Sucks may be a bit much as a description; don't get me wrong I still think is kits are are cool (I mean there are WAY worse kits in the line). For me, the kit just doesn't capture the Rex's same epic-ness from the show for some reason.
Boerbok Man: Dude, do you even know what you are talking about? We are talking about Barbatos LUPUS, not Lupus REX. For me Lupus is one of the most revolutionary, well-rounded, bad-ass Gundam design OF ALL TIME. Rex you need to buy the 1/100, the HG is a disappointment.
Io Frame is a great kit to paint too. The armor is mostly snapped on just the front of the frame and that helps new comers to painting by making it a lot easier to add on and not worry over seamlines
The part that bothered me the most was after all the despicable and back-handed things Rustal Elion did he gets away not only scot free, he gets a PROMOTION.
You've got good taste, the Lupus is what got me back into gunpla after a decade, that thing is so sexy. Easily my favorite Gunda, and the swordmace is by far my favorite gundam weapon. I'm surprised the grimgerde didn't make it into the top 5, you really seemed to like it.
I do have the hg Barbatos lupus and I gave it the love and care it truly deserves (That would mean getting MS option sets for the damn thing and weaponizing it for my taste). I can't believe that this kit was number one by your standards and I am amazed and proud. Look forwrd to your future videos soon.
Me” I just finished painting the inner frame of the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex, I’ll watch a video while I wait for the paint to dry.” *Video shoes the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex as the 5th worst* *Cries on the inside*
Delta Vortex it’s not bad, the problem was that the arms are too weak for the mace and and that’s almost it. Really you just need to modify it so it can hold the mace
I ended up really liking Amida as a character, so after I finished watching IBO I really wanted to get her Hyakuren. I agree that the articulation on the kit is objectively bad, especially due to how Bandai handled the side skirting, but I don't see the lack of an inner frame to be a problem. I think part of what helps is that Amida's variant includes another rifle, so you can have it wielding both akimbo style with the knife mounted on the rear skirting for more of a fully-loaded look.
Barbatos Lupus was the first High Grade kit I’ve built and I loved it. Lupus is also one of my favorite Gundams as well, and probably my favorite Gundam from IBO.
Surprised the HG Lupus Rex didn't make the worst, and i'm surprised Hyakuren got so low, I own it and i'm very happy with it. The only real problem I have with it is the balance due to the small feet, articulation services well for me, and it's got things like double jointed elbows which is something not often seen in IBO HG's.
The main problem is the lack of it being like the other IBO kits, it lacks a proper innerframe. I like the design and even painted mine silver. It would buy more of it if it fit in. Quite honestly I hate the route they went with many of their kits having no innerframe head, and the Teiwaz kits almost completely lacking an innerframe body. It just doesn't feel like an IBO kit.
ExtremeSManpig i actually liked the hg lupus rex as it can some how stand without a stand while one hand holding up its mace in the air,unlike its 1/100 ver,it had to thank the leg frame of the lupus tho for giving such a great balance tho
I'm gonna really miss IBO. really loving the stream of videos you've been putting out MechaGaikotsu, it's great! Ranking videos are fun so more like this in the future would be nice to see, especially from other Gundam series.
IMO the only true bad IBO kit was the 1/100 Gusion, that was a huge marketing mistake on Bandai's part The rest of the "worst" list was completely subjective
i can agree. I'd like to get a Gusion Rebake 1/100 (would prefer a Full City, but oh well) but I cant get it without paying for extra plastic I wouldn't ever use at all from the Gusion. It's not even HG where I could kit bash its parts with other grunt suits, it would just be forever in the box
@@defalt2838 Any chance that’s still available? Longshot but still worth an ask. That huge hammer would be great for a kitbash and no MG so this is the only Gusion Rebake in 1/100
I literally searched for your review seconds before i picked up barbatos lupus... i loved it! Thanks for your review it helped me choose lupus over the lupus rex
Dilute a little white glue with water, and flow it into your kits' joints. Let dry, and then you will find it holds its poses much better. Polyurethane clear coat over the styrene parts works well too. Most of these kits can have hips, leg armor, shoulders, and even chests permanently cemented together without compromising one's ability to disassemble them later for painting or customizing, and I find cementing the hip parts strengthens the kit overall. I really liked the Hyakuri for its odd, sinister look and accessory clear stand (I scratchbuilt a clear stand from a plastic wine glass for the Man Rodi… a very easy tweak that greatly improves the look of the kit!). The series overall is notable for its many and varied colors of plastic, and I find myself very hard-pressed to paint them over. I enjoyed both forms of the second season Barbatos, but I would consider my collection, and any experience building the IBO kits, to be incomplete without the original Barbatos, rightly considered the flagship of the series.
