      Fun fact - the creator of the show Tomino Yoshiyuki originally wanted the Gundam to be a single monotone colour as well - in either all white or all grey, so that it looks more like a piece of military equipment, but the sponsors (who make the toys) rejected that idea because the sponsors intended the show to be targeted at 7 year olds and from their own sales data they know their target audience wants bright colours on their giant robots, so as a compromise Tomino asked the mechanical designer of the show to put in the blue red and yellow highlights, but still kept a lot of the machine white like the limbs, waist and head. Tomino never gave up on the monotone idea though, so in his novelisation of the show the protagonist upgrades his original Gundam (which is technically the G-2) to the G-3 varient in the later half of the story - which only has internal upgrades but externally looks the same - but spots an entirely grey paint job. So Jayz actually unknowingly re-created the G-3 Gundam.

    Gunpla is usually designed to be simple and intuitive so everyone can enjoy building them even though they're not model kit veterans. But the true beauty of the hobby comes in customization. You can buy metal parts for your kit. You can make your own custom parts. You can kitbash and create your own details. And gunpla encourages people to do just that.

  • @AegisRick
    @AegisRick 4 роки тому +543

    I mean, I'm not going to try and act like Gunpla is ever going to be on the level of difficulty on that Yamato model, but I should correct you on a few things. The MG (Master Grade 1/100 Scale) you got is in no way worth 200 bucks. MG's are about 35 to 70. That pricepoint is more in line with PG's (Perfect grade 1/60 Scale) that have just as many runners as your Yamato with the more expensive ones also including LED kits. Yes the RG (Real Grade 1/144 Scale) kits you talked about are smaller scale with more intricate parts, but I should mention they tend to simplify the real hard parts like the inner frame and hands so they aren't as fun to build and customize like a PG is. PG is definitely worth the experience, but overall I like MG's as a good balance.

    "This is so easy [...] I already broke a piece" what?? lol Gunpla is meant to be easy because they go for mass appeal. The kit you built is roughly $50 - so you could buy 6 for the price of your Yamato and make a nice diorama/scene. I agree ships are waaay more time consuming, but I wouldnt say much more difficult besides the glue. I personally like to use glue as little as possible on all kits. I actually painted my RX-78 OYW version because I didnt like the pale colors and got them closer to the bright anime colors.

      On real warfare the suits would follow colours based entirely on the environment used and that would lead to very little veariety, on shows and fiction in general is a understandable compromise to choose colorful suits to add variety and even personality.
      Using a suit of the same line of production but in a different colour would make you a primary target, if the show was 100% realistcic would be boring, is just realistic enough and is fine as it is.

    You’re comparing a $50 mid range Master Grade Gundam kit to a $200 Yamato. A Perfect Grade is a much more fair comparison, Adam Savage had his mind blown by one of those.
    There’s also a lot of variety in gundam Mobile suit designs than what it looks like on the surface.
    Don’t like the classic white, blue, red, and yellow colors? Get a model of a suit not used by the main character
    Prefer something wildly different to the classic gundam look? Some of the antagonist suits are nuts like the Sazabi, Nightingale, and The O
    Prefer a more realistic utilitarian mecha and not something that looks like a toy? Get a grunt suit like the Jesta, Jegan, and Geara Doga. Even the aforementioned antagonist suits above fit the bill.
    Don’t like the level of detail? Go with an MG Ver Ka. Or Perfect Grade kit. Or scratchbuild and kitbash. GBWC is a great showcase of what’s possible.
    Jay, I respect you. But you seem pretty closed minded in this video.

  • @hyakushiki4406

    honestly tho, it's nice to hear from an outsider perspective on gundam kits. the whole snap fit thing is really their selling point. and the fact that there is no need to paint them straight out of the box, for the most part, really draw in beginners and casuals alike. even for the high difficulty kits like the perfect grade line, so long as you follow the manual carefully, you can build them straight out of the box. then its up to you to leave it like that or improve upon what was given to you.
    and to quote the anime "Gunpla is freedom."

      I know this is 5 months late, but if you wanna try building gunpla, go for it. It's fun as hell to just build them and pose them, but because they're all snap-together it opens up for doing things with them later. I've put together several kits only to go back later and clean them up better after learning some things. And they are way easier than real world military replica kits like planes and tanks and such, I personally won't touch those because I have the hobby fears that I'll ruin them and get really frustrated.
      Just grab a HG 1/144 kit for about $25 (or less in many cases) and give it a go. Those are great entry level and the newer ones are even quite detailed for the size and price, especially if you go for one from the Origin series. I really like the amount of detail they have compared to kits of the same design from the past, much more grounded. Master grades are a good step up from there, Real grades seem to be hit and miss so if you want to try those really do some research to see what others are saying about them. I've yet to throw money at perfect grade, but I'll be excited to finally do so as they look a ton of fun and from what I've gathered look pretty amazing out of the box.
      Anyway, sorry for the long windedness lol.

