@Adiwafiy Elfian dude, Tallgeese II is pilot by Treize, and Treize with the OZ minion only wants to protect the earth from White Fang Zech. Didn't you watch the whole Gundam Wing series?
I would be happy if they reworked this kits in a "A wakening of the trailblazer" HG way instead of just recicling the old clunky HG Exia Handgrenade. Even the HG 00 still today feels as an awesome HG kit.
The plot might be underwhelming or even unoriginal on the character development but the fights are undoubtedly top-notch masterpieces that also has sick soundtracks
The HG Exia Dark Matter was my true entry into Gunpla, and kitbashing. Even though I’ve bought/build plenty of Gunpla prior. The HG Exia Dark Matter is where I truly began my Gunpla obsession/career
a cheap glass file from the drug store only lasted me through two MGs (big ones tho, sinanju and stein) before it got uneven/smoothed. I have had the GP razor for almost a year, and have used it on every grade (EG, HG, RG, MG, and even a PG kit) and it still hasn't smoothed out yet. the immediate quality is very similar but overtime a file with better glass/etching will last longer.
Build fighters was my first gundam season. It made me fall in love with gunpla. I had tried gunpla before, but I never got anywhere. This set is so cool.
I recently learned of the power of the original opening power with Black Clover. When that song began to play in the Season Finale Fight, DAAAAM!!! Hype aside, this is the most EDGE LORD GUNDAM I’ve ever seen!! Really like it!!
"Nope. They've exhausted all three of those already." Me: Then what is it?? What can even be more powerful than than those three? "They tapped into the power of the original opening theme." Me: ooooooh 😂😂
Eh, I disagree, the Fenice vs. Star Build Strike was a better battle for me. The Master vs. Pupil aspect was more appealing, and it ended in a satisfying draw with both of their Gunpla getting wrecked, rather than have a cop-out victory for Sei and Reiji. Runner up fight for me would be Meijin III vs. Julian. It was nice to see a crack in Meijin's persona, in that for the first time, he was afraid he couldn't win against the one person he's never beaten until now.
That episode... I watch it more than 6 times already. Manliest fight in all of 4 Build series, imo. The draw as the match result and what the three did after the match makes it even better. They resumed fixing their gunplas together like nothing happened. 😊
And when Ricardo was flashing back to his long history with the increasingly totalled Wing Fenice, only to ask his friend if it had just one more push left in it... and its eyes lit up. Gets me every time.
0:20 I have a rebuttal to that claim. BULL. SHIGHT. There are several fights in the build series that are just as good if not better than this one. The main problem with this fight is that the majority of the difficulty of the fight is almost entirely due to Chairman Mashita rigging the fight Mind controlling Yuuki Turning the Exia into the Dark Matter Adding other fighter's techniques Changing the field Increasing the embody output as the fight dragged on. Etc. Meanwhile the fight with the Wing Gundam Fenice is just better cuz it's both people giving it their all in an honest duel between mentor and mentee.
When I heard your presentation for manscape. I love it. It makes me laugh my a** off. And makes me hyped. But since I don't have balls I'll just have to settle on trimming my fairway🤣
I’ve been building gunpla for years and how is this the first time I’ve heard of glass files. Are they really that good and that easy? Anyone have any recommendations?
Gunprimer and Dspiae imo. But if you just wanna try it out you can just grab a glassfile from a drugstore. To clean them just pour some running water on them then dry them.
I love the Exia to death, but it sure has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to both HG and MG kits. Even the RG has it's shortcomings, though out of the three it is the best. I'll never buy another Exia unless it's the PG, because every single other model of it has let me down so much. Here's hoping that the upcoming Virtue MG box has an Exia easter egg on it like the other suits have had for each other.
Me too . The villain MS designs are always so good but their kits are really terrible but the sculpting are still on point and accurate that brings that great appearance into life
@@Cieln0va nah, I love it too. I just acknowledge its failings because people get mad if I say I like it lol. It is true, though - while I love it with all my heart, it’s simply the worst of my four (so far) Master Grades. Everything else is just so much sturdier.
10:30 That is there because of the 2 massive swords that store on the hips (So outwards movement of the legs being balljoints is justified in this case)
I had similar issues with that chest/shoulder armor always falling out when moving the arms. The other issue I have seen with the HG Exia variants is that the rifle never wants to sit in the hand nicely. The swords also don't want to stay on the hips since they are just barely holding on with pressure. It still looks awesome thou (doubt I will ever get the MG version) even with all the issues.
Speaking of that anime trope... I agree. In Shaman King 2021, episode 5, Yoh Asakura DID tap into the power of the original opening theme when he fought against Silva. Ehehehehe.
Definitely still waiting for that HG Revive Exia. Even the RG Exia failed to impress especially on the articulation side, which to me is an injustice considering the kind of mecha the Exia is.
I only have the amazing exia but i did get the Dark Matter exia booster seperate to make a custom. I put it on the back of a Palerider and dear god is it terrifying.
The Build Fighters series was really awesome haha. When I first started building in 2018 I saw the Build Fighters kits and was not into the gunpla at all and stuck with IBO and 00. Than I decided to actually watch the show recently and am now mad I didn't get into the Build Fighters kits when they were more readily available haha.
The Gunprimer Raser is pricey, but for what it does I consider it worth it for me. It removes nubs near perfectly (depending on the plastic), cleans clear parts perfectly, and makes OOB builds much faster and helps me get to customizing much faster
First built it then was not great because I was new to gunpla. Jump to 2020 my aunt got me the same gundam exia dark matter and I built it with care and made it look great was not disappointed with the build regardless the reissue of exia kit.
Random question: in terms of the blades from the dark matter booster, is it compatible to ones like beargguy 3? I saw in one of the samples that it’s compatible when on its backpack so i was wondering if its the same with its weapons. Just curious
Dude, if you ever do review the Razer, can you PLEASE review it next to one of those glass nail files you can just buy off of amazon? Everyone says they are the same, but I haven't ever ran across an actual review where someone compared them both. I have haerd the Razer's file pattern is different, which makes it better suited, but who knows if that's actually true.
To preface this, I love BF, BFT, and BFRR… but BFT taps into the original opening theme in such a more impressive way for so much of a better fight. It’s certainly not a fight that lasts an entire episode but Yuuma and Fumi get SUCH terrific showings in the episode that the final fight almost feels secondary. Loved the review as always man.
Love the design of the Dark Matter. Build Fighters is still the best Build Gundam series. None of the others that came after (Try, Divers, Divers Re:rise) even come close imo.
this was my second gunpla kit when i got back into gunpla as an adult. love the look but man was it a hand grenade. Maybe i'll hunt a new one down and tighten it up from the get go using the knowledge i have now.