In due time. AU shows tend to get there MG's slower then UC, and bandai has ramped down there total MG production as of late. Still, the barbatos is a very popular suit so I'd wager we won't have to wait too long for an MG. Hell, we might get lucky and it will be a Ver Ka.
Yeah but IBO has been quite successful, in both JP and the west, like 00 and SEED it'll probably get MG's a bit faster, though itll probably just be the lead suits (Barbatos, Kimaris, Gusion, Bael)
Surprised to not see the 1/100 Grimgerde on here. That kit got a lot of praise when it came out. And when I got mine at B&N I was pleasently surprised. Probably the number 1 best value 1/100 kit i've built.
I agree that the hyakuren is a bit dissapointing but I really love its design and not having the full frame makes it super sturdy, I wish the graze wasn't so expensive these days I only find it for double its retail price
No 1/144 or 1/100 grimgerde? It's pretty much the best from both lines from S1. I don't know why people are hating on the Hi res Barbatos either. It's not supposed to be anime accurate lol
Jorge Luis Juarez Really though, where is the Grimgerde? It takes small design ideas from other gundams and still stands out to a great design and kit. I have the 1/100 and nothing is wrong with it except maybe the shoulders get in the way sometimes
JayChuful yea it's such a wonderful kit, especially the 1/100 ver. It's price is amazing for the detail/accuracy. I think this video is a little poorly made and messy; basically rushed(no surprise). He should have done separate videos for HG's and 1/100's.
i Just bought the last 1/100 Grimgerde at my local shop hahahahahahahahaha they only had 3 the other 2 was purchased online by others .....i'm peeing my pants right now hahahahahahahahaha
This video is Mecha's opinion so ours will be different admittedly. I for one can say I don't like Barbatos' legs(I own the OG model, not the lupus) since their angled like an animal (personal problem). jasper fatty, you'll have a great time with it. If I had time, I would so custom mines and make effect parts.
The 1/100 Grimgerde is still one of my favorite kits ever made. Can’t remember if you ever reviewed it but don’t think so. I highly recommend it. So far the only season 1 IBO kit I have that hasn’t become a floppy mess.
I liked this. it helped me decide on a few kits. I would love to see this format for other seasons. it'd be a good way to look at certain series for myself and my gf for kits. Perhaps more than 5 each for your next ones to have a bigger selection?
I love IBO, and I loved the list; I'm curious whether this list reflects your thoughts on the ms in the show, or just the models themselves? Personally, I didn't like the man rodi until they gave it the Landman legs in s2, so I thought you might also have some changing opinions on ms throughout the series.
The space Man-Rodi is an ugly suit with an ugly scheme, but the Landman Rodi is one of my favorite suits. It's amazing what a fresh colour scheme and fixing one awkward piece can do for a mech.
At 2:08 the shiden that you customized Mecha looks amazing just with that one horned Oni and the long sword of the Barbatos it looks really nice and cool Mecha Gaikotsu.
Somehow I knew you would choose the Barbato’s lupus as number one. I mean from your reviews it really does sound promising and I am thinking of using those parts and a new Gundam that I’m customizing to my specification.
Hey, Mecha man Can I just tell you real quick, that you killed me? I literally fuken died when at 3:52 I realised what the vidar was wearing I probably haven't laughed this hard in years Don't ask me why I find it /that/ funny, I don't know either It is a damn good joke in my eyes though, and I hope you make more of this kind in the future Thank you for starting my day off like this, laughing really is healthy You're awesome, my Gai Keep up the good work!
I was just waiting for a new IBO video....I just love the IBO series soooo much ....since I live in India and gundams are so expensive here...I will have to collect money for the next 3 months as my birthday is in 3 months so I will have enough money to buy all you top 5 IBO kits....
for me ibo is like a second coming of gundam 00, after many of fail(imo) gundam series that try to capture the essence of war. Gundum builder is not counted because it more toward lbx compare to gundam. Ohh and i am not a UC guy.
