This is the only kit that I buy immediately after it released and I love it. This is my favorite granddaddy so far! The proportion looks very dynamic with the smaller longer waist design, definitely look more like a super robot. And the legs looks more similar to the human leg proportion which looks nice especially in kneeling pose . Most of the Japanese robot has short thigh, when you do some kneeling pose it never look right.
My favorite granddaddy hg are the revive and the origin. But after this review, I’m gonna get this one and display it next to my 2 favorites. The articulation of this is looking awesome.
Y’know, initially I passed on this kit because at first the proportions and overall design look off to me, so I passed even seeing it in person once. But after actually taking a good look at it and looking at this review, although I also love and have a lot of Revive’s MAYBE I’ll take a break from the usual and give this one a chance and see if it passes my judgement and experience why it’s a lot of people’s favorite HG RX.
Looking forward to your paint up of this kit. I decided to follow your lead and do my own set of the three new HG Grandpas (in my own color choices, of course) and it's been a great quarantine project. Still deciding if I'll add the RX-78-F00 to the line up.
Now that's a beautiful kit. Anatomically inspired frame, hard lines contrasted by soft curves, a beautiful Astray influenced face and some awesome lightened tones? 👨🏼🍳💋👌🏼 Where have you been all my 6 months building.
Not a fan of the design of the head and the chest vents, but can definitely vibe with the dark white colour scheme. Still think the OG RG one is my fav
Saw this at my local hobby shop and was wondering if I should get it since I've never gotten a HG before. I'm mostly into MG and RG so this may be a bit simple but it looks great. I feel like I'm getting way too many model kits ever since covid though. Where am I supposed to keep these damn things? Displays are getting cluttered!!
Imagine having all kits featurinc this kind of aethetics, body contours and articulation, would be an awesome kit aside from having great panel lined details offered by RG/MG kits!
Lol, yeah surprise? Turns out when you’re messing with a kit in front of a camera in front of your face sometimes you push parts too hard. It’s not like it’s a devastating flaw of the kit I was trying to hide on purpose 😒
When I get the money to buy it, I'm definitely picking it up, if I can. The knees honestly aren't that bad, I see it as almost like a kneeling pad, or something.
Recently I've been getting video suggestions for reviews of the Special Creative Model EX RX-78-2 Gundam which is action figure. From what I can tell the Beyond Global is based on this figure. The SCM EX Gundam is in a smaller scale and has slightly bigger proportions in its arms and legs but shares a lot of design with the Beyond Global.
Im fighting over which RX78-2 i should buy, the Origin or this Beyond Global. The Origin's detail is great throughout and the accessories are plentiful. But i like the proportion and colours of the Beyond Global, and also cheaper... Argh which should i buy??
I was told that this beam sabers from this kit would be a better choice to swap with the one that comes with the MG RX-78-2 2.0 version. Can you confirm if ever you have both kits in your collection? Desperately looking for a replacement beam saber since the one came with my MG kit is very long.
Thanks for the review! Could you help me decide which RX-78-2 to buy? I have no intention to paint or modify, so if I wanted to buy a single 1/144 RX-78-2, would you recommend the Beyond Global over the RG? Ignore the price. :) Thanks in advance!
hello, im new to gundam but i want to try build it, can you recommend which one should i start for beginner like me, is rx-78-2 a good one to start with
Don't know where you are in your gunpla journey since making this comment but yeah the HGs are generally 5 inches or so tall while MGs are bigger in detail, height, and price
In order to make the foot as one piece the mold needs to be recessed on either the top or bottom and many times that means in order to make the connection on the top they have to recess the bottom
Same. I think rg was a good grade for it’s time but now rg has pretty much done away with its inner frame that didn’t really work so now they are really just hg kits with a bit more detail. Like i said good for their time but now with how advanced hg kits are they are near irrelevant
@@oliverwithers9736 sorry I’m replying to a comment from a month ago but RG’s aren’t irrelevant any RG after the RG unicorn gundam is solid due to the removal of the prebuilt inner frame so they are basically highly detailed hg’s and contain more parts.
@@pengu0- yeah I worded mine poorly my point was meant to be that as the original marketing point modern rg kits have no relevance to the old ones and are similar to hg kits but I was trying to say the old ones are irrelevant but the new ones are very good even if they are really really good hgs as good hg kits like the moon gundam are pretty much rgs
so for the 1/144 granddaddy kits we have The Origin, the G40, the Beyond Global, the new Entry Grade, and the recently revealed RX-78F00, this year is full of granddaddy in the 1/144 scale, that is too much.
@@Bobert2020 Build-wise? Not really. The Origin ver. might look cooler and have more features, but this kit is more solid and features new engineering. Articulation is on par, with each being better in different joints.
the origin gramps can't do the final shot pose, beyond global can do it without breaking a sweat! beyond global is more technically advanced than the origin, no polycaps man, no polycaps!
Hey, Zaku. Thanks for reviewing this kit. I really appreciate all the time and work you put into reviews; they're incredibly helpful in this hobby. I wanted to say that this review felt pretty rushed as far as pacing goes, and wanted to encourage you to take as much time as you need to not wear yourself out. This may be completely unwarranted, but it's not typical to see you seemingly trying to move so fast through a review, so I was a bit concerned. I hope you're doing well. Thanks again for all your work.
I’m fine! I guess for this one maybe it just felt there really wasn’t that much to cover other than what you could clearly see. Know what I mean? It’s a great kit, but pretty straightforward
finally you have reviewed the beyond global! so waiting for your review man! keep it up! better late than never! they'll just remove the 40th anniversary logo just like what bandai did to the logo on the boxes of the rg Gramps and the revive!
Hmm. Seems an unnecessary kit. If I were to choose I will just get the hg gto. Articulation and proportions are better. Imo. But for the plastic in the box bang for the buck, gto is inarguably better.

