    Gundam is one of the few people I can listen to talk about absolutely anything and I'll actually pay attention, absorb what he says and I truly enjoy the experience. I'll probably never built one of these because my hands and brain don't work together that well, but I do enjoy learning about them. 💗

  • @fanman6568
    @fanman6568 3 роки тому +4

    In my opinion I think this is probably the definitive unicorn gundam kit ever. For $250 to me is worth the money. Which is way better than the PG final battle version. Which is like Over $500 in total with the LED. I think one of the problems why people are tired of the unicorn Gundam is probably because Bandai needs to make two versions of them all the time. Two versions where if you want the green and red psycho frame.
    The last thing I’m gonna say is that it matters more at the end of the day if it makes new innovation and variety. I’m totally fine having the same kid coming out every single year as long as I feel very different from the last one.

  • @lllXanderlll
    @lllXanderlll 9 місяців тому +1

    Definitely agree that it does feel over priced, but that's because I'm only interested in the Unicorn itself because I've heard over and over that it's leagues better than the OVA and ver ka. I love Unicorn so I ended up grabbing the OVA Unicorn and it was my first MG too, not a bad experience and it looks good to boot.. but I cannot for the life of me get it to transform. I've done the RG Banshee and Unicorn numerous times and figured it would be the same but bigger - and it is - but boy this thing is tight and after breaking one of the pieces in the front ankle armor I decided that I'd never try it again. Besides I like it in Unicorn mode more anyway lol

    • @blipblip
      @blipblip 3 роки тому +1

      I would love a PGU Nu. Idealistically they could really improve upon the metal build while carrying some of the proportion from the RG nu and I bet it will be instantly sold out even if it is sold for 350-400 a pop. But I would object the psycho-frame design on it though. I thought that was too gimmicky and flashy and 'unrealistic' on a wall machine (yea I can't stand Unicorn at all it is imo one of the ugliest and stupidest gundam design ever imo). On the other hand, I absolutely love the new PGU rx-78-2, as a guy who never cared for the original gundam I must say they have done a great job modernizing the details and proportion of it. I can only that the PGU Nu will be even a step or two above that.

    • @gideonmyles3083
      @gideonmyles3083 3 роки тому +1

      @@blipblip That's a fair opinion. I think the psycho-frame would translate well to a larger sizing and with all the practice Bandai gets with the Unicorn they could actually make it pretty cool with their lighting systems, or at least I would think so. I would totally be one to drop the big bucks on it if they released one. But seriously they need to give some other suits love. Plus it might bring some attention to other shows that aren't exactly loved like others, for example, Victory which is pretty wack and rough but still good and the Victory 2 is a pretty fun design. Or we can beg Bandai to make the Mammoth Gundam from Mobile Fighter G

    I don’t think there will be a Phenex MGEX or even a Banshee Norn MGEX. Reason: lighting the backpack. There isn’t any good way of lighting the DE Shields and the Armed Armor XC.

    What's the best method to get replacement parts? Was working on Dantalion last night and accidentally broke off a piece of the massive backpack.

    the MGEX is the best iteration. the PG looks more like a daban KO glorified inner frame due to needing the space for the led wiring. that said i still like my PG Unicorn but would much prefer the MGEX if i had to choose only one physical representation of the Unicorn.

    Wait a gundam fan that loves Gundam UC
    *that's a rarity, huh*
    Also yea I think UC is being reused at every second. I understand that it's super popular and even got the west invested through UC and in that...why NOT continue to use your most popular IP? But it's the pricing of those products - there is making a product for your most popular IP, then there is taking advantage of the fact that the IP is popular to overprice the product.

    They need to milk it. How much does it cost to build a life size movable Gundam. Those are some big electric bills.
