As long as Bandai does not entirelyneglect the 1/100 scale and release great quality FM kits like the Aerial (which feels quasi-MG), then I'm fine too.
The fact this comes with a fully transformable Core Fighter, with so much detail, blew me away. I really hope this means we can get an RG ZZ Gundam with this kind of engineering in it
The question is how the legs flip and turn... For such a small size and complex transformations, there's no way they wouldn't slap the pre built Advanced MS Joint for that rite
Granted, they've had practice with making a transformable Core Fighter with the Impulse's Core Splendor (Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that the Splendor is more intricate than the OG Fighter).
I was ready to see how awesome this new RG RX-78-2 is, but mecha showing he can turn from a dog to a human at the beginning was something I was not prepared for.
The RG Freedom Gundam already has a 1.5 technically speaking at least. Sure it still uses some of the old parts but it basically is still changed A LOT.
I'd love to see this compared to the PGU. Both of these kits have been revolutionary to their designated lines, and i'd love to see how both have been able to change Gunpla in their own ways.
I just finished building this over Christmas. Man - what an awesome experience! It was just my second Gunpla ever (HG Deathscythe was the first) and boy how I loved every moment of the build. I was actually sad when the last piece of armor clicked in place.
Yo if this is a sign for where the future of gunpla is going my wallet is gonna hurt. I've always wanted more affordable models that have a detailed skeleton...
After building quite a few MGs, I have come to really love inner frames. So this gets me all excited. I hope to see this kind of detail on future kits' inner frames.
As a person who builds gunpla and a fan of Gundam, mostly UC stuff, for about 5 years, I think it's time for me to own Grandaddy Gundam and this new RG is a good one to have. I love the redesign on the Rx-78-2 and the details too
Something that I just thought about that could be really neat, is alternate battle damaged armor pieces. Have some armor parts cracked and deformed, some armor parts with open bullet holes to reveal inner frame detail, beam saber slashes or explosion streaks, etc. I think I'd pay extra every now and then for a + version of a big ticket kit that comes with all the regular armor parts, but then also a few extra trees with a bunch of alternate battle damaged armor parts. That would be so fun to paint up too
so for some of the joints they basically removed the traditional pegs into hole type of connection. this drastically reduces the amount of parts needed. however unlike c-clips they wont get stressed out easily and benefits from added friction when the side walls rub against each other, making the joints stiffer
The Japan economy is currently in the shitter, so I'm not surprised they're prioritizing developing smaller kits over larger ones. Smaller = less plastic = easier to produce and turn profit. Frankly I'm just glad they aren't in the middle of a new longform anime so they can't make new, tinier 1/144 model kits like they did with the F91 and the Victory kits.
True, but at this point, I think Bandai is trying to bring innovation for every grade, I feel like standard MGs have already gotten as good as it can be, that’s why we’ve only gotten Ver.Ka and MGEX releases lately as they’re the only MG releases that continue to push the envelope of what that grade is capable of, but idk I could be wrong
*MG 1/100 and PG 1/60 already dead a long time ago anyway with the current era prefer smaller and details kits with affortable range price and easy to mass produce in short time* 💹
Have you not seen the MGEX models? That seems like a lot of love to me. Also since 2020 there have been more retail MG releases (13) vs retail RG releases (9). The MG Narrative was also just four months ago.
@@jarik7658 years back you would get a mg nearly every month or two. Now their 1/100 releases are either very ka, rehashes, p bandai, or mgex. The days of the regular ol mg kit are pretty much over
If you leave the head cameras clear and shine light through it from the back, you can actually see that the clear plaatic has that nice detail you see on the sticker
Man, the hype for this one is real. I can't wait to have and build one. I'm just waiting for the prices to go down as this is not yet available locally.
i cannot wait to get mine in the mail, this looks awesome. RG has surpassed MG. its easier to display/shelve, takes up less space, is perfewct for older gunpla builders who dont have room for giant display cases but want to build gunpla.
I've worked with AutoCAD before and honestly, this kind of engineering and design for inner frames on a model kit is insane. Idk what's holding Bandai back from making an RG/MG Atlas Gundam though
Some people say that the vulcans on the rg 2.0 are a bit out of place, making the head look a bit weird and the vulcans peek out half way, some people get around this by making small adjustments to make them gee out all the way to look better
I thought this was gonna be mid as hell just because it was a 1/144th scale RX-78-2 kit but I was immediately proven wrong in a heartbeat… I REALLY hope that they give this quality to other RG’s in the future or at the very least.. other RG 2.0s and this isn’t just special treatment for the OG because OH MY GOD!
This really makes me hope for a crossbone x3 RG and possibly a MUCH deserved full cloth RG. Currently there is NO full cloth kit representing the UC full cloth that isn't either an old impossible to find pbandai (hguc), a HUGE hand grenade (MG), isn't the UC version (hgbf) or doesn't need A LOT of color correction (actually all of them). I feel like bandai's black magic has finally reached a technical level where a decent full cloth can finally be achieved.
I really hope they release a version of this where the colored parts are in clear plastic, so you can still show off the inner frame once it's all put together.
Okay, who tried to bestow the Sharingan onto a Gundam, and why wasn't it Deathscythe-Hell or God Gundam or Exia!? This kit looks absolutely sick. And I fully expect a pearlescent finish (whether they call it metallic or whatever) repaint to come sooner rather than later; gotta milk the mold for all it's worth, after all. And despite how many parts it seems to have, it looks like it's a way simpler build than even the likes of RG Exia...😮😮😮😮😮😮 And the V-fin is basically attached to the baseball cap visor? Nice!!
You just KNOW it's an even among events when MechaGaikotsu makes 3 videos about a single kit. Fuccing 3 videos on the one single kit just to let it flex about the inner frame, and you see the videos in themselves got some additional love as well.
RG is my all time favorite line. So excited to get this is in. Now that the granddaddy looks like this, they could give us the Thunderbolt next! As for 2.0s we need the Sinanju and Zeta!
