I'm excited to get to it, but I've been laid an ultimatum regarding packing for immigration, and it needs a repaint, so I'll take things at my own pace while aiming to get the video out ASAP
If something breaks, you should show it next time and mention how it happened. Would be a good heads up when building this. Wish I got a heads up when straight into building the MG Barbatos + Expansion parts. The clip and armor on the 6th form heels stymied its stability and limited it to mostly just standing poses.
I admit, I should've been clearer with how it broke, be it showing or telling. Hope the head's up will help people though. Also, the HG Lfrith has gates to remove its bits, backpack, and loadout, so we will probably see the PP Type made into a kit eventually
It's about time the X-Bits from After War got a kit! I mean... I really dig the design of this mobile doll... I mean bit. Seriously, though, the design is genuinely awesome.
Now that makes 2 amazing WFM designs i love. This and the zowort are just the best. Im so excited for this. Man im definitely removing those front/side skirts.
great short review! i love this kit especially due to the fact that it can store weapons on its shield, while the rifle can also be stored on its legs. and of course, i'll take any HGs with sliding armor gimmick.
This, more than the Ur, really shows the design philosophy from 00, ironically, this mass produced drone is one of the best designs from TWFM in general, easily the best looking out of all designs derived from the lfrit.
The Gundvolva feels more like an in-between for original and 00 design concepts, as to me, I can feel the familiarity, but never pin-point as to which exact design. Moreover, it is the DoF Lfrith variant that is aesthetically closest to its roots. Topped off with the kit's versatility, it can easily be one's favorite Gundam design from G-Witch
This is an amazing idea. A simple design being a gun-bit. Now imagine how these things would be in a Build Series format? What is it gonna be armed with? The EXAM system?
Aside from the customization aspects, my favorite part of the Gundvölva is the YELLOW SENSORS. We need more Gundams with yellow sensors instead of green lol
We shall see of the Valvrave-looking GUND-BIT is as impressive as this, considering the mystery product is one of, if not, the most expensive HG G-Witch kit to date
for second glance, that shoulder kinda look like strike shoulder armor. even the chest design have a bit of that strike design-ish. I probably custom this to become a strike gundam.
@@grasshopper3995 I can only say Ferrari, because it actually exists in the franchise. But if I have to say, it'd be still down to the top speed demon companies like Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Rimac, Hennessey and the like to duke it out on top
I love this unmanned ms. But I hate that ankle/heel/foot. I don't really have good experience with that kind of feet since IBO. Unless it is similar to Reborns or Reversible. This might be my first WfM kit if it gets released here in my area
Don't worry Dyno, basically everyone hates the heels because the pegs are too tight for their own good. However, a simple application of sanding will do you wonders here
Well, apart from the ankle issue that is apparently universal now, as more and more cases pop up of that being too tight for its own good. Best G-Witch kit is still either the Lfrith or the Darilbalde to me
The detail allows you to paint the shell unit whatever color you want. However, with the sculpting of the Gundvölva, painting just with markers without a mess is a bit tough. I'd recommend going in there with paint brushes instead. Though, if you just went all over with a marker then panel lined the gaps and surrounding edges afterwards, it should still work
Ho ho.... Finally Lfrith have a match as the best WoM line kit.... The only minus it's having no sculpture transparen permen score like Lfrith do, and nub mark that not easily to remove cause the colour choice 👀
Well, I didn't expect it to have in-mold parts, but at least you can paint them in whatever color you want thanks to the molded detail. But it is indeed upholding the standards of the HG Lfrith apart from the red flag in the build
@@zakhaevshub4735 the camera often lightens the subjects against a dark background, so that's probably why. I've done some cross comparing, and trust me, the kit looks spot on IRL. On the other hand, it could be my white balance settings that changed things
@@mj2005gundam honestly your video & lighting looks okay, but kinda unfortunate the model color is...a bir different than the lineart (because the applies to some of WFM kits too)
Still, not as small as an SMG. As far as I know, a carbine is a burst rifle that is visually similar to a machine gun, but no way is it that short, unless I'm ignorant to the fact.

Neat review. I always appreciate moving knee armor especially in hg, i would love to see more of it in future bandai kits....
When applicable, but when they implemented it into the kit with simple means, it's all the more admirable
the customization potential is amazing
Absolutely
As an engineering student im impressed. Its just as well designed as the dagger l and 30 minute missions kits and better in some aspects
Had the ankle pegs been a bit looser, then it'd be perfect
If something breaks, you should show it next time and mention how it happened. Would be a good heads up when building this. Wish I got a heads up when straight into building the MG Barbatos + Expansion parts. The clip and armor on the 6th form heels stymied its stability and limited it to mostly just standing poses.

