I'm more a fan of the full fat version but still I like how in this series there is alot of survival via custom and adapting suits from parts. lightly touched on in 00 with poor the poor virtue and it's legacy..
I feel they should release some kind of mini gusion pack that comes with the frame parts needed for the gusion parts and have stronger wrists and just stronger joints in general
Man, I love this thing AND the gusion :/ I wouldnt want to buy this kit twice due to the plastic id be wasting and the premium id be paying for said waste though. If these wouldve been 2 normal kits or if it wouldve included an extra inner frame I wouldve been all over this kit.
Can't wait until the 1/100 scale Kimaris trooper is released. I am going to combine it with the Re-bake parts for my Gundam 8 Gates. The Regular Gusion is too unique to not have. Now for my fellow gunpla fans the 1/100 frames for the Gundams are the same (except for the heads) in this line so you should be able to use the Barbatos frames or Kimaris booster type if you would like. Amazon and gundamplanet are selling them for $25
i got lucky on Amazon, they were selling this kit for about $40 when they normally sell it for over $60. its coming in today, i'll reply to or edit this comment with how i feel about the kit
sorry it took so long for me to reply to my comment with my thoughts about this kit. in my opinion, its an amazing kit, but the sub-arms come loose very easily and the hip and ankle joints are pretty weak, it doesn't hold standing poses well
Correct me if I'm wrong but I know if you're living in Japan, you can order just some of the runner plates, it would be nice if you'll just order the inner frame runners just to build a completely separate Gundam Gusion.
I have the kit but I haven't built it yet (lack the time unfortunately) Is it possible to equip the Gusion armor parts on the Barbatos frame? I was initially sure it could work but after seeing the frames are different I'm having my doubts
I really enjoy what you do here as a Gunpla Reviewer. However, your videos are slightly too long in my opinion (clocking in at around 18-20 minutes per video). It would be great if you consider making your videos around 10 minutes long, this will make your videos more concise and easier to understand. (Also easier for us viewers to re-watch). Thanks! Keep up the good work! ----- A Humble Gundam Fan
Thanks for the feedback! That's been the most common complaint I've got on my channel, and I'm always trying to consider that. But on the other hand, I prefer my reviews to be thorough, so it's not easy! ^^
I could also further advice to make like a condense version like only 5-8mins vids (much like how typev3 does his vids) where he would only discuss about articulation, overall look and feel and finally thoughts and opinion. Then you can have another version of the like an in-depth vid with more discussions about the kit, tips if people decides to paint it, trouble areas, etc.
Be honest that was my complaint too, that being said I had an extra Barbados frame and made a tweak for the legs and arms cause the rebake has different armor slots for those but all in all it worked out just food for thought get a cheaper inner frame and use both rebake and gusion
My guess is that they realized that the Gusion wasn't gonna sell like they wanted it after getting feedback from people and sales from the 1/144 kits so they did this combo pack to get some money from the Gusion . I'm gonna be honest..... I haven't given this series a fair chance since I have only watched the first 2 episodes and Gundam wise based on the kits the Gusion Rebake is pretty much the only that has managed to get my interest! The Gusion on the other hand is not only my least favorite out of all the model kits for this series but... for some reason I just consider it a Gundam.
+ultimatepower I think you could be right about the sales worries of Bandai. But I think they would have been much better off selling the kits separately. They could probably price them separately at 3,000yen each, just due to the amount of plastic for each Gundam. So for people who want both versions they are gonna spend 6,000 rather than 5,000 for the set. Yes, currently if people want both they have to spend 10,000, but very few people are really gonna do that. I think there are a lot of people that only want one of the forms, but they aren't gonna buy the kit at all because of the price and wasted parts.
