside I still think the Sinanju is the most beautiful OOB kit for the RG line
Thx for the good review 👍 I personally think that in term of unique design and engineering, suits from zeon side generally can show more detail and complex kit structure. And I believe this RG Sazabi can be said as pinnacle of RG quality (at least for now). How yountranslated from 1/100 into 1/144 without losing the detail... magnificent.
I don't think this "beats the MG Sazabi in every way except for size." The MG Sazabi still has amazing looking silver parts and a really cool armor transformation gimmick that the RG doesn't have. And it would be nice if the the insides of the thrusters were yellow like the MG has.
Prefer MG too, but as been stated, it’s basically a statue with very limited posing. This is fine by me as I don’t give a shit about posing, but for those that do, RG is a better (cheaper) option.
As someone that has started this year - 2024,these old reviews are great because the kits are still available. I was looking at the Ver ka MG, but this will suffice and I could spend the extra $$$ saved on another kit. 👍👍👍
OMG!!! I JUST GOT THIS KIT! I am so hyped. The Gunpla stores are practically non existent here in Costa Rica, however, one of them (ther's 2) brought 3 of these and I GOT ONE!!!
More like SazaBEAST! :o So RG Nu Gundam next? And while we're at it, only Zeong and Hyaku Shiki to go and you now have all of Char's MS (at least the main/iconic ones) in the RG line.
Still looks silly to me, it's a very old design... Zaku's aged well, since they have a steampunk/tank vibe... Zeong on the other hand looks like a cheap '90 Power Ranger alien
@@chaosMonkeyPoo probably it's a "golden" problem.. if they will ever find a way to mold a decent gold (Phenex rg could be near, finger crossed) maybe they'll do Hyaku-Shiki too!
When building it myself, I never broke the shoulder joint, and believe me, I can break a lotta jjoints. The rg sazabi's shoulders didn't seem to be very fragile, but I dunno. Probably just got lucky.
Got mine in the mail yesterday!!! Got a Schwalbe Graze 1/100 and a Rayleonard Alicia Unsung still yet to build. Probably saving this Sazabi for last as it is my dream kit!
i just finish biulding this kit yesterday 14/05/21.gladly i did not broke anything🙂🙂.i dont even know that that joint easily broken,just now. by watching this review..its an awesome kit..more power to you mechagaikotsu ..,
Amazing, i need it. Jesus this gunpla thing is becomin an obsession for me since last year. And im just starting! (only have 3 so far). Thanks for the vid!
+Randoman15 damn! I was wondering why it looked so familiar and turns out it was used glue lol thx for telling me. I was already starting to think that his gunpla got a disease lmao
I think the real grade are sometimes looking a bit different than the animated mobile suit, like a reinvented version to fit more like today's mobile suit
"This thing outshines the MG in every aspect" Well, outside of detail, design, overall build, comes with waterslides OOB, LED functionality ect ect ect
MG -Overly greebled -worse proportions - more parts =/= better build (Build PG RX-78-2 and you'll understand) -LEDs are a stupid cheap gimmick Waterslides are the one thing the MG has over the RG but we just have to wait until the next batch of waterslides are announced by Bandai
Had mine sitting on the shelf unboxed since about when this vid came out... And spent yesterday finally putting it together. WWWOOOOWWW! Go buy it, go buy it, GO BUY IT!
Hot tip for anyone posing their Sazabi! If you pull the back forearm armour out the wrist can extend out with a bend. It adds a bit more ease to posing with the Beam Shot Rifle and the Beam Tomahawk. Haven’t seen any reviewers showcase this so here’s the info now. Let’s hope Mecha pins this!
No. The Ver Ka is currently one of, if not the best Gundam model kit they ever produced. Despite what drugs mecha is on, the RG just cannot match the MG in design and detail.
MrFlunkorg Actually the MG Sazabi ver.ka is regarded worldwide as the best model kit ever period, among every kind of model kit (gunpla, cars, tanks, helicopters, etc. Despite tbh outside mecha models there is hardly anything able to be called proper competence)
you clearly have never seen a full-rigged vessel. if you are able to translate that level of complexity and care to detail on a gundam you are gbwc material.
