Just got this kit and I love it to death. The simplistic navy blue and grey actually appeal to my taste. I love how solid this thing feels in hand while also having plenty of articulation. When I'm at home I have a hard time keeping this thing out of my hand and on my shelf because of how fun it is to play with.
Some people may recoil from the mention of the dreaded T word, but the way you say "feels like a toy" makes me feel like it's your highest praise and it makes me want to get one. Thisnappliesnto every time you say "toy" or "toy-like" in your reviews
I bought Crossbone Maoh a couple of days ago but got lazy and didn't push through. but after watching this video, this kinda motivated me to push myself to build it. thanks man!
Wow thanks for this review! I was having a very hard time choosing who to buy Gunpla wise with $30 and i chose the Acguy and this kit here, thanks again!
when you said this kit was sturdy, you weren't kidding. I have the unfortunate habit of breaking my HG models, but the Crossbone Maoh is the one kit I haven't broken yet (aside from replacing the white beam emitters from the backpack with two gray ones from the Skull Weapon Booster). Wait, does having to replace those two small parts count as breaking it?
A note for those who, like me, are skeptical about the giant skull chest aesthetic: you can easily leave it out, have the slots act as exhaust vents for the satellite cannon, and have it look phenomenal. I just got this kit today and it's already one of my favorites, it has a great look, superb articulation, and need I even mention the peace hands? If I were to make any complaint... there might be too many accessories, if that's possible. It's hard to decide how you want to display it ^^" Also, TYPEV3, do you know of any sources to possibly get effect parts for the satellite cannon? I think S.H. Figuarts Godzilla pieces would work but I'm not sure where one would get them by themselves.
+TYPE V3 great review of a great kit I was wondering did you have a problem with the torso popping off of the poly cap on the waist. I'm having that problem with my model and I'm wondering was it a manufacturing mistake or mine. also do you know of anyway to fix it?
I prefer the X1's shoulder, face, and maybe the chest, while I prefer this guy for the head camera and the rest of the body. What I think about the skull chest cannon is that those chest might be too unreal except if it was for the unmanned unit (like Virgo and G-bits), while the manned unit use the Aile Striker with DX's Twin Satellite Cannon attached to it. That is what I envisioned
about 4 days ago my dad got me the HG 1/144 build strike full package and it looks FANTASTIC!!!!i love it its my first ever gundam too and the anime is SO good i love it to!!!!:D and i mite gust ask for this gunpla for christmas :D can't wait for it!!!!!!!! :D
I just bought this and the hip ball joint seems to split the tires easily. Also, his leg joints on the hips seem to come off easy too at least on mine. :(
Please because I'm planning to do this kind of hobby in the future and I'd like to know what kits are worth the money :D By the way thanks for telling me that because I was planning on buying (MKII) that and now I won't :D
Well yeah, but the HG offers more involvement during the building process than buying the Robot Spirits one? And you get to make cool fighting poses with Transient and The End? Well, it's up to you but it would be great if you did.
Thanks, I just watched all of your GBF videos. The way you review all of these is great. It's quick, concise and to the point. Keep it up! Any chance you'll be doing Gundam Unicorn or GBF 2 when it comes out?
Build Fighters TRY is a definite. The HG G-Self looks really cool too. Other than that, no real plans. Gunpla is fairly low in my personal interests, so don't count on me for comprehensive coverage.
Got this Gundam as a gift, the first mecha model I ever got. But me nor the buyer never realized how small 1/144 was. Kind of disappointing. Then I ended up breaking the ball joint to the left arm during assembly -__- *Trash* 1/100 is more my preferable size and next time I'll know. Oh well wasn't my money! Good review though.
It suppose to be small because Crossbone Gundams came out in late UC series, so the mobile suits became smaller. However since this said to be your first model kit. So you probably didn't have the skill to make one properly. Besides there is a RG line which is in the same scale but have quality of MG.
I would certainly not suggest an RG for a beginner. The parts are even smaller and I'd say most MGs are easier to build. There's quite a few kits from the HGUC and the HGBF line that are very well adapted to beginners. Anything of Char's Counterattack and Gundam Unicorn era should be large, bulky and easy to build. The suits average around 20m tall compared to Crossbone's 16m, so it does really impact the build. Either way, it is up to you :) I went straight to an MG after my first HG build, which I regret a bit now, but it's still doable.
it was suppose to be small because the suit only average at 15-16m tall(real scale). if you're looking for something big or at least average size you might want to consider the Unicorn series or any of the earlier UC timeline like the 0079, Zeta, Double Zeta or the HGBF line....they have some sizable and easy to build kits if you're still familiarizing yourself If your going for 1/100 scale you stay away from the No Grades...now that's going to be waste of money.
Does anyone think that maoh from the gundam build fighter looks like someone from da one piece series EDIT: also if there. is no beam affect for the skull on the chest then use it to look like its eating some other gunplas arm...........
I'm with you. The large chest skull integrated with the cannon is anything except boring. It's both full of character and purpose. Like the skull cannon, the crossbone gun-swords combine ranged and melee weapons in one package. All in all, Crossbones Maoh is a more streamlined, efficient, and compact package compared to its predecessor, taking the best from the X Maoh and refining them even further.
So I just unbox'd the full cloth GBF type. You're gonna cry at the number of seals you get, and the fact that the body is made up of some weird pearl injection plastic that makes it look like a converge kit.
My local hobby shop (which happens to be pretty much the only one available in these parts) has the Dynames Arm Arms, I'm considering getting it. Have you built this kit by any chance?
I thought so haha. It was designed by the real-life inspiration behind Meijin Kawaguchi, so I thought I'd give it a go. It's in my backlog now, will let you know what it's like when I have finished assembling it.
Tae Oh Idk I kinda like it, only thing Id wish is if you could take that giant skull head off and just have a regular chest, looks just a bit too goofy for my liking tbh