Oh wow, I haven't heard that intro in a while, how nostalgic.
And yes, if the opening song for the anime plays, you know you're going to win.
Unless you're Aizen completely stopping Ichigo's attack even though his theme was playing.
And you literally fucked up if its was played twice.
SSSS.Gridman
All new ms are nothing, Tallgeese II is very recommended to everyone.
@Adiwafiy Elfian dude, Tallgeese II is pilot by Treize, and Treize with the OZ minion only wants to protect the earth from White Fang Zech. Didn't you watch the whole Gundam Wing series?
@Adiwafiy Elfian but it was perfect. Unlike the old Tallgeese II is pure nothing
Honestly, we need a real grade version of the Exia Dark matter. Fully reworked to be…better than the old kits that’s for sure
I would be happy if they reworked this kits in a "A wakening of the trailblazer" HG way instead of just recicling the old clunky HG Exia Handgrenade. Even the HG 00 still today feels as an awesome HG kit.
I'm literally re-watching build fighters, I realized how good it is.
Watching it as it aired was one of the best experiences i had and really made my mondays really special
its my first series and god damn i have such a good taste for a 5 year old
The plot might be underwhelming or even unoriginal on the character development but the fights are undoubtedly top-notch masterpieces that also has sick soundtracks
If only we can get a season 3, won't happen I guess.
@@elitemikovirus7909 its a bit wierd that they never followed up on that "open tournament" they keep mentioning in build fighters try
I really wish more of the kits came with a heated version like this one, imagine a Zaku with an ignited heat hawk.
Hey now that fight between Hiroto and Alus where Hiroto went on a rage fest was pretty dope too! LETS NOT FORGET THAT TIMING OF THE SNIPER SHOT
insert re rise ost
Hiroto sniping at zero distance
@@carlzerris6566 peak snipe 😌
HE SLAM THE SNIPER PART TO THE ENEMY'S HEAD,SHOOT IT LIKE NOTHING! its dope

That sounds like...
KYOJI!!!
Yeah. No.
Someone needs to rewatch G Gundam
I agree @Snuka

But we cannot deny the fact that controlled Meijin vs Sei/Reiji is also cool af and deserves praise.
And when Ricardo was flashing back to his long history with the increasingly totalled Wing Fenice, only to ask his friend if it had just one more push left in it... and its eyes lit up. Gets me every time.
Definitely. It also has the advantage of actually being a fair fight.
I see I think amazing exia he f91 image was the best personlly

BULL. SHIGHT.
There are several fights in the build series that are just as good if not better than this one.