Azriq Haikal me too...I have only watch all the bf and IBO series ...I feel they are the best ..I dont think I will watch twilight axis since it is a continuation of the UC series..
Joshua Fernandes the history of UC is hard for a new fan to enjoy due to the quality of the animation back then. I only watch gundam zz, unicorn and thunderbolt in UC timeline.
Wait, you only saw Build Fighters and IBO and you think that they are the best? Based on what? If you haven't seen any other Gundam series then how do you know which is good or bad?
i found the 1/100 graze to be a very fun build i used posca silver on the inner fram then scratched the hell out of it with a file to give it a sweet battle damage look (my first paiinted gundam ever) definately gonna pick up all the 1/100 ibo line they are fun af
*spoilers* Given the track record with characters not being actually dead, since Mikazuki's body wasn't heavily mutilated/ blown up, I'm guessing he'll come back (possibly as an A.I like eins) if they ever make a movie with Ride being a terrorist or something.
To be honest, the last part when he goes full bersek mode is almost like he become that mobile armour especially when his Gundam make that sound that armour did! I was also slow to learn that Rex tail was the same one that armour had so for Mika to become a mobile armour isn't that suprising for me in the future.
Ren Cen but this is gundam series. Obviously they gonna put some alien in the fray. Maybe second coming of mika to protect mars from alien invasion ahaha.
Azriq Haikal does unconcious mean dead???julieta said that he was unconcious....but I don't know for sure since he was using alaya-vignana system and julieta cut the head of barbatos....then we see a stream of blood....so I am not sure...but I hope he is alive..I wish he is so that there could be a ova or something...
@@whiteglint7694 the 1/144 HG is ok. Mine's actually almost too rigid. Still with the variation that can come with different castings, kinda wonder if that was merely a case with his particular model. For example, my Maganac literally can't stand, it's left hip joint is looser than most people's grip of the english language.
I just started collecting gunpla, and your videos have helped me decide on which gunpla I buy, at the moment I only have 2 high-grade gunpla - the graze kai and the rouei - but I am buying 2 more soon, I was going to go for the barbatos lupus high-grade but the place I buy gunpla from doesn't have it and if I buy it from anywhere else it could take upwards of 3 weeks to arrive :(
I've found (on my kit at least) that the side pieces that go on Vidar's backpack have a really hard time staying on, but other than that it's a great kit.
1. Who can say? If theirs enough demand then sure, if not then no. Theirs currently no announced plans how ever. 2. The 1/144 is widely considered one of the best HG's bandai has currently made. The second one is just a guess, his logic could have been very different.
was surprised the reginlaze wasn't included. The side skirt armors, shoulder armor, the wrist along with the hands tend to pop off randomly along with the shields with a questionable mount. The rifle is good though if you got the nozzle to stay straight and firm
o.o I just did my first kit 2 days ago and it was Amida's Hyakuren. Got the graze after. Love both lol the Hyakuren is pretty cool. My girlfriend finished her first kit yesterday... it was the Gusion xD Gross pilot but she loved the design. Sad to see them both on your worst list :/ The graze is awesome for sure, just picked up the first Barbatos and the Kimaris Trooper today. :) I plan on picking up the blue variant of Hyakuren you showed here, and the Barbatos lupus next. Trying to get my local comic shop to order in a god damn HG Grimgerde though, as I reallyyy wanted it to be my first kit lol.
But I like the look of the long range booster though.... Also, I would have tied the 1/100 Grimgerde with the Vidar for second. That kit is also just brilliant. And with the matte injected finish, it looks perfectly presentable OOB.
I'm still very disappointed with the 1/100 ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion/Gundam Gusion Rebake kit. It's a huge waste of plastic and I don't know what they were thinking with this other than trying to get people to buy 2 sets of this. Lots of wasted plastic.
Perhaps if you listened to everyone telling you they wont make mg ibo kits you wouldn't look like such a dipshit. No gundams in ibo got enough screentime to warrant a mg, FM 1/100 line is good enough, Bandai said they won't make mg ibo kits.
