30MM actually distracted me away from buying my first Gunpla kits. I was wanting to branch out my hobbies and thought Gunpla might get me back into model kits again, but I couldn't decide on any Mobile Suits I liked enough to want a kit of. And then I saw a Mecha Gaikotsu video on 30MM and just started getting too many ideas in my head to not try them out.
Man these guys look good. I’m probably gonna wait a while for a dark grey Rabiot for that dark special operations option set but otherwise Bandai did not disappoint with these guys
these are perfect for filling the bionicle-shaped hole in my heart. Also I can't wait to see a grey/black Rabiot so the dark armor will look less out of place
I really love your videos. If it wasn't for me being poor & paying my studies, I'd definitely buy all of the model kits you have reviewed, I even made some custom Gunpla sketches, but I'll have to wait some years more
@@AlessandroRodriguez Kotobukiya sells kits of just detailed 3mm hole covers, that's maybe worth thinking about if you get into 30mm kits and want to cover up those holes.
Rabiot (and Cielnova) need more color variations. More colors means you can assemble models with the color schemes you want without having to resort to painting them. For example: you can buy the white Alto and the gray Alto and switch parts from both kits to produce an *all-white* Alto instead of the white Alto's default white-and-purple. I've done something similar with my own and it sets them apart from the standard kits.
Mecha.. you should start ranking themm with their own Ranking System.. I mean, so many option sets, so many grunts, and all. You definitely should create a tier system based on this mini Universe. It could be pretty fun hehehe
You can’t just say you painted your Portanova white and not show us dude. Please I need to see it now. Also, can the option sets work on altos/portanova? I’m thinking of making a custom yellow Alto. The alto is my preferred design of the three and yellow is my favorite color
I have no idea if the head and chest armor will fit(it actually might) as I don't have these in hand yet, but the parts on the shoulders and waist definitely will fit as they connect via the standard 30mm peghole design. You'll just have to get creative, which is the entire point of 30MM anyway.
Just a word of warning, the parts between Portanovas (and most likely the upcoming Ciels) don't mix well with the Alto/Rabiot if you want to use the armor detail parts like the head pieces. Same goes for the chest armor pieces. The guns between the Portvanova and Alto are also not compatible for parts-swapping, that is until the little adapter that comes with the Rabiot came along. Mecha Gaikotsu also shows that the Alto face plate doesn't fit the Rabiot, and it is likely the same vice versa. I also am not confident that the Alto chest armor will fit, even though the base Alto panel fits on the Rabiot. So when doing basic custom builds you need to match up the face plates to the right heads and the chest plates to the right torsos. Also when a kit says "FOR ALTO" or "FOR PORTANOVA", etc, take it seriously. Strangely the Rabiot guns are the same as the Portanova gun joints, and the adapter is exclusively for the Alto gun parts. This is a good thing and I hope Bandai just makes all future 30mm kits have the same standard for gun parts. Anyways, to make it more clear what you can do without modification, is mix and match full assemblies. You can put a Portanova head on an Alto Torso with Rabiot shoulders, Portanova Forearms, and Alto hands if you wanted, for example. If you get really creative you can also do things like chain-link thighs together to make a tail or whip arm. You can also link waists together to add more legs if you want a Quad or Hex leg model. My personal project right now is involving attaching a second Alto Torso to the back of a main Alto body to allow it to have a backpack with fully functioning arms on the back, loaded with guns. Though I have to admit looking at this Rabiot kit there's now a cleaner, easier way to accomplish this without needing a silly back-torso.
@@lpsoldin3162 Nice my personal project is modifying my white Alto and adding the actual striker packs so I can have a Perfect Alto. It's looking great so far but I intend on tracking down the custom parts so I can basically turn it into a Gundam. These kits are great for customs and I intend on turning my Alto into a Strike good luck with everyone else's customs!
Fun Fact : The official page of this kits on Twitter has an event each month, it's basically a photo submission of your kits and a war between the UN (Alto/Rabiot) against Byron Army (Portanova/Ciel Nova). Once you've submit yours it will be featured in the event page. Especially if you win the 1st place.
Hi MG, Maybe consider making like another separate shelf for 1/144 scale kits, the usual shelf presence tests are good, for people with all them different scaled models But having all them in same scale makes shelf presence tests more useful, y'know, it's about showing how well they match into collector's shelfs right =Db If you have got spare space somewhere that is =/
You know what mobile suits I want to see as Gunpla. The Kestral Gundam and what it once was. Its a cool Advanced of Zeta MS that deserves a non P Bandai kit.
I wonder if Bandai will employ some of the things 30MM kits have into future HG releases. Especially how the elbow and knee joints connect with the rest of the kit. That would make painting some HG's so much easier without the need of possibly having to modify the joint in a way to detach it and reattach it if it isn't connected with polycaps much like the Build Fighters/Divers kits.
Been to Japan exactly 1 month ago, bought bunch of Alto's and Portanova's. Seeing Rabiot is scheduled for release in April I was hoping to get one as well. Sadly it came out one week after I had to come back home. So close... I'm comforting myself with MG Wing Zero (EW) that I found at sweet price.
Just got my first 30MM kit, and I think I'm hooked already, and it's not even a mech. It's a tank of all things (the 30MM Exented Armament Vehicle (Tank ver Olive Drab) in fact). Looks very lonely all by himself on my shelf. The lore tidbit in the manual made my head spin since not all of it made any sense at first. Rewatching these videos is helping.
Matte kurasai!! Is it only me or this variant 11:51 seems to remind me of DOOM GUY Man I would be delighted if somebody ever made a MS for him. Damn this looks awesome 😎👌🤘
with the alto, i actually use my pin vise before i put the visor in, these like these two little slots on the sides that the visor slides into, that's where i drill out so i can push the visor out later if i wanna swap it out with a different color visor
mmmmm those 30mm clips on the backpack bring me a idea... some iron spider armor type?, whit a little custom and 2 of that backpacks yes, i will do it, some blue, red and black paint and BOOM a spiderman iron spyder mecha
My only complaint with the Alto I bought is there isn't enough good peg holes for attaching random extra gunpla shit. Definitely gotta pick up one or two of these new guys.
Day 9 of asking Mecha Gaikotsu for top ten most VIGOROUS effect parts list. Also I hope we get some beam effects with these kits in the future or a parts set. Love the Rabiot’s bulkiness and shotgun
I just started buying these guys, but I really wish there were more armor options that shared the same colors as the existing kits. I grabbed The Close Combat Orange armor set for the Alto, hoping that all the parts would be universal. Unfortunately, only the chest piece was usable. :/
I think you should do a review of the red frame kai even tho its a bit old i would like to see ur opinion on it also I really like the content u post and your opinion always seems to be right Thank you
I'll have to snag one of those Rabiots now, and maybe one of the coming weapon packs. Already have the Cielnova and an armor set for that on pre-order.
Hey Mecha Gaikotsu why not go down memory lane and look at some HG astrays. Idea because I found a astray in the boxes. Long version below: I just thought of it because I just found an old astray in one of the box piles that I tought that there is no gunpla in them.
Are you sure you put the claw arm on "right"? Maybe it goes the other way on the elbow (thumb facing backwards), and it might have enough room to bend when put in that direction. I know. It seems silly, and it would be still bad design. But I could see a designer doing it if they were planning badly.
![P Bandai 30 Minute Missions Rabiot [R623 Corps] | REVIEW](/img/n.gif)
Alto: "Who are you?"
Rabiot: "I'm you but THICC!"
Literally why it has caught my eye, it looks real good
I kinda want this scenario to happen to me 😮
I wish that were me I mean gross
It looks great
Him saying " *amazing people at hobby link Japan* " is embedded in my memory.
Mine too. I think I might need to rejigger my intro!
@@MechaGaikotsu the page for the RG Sazabi is broken. When is the amazing people at hlj going to fix it so I can buy the damn thing.
@@Grunt0066 the whole website is broken and has been for weeks. Every single page lists every item at $0.00 on every device I visit the site from
Mecha Gaikotsu please don’t change it
Hah I just bought my RG sazabi.
Can't have it delivered tho
Essentially the LEGO comparison makes them like BIONICLE sets.
BANDAIONICLE
You just tickled a memory in my head.. really miss bionicle..
Lmfao so true
@@rowanmcclantoc5418 same spirit here.. 🤣
When read bionicle give alot of good memoories and nostalgia
I've never even bought a 30MM kit and I still get excited to see more of them in these reviews, they're so fun!
30MM actually distracted me away from buying my first Gunpla kits. I was wanting to branch out my hobbies and thought Gunpla might get me back into model kits again, but I couldn't decide on any Mobile Suits I liked enough to want a kit of.