Mind controlling Yuuki
Turning the Exia into the Dark Matter

Changing the field
Increasing the embody output as the fight dragged on.
Etc.
Meanwhile the fight with the Wing Gundam Fenice is just better cuz it's both people giving it their all in an honest duel between mentor and mentee.
This guy makes ads so good i sit through his sponsored content
Good for you and the fact that you're doing this for us we appreciate it keep up the good work and thanks for all the videos
Exia Dark Matter Gundam, one of the coolest gunpla design on the build series.
I like how the sword blades are from the First Exia and the Exia repair 2
Nostalgia
When I heard your presentation for manscape.
I love it.
It makes me laugh my a** off.
And makes me hyped.
But since I don't have balls I'll just have to settle on trimming my fairway🤣
bruuhh the 'balls' transition was dope
Setsuna would pissed and dissapointed seeing evil version of Exia.
I’ve been building gunpla for years and how is this the first time I’ve heard of glass files. Are they really that good and that easy? Anyone have any recommendations?
Gunprimer and Dspiae imo. But if you just wanna try it out you can just grab a glassfile from a drugstore. To clean them just pour some running water on them then dry them.
Oooohhhh yeah. The return of the original Mechagaikotsu theme. I remember those days fondly.
I love the Exia to death, but it sure has gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to both HG and MG kits. Even the RG has it's shortcomings, though out of the three it is the best. I'll never buy another Exia unless it's the PG, because every single other model of it has let me down so much. Here's hoping that the upcoming Virtue MG box has an Exia easter egg on it like the other suits have had for each other.
i thought the MG exia 2.0 was already announced?
@@nhoover76 nope not yet
@@BigDaddy-wm5vk to be honest i wouldn't be surprised if they did do a 2.0 using the new 00mg frame seeing how it's the only one left
Bandai recently released MG Exia R3 so no 2.0
The swords actually having elemental effects are what made me fall in love with the exia dark matter.
Bro please get some rest ok
I CAN HEAR FLAMENCO.
Seeing that bit on the raser has me convinced that it's worth it if you have the God hand, def need to get a set.
I really loved the segue to manscape in this vid!
Also this made me want to buy an exia dark matter kit
I’ve always wondered what’s Mecha’s og theme called?
My first kit. I’ll always have a soft spot for Exia Dark Matter, no matter how bad the MG version may be.
Same
Am i the only person who seriously likes the MG Exia Dark Matter? Sure, it needs some fixing when built, but it still looks amazing
Me too . The villain MS designs are always so good but their kits are really terrible but the sculpting are still on point and accurate that brings that great appearance into life
@@Cieln0va nah, I love it too. I just acknowledge its failings because people get mad if I say I like it lol. It is true, though - while I love it with all my heart, it’s simply the worst of my four (so far) Master Grades. Everything else is just so much sturdier.

GBF's soundtrack is straight fire 👏
Hell yeah it was awesome. No IT IS awesome.
@@MusicFan752 Heaven bless Yuki Hayashi, he's the composer for GBF and GBF Try. 👏
I am still enjoying GBF's and GBF Try's OST until this day, they are absolute mood booster
Nice to see the original background song comeback
building the master grade of this was so much fun
Such nostalgia seeing that mechagaikotsu "original opening theme"
Build fighters is something that we need a sequel
Its Build Fighters Try
best commercial ever
Oh OG Intro how we've missed you
I had similar issues with that chest/shoulder armor always falling out when moving the arms. The other issue I have seen with the HG Exia variants is that the rifle never wants to sit in the hand nicely. The swords also don't want to stay on the hips since they are just barely holding on with pressure. It still looks awesome thou (doubt I will ever get the MG version) even with all the issues.
1:12 So it's a Theme Music Power Up?
also hearing your old intro is pretty nostalgic since you were still using it when i found your channel.
Thanks Mecha. You made me return to the OG Gunpla Fighter OP to build my backlog
the meijins music always gets me so hyped!! love that you used it
Speaking of that anime trope...
I agree.
In Shaman King 2021, episode 5, Yoh Asakura DID tap into the power of the original opening theme when he fought against Silva. Ehehehehe.
1:12 i gotta belive watching that scene again gives me goosebumps
You know something awesome is going to happen when the theme song starts playing.
Strangely enough listing to the theme song works
HE DID IT!! HE SHOWED THE ACCESSORIES ONLY ONCE LES GOOOOO!!!
Me never getting tired of your reviews man. Thanks for your efforts!!
i screamed hearing this at 2:11 yahooo. man, it's been years
Hmmm hope you get sleep at all next time xD
More HGUCs please
They did my boy dirty, if only they also release a revive HG exia just for dark matter like they did for build strike, shame bandai...shame
Definitely still waiting for that HG Revive Exia. Even the RG Exia failed to impress especially on the articulation side, which to me is an injustice considering the kind of mecha the Exia is.
@@StrikeNoir105E Or HG 00 revive in general honestly, some kits are still good up to this day but the first season kits needs a revive imo
Brings back nostalgia.
It's weird that Sunrise can make the Exia look evil but not the OO and The Qan[T]
00 fused with Destiny gundam meanwhile qant decided to become a heavy arms type
this is the best intro By far, not even close
You know that when the og opening starts in a fight scene, shits about to go doen
When you mentioned what they were going to Tapp into... I was like come on friendship. Lol
Meijin is so op he can repaint and remade a gunpla in one night. Now that's legendary !
It's the future, maybe they had some new paint technology lol
It's always a pleasure to hear Six Times the Passion of Ordinary Flamenco
I’m vary impressed that the entire waist didn’t fall apart. The One I have just falls apart and it’s being left in the box.
Hairlesss balll!!!😂😂😂😂3:45
I'm gettin' that classic Mecha Gaikotsu vibes. Is that your good ol' OST?
literally made my arm hair stand when this happened
I only have the amazing exia but i did get the Dark Matter exia booster seperate to make a custom. I put it on the back of a Palerider and dear god is it terrifying.
Thank you for the review! I hope the situation with your landlord and neighbors works out for the best, and that you're able to get some decent sleep.
The Build Fighters series was really awesome haha. When I first started building in 2018 I saw the Build Fighters kits and was not into the gunpla at all and stuck with IBO and 00.

