@@aaronmontgomery2055 idk tho. If they do the RG Scythe and Epyon with the Wing Gundam frame, it would be a fucking disaster. And I'm not sure if the Tallgeese frame would fit actual gundams.
Yea ok buddy sure it looks like shit. In what way? It's literally the latest HG Bandai has put out and it is a spitting image of the line art. Are you just hating on it just to hate? Your comment is hands down the dumbest comment in this section.
@@porkflaps4717 you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. I'm saying that before this kit, there wasn't much that the Sandrock had going for it. This HG is one of the best versions of this Gundam so far. Next time read a bit more carefully. There was absolutely no hate behind my words.

MG (talking about Gundam Wing Anime): "I'm not gonna lie, I've never been the biggest fan of..." Me: *raises pitchfork and torch* MG: "...High Grade kits" Me: *lowers pitchfork and torch*
Heavyarms Custom/EW has already gotten multiple MGs. Would be awesome to see Heavyarms TV version get at least a high quality HG update like this Sandrock, though I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for an RG of it. It would go perfectly with the new Tallgeese TV RG, to recreate the Arctic battle!
Those extra loadout stuff should be a P-Bandai set and not necessarily needing to build a full kit again. Just extra parts. With the Heavyarms Kai parts.
Sandrock always had the most minimalist look of all the five wing mobile suits. And this kit just proves how a minimalist design can be good if its done with effort and dedication. Bandai certainly put a lot into this kit, given its low price point and availability as a normal release, its such a cool thing to have for both experienced builders (nostalgia) and new enthusiasts! Great review!
I recently got back into Gunpla, and it's wild how different kits are from the 1995 Wing kits I used to get. I remember building that Sandrock and now I'm gonna need to grab this one.
Personally I've always loved the gundams that have the middle forehorn motif. like the justice/ aegis / kimaris vidar and throne ein for example and the sandrock's really looks super good! I love it!
As far as proportions go, I have always felt that the original Okawara lineart was a bit “thick” and that the animation thinned out the proportions. To me, this HG is true to the animated version... which I am thankful for. In my opinion, the wonky proportions Okawara gave the designs were always “saved” by the animation. Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed designs are especially true of this.
The old no grade was the gunpla I actually painted. Glad to see this again to build and paint. Only this time I've got 17 years of experience painting and building.
I like to use nippers for the first nip and sharp toenail clippers for the second, it delivers a strong quick snap that leaves no stress marks. I also sometimes use some sandpaper to clean it up.
Totally sold me on this, gonna pick one up. Also, I want to chime in and say that I really appreciate the functional articulation that you point out on the legs, keep it up Mecha!
GBM is a great game once you get the chance check it out! i love it, and you would too it has customizable gunpla EVEN THE N-TD for the unicorn and banshee (sorry iF this made you more jealous btw)
Thanks for the review. I think Bandai forgot Sandrock's uzi-looking gun. I remembered seeing it in the anime a few times and they usually don't miss details. Like how the HG Wing Zero's shield can extend and i remember seeing it only once in the anime.
Since we got the RG Tallgeese, Tallgeese II, Wing Gundam, and Epyon. To really complete the sets, we need a RG of, Heavyarm, Sandrock, Shenlong, Deathscythe, Leo, Aeris, Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus, and Proto Wing Zero Gundam.
I love this particular kit so much i bought 3 i know it sounds weird i bought 2 for me and 1 for my buddy he gave it back to me when he moved and now i have 2 custom painted and one not touched
My first gunpla was HG Heavyarms based on your recommendation, thus is my second gunpla! I want to move on to MG next but also want hg wing and the upcoming hg deathscythe!!
iirc the HGAC kits in the HGUC line are actually done in a slightly different scale to make them fit size-wise with the other HG kits From Gundam Wikia Mobile suits that are 15 meters tall such as the F91 Gundam F91 and XXXG-01W Wing Gundam are actually not molded in 1/144 scale; instead, they are at 1/132 scale.
I actually just bought this gunpla! I have been a fan for not even a year and it has made me a changed person! Btw I as well highly recommend this gunpla, and for those who bought it is very small and light.
I have this older version of this and it was a pain painting the yellow parts of the skirt and shield bec it doesnt come with yellow colored plastics. This one is amazing. i love the yellows 😆
heavyarms and Deathscythe would sell SOO well in the west I think we will get all of these (including G unit kits, which I'm stoked for) but it'll take time
This looks like an awesome kit! I’m not a fan of this design or wing in general but after building the rg Tallgeese and a few Leos, I think I may need to add this and a few mags to my collection.
After the new HGs of Wing and Wing Zero, I'm kind of surprised they went with Sandrock next. You'd think they would have prioritized Tallgeese or Epyon before moving on to the other Gundams. You know, for the sake of starting the HGAC line with that old hero and villain symmetry. Not that I'm complaining, of course. I'm happy to be getting modern HG kits of ANY mobile suits from the 90's, especially Wing or X.
For the boxart, the one with the "Gundam Breaker Mobile Product Code Set" is actually the first run version of the box. The standard version looks like vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/1/12/HGAC_Gundam_Sandrock.jpg this.
Really hope Bandai goes all out and does all the suits, the grunts as well as gundams. However, the tv version heavyarms did not have the gatling gun as its arm, it was handheld. The only time the gun replaced the arm was when Trowa lent heavyarms to Heero to fight against Zechs at alaska/antarctica
I recently bought 5 HGs of WingEW, SR-EW, HA-EW, DS-EW and Tallgeese III from 1998 ... the color accuracy is all over the window (the Tallgeese only has white runners) articulation inexistant (no anckle for example) and ... yeah not that fun to build... but yeah with them finished I won't buy AC kits for a while and focus on IBO or UC kits
I was expecting the Tallgeese to be a bit (way) taller. Too bad there is no option parts to make the space variant of Sandrock (Sandrock Kai) like the bean uzi submachine gun, modified thrusters on the shoulder and the modified backpack with additional thrusters (eliminating the cross crusher feature). But I will still get one to update my Gundam Wing collection when it is available. Compare the old basic 1/144 with the new one.
Waiting for a HGAC Epyon and the Deathscythe
I see them doing a rg of the syth
@@aaronmontgomery2055 Yeah and the Epyon too, they alredy have the heat rod from the Tallgeese III
I’m waiting for an RG Epyon EW.
@@aaronmontgomery2055 idk tho. If they do the RG Scythe and Epyon with the Wing Gundam frame, it would be a fucking disaster. And I'm not sure if the Tallgeese frame would fit actual gundams.
And Heavy arms, and altron
Sandrock really didn't get much love, in my opinion. This has definitely turned that around.