I still can’t help liking the MG Ver. Ka. more. It has more detail, better proportions (in my opinion, at least), the Long Rifle, waterslides, guaranteed good shoulder joints, better panel opening gimmicks, etc. Still getting this though.
I always fail to understand why people would want to buy the real grade variant when they have the master grade already. It’s such a waste of moola. Real grades to what i believe, are usually for people who cannot afford the master grade but want something closer to that yet being more Budget friendly. Master grade definitely triumphs real grade or lower any day, that’s why it costs a lot more. But of course for eg, the date of where it first released plays a part. For instance, real grade strike freedom being a recent release have so much better gimmicks than the mg since the mg have no 2.0 yet. But I’m certain when that day happens, the 2.0 will be leaps and bounds better than the real grade. That’s not to say the real grade is not good though. It is anything but bad. Just that if you have the money, mg is the way to go.
Dragon Slayer1234 The reason why people buy RG kits when they already have the MG variants (at least for people like me) is for the experience of the build. RG kits with MG counterparts aren’t built the same as their counterparts. If not for the build, it’s for the differences in design. It doesn’t take hours of observation to find tons of differences. Some people may like the design of the RG more than the MG’s design. Even the RG Gundam Mk. II and the HG Mk. II have differences in proportions and some can prefer the RG and some can prefer the HG.
Pigeon X-18999 its natural for different people to have different views on the stated matter. I understand and i respect your opinion. I just personally feel its a waste of money to have 2 figures of the same suit!
See a lot of people comparing the ver Ka to this bad boy right here. I personally have both, and I’m willing to say that both are top notch. I like to play with my model kits and them to look nice with minimal effort put in, and that’s exactly what the RG is. Comes with really nicely molded beam parts that are actually UV responsive which I thought was neat. Personally, the transforming gimmick for the mg I never really bothered to do. Built mine over 2 years ago, poly caps are getting weak and the joints are sagging. I would say RG is the way to go
My wife got me this for Christmas. I've been looking at this kit for months when I see it at stores but now that I have one I'm too scared to build it. Ps. I've never had a Gunpla before.

The Sinanju may look like a Sazabi, but it's actually based on the Nu Gundam
you and me both.
The Sinanju is Nu Gundam stealing Sazabi's identity
who doesn't
Just finished building this, like literally two minutes ago, and HOLY SHIT, I can't stop staring at it, it's sooooooo cool
Good news, the RG Nu Gundam is just as jaw droppingly awesome, I have both locked in eternal battle looking Epic on my shelf
Might try this and Nu, dissapointed with my first 2 RGs, Freedom and Justice, hope this one delivers

Prooving Mecha knows more than the box! XD
*oh look mecha gaikotsu noticed my comment*
That’s why you don’t rush build a Real Grade.
I'm still working on the GP01-Fb RG and I've just finished assembling it and panel lines...only to deal with decals. 27 hours and counting...
Jetblast01 just... if you’re doing decals, do them once you’ve finished the limb and not once you’ve done the kit. With waterslides, do them before you’ve even attached the armour plate
I don't have a problem putting decals on a kit with limbs put together on or not. Are waterslides that tricky to do with the plates attached?
Jetblast01 sort of depends, but with waterslides, it’s just a lot easier to on individual pieces rather than limbs. Cannot explain why adequately, but it just is
I took a full week with building my full armor unicorn and just the weapons only took me 3 days. The actual mobile suit took me like 5 days
Crazy idea: what if you combined the Sazabi's shield and the Sinanju's shield together? Both keeping the beam axe blade ability.
That moment when he cut off the peg in the but flap.. so courageous
Was waiting for your review before buying it. Im excited now
Hope you buy from HLJ
Yep, all my kits come from there.
I miss your reviews like this. Concise yet informative and without unecessary content.
Wow, the details on this kit are insane! Honestly the best one I've seen as well without extra styling. Hoping they'd do an RG Nu Gundam with the same quality as this.
