you get 2 or 3 swings off the mace before it falls off to reveal the sword.... it's model kit not an action figure.... it's not gonna be swinging the sword so that is kind of a weird point to make.
In my case, top coat solved most issues. Side skirt are still an issue, but not really that much unless you wanna display them and the wing subarms extended. Still falls back from time, but is easily manageable.
Is it really that bad? It's an HGIBO kit with everything (good or bad) that comes with it. Color correcting stickers for more complex designed mobile suits? Check. The gimmick of a common inner frame that's not meant to hold bulkier armors? Check. If you could forgive something like the Gusion Rebake Full City you'll probably be fine with this one. Otherwise you probably won't like it. 🤷♂️
On my copy the entire waist was just to back heavy and that ball joint wasn't doing a very good job at being a solid piece so i just glued the waist and replaced the ball joint with those insulators for wires (you know those things that they put into the wire and then heat up and shrink) wrapped it around with multiple layers and after that the kit was a joy to pose and it was very solid and posable
As with any HG with lots of gigantic, long parts sticking out everywhere with an outdated frame that cant hold them, its impossible to handle without it falling apart and cant do much, not much surprise here.
Bought this kit today, and that back heavy/waste joint problem is with all my ibo kits, gusion re bake and gusion re bake full city both have this issue bad, just needs a deeper stronger ball joint
Every IBO kits I've put together has had problems with mid torso and arms falling off for no reason. It seems to be a kit series problem in general. HG Kimaris was the most solid build for me though. None of the problems I've had with the others I've had
4:10 Ah Jesus' favorite spot on the Gundam Frames of IBO. 6:02 I mean Marchosias was once one of the Dominions which makes for an interesting connection with Hashmal. Kinda why I intend to remodel its head as a shield for Mari along with adding the tail. 12:20 Well it is suppose to be able to turn into a wolf so... modifications? Plus Hashmal's beam cannon could tie into the "something foul" from the wolf's mouth. (Edit) 14:04 ….. Yeah I was thinking more like Flauros' arms while using some altered state for the legs rather than borrowing anymore from Flauros other than its railguns.
Well while I may have ideas my modeling skills leave something to be desired as far as I'm concerned and are rather lacking for proper execution without possibly going through parts. (Something my wallet would not agree with.) I'm still waiting on the kit to show up being a few days out. Then I need to actually get Hashmal which I don't have yet and may wait til my next paycheck or later to buy given groceries & such are a bit more important right now. So in conclusion I'm sorry to disappoint but it may be a while before it comes close to anything short of just resting pieces on it let alone any pictures, which given the difficulty I had simply adding one of a quick slap together Fenice fusion to my PS4 from a phone pic may render it something I either forget or just straight up don't do. Though if anyone else feels up to using the idea have at it. I'll mostly stick to what I can make free of charge in GB3/NGB for the most part.
after astaroth being a nightmare and broken (not fully i still completed him) marchosias could be an improvement with a few joints, overall might be better that full city and astaroth who doesnt have weight BUT HAS A BALL JOINT ON A STICK so he jazzes me
After have watched your review I think I'll buy one this kit and build it. I was disappointed and I still am, because all you told in the review let us know that the kit has a lot of runners of previews years and all of the stickers. By the way, you showed me the light of hope, as the light of a candle in the wind; as a fan the IBO Anime, I can't turn my back to this Gundam, and you demonstrated there is some potential in this Gunpla. I hope to do the right choice; thanks for this so wonderful, detailed and passionate reviews, have a nice day!
@Boomsie It's always a pleasure to follow you and all the Gunpla Network staff! Your review really convinced me to go for this kit, because looking only at its characteristics, I think I wouldn't do it. My problem is that I'm not an advanced Gunpla builder, so I don't know how to improve this kit when I'll buy it. So it's highly probable I put it in the best pose I can and leave it as it stands for the rest of its life...ah ah ah! If you have any suggestions, please write me: it would be awesome! Thanks for your answer to my comment, and compliments again for your awesome review! Have a nice day, see you soon!
How do you not include one of the Gusion Rebake’s sticker sheets bro? Have you even seen them. The Full City made me feel like that kit needs Jesus cus wow... I bought it anyway to test my paint skills and practice using my airbrush though lol. My problem with this kit is that it’s pretty expensive for a kit that needs a lot of work, meanwhile the Full City and norm rebake are pretty cheap.
The Marchiosias really could of been better, and it shows bandai didn't really put too much effort. Plus for the price it's going for I'd just go get the origin Gundam, or save it for the HGUC Messer

You can buy the HG 1/144 Marchosias at HobbyLink Japan right here: shop.hlj.com/32RDnnn

I'm super excited to work on fixing this kit. I already bought it 🤣
@Boomsie yesss. Maybe black with red and gold accents. Who knowsssss
@Boomsie I'm excited to see your Easter demon

Nicely said man
GBFC is 14$ in 2020 vs 25$ though, I can wait for a price drop lol
Agree

For me it was the kimaris vidar that isn’t having issues
1:36 oh you did some pane... I'm already done with this kit.
I guess you missed the part right before showing the sticker sheet
I know about the enormous sheet, the joke was that the part looked so good from afar just to be ruined up close. I know, it's not best humor ever.
I got it and with amount of paint work to it, I’m very sure I can make Marchosias look better. It’s all about putting more effort to it.
Hashmal wings are better xD lol!
Plus imagine the sub-arms contest against Kshatriya, The O and Gusion Rebakes.
And the Rase Two
Barbato's would have been proud
That one-foot pose was amazing ❤️

maybe make the ball joints on the binders tight.. its a hg what more can we expect.. 😂
@Boomsie hahahah ya that gorilla arms... anyway its quick fix though
Just be careful and make sure to not use too much paint, because the joint might snap on you if it ended up too tight.
the only gundam to be in 5 sword fights at once
Same problem with the Gusion Rebake Full City, the upper body is too heavy. But it's look awesome, anh I still buy it
Although its not that bad and I love it proud having one
I need to figure out how I am going to mod the binders and have sub arms more like the Gusion Rebake Full City
I got it! Here's to hoping it arrives before Christmas. Lol
14:03 Bruh 😂
Reminds me of the Alexander from Code Geass tho.
after astaroth being a nightmare and broken (not fully i still completed him) marchosias could be an improvement with a few joints, overall might be better that full city and astaroth who doesnt have weight BUT HAS A BALL JOINT ON A STICK so he jazzes me
Great review sir, i like the posing at the end. Really good

get that gundam marker
This kit will definitely need work
Gotta do some painting and tightening
So is the Marchosias good to get? Cause I am a IBO fan too.
for the price yes
I like the design.....but the sticker.....nope
I just found marchosias for 20usd and got the waist extender custom piece. Now I gotta use the joint tightener while building this big boi
i want this kit....am i .....stupid?
The Marchiosias really could of been better, and it shows bandai didn't really put too much effort.
Plus for the price it's going for I'd just go get the origin Gundam, or save it for the HGUC Messer
Finally someone else into the messer
@@GunplaNetwork there are three of us :D
@@GunplaNetwork 4!
Thats an ugly spider transformation near the end hahaha
Really f bad gunpla, so fragile, shit😕
