@@myhonestopinion3334no you can put the normal blade in the shield while having the lightning swords out. The shield would just be missing the handles at the top but it would fit like it did before
Those effect parts are cool esp. the beam saber one. Bandai is sleeping on making a option set for expressive beam sabers, they should know it will sell like hotcakes.
I love that he put the references into different sections of the kit, like for example the head is very close like to the gundam astaroth and astaroth origin with some kimaris to kimaris vidar style and a little moon, making the head mostly the ibo reference section of his previous works.
I love how before GWitch, having shiny stickers underneath plastic parts was the peak of luxury in HG. Now it's a bit disappointing. That's how much these kits raised the bar.
yeah underneath stickers are the worst! making alot of confusion between which is the activate and deactivate version 😵💫 but then the rebuild ur thorn schwarzette calibarn jiu n anavata use the standard option stickers making it easier to finding the correct stickers of your choices 👍 really help alot 😆 less confusing than bootleg knockoff kit 😝
I can't believe I actually accurately predicted the ranking, I'm so unreasonably happy with myself for that ! It's a nice looking little Gundam but the only thing that I don't much like about it are the heels and those seem to be a pretty important aspect of what makes this unit special lol.
I started to build this kit this morning and in hand it looks so cool only gripe I have is that I wish they didnt choose to do away with the premolded part on chest and make it just stickers. Maybe also make some of the blue parts a different shading of blue to have more color separation? That said, its a awesome kit and I'm glad I brought it.
OH! I FIGURED IT OUT BTW!!“Lfrith” is Scottish Gaelic for “Against” or “To Oppose”, and is either pronounced “Ul-frith” or “El-frith” depending on the accent. It is most definitely not “Ruburis” 😅 that would be the romanization of a Japanese pronunciation of a Gaelic word 😂
@@ShikiHisashifun fact, the Anglo King “ÆtheLfrith” (pr: Eighth-Ul-Frith or Ah-th-El-Frith) was considered the first great king of the Anglo peoples, and was nicknamed…”The Flexer” 😂
From what I've seen it means "peace" or "security." I prefer that as the starting point for the Aerial. It suggests that maybe things really would have turned out differently if Vanadis hadn't been attacked.
Oh man this looks fantastic. Getting a bit of Iron Blooded Orphans vibes too. Definitely gonna need to put some more effort in to getting this, the Jiu, and the Lfrith to add to my collection.
if recall correctly the Astray Red Frame could also emit electricity from the palm of its hands because in Cosmic Era a Mobile Suit's handheld weapons have their power supplied by a connection plug on the palm of a MS's hands.
@@skellybonz5467 i feel silly to further engage with you on this but for the record, lfrith is ルブリス(hepburn: ruburisu), not roobris. It would be one thing if he was saying the word in japanese, but what he’s doing in principle is akin to pronouncing Gundam “gandamoo” just because that’s how he thinks japanese ppl pronounce it due to a lack of understanding of the language. In short, in japanese is ruburisu, in english its pronounced phonetically (luh-vris). “roobris” is nothing.
I’m very new to Gunpla in general, I built my first model near the end of last year. I’m wondering, what’s the best way to keep informed on what new Gunpla are releasing?