@@PaszerDye Bandai: Oh God yes!
Thank you for bringing up the tight heels! I saw someone shaving down the heel peg and couldnt figure out why since it was in Japanese, lol
I'm glad I could help people prevent breaking the heel
I'm still avoiding the Gundvölva at first but since I had a sanding tool, then why not give it a try..
we've been waiting for a "gundam trooper" style kit for a while, and this fits the bill quite nicely
Oh god, time to paint it in Stormtrooper colors
Ive been looking forward to this one more than any of them. I absolutely love this design amd plan on buying 2 to make some customs.
This is definitely a fun kit to build and customize. Hope you have fun making your original variant!
This kit wants me to add more if I have a chance..
I'm glad that you bought two of these...
It was kinda a by product of me wanting to repair it as soon as possible, but it'd be quite the presence on the shelf
I see... since its a perfect kit for an army build...
It's about time the X-Bits from After War got a kit! I mean... I really dig the design of this mobile doll... I mean bit. Seriously, though, the design is genuinely awesome.
The design is like the template for custom builds. And yeah, it's about time remote controlled MSs entered the spotlight again
Now that makes 2 amazing WFM designs i love. This and the zowort are just the best. Im so excited for this. Man im definitely removing those front/side skirts.
In terms of mass-produced units, this and the Zowort are definitely the most versatile. Just mind the heels

Simple, effective, and has some hidden quirks like turning the dummy mags into real ones. Thank you for popping by, I'm glad you like it

Obligatory AWGX reference
As someone who loves gundam x unconditionally, I approve of that reference you did!

@@mj2005gundam Yeh thats true…wish Bandai brought those back
i really want this kit but then suddenly i saw pharact with his new double riffle 👀
Glad you spotted that

Also darilbalde repair and michaelis lance when bandai???
The guns are from a 3D printer file that I plan to cover soon

Yellow, blue, pink. Yea, we need more of these
The kit that really wants to be picked by the teacher

I really like the chest design because it doesn't have pokemon face on it
It does have quite the pattern for its Shell Units, I'll give it that
Simple yet solid
I like this one
Simple, solid, and really playable and customizable
This kit is begging to be painted in RX-78-2 and RX-78-3 colors
It being in primer colors begs custom builders to make it unique, which is nice
@@mj2005gundam I agree
Im waiting for the next secret HG to be revealed
Same, i think many forgot it was there, but I didn’t
Let's be honest, it's probably the Gundnode
@@mj2005gundam Most probably. Im just hoping it has vibrant colours instead of basic muted out grunt colours
Now we just have to see if Prosparas Mobile Bit can match it. (I am 95% sure that's the unnamed HG coming out later this year.)

can we use the metallic red marker instead of stickers?

It's the great work of one in the Gunpla community that made it possible

The Gundam shwarzette should be release with Gundvolva but they did not well I've been waiting on the review of your nu zeon Gundam.
They delayed it for lore reasons. Thankfully, my person is still in Hong Kong in July.
The HG Nu-Zeon Gundam review is scheduled for a future upload
@@mj2005gundam the shwarzette and lfrit jiu will be release at the same time next month.
How envy, need to wait for (around) 4 months to get this kit, hahaha.
The anticipation is palpable. Hope you get yours soon
Does the kit has noticeable mold line?
Not really no
i saw that the pharact has the two new beam rifle? is that custom made?
Those are 3D printed and custom painted
@@mj2005gundam would love to see other equiipemrn built fo the gunpla, like the big shoulder shield for the darlinbade , or Michelas lance shield
While it IS tempting to buy around 5-6 of this...
I'm good with buying 3 copies ahehehehe.
Well, it's tempting to get 6 because the show has 6
I really want to see someone painting then with grandaddy colors... like an futuristic/G-Witch version of grandaddy
That'd be awesome!
I hope this kit can use 30mm air fighter and option set 9
They should be compatible if I'm not mistaken
Here’s a quick question how many of these do you exactly
I have two of these actually, though I can have as many as I want on a photo
Is that pharact weapons 3d print?
Yes, and I just made a video on it like a day ago