your fav line seriously? 😰 most of them are bad in design and *only a few worth buying* 😣 Bad RG 👎 Gundam Gundam MK2 Zaku II (any variations) Zeta Strike (any variations) Freedom (any variations) Justice Destiny Impulse (any variations) Zephyranthes Full Bunern Exia (any variations) 00 (any variations) Sinanju Full Armor Unicorn (heavy backpack weapons unit)
the only thing I want to die happy is a Sinanju 2.0 also, while it's total a shot in the dark, I do wonder if it's able to use the broken RX78 arm/head parts that were included with the RG Zeong somehow
they way you built it looks like the PG Unleashed. Bandai now needs to create a RG Kshatriya (the disrespect to builders to not having it already created in MG, PG or RG)
Hi new bocil to gunpla world 👋 RG Gunpla already exist since 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣0️⃣ but not all of them are great 👎 some of them are very experimental at the begging to reused same bad inner frame now and then cuz Bandai are lazy to produce a better quality when fans already pointed out the bad side of their products 🙊🙉🙈 for RG gunpla worth buying seek out for *Skygrasper, Astray, Tallgeese, Sazabi, Nu Gundam, Zeong, Hi-nu Gundam, God, Epyon* and *Gundam 2.0* for none Premium Bandai kits there also Premium Bandai kits and Gundam Base Limited kits which they sold at very less quantity and more pricey (they also came with *clear color* version, *metallic coating* edition, *recolor* kits, straight up Pbandai on release or sold *add-on parts* separately) -enjoy experiencing gunpla kiddo 😂
In the grand scheme of Gunpla history (45ish years), RG is a relatively new line. Prior to RG, you had MG and HG (1/100 and 1/144 scale respectively). HG is smaller and thus more affordable but lacked the detail of MG kits which feature an inner frame that you layer the armor on top of. But because HG is smaller and lighter, the plastic is under less stess when posing and takes longer to be affected by gravity thereby making it more stable; particularly over time. One other risidual benefit of smaller scale is that as your collection grows, it takes up less shelf space when compared to larger scale. I have no proof to the following claim but I suspect that smaller scale has slowly, gradually become more favorable to hobbyists for the aforementioned reasons. So as @myhonestopinion3334 states, RG comes along in 2010 with the goal of bringing the inner frame and detail of the MG line to a smaller scale. It succeeded in doing so but to what extent is arguable at best; especially with their earlier entries which had spindly inner frames which could succumb to the same issues as MG kits. Later RG kits would have pseudo-innerframes where it sort of looks like an inner frame and the armor pieces would layer on top but they would do so with fairly shallow connections meaning that smaller pieces could be fiddly and fairly-easily fall off. Now, I haven't built this 2.0 but just watching this video and judging the build alongside past experience, it's obvious to me that this is essentially the RG line truly and fully meeting it's intended goal. Not only do you have a fully independent inner frame that is engineered to withstand the weight of the armor and posing, but you have engineering that makes it impossible for the armor pieces to fall off (assuming the structure of the engineering remains intact). "No falling V-fin" may sound like just a throwaway line to those new or unfamiliar to the hobby but what Mecha is referencing is an occurance that every builder has experienced since the dawn of gunpla. You have to understand that this describes what I thought was an inherent unsolvable problem with how kits are made--a limitation of injection molding at large. So to see them "solve" this problem holds massive implications not only about the improvements in injection molding but also illustrates that there are people at Bandai who are thinking about our hobby in ways that nobody has in decades. Tl;dr RG is relatively new to gunpla overall, this 2.0 is truly cutting edge and pretty much shakes the foundation of what builders thought was possible in the hobby
Early Real Grades be like: > Made pre built inner frame (Advanced MS Joint) > Is polycap-like material > Loosen and breaks overtime > Not selling as well > Bandai: *Surprised Pikachu face*
Would love to see the Zeta Gundam get a 2.0 upgrade because I keep seeing way to many copies' joints and parts either falling apart or breaking while transformation, especially the inner frame. Including others that didn't last long after being built. ( Not saying that they WILL, but would be cool to see them upgraded one day.)
I wanna see a comparison between the old RG core fighter and new one, it should be the line of how technology improvement has done to it. And also, if it can, can you swap the head between the two? I felt like it's head is kinda small so if the old head is bigger we might get the most badass looking RG grand-daddy
the current trend is still hyping about Seed Freedom kits so no uc gunpla for now 🤭 next in line are RG Oowashi Akatsuki, RG Shiranui Strikerpacks, RG Blast Impulse Spec II, and maybe RG Destiny Spec II + Zeus Silhouette
Gundam 2.0 body waist are pretty loose when posing bcs of the Core Block transformation gimmick 🙊🙉🙈 other than that they're great and worth replace the outdated Gundam 1.0 🚮
Can you use the core block from the original RG to replace the core fighter in this one? My hope is that they make a 2.0 of the RG Aile Strike. Since they're making an RG Akatsuki as well, ideally they'd make a new frame for it that would be reuseable on a 2.0 of the Strike
![Ranking every single retail RG Gunpla - RG 01-41 tier list - [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IkAQ86t9Qjk/mqdefault.jpg)
Now that RGs can get 2.0s, Bandai is going to ignore the MG line even harder.
As unfortunate as that is, personally it doesn’t bother me that much. RG is my favorite line
As long as Bandai does not entirelyneglect the 1/100 scale and release great quality FM kits like the Aerial (which feels quasi-MG), then I'm fine too.
I hope not, my uncle is getting old and he cant do small parts no more, he sticks with mg’s now
I'd say it's because there's just not enough shelf space for big kits
but they keep making big ass HG kits
It'll be ok
The fact this comes with a fully transformable Core Fighter, with so much detail, blew me away. I really hope this means we can get an RG ZZ Gundam with this kind of engineering in it
Bandai is tapping into the Newtype crack for this one
@@kevintang2605💀
if there's a rg ZZ, it will be less detailed than this rx 78. The best case scenario is bandai making a structurally simplified 1/144 zz verka.
The question is how the legs flip and turn... For such a small size and complex transformations, there's no way they wouldn't slap the pre built Advanced MS Joint for that rite
Granted, they've had practice with making a transformable Core Fighter with the Impulse's Core Splendor (Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that the Splendor is more intricate than the OG Fighter).

