You seem to be getting more comfortable with your reviews and they're getting better and better as a result! Always appreciate showing off all the features with your own bases, as well as so many different poses! Keep up the great work man!
Like the glass slipper of Cinderella, I'm starting to fall comfortably into the work mode here. I'm glad you like the videos, thank you. I really should give myself a break though, after the backlog list is cleared.
@@mj2005gundam you should! No need to burn out, man. You're always first with new kits, and ACTUALLY review older more obscure kits. That's what I love about the channel. But it wouldn't be as good if you hated it. Take care of yourself man!
The purple blades are literally the only flaws i can see based on the review, they should be green, but this is definitely a Christmas present for myself!
They might eventually be purple, dunno. The beams are baffling since they change in the future, and are discrepant from depending on which shot you see of it
@@mj2005gundam to be fair tho, the javelins are purple in the Opening song, so they actually should've gave us switchable ones between green or purple, not like it matters tho, maybe for some people (i like green more)
holy shit, this actually feels like a new Type V3 review- and he's my favorite gunpla reviewer, so that is absolutely the highest compliment I can give. Excellent review!
I really hope to see any of those major duel MSs to return honestly, and hope that they don't get like trashed immediately. Only one we have is Guel's Dilanza so far.
To be fair. The reason it got thrashed badly was because the AI was pretty stupid and fell for a LOT of Feints Guel himself would have seen through. Heck once Guel took full control he gave a better show towards the end
@@mj2005gundam Yeah. To be honest G-Witch makes amazing job selling those kits and all those cool gimmicks and overall quality of the kits aren't helping saving your money from big B. BTW new episode also hit pretty hard when it comes to hype for upcoming kits.
Dang this is an impressive kit visually! I’m getting a bit jealous with how you get these on release compared to how long it takes for these kits to reach the west. (At a reasonable price, seriously, the $15-$16 aerial was going for $50+) The first few kits just reached us and they already are out of stock. Can’t wait for this thing!
I will soon lose that privilege though, so don't get too jealous. But it's such a shame that the G-Witch kits are selling out like Thanos snapping them out of existence in Japan and the West, because they're at the very least enjoyable to build and mess with.
@@mj2005gundam Indeed. That being said I do have hope that in the future the west, or at least America and Canada will have quicker and easier access to these model kits. Especially since paying $10 shipping on average (not even including the $1-2 in tax slowly eats away at Gunpla's affordability. So a $15-$20 kit is now $27-$34 Which is insane. Normally one would go onto amazon to get reasonably priced things with shipping, but gunpla on Amazon is horribly overpriced anyway. And some in person "japan themed" shops usually add $10 or more to the price anyway.
I'm loving this series so far! Just built the Aerial and I'll definitely grab some more from the series once they're more widely available in the west. These aren't kits I'll go out of my way for but I'd pick up at my local hobby store.
That's too bad! I absolutely love the shows direction so far but I can't stand watching week to week since not much can happen in 20+ minutes. We're in a unique position where no one knows the outcome and secrets the show has to offer yet. People years down will know pretty much everything and the magic will probably be lost.
@@AstreaGT it's mostly the space magic stuff I didn't enjoy, bailing Suletta out whenever she's backed into a corner in the duels, it's like Unicorn levels of OP unless they are going to explain it. I know I asked for magic, but more like how they did it in Knights and Magic, not another Unicorn Gundam.
Darilbalde really redeems the Jeturk House to me. It just fixes a lot of my complaints about the Dilanza. Better proportions, better paintjob, ditches the useless gun for more melee.
"Except a gun" Season 2 has got you covered. Wondering how they will release the upgraded parts of the trio house suits. I hope its a whole new kit as I passed on guel suits but his recent development made me want to get the Darilbalde.
Welp, the HG Darilbalde package still doesn't have an gun, but I hope they would make a full package for the upgrades of the three branches ace units later down the line. Also, I'm so glad that people are finally starting to acknowledge Guel to a point where they'd give his MSs a try. It's a lot of fun people are missing out on by not getting this despite being on the fence.
Nice review sir ^^, but i have a question, did you spray the matt coat on the clear parts or did you cover those parts when doing it ? Cuz i'm planing to top coat my Darilbalde too
Well, congrats. This kit just shoot into top 3 mercury kit I like 😎 1. Lfrith 2. Aerial 3. Darilbalde And also... Char will like this MS for himself for sure 🙈
I'm sure that the Pharact will knock the Aerial out of that list when it comes out. I'm still surprised after seeing those preview images despite having seen the actual kit on display before.
They did give us a more practical option, bad thing is it's a month away from releasing... That base should've been a thing since the beginning, let's be honest.
Same here, I actually forgot what was the revelation that made me correct it. Then now I heard that the E isn't silent other languages since "balde" is a term in some of them. Welp, English phonetics be damned.
For some reason the kit isn't that popular over here in Hong Kong, but the Darilbalde has gotten the good fight that it deserves, and it went out like a badass
Would Bandai ever acknowledge that those things are a stack of uncapitalized cash? They made new weapons clearly to sell these kits again, yet we're still here waiting for that to happen

