It's actually insane that the RG Sazabi is strong enough to hold the weapon and the effect part up without the arm sagging, hell it'll fall over before it'll let that arm go slack !
Yeah, my MG verka one looks so woobly in comparison
The RG is a tank, the only weak point is the toe hinge
Cries in abs joint
Ah yes, the Mr. Krabs Sazabi
And when you sandwich them ff together they'll become krab-bi patty
Kyujin sazabi
The Krazabi.
"Arararar, Amuro me boy!"
Kind of looks boring.
definitely loved the freebies, now they should make an Entry Grade version of this kit. Its a good contrast to the Nu Gundam
The FF version is in bright red plastic compared to the muted darker red of the regular version.
I kinda wish you got two green effect parts but this is pretty cool. I didn't expect the new parts to be pretty intricate
I was gonna pick up this kit but I personally don’t think if you already have a sazabi this one wouldn’t stand out unless you want the lobster claw weapons. Unlike the SideF Nu Gundam which have a different color scheme to boot and it’s new beam weapon.
This comes with an effect part for the Fukuoka Nu....curse you Bandai marketing...
@@shinjari Ik so weird to lock an effect part behind another entire kit.
@@viperson9818
You. Could always just buy the 3rd Party repro of the effect part if you don't want to pay for a whole kit.
Haven’t built that version of RG Sazabi, but the regular version is in my top 2 or 3 RGs - God, Sazabi, and Hi Nu. I can’t wait for Epyon. Recent RGs have been so much fun to build.
When one of the designer reccommend something silly out of joke about placing nipper on Sazabi, but Bandai take it seriously as the next p-bandai product.
It will be available in the US at the P-Bandai shop tomorrow June 14th
FInally, the lobster-Zabi with pincers in true form! 😋
Just pre-ordered mine the other day. Now I question my money-management skills.
Those weapons when in double barrel mode look like a Star Wars pod racer and now I want to get it to do just that lol
I'm happy that someone is about to reproduce the finhorn funnels as a 3d printable kit
if your reading this the day of the video unloading (6/13) just know the us pbandai shop is gonna have this kit available for preorder the next day (6/14) at 9 pm/21:00 (EDT) for 94 USD plus pban tax
Amuro: "Are you Feeling it now Mr. Char?!"
Do Sazabi’s normal funnels fit into the holes of his new funnels? I feel like that could be a pretty cool kitbash to have him wield giant tonfas that hold his normal funnels
yep theyre the same part so they should
Not directly. There is an adaptor piece that you put over where the funnels are supposed to store in order to put the new weapons on. You still have the old parts so you could just assemble it as a regular Sazabi with extra weapons. Also it was mentioned at 11:23.
@@nekodegozaru951 The old parts like the regular fin funnels? Any more difference between this and the regular sazabi?
@@cosmicaler It's basically the same original RG Sazabi with richer red color+ the crab claws, effect parts, action base, and new decals.
@@nekodegozaru951 do you know how easy it is to switch out the funnel storage after it's built?
My only issue with HLJ or Buyee are that HLJ at least didn't tell me how much shipping was going to be until after I purchased the Kit. Shipping was more expensive than the kit to the US.
Yeah it is unfortunate, I remember buying some witch from mercury kits and ended up pretty much breaking even when compared to just buying locally
I think the best way to use them is for buying multiple kits cause it ends up being cheaper to buy just one locally
@@yashil1215 That's why buying locally is so expensive - shipping international. HLJ calculates the shipping cost for you during checkout before final purchase, you can use that to compare the final pricing....you can still get good deals on HLJ depending on the shipping.
This reminded me I need to put the water slides on my MG Ver Ka Sazabi. Procrastinatiooonnnn
I see that Macross YF-19 in the back! Cant wait for that review and also anyone know how to get an affordable macross hg? All Yf-19s anywhere are above 50$ in US so im wsiting for $37 Durandal or later YF-21
Well, the price did't gone better it's double of the price for the claws.
I know right ? I would've considered it at ~80$ max, but the mark up at the US Premium Bandai is simply ridiculous, especially considering that the dollar is already strong compared to the Yen.