Actually figured something out recently that you can use the frame of the kimaris space type for the armor of the gusion so you wouldnt have to pay another 40ish dollars
Would you say this kit is worth 45$ just for the rebake? Is the model itself stable without a stand, or not worth it if you dont have the other kits for weapons to actually use the extra arms?
Hello Zaku A, I just put together my own Gusion Rebake (Bandai) and it looks awesome! I used spray paints instead of stickers, and oil paint washes for the panel lines and weathering. However, yes I'm dissapointed too I cant have a Gusion without taking the Rebake apart! What a waste.. have you gotten around this problem yet?
great review bro! i just wish bandai would release for sell the 2nd frame to complete both of them,though paying that much for this kit is way too much,that's stopping me from buying it.
It's not my favorite design, but I kinda like it. It's a shame it comes packaged with the Gusion parts, if it were sold by itself I'd consider getting it so I could display it teamed up with my 1/100 Barbatos. As it is, I probably won't get it. Great review, anyway!
ZakuAurelius Maybe they'll reconsider the decision and release it by itself later on down the line. I understand the decision thematically, but considering lots of people who build the models aren't interested in the anime it's an interesting choice!
Alex Eddy probably not gonma happen at this point but i would recommend taking your 1/100 barbatos and using the frame for one of the two since its pretty cheap to get beaides the 5th form barbatos comes with all the parts to make all the forms
I really want the 1/100 Gusion Rebake but I don't want to spend $50 on it, I don't really want all those extra Gusion parts. hopefully Bandai will sell these kits separately in the future.
Feel free to send all those Rebake parts you'll probably never use :) My current custom would love to use that backpack unLESS that backpack doesn't work on the original Barbatos frame... :) I'll probably pick this up and just build the Gusion because who doesn't like a chunky turtle MS? But could you let me know if that backpack works on the original frame. Thanks!
If you wanted, I'm sure you could order in the plates that have the actual Gundam frame and build the two of them. For sure would be cheaper than buying them both, that's for sure.
I kinda like the overall design of the MS .. just the head sits too tall and that screws up the look IMO. That and the shield looks odd and doesn't really fit the style of the rest of the body.. The silhouette looks almost like the GP-01 FB holding a GP-02 shield..
Hate how they package gusion and gusion rebake together...i mean why ?? They dont package kimaris trooper and booster unit together..and they are the same gundam with same frame ! But this is a diferent gundam with same frame
I don't have a choice really. The only place near me that sells them is a comic book store that only has a few kits, and they're overpriced. For example they have a V2 Gundam ver.KA that's priced at $90.
Just start a crazy scratch built frame and build out the leftover armor? Yeah that's it, just some endless project that never gets done but you learn a lot from.
I can't stand the stupidity of putitng two kits into one and make it imcredibly expensive, since the MG is out, I think there is still a chance for only one kit for each right?
@@ZakuAurelius. The HG 1/144 has the pincers but the 1/100 doesn’t seem to. Granted this isn’t a true MG version but those full mechanics ones like the Lupus and Rex version of the Barbatos.
@@platinumdragonslayer6128 this kit is based on the original gusion rebake from season 1 of the anime. The pincers was introduced in season 2 so thats why this 1/100 kit doesn't come with the pincers lmao
@@ez-a4585. I see now. That makes sense. I just wish they would hurry up and make some more true MGs from IBO. With how popular that series was it’s hard to believe there isn’t a bigger demand. I want MGs of Bael, Hashmal, Lupus, and Rex and more from that series besides the Barbatos.
I would buy this kit if China company decided to release a bootleg gundam frame. As it is I'm not going to get it because I don't like the rebake...It's just a waste of money.
Feel like the Gusion Rebake is an underappreciated mobile suit. It's defiantly one of my favorites. Especially Full City with it's giant snippers.
Yeah the rebake is one of my favorite gundams
Wish they made a guzion rebake full city in 1/100, I like the big scissors
Ryan Loc shut the fuk up
hugo poyoyo *insert scissoring joke here*
Voltage that’d be a cool feature

