Fun fact Kakarot: In case you don’t know Gundam Lfrith has its name taken from Lord Frith, the sun god in Watership Down. The rabbit ear antennas could also be a reference to the book.
@@g_y.rtz420 well i guess I’ve got bad taste cause compared to g reco i much prefer ibo, im not expecting it to be as good as zeta gundam, but that had the benefit of 43 episodes of backstory essentially so it would be hard to be that good on just a 25-50 stand alone anyways. I hope you can agree we dont want a g reco esque story
I hope we get to see the power source used by Gundams in Witch from Mercury whether it would be nuclear (SEED), special particles (UC, 00 and IBO) or probably unlimited power (AGE).
@@angellara7040 in UC they have Minovsky Physics generators they are somewhat like nuclear power generators but different look it up I don’t know The specifics
@@typesaad they are fusion reactors and need helium 3 as fuel like real life fusion reactors. so they are nuclear. The main difference are their emissions, Minowsky particles
I've never been more hyped for a new HG line. The Lfrith looks both innovative and super deailed, the quality really is showing in these models. I can't wait for the Aerial and Pharact!
Really like the design of this model. Like the pink but maybe would like to see it in a steel grey, or blue. I've always liked the idea of a MS in a snowy environment like Frozen Teardrop and I think this MS would fit that....or like a weird mix of gundam and patlabor.
In comparing the Lfrith to the Aerial, there are a few reasons why I prefer the Lfrith a lot more. First is the Shell unit, it really reminds me of the Astrays' torso, which is a mobile suit that I also really like the design of. Second is a very specific design that I find a little bit weird, and that is the Gund Bit. Lfrith's Gund Bits are a lot larger than Aerials and are less in number, hence it's shield form is also larger than Aerial's, but the weird thing I noticed and preferred with Lfrith is that in each Gund Bit, you can see where the beam are supposed to shoot out, as with Aerial's Gund Bits, many of it shoots out beams from a flat point, no noticeable barrel or something. Yeah the articualtion on the elbows could've been better, but idk, personally, I'm fine with whatever depending on the general design, like Lfrith is mainly a space use MS, and with its Gund Bit, it wouldn't really need excessive articualtion, but yeah could've been perfect. The Receiver gun is ugly af without the Gund Bits attached, but considering that it can produce a large beam blade, I'm okay with it.
With the G-Witch line, I will wait and see. In this current state of inflation, I can't really afford everything. And I learned from IBO, that many MS will eventually get a much cooler version, later into the show.
It took me till just now watching the prolog and looking at this gundam from the face to the body it's giving me hardcore zone of the Enders vibes. Obviously it's not as super slim as an orbital frame nor does it have a certain cockpit that the orbital frames usually have but the face itself is giving me serious Jethuty vibes lol. As for the model kit itself it looks very very cool and impressive and I love the colors that it has. And finally my quick thoughts on the prologue video to kick start the series it's really good definitely a great way to start off the show so great job with the review Kararot!
@@barrybend7189 Yeah I can definitely tell iron Blooded orphans took The Martian independent storyline but you could argue that Nadesco already did that before ZOE and IBO. Right now I am imagining what would happen if Dingo Egret was in iron Blooded orphans lol.
Details: inner frame, teenage protagonists, epic gundams with upgrades within first 10 episodes Conclusion: witch from mercury = ibo but the bo stands for “Beam Overload”
this gundam, including the other one from the prolog, were suppose to be released this month, yet I've yet to see it on Amazon, I wonder what's taking so long?
Question... is it safe to use metallic Gundam marker paint on the plastic for this kit? Like, if I want to paint those chest circles green instead of using a sticker?
my only REAL complaint is the thick thighs and the knee thrusters. They make the legs look a bit too mishape, and while the thrusters make sense from a design standpoint considering it's primarily a MS used in space, I've just never been a fan of them
Baby Ericht Samaya's first Gundam, used to make "pretty candles" out of 3-4 Heingras to the mother's horrific shock. Birthday presents can't get any more awesome than this. Also since Takayuki Yanase and Kanetake Ebikawa is confirmed to be G-Witch's mecha designers, I hope G-Witch has improved simple transforming (e.g. Arios, Enact, Clanche, AGE-2 but without partsforming/Airmaster without head removal, etc) kits. Nothing too complex in-lore like the UC's Zetas and Deltas though. That warrants partsformer hell. Eff that.
terrible robot design IMHO the white and pink colors make think to some custom hello kitty style painted gunplas and the most terrible news are that while this thing is available worldwide the amazing looking MS from Cucuruz Doan's Island are p-bandai I return to build and paint a lot better HG kit... the Messer from Hataway's Flash
The Cucuruz Doan's Island kits are just repaints and the Zaku II being a slight remold. On the other hand, the Guncannon is regular release And personally, it looks cool to me regardless of colors
@@miragebangbravern The RGM-79GM is new too and i Hope that they will release It as regular One. Sleggar Custom can be P-Bandai but the standard GM should be regular release. And i Hope they will make more Origin kits too so we can have the complete rooster as regular. But it's a dream for me that i love UC above all the rest of Gundam series

So that makes two Gundam stories that reference Watership Down. Weird.
@@wolfgangervin2582 Somebody at Bandai must have really liked Watership Down
@@tigerzeng3046 TBF, it's a good book and was a stellar movie so I wouldn't blame them.
Great another book to keep learning about I'm already exhausted by iron blooded orphans
@@anwenlokier2292 Just make sure you have a teddy bear or something... Watership may be about bunnies but it sure as hell ain't cute!
I feel like the G Witch mobile suits as a set have a G Reco vibe
That or V Gundam and Gundam X
Ippei Gyoubu designs
I really hope the plot is way closer to ibo than g reco in terms of story though, fingers crossed
@@thesleepingdutchman9568 ....why wish for a mediocre story like ibo?
@@g_y.rtz420 well i guess I’ve got bad taste cause compared to g reco i much prefer ibo, im not expecting it to be as good as zeta gundam, but that had the benefit of 43 episodes of backstory essentially so it would be hard to be that good on just a 25-50 stand alone anyways.