Mecha: Rabiot
UA-cam Subtitles: Ravioli
SukiAdventureCrew I misread it as Rabbit.
KZN02 lol
UA-cam subs are the best. Always corrects me saying gundam to 'condom', with hilarious results!
Mecha Gaikotsu I know Right
All of these 40k teases! When are we getting a full look at your collection? Or maybe another box set review of a Games Workshop product?
My inner 12 year-old can't help but giggle at the thought of a Rabiot with a massive crotch arm.
I feel like to supposed to be fit on the back but idk I don't have one
Man these guys look good. I’m probably gonna wait a while for a dark grey Rabiot for that dark special operations option set but otherwise Bandai did not disappoint with these guys
I like the chunk.
A shotgun you say? *unf*
“the only thing they fear is you starts playing”
these are perfect for filling the bionicle-shaped hole in my heart.
Also I can't wait to see a grey/black Rabiot so the dark armor will look less out of place
There is a grey one coming out this month
With gray armor
The Rabiot extra armor kit is actually a dark brown, so it might still look a bit funky on a gray model.
I really love your videos. If it wasn't for me being poor & paying my studies, I'd definitely buy all of the model kits you have reviewed, I even made some custom Gunpla sketches, but I'll have to wait some years more
When do we get an option set that's just things to cover up/pretty up the 3mm holes? lol
Options parts 1 and 2 have those, but just a couple in each set, so you will a couple of those
@@AlessandroRodriguez
Kotobukiya sells kits of just detailed 3mm hole covers, that's maybe worth thinking about if you get into 30mm kits and want to cover up those holes.
@@lpsoldin3162 These work good for that.
My thought exactly. only reason I don't like 30mm is because they end up with empty holes everywhere.
I have a 3D printer and I plan on printing a bunch of covers for 30mm kits
I love how much fun he’s having with these kits
I like how you're having fun in your videos
Is it just me or does the orange rabiot look like it's cosplaying a valkylander
It looks like the chonky Feddie suits seen in Unicorn.