Man its about 120 dollar in my local shop 😭
I ordered mine for just 40 usd lol. I used shoppee since I’m in SEA and thr ff sazabi retails for 60 usd here. However with a 30% off voucher I was able to massively bring down the price 😂. I wouldn’t order this otherwise.
If you know someone who lives in Philippines or malaysia you could ask them to order this for you if they ever go back to your country
@@lawz7787 I know this is kinda late, but may I ask where you bought it? I live in the Ph btw. Thanks!
@@nobody-bt7mu this was a long time ago bro. Round November 2023 🥲
Nowadays there's the bootleg large funnels though if you want. Of course it wouldn't beat the precise molding of the bandai stuff but it's more than enough.
You can also try searching on Facebook for resellers. Bandai Srp for it in sea is about 60 usd so use that as a reference point
The stickers are for the Nu-Gundam to recreate it being manufactured like the Nu Gundam in the movie. They're the tape covers the joints and the white cover for over the eyes.
6:24 I think Bandai should do updated HG 00 kits.
A sneaky move by Bandai to include that effect part for RG RX-93ff ν Gundam exclusively with this kit. It increases the odds that someone would want to get both of them.
@xxnike0629xx "6:24 I think Bandai should do updated HG 00 -kits- BOXES."
FIXED for you, suiton 😉
@xxnike0629xx sneaky move? but suiton, we still have the freedom to buy the thing we REALLY want
@xxnike0629xx and thus, it is a good thing you cannot do ...
@xxnike0629xx the dirty deeds you did years ago anymore ...
@xxnike0629xx if someone refuses to go Pokemon in buying things LUL
Anything below Gundarium for this beast is low ballin'. Just look at those arms, holding such huge blasters!
‘This has a Defined Bottom and Top’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did the mod you made where you cut a piece off the waist to add more of an ab crunch affect its stability over time?
i'm glad i picked this lobster while i was visiting fukuoka along with FF nu, the pbandai markup in the states with shipping is like 50 extra dollars
I think Mr. Krabs is feeling it now
Sazabi is officially a cooked Maine Lobster now
I love how almost all CCA MS have BFW, other than just for show what do you gonna use it for? Destroy Spaceship? MA? Space Fortress?
I loved playing as the 04ff sazabi on gbo2, just preordered my kit off pbandai
This version of the sazabi is actually a much richer and vibrant shade of red compared to the regular sazabi, i only noticed when i saw videos comparing the two
i think that's just the lighting but ur probably right
New weapons look like a giant squid to me, and I can't un-see it.
tbh, after building several kits with the kps frames, yes they are easy to clean and grips parts nicely, but since they are quite soft, are also susceptible to shearing stress. the worst kind of plastic to use with C-clips, which what plagues the WFM kits (also the infamous freedom 2.0 hips)
I just pre-ordered this from P-bandai after watching your review. Already starting to feel regret as it costs literally double the standard RG Sazabi, hopefully those badass funnel cannons are enough to soothe the financial pain.
The crab to Nightengale's lobster
now we gotta wait for the nu gundam rx ff version
While I want this kit, I already have a RG Sazabi. I think I'll just wait for the third party reproduction of the funnels to come out, and save about 60 bucks. It'll probably come with two effect parts, too.
At the time of this post, it's still available for pre-order on p-bandai. They've had some pretty nice stuff lately too. The last thing I picked up was the Gundam Fenice Rinascita Alba. Really looking forward to that one, but also sad that I missed out on the MG Tallgeese III.
yea 94 usd, no thanks.
@@olo398 i can't use p bandai in canada and p bandai is scarce and stupid expensive saw two stores selling this guy for 175$CAD no fking thanks oh and MG stark jegan 269$ its BS
That p-bandai markup can be a real bitch at times.
Crazy, I got the MG Tallgeese III for just under $65 US dollars a few years ago. But I definitely agree that the P-Bandai markups are inexcusable.
@@willisjackson7029 we used to have a p bandai store here in canada but since it shut down in 2019 its just stupid expensive
P-bandai Usa Will have preorders open for this today 6/14 at 9pm EDT
I'm hoping they release the claws as a separate expansion for the kit since it's a lot just for some new accessories.