Ambitious mobile suit designs such as this should continue!
I hope we get to see the power source used by Gundams in Witch from Mercury whether it would be nuclear (SEED), special particles (UC, 00 and IBO) or probably unlimited power (AGE).
In seed very few machines it was nuclear the rest use battery powered machines
Aren't u.c also nuclear and the particles are just the by product? Atleast they go nuclear sometimes
@@angellara7040 in UC they have Minovsky Physics generators they are somewhat like nuclear power generators but different look it up I don’t know The specifics
@@typesaad they are fusion reactors and need helium 3 as fuel like real life fusion reactors. so they are nuclear. The main difference are their emissions, Minowsky particles
@@The_Str4nger so it’s a safe power source unlike nuclear ?

Good to see you doing model reviews again. This series looks pretty good so far gunpla wise.
I'm just happy that JNTHED broke out into the mainstream. Been following that mecha artist for years now, and always loved his work.
Really like the design of this model. Like the pink but maybe would like to see it in a steel grey, or blue. I've always liked the idea of a MS in a snowy environment like Frozen Teardrop and I think this MS would fit that....or like a weird mix of gundam and patlabor.
I hope these models of the new series gets Master Graded very soon.

I just scored the black and neon pink one too!!! I'm so excited
I like to think that some of the seamlines are necessary so they put them qhere they would be easiest to cement and clean.
With the G-Witch line, I will wait and see. In this current state of inflation, I can't really afford everything. And I learned from IBO, that many MS will eventually get a much cooler version, later into the show.
I'm getting a Gespenst/Huckebein feel with the design, particularly with the head.
This seems like a really cool kit, but for now, I'll just hope for a Master Grade.
I guess the green mass-production Lfrith will be P-Bandai unless they decided to give them a normal release.
9:15 still waiting for that pre production version т-т
This one is the one I want most from the line. Looks so good!
I'm buying the kit tomorrow. Wish me luck on the build!
I hope the Lfrith will make a return as the rival's MS for the final showdown with the Aerial.
Or underneath the Aerial is the frame of the Lfrith.
If I get this I'm going to repaint those pink parts. Also if you paint it all white I'll look a little later the g bouncer

Fun fact Gundam from Gundam 00 to AGE all took ideas from Zone of the Enders. 00 even had a mechanical designer from Kojima's team to design the MS.
@@barrybend7189 Really now that sounds awesome!
@@MrDarksol AGE and IBO took the martian independence story, 00 and AGE had the first part Orbital Frame/ LEV dichotomy.
@@barrybend7189 Yeah I can definitely tell iron Blooded orphans took The Martian independent storyline but you could argue that Nadesco already did that before ZOE and IBO. Right now I am imagining what would happen if Dingo Egret was in iron Blooded orphans lol.
@@MrDarksol yeah but AGE took more of the Nadesico route. Especially with the first part reveal of the Vagens being human all along.
Looks like Tekaman blade.
I was a little hesitant about this line at first, I am happy to say I was wrong if every other kit is as good as the first two.
I do hope we get the MP version of this kit, though chances are it's gonna be P-Bandai.
This would be tragic
Knowing Bandai the mass production model will P Bandai
It's going to be interesting to see alt color P Bandai kits of this.
Hey Kakarot. Did you get the RG God Gundam yet??
Build-wise, it's like a HG-IBO but way more refined especially in color separation and durability.
That panel lining is immaculate, did he use tamiya panel lining?
It's still on backorder for months.
didnt all the gundams from IBO use a single elbow joint?
I'm going to focus on the G-Witch HG grunt kit.
Hope you do a development history video on the lfrith kakarot197
I'm on the fence about buying this one. I hope the c-clips on the knees and ankles don't break off after a while.
I wonder when the Gundam Aerial is gonna come out
Kakarot mentioned October 2022 in one of his Gundam News episodes, along with at least one other G-Witch HG kit
Details: inner frame, teenage protagonists, epic gundams with upgrades within first 10 episodes
Conclusion: witch from mercury = ibo but the bo stands for “Beam Overload”
we still have not received a Gundam Lfrith Pre Production....wtf
this gundam, including the other one from the prolog, were suppose to be released this month, yet I've yet to see it on Amazon, I wonder what's taking so long?
Question... is it safe to use metallic Gundam marker paint on the plastic for this kit? Like, if I want to paint those chest circles green instead of using a sticker?
Another to the list of awesome shields?
The only thing i hate about the kit is the beam blade for the gun is small and not long
my only REAL complaint is the thick thighs and the knee thrusters. They make the legs look a bit too mishape, and while the thrusters make sense from a design standpoint considering it's primarily a MS used in space, I've just never been a fan of them