I think MG #200 being ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Form 4 is a good idea. I agree that if anyone thinks that Bandai has no plans to do MG kits for IBO *eventually* is quite misinformed; especially given how popular IBO has been and how well the HG kits have sold thus far.
Thats the thing, even the worst 5 kits aren't really "bad" per say. Number 2's largest issue is the price and the 1st\s problem is that you REALLY would have to like it to appreciate it. (I do, but most didn't) The rest are perfectly reasonable kits.
and yes! Barbatos lupus is the best form of barbatos, although it's weapon is only "mace sword", which is really a shame considering the first barbatos gets a shield, mace, and katana.
how was the Hi-Rez barbatos not on here? That kit is an absolute mess. head is out of proportion, none of the armor stays on and the joints are terrible.
Heres My top 15 ibo kits with some remarks 15.

The things I would do to a damn taco right now are unbiblical!!!
Mecha Gaikotsu lol
Hi welcome to toco boom, in order to get tocos, you must comment war crimes
Qrow Sometimes hanzo Branwen 911 does that count if it does can I have 3 de cebeza (translation:cow head ) those are my favorite
Rammsteiner dude good job on the video it was really good
Ah, yes, who could remember the fearsome SodaPopBlue Bearguy from IBO, with the dreaded Popsicle Sword Mace?
The mobile suit that actually ended the calamity war XD
That's actualy the 73 gundam frame
Love your work. Been watching all old content lately
Barbatos lupus,such a badass
Too bad the kits for it suck :/ I wish Bandai made some red effect parts for the eyes when it went beserk.
The Lupus kits suck? Seriously? Every gunpla reviewer who has it have given it overall positive reviews
i think its the best,just look at the head unit its cool af
Sucks may be a bit much as a description; don't get me wrong I still think is kits are are cool (I mean there are WAY worse kits in the line). For me, the kit just doesn't capture the Rex's same epic-ness from the show for some reason.

Io Frame is a great kit to paint too. The armor is mostly snapped on just the front of the frame and that helps new comers to painting by making it a lot easier to add on and not worry over seamlines
I didnt think the ending was bad, but it felt rushed af. Mcgillis conclusion was the weakest part
i think so, especially the Mobile Armor arc.
The part that bothered me the most was after all the despicable and back-handed things Rustal Elion did he gets away not only scot free, he gets a PROMOTION.
U I LIKE U

LOL we see Vidar with the AoT reference again
Levi: "KENNY!"
Mirage how he did that? I mean which gundam accessories did he use?
@@buffamaou attack on titan cape from the figure and the sword. Thats all
which AoT figure was it?
Shinzou wo Sasageyo!!!!!!!
You've got good taste, the Lupus is what got me back into gunpla after a decade, that thing is so sexy. Easily my favorite Gunda, and the swordmace is by far my favorite gundam weapon.
I'm surprised the grimgerde didn't make it into the top 5, you really seemed to like it.
why not try a hg origin char's zaku 2 kit?
I don't like Zakus, or Gundams.
I do have the hg Barbatos lupus and I gave it the love and care it truly deserves (That would mean getting MS option sets for the damn thing and weaponizing it for my taste). I can't believe that this kit was number one by your standards and I am amazed and proud. Look forwrd to your future videos soon.
Me” I just finished painting the inner frame of the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex, I’ll watch a video while I wait for the paint to dry.”
*Video shoes the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex as the 5th worst*
*Cries on the inside*
if it makes you feel any better i think they all look like shit. that mid-section just doesnt do it for me, they all look anorexic.
Delta Vortex it’s not bad, the problem was that the arms are too weak for the mace and and that’s almost it. Really you just need to modify it so it can hold the mace
Yeah his right
The barbatos lupus 1/100 is actually good the weapon and the arms was the main problem

It's design isn't not for everyone, but that's a subjective note, as a kit, I think it stands decently well.

I think the Graze Ein is a really good kit. Definitely worthy of being on the list.
When I watched this video i was so exited that I ordered the Barbatos lupus
I literally searched for your review seconds before i picked up barbatos lupus... i loved it! Thanks for your review it helped me choose lupus over the lupus rex

Eren:im useless now...
RIP Grimgerde, your favorite mech and kit from season 1. How did it not make the list?
Joshua Fernando he stepped on it
Aww, I actually liked the design of the Gusion. I've never built any of the Gundam models, but it was just so unique and sturdy-looking.
