Also one of the favorite designs and one of my first kits (the original HG) and had to grab it when it was updated. I was slightly disappointed that they weren't able to do full color separation on all aspects of the kit but i probably would have painted the kit anyways. That maroon with red always looked a bit weird to me.
I wish that effect parts were more common for special blast effects on all grades of Gundam model kits. Like with the new RG Gundam Epyon I think that a clear heat rod and not just the standard should be part of the release. I’ve seen third party upgrade kits for some kits but not enough to cover the whole roster of kits in the Bandai library.
Built and did some painting/color-correcting on the old HG of this a few weeks ago and I was so pleasantly surprised how nice it was that I ordered the Griepe and the Hydra as well.
It does have PolyCap syndrome though... It will lose stability rapidly over time and be a floppy mess in a few months. I basically never touch mine and it just stands there since it can't hold a pose
Unfortunately, the hinges for the python claws on my aesculapius disintegrated, luckily I had the heavy ground equipment for the geminass 2, so I did a bit of a kitbash, added some white accents to the blue, pretty happy with salvaging it
Bandai made all the g-unit kits p-Bandai because. Reason number 1 Bandai doesn’t own that manga series so they had to get the license from the manga publishing company to make the kits in the first place. The second reason is that the manga came out back in the mid 90’s, so most people these days probably aren’t aware of the G-unit manga series.
The quality of all these new G Unit kits looks to be really nice. But I find the designs to be very toyish, and it's mostly the accessories that make me consider purchasing one. If I bought this, its accessories would go to my Load Astray kitbash WIP, and the main kit would end up in my scrap bin lol
Why when i see the face of a traditional Gundam i feel that they are sticking out the tongue 😛? The only Gundam face that i like is the one of barbatos and the hg rx 78 2 revive
90's kit or not I'm buying it. It's a model kit.. you can fix any issues in 2024. 😊 bandai needs to give us a mini series or series of this cult following. Long overdue in my opinion. 😊
also, i went and got Geminass Unit 1 just to give LO Booster Unit 1's feet so i can make its transformation more like the original line art. idk, the whole feet folding forward into claws doesnt do it for me here on the L.O. Booster
@@YiminyCricket Wait, you specifically got a seperate Geminass kit to give the L.O. Booster its feet? But the L.O. Booster already comes with the Geminass feet as leftover parts.
the lobster
Previously on G-Unit:
Ass-clap pius
Gem-in-ass
Now, you get the L.O.bster
@@First-Name_Last-Name gem in ass how tf did i never realize it x'D
LOBSTER
I love that they changed the transformation by adding more to it, the original just layed down flat. Looking forward to more G-Unit kits

I hope we get Hydra or Griepe are next!

all the detail looks sooo so good!!
I remember getting the original version of this kit as my first Gunpla kit. Too bad it's a P-Bandai release cause the price is so expensive.
due to how its name is spelled it is jokingly called "Gundam Lobster" by fans, lol.
My first ever HG Gunpla was the OG LO Booster
WOW! That's crazy, I literally just finished building this.
itll be a bright day indeed when we get a hgac Hydra and Griepe Gundam.
Bandai you can print in red,
and let gundam -seed 's
Athrun to pilot
can't wait for them to release hydra gundam

That's not true, Leo-S is retail
@@DankbeastPaul leo s is pbandai
Looks like gaza c transformed
Glad it got made and released, but that flimsy-ness 😢. You either tighen the joints or you got "Kitbash Meterial"? I want that lite beam-SMG 😮
Love it, but couldn't find to buy
Zaku do you think this kit resemble more the seed/astray design than the wing series?
Yep! I would say you’re right
To be honest it looks meh to me I'm probably going to skip this. But I'm glad you made this video so I can see it in virtual hand
they call it L.O Booster
has two claw like canons on each side
so....
its a lobster?
that's a very mean looking head hehe
Man I loved this kit but for the US price it rivals MGs and RGs. Even for P-Bandai standards.
I was wondering why they called this the lobster lol…
it was meant to be pronounced lobster and no one can convince me otherwise
HG Hydra Gundam Revive Premium Bandai
Probably gonna be last after the Griepe. And hopefully they’ll make a Burnlapius!

transformation gimmicks ALWAYS screw up kits. Always.
There are some exceptions, but especially with filling transforming kits (not parts forming) then yes that does often create issues 🤷♂️
colored box? P-bandai coward edition again

@Seph oh. Well oh well, I'll just build Geminass unit 1 as is. This works in my favor as i didn't have Geminass Unit 1 before lol
