I think Bandai tends to pick a scale so finished kits end up between 10-15cm tall or something like that. Funnly enough 1/35 is a common enough military model kit scale, so you could gab some tanks to see how big the guren would look in comparison
12:05 Mecha you had the upper arm armor part C1-6 the other way around. Turn it around and the peg actually sits perfectly in the arm for a tight connection.
IIRC the arm attachment is to allow the claw to fire a wider based Radiant Wave, dealing no damage but enough to interfere with the opposing Knightmare Frame and paralyze them.
Especially for a Real Robot anime like CG. Super Robots (closer to extinction than their sociopolitical drama brothers for the teenage demographic) usually have that style per character.
just finish building mine yesterday, damn this is better than the lancelot kit, this feels so solid, and the plastic is more thick than any other gunpla i build
They're cool kits. Similar enough to gunpla while being refreshingly different. Shame it's not a full fledged line, I've wanted a model kit of Cornelia's Glouchester for waaaaaay too long
Absolutely love Code Geass finally getting some good model kit love. Just reminds me how they sorely missed a trick by not doing kits for all the grunts. They would be an army builder and dioramas dream.
Should they start with Glasgows or Sutherlands? Also, I want to see these Knightmares' previous models. The Lancelot's float unit is so satisfying to see attached to its back.
@@abrahamambriz892 Agree. I love the Lancelot Albion kit, but as a design I have more of a soft spot for the original. As for grunts... why not both? I always associate the Glasgow more with the early Black Knights, whereas I think of the Sutherland first for Britannia.
I absolutely loved your review! The attention to detail and in-depth analysis you provided really helped me understand the intricacies of this kit. The way you showcased its articulation and unique features was truly fantastic. Being a fan of Code Geass, it's always a delight to see a kit from the series receiving such love and attention from fans like myself.
As much I would love to bye it, I wish bandai made a Grunts Knightmares such as Sutherland and more. Code Geass Mecha are underrated they deserve to mass produced more.
You need to quickly buy those... its a pbandai limited release last year april so maybe next year, it's gone... since there is a news about a new sequel of CG... same as metal build too... unfortunately MB Lancelot was still not available hehe ps. already got one and it was SO SO GREAT on doing articulation... and maybe lancelot is small compare to guren, it has more accessories than guren
Goodsmile Company (probably best known for the Nendoroid figures) is actually going to add the Mark-1 Nirvash to their Moderoid line of mecha model kits. No date yet, but it's "in production."
there's already a metal robot version for those two... and TBH... its too fatty for me... also expensive, twice the price of hgs... but i hope not just those two, but with their additional armor before they ejected it (for pilot limitations hehehe)
I think it's because in the show, the Lancelot Albion's wings never fold, but the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N.'s does. Either that or it didn't come to their mind until designing the Guren.
@@FiahCraker Yeah but theres also this one part where Albion puts it's wings horizontally over it's shoulders, which is not possible with it's limited wing articulation. Honestly I would have been satisfied if the wings had something better than a single ball joint, since all it allows is simple 360 rotation (atleast in theory) and small backward and forward, because of that the wings look rather static.
Do you think it should be possible to mix the pieces together and make some with the Code Geass buns and the Mobile Suit Gundam iron-blooded orphans pieces as well should I come thing look more of a interesting new sort of figurine because that be cool don't any of you think?
I decided to start into Gunpla after watching your HG Lancelot video Which was 1 day after you uploaded the video Funny I have WFM HG Kits and none of the new Code Geass releases, the MAIN reason I wanted to try Gunpla
Bruh albion was already released a year ago, april 2022... I already have one few months back and ITS AWESOME!! I love articulating it... better be fast cuz its a pbandai limited regular, maybe its gonna be gone next year...
@@ralphlesterfabillar5635 Oh no I meant that, Albion was a p-bandai exclusive in Japan, but was made a regular release in other countries. Was kinda hopin the seiten got the same treatment but oh well :'> and yes, I am aware that the albion is AWESOME. Plan on gettin em both to recreate Suzaku and Kallen's battle ;-;
I also already preordered Seiten too... maybe gonna came this month or 2... And also... Gonna do the Guren vs Lancelot iconic stance hehehehe Happy Gunpla Huntin hehehe
I'm terrified! Listen to me, Suzaku, Listen!! You are the people in history Japan has warned about! They warned about Zero Requiem!!! Wake up, Black Knights!!! Pay attention!! We are losing our freedom!!!! Pilot name is Karen.
@@willt9721 how so? all i see is something a third grader would have doodled. its proportions are all messed up. the ONLY positive is that is has mildly interesting wings. everything else about it is disjointed. MOST kit-bashes look more cohesive!
It's ironic the HG is so big since Knightmare frames are supposed to be tiny compered to most other mecha.