My brother: I bought a barbatos lupus rex!
Me: Take a look at this!
Brother: can you give me barbatos lupus and not barbatos lupus rex?
Surprised to not see the 1/100 Grimgerde on here. That kit got a lot of praise when it came out. And when I got mine at B&N I was pleasently surprised. Probably the number 1 best value 1/100 kit i've built.
Me: sees gundam grace
Also me : wAiT iS ThAt maSTeR ChIeF
RICARDO MILOS its not a gundam its a grunt suit and its pronounced “Graze” not Grace did the autocorrect got yeh?
I'm simultaneously shocked and glad the Kimaris Vidar made it in your top 5
3:50 dude thats so attack on titan XD
I also thought of that
I agree that the hyakuren is a bit dissapointing but I really love its design and not having the full frame makes it super sturdy, I wish the graze wasn't so expensive these days I only find it for double its retail price
yes pls make more "best of" "worst of" per series :)
"What the fuck, sort out your website bandai." 😂 I laughed so hard on that
I agree almost 100% on this list!, and what about grimgerde?
Love your taste in mechs. I did not expect the worst and best noises. So LOL
No 1/144 or 1/100 grimgerde? It's pretty much the best from both lines from S1. I don't know why people are hating on the Hi res Barbatos either. It's not supposed to be anime accurate lol

Don't ask me why I find it /that/ funny, I don't know either
It is a damn good joke in my eyes though, and I hope you make more of this kind in the future
Thank you for starting my day off like this, laughing really is healthy
You're awesome, my Gai
Keep up the good work!
dude, let me tell you something, actually that's not a Gundam vidar, but eren who is wearing an armor
@@naramint5299 holy shit u rite! That's a scary truth man
Just imagine Vidar screaming " Shinzou Sasageyo"
Suprised the hyakuri didn't appear on this list given the high praise you gave it in your review
Actually, Attack On Vidar looks pretty neat. And man, I hope they do another series in the Post Disaster timeline.
Prepare for disappointment.
Sticker hell, bro.
Still, I'd say its honorable mention worthy since, outside of the stickers, its an incredibly fun kit to play with.
dude thats awesome that we both like the hg lupus that much. for me I love it so much that im currently working on a custom version.
0:39 Best part
I was just waiting for a new IBO video....I just love the IBO series soooo much
....since I live in India and gundams are so expensive here...I will have to collect money for the next 3 months as my birthday is in 3 months so I will have enough money to buy all you top 5 IBO kits....
for me ibo is like a second coming of gundam 00, after many of fail(imo) gundam series that try to capture the essence of war. Gundum builder is not counted because it more toward lbx compare to gundam. Ohh and i am not a UC guy.
Azriq Haikal me too...I have only watch all the bf and IBO series
...I feel they are the best
..I dont think I will watch twilight axis since it is a continuation of the UC series..
Joshua Fernandes the history of UC is hard for a new fan to enjoy due to the quality of the animation back then. I only watch gundam zz, unicorn and thunderbolt in UC timeline.
Azriq Haikal it's legs are loose right???
Wait, you only saw Build Fighters and IBO and you think that they are the best? Based on what? If you haven't seen any other Gundam series then how do you know which is good or bad?
Men i wanna buy the barbatos lupus rex but its in the worst but u telled the 5 and 4 is not that bad
And yes lupus looking is so good
i found the 1/100 graze to be a very fun build
i used posca silver on the inner fram then scratched the hell out of it with a file to give it a sweet battle damage look (my first paiinted gundam ever)
definately gonna pick up all the 1/100 ibo line
they are fun af
*spoilers* Given the track record with characters not being actually dead, since Mikazuki's body wasn't heavily mutilated/ blown up, I'm guessing he'll come back (possibly as an A.I like eins) if they ever make a movie with Ride being a terrorist or something.
so mikazuki is become ai for the bael and rustal gonna use it. So what that make you feel? betray? anguish? disgusting? i hope not gonna happen ahahha
To be honest, the last part when he goes full bersek mode is almost like he become that mobile armour especially when his Gundam make that sound that armour did! I was also slow to learn that Rex tail was the same one that armour had so for Mika to become a mobile armour isn't that suprising for me in the future.
