There's always a probability the oncoming RG's Nu-2 Hi-Nu's going to be a hand grenade/IED. Imagine surviving a heart attack just to be blasted to a pulp by an exploding gunpla.
@@sph9564 That's actually a good news if it shares a lot of RG Nu parts and joints. I have the RG Nu Gundam and it's one of the best RG I ever own, on par with the RG Sazabi. I am also a masochistic b@stard. Built the RG Zeta, RX-78-2,Exia and Sinanju. Building it hurts me but it feels so good.
I’d love to see you tackle that MG Zeta 2.0 in your “backlog burn-through” soon. It was my first master grade kit and I love it despite some of its flaws. Plus it has a killer transformation and awesome unique display base. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
I absolutely adore the Hi Nu, particularly Izubuchi's original lineart version. Just looks so much more monstrous and unrefined than the Nu. Awe inspiring and very menacing.
I'm still pumped for Mecha to review the upcoming MG Gundam Virtue this year. Yet, still waiting... Ay Mecha! *Mecha Gaikotsu × JobbyTheHong* Collab when?
Yeah I really enjoyed building and detailing up the Build Fighters Hi-Nu vRave based on this old kit. I change out the sky blue for Violet (which appears halfway between blue and purple), swapped the gunmetal frame to bronze and added more aluminium/silver to match the promo art. It now hovers majestically over my work desk.
I would absolutely have asked for this! It's so great. I'm a Hi Nu guy through and through -- can't wait for the RG -- and I've always been interested in this HG, and the Vrabe.
I got the GPB version of this kit (basically the same kit but with a color scheme similar to the Nu Gundam). Aside from being back heavy and having only a pair of working fin funnels, it's a pretty nice kit for its age.
@@HYBRIDZHQ it is. It's from the same line as the Beginning Gundam kit from that Gunpla Builders OVA. It's hard to find, but looks good in the standard Nu colors.
This kit has been sitting in my backlog for a while as well. I'm glad to see it still mostly holds up, especially since I hope to pick up the HG Nightingale when it comes out.
I actually have Ver.Ka High-Nu GUNDAM! It took me DAYS!! This little one looks more “aerodynamic” compared to the BULKY one Ver.Ka! I may try to get the RG in the future, once it comes out. LOVE THAT BLUE THOUGH!!
With the HG Hi Nu Gundam and the already realeased HG Nightingale in place, this is the defining moment to settle their differences between long time rivals, Amuro Ray and Char Aznable since the One Year War. Well, anyway, MSG: CC- Beltorchika's Children novel is actually a different take from MSG: Char's Counterattack anime film.
My only gripe with this kit is that ONLY 2 OF THE FUNNELS ARE FUNCTIONAL The HGUC Nu Gundam, which came out several years prior, has 6 fully functional fin funnels.
I've built this multiple times. I've straight built it, I've Kit bashed it with the Zeta before they made the Scramble Gundam (If you've seen the Hot Scramble you know why this makes sense), I've also built the VRABE which I'm still convinced is supposed to be the Hi-Nu BRAVE. This kit is so much fun and I look forward to the Real Grade.
Eeyyyyyy! I got this kit; and used the black parts from Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G to give that classic Nu Gundam coloring and gave him his Nu Gundam shield. Can't wait for the RG Hi-Nu!
@@brunocorrea2854 imma get both tbh, juat like the mg nu and hi nu, I like the difference between the regular and ver ka. The standard HG has a more line art accurate design, while the RG has a more detailed design
The problem i had with this kit after a while was that waist joint. It became really weak and brittle. One day I decided I was gonna go back and detail it up and the ball on the waist joint just broke. Now I have to get another one just to replace it. Once those legs are on. Its best to just leave them alone.
So many people have massive Gunpla backlogs and it's mainly caused by wanting to go the extra mile with them. I just build my kits the moment they come through the door. The only time they're kept waiting is if multiple kits arrive around the same time, such as if i buy multiple kits together. My largest ever backlog was when i'd received a large sum of money and had used it to buy several Master Grades and the last four Real Grades that were out at the time. (Unicorn, Banshee, Johnny's Zaku & Tallgeese)
This was my first kit, about 10 years ago. I now have so many kits that I cant fit them all... My backlog is massive too. I totally recommend it, it's pretty advanced for it's age and sure was the gateway drug to the hobby.
One thing that I never see mentioned is the posable funnel can fit into any of the other positions on the wings, meaning that if you have three of this kit, all six funnels can be deployed.
If i cant find or afford the RG sbould i grab this or hold out for the RG? Im a new collector so kind of just looking at models that catch my eye and the RG definitely did, this doesnt seem bad but there are some noticable diffences.
thought I had an aww shit moment when I saw the thumbnail.. thought I had something to add to the backlog.. but it was in the backlog all along.. #29 in fact!
I didn’t know this was a redesign of the Hi-Nu Gundam. I do want the RG but seeing the MG Ver. Ka of the Hi-Nu I definitely would love that on my shelf more.
No one is probably going to see this comment but, extremely disappointed that this only has to actually usable fin funnels in comparison to the regular Nu Gundam, and also disappointed that we still don't have a high grade revive of this kit it would definitely look great with the treatment.
I can't ignore the Mecha Gaikotsu Skeleton's V-fin since it appears to come from a Real Grade Astray , but back to the kit in this review. If the Hg Hi Nu is that good then the Rg is something I'm looking forward to.
You reviewed the Hi-Nu vRabe in the past, missed opportunity to do a comparison. Perhaps one day you can score the old MC Model Hi Nu Gundoom, it had a ridiculous double-sided beam sword and even wings of light effects.
I have this kit and it looks great for an HG. But sadly the limited neck and hips mean it looks best just standing there as supposed to any type of dynamic action pose. I'll be getting the RG for sure but I kinda wish its proportions were closer to this HG.
"This video right here wouldn't have been possible without those awesome people at..." My mind: Hobby Link Japan! Him: Buyee! My mind: Buyee! Him: Hobby Link Japan! FUCK.
I had a heart attack and then realized the RG not out yet
Same. Saw this in my sub box, and freaked out because I thought the RG wasn't out for a little while still

It cant stand properly. But hey..its zeta..its meant to be aerial all tha time lol..for me the only downpoint is hyper mega launcher
Kinda crazy how similar this looks to the MG I bought last year for $70.
The HGUC is indeed based on that 2007 MG design.