so sad it doesn't include another inner frame~ :( nice review~ cant wait for the gusion oob review~ thank you Z.A~
+zintMY it probably wouldn't have cost them much to include another inner frame considering the Gusion doesn't even use the whole frame.
You need a second cannon to recreate te scene from the island.
Nice review Zack, I'll be posting my Rebake review on Friday.
Man, I love this thing AND the gusion :/ I wouldnt want to buy this kit twice due to the plastic id be wasting and the premium id be paying for said waste though. If these wouldve been 2 normal kits or if it wouldve included an extra inner frame I wouldve been all over this kit.

The barbatos lupus and guison rebake is my first 1/100 gunpla
gorgeous, love it man

I'm casting the frame parts for the Gusion, leaving the Rebake the full authentic frame. Guess it's just an opportunity to learn things.
Actually figured something out recently that you can use the frame of the kimaris space type for the armor of the gusion so you wouldnt have to pay another 40ish dollars
boi boi can't you use the barbatos frame too
Is the shield the only thing that needs to be painted? All the other details look like they're all there
Would you say this kit is worth 45$ just for the rebake? Is the model itself stable without a stand, or not worth it if you dont have the other kits for weapons to actually use the extra arms?
This kit would be soooo awesome if the face can change without removing and adding new pieces
Wish you made a size comparison, making it stand tall with the Barbatos.
not sure why they don't give stickers for the white on the shield
I like the kit but I don't like the back skirt.....but you're right about the waste of plastic though
Hello Zaku A, I just put together my own Gusion Rebake (Bandai) and it looks awesome! I used spray paints instead of stickers, and oil paint washes for the panel lines and weathering. However, yes I'm dissapointed too I cant have a Gusion without taking the Rebake apart! What a waste.. have you gotten around this problem yet?
Your best option would be to buy the cheapest IBO 1/100 Gundam kit (the original Barbatos kit, I think) and use the frame from that.
Is the shield heavy? You didn't really show that off.
+balgus82 The shield is heavy, but because it attaches to the arm is doesn't cause much issue. The rifle is an issue only at the wrist.
Just what I wanted to know. Thanks!
great review bro! i just wish bandai would release for sell the 2nd frame to complete both of them,though paying that much for this kit is way too much,that's stopping me from buying it.
so hard to find the skeleton for it, i got the kit for christmas and haven't been able to find just a skeleton in the us
use the skeleton of the kimaris space type b/c they are surprisingly compatible
Thanks ill check it out
How do you make both of them and keep them both together
kaufe zwei und baue es

+Jango The Blue Fox I wouldn't hold your breathe! haha
ZakuAurelius
I know but they re-release kits in slightly different configurations all the time. it could happen.
Is the Gusion frame the same as the Barbatos?
Umm..... No.
Nope, the knee joints are different, so the Barbatos legs wont be compatible.
Feel free to send all those Rebake parts you'll probably never use :) My current custom would love to use that backpack unLESS that backpack doesn't work on the original Barbatos frame... :) I'll probably pick this up and just build the Gusion because who doesn't like a chunky turtle MS?

+Skuffle The Rebake backpack should work on the Barbatos. I haven't tried it, but I'm 99.9% sure it will work.
If you wanted, I'm sure you could order in the plates that have the actual Gundam frame and build the two of them. For sure would be cheaper than buying them both, that's for sure.
Luckily with a bit of moding the barbatos can use the original gusion parts.
you know what they say about big feet right? he's got a big cockpit
yeah should'a watched this before buying one, I think I'll just build a frame out of Legos and try to make that work
wird nicht stabil sein

$50 for a more expensive MG?!?!? How do got them so cheap? Here in Canada normal MGs are $50-60.
+Dale Ursu you buy online. a cheap Master Grade like Wing Gundam EW or Crossbone X-1 Ver Ka are about $30.
I don't have a choice really. The only place near me that sells them is a comic book store that only has a few kits, and they're overpriced. For example they have a V2 Gundam ver.KA that's priced at $90.

BUY ONLINE! you can Buy Gunpla on Amazon.com, that's where I buy most of my kits.
+Dale Ursu Yeah I'm just talking about Japanese list price.
+ZakuAurelius I figured. I posted that comment without really thinking. Thanks for the reply btw.
Only if the head can be transformed without changing the chin part.....
Looks nice. But the 2 in 1 boxing they did is what is keeping me from buying the kit.
+Wayo Exactly, bad decision on Bandai's part!
If only they gave you two *full* kits :'(
+sushiyoda G If only they just made this two SEPARATE kits entirely! It's okay for me who LOVES to just kitbash the extra parts...
as always very objective but for a non grade £50 ouch
gundam fan 1/100 with 2 armors for the frame, that raises the price quite a bit buddy
max chavez exactly lots of spare parts

This is that one exception when you would want a bootleg kit. XP
Yup, it will be a hell lot cheaper
I'm genuinely surprised there isn't one yet.
senpai kit bash it with the gusion :) if you are not that busy though :) still waiting for those FMP.. :)
u have twitter?
i want to re-make my 1/100 barbatos
from re-paint and using MSG part
i need ur help :D
+Le Fezza Check the video information bro!
Dissapointment. I'd have thought the some of the Rebake armor will be made using some of the Gusion armor. What a waste.
thomz197ify how is that bad thats better cause that means if you get an another frame you can make one of the others
The full mechanics is a scam cus it dus not hqve opening cockpit