Did mine all custom and honestly, it's one of those kits that's perfect for customizing
Well The Peace hands Actually Represents Shingyo School. Like The hands That Mao And His Master does.
Simplicity and huge accessories are the strong points of Crossbone Maoh

I bought Crossbone Maoh a couple of days ago but got lazy and didn't push through. but after watching this video, this kinda motivated me to push myself to build it. thanks man!
I love how its got peace hands. So awesome
Subscribed! Great straightforward reviews man, it's a nice change from other gundam reviews...
Awesome figure! I'm totally gonna pick this up next. Plus Mao was my favorite character in the anime. Something about him is just awesome!
great dynamic camera work, and a review that covers everything I wanted to know. Keep up the great work!

bring all these versions into the RG...

***** I've never actually used them, but I've always been recommended this guy: www.canofbeams.com/
+TYPE V3 great review of a great kit I was wondering did you have a problem with the torso popping off of the poly cap on the waist. I'm having that problem with my model and I'm wondering was it a manufacturing mistake or mine. also do you know of anyway to fix it?
just finish building this kit yesterday and I LOVE IT its a really nice kit and its pretty easy to build just like you said XD
This video sold me. I'm definitely gonna buy this
hye TYPE V3 what the gundam name at 3:54?
+Mohd Nizwand Gundam X Maoh
Thnks bro. This kit very rare now in my area.
I usually order my kits off of Amazon.
I like how you review Gundam kits.
**Subscribed**
Looking back at this review the only thing that comes to my mind is sans
SOLEly for the feet...HAHAHAHAAHHA
That glowing left eye on the skull...
Is that a *[REDACTED]* reference ?
Sans Gundam
Sans Gundam
nice review and not so boring... nice shot...
I prefer the X1's shoulder, face, and maybe the chest, while I prefer this guy for the head camera and the rest of the body. What I think about the skull chest cannon is that those chest might be too unreal except if it was for the unmanned unit (like Virgo and G-bits), while the manned unit use the Aile Striker with DX's Twin Satellite Cannon attached to it. That is what I envisioned
Maoh's models are one of the greatest in the build fighters series... Some of his models are actually better than sei's models
What good about this gunpla is the detailing but I be more happy if you painted the heat daggers
I'm getting this just for that cutlass and flintlock
Would you recommend the Amazing Exia or Star Build Strike Plavsky Wing?
Not a complete loss. Something I myself could just customize.
I think this design screams more for creativity. Because its literally a blank slate
just got this guy and built him today. the polycap in the abb doesn't grip the the socket well, leading to the the figure falling in halfs. any tips?
Bryce YoungWolfe paint the caps
Love this kit!
I can't wait for fenice rinascita!
Type v3 have you got the original crossbone x1 HG? It looks good :D
I'm actually kinda interested in this thing... Would you be so kind as to tell me if this is better than Wing Zero Honoo?
Is it safe to remove the huge skull head on the chest after we attached it?i kinda dont rly like it
cant wait for HGBF X1 full cloth come out!
can you review the unicorn gundam
Is it ok to spray matte-coat over reflective/glossy type stickers like this, or is it better to apply them over the topcoat?
Apply first, then spray on top. As long as your coating is even there shouldn't be a problem.
about 4 days ago my dad got me
the HG 1/144 build strike full package and it looks FANTASTIC!!!!i love it its my first ever gundam too and the anime
is SO good i love it to!!!!:D and i mite gust ask for this gunpla for christmas :D can't wait for it!!!!!!!! :D
If you want a good gunpla go for the HG wing gundam. It's a really good kit.