I did my first review on this kit! And I'm glad you finally got around to talking about it! You're my favorite creator for sure!
for a low quality "burn the backlog" review, this is still a great review lol.
It doesn’t matter if I spend a day at a video or a couple of hours on one they still turn out pretty much the same 🤯
@@MechaGaikotsu suggestions about Tallgeese II.

MG Virtue has already been slated for a November release.

Hi Nu VRave is probably one of my favorite for Gundam Build series. A shame they didn't upgrade the hip joint. It still awesome
I would absolutely have asked for this! It's so great. I'm a Hi Nu guy through and through -- can't wait for the RG -- and I've always been interested in this HG, and the Vrabe.
I can hope the RG Hi Nu and HG Nightingale will get released so I can finally see these two fight like in Beltorchika's Children
I got the GPB version of this kit (basically the same kit but with a color scheme similar to the Nu Gundam). Aside from being back heavy and having only a pair of working fin funnels, it's a pretty nice kit for its age.
Is that an official bandai kit? I was gonna do this with the hi nu ver ka

This is my absolute favorite gundam and my favorite design of this gundam.
there's also the Build Fighters variants who's backpacks could turn into a bird-like unit when separated.
Hi Nu Vrabe. And I prefer Vrabe over standard Hi Nu due to more accessories. The wings are also better looking than standard Hi Nu.
Mechagaikotsu reviewed the HGBF Hi-Nu Vrabe like 6 years ago
My only gripe with this kit is that ONLY 2 OF THE FUNNELS ARE FUNCTIONAL
The HGUC Nu Gundam, which came out several years prior, has 6 fully functional fin funnels.
Probably they lazy to design connection between funnel and the wing unit.

Damn dude. Youre makin me wanna paint my nails. Idk if I'm confident enough but you are killin it dude

Never realised that the hi nu is this short
It’s a little shorter than the HGUC Nu Gundam.
Axis forces wants to know your location. We have an asteroid to gift you.
This is crazy good looking for an old HG. Hell, even a new one. Maybe I'm biased because this is the only feddie suit I like enough to have a kit of.

Man. You reviewing the HG Hi Nu gets me hyped for the RG.
Well you can try to cement the ball joint or covee it with super glue to tighten it a lil bit
I recently discovered cleaning slime marketed for car vents and keyboards is perfect for dusting detailed and delicate models.
I actually just built the master grade version of this kit recently! Absolutely love it.
One thing that I never see mentioned is the posable funnel can fit into any of the other positions on the wings, meaning that if you have three of this kit, all six funnels can be deployed.
Yo cool kit and everything, but are those nail stickers or what?? Need the nail tutorial next, that's so awesome!
I have the MG Ver. Ka. version and i just love how it has a presence in my shelf!
The Strike Freedom of Universal Century
I love this kit. It just doesn't hold up without a stand or extra care
This is my fave MS in the Gundam Breaker games too. Very useful to have the backpack funnels
Love the new segment name 😁😁😁
Hi Nu is dope as hell, but that manicure/nail art is fire! Gundariam Tier!

Could you please build and review the MG Rx-78 3.0? Please, thank you☺
Already got my Pre Order in. It'll actually be my first Hi NU
How did you get the RG so early?
Oh.... oh.... I'm stupid.
Damn, that's pretty good for 2009. Hi-Nu is my favorite Gundam design but Ground Gundam is my favorite Gundam entirely.
Nice, I have the same Kit - however the blue beam saber part broke too
Where would you look to find a replacement beam saber part?
Of all the Mecha's our there, gundams have the very best faces hands down!!
I remember that one stop motion video featuring this Gunpla!
It was the one where it fought the qubeley!!

Didn’t know the hi nu was a lot smaller than the anime version, might look weird next to my rg sazabi
It was based on Geara frame from what I remembered
I'm doing a kit bash between 2 HG Hi-Nu kits, and a Hi-Nu Vrabe so I can have six functional fin funnels for display.
My only complaint about this kit is you get only 2 functional funnels out of 6.
In Gunpla Builders Beginning OVA, the dude that owns Hi-Nu bought atleast 3 kits of it for him to use the 6 seperate fin funnels in battle
@@senpie6639 and he don't even build the kit. His manager/assistant does all the works.

Just got back from watching CCA last night. I also have a G-Frame of the nice-looking suit.

You got me there man, i first saw the video i thought it was the RG 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The RG Hi Nu about to give the RG Nu a run for its money.
Epic intro dude!
This kit looks so good. I can't wait to get to build my own.
I plan to get the rug And painted in the cooler beginning G colors
It’s a nice kit but I feel bad the Hi Nu Gundam’s funnels didn’t get the same treatment as the Nu Gundam’s funnels.
Oh boy... Going to get RG and paint it to an original Gunpla Builders color scheme (white/black)
I have this kit and it looks great for an HG. But sadly the limited neck and hips mean it looks best just standing there as supposed to any type of dynamic action pose. I'll be getting the RG for sure but I kinda wish its proportions were closer to this HG.
