BACK THEN, people are going mad through the many many core gundams. NOW, people are going mad because of the need for more Core Gundam 2. Isnt it IRONIC.
Agreed. This kit is from a "toy comercial" anime. Bandai and Sunrise may have expected us to actually watch the show and then buy the toys/kits. That's why they avoid spoilers as much as possible.
They're likely going to release this kit again somewhere along the line (The Silver looking variant without any stickers from it looks like) and probably effect parts because whynot.
The box boiling Hiroto down to him meeting Eve and how important his time with her was is pretty significant, considering Eve wanted to explore the universe with him and he built the armor in her color scheme.
I second that... I mean if we take the pricing of the kits Core Gundam 1 $9 ( based on earth three's price of 17 - armor at the low end of 8) Core Gundam 2 $12 (based on uraven 20 -8 for armor) Planet armors roughly $8-9 each (64-72) Planet weapons which I'm gonna say 7( so 56) as I see them go for 6.99 you're looking at an estimate of $143 -151usd This is leaving out any other armors like the rize this soley the planet armors. And knowing bandai they will make it p bandai so maybe add another 25 to 50 dollars so little over 200 dollars
Ohhh like the all 6th forms of barbatos but THAT THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE AND YOU NEED TO BUT THE EXTRA PACK (i forgot the extra pack called) THAT HAVE 3 MORE BARBATOR GUNDAM FRAME THATS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A 1/144 RG STRIKE PACK jeezz it ain't worth it

Tesla-Effect Yes that is a flaw in the new line, however this review was specifically about the new Nepeight Gundam and it was spent mostly talking about the Core Gundam II and barely about the Nepeight Armor itself. Making it unclear how much how good or bad the Nepeight itself actually is.
@@Levian-we4zg Because not much changed. It's pretty much you're typical core Gundam Armor. So he didn't have much to say that hasn't been said before.

All they had to do to justify the "DLC" packs is sell the V.1 and V.2 of the Core Gundam separately as well. I have the six different cores, I'm not going to get the armor sets.
@@fraser7211 That does sound cute... heck, they could of used that to make a Bear Guy armor for Core Gundam. XD Pluto already has a giant heart on it.
The core gundam 2's parts will still be weak. You'll have to buy an earthree core gundam and cannibalize the ankles, arm frames, hands, extending torso, and polycaps.
@@Cornchips-om5rf The core gundam 2's joints are the exact same as the original core gundam's. Unless the mold itself degraded (which it shouldn't, it usually takes several years/reprints), there was probably just an off batch or something.
@@OtonashiV maybe, but the leg docker ports didn't fit right and were loose on both mine and mecha's kits, leading me to believe that it was the white parts molded wrong.
@@Cornchips-om5rf those dock parts are also from the OG Core Gundam runners. The only original parts on the core gundam 2 are cosmetic. The docking points for my copy is fairly tight. Maybe the initial batch was defective for some reason?
So in short terms..... Mercuone: Underwater combat Veetwo: Long range combat Earthree: Improved basic functions Marsfour: Close quater combat Jupitive: Space combat Saturnix: Overwhelming power attacks Uraven: Sniping Nepteight: Space exploration
You've got the best videos man I've watched so many. You've gotten myself and my brother into building. Informative and mostly hilarious. Thanks brother. Look forward to seeing more.
Selling the weapons separately i'm fine with but each armor REALLY should've included a Core to equip it. Heck, they should've just sold the Core by itself.
Am just gonna fucking ask what the hell did he do to the poor guys knee joint NONE of my 4 core gundams have that issue Maybe its just me but I think this review is wack
@@kimarykorlumiose7728 I play around with my Core Gundam 2 a lot, switching it between the different armors and posing it and whatnot, and I don't have any problems with it.
Almost as if he broke the joints inside. Sure, my Core II isn’t as solid as my Core G3 (the only original Core I have) but it’s nowhere near the level in this review
I mean.... dragging and hold Gunpla by the legs is a sure way to make them lose (Hence why most modelers advice hold kits at the torso or waist), also the stickers are justified cause it would still silver sticker under clear fluorescent yellow plastic and that would drive the kit's price way more than the other armors and miss the main point of the line, which is to be affordable?