They did it better imo
So much more articulation!
They did already and the rg nu is amazing
Beam parts are UV responsive btw! This kit is perfection! I pause at least once a day to look at it up on the stand everyday with its dedicated spotlight shining on it! GLORIOUS IS RIGHT!
Once a real grade Nu Gundam is announced I will buy both of them in a heartbeat.
You're not alone, my friend
well wish granted, In a month we'll be getting the RG Nu Gundam
Sazabi is my all time favorite mecha and I'm super excited to see that it got such an amazing RG kit. I was going to just buy the MG but decided to be patient and see what the RG would be like. So hyped to get my hands on one!
Your missing out if your skipping the MG. Your missing out on a lot.
Curious if you ever got the MG? It’s such a presence on the shelf after all. And if the sazabi is your favourite?
This is what the RG Sinanju should've been. Well designed with the shiny armor.
the failure of sinanju is what led to this magnificence
to be honest my sinanju never gave me any problems, even if the articulation can be hard to work with sometimes it never failed to pull off any pose i displayied it in.
only issue, I broke the smaller red flap under the back leg thruster but even that was mishandling on my side.
yall need to be gentle with your gunplas if you want them to look good an stay durable (also flat topcoat works miracles for loose joint).
The sinanju didnt fail.
Its looks were great and the fact it was an RG demands extra care from the builder.
Hope they make rg sinanju like this solid sazabi. I really love sinanju but i really hate the way it .
Wise Traveler Yes It dint fail it just dint make it to the mark that the Sazabi has set. Such a shame I would be happy to throw More money at Bandai just to have a new Inner frame for the sinanju.

Maybe the "complete" version? That one doesn't look as silly. But yeah, it really isn't "RG" like.
Still looks silly to me, it's a very old design... Zaku's aged well, since they have a steampunk/tank vibe... Zeong on the other hand looks like a cheap '90 Power Ranger alien

What would you buy first, RG sazabi or MG qant full saber?
your the BEST in gundam reviews hands down!
"This thing outshines the MG in every aspect"
Well, outside of detail, design, overall build, comes with waterslides OOB, LED functionality ect ect ect
MrFlunkorg and the fact of good shoulders
i think the only aspect thats better than the mg is its articulation and stability
MG
-Overly greebled
-worse proportions
- more parts =/= better build (Build PG RX-78-2 and you'll understand)
-LEDs are a stupid cheap gimmick
Waterslides are the one thing the MG has over the RG but we just have to wait until the next batch of waterslides are announced by Bandai
Personally I like the MG more since I'm more of a sucker for 1/100 but this really takes it home at half the price.
The MG has waterslides, if you care and LEDs, if you care. Otherwise RG is way better.
hey, just build this kit after long letting it inside the cupboard. nothing can ever top rg sazabi for now.most solid, most beautiful,most detailed.
I'm really looking forward to a The-O RG now.

Just got it for Christmas. I won't have the time to build it for a few months, but I am so much looking forward to it!
Outshines the Ver Ka Mg?, weu I want some of that stuff you are smoking
Mg sazabi and rg sazabi have one thing in common. They're the best of their grade.
Well now let’s hope that we’re gonna get an RG Nightingale
oh my god yes, along with an rg hi nu
Pls make a review on the mg Sazabi ver ka.
Rg Nu Gundam please Bandai.
Jake Theberge not bandai but p bandai
That Boy or daban 😂😂
That Boy if they do I’ll be furious. As if the PG Seven Sword on the 30th Anniversary of CCA wasn’t disappointing enough
I am sure if they do a RG Nu gundam they are going to reuse another RG frame
@@abrokenemmo9254 nooooooooooo
I'm excited to see what the future of the RG line holds within it. Very excited.
Remember when he was creaming himself over the RG Unicorn? I'm sensing a pattern with you, Mecha :)
Finally a RG Sazabi review in English.
I cant wait for RG Nu Gundam!
Surprise surprise.....THE KING IS BACK
4:38 school in a nutshell
yes
The undisputed KING of Gunpla
2:05 , is this a JhobbyTheHong reference?