30 minutes missions? They had optional stickers, no eye or colour correcting stickers
@@vengeanceN1 them too? Nice!
@@vengeanceN1 and they’re $10 USD per figure
The first hguc zaku only has one for the monoeye
Ikr. Just one and it eyes
Anyone else watch reviews of kits that they already have/ built?
I watch reviews of things that i really should have watched a review of beforehand
yup yup. all the time.
I've ordered it, just watching these videos, like watching teasers of a movie you're gonna watch tomorrow
I do sometimes just to see if it's just me or there's actually a problem with the kit.
Me. Especially when I'm not planning to build it yet but still wanna see how it's like when it's built.
The moveable skirts make the enhanced hip articulation look alot more natural than the G40.
Definitely
Once again as someone who complained a lot about the quick look videos and then being split into three videos. This new format is SO much better. 👍👍
Same, quick look video is stupid and pointless.
This is the only kit that I buy immediately after it released and I love it. This is my favorite granddaddy so far! The proportion looks very dynamic with the smaller longer waist design, definitely look more like a super robot. And the legs looks more similar to the human leg proportion which looks nice especially in kneeling pose .

Love the proportions, i wish he had more weapons though.
That's what other models are for
Yeah like a Bazooka, and some more hands
Well the only other model really is the beam bazooka and you can only really do one pose with it at the end of the day maybe two
My favorite granddaddy hg are the revive and the origin. But after this review, I’m gonna get this one and display it next to my 2 favorites. The articulation of this is looking awesome.
I can't believe the RG came out ten years ago. Damn I feel old.
I can't believe I was alive when the first kit came out in 1980! 🤣🤣🤣
Hope there's a beyond exia in the future
That hg needs some 2020 gunpla tech
Y’know, initially I passed on this kit because at first the proportions and overall design look off to me, so I passed even seeing it in person once.

I know that feeling, too. My collection almost tripled since March.
This month I already bought an hg black warrior, hi-v and beyond global...
True.
*Been waiting for this!*
really nice review of a mid-range priced kit, would like to see this fully customed painted with decals
Great review! I saw some parts iwant to peek that other reviewers didn't care
G40: ALMOST anime version
Imagine having all kits featurinc this kind of aethetics, body contours and articulation, would be an awesome kit aside from having great panel lined details offered by RG/MG kits!
thanks for the review im planning to get one
wow... amazing articulation for HG.
now i want it 🤣
13:15 BOOO!!!!!
nice save cutting the video there

@@ZakuAurelius cmon, its a ghost "peek a booo" thing, i think its a miss opportunity to insert a joke there XD ,
i not saying the kit has a flaw :)
Cant wait to see it in Char's colors!!
I won the glow in the dark version from prize, is it a limited version?
I guess so? 🤷♂️

I’d go for the origin
Just got this at GameStop for $10.
Good deal! 👍
Is it me or does the bottom red stomach section seam a bit small?
Looks really thin
I think it makes the chest look a bit more dynamic, but yes the stomach armor is pretty slim.
The panel line details on the knee is reminiscent of the MG Rx 78-2 ver 1.0's knee

Thanks for this review sir! If you don't mind me asking will you be getting the 1/144 RX-78 F00 Gundam?
No. Possibly the 1/100
@@ZakuAurelius I see. Thanks for the reply!