Sazabi krab custom with his big meaty claw!
Retired doing gundam for awhile now... but i think i should buy this
sazabi looks like the maintenance guy carry ladder
P-bandai america put this up for preorder last night :)
hah! i just built the yf-19 myself. love those forward swept wings!
I do want to see RG Nu Gundam Fully kitted out with everything the Long Range and normal fin Funnels, HWS, on top
You can switch between standard and mr crab as you want, which is rly nice for such a company like bandai, cuz that wont be happening for the most of the time
The Sazabi is one of my favorite mobile suits of the franchise and was very happy with both the ver ka mg and rg, this variant is really interesting with those giant lobster claws they look cool looking.
I love Mr. Krabs! what nippers do you use? the cut is so smooth :o
Would love to get one, and try to modify the backpack to have both types of funnels attached, full compliment.
also people joked that Amuro is at a disadvantage because his Nu Gundam only has one of the Long-Range Funnel while Char and his Sazabi has two of them, but considering how skilled of a pilot Amuro is he still might make it work and fight on equal terms with Char, lol.
“BIG, MEATY, CLAWWWWS!”
I 100% went to Gundam Base Kyoto....and bought this kit.
I just finished building the original RG Sazabi and broke the left shoulder peg as I didn't knew it had such issues, complete bummer. Wish I could get this lobster one and build it right next time. Feels so bad to ruin such a good looking kit.
are the markings that included are stickers or water slide decals?
HK-11月
It literally just came back to bandai premium like a month after i got the rwgualr real grade sazabi
larry the lobster sazabi
This is on PB USA now.
Saw this in Fukuoka Gundam Base was contemplating as i already have RG Sazabi
I'm sure this is just a lobster joke. Sazabi, being its design looks like a lobster and with the big pincher thing 😅
Bandai really should make an entry grade of this kit.
I wonder if they’ll ever make a non-Gundam entry grade kit at all?
@@MechaGaikotsu we can only hope. Guessing its gonna be a zaku 2 as a start.
@@MechaGaikotsu they do have that little doraemon kit arent they?
@@StillNiw they also got Kirby
Damn!
-I do think you should've put the darilbalde next to it, that thing's like a reimagined sazabi-
Edit: I think he lost his darilbalde
I’ll find it soon…
However it is on sale in HLJ 😂
@@MechaGaikotsu it got hijacked by an ant who took it back to HLJ 😂
Awesome kit
This is also on P Bandai too!
suddenly its on pre-order in local P-bandai digital store
This is Gundam Base Exclusive no more!!! For anyone who doesn’t know, this kit will be available on P-Bandai tomorrow in the US.
Gundam Base exclusives appear on PBandai and sold at events but we don't know when they'll reissue.
too bad not canada
I had this pre ordered on Pbandai
dropping on pbandai tonight.
You want to make your super cool robot even cooler
Just give it a railgun
Always works
Still waiting for your RG Nu FF review hehe
The RG Sazabi looks amazing, and many parts of its build are indeed designed well..
But those shoulder joints and the sketchy-ass MS frame for the skirting armor has it sit a bit lower for me. Still a great kit, just not at my personal idea of "Gundarium".
The more they get rid of the MS joint the better these kits get
The skirting armor is fine....it's just ABS plastic. They are tight as hell out of the box. The Nu/Hi Nu fin funnels are prebuilt ABS inner frame, no one complains about those joints getting weak or floppy. I think the bigger problem with older real grades is just the fact that the joints are so thin and fragile compared to the amount of moving parts and crap on top of them. The inner frame of the RX-78-2 is like a stick man, especially compared to the master grade inner frame. It's really not a problem for a simple skirt hinge.
Did you do a review on the PG Astray Red Frame? Cause I hadn’t found any Video :D
$95 on PB? Almost double for the same kit as the regular RG & new weapons w/ effects? Nah mate, hard pass.
Though if anyone wants one jump on PB today in about an hour. 😂
Oh yeah some kits on P-Bandai seem reasonable for exclusive kits then others like Sazabi are just through the roof pricing.
