Mg 2.0 RX-78 is one of my favorite kits ever. This was my first master grade.
The 2.0 was really special
Wing Zero EW ver. KA was my first MG and made me love gunpla even more. I will re-visit it when my skills have increased to do it justice.
Would you make a list of hardest Master Grades next? You know, for builders who want to test their skills.
Might not be next but will add to my scripting list thanks 🙏
Deep strike, psychozaku, fazz ver ka, full armor gundam, strike Rouge, transformer types and most the ones that have elaborate, heavy and/or articulated backpacks. Especially kits that have a normal version but also an upgraded kit. They usually don't re engineer kits for the extra stuff. It can really affect balance, posing and parts staying to connected
If you haven't tried any RG kits they are a good test and learning tool. They're highly detailed, have as many or more parts than a MG and have a full inner frame.
I'd also suggest choosing a kit that has you quick drawing your wallet. Look at reviewers on youtube and take notes on what they say isn't good. Get a couple opinions as well.
A lot of those guys are just clip, fit and panel line. Mostly base their review on right out the Box status. Some of them want kits to be an action figure.. they usually show busted fins, armor panels that fall off and joints that are weak. I glue most knee armor on. Because if you can't easily take a kit apart to pose the individual sections you of have thumbs on the knees as you pose the legs. Quite a few don't just bend. they have staggered bending and knee pads that travel.
Nearly every kit has color correcting stickers which trigger non painters. As well dark plastic without undergate casting. It's very difficult to fix discolored plastic. There's also pretty easy solutions to most situations where a kit has problems
@@nofuxgivens2797 thanks for taking the time to write a big pointer for everyone. I'm sure it will help many hobbyist who watch this video. I like my kits to be out of the box with some work done to them, like painting the pilots, panel line and glow in the dark paint to some areas. To me the kits are not action figures, that's why when I do reviews I don't really talk much about articulation. I like to display them one at a time, mostly standing poses, unless they have wings then on an action base but in a dynamic way, to me they're between statue and action figures so I treat them like works of art. Gundam reviews are my favorite videos to watch on UA-cam. My favorite are @jabman025 and @redheadphones6, who are your favorite?
@@nofuxgivens2797 when he mentioned that list, I was thinking of those kits and yes that's a good point rehashing kits and sticking something new without thinking of the balance. Would you like a shout-out when that videos made?
I just finished my first kit and it was the MG Deathscythe Roussette, and it was freaking amazing, had a ton of fun building it and looking forward to my next project. Can't talk for everyone but for me it was a great introductory kit.
Awesome thanks for sharing!
I’ll be honest, I’m only watching this for the background “wows, yays, and ahhs”. I love the “Ooo!” @3:24. They have become my asmr lol.
😂😂😂🤣 looks like my videos can reach a wider audience thanks
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel Been loving them from the start, brother lol. Keep up the great work. I’m enjoying your videos!
Yes I will, next video will be a new stuff. so not much wows in them. But hope you like it.
The HG barbatos was my first kit and I’m currently working on the MG of him as my first and it’s amazing
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Master grade Heavy Arms was my second build and probably still one of my favorite looking gundams
Nice, it’s a good kit, so good that there are knockoffs
Great list! My first Master Grade is Zaku Lunamaria. I'm loving the design and imo the coolest zaku variation. Second is my fav Freedom 2.0 and the third is Eclipse. I'm on hunting for MG Age 1 of any type. 😤
Happy hunting
I'm doing the nu Gundam ver ka now and have to say I don't see it being difficult and honestly I won't even paint it besides a matte top coat to protect the panel lines and decals. It looks great as is.
Nu Gundam ver ka is my favourite MG. No Gunpla is not difficult. For the Nu Gundam it’s a longer build, and more technical, with lots of small parts. Btw I have a video on making the beam saber pop out on the forearm like the rg please check it out:
ua-cam.com/video/lhY3BAUd5KE/v-deo.html
Glad to see the Freedom 2.0 here! It’s currently sitting on my hobby table waiting to be built!
Awesome kit, so good I want to build it again… maybe I’ll get the justice. As they say be weary of the waist unit.
Just bought my first MG the 00 sniper will build it soon
Of the 3 new mg 00 kits the dynemus is my favourite
I just did Wing Zero Ver Ka and Zeta Ver Ka I would say later Ver Ka are safe for beginners just take it slow don't rush them and clean the nubs.
Yeah… take your time don’t rush is the key to any kit really good advise
Really glad I found your channel yesterday. Watched about 6 videos and subbed after the 2nd. Your videos are very informative and very chill. Kinda funny too. A joy to watch/listen to. Thanks!
Thanks for the support, have not put out a video recently because in not well at the moment but will get back at it asap
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel keeping my eye out for a new one. Get well soon!
