Overall that was a pretty good year for Gunpla, a lot of innovation in most of the lines and with the 40th anniversary i think as a community we can only be excited for what Bandai will do
Think the universal three best kits, like you mentioned, were MG dynames, mg barbatos, and rg nu. Sadly my backlog is too much right now and only have the rg nu on the way of the three
Great list! As someone who's built the Nu Zeon Gundam, I can agree you're not missing much. It was fun to slap together, and I like the general IDEA of it, but it's a poor kitbash of a kit. The Second V being on the list was also wonderful, as it's a great kit and a great design. Glad you highlighted it, and hopefully more people will pick it up!
Nice video. Unfortunately I haven’t built a kit in years, but every now and then I think about starting again :) just a curiosity, are Perfect Grades not a thing anymore? I haven’t noticed any in this clip
Tbh, I wasn’t keen on the Earthree Gundam and its variants at first, but it definitely grew on me so much that I have all of its variations, with the Mercury Armor and weapons on the way, and the Jupitive Gundam also
Jarmo Verriet not really the mg dynames is good but not amazing .its either too stiff or too weak and the big shields look good but they’re too heavy for the shoulders and end up drooping
I want an MG Barbatos Lupus Rex so badly. It is such a fantastic design and im waiting for them to announce one even though i want to just get the MG Barbatos i know patience will hopefully reward me
Great video! Since I’m kinda new to gunpla I have heard the term p-Bandai being used. I assume it means premium, yes? What does that mean, exactly? Does it have to do with availability?
Yeah premium Bandai kits are sold online only on Bandai’s official website in japan, Korea, and Hong Kong. Anywhere outside those countries and you’ve gotta buy through a proxy seller
@@ZakuAurelius Or through ebay sellers...at a higher price I reckon lol Thank you for the info! I only started getting into gunpla several months ago so I'm still figuring a few things out!
I'm one of those in the camp of "already have a cool looking NG 1/100 Barbatos don't think need a MG version". Yeah, the MG will probably happen in time to come but is of a low low low priority now. Great list by the way!
I was honestly in this camp too until I got the mg as a gift and I will say, it's really in a different league. Made the NG really feel like an off-brand product
Hope that the PG 00 Seven Sword is on that next list. I built it and have to say that it is a phenomenal kit. And I am in full agreement with your list, Zack. Great job!
This list was great! Barbatos at Number 1 was definitely on point! But I actually would have liked to see the Re/100 Zaku Kai. I think that kit was just really good and it really revolutionized the RE/100 line by featuring no polycaps. Definitely a real solid kit that other kits in the line don't compare with in terms of stability. Not to mention great color and parts separation too!
The FZ was a very solid kit, but on the other hand it took a step backwards in having a couple seam lines where past RE kits did a great job of hiding all the seams
I like your list, but you missed the beautiful HGCE Destiny Gundam. For that price, it's got everything! Beautiful kit. Also, will you be doing a review of FAZZ Version Katoki when it comes out?
@@daisukeniwa402645 It was so much fun. The plastic of the runners is the same type as the MG Jegan where it's extra soft. The main suit is wonderful. The only critique I would have is the cannon's backpack is little wonkey/hollow compared to the rest of the kit. I recommend the build and can't recall any issues making it.
To be fair the MG S/Ex S 1.5 is a pretty neat package as you get 2 kits for less than the original price of the old MG S Gundam and MG ExS combined. Not the best priced kit of course but for Sentinel fans who haven’t got a ExS this is a decent deal.
You have to build one or the other, much like the 1/100 Gusion and Gusion Rebake set. For those that prefer the S over the Ex-S like me, they'll be left with a pile of plastic that they won't ever use, so IMO the price tag is too much even though the parts are way better. That being said, I do have to admit that it's a blessing for Ex-S fans as they get a much better kit with more modern details, just wish we could have two separate kits instead.
tbh 2019 is way better than 2018. right after China bootleg shutdown, Bandai seems pretty confident w releases and kit choices. AoZ is one of the blessing i never thought it'd happen this much.
Have had the MG Barbatos for almost a month already... can't wait to build it... it's just not in my build queue yet... i have an app that randomizes the build queue, so who knows when i'll get to build it... can't wait though...
2019 has been a pretty weak year for HGUC.. half the good stuff end up getting P Bandai'ed. and they even pull a P Bandai AoZ campaign to dive deep into our pocket books. 👎
My problem for the next year will be the desert zaku, it shouldn't have been p Bandai as well as the Zaku cannon (if any help I'm pretty into zakus, so even if for some people it's okay to not get more Zeke variants as P-B, I'm bothered for getting pretty much just the color variants as regular releases)
@@UselessFox224 The hg the origin line makes 0 sense. They release kits like the Zaku I kycilla and 2 versions of chars zaku i and zaku ii that should be p-bandai as normal kits. Then they make the better versions of the zaku cannon, gm interceptor, act zaku, and gm guard custom p-bandai. What would you rather have? a black zaku i with a tiny bump on his head or a kit with new parts and a new design like the gundiver, act zaku, zaku cannon, or heavy gundam?