@@MechaGaikotsu personally, I want the same thing haha
Cpt.Philippines true but can you be more original 🙃
I want a decent HG Heavyarms as well.
@@jaysterdeeznuts well in terms of Wing kits, its a toss up between Deathscythe and Heavyarms. Either extremely close range or extremely long range

*HELL*
The heavyarms and sandrock are two of the gundams that have a special place in my heart

I really wish G Gundam HGs gets this much love.
Ryo Sakazaki you mean the long name or the quality
@@jaysterdeeznuts The quality of course. Lol
Ryo Sakazaki lol
I would die for a hg shuffle alliance
We're gonna have another g gundam kit in november i think
Lets all be honest here..The REAL suits we need from Gundam Wing is...Mercurius and Vayeate
Hopefully it won't be P-Bandai.
Yeah those two need a revive real bad.
Still waiting on the Aries. Realistically waiting for the Mercurius, Vayeate, and Virgo since they so closely resemble the Tallgeese/Leo mold.
I'd like to see the Pisces and Cancer while they're at it, and the Taurus mobile dolls lol.
Just give us everything that is in wing
"I hate sand it's coarse rough irritating and it gets everywhere"
Yeah but.......he's not wrong
I’d like all of Gundam Wing to get the real grade treatment. I’d love an RG Epyon and Heavyarms custom
And Proto Zero!
Definitely Epyon!!! I like all the mobile suits but Epyon hasn’t gotten a lot of love.
Heavyarms Custom/EW has already gotten multiple MGs. Would be awesome to see Heavyarms TV version get at least a high quality HG update like this Sandrock, though I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for an RG of it. It would go perfectly with the new Tallgeese TV RG, to recreate the Arctic battle!
Rg epyon coming this 2023
Hopefully, this means the others are released throughout 2020.
I want Heavyarms so bad.
Marcel Edel It is now real. Now where is my bois the shenlong and Deathscythe
@@MrRe-pg7fj both are either incoming or real now!
@@irex_models Shenlong is now real

Man wish the endless waltz with cape that Bandai release
I give my soul for a HGAC Heavyarms Gundam.
I just hope they get around to give us an aries, any grade, I'll gladly take a no-grade aries if I can, even pbandai if I really must.
NPC I’d love a Tragos and Pisces as well.
I need Heavyarms custom revive
Well your wish si true.. There is HGAC Heavyharms in now
@@jeraldvargas2356 I want more now, can I sell my soul more than once?
Master Quatre Winner sure likes his new sandrock, however bandai forgot the uzi type weapon
I smell P-bandai Sandrock Kai XD
Yeah, only Kai had that loadout. Vanilla only had the shotels.
Yeah im surprise too. The uzi slot is on the gundam too
Those extra loadout stuff should be a P-Bandai set and not necessarily needing to build a full kit again. Just extra parts. With the Heavyarms Kai parts.
@@allenusison3124 P-Bandai HGUC Crossbone X1 Kai has minor change and need to build full kit again
I pray for EW Sanrock Kai, I just really love the dark knight color scheme.
And the friggin' uzi!
Don't forget the cool cloak/cape of that bad boy 😁

