Surely they know how awful the articulated hands are at holding things, so I can't imagine why they don't have fixed posed as an option with everything.
@@demomanchaos money..... for dem Managers and bean counters feel it's not worth the cost of adding fixed holding pose hands on Gunpla kits outside maybe Most expensive kits and even then it's a big IF
Really enjoy the format. The only channels who do similar gunpla history videos are in japanese, and they also show stock photos of the kit instead of built models.
I like this. It’s always fun to take a look at the history of something as simple as a model kit. If it helps, you could always ask for photos of model kits you don’t have.
While not HGUC itself, the GM Sniper K9 is indeed a great GM Sniper II kit, especially since you can build the GM Sniper II out of it and even customize its arsenal... not to mention its more militaristic color scheme, which IMO really fits well in it.
I recently picked up the MG GM Sniper II bout 6 months ago. It's EASILY my favorite grunt suit. It's a fairly cheap and easy build, solid as a rock to boot.
The GM Sniper II was the second MG I built (after the GP03, which definitely gave me an old and new comparison to be truly appreciative of), and it was such a joy. One of my favorite builds.
What a damn good pilot to the series, I can't wait to watch more and this was also really informative, I never knew the White Dingo shields were just dressed up Ground GM/Gundam shields
I looked for a playlist for this already... Half way through before I got to the part where you mentioned this was a pilot episode... Obviously, I love this documentary style history of the kits!
I’d love to see a history of the regular gm kits (HG, Master Grade) and the evolution to from the MG 1.0 to the 2.0. Love this video idea, please make more!
The reason it has a dull clear part for the scope is before you don't want the sunlight to reflect it back to the target and giving away your position. Also I made the MG GM Sniper 2 White Dingo last with with digital camo so check it out when you have the time.
Honestly, if there are more histories you want to do, I don't think it'd be a big issue if you were to use stock images in lieu of kits you don't own personally. Just being able to see the progression of certain suits in gunpla form is already quite interesting in itself, so if there's something you want to cover, you should try it that way.
I really like the format ! It's interesting to see how Gunpla evolves over time, and I share your thoughts on the 0080 GMs. Personally, as someone who likes to play with my kits a lot, the HG isn't entirely satisfying due to its limited joints and weak hands (my trigger finger hands are falling apart now after a few years of switching weapons), but it's a nice model to look at. I really hope Bandai does more GM Revives in the future so we can see all those beautiful variants with the detail and articulation they deserve.
Trust me everything you do that is gundam related info i enjoy as a long time fan..keep it up you are doing a great job ..remember it was you that hook me back to gunpla
I hope you'll do videos on the Jegan and the Nu Gundam at some point. Considering those came out when Bandai stopped using glue, they should be easier to acquire and make videos on than kits based on stuff from MSG - ZZ. Ooh! Maybe even the RGZ-91! That thing has only had a handful of kits based on it in any size, so that one should be relatively simple to make a video on.
Oh my, a new series of Gundam History? You spoil us too much. All honesty, I like how you formatted this like it was actually a Unit Development History, I expect some fun things from future Gunpla History.
I really love that the HG came with a draken, I wish more High Grades would have little side vehicles/ support units that come with them, would really help flesh out any displays
Back in the day I really liked 0080 - not just for the story, but also for how they updated the designs of original mobile suits (especially for Zeon).
Did you ever get your hands on the HG GM Spartan? Despite using the same joint runner, it updates all the joints (except the knees) to be on par with modern HGs. It's quite impressive, given its base kit.
What the hell, I just got the GM Sniper II today in the mail after ordering last week and finished building only to find you released this video today as well.
I won't lie to you here. The sniper 2 was my introduction to gundam. As the son of a soldier I remember taking pictures of my robotdamashi sniper 2, usually in a place that it would see as a snipers nest. Since I made my first model I made a promise to myself I'd build the best HG variant of the sniper 2. In this case the K-9. I like your idea of mixing both idea's together so that's what I'll do. All in a spec ops color scheme.
I have the HG GM Sniper 2, which I think is a really awesome kit. Hoping for the Hazel and that brown one, and that they won't be PBandai. Also picked up the MG GM Sniper 2 Clear Colors on New Year's Day. Keep doing these vids Kakarot. They are awesome and informative.
I think it’s be cool to show the history of some kits whose 1.0 has been overshadowed by time. Especially the MG Sazabi, Hi Nu, and Nu 1.0s. The original kits I’ve heard are spectacular yet barely anyone talks about them in the newer more professional review format
You forgot the GM Domination and other GM Master grades who were all based on the GM Sniper II Master grade! Ya should talk about that! And about how the GM Sniper II won many contests
I find it funny that Mecha Gaikotsu did his review of the WD GM Sniper II and said it's a disappointment for its hands, and you're hear praising the hands.