Nice to know the shovel and claw can combine to make an arm! I've been looking for reviews that would try it.
30mm is like the cartoon call "The Centurions"
i saw a few clips of that show, and your right, if they did actually do a show for this i'd so watch it.
If they came back... MAN...
Man and machine, Power Extreme!
I used to watch that show over in my grannies when I was a kid! Loved it!
Ah, a man of culture.
I just found out about these last week and my first ever set is the deluxe alto navy flight mecha. Im so excited to build it!

Orange definitely has That Desert Ops Feel to it :)
I have to say... this is the BEST idea that bandai has had since they decided to remove the ABS frames from the real grades
Now that there is a Grey, I kind of want to try combining it with the Orange.
i really need to get my hands on some of these kits, now if only hobby stores in my state would open back up already!
You know what mobile suits I want to see as Gunpla. The Kestral Gundam and what it once was. Its a cool Advanced of Zeta MS that deserves a non P Bandai kit.

Okay the claw arm set up is so much better than skirt hands
Just in time For this shenanigans
that DARK BROWN Rabiot set looked more like Bionicle to me.. that head is super cool looking regardless
Imma buy these after quarantine
For the arm claw/shovel
you can use both option parts
1 & 2
Looking forward to this and the cielnova
For the arm
you can use both option parts
1 & 2
Matte kurasai!!

Ah yes the forever famous crotch gun. Now thats what I'll remember of the review
Now I'm waiting for the painted Portanova!

some legs parts, some extension aaaaand BOOM have spiders legs for that
how many 30mm holes did you want
30 minutes missions: *YES*

You should do the underwater portanova next!
I can’t wait for the cielnova
I thought the windows for the construction armor pieces would be blue clear plastic but no its god damn stickkkeerrsssssss!!!!!
You should do a review on your own custom model kit
I really want to see a transforming 30mm kit
9:17 that is either HandyManny's mobile suit or Bob the Builder's Mobile suit...
I'm holding off for the Cielnova
So beautiful
My only complaint with the Alto I bought is there isn't enough good peg holes for attaching random extra gunpla shit. Definitely gotta pick up one or two of these new guys.
I just got my first one. (Blue alto)
HOW DID YOU MAKE MG FREEDOM AND BARBATOS AND HG MOON GUNDAM FLY LIKE THAT WITHOUT A STAND AT 7:24 ????

Not quite. Probably want to mix the Ground Type Alto legs with the Rabiot upper body for maximum armor bulk so far.
Rabiot could be a key to customization, it as four points on the back and front.
oh, look, it's Valkylandar Rabiot and G-3 Rabiot.
wonder if these 30mm kits can hold Little Armory guns... 🤔
