Def. Needs a 2.0 only gundam i know with gatling guns and the forearms, also i think they could get the proportions a bit better and fix a lot of the inner frame
Gundam Alex's production was the Federation first attempt to create a MS that copes with New Type's super reaction speed. However, due to the scarcity of data on New Type's abilities Anaheim Electronics did not have the tech to produce Psycho Frames or rather, the Psychomu Technology to synchronize a New Type pilot to his/her suit. The end result turned out to be that they simply tuned up the machine's reaction time in a mechanical way. Still, the heroine referred Alex as a out-of-control suit.
i like the new add ons you did for this review like the small football thing wit shinning gundam, and you should continue to do the final thoughts like you did at the endof this vid!
For all the 5 people who gave the thumbs-down...I challenge you to reply with an intelligent counter-argument. If I cant out-argue you, I'll send you 5 bucks on paypal. People need to know that NT-1 is the first official attempt to "re-do" RX-78-2 BECAUSE of its outdatedness. Sorry for the threadjacking, and as I've said numerous times, you're the best reviewer hands-down.
Seems like a nice display piece, but it could definitely use a 2.0 upgrade in the future. For that matter, I wonder why Bandai never made a MG Zaku II Kai to go along with this guy... Anyway, great review once again rrobbert! Your endings always make me chuckle... :)
You know, I was reading around some blogs and in one comment soemone mentioned that bluefin said there might be an Alex or GP01 2.0. I'd really like to see an MG Alex 2.0. That or an MG Zaku Kai, since they could very well use the Zaku 2.0 frames.
One of the best UC gundam models proportion-wise, IMO I realize this is an old video, but it bugs me to see that your arm gatlings are missing pieces. Not only are they missing the white caps (plugs the holes in the arm when it's closed) but also the grey linkages that prevent the blue gatling covers from rotating outwards. This is why you were able to pull the covers further towards the shoulders
The Alex looks kinda like its an in between sorta deal for development between the RX-78 and the Nu Gundam. Maybe I'm the only person who thinks that but it looks like its kinda halfway between those two.
@crapmunky99 oh my bad, i think until Bandai officially announce a MG Zaku II Kai (complete with Santa dummy baloons!) that's the closest thing we have to Bernie's unit right now XD
please correct me if i am wrong, but i think the Zeta + Double Zeta stories are a few years after the one year war, and "char's counter attack" is definately after those stories
they should really re-do this, the Gundam Ground type and the Ez-8 in MG 2.0. if bandai did the Gundam Ground type, they would also be able to do the Blue Destiny series with little modification.
one thing i noticed about your Shining Gundam. you always have it displayed with the chest part pressed in. it should be on a small swivel that lets it move in and out.
i had the msia alex and i have to say it was better than this model, but would have like this to be made as a ver. 2.0, also it would be interesting to see a custom GN Alex
@ClUeLeSsPrOdUtIoNs that would be sick hmm maybe they will go with new sleek and sleender praportions that they do now days woth kits in my opinion its aewsome idea
a word for NT1 vs the RX78-2....I'm one of those ppl who grew up with gundams...yet I've never had the urge to buy RX78..I have, however, bought GP01(FB), NT-1, RX-178...basically, even at the age when I started buying gundams (late 80s early 90s) The RX-78 was such an outdated design that compared to what was out afterwards...it looked awful...the only RX78-2 that I was tempted to buy was the VerKa, so if NT1 looked bad, think about RX78-2...It's just had the privilege of a full series...
still coming back to your reviews years later to still get your opinion. Miss you man
I wonder if he knows about the 2.0 MG Alex
Come back robert come back

good news for those watching in 2019, this kit is getting a real grade release along with the nu gundam.
we miss you rrobbert
Are you kidfing?
You guess it wrong it is MG Alex 2.0 and RG Crossbone no RG NU
i like the new add ons you did for this review like the small football thing wit shinning gundam, and you should continue to do the final thoughts like you did at the endof this vid!
the grey armor that some people dunno it is called the "chobham armor" the armor is for extra protection.

"Hey, you wanna go play football?"
"I don't know, I'm more of a rugby guy, maybe go ask Chibodee."

Anyway, great review once again rrobbert!

The rubber was used a lot in the MG Patlabor and the PG Evangelion 01

Great stuff! 0080 War in the Pocket is by far my favourite Gundam OVA, yes its short but I really enjoyed the story.
LoL, Punny ending XD

Great review!!! As always great endings.

yea chars counter attack is in 0093. zeta and double zeta is in 0087-0080
thank you, alex is my favourite gundam!!
can the alex reach and grab its beam saber?
how did you find putting on the leg jets? I ended up having to use plastic glue to make them work on mine.
@crapmunky99 what about Zaku Minelayer?
I really want a HG version of this. I don't think there is one though..
nice review and lining job
one thing i noticed about your Shining Gundam. you always have it displayed with the chest part pressed in. it should be on a small swivel that lets it move in and out.
great review
I always thought the mark II was a downgrade when you looked at alex
i had the msia alex and i have to say it was better than this model, but would have like this to be made as a ver. 2.0, also it would be interesting to see a custom GN Alex
@jocinondemhaterzmen
I don't know; what about it?
In the novel of 0080 war in the pocket bernie supposably lives
@Smellzlikelithium Uhhhh....a HG kit has been out for years.
@ClUeLeSsPrOdUtIoNs that would be sick hmm maybe they will go with new sleek and sleender praportions that they do now days woth kits in my opinion its aewsome idea
hope you didn't throw away the plastic trees...because you are missing couple parts on the forearm.
a word for NT1 vs the RX78-2....I'm one of those ppl who grew up with gundams...yet I've never had the urge to buy RX78..I have, however, bought GP01(FB), NT-1, RX-178...basically, even at the age when I started buying gundams (late 80s early 90s) The RX-78 was such an outdated design that compared to what was out afterwards...it looked awful...the only RX78-2 that I was tempted to buy was the VerKa, so if NT1 looked bad, think about RX78-2...It's just had the privilege of a full series...
Dude i love 0080 WitP its sooo good but i like 0083 stardust best
they need to make alik 2.0
they realy need to fix the joints for posability the arms seem to suck alot
Meh, still liked 8th MS team better. War in the Pocket was a little off beat if you ask me, but I guess thats why some people like it.
@jocinondemhaterzmen
I suppose so.
But yes; no Santa ballons, no deal!
xD
i would buy 4 1 normal 1 silver armor 1 gold armor and 1 armor of the actual gundam colour armor