Spicy just on some AoZ hater shit again. Btw, your weak ass claim that AoZ was a scam for "brainwashed AoZ fans" using 2006 tech, literally everything besides the already existing Hazels they reprinted have been new kits. And the reason those 2 kits got reprinted is because they were ahead of their time and STILL solid kits to this day that combine with the other kits. You're just on some hater shit because I guess they didn't release enough Zeon kits, I guess? Idk why. But it's lame dude. Get over it. Weaksauce and not a good look.
Honestly was expecting the Re/100 Zaku II Kai to come up after the MG Alex. I know you didn’t particularly care for it, but it was a nice surprise for it being in a line that bandi didn’t consider it MG material.
HG Destiny Gundam Heine Westenfluss (very biased because I LOVE the colour orange on any MS) but also the RG Unicorn for just the best version of it to come out compared to the HG, MG and even PG (which is definitely a good kit but for most people, with the LED gimmick just cant pose like the RG can)
I really like the design of the Nu-Zeon Gundam but the only reason I haven't gotten it yet is because they gave the kit tiny hands so it can hold that giant sword. the sword was designed to be compatible with standard size HG kits. Nu Gundam is big so anything made specifically for it would be too big for other kits to hold so they gave Nu-Zeon Gundam small hands. the worst part is that they removed the old hands from the frame runner. so Nu-Zeon is forever stuck with tiny hands unless you get the Build Knuckle replacements.
I have the Dynames, the Barbatos and the RG Nu and I still haven't built any one them yet. Too much in my backlog. I'm going to try really hard to not buy anymore kits this year so I can catch up.
I'm surprised the MG Narrative Sinanju Stein didn't make it on the worst list, it's an extremely lazy release that feels like it was originally a P-Bandai but was made retail at the last second. They really couldn't engineer sleeve parts seperation on an MG in 2018/2019 but could do so on an RG from 2016?
Other than snubbing the Destiny, I totally agree with the list. You may have softballed the Gustav's flaws though. Some of the engineering on that one is really good, but the bad parts are really bad.
Since I started this hobby about a year ago, I've come back to your channel over and over. Good content and informative. I actually have to disagree and say the build divers new zeon looks pretty cool, just needs a different paint job.
I'm just patiently waiting for some of the other important Seed kits to get released in master grade. The main ones I want are Savior, Akatsuki, and Ginn. Savior and Akatsuki seem like guaranteed master grades at some point, Ginn not so much.
MG Barbatos is a kit that is really going to speak to people who build a lot of Gunpla and want something different. Even as the third 1/100 Barbatos in the last 4 years, it just feels totally unlike anything we've had before. It also makes me like that design, which I absolutely did not in previous versions. It isn't necessarily more solid or packed with more gimmicks than Dynames or Alex or the F90, it's just different and fun to build and feels very mechanical and intricate in a way that is satisfying to detail.
GotNextVideo personally feel like the f90 is a lot more fun tbh, I'm building the mg barbatos ATM, and honestly it's a 2.0 kit with a less neat fun inner frame gimmick, and it's the near closest thing to the 2.0 era of kits which is probably one of the main appeals for it.
@@dol_mel7487 I like the F90 better just as a design. It's one of my all time favorites, I am seriously considering a second one, but it's very "classic". Just a clean, straightforward, Gundam-ass Gundam. Barbatos is weird and different, so that's pretty refreshing. The frame almost feels like a mini PG. I also have to say, for more intermediate/advanced builders Barbatos offers a lot of really good detailing opportunities. That inner frame is like painting an engine in a car model. It's really pretty cool. I never cared for the Barbatos just in general so the fact that the new kit has sold me so well says something.
@@GotNextVideo ehhhh calling the mg barbatos frame like a mini-PG is honestly cutting PGs short, the last kit I built before the mg barbatos was the mg astray blue frame D and honestly that so far has been a far more interesting and refreshing experience. Also I would just wait for a inevitable p-bandai f90 unit 2
@@dol_mel7487 I want an S-Type and a P-Type so having the regular F90 makes sense.. they will still be different enough. Maybe calling Barbatos a mini PG is a stretch but calling it a 2.0 is also probably selling it a little short. It feels nothing like the old 1/100 kit, or really anything in Gunpla. So there's that "new" factor.
has anyone tryed using fiskars scissors or products like them for cutting the parts off the runners, they seem alot better too me but i just wanted other opinions
For me the stinker of 2019 was HGUC R-Jarja. A lot of flimsy fit, arms popping out, bad gun fit. I could not make the rotating shoulder shield gimmick work. Not really complaining about this one because i don't like gimmicks like that anyway. I bought HGUC ECOAS Jegan last year which is a variation of HGUC Jegan from ten years ago. Everything fits so perfectly and tightly, almost as if it was designed in 2019 and R-Jarja - in 2009.
the nu zeon was such a disappointment. I actually like the design because i was just in the mood for something gaudy and stupid, but the actual construction of it was so....oof
Geoff G the fact that they tried to make the kit like a super hero was probably the reason why it looks so drab. Honestly, the moon Gundam is a better representation of the Nu and Sazabi than what we got
Yes I NEED a gurren Mark 2. I might pick up the HG version from years ago but an MG would be much better. I do have an Escaflowne moderoid kit on the way which makes me pretty happy as far as older mecha goes. I also saw a preorder for a new gurren lagann kit but i have no idea about the company making it. Plaiobot or something
@@BOOGiNS I'm glad you liked it though, but I'd definitely go out and try some kits from 2.0 era (around 2007ish) as I think you'll really like them too (the astray mgs are pretty fun).