Ren Cen but this is gundam series. Obviously they gonna put some alien in the fray. Maybe second coming of mika to protect mars from alien invasion ahaha.
Azriq Haikal does unconcious mean dead???julieta said that he was unconcious....but I don't know for sure since he was using alaya-vignana system and julieta cut the head of barbatos....then we see a stream of blood....so I am not sure...but I hope he is alive..I wish he is so that there could be a ova or something...
No, Mika's been confirmed KIA.
The wtf at the beginning is so genuine I love it
... my dear barbatos lupus Rex is on the least favorite list?
Its my favorite design ever in gundam but the kit is sadly not nearly as good as the design. :(
@@whiteglint7694 the 1/144 HG is ok. Mine's actually almost too rigid. Still with the variation that can come with different castings, kinda wonder if that was merely a case with his particular model. For example, my Maganac literally can't stand, it's left hip joint is looser than most people's grip of the english language.
I just started collecting gunpla, and your videos have helped me decide on which gunpla I buy, at the moment I only have 2 high-grade gunpla - the graze kai and the rouei - but I am buying 2 more soon, I was going to go for the barbatos lupus high-grade but the place I buy gunpla from doesn't have it and if I buy it from anywhere else it could take upwards of 3 weeks to arrive :(
grimgerde?mobile armor?gusion rebake full city?bael?mcgillis graze?
And the helmwige too
I've found (on my kit at least) that the side pieces that go on Vidar's backpack have a really hard time staying on, but other than that it's a great kit.
Plz do 5 best and worst gundam 00 kits bro
When mecha saids kits the subtitles say “ kids” XD
still haven't finished s2.
I should get to that.
YES. YES YOU SHOULD. 👍🏻
Coolio Ash No you shouldn't
Chris Fokjohn dear Lord you were right i should have
My lupus rex turned out great! No problem with the mace holding in the air
Poor mecha, made this video before the master grade barbatos came out
And before the MG Lupus and Kimaris came out...
RIGHT BANDAI?! YA HEAR ME?!
Hahaha i’ve been watching ur channel for 4 years now
I’m still mad that u threw vidar off the balcony
I would take some points off the HG lupus for 1) lack of the elbow cannons included in the box, 2) the gap in the forearm that isn't the seamline
haha my lupis Rex has no problem holding the mace
same here, my best guess was there must of been poor quality control for this kit and a bunch of people just got unlucky
Mg or hg?
Lucky
Will you ever do reviews of old gunpla kits?
Love your videos.
My HG Barbatos Lupus Rex can hold the Giant Mace with one hand
did you do anything to it or put it together differently?
Mikazuki Augus I built mine a month ago without any glue or anything and it can hold it perfectly fine
Nothing, just straight build it Sir.
*noobs*
I would love to see one of these videos for every popular Gundam show!
That's a...weird countdown system you have going there but...go with what works, I guess.
Yup its weird
i really like Rodi, it's so unique, and gusion turtle, why are just interesting from a design concepts, i do agree they need more attention.
I love Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex
I want to see a follow up series where a older Ride recruits Akatsuki to rise up against Gjallarhorn's tyranny..
Akatsuki has so much potencial as character . Heartfull like Atrra and Merciless like Mikazuki at the same time
No honorable mention towards the Grimgerde? Awww :(
The Barbados Lupus was my first kit, kool to see it on the top 5!
2 Questions
1.) Will there ever be a 1/100 Option set so we can get the Valkyria Buster sword for the Lupus?
2.) Why the 1/144 version over the 1/100?
1. Who can say? If theirs enough demand then sure, if not then no. Theirs currently no announced plans how ever.
2. The 1/144 is widely considered one of the best HG's bandai has currently made.
The second one is just a guess, his logic could have been very different.
MrFlunkorg price may have a bit to do with it also. It's a great kit for a complete beginner.
Princess Lucina two 100mm barrel cannon
and two big cannon
and twin mace
and unused Katana
was surprised the reginlaze wasn't included. The side skirt armors, shoulder armor, the wrist along with the hands tend to pop off randomly along with the shields with a questionable mount. The rifle is good though if you got the nozzle to stay straight and firm
where is the astaroth origin?
I don't think his counting steel moon stuff.
"anime series"
Aji Sukma but the kit is awesome tho
The Gundam Astaroth is of side history. This mech is from Manga of orphens...