@@viperson9818 you should see canada they are selling this sucker for 175$CAD and we can't go through p bandai itself so most stores sell them at a skyrocketing price
@@theholypopechodeii4367 yup and here’s the best part that’s not including shipping so that’s another 15$ I even saw one store had the GM Spartan for 89.99 so I thought I’ll wing it then I put it in the cart it jumped up to 166$ I thought WTF!?? So the tax was heavy and the shipping was 18$ and yeah not just P Bandai but Gundam kits as a whole is expensive Nu Gundam ver ka goes for 120$ not shipping included it’s sad I’ve had people suggest me other places to try but once I mentioned I’m in Canada and the price situation they just go “oh that sucks” kinda makes me annoyed but the states have it easy
Even one store owner told me we get the tail end of stuff we don’t get too much stock maybe 4-5 kits each kit some online ones gets 4x more but your paying a bit more and even if I tried buying from Japan or the states I’ll just end up paying the same or more because of duty fees
I’m the end I have to save a lot to get good kits that I want
So are they just the guns or is it a whole new real grade gundam
This is about to drop today on USA p bandai today
Guess I'll wait for the 3rd party version of the FF. Same way as Nu and Hi-Nu.
'AR SpongeBob!!! You're spending all me money!!!!
are those holes on the giant funnels the position to set the original Sazabi's funnels?
I already bought the standard version. Now i want the accessories on this one but i Don't want to buy a 2nd one
Omfg that is sick
Anyone else suddenly craving Red Lobster?
When will you review the FF version of the RG Nu Gundam?
Apart from the big-ass fin funnels, what's the difference between this and the regular RG Sazabi?
When are you gonn review the NU FF93?
WHY IS THERE NO NU FF RG REVIEW 😢
Btw have u invested in a metal frame for any of ur kits? They take a smidge of work (filing pegs) but they add that "premium" feel to most kits
The closest I’ve done is add metal hips to the freedom 2.0. Need to give one of those metal frames a go
@@MechaGaikotsu lol I just got one for my rg sazabi. I used one for the mg strike and mg hi nu it's tedious but it's marvelous
Now it’s on pre Bandai
Why’d you have to do this to me. I just found out today that there are a bunch of crazy cool hg graze custom p Bandai kits and now I’m hanging for them, and now I want the god dam crab arms lol. After seeing it in gbo2 and how insane the beams it shoots are and it’s got a new support skill that’s good and the more I look at it I’m thinking I gota get this thing damn it man my wallet is gona be on life support after I get all my graze customs and this thing. Man I shoulda got this thing while it was out pb woulda saved me 100 bucks ☠️
P bandai has this as well
oh? the one about to be added to battle operation? (or how the game's name was again, jus remembering been bad in it ^^;)
which one is better? RG Sazabi or the Sazabi Ver.Ka?
Fun fact still waiting fr the MG Verka review 😅😂😂😂
I got the rg nu gundam a few years back not long after I firsts started building gunpla as it was one of my favourite designs, and I really want a sazabi to go along with it. What would be the best sazabi kit for me to get to pair with the nu?
Still Waiting for them to announce the robot Spirits version of this mobile suit and the full armor hyaku Shiki
I want to see you build RG destiny impluse Gundam?😅 And I want to hear your opinion about that Gundam...
Just got the 93ff but this looks pretty good
“Big Meaty Claws!!”
Beyond the slight color difference and new long-range guns, anything unique vs. the original RG kit? The RX-93ff had updated shoulders and head; anything similar, here?
wondering the same have you found an answer?
Hey Mecha, how come you haven't done the RG Nu Gundam FF yet!? I remember you actually having it!
the kit are literally the same regular RG Nu gundam beside the funnel,i assume its similar to EG Nu ff Gundam's funnel
@@iv2171 comparing a Entry Grade to a Real Grade is like Comparing a Hot Dog lunch with a Rib Eye Steak dinner. Besides the FF for the RG Nu Gundam is bound to be more complex than the EG version
@@SRWOtaku i forgor to add that 💀my bad