1:35 oohh..megami device #15? Cool! Hope you review it soon.👍
mine is already in pieces due to younger me not handling gunpla carefully lol. used some parts of it to repair my astraea, which is now an exia
the og intro needs to come back
If you're still making lists, maybe you could do a top 10 P-Bandai kits or something along those lines! Nostalgic video btw xD
power of friendship? no
power of secret power level and stuff? no
power of the first OP? YEssir
1:48 my man has really nice eyes
Your amazingest sarcasm beat the power of the intro 😂🤣
At this point you have to do the Gundam Wing Fenice Rinscita too!
The Gunprimer Raser is pricey, but for what it does I consider it worth it for me. It removes nubs near perfectly (depending on the plastic), cleans clear parts perfectly, and makes OOB builds much faster and helps me get to customizing much faster
Hoping for 1/144 HG AnnoDomini line then the old parts of Exia will be improved totally.
The problem with that is that HG 00 line is considered a modern kit line already
First built it then was not great because I was new to gunpla. Jump to 2020 my aunt got me the same gundam exia dark matter and I built it with care and made it look great was not disappointed with the build regardless the reissue of exia kit.
I been expecting to see your review of the beautiful Tallgeese II. But it seems you haven't watched the Gundam Wing episode 46 until 48...
I loved all those gunpla anime
think this was my 3rd ever build found this easier then the 1st two i built
I think the 1st season 00 Gundams need a "Revive" treatment, probably called HGAD.
Build fighter is my fav build series
11:43 how funny considering you gave the Amazing Exia silver tier
AMAZING STRIKE FREEDOM
Is it just me or is it giving me Master Gundam Vibes
I'm honestly expecting to hear, "they've tapped in to the power of super glue"XD
They used that against the sengoku astray
yeah I know, it was meant to be a call back to that exact fightXD
I love the gundam build fighters series
That fight still give me goosebumps
Random question: in terms of the blades from the dark matter booster, is it compatible to ones like beargguy 3?
I saw in one of the samples that it’s compatible when on its backpack so i was wondering if its the same with its weapons. Just curious

Have some good sleep mecha, you deserve it.
10:26 why not just change exia dark matter hip joint with transient hip joint that would solved your ball hip problem
I kinda miss that Opening: 🔥 *MECHAGAIKOTSU* 🔥
To preface this, I love BF, BFT, and BFRR… but BFT taps into the original opening theme in such a more impressive way for so much of a better fight. It’s certainly not a fight that lasts an entire episode but Yuuma and Fumi get SUCH terrific showings in the episode that the final fight almost feels secondary. Loved the review as always man.
*ADDS to list *
YOOO THE OLD INTRO IS BACK
Just buy a glass nail file. It’s basically the same thing as the Raser, and you can get like 8 of them for 1/3 the price
Love the design of the Dark Matter. Build Fighters is still the best Build Gundam series. None of the others that came after (Try, Divers, Divers Re:rise) even come close imo.
Build fighters is one of my favorite Gundam shows because it’s so much more unconventional than other shows
this was my second gunpla kit when i got back into gunpla as an adult. love the look but man was it a hand grenade. Maybe i'll hunt a new one down and tighten it up from the get go using the knowledge i have now.