1/35 scale, same as the original model kits
I think Bandai tends to pick a scale so finished kits end up between 10-15cm tall or something like that. Funnly enough 1/35 is a common enough military model kit scale, so you could gab some tanks to see how big the guren would look in comparison
@@MechaGaikotsu Clearly all kits should be 1/60 so that they can hang out with our D&D and wargaming minis
@@CommanderNemo1iirc, the HG Arbalest and the rest of the HG Full Metal Panic kits are all 1/60th scale
Well 1/35 is a scale a lot bigger then a mg scale so even if smaller it becomes bigger then a 1/144 hg or almost as big as a 1/60 of a gundam
12:05 Mecha you had the upper arm armor part C1-6 the other way around. Turn it around and the peg actually sits perfectly in the arm for a tight connection.
I hope bandai continue this line. I badly need lelouch mecha shinkiro or the one on season 1 for my collection😭
same here... shinkiro, maybe revives like tristan and mordread...
Well Gawain is coming
IIRC the arm attachment is to allow the claw to fire a wider based Radiant Wave, dealing no damage but enough to interfere with the opposing Knightmare Frame and paralyze them.
Code Geass always had mech designs with a lot of personality in them.
Most anime mechas don't think in that too much.
Went into that show expecting nothing. Man does it deliver. Made Gundam 00 Season 2 feel as bland as plain rice
Ironically G00 SS inherited it's timeslot
Idk man, I think monster-looking robots look goofy.
@@WilliamChoochootrainthat's the "personality" part.

Barbatos would be proud with that right arm!
Sheeeeesh! Mine's to be delivered next week! Can't wait for the weekend! 👊
first P-bandai kit ive preorderd, excited for mine to come this month

I hope they continue this line and make the gawain too
ahhh damn i was looking forward to this after the Lancelot Albion but i forgot about it
As much I would love to bye it, I wish bandai made a Grunts Knightmares such as Sutherland and more. Code Geass Mecha are underrated they deserve to mass produced more.
I'm waiting for this to arrive this month! So hyped!
Its a crime that you didn't place lancelot albion side by side
Same... I wish he articulate it with lancelot since he wishes back then to have a guren...
DAYUMMM, that kit do be bussin on them looks
Later review Dan of Thursday model kit once it's released
The fact this is a PB kit is insane to me
I hope it wasn't
@@ironkeko4423 it was, the Lancelot one was too I think. Boggles my mind that Code Geass has somehow become a P-Bandai only series
@@cassetticons4651 I can't remember if the Lancelot was an P Bandai , The Guren sure was , I lose to the scalpers
Also Yeah cuz its not a Remold of the Lancelot
The lancelot albion was p bandai too but it was easier to find in stores in my country compared to other pbandai that i never even see in stores
It’s still sad that Bandai is not including pilot figures as often as they used to.
i do read HD, but wile you where showing, at my head was rolling the idea "this is a MG, isnt it?"
I hope Bandai includes Shinkirō
The joints in the giant arm in mine is actually very tight and have no issue in supporting it extended
Did someone say Code Geass
Huh?
Nope, sorry
@@CrimeLife1897 Gundam-mit I knew someone said it
J...
J.....
JIBUN WO
Bro hasn't seen the sun in days
man you got fast, mine’s in delivery 😢😢 great review thanks !
they finally released a Guren Seiten model kit now I can make a custom gundam with that sick right arm and head also the wings im hype
My point of view that Guren this type is the best in part of colour and surface of each pieces
I love the Guren. This kit is a need
I have the kit from 2008, I love it still haha same with Lancelot.
Finally! Been waiting for this since albion 😍
I /really/ hope they get around to a Gawain, my personal favorite, though I'd settle for a Shinkiro
I hope this kit is not that hard to find like lancelot albion. I really love the guren seiten.
The HG Lancelot Albion was a limited regular release.
This one is pure PBandai as far as I know. So it's gonna be hard or more expensive
@@wulf8889 I'd rather buy it than the Metal Build version. Because that's very expensive.
You need to quickly buy those... its a pbandai limited release last year april so maybe next year, it's gone... since there is a news about a new sequel of CG... same as metal build too... unfortunately MB Lancelot was still not available hehe
ps. already got one and it was SO SO GREAT on doing articulation... and maybe lancelot is small compare to guren, it has more accessories than guren
Lancelot has some competition
Sadly mine doesn't ship till October
Which store did you find it on Buyee? I can't find it anywhere, and on eBay, they are reselling it at an outrageous price..
Still want this, even though I owned the metal build.
These CG kits just make me want some from Eureka Seven.
Goodsmile Company (probably best known for the Nendoroid figures) is actually going to add the Mark-1 Nirvash to their Moderoid line of mecha model kits. No date yet, but it's "in production."