I'm waiting for the delivery of that thing. I'll gonna add the weapons from rx 78 origin to it
I'm currently building this as my first Gunpla and it's very fun.
Its fairly small thought. Are all 1/144 the same size?
Don't know where you are in your gunpla journey since making this comment but yeah the HGs are generally 5 inches or so tall while MGs are bigger in detail, height, and price
The proportions remind me of the SCM EX figures.
Will Strike Gundam get the same treatment next time?
Why do the bottoms of HG feet often have gaps in them? Like what is Bandai saving themselves from doing by having those?
Probably half a miligram of plastic per kit
In order to make the foot as one piece the mold needs to be recessed on either the top or bottom and many times that means in order to make the connection on the top they have to recess the bottom
10:48
Hey Zak could you Replace those Beyond Global Feet with G40's Feet. See if there's any improvement or not. ☺ 👍
I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to do that
Does this kit comes with a action base?
I need the beyond global version of the unicorn gundam
DO i even have the right kit? The HG beyond Global RX78-2 Clear Color version has No ankle joint from side to side. Did i built it wrong or?
Funny that Bandai reutilized a lot of this kit on the last RX-78_2 entry grade
Thanks for the review. For a person that's never built a Rx 78 kit and only want one kit of it. Would you say this is the one?
I would say the MG 3.0 or MG The Origin
I was about to buy an rg, and then I looked at this and bought this instead haha

A Super poseable Gundam looks off but I'm gonna buy this one.
Does its torso supposed to move like that?
Heya, Zaku.
In your personal opinion, which do you like better?
This or the G40?
This
@@ZakuAurelius thanks for the reply. This certainly helps with my decision to buy...
Evem bandai keeps forgetting the 30th anniversary Gundam. Heck it came with a bazooka AND the gundam hammer.
It was a great version!
potential for mg 4.0??
do beamsaber effect comes with the kit? im asking cause my one kit just had whole while saber without effect and now im anxious...
If I included it in the review then it came in the box! 👍
@@ZakuAurelius thank you sooo much
For a 40th anniversary edition i find the lack of accesories, and the "red" coloring. Besides that it looks great.
What size in inches?
Just bought this kit and the Zeong that compliments it. Haven't been excited for a kit in a while. Thanks for the review!
so for the 1/144 granddaddy kits we have The Origin, the G40, the Beyond Global, the new Entry Grade, and the recently revealed RX-78F00, this year is full of granddaddy in the 1/144 scale, that is too much.
I have this gunpla!
I kinda was expecting more runners
Would it have killed them to throw in the bazooka and an extra hand or two? This might be the only non-80's RX-78-2 to not have the bazooka.
RX-78 variant no. 100000000000000000000
At least it's a new mold, unlike the unicorn, banshee, and phenex, which has about 7 different molds which are recolored about 70 times.

awful knees? How were the knees awful?
For me personally, the panelling for the knees and the outcome doesn't cut it.
@@Jo-un6es so the problem is the panel lining. I can handle that.
I prefer the revive version
Now the question is, who's throwing the box, or u threw and u caught it by urself.
It’s a mystery!
I think beyond global body proportions are better applied in the seed kit. RX 78 2 with slim proportion are not not suitable
The kit looks cool but to me the white kinda looks wierd
Proportions feel rather Pixie-ish to me. Not a bad thing but it just strikes me that way.
I likr HG because i can paint or work on plus cheaper
Would this kit be a good start for a beginner?
Yes.
finally you have reviewed the beyond global! so waiting for your review man! keep it up!
better late than never!
they'll just remove the 40th anniversary logo just like what bandai did to the logo on the boxes of the rg Gramps and the revive!
Damn i wish i coulg get my hands on this amazing kit, sadly nobody delivers to where i live, can’t have shit in russia
Sad life
no gunpla or model kits in Russia?
man thats just sad man!
no gunpla kits in russia?
I can't live with out gunpla!
You make Russia sound like Detroit
Hmm. Seems an unnecessary kit. If I were to choose I will just get the hg gto. Articulation and proportions are better. Imo. But for the plastic in the box bang for the buck, gto is inarguably better.
RX 78 CA is a good RX variant. While i think the BG looks awful, those colors are awesome.
I don't like the look of it when it's in a standing pose
Está potente armarlo, send help
I like the color of this, kinda disappointed you'll change it.
At least it's gonna be casval gundam colors
At least it's gonna be 3x faster
Gonna give my tier list on RX HG kits
1. BG
2. Origin
3. Revive
4. G40
to be honest, I don't like the G40 Design.
Yey im early
So... why are the thighs so big?
More power!
Ugly head. Not a resemble of original RX78
I don't know, looks cool and menacing in a good way to me
Rx-78-2 "pastel" gundam
I just got this. Damn thing cost me 30 bucks. 😆
The price is very cheap just like HG gundam but the gundam is like RG