The 2 arm weapons are beam blasters and the lower part of the backpack can be pulled down and connect to the lower (wing?) section to turn it into a full ring.
After watching Ep 25 of Build Divers Re:Rise I can in fact tell you how absolutely amazing this Gundam was at being used once and then discarded for the Jupitive. Like seriously that’s what happened.
I think the reason why core gundam 2 might be so flimsy is because of all the extra bulk it has to support. The older armor systems where mostly more slim and sleek (except for veetwo and jupitive) but now these 3 newer armors are really bulky and maybe through excessive posing and articulation the joints got a lot weaker than core Gundam. But I don’t know that’s just my theory and it might be wrong cause the unarmored core Gundam 2 also seems fairly flimsy
Seeing this review motivated me to get my Uraven from the shelf and reinforce all those joints. Don't know what they did between Core Gundam 1 and 2 especially when you notice that most of the loose joints come from the old runners. Even the beam saber handles on the backpack are weak on mine not sure if this is happening to anyone else.
biggest thing that I can recommend to fix the problems of the Core 2 Gundam is to basically cover the bottom waist polycap with a generous amount of tack, and for the legs, i personally took the ankle sections from my standard Core Gundam that broke, but a healthy amount of glue should work too.
Ryan Maliwat that said, EarThree's fin design has a slight fitting issue with Core II's head, especially due to the Core II's v-fin. I know, I've tried.
The naming of the armirs is based on the JAPANESE names for the planets. Mercury is literally the water planet in japanese and it explains why Mercuone was built in mind for aqua ops. Mars is the fire planet so thats why marsfour is red and predominantly uses heat based melee weaponry too
Hey, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but it was revealed in the most recent episode that the Saturnix was designed to take down Gundam Frames. AKA IBO Gundams. They even make a reference that it looks like it could “take down a few demons”.
*watching mecha's core gundam 2 have a flimsy body* Me: I really can't relate I have two core gundam II’s and neither have been flimsy ^^; if anything both have been sturdy af even after playing around excessively (I even tried making a mobile armor formation for the uraven)
Christopher Tadeo ooo it’ll be a fun build! Be careful of the shield tho! It’s easy to break. Love the reviews as always Mecha Gaikotsu! Hope you find a sturdy uraven ^^;
My theory will be that this Armor will be used for an interpanetary travel in the anime, probably the big bad boss targeting earth next. Much like Stargazer it's non combat oriented.
Nah, targeting Earth impossible. Especially when the distance between Earth and Eldora is hundreds, or thousands (I can't remember) light years away. Until this day I haven't seen any weapon in sci-fi that could reach a target from 1 light year. So yeah, no way Alus can targeting Earth.

@@twilight_phantom2969 No point in trying to tell that to someone like them, they think anyone in a relationship is a simp and you won't change their mind with logic
My Core Gundam 2 is still solid, the only problem I had out of the box was that new shield that you also complained about in the Uraven review. However a little super glue to the sides of the pegs it uses to connect and now it's like a rock. I think because they made CG2 have a ball jointed torso instead of a peg in hole design made some kits weaker
I was very excited you reviewed this so early, i was very excited about this design because it looks great. Now I'm sad... By the way, in the Stargazer OVA, which this design is based on, the Voiture Lumiere system creates these little green ring things around it that will destroy anything that comes close enough, so i guess you could call that a weapon. Stargazer wasn't designed for combat to begin with though, in the OVA it took a civilian Astray's beam pistol.
My Core Gundam II is actually really solid, the waist polycap was kind of loose but I was just able to use a tighter one from another kit that had a spare. Besides that, its solid as a rock.
It should've been either an aquaman/underwater version with a trident, or have some adjustments. Like work more on the v fin, add beam rifle, sabers, and green rings like the stargazer.