Who cares about the real grade give us the link to the site where we can learn to be shape shifting druids!!!
I really hope all those RG kits with ERGS get 2.0 treatment.
Exactly what i was thinking.
Probably zaku II is next if they do continue this
hoping ang praying this does happen
The RG Freedom Gundam already has a 1.5 technically speaking at least. Sure it still uses some of the old parts but it basically is still changed A LOT.
I'd kill for an -Avalanche- Exia update
I hope that the Zaku gets an RG 2.0 soon
I hope Char's comes first
knowing bandai love milking the shit out of RX-78-2, it wont happen

You had me at "no falling off V-fin EVER" 😍
I'd love to see this compared to the PGU. Both of these kits have been revolutionary to their designated lines, and i'd love to see how both have been able to change Gunpla in their own ways.
It’s literally a mini perfect grade but affordable
A scaled down PGU grandaddy arguably
@stormgalaxypegasus exactly my point, if we hadn't had the PGU, this kit wouldn't have existed imo
What’s the expensive mini pg?
I just finished building this over Christmas. Man - what an awesome experience! It was just my second Gunpla ever (HG Deathscythe was the first) and boy how I loved every moment of the build. I was actually sad when the last piece of armor clicked in place.
I definitely going to hunt this RG soon! I think it’s amongst the best RG I’ve ever seen! And I’ve built HI-NU and G GUNDAM!
Hundreds of pieces and decades of engineering into this little master piece.
Yo if this is a sign for where the future of gunpla is going my wallet is gonna hurt. I've always wanted more affordable models that have a detailed skeleton...
Or a sign for you to manage your finances better
It is a sign for you to work hard and earn more money.. Or leave this stupid addiction for good

