Looking cool is an understatement. The real reason the Fereshte modified prototypes use these masks is to hide the fact that they are Gundams. Only the Plutone did not hide its identity because of sentimental value from its dedicated pilot. Speaking of which, these prototype designs are cool, except the Abulhool which seems to be a cheap knockoff of various other transforming Real Robots (especially the Valkyries from Macross that this thing is trying to copy). Regardless, I want the Sadalsuud Type-F as a model kit (Abulhool is also a potential choice).
Im super glad your still doing Gunpla when you can Jabman025. I know some of the struggles you've talked about, and I hope things turn around for the better. Keep on brother.
The Bazooka is from the GN-XIII. If you are missing that weapon off of the GN-XIII MG, you'll need this kit to round out that loadout. As it says in source content that Fon Spaark raided Federation resources to seize those Bazookas. When Celestial Being fell, Chall's team upgraded the Astraea with spare Exia parts into the F2 to better combat the newly formed Federation and its fleet of GN-X units. Thus is the reason why it looks more like Exia, despite being quite there. The F2 is Fon Spaark's for the 2nd half of the 00F manga, before he ditches it for an Innovator's copy of the Astraea that he hijacks at the end of 00F and repaints it in F Colors to do stuff on his own, upon killing off its innovade piloting it. The box art with the full loadout takes place during the events of 00I.
So, missed opportunity on this kit with that mask. They could have routed an led to the head camera and eyes UNDER the clear mask. Oh well, maybe on the inevitable 2.0
You can also just buy the hg which has the exact same loadout down to the leftover Exia weapons due to being based on the Exia HG and has the added benefit of being less than half the price and widely available as a standard release.
I'm glad Bandai made this. But if I had to say something about this, it's a shame they based this on the old MG GN-001 Gundam Exia; an MG that would benefit from an updated release.
New mic is awesome, sounds much better and doesn’t pick up background noise. Happy new year to you and Charlie!
Who is Charlie lol
Just built this with DOT workshop’s Exia metal frame.
Big thumbs up on the audio. Sometimes in the past, you could be a little too quiet, but you're loud and clear here.
happy new year to you and your family also Mr,jabman..glad to see your video again!
You're get some bass rumble and room reverb with the new mic, try EQing everything under 90 hz out.

The microphone was good. Love that you got the review out, and I'm glad you're back at it. Thanks, Jabman and Charlie. Hope you have fun.
Glad to see you uploading again :3
This is definitely one of kits I want, I normally don't care much for 00 kits
Happy New Year to you too ^^

Glad to see you're still doing the gunpla thing. The astrea/type f are definitely in my top 5 favorite gundams of all time.

How do you feel about the Avalanche equipment? Look better on the regular Exia or on the Astraea?
Soo.... which kit gets Master Grade of the Year, the Dom or the Rick Dom? :)

Nice. We need some more reviews from you Jabman… I been a subscriber for a while and remember the frequent uploads.
sorry November was kinda chaotic for me
Whatever reason I can't leave a like.
So I'll leave a comment.
Love the work and happy new year
Pistols look like MG Dynames pistols
it is from the dynames, the missile pod is from kyrios
Would be cool if it came with the rotating LED kit.
Charley's a cute pooch.