Oh btw, you can put the MG Qubeley wide-spread hands on the Sazabi! Just thought I'd mention that.
Great review Mecha!
The sinanju waist joint triggers me.
When i first saw the saxabi i genuinely didnt expect it to be so articulate and posable
"its glorious !"
no need to watch now HAHA
The way Sazabi turned out makes me so excited for the eventual nu gundam
Does the RG Sazabi gives out a ver Ka feeling to it?
No. The Ver Ka is currently one of, if not the best Gundam model kit they ever produced. Despite what drugs mecha is on, the RG just cannot match the MG in design and detail.
yeap thats true , I have it and its the biggest and most beatiful model in my shelf
Well, it is based on the ver Ka after all. For anime accuracy, there is either the HG or the Robot Spirits version.
MrFlunkorg Actually the MG Sazabi ver.ka is regarded worldwide as the best model kit ever period, among every kind of model kit (gunpla, cars, tanks, helicopters, etc. Despite tbh outside mecha models there is hardly anything able to be called proper competence)
you clearly have never seen a full-rigged vessel.
if you are able to translate that level of complexity and care to detail on a gundam you are gbwc material.
I'm gonna get this now because of this review 👍🏼
I still can’t help liking the MG Ver. Ka. more. It has more detail, better proportions (in my opinion, at least), the Long Rifle, waterslides, guaranteed good shoulder joints, better panel opening gimmicks, etc.
Still getting this though.
I always fail to understand why people would want to buy the real grade variant when they have the master grade already. It’s such a waste of moola. Real grades to what i believe, are usually for people who cannot afford the master grade but want something closer to that yet being more Budget friendly. Master grade definitely triumphs real grade or lower any day, that’s why it costs a lot more. But of course for eg, the date of where it first released plays a part. For instance, real grade strike freedom being a recent release have so much better gimmicks than the mg since the mg have no 2.0 yet. But I’m certain when that day happens, the 2.0 will be leaps and bounds better than the real grade. That’s not to say the real grade is not good though. It is anything but bad. Just that if you have the money, mg is the way to go.

The reason why people buy RG kits when they already have the MG variants (at least for people like me) is for the experience of the build. RG kits with MG counterparts aren’t built the same as their counterparts. If not for the build, it’s for the differences in design. It doesn’t take hours of observation to find tons of differences. Some people may like the design of the RG more than the MG’s design. Even the RG Gundam Mk. II and the HG Mk. II have differences in proportions and some can prefer the RG and some can prefer the HG.
Pigeon X-18999 its natural for different people to have different views on the stated matter. I understand and i respect your opinion. I just personally feel its a waste of money to have 2 figures of the same suit!
See a lot of people comparing the ver Ka to this bad boy right here. I personally have both, and I’m willing to say that both are top notch. I like to play with my model kits and them to look nice with minimal effort put in, and that’s exactly what the RG is. Comes with really nicely molded beam parts that are actually UV responsive which I thought was neat. Personally, the transforming gimmick for the mg I never really bothered to do. Built mine over 2 years ago, poly caps are getting weak and the joints are sagging. I would say RG is the way to go
7:01 I cried 😂
I accidentally bought metal etched parts for this kit instead of the ver. Ka. I’m excited to build this.
The Master Grade looks more accurate to the line art than the RG which looks like they added stylization from Moon Gundam,and Bargill, is he blind ?
My wife got me this for Christmas.
I've been looking at this kit for months when I see it at stores but now that I have one I'm too scared to build it.
Ps. I've never had a Gunpla before.
You get around to building?
@@alexlap8448 nope. Life has me having no time for myself lately.
I don't even have the tools to build it.
@@weichiang89 when the time is right, he will be waiting for you. No rush
Big boys reference?
Swivel... here?
No you fucks, did you watch papa rant about these comments?
I was looking for someone to comment on that big boy thing 😂
Very excited to build this kit. Should definitely help pass time during quarantine. Will get the Nu Gundam next week :)