This is what happens when Dilanza hits the gym regularly..the glow up is real💀
That and it got taller in the process, someone had a late growth spurt there

Tbh, it feels like he's just emulating TypeV3's style. But regardless, it's not as bad as his 20 min reviews like before.
@@zenozeno234 he is an inspiration yes. I admit, I am a poor emulation, but I want to help everyone in a way that doesn't drag on

I think they just do that for the sake of giving us new colors. Not like it's a bad thing since it matches the colors of the ms

Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad I could deliver
Thanks for reviewing this kit now I know more and appreciate the suit even more
Same here man, I'm glad I could help
Hope to see this one return. The fight it had was awesome. Too bad Aerial's plot armor is too great.... XD

Great review! I already saw one of the JP builders make rocket fists to replace the ones at the back
A lot you can do with those 3mm pegs, get creative

I love the model kits so far, but the story is slowly going downhill for me. Still not gonna stop me enjoying the kits though, they really are fun

when i saw this on the anime i already know that the high grade will be very good
Same here, but I never expected it to be this easy and enjoyable of a pick-up-and-play experience. That and its size truly justified the price
Darilbalde really redeems the Jeturk House to me. It just fixes a lot of my complaints about the Dilanza. Better proportions, better paintjob, ditches the useless gun for more melee.
Fifth-gen Jeturk MSs would probably be based on the Darilbalde, based on the blurb, so I'm sure you'd probably enjoy what they have in store.
Wonder when we’re going to get that extra parts set for the shields and gun
Weapon set in 2024 maybe? Not unless the mystery product is the set, which would be awfully expensive for one if so.
I’m considering getting it and give my Custom Color making my own unit
That is tempting, given how its short screen time already made a big impact.
"Except a gun" Season 2 has got you covered.
Wondering how they will release the upgraded parts of the trio house suits. I hope its a whole new kit as I passed on guel suits but his recent development made me want to get the Darilbalde.

Nice review sir ^^, but i have a question, did you spray the matt coat on the clear parts or did you cover those parts when doing it ? Cuz i'm planing to top coat my Darilbalde too
I removed them with a knife before spraying.
What do you use for top coating? It looks superb and I’ve never seen one that doesn’t have a subtle gloss
Mr Hobby matte topcoat
Well, congrats.
This kit just shoot into top 3 mercury kit I like 😎
1. Lfrith
2. Aerial
3. Darilbalde
And also... Char will like this MS for himself for sure 🙈
I'm sure that the Pharact will knock the Aerial out of that list when it comes out. I'm still surprised after seeing those preview images despite having seen the actual kit on display before.
@@mj2005gundam
But not Lfrith 🙈
He was the best kit I ever seen in Mercury line 😎
0:01 more correct than you realize
Trust me, I know how much people won't mind losing if it's in a manner like that
I wish they include an angle hand so that it can hold the spear in thrust action. I can use the hand from 30 mm sengoku kit but still.
Fair point. I've run into enough poses where I wished there would be one.
Question, what did you hit this kit with to get that finish in the end? It looks amazing
Thank you! I'm glad you found it visually appealing. I hit it with two layers of Mr Hobby matte topcoat, with the clear pieces off of course.
This is better than the pink version.
Yeah, it's way more fun than the Dilanza
This looks a great kit
The Darilbalde definitely looks great
The suit reminds me of a warframe unit, but it still looks cool.
Wait, I play Warframe. Which one does this remind you of?
@@mj2005gundami'm not the same person, but it always reminded me of Rhino so I'm going to assume that's the one they meant haha
Can we say that Darilbalde is one of the best mono-eye kit in Gundam universe?
Not really, as the Darilbalde doesn't count as a monoeye. Still one of the most fun G-Witch kits to date
@@mj2005gundam so..... What kind of type Darilbalde and Dilanza's re?