Yeah it's not in the anime though. My top 3 is: Lupus - Vidar - Astaroth Origin :)
o.o I just did my first kit 2 days ago and it was Amida's Hyakuren. Got the graze after. Love both lol the Hyakuren is pretty cool. My girlfriend finished her first kit yesterday... it was the Gusion xD Gross pilot but she loved the design. Sad to see them both on your worst list :/ The graze is awesome for sure, just picked up the first Barbatos and the Kimaris Trooper today. :) I plan on picking up the blue variant of Hyakuren you showed here, and the Barbatos lupus next. Trying to get my local comic shop to order in a god damn HG Grimgerde though, as I reallyyy wanted it to be my first kit lol.
After rewatching I realized you had the 1/100 gusion in the worst list, but we have the 1/144. Is your opinion of the high grade any better? xD
My 5 favorites, all HG:
1-Vidar
2-Kimaris Trooper.
3-Astaroth Origin.
4-Schwalbe Graze.
5-Graze Ritter.
jamhedon barbatos?????
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Barbatos, the only one I really like is the Barbatos Lupus.
Mine is
1: Lupus
2: Kimaris
3: Gusion
4: Helmwige
5: Flauros
I have Astaroth Origin but havent build it yet.
Agreed. HG 1/144 Barbatos Lupus is an amazing kit!
Will they release a P-Bandai Orga Itsuka custom Io Frame Shiden?
Already done.
But I like the look of the long range booster though....
Also, I would have tied the 1/100 Grimgerde with the Vidar for second. That kit is also just brilliant. And with the matte injected finish, it looks perfectly presentable OOB.
MrFlunkorg i like it too but the price is too expensive
I'm still very disappointed with the 1/100 ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion/Gundam Gusion Rebake kit. It's a huge waste of plastic and I don't know what they were thinking with this other than trying to get people to buy 2 sets of this.
Lots of wasted plastic.
When lupus rex is your favourite….
So you're assuming that we are not getting any more IBO kits?
Perhaps if we get MG IBO kits, you could eventually redo this?
Perhaps if you listened to everyone telling you they wont make mg ibo kits you wouldn't look like such a dipshit. No gundams in ibo got enough screentime to warrant a mg, FM 1/100 line is good enough, Bandai said they won't make mg ibo kits.
xxnike629xx remember theres also the mobile suits from the manga
I think MG #200 being ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Form 4 is a good idea. I agree that if anyone thinks that Bandai has no plans to do MG kits for IBO *eventually* is quite misinformed; especially given how popular IBO has been and how well the HG kits have sold thus far.
The hell did he hack your account?
Ben Dover i don't understand why you're so rude to this guy lol pls tell me
great review, didn't know some of the kits were real terrible since these kits are getting newer, they should be in higher quality
Thats the thing, even the worst 5 kits aren't really "bad" per say. Number 2's largest issue is the price and the 1st\s problem is that you REALLY would have to like it to appreciate it. (I do, but most didn't)
The rest are perfectly reasonable kits.
what about Gundam Bael???
You should make a video with the best 5 Gundams and the best 5 non Gundam kits from this series.
Hey don’t talk to me or my sons(man rodie and Gusion)
HG Grimgerde is one of the best kit from IBO and i think it deserves no.2 before barbatos lupus rex
2:09
Is that a pro Genji!???
Gotta agree with the Lupus. Cheap in price looks better than most kits.
and here, I thought you threw vidar for good.
and yes! Barbatos lupus is the best form of barbatos, although it's weapon is only "mace sword", which is really a shame considering the first barbatos gets a shield, mace, and katana.
Muladi Ajisasmito it comes with two guns
This was always my favorite gundam series
HI-RES barbatos just a bait. LOL
Sweet. Gonna get some of these for like 4th and 5th builds.
how was the Hi-Rez barbatos not on here? That kit is an absolute mess. head is out of proportion, none of the armor stays on and the joints are terrible.
I'd rather not even give it attention is doesn't deserve.
What the fuck where bandai thinking...
Bandai Hobby wanted to make a high end diecast model to compete with Bandai Hobbies Metal Build releases
MrFlunkorg: Minimum effort, maximum profit, probably.
Actually because its hi- resolution you are supposed to just look at it not play with it