Right off the bat, I knew Barbatos would be the choice for the best kit of 2019
One of the best :).
same
Cries in dynames
I only build 1/144 kits. But I would drop money for a MG Seravee or Barbie Lupus.
Am the same way but had to get Barbie, worth every penny!
Overall that was a pretty good year for Gunpla, a lot of innovation in most of the lines and with the 40th anniversary i think as a community we can only be excited for what Bandai will do

Since they released MG Alex I hope we get a new MG Kampfer.
Inb4 it's just as flimsy
yes puhlease
How about a MG Hygogg
Just got the RG Nu yesterday. It's a little buried in my backlog but I can't wait to get after it! Great list Zaku!
Just to follow up. I'm finished with my main build, just detailing now. I loved every second of it.
Tbh, I wasn’t keen on the Earthree Gundam and its variants at first, but it definitely grew on me so much that I have all of its variations, with the Mercury Armor and weapons on the way, and the Jupitive Gundam also
Great list Zaku. im definatly gonna use it as reference for what kits i need to build.
Im retired builder but when I saw your review on MG Barbatos, instantly bought it and its really satisfying..the articulation is really crazy good !!!

Just did my first completed gundam build and it the barbatos lupus totally agree the feet are hard to balance on
I have the MG Barbatos and all I can say is that this kit is truly amazing.
I personally don't see any appeal to the MG Nu Ver. Ka over the RG just because of the floppy wing
Love the P-Bandai Doms, saw them at Gundam Base Tokyo. Really sad they are not regular releases. (Wallet is happy though).
Weird question, but does anyone know what frame glasses Zaku is wearing?
I do! Acropolis. Kind of a no-name brand as far as I know 🤷♂️ they were pretty cheap
Master grade barbatos was the first gunpla I ever built. I just always liked the barbatos. Good to know I started out strong
Too strong! 😬
@@ZakuAurelius I'm used to peaking early
I don't get the hate for the nu zeon. The sword alone is worth it but its definitely in the front of my collection I think it looks really cool

7:54 is that an ak-47????!!!I need that0
the nu zeon was such a disappointment. I actually like the design because i was just in the mood for something gaudy and stupid, but the actual construction of it was so....oof
Geoff G the fact that they tried to make the kit like a super hero was probably the reason why it looks so drab. Honestly, the moon Gundam is a better representation of the Nu and Sazabi than what we got
Death army has the best transformation of the year!!!!
What does it transform into?
@@terreausore2435 oh ok
@@terreausore2435 exactly. Lol
I wanna see some Code Geass MGs. I know they aren't technically "Gunpla" but I'd love to own a couple of them from the show.
CoDy McCollum woild love some evangelion ones
Yes I NEED a gurren Mark 2. I might pick up the HG version from years ago but an MG would be much better.
I do have an Escaflowne moderoid kit on the way which makes me pretty happy as far as older mecha goes. I also saw a preorder for a new gurren lagann kit but i have no idea about the company making it. Plaiobot or something
Lol If Mechagaikotsu won’t do it, ZakuAurelius will
🤷♂️ I’ve done it for the past few years so why not keep up tradition!
Mecha said he's working on one. It'll probably be the same kits though. MG dynames, Barbatos, RG Nu, Crossbone
Yes barbatos I want to have one
oooooooh * grabs popcorn *
Gotta get that MG barabtos
I think the alex and barbatos should deserve the no.1 mg as both are perfect on their own specs..
i need that mg barbatos and mg dynames!
No HGCE destiny? Shame 😢
Yeah idk why but it is better compared to earth three
@@johngapud9934 same, those effects tho, one of the greatest hg to be put on your shelves.
I think I messed up. I just bought the barbatos as my first build lol. Is it all downhill from here? Jk
You'll be fine as long as you follow the instructions in the manual and have done some research on basic building techniques.
KiDD ViDD lol nah, the mg barbatos is hardly the best mg out there
Just finished it today. So many moving parts! Love the poses tho. Wish the chin didn't come off so easily
@@BOOGiNS I'm glad you liked it though, but I'd definitely go out and try some kits from 2.0 era (around 2007ish) as I think you'll really like them too (the astray mgs are pretty fun).
@@dol_mel7487 thanks for the suggestion. I'll look some up. Just got the wing Gundam xxxg ver ka and bael in the 1/100
I’m surprised he didn’t mention the HG sandrock
A good HG, but didn’t really stand out
It was alright. It was nostalgia at best, and a lot of work is needed to make that kit stand out.
It was... alright. Not the best.