Alex Dalton Why not the Fenice or Rinascita they have a lot more flare and personality while bundling in more range of motion for greater poses.
Kickstartedgamers I recommended the original wing because it can transform.
Rinascita has a transformed mode that isn't too bad.
Kickstartedgamers oh yeah. Forgot. Idk I was just recommending a random HG that I knew was good for begginers.
+TYPE V3 i just want to ask if the mouth of the skull in his torso moves
I NEED this gundam...now!
Did u cut the front skirt armor into two?
You have an RG destiny right? Why dont you have a review of that kit??
Kamuting Dutung Because I don't care for it.
+Kamuting Dutung Prime 92 I believe have the review of the kit.
I'm gonna use this for a custom build
did i get the wrong thing because mine is kinda scuffed cuz the front skirt flaps dont move
do a review on the cross bone full cloth hg
hi TYPEV3 uhmmm did you forgot the circle at the backpack
I just bought this and the hip ball joint seems to split the tires easily. Also, his leg joints on the hips seem to come off easy too at least on mine. :(
Good thing I'm gonna give it a special paint job
Type can you Rank the best kits of the first season of build fighters?
How about I just tell you who's the worst: HG Build MKII
Please because I'm planning to do this kind of hobby in the future and I'd like to know what kits are worth the money :D
By the way thanks for telling me that because I was planning on buying (MKII) that and now I won't :D
JohnMigzZ Fenice or Rinascita
Bruce Wayne thanks for giving an example Bruce, You always know when someone's in need :D
***** mmm... the build mkll is not the worst model kit from hgbf, In my personal opinion the worst hgbf model kit is the qubeley papillon :P
I need those peace hands for my Master GUNDAM!!!!
Can someone tell me what recommendations I should take to spray paint gundam models?
Which one do you perfer? X moah or the crossbones moah? Or maybe the original crossbones gundam?
Gunnar Applegate X Maoh. But I do like the Crossbone Full Cloth better than either of the Maohs.
+TYPE V3 And I prefer the X-2's design.
will you do the GBF Crossbone Full Cloth?
nope.
too bad, the kit looks amazing
It doesn't look better than this: ruclips.net/video/M5lhddv4IN8/видео.html
Well yeah, but the HG offers more involvement during the building process than buying the Robot Spirits one? And you get to make cool fighting poses with Transient and The End?
Well, it's up to you but it would be great if you did.
I don't like building. I'd rather buy a fully painted and completed figure that's made of higher quality materials.
I love this kit! :D
I want to buy it, but, does It include a base to certain poses, or do I need to buy one?
Which base should I buy for It?
+homerjjordi You need to buy one. Get an action base.
+TYPE V3 any action base works?
look for an hg action base
+pixelman619 I already have 2 action base 2, but thanks anyway
ok
Soooo you can have crossbone have either two swords to be darth mall or have him be gokai red orrrrr just have him with brass knuckles
But will we get an rg???
do i need to panel line?
i didn't know this gunpla have a great articulation
+type v3 is the backpack removeable
yes
What hanger is that?
Two sets of the H Hanger (Grey) by Wave.

still waiting for the bear guy san review.... great review by the way
Hmm... Well I just finished building that kit tonight...
Nnn
yeah i should buy one

SANS GUNDAM!

Real Grade kits make the best builds...

perfectslim007 D Sizzul i prefer 1/70 builds
They come apart “real” quick
Then you'll be glad to ear we are getting a rg crossbone this spring
0:57 💀
Does anyone think that maoh from the gundam build fighter looks like someone from da one piece series
EDIT: also if there. is no beam affect for the skull on the chest then use it to look like its eating some other gunplas arm...........
more for play other than display. It rhymes
cool

boring?! bah!!!!
