Loved the frame and other parts that were molded in gun metal color, reminds me of the Gundam Silhouette Formula series. Those clear/translucent yellow plastic parts are molded nice, but the clear white parts though are somewhat 'foggy', not like the classic RX-78-2 MG with clear parts where the supposed white parts were molded in a clear glass-like plastic. But still, that mega size RX-78-2 looks cool and an impressive addition to your collections.
When I was in Japan back at the beginning of November 2022, I was at Nakano Broadway doing some shopping, and in one of the Mandarake shops I came across an ANA themed Mega Size RX-78-2, new in box, and only 8800 yen. I would have bought it but there's no way it was going to fit in my luggage. I should have just bought it and shipped it home. If you're going to be in the Tokyo area, it may be worth checking to see if it's still available.
Loving how the Queen of Gunpla is starting to give us somewhat regular content! I'm here for this! Also, are we not gonna mention how flawless her hair was! 😍 Wonderful review!
I just finished building the entry grade version of the RX-78-2. Gunpla are soooo expensive in Australia! I only paid AU$14 for that kit, but I paid twice that for another entry grade kit (Strike Gundam), of the same scale. However, since I paid the AU$28 for that kit, I later found it for about AU$20 and now it's only AU$14 at the same shop I bought the RX-78-2 from. In Australia, most kits go from between AU$50 and about AU$100, but they also go into the hundreds of dollars. The instructions for the Strike Gundam have a mistake for the very first part. The second kit I tried to build actually has a full sheet of parts missing; the black parts that hold the joints together. I still want to build more, but I was put off a bit with those first two kits.
As a gunpla novice (I've built 3 HG and one MG so far) I do wish size wasn't so tied with price and features. I like big kits and I can not lie. I wish Bandai would have more larger-size options for not ridiculous prices. I dunno if I'm ever going to build a Perfect Grade (I would be so nervous about screwing up such an expensive kit) but I wish there were kits that size with the features of a MG without a giant price tag.
A bilateral clear/solid kit would be really cool for a half-and-half. For the price of this mega size model though one could buy the huge metal build Kshatriya, so it would not be within my model budget any time soon lol. The part clipping and snapping together sounds on the big kits though are divine. Also putting the halves of frame pieces together while still on the runner is sorcery the likes of which the world is not ready for.
So, as an idiot and as a treat to myself---i just bought the High Grade, Psycho Zaku II, from Gundam Thunderbolt thanks to MELI showing off her other Zaku's over the past year and a half. I just love the style of the Zaku's going back to the 08 MS Team series and the GEOFF custome. My question to chat, as this is only the 3rd Gundam in my life that I have ever built, is how much pain am I about to endure building this thing. As a side note--i typically build Warhammer 40k models. No where near the same I know, but thats life. I REALLY hope i dont screw it up..
I'm sorry, I never was into clear kits. Just so happens I grabbed the Mega regular release when it came in stock to the US Storefronts (Newtype notification for this). You can do a lot of customizations and scribing on regular kits but this is fantastic to know, especially on the gunpla reddit front has gone dark.
Gunpla girl is really big on Gundam and the japanese figures. I wonder if shes into Transformers at all. Cool figure. I tried a few od these types of models as a kid i dreaded putting them together. You have a lot of patience 😅props. GOOD ASMR sounds ❤
Have to admit I like the size of those wow! I never built a Mega size before but i think I can handle them. Wow kind of expensive for two. I will surely get one of them. Gunpla Meli very nice presentation indeed!!
I don't have a mega size in my collection, I really want to try one though. As for this kit, my feelings are kind of mixed, especially when it comes to clear kits, the biggest gripe that I have is that the pegs are visible. I don't know why but we're all different. For now I'm focusing on metal reinforcement kits for Gundams. I've done 2 already which is the mg Freedom 2.0 and Barbatos. Now I'm going to do a mg Unicorn and from there an Exia and 00 Quanta.
As soon as Meli said time to build i clicked like immediately, hah. I’m curious about how long it took you to build this. Did you still have to look at the instructions? because you’re such an expert that it looks like you no longer need to. I like to lay all of my plastic trees on the floor the way it’s set up on the diagram and meticulously follow the instructions step by step since I’m not an expert. I’m curious about the size as well
I can't express enough how much i love the nippers sounds! Have you tried that technique that makes the pieces look like glass? Not that this cutie needs it, just wondering! :)
The semi transparent look is quite nice. The size is a bit of an issue though. It feels accurate to have Gundam appear larger in scale to other mobile suit Gunpla but finding space and location for it would be an absolute pain.
What’s your opinion on PG Unleashed VS mega size rx78-2? I’m trying to decide which one to get . I feel like Unleashed looks better but then Mega looks more like rx78-2
So big … big gundam😮
I'd love to get my hands on those, thank you for the vid!
That is a beautiful kit. The sound of the parts snapping together is so satisfying.
They fit so snuggly together. 👀
YEAH MEGA SIZE GUNDAM
Thank you for showing us exclusive kits! Even if we cant have it, we can admire the finished product. 😊