glad to see bandai is making some improvements nowadays!
Just bought this kit today, can't wait to work on it! Thanks for the preview and information
This is what I've been waiting for. Ever since it's release, I was checking if you've already uploaded a review for this kit.
The old no grade was the gunpla I actually painted. Glad to see this again to build and paint. Only this time I've got 17 years of experience painting and building.
Dude I never knew you were from Ireland. The voice makes SO much more sense now.
On better news, we might get revamps of the G Gundam kits!
Russell Sales All I want is Tequila Gundam on any grade (MG mostly)
I like to use nippers for the first nip and sharp toenail clippers for the second, it delivers a strong quick snap that leaves no stress marks. I also sometimes use some sandpaper to clean it up.
Totally sold me on this, gonna pick one up. Also, I want to chime in and say that I really appreciate the functional articulation that you point out on the legs, keep it up Mecha!
Cannot wait to see how shenlongs dragon arms articulate with 2019 hg tech
Just put mine together last night. Hope they make a HGAC Heavyarms as well.
GBM is a great game once you get the chance check it out! i love it, and you would too it has customizable gunpla EVEN THE N-TD for the unicorn and banshee (sorry iF this made you more jealous btw)
Don't be tempted, JUST DO IT. Just made ur leo army.
I might though. I have a lot of leftover weapons from the P-bandai leos that need hands!

When sandrock sits with flamingos
Thanks for the review. I think Bandai forgot Sandrock's uzi-looking gun. I remembered seeing it in the anime a few times and they usually don't miss details. Like how the HG Wing Zero's shield can extend and i remember seeing it only once in the anime.
i would love to see the high-grade version of the OZ-12SMS Taurus
I want an HG Taurus so bad
Along with the TV ver of the Gundams, really hoping we get a new Taurus kit. I'd def buy a P-Bandai of a white one too.
When will we get the Mechagaikotsu custom dantalion?
Yeah. Im also waiting for that
Since we got the RG Tallgeese, Tallgeese II, Wing Gundam, and Epyon. To really complete the sets, we need a RG of, Heavyarm, Sandrock, Shenlong, Deathscythe, Leo, Aeris, Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus, and Proto Wing Zero Gundam.
Hoping for hg Wing revive kit.. The only hg wing that is kinda ok is hg wing fenice...
I managed to by most of the VHS tapes for Wing at a small flea market for $10 about 7 years ago money well spent.
Sweet I just got my own Gundam Sandrock! Cant wait to build it!
0:37 Well, now I want to see a review of that Optimus Prime masterpiece

This Sandrock along with the Heavyarms Custom EW were the first MS i ever knew about cos my brother got their MSIA figures back in the early 2000s.
I must have it. I've been waiting for a new Sandrock for what feels like an eternity.
I got this exact kit today from my local Barnes & Nobel! Teuly a memorable GunPla Kit!
People going crazy over "flip Heavyarms around" are not catching the 8:05 "RG Wing Zero EW."
Dude you have no idea how happy I was hearing the toonami wing theme takes me back
Hahahaha “Flip Heavyarms around and it slots right here.” I’m not sure why this made me chuckle a bit more than I should have.
I absolutely love mine, the downside is the V-fin pops off if I so much as look at it.
I'm glad they've gotten around to making an HG for the Sandrock and Wing Gundam. I hope we see Epyon, Deathscythe and the rest as well some time soon.
I have this older version of this and it was a pain painting the yellow parts of the skirt and shield bec it doesnt come with yellow colored plastics. This one is amazing. i love the yellows 😆
I got into gunpla at the right time.
And now we're on the cusp of getting the HGAC Heavyarms.
Either Dreadscythe or Tallgeese better be next!
Im already pre order 1.i cant wait to get it
10:32. You said flip heavy arm around haha 😂🙇🏻♂️
that waist joint involved in ab-crunch was also in the gyan hguc
I'm calling it now: HGAC Sandrock Kai & Heavyarms Kai P-Bandai set
heavyarms and Deathscythe would sell SOO well in the west
I think we will get all of these (including G unit kits, which I'm stoked for) but it'll take time
I'm so glad that I am not alone who waits for the whole team of gundam wing to be release!
I hope they are planning to do a HG Sandrock Gundam custom. Because that's my favourite version of Sandrock Gundam
Can't wait to paint those undersides at the shoulders once I get my hands on this kit.
And I hope the knees on your MP-44 is doing fine.
Really nice about those clear parts cant wait to see whats next
I sense the absolute "Winner" puns there! xD lol!
The Jiyan Altron and Love Phantom both indicates future release of both Altron and Death Scythe
The Altrom, maybe. But the sad truth of love phantom is it's a seed kit.
This looks like an awesome kit! I’m not a fan of this design or wing in general but after building the rg Tallgeese and a few Leos, I think I may need to add this and a few mags to my collection.
Ok, all 5 HG gundams fine and whatever.
HGAC Taurus when?
HGAC Serpent Custom when?
That also would be great
Maybe this will finally be what triggers the RG Gudam Wing models into existence. God knows we’ve been waiting long enough for those.

Out of focus zone of the enders. Excellent taste
I am fine with it being slimmer as long as they didn't change any of the details of the design.