I have 2 Core Gundam II’s, the first one I built is extremely weak at the waist, mainly when armor is attached, so much so it could disintegrate just by breathing on it. I found it’s the polycap ball joints that join the waist into the torso, they just can’t support the extra weight. When I built the second one, I left some of the nubs sticking out on those polycaps and it seems to have tightened things up a fair deal. I love the look of the Nepteight more than any other Planets armor so I’m still gonna get one, hopefully my less disintegraty Core II can handle it.
I guess you haven't seen Stargazer yet. The Stargazer gundam doesn't need to move in order to attack with its backpack. It created beam rings around it and can either launch or bend the beam to attack its target. The stargazer doesn't move an inch when it attacks (except for navigation purposes of course).
Watched this to get ideas of how to pose this monstrosity. Try to make him not look crucified ! Every flimsy bit was exactly what I experienced... like an hour ago. Hell, I screamed when you clicked the armors rings in. My exact thought of, oh, it clicked into something
So I've used plumber's tape on the joints of the HG Barbatos Lupus Rex and it tightened up those leg joints really well.. it is a bit fiddly to work with but it's a great non destructive way of tightening up joints with something very inexpensive.
Parts from Stargazer's Solar sail (halo) and Backpack from Gundam X. Not bad for a option set for the unit. Im buying the whole set for my soon to be mine Core gundam 2
4:49 Well you gotta wait till next January till they release the Core Gundam MK2 Titans Color and the G3 color (both are just Core Gundam without a planet Sistem)
Watch other reviews too, for the love of god don't go of one person's opinion of a kit and judge it by that I missed out on many great kits because of that
the second joint of the legs and arms has a tendency to get loose fast but tighten the joint up directly by using either super glue or paint. that’s what works for my Core Gundam. reply me if i made any mistakes while putting this together so i can make it easier to understand.
FYI: The Stargazer Gundam was never meant for combat, but was meant for space exploration and a testing machine for the voiture lumiere system, thus the theory why the nepteight weapons was unamed.
Maybe it also has a defense mechanism equipment like the Stargazer
Actually, the hand things are titled "beam guns" but there's no name for the backpack
Dunno why, but i think it would be on defensive role 😂
Well remember Eve saying that she want to travel the universe? Stargazer was meant for that so it make sense it is the last armor
I think hiroto will trapped in eldora and use nepteight to return to earth
When you realize that this was probably built by Hiroto after Eve suggested to travel together through GBN all the way to the edge of the universe. 😭

I think its for exploring the gbn,maybe looking for his girl?
@@reyvelmarcello466 hiroto is a massive simp
Nah, targeting Earth impossible. Especially when the distance between Earth and Eldora is hundreds, or thousands (I can't remember) light years away. Until this day I haven't seen any weapon in sci-fi that could reach a target from 1 light year. So yeah, no way Alus can targeting Earth.
@@pacolai5536 Simp imply's the relationship was one sided, but their relationship seemed fairly balanced. He just went kind of unstable after she died.
@@twilight_phantom2969 No point in trying to tell that to someone like them, they think anyone in a relationship is a simp and you won't change their mind with logic
i don't think ive ever seen a kit make you give up on video so hard
this was a needed review even if it caused you pain
Me: Mikazuki died 🧠⚡️😤
Gundam info: 🤯 you didn’t know
Mechagaikotsu: Barbatos rexxxx
What?
My Core Gundam 2 is still solid, the only problem I had out of the box was that new shield that you also complained about in the Uraven review. However a little super glue to the sides of the pegs it uses to connect and now it's like a rock. I think because they made CG2 have a ball jointed torso instead of a peg in hole design made some kits weaker
12:02 Jesus lying on the cross ??? BCE
I was very excited you reviewed this so early, i was very excited about this design because it looks great. Now I'm sad...
By the way, in the Stargazer OVA, which this design is based on, the Voiture Lumiere system creates these little green ring things around it that will destroy anything that comes close enough, so i guess you could call that a weapon. Stargazer wasn't designed for combat to begin with though, in the OVA it took a civilian Astray's beam pistol.
i was just thinking about how i was waiting for this review this morning!!