Can't wait to actually smooth it out and paint it. Now I also have a 1/100 Tallgeese that arrived for my bday that I have to get to.

    I’ve amassed about 350 gundam kits, all the real grade, perfect grade and most of the master grade. I think you’d really enjoy the challenge of the perfect grade, and you can get photo etch parts as well as metal components to really detail them up as well. The parts are not as fiddly as the yamato, but there are an awful lot of them! I got into it just because I remembered all the cartoons from my youth...and I needed a hobby!

    MG (Master Grade) 1/100
    PG (Perfect Grade) 1/60

      A PG is not really hard as a kit tho if it's from bandai because everything is made to fit granted that you are following the instructions and not having a defective mold (which is really rare). The thing that can make gunpla hard is with the resin kits and especially the mechanicore/elyn/gsystem kits which is basically similar to his yamato that has photo etch, LED, a fucking ton of parts, and a really hard to understand instruction with a subpar quality fitting.

    So I think the sell point of Gunpla is that they're decently easy to put up and looks pretty cool at the same time. I think that is a good thing to be honest, as I personally don't think I would have the patience to play with a lot of glue. So I am not really insulted by the comment. It's also why the company that makes them creates animes that specifically target younger kids. With that said, I think the thing with any model kit is that it can be as hard as you want it to be. There is still a lot of things that you can do after a base assembly.

  • @Freedbot
    @Freedbot 4 роки тому +29

    Watching at the start.. Cool Jay, I highly recommend gundam kits for model hobbyists. First point: I don't care about the anime, and you don't need to care to enjoy these. They have genius design and range from stupid easy $12 high grade to $250 monster project Perfect Grade. They're like fun puzzles or lego sets that leave you with an art piece when you're done. You've got a noteably easy (and a bit loose) Master Grade that's $42 on Amazon right now (your link doesn't work for me btw). I'm not big on painting, but I put a lot of care into cleaning nubs off and getting the stickers right. Some people who paint also completely change the anime colors to military metal schemes. Nothing sacrilegious about it and it looks badass.
    Mid way... no harm, some kits come out solid as a rock, some kits explode it your hands. Reviews cover which is which pretty well. The solid connections do NOT come back apart unless you angle cut the pegs first. No one ever claimed master grade is a hard kit. Grade means quality not difficulty. Master Grade translates to "fairly detailed kit with some gimmicks".
    End... I don't normally get annoyed when people talk crap about Gundams, especially when they do hard models. To each their own,.... but you complain about all Gundams just because the $40 kit doesn't stack up against your $250 kit... No sh!t. Dude, do like 5 seconds of research on things before you post about it. You know you have this problem.
    There are so many different models and color schemes you can get and paint however you want, who cares if you don't like the colors on that particular kit..... Anyway, I like metallic color schemes and the wearing looks great, but you left him looking so monochromatic like he skipped paint day at the factory. Tip: Put glue on the loose joint to thicken it, let dry and then reattach it to make it stay without losing mobility.
    I'm glad you had fun Jay and I hope you don't write them off. You did a good professional job putting him together too, which I didn't expect.
    I'm sure a Perfect Grade MS-06F Zaku II with it's more German military style and green color scheme for $125 would be a much better choice for Jay. Though it's a bit older so it's got a loose bit here and there too. Astray Red Frame 1/60 Perfect Grade is a very new kit praised for being solid, but I know Jay won't like how it looks.

      Perfect grade would be much better.. ofc it doesnt have dirt on Tamiya's battleship siries (like if there anything more challenging then that?)..
      but it does give a bit more challenge then MG

    Usually I like this guys videos, and was genuinely excited to see his experience building his first gunpla, but (honestly) the video leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and (at times) comes across as a little condescending.
    I think your friend who gifted you the kit gave you the wrong impressions.
    Bandai gunpla kits aren't meant to be "difficult" or "hard" and are meant to be more approachable. (not just for those getting into the model making hobby) Just as you said; Just takes time to build.
    I think if your friend didn't give you that misinformation (which feels like what anyone who's never built a gunpla kit would say) your viewpoint/comparison (and the overall tone of the video) would be a lot better.

    I very much enjoy watching you build things. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this.