That snap sound is just music to my ears.
Those are massive Chars!!!

I love the clickng sounds during the build. Very ASMR
“ I like MEGA SIZES. I like big and massive. “
Oooh I like the translucent pieces with the solid pieces. I like the sound of crinkling plastic, and snapping plastic pieces together.
first time to see 2 megasize rx78 in one place, feast your eyes
Loving how the Queen of Gunpla is starting to give us somewhat regular content! I'm here for this! Also, are we not gonna mention how flawless her hair was! 😍 Wonderful review!
Thank youuuu ☺️ I’m trying to!!
She really does have great hair :).
Thats some manly hands you have putting that model together, Meli.

I just built this last week! Absolutely love it
Hey Meli, would you apply custom scribing lines to your Mega size?
As a gunpla novice (I've built 3 HG and one MG so far) I do wish size wasn't so tied with price and features. I like big kits and I can not lie. I wish Bandai would have more larger-size options for not ridiculous prices.

Freakin, awesome ma'am!!! Mega size is legit!!
The realest gunpla reviewer out there… plus beauty it’s a win win
Love these mega sized kits.
😏
I like how she’s positioned the camera , perfect Birds Eye view
My spouse got me the original Mega size RX-78-2 for Christmas and I keep it in the background when I stream.
Wonderful
That was a very satisfying build. Haven't bought any Mega size, maybe will pick one. Looks beautiful!
Nice kit!
Great video Meli! Hope you find the other Megasize!
Perfect video to start my week
Perfect way to wrap up my wild day . Thank you gunpla meli senpai ❤❤
We met again, Gentlemen of Meli culture. Cheers on this glorious day brought to us by Meli herself. Cheers! 🍺🍻
🍻cheers!!
🍻
🍻Cheers my fellow brothers!!!
I like mega size too (OvO) 👀 hooray cheers 🍻
Meli never disappoints
Another well done video. Thanks for doing these🙂🙂
Sizes does matter, we love Big Szies stuff, agree?
The video framing is beautiful I must say!! That is a big kit!
gross
Love your Router!
Nice edit for the video
I wish all builds were this easy to put together :D

That router thooooo...
Love this channel. You always show us the coolest stuff
mega size indeed
awesome! thx for the video meli
It would have been so cool during the audio drop out to overdub in your voice "Click, Click, squeak, squeak, Click!"
a Mega Size GM would be cool which is probably a retool of the Mega Size RX-78-2.
Yep.
You definitely have them gunpla fingers...
I can spot a model builder by just looking at the hands.😊
very cool!! I also like "mega size" plastic models. 👍
yeah, massive. mega size :D