Comically when I built my GM Sniper II I decided I was going to paint in a Deathscythe style paint scheme and wound up with what is essentially the Wolfe version with some relatively minor differences.
I like the gun on the Titans variant, but the Spec Ops one look pretty awesome too. I'd much rather those two variants be updated with better articulation rather than a straight remold though.
I've only just gotten into Gunpla so this is really cool to see. I'd like to see a tier list of the best GM and GM II kits, I'm a big fan of the grunt mobile suits but the HG 1/144 ground gundam kinda disappointed me with its torso construction (the thing just pops out of its socket if you breath on it wrong). Can't wait for the next one!
Honestly I just brushed some glue on the polycap and let it dry, then put the torso back together. It's not a super articulate joint anyway and it stops the torso from falling apart so easily.
The MG nonposeable hands for the GM Sniper II were the same ones on the MG Age Kits, and future MG GM kits as well as the Rggz and RG GZ Custom so if you want to arm your GM sniper II with an AK or a DODS Rifle, you can
Odd coincidence that you and Mecha Gaikotsu talk about the same kit within 2 days. Or coordination I suppose. It's an interesting episode, I wouldn't mind seeing more, but at the same time I'm not sure how many have the same interest in a specific MS and their variations. For me personally, something that is extremely interesting is the rapid development of RG kits and how staggering the difference is between the overambitious RG #01 that falls apart if you look at it and the flawless #33 Force Impulse Gundam with extremely tight tolerances and a core fighter middle section that sits so snugly and so solidly, that you can't tell it's a split apart mobile suit from handling it, unlike the GP01 RG's. The mechanical differences in HG's as well, for example with all the different RX-78-2 kits and how advanced some of them are (Origin/G40/Beyond Global) and then obviously MG's with crazy advances as well, like the competently transforming ZZ ver ka and Kyrios, the tight tolerances of the Alex 2.0, the amazing jump that the Mk II 2.0 was, its crazy legs and also the crazy segmented legs of the Wing Zero Ver Ka... so much goodness. In other words, the development rather than the various interpretations and cut corners are more interesting to hear about, in my opinion, but I'm not a grunt nut, I'm satisfied with a couple variations that look good and not even necessarily color accurate.
Considering this isn't really a Gunpla review video, I honestly don't mind if you made videos about mobile suit lines you don't have completed. Honestly, it's the lore behind the kits that make videos like this very interesting imo. But regardless of how you want to do this series moving forward, I'm definitely looking forward to future videos.
Speaking of war in the pocket. I've heard a rumor that the mobile suits were meant to be retconned and the guncannon and zaku were simply meant to be the new designs
Thats slightly correct, the Zeon suits along with the MP Guncannon where meant to be redesigns to update there appearances from the original series. The Zeon suits where changed to have their origins as apart of the United Maintenance Plan and the MP Guncannon was given it's own designation sometime after SD Gundam MK IV.
I really like this video format. I kinda wish you would do a Gunpla History/Evolution for Gundam Exia, but as we all know, that would be Impossible. Especially with how much they milked that kit to the brim.
I'm hoping you'll have the TGSAnime curse where you do one of these and shortly afterwards Bandai announces a new kit, preferably at a reasonable price, but that might be wishing too much. Besides that joke, I did like this. Not as much as in-universe lore, but this was still incredibly fascinating. You get a like and this time it is not just from having an RX-79 [G] Gundam Ground Type in it.
In my school vr game the gym sniper 2 had a version called the gym sniper 2 royalty carrier type ( it's a fancy word of being a escort unit ) and the unit it self made its appearance in 2 missions both iron blooded orphans and these were MCgalise fareed and there place it first appearance was when it pretend to be a graze and had a dainsleft but it his actual sniper and shot goalius biohelm off and in there place it was there trying to support shydens and the gundams but got spotted by goalius and the pilot well let's just say that he needs a new pair of pants when goalius saw the pilot and it got comfirm with a talk bit in white base he said oh goes um boss gym sniper 2 pilot had a um pretty bad accident
I really liked the video. My 2 cents on the MG hands: I get that having fully articulated hands is neat, but the assembly is a pain in the ass, especially as I get older. The ones that are molded together on the runner are a good alternative, but at least on my MG Gramps 3.0, the finger joints came apart.
There is this Japanese Gundam UA-camr named Gamore which does this kind of video format: he does them in Japanese, but he puts English subs. It's cool to finally see an English language version of this format.
Please do a top 12 Zeon/Neo Zeon designs that everyone can agree are awesome and iconic this includes designs that you would like to see made into model kits in the future.
Personally, I think they should do fixed posed trigger finger hands to hold weapons while having the articulated ones for expressive poses.
Having both, like they did with the MG Strike Noir and many Real Grades, is indeed the way to go.
Wouldn't that have been a good idea. I hope they implement that in future kits.