“No cockpit or figure” dropped
Why did you stop doing full articulation like doing up and down in the head side to side
I felt it was too long and boring. Might actually start back into doing it again
Can't wait to get this kit
Wait, there’s no hunching Kallen inside the Guren?
*my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined*
The biggest disappointment. Maybe you could mod the kallen from the 2008 kit into this one
I have the 2008 release displayed with the little Kallen next to it. Little disappointed that they didn't do the same with this kit.
I hope they think about making Guren type special and Lancelot Sin
Wouldn't even be that hard since the designs don't change that much
there's already a metal robot version for those two... and TBH... its too fatty for me... also expensive, twice the price of hgs... but i hope not just those two, but with their additional armor before they ejected it (for pilot limitations hehehe)
YO LETS GOOOO
Been waiting for a kit like this for so long its not even funny lol
The fact that the wings on this kit have some actual articulation already makes it better than hg Lancelot Albion in my eyes.
I think it's because in the show, the Lancelot Albion's wings never fold, but the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N.'s does. Either that or it didn't come to their mind until designing the Guren.
@@FiahCraker Yeah but theres also this one part where Albion puts it's wings horizontally over it's shoulders, which is not possible with it's limited wing articulation.

What do I search up (and go) to find this on buyee?
Hg 紅蓮聖天八極式 should find it for you!
@@MechaGaikotsu thanks!
I find this video funny because I'm about to cosplay Zero from code geass so now I'm interested in buying this lmao
That thing looks like Ripley from Metroid
Not a fan of this Knightmare Frame, but the build seems nice. Gawain next? 👀
It looks like the Metal Robot Spirits version😮
Do you think it should be possible to mix the pieces together and make some with the Code Geass buns and the Mobile Suit Gundam iron-blooded orphans pieces as well should I come thing look more of a interesting new sort of figurine because that be cool don't any of you think?
Gosh I really hope we get a Shinkiro or Gawain…
I decided to start into Gunpla after watching your HG Lancelot video
Which was 1 day after you uploaded the video
Funny I have WFM HG Kits and none of the new Code Geass releases, the MAIN reason I wanted to try Gunpla
is it just me or does it kind of look like the hg nightingale?
How the hell do you keep the wings on? They won't snap in place
Shinkiro or Gekkouei Sui next for Lulu? Please?
"Bandai please make new versions of the HG Code Geass kits because the old kits are crap"
Bandai: "HAHAHA! Kyoukai Senki AMAIM kits go BRRRRRRR!!"
Do you think you'll do a review on the master grade sazabi?
Yes. I have one here I need to get around to building!
Yo cool I didn't know they made code geass mechs
Please review Gundam Cardilac after you buy it.
I know it's release on 15th July
"hg" Gawain was delivered to me today, hope that you review that too..
Building it right now!
@@MechaGaikotsu I just want to note that it's box is the same size as mg freedom gundam 2.0. it's freaking huge😂😂😂
We need more code geass kits
I've still got my fingers crossed that they eventually put out the version of Lancelot Albion that's in Zero's colors from the movie.
@@xenfast130 sounds very pbandai
You're complaints about the joints can fixed with either glue, or sanding and modifications (like pins or even magnets)
if only they remake the alexanders. i would love to buy the red ogre
Still beyond me why Bandai is still not making "Revives" of the Knightmare Frame kits, though.....
I'd be interested in a rg or mg code geass kit, that'd be pretty cool
Coolest mecha figure so far.
Hope something made Subaru-theme Lancelot
Hopefully they'll make HG Percival, after 20 years😅
Time to buy and get busy
Mecha gaikotsu vs the backlog GOOOOOO
also really early xD
Why does bro have bottom hands
Bro why did that remind me of ultrakill lol
I never noticed how much the body looks like a face before. I wonder who copied who. code geass and Gurren Laggan came out at the same time
Why does the hg look better than the metal build? 😢
Getting all of your uploads hella early for some reason.
Damn no regular release like Albion huh :'> and this was my fav unit too. Guess I'll have to save up ;-;

They warned about Zero Requiem!!!
Wake up, Black Knights!!!
Pay attention!!
We are losing our freedom!!!!
Pilot name is Karen.
Nice.
Guren model kit :)
P-bandai :(
ah p-bandai
Ugh, premium bandai 😞
Welll.... apparently no one bought these
Of course... It's P-bandai. Why not rename P-Bandai to "Bandai" and normal releases "Common Bandai"
Lancelot Albion was at least easy to find for a P-Bandai kit almost to the degree of a shelf warmer.
I suppose this would likely end up the same.
@@miragebangbravern I hope so, because i really love the guren more than lancelot. Plus, the metal build version is very expensive.
no. it just looks stupid.
I think it looks pretty nice but the original color scheme is kinda meh.