I have the ANA exclusive one and love it,
I’m jelly!!
9:04 😉
She likes Asian style ones.
going to japan in late sept to yokohama city to the gundam store..hopefully ill find some exclusive there that might interest me..
and thanks for sharing, but i just want to ask a question. Does led for gunpla fit inside the head of this mega size?
I do like these Mega size kits. 60 seems like a fair price.
Amazing figure.
I like your gundams
RX78 is my favorite!!! Gorgeous, loves Gundam, Meli is the perfect girl!!!!
You're doing awesome work!
What Nippers do you use? they're so good at reducing nubs on the parts
I’m using tamiya side cutters and god hand
The goku in the corner staring me down 💀
Gunpla fam, hear me out: MEGA SIZE......WING GUNDAM ZERO ENDLESS WALTZ.
CMONNNNNN BANDAI!
Hi, i just wanted to ask, if you can put led unit in the head of this mega size rx78-2?
Gunpla girl is really big on Gundam and the japanese figures. I wonder if shes into Transformers at all. Cool figure. I tried a few od these types of models as a kid i dreaded putting them together. You have a lot of patience 😅props. GOOD ASMR sounds ❤
Not really into transformers but I do think they are cool!
@@Gunplameli Oh all good lol was just curious! I'm newer to your channel.😃
If they go back to doing Mega Sized, I want the GP01.
I'm telling you... those... hmm hmm hmm!
Have you ever put LEDs on any models?
Have to admit I like the size of those wow! I never built a Mega size before but i think I can handle them. Wow kind of expensive for two. I will surely get one of them. Gunpla Meli very nice presentation indeed!!
Maybe someday I'll get my fiance to build gunpla with me, but for now we're dipping our toes into Lego botanical 😂
but what grade is this? And is this at Japan Con? As I own the PG kit of the above, and 2 x transparent add on kit for that PG
Meli-chan! ❤😊🇵🇭
I like the scale but what's the point of the transparent armor without a complete skeleton to show?
I don't have a mega size in my collection, I really want to try one though.

Please do a review on the new MGSD's. I want to know more about it before buying one. Thanks!!!!!!
Hi Meli and notification peeps
I can't express enough how much i love the nippers sounds! Have you tried that technique that makes the pieces look like glass? Not that this cutie needs it, just wondering! :)
Its been a while to see you gunpla meli .. i miss this channel❤
That Gundam is cool , but I'd rather get the big one you have
Its pretty cool
このプラモデル良いですね！
ガンダムを好きになってくれて
ありがとう！👍
Looks TOP heavy😂
These models require no glue or paint? 😮 is that true for most mech models?
I love the RX 78 2 gundam any design is fine by me btw Have you built the Entry Grade rx 78 2 it's also an awesome kit!
Yes! It’s an awesome kit for the price
this is like building a lego duplo lol
We need more MS kits especially a rx-93 hi-nu 😎
Yes!!! it's ,masssive. It;s big. 😉😉😉
Meli's back! ❤
I love your content
Mega size, 確かに、議論の余地はありません。
The semi transparent look is quite nice. The size is a bit of an issue though. It feels accurate to have Gundam appear larger in scale to other mobile suit Gunpla but finding space and location for it would be an absolute pain.
le coté translucide sur la ceinture est moche.....mais les petites parties oui
すごくキレイなガンダム！
How much was this? Heading there soon.
Hi Ma'am Meli.. Hope to notice me. Gundam Wings Fanatic here.. ❤❤❤
You know what else is mega sized... 😏
Im jealous meli doesnt giving hearts on my comments 😢😢😢
But anyway hooray for meli wwooohhhooo
Wow i like those mega size kits
Not bad
asus zaku router...i bet your PC setup is also gundam themed?.. 😱
Wow i love it! Bigger is Better! I have 1 mega size i got lucky with the price, would love to have this one but the price ouch!
What’s your opinion on PG Unleashed VS mega size rx78-2? I’m trying to decide which one to get . I feel like Unleashed looks better but then Mega looks more like rx78-2
Depends on your wallet, they are both totally different models. If your experienced then get the PG ☺️
@@Gunplameli you expressed that the mega size unicorn kind of sucks and has cheap kid toy vibe . rx 78-2 mega isn’t like that ?
so good👌