Surely they know how awful the articulated hands are at holding things, so I can't imagine why they don't have fixed posed as an option with everything.

Everyday we get closer to a GM development history.
Funny how there's a gm development history now
(Well not a development history but a history of all the GM's used in the one year war)
Talking about GM Sniper II I really want Bandai to make HGUC GM Spartan, especially the Black Dog squad from Code Fairy
There's a resin conversion for the MG kit, but its for the Standard Spartan.
@@Gunpla-Slinger i already know that exist, that's why I'm talking about the HGUC
hoo boy do I have news for you
@@johnyoutubegaming sadly its a p-bandai and was sold out in like 15 secs on the website
@@firdauskamal5809 cant even get past checkout coz it was "sold-out"
I would 100-percent love to see more videos like this just got into Gundam model kits so learning the history about this stuff is really interesting
What a damn good pilot to the series, I can't wait to watch more and this was also really informative, I never knew the White Dingo shields were just dressed up Ground GM/Gundam shields
Man, the GM Sniper II is getting some YT love and I'm here for it!
And this is a cool series to watch.
this is it. this is the best gunpla history format and i love it that you combined it with your history knowledge
Man I have to say that you're one of the reason that I got back in the hobby after more than 10 years of not looking at anything gundam related
One of the most desired machines of the Federation became one of the greatest Master Grade models of all time.
I looked for a playlist for this already... Half way through before I got to the part where you mentioned this was a pilot episode... Obviously, I love this documentary style history of the kits!
I’d love to see a history of the regular gm kits (HG, Master Grade) and the evolution to from the MG 1.0 to the 2.0. Love this video idea, please make more!
Awesome video I didn’t know Bandai held off from making a sniper II gunpla for so long. Good that the master grade is fantastic.
Glad you're doing these man. It's good to learn about this and other gundam and gunpla related content

Great content as always! I think a lot of us of your viewers would love to see a development history of the Grandaddy od all, RX-78-2
I really hope we get the spec ops version in 1/144. Please make more in these series! I love the format!
Yeah that Titans version is looking sexy with that gun.
I really love that the HG came with a draken, I wish more High Grades would have little side vehicles/ support units that come with them, would really help flesh out any displays
Back in the day I really liked 0080 - not just for the story, but also for how they updated the designs of original mobile suits (especially for Zeon).
Love the new series. I'm looking forward to more.
I know this is late, but I love this format and this is just the kind of video I'm looking for. Hope to and can't wait see more!
My first Gunpla kit was the HG GM Sniper II. It’s pretty awesome.
Did you ever get your hands on the HG GM Spartan? Despite using the same joint runner, it updates all the joints (except the knees) to be on par with modern HGs. It's quite impressive, given its base kit.
I was a huge fan of the dreamcast game! I still play it from time to time just to see if I can beat my times with different weapons
love this video. The K9 GM Sniper 2 from Build Fighters is such a good kit!
What the hell, I just got the GM Sniper II today in the mail after ordering last week and finished building only to find you released this video today as well.

That would fit more as GM Command Variants
We can kinda tell that the GM sniper II K9 is probably your most favorite GM sniper kit. You even have it as your cover picture for the videos.
Favorite MS ever! As someone who has to tried to collect all of the different ones, I still need that White Dingo version
I find it funny that Mecha Gaikotsu did his review of the WD GM Sniper II and said it's a disappointment for its hands, and you're hear praising the hands.
Well to be honest the hands aren't a deal breaker and for mine I kitbashed it to use MG 2.0 Gundam hands instead.
The shaking during the spinning makes it looks like its firing :D
the GM Sniper II was the epitome of "Wait for it".. still looking out to buy my own White Dingo Version..
Need more of these gunpla history videos....maybe some more gunpla reviews too? Been a couple months since the last one
Coincidental time to release this, I've been eyeing the HGUC for a while now lol
Damn there is now gunpla history
This channel grow fast than my puberty
I was waiting for something like this, keep the series.
Comically when I built my GM Sniper II I decided I was going to paint in a Deathscythe style paint scheme and wound up with what is essentially the Wolfe version with some relatively minor differences.
The only thing that I dislike about this is that it ends
love your work fellow GM Sniper II fan :)

Really giving thought to the High Grade of the Lydo Wolf one
I really enjoyed this, though I might be biased since GM Sniper II is also my favourite grunt suit
My favorites are the GMs.
Got MG Sniper II, Lydo Wolf, the White Dingo one, Sniper Custom and the Fatal Ash one.
Do whatever kits you can. The more videos you put out, the better.
The MG nonposeable hands for the GM Sniper II were the same ones on the MG Age Kits, and future MG GM kits as well as the Rggz and RG GZ Custom so if you want to arm your GM sniper II with an AK or a DODS Rifle, you can