Not gonna lie, I am kicking myself for not getting this one off P-Bandai. So I did the only logical thing and immediately pre-ordered a Destiny Impulse and the WfM weapon set. Here's to hoping they do a second run of this one the way they did with the demi garrison.
I don't particularly like this variation on the Lfrith, but I'm giving it Gundarium tier anyway for finally making Mecha doubt the "rubris" pronounciation
i will never understand why irish man does not at least have a hint of recognizing a gaelic word, but instead intentionally picks the worst japanese to english transliteration possible lmao
most of the *Lfrith mass-produced mobile suits* were destroyed in the anime and why Bandai had never release a mass-produced Lfrith gundam that appear in the prologue episode!? 🧐🤔😵💫
Initially, I had negative feelings about premium Bandai, but the more I pre-order from the website, the more I feel it's not an excuse to complain about not being able to get your hand on any of their product. I've missed many initial pre-orders because people over-hype the product. But every product I miss always has a second or third chance to pre-order. The price is reasonable, plus they have a flat rate of $10 shipping fee.
The main issue is that p-ban doesn't ship to a lot of places (even big countries like Canada) so the only way to get those kits is usually through 3rd parties at inflated prices.
Since their so similar but different in all the right places you could call these two a male and female variant. I'm getting into gunpla myself now and your videos are really helpful and informative.
he mostly use smile good company action base but this stand he used for anavata vid could be from the sold separately aerial gund-bit action base stand
Can you review the moshow toys Lancelot of the lake? I like the vids and I've been curious about it and I was wondering if I could get your opinion on it
If we're looking at the name itself, Lfrith being Ruburis in the Japanese pronunciation makes sense. L=R Japanese rarely has multiple consonant sounds together and separates them with vowel sounds. F can be either F or B in the Japanese pronunciation (usually V become B, but F sometimes becomes B as well). And "th" is almost always pronounced as "s". Lfrith. Ruburisu. Rufurisu might have been a closer pronunciation, but Ruburisu works too (and is a bit easier, I think). Technically, though, Lfrith is pronounced "Ul-frith" or "El-frith", so a more accurate pronunciation could have been Uruburisu. What *I* don't get, however, is the change of Anavata to... Anocta? Anavata sounds like something of Indian origin, and Japanese uses a lot of borrowed names of a similar style in Buddhism already. So either the localizers somehow jumped from Anocta to Anavata or something was purposefully changed in localization.
i ordered mine couple days ago, it wont be here till may but i pray to god it actually does arrive. It'll be my first ever pbandai kit, abolish pbandai fr.
@@crizy5555 pbandai doesnt ship directly to germany so i need a middle man which makes it not only more expensive but also less reliable. im just nervous cause its my first time
In the video the eyes, camera, and chest stickers look gold, but the one I have is quite orange Anyway, I painted the mouth part white and I thought "did I make a pharact?"😂
The name has something to do with lake Anavatapta (which is 阿耨達 (anokuta) or 阿耨達池 (anokudacchi) in Japanese) I'm not into Buddhism stuff so you can google the details yourself.
Has a really cool color scheme, very interesting weapon loadout, soild articulation and it comes with a simple stand for the effect parts. What could possible go wrong with this awesome kit? Friend shows me that it is P Bandai exclusive. .........Damn it Bandai. So aside from the normal Lfirth, which is fantastic, we are stick with the Leopard clone and the chicken but the Jiu, now this and the extra weapons and effect parts for the guy mobile suits from the show, P Bandai exclusives. This is ridiculous and very annoying but at least this is still a soild model kit!
Didn't buy this because I hadn't gotten to that part in Vanadis Heart. I still haven't as its been months and they still haven't printed volume 2??? Anyone familiar with when Gundam Ace releases their volumes?
the side by side/parts by parts comparison is super nice and super helpful to us who customise their kits ❤
the transition between manga panel into gunpla for accurate comparison is very nice touch
I love the lightning effects from the palms and weapons.

You can get it for the effects and the stand and it's way cheaper than Bandai.

Oh, right. For it to be retail. Sobbing.

It goes like this; UNLIMITED POWER!
god, this Gundam with her saber-GUND bits are awesome. Just straight Dual-Wielding Empress!
I like how each Vanadis chest "face" has a slightly different expression.
It's look like a Gundam Vidar but WFM ver.
Almost like a combination of Vergil and Vidar
I absolutely love this kit, despite it being an HG. Will get one as soon as I can.
Awesome review, love the Lfrith Anavata detail! 🤖👍
I bought 2 of them I built one 3 weeks ago. Saving the other for a custom build.

can't help but notice that the pink Lfrith has its legs on the wrong sides, the left leg is supposed to be on the right and vice versa

That Crossbone+Vidar face there. 😁😁
wanted this kit so bad but i just cant afford a pbandai where im from, the only way to get them here is at x3 the original price
YES! Another good video. Keep it up Bud
Just built mine and I can't help but wonder: how does it unsheath those swords? The right hand I get but the left?
They’re bit staves, so they probably just fly out. Most unreachable Gundam weapons seem to have an eject/grab mechanism which I always find amusing