I entered the hobby this year and have been looking for which version of this gundam to build. I think this will be the one!
Funny how I can physically sense the RG Hi-Nu sweating in the background
No joke, though, an RG Nu 2.0 would be kinda amazing, especially if they figured out a way to get the funnels to be even more stable.

Watch the top kit for this year finally be an RX-78-2 variant
Ya know? Why not give 1/100 kids the same amount of love, since theyre basically unheard of at this point. Mg needs a comeback

Amazing kit!! Great build/review!

Man, the hype for this one is real. I can't wait to have and build one. I'm just waiting for the prices to go down as this is not yet available locally.

I kinda wanna see you do more videos like this and where people could ask questions for the review
I'm ready for this one. Cant wait, thanks for the review, as always.
been waiting for mecha to drop this
Besides of the great kit, your videos are very good to watch
If Bandai is able to do this then they should be able to possibly make RG Ibo kits or hell even HG Ibo revives. I need an Rg Barbie or Vidar
This is so absurdly detailed I love it... But my bank account is screaming help
Usually RG Gundam kits give you frames,but this time you got to build it yourself
even better right 😋

Can you use the core block from the original RG to replace the core fighter in this one?
My hope is that they make a 2.0 of the RG Aile Strike. Since they're making an RG Akatsuki as well, ideally they'd make a new frame for it that would be reuseable on a 2.0 of the Strike
Im glad i already pre order this
im still waiting for mine to arrive and now i cant wait
Since Bandai did a RG RX-78-2 2.0, now time to wait for RG Char's Zaku II 2.0
still holding off for my first RG, will only get better from here on out
I'm very sure that just one leg has more pieces than a full SD kit
They should definitely make a rg shinanju 2.0
LOL I heard CHAU in my head when Mecha was listing the colors for the inner frame 😅
is the 'blerb' about 'advance ms joint' still written on the box?
Always love seeing Monkey in the vids