Loved seeing the other core gundams in these armours you really teased me there mecha lol
Ngl that stargazer backpack looks epic tho..
I think imma grab one of that and stick it on my jupitive, they're in the same white tone although
My Core Gundam II is actually really solid, the waist polycap was kind of loose but I was just able to use a tighter one from another kit that had a spare. Besides that, its solid as a rock.
It should've been either an aquaman/underwater version with a trident, or have some adjustments. Like work more on the v fin, add beam rifle, sabers, and green rings like the stargazer.
I have 2 Core Gundam II’s, the first one I built is extremely weak at the waist, mainly when armor is attached, so much so it could disintegrate just by breathing on it. I found it’s the polycap ball joints that join the waist into the torso, they just can’t support the extra weight. When I built the second one, I left some of the nubs sticking out on those polycaps and it seems to have tightened things up a fair deal.
I love the look of the Nepteight more than any other Planets armor so I’m still gonna get one, hopefully my less disintegraty Core II can handle it.
Mecha you forgot to pull down the piece near the center in the backpack to make it really look like a circle.
I guess you haven't seen Stargazer yet. The Stargazer gundam doesn't need to move in order to attack with its backpack. It created beam rings around it and can either launch or bend the beam to attack its target. The stargazer doesn't move an inch when it attacks (except for navigation purposes of course).
Missed the fact the bottom of the backpack also extends but still a good video like always keep doing what you do.
Watched this to get ideas of how to pose this monstrosity. Try to make him not look crucified ! Every flimsy bit was exactly what I experienced... like an hour ago. Hell, I screamed when you clicked the armors rings in. My exact thought of, oh, it clicked into something
Lay tissue paper in the ball joint sockets that will tighten it up nicely without risking any superglue accidents
My Core 2 definitely has the lose torso issue, but my legs are pretty solid and don't wobble.
To avoid annoyances with core gundam 2 ima use the armour on Earthree gundam
10:55 :me when I'm posing the MG wing zero custom
Hands down best Gundam/meme channel on the internet. Recently just got back into Gundam and I've been watching all your HG videos, great job bro.
So I've used plumber's tape on the joints of the HG Barbatos Lupus Rex and it tightened up those leg joints really well.. it is a bit fiddly to work with but it's a great non destructive way of tightening up joints with something very inexpensive.
I don’t know man I’ve had zero problems with my Core Gundam II although I haven’t posed mine as much as you have
9:11 looks like Steve's got a little brother
Parts from Stargazer's Solar sail (halo) and Backpack from Gundam X. Not bad for a option set for the unit.
Im buying the whole set for my soon to be mine Core gundam 2
Now i feel super glad that i train my metalic painting skill couse i dont want to waste that totaly awesome desighn
Nice review! Love your videos!
4:49 Well you gotta wait till next January till they release the Core Gundam MK2 Titans Color and the G3 color (both are just Core Gundam without a planet Sistem)
Now we need ya boy pluto! Can't wait to see the Nepteight Gundam in the anime.
Hey, at least Anima Rize's Core Gundam is Core Gundam I! Yay!
They did the instruction like that to avoid spoilers, because the show was put on hold for a month due to cv19, it just got up again three weeks ago.
Thank you so much for these reviews I just started getting into the hobby
Watch other reviews too, for the love of god don't go of one person's opinion of a kit and judge it by that
I missed out on many great kits because of that
Origin Bidan I do
the second joint of the legs and arms has a tendency to get loose fast but tighten the joint up directly by using either super glue or paint. that’s what works for my Core Gundam. reply me if i made any mistakes while putting this together so i can make it easier to understand.
If this were before 2006, there would be plutine armor ( pluto + nine )
Mechanic you forgot the bottom of the backpack next to the butt flaps pull down and you will get full ring or circle
Can't say that mine has a weak waist or knees, but the part that attaches to the back was weak. Used a bit of glue and now it's pretty tight.