@@geo0711 thanks, just released one recently. Will upload another one next month
Master grade is my mainline kit and my very first MG is the Zeta plus. I remember being amazed with the inner workings of the legs (and the frustration of the transforming hip) but I fell in love with this Model line. Great video as always.
Thanks... Mg is my all time favorite line... I'm a little upset at the new rg hi nu for being better than the mg. But I'm going to say the mg still better 😂 the zeta 2.0 is one of my favorites
Hahaha you too huh. I do hate that the RG Hi Nu looks better than the MG ver ka as well. But oh well. That's bandai.
Maybe Bandai can come up with a Hi-Nu 2.0 that be rad.
I feel the same way. One day, the MG Titus will be mine !
Alright!!!
I’ve made 7 HGs just finished my first RG (started this hobby around Christmas) and I have 2 more and I also have a MG Star Build Strike RG Systems waiting for me. I don’t care if it’s a big kit I’m gonna build it
Nice! It looks rad with the extension and shine a uv light on it!
Tan conmadres todos los gundams!
Good video 👍
Gracias!
My 12 year old son and I have built 6 HGs and just got our first MG Blitz Gundam... decent price and different look compared to the others. Wish us luck! 🤞🫡
That's a good beginner kit. I think it's the earliest SEED MG. I wish you guys the Toyama23 mantra: Keep things awesome, Keep the hobby going and keep the hobbyists alive!
4 hgs in and I’m trying my hand at my first mg - gpo2a. I’m pretty nervous because it’s such an old kit but it’s my favorite gundam ever!
Treat it like you’re building a period piece and you’ll enjoy it. Was quite a kit back in the day. I’m holding up for a mg gpo3 2.0 … love the stamen.
Late, but wanted to say, Wing Zero Ver ka is absolutely not a beginner kit, especially the kits problems with the wing joints tending to crack overtime meaning you'll need to do some fixing to make it hold up. Instead, the MG Proto Zero is a better choice, easy to build, posable, heck of a looker. Id also add the GM Sniper Custom as my personal pick. Good price, tons of accessories, really cool olive drab green color scheme. I would also say the Gundam X or Double X if one can find it, also fun first builds especially with an awesome shelf presence.
You’re right, that’s why I have the wing proto zero listed in my pick.Guys listen to this guy!!
I just picked up the Gelgoog 2.0 I can’t wait to jump in on it
Cant wait to see you make a video out of it, if that’s your plan Jordan no pressure, wow another UA-camrs watching my video. Anyone else reading the comments Check out @MJRLHobbysStuff
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel thank you! I will make a vid review. Interesting, I got it second hand from a guy that sold me 2 that were both open. I haven’t gone through them yet to see if I’ll actually make a complete kit…I’ll find out soon enough
#toyama23 I built Epyon as my first MG because I love the design. It's the perfect devil to Wing Zero's angel
It’s a great MG… one day I’ll get it. Love the wing gimmick
careful when wanting to seperate the leg from the hip bc the J4 piece can break. found it out the hard way
Thanks… which kit?
The Jesta was the first MG I built so far
Good start, full inner frame, a solid kit! I once had a unbuild jesta sold it for cash… today I miss it. I use to think jegan was a silly kit, i was wrong.
Wing zero VerKa is my first MG. Haven’t open it yet because it’s so pretty and I just built entry grade rx78-2. So I wanna build a few 1/144 before I dip my toes into MG :)))
Alright! Build the skill, and anticipation!
I just finished the MG Freedom Gundam 2.0 yesterday, now I'll build the MG Barbatos Titanium Finish in the next 2/3 weeks
One great kit to another... You're going go have a blast with the Barbatos
Deathscythe EW was mine
So uh, #Toyama23 here. My first MG was my 5th or so kit, and was the Epyon. Had no idea what I was doing but looked at a few reviews and was like "I guess I can do this?" I picked it because I was rewatching Wing at the time and I liked the idea of the big spread wings (and giant beam sword) for shelf presence.
I mean, I DID and I still love it, but there are absolutely easier/better MG kits out there! I learned a lot from that kit, though, like supergluing those darn leg spikes so they stay on :-p
Awesome, thanks for sharing your story. I agree learning to glue them stuff is quite a handy skill.
Got my first MG today and it's the MGEX Strike Freedom. I'm mega ambitious.
Power to you! I think if I made a mgex for beginners list, strike freedom will be top 2.
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel all I know is the build is gonna be super fun. It's most certainly not a beginner kit but I think if you want to just do it.
The first master grade i build is mg wing zero ver.ka, building it not that difficult but decaling it need more patience.
I know right, building Gunpla is not the hard part. Cultivating the patience is what needs time to hone.
My first mg was the sazabi ver ka
Awesome kit. You pro
about the MG epyon, for the beginners be REALLY CAREFUL at the heat whip the part can snap in one go
Beginners need to listen to this hobbyists!
Bandai is actually reissuing the entire Age line!
I recently saw the HG being reissued. Will they release the mg too? If so thats awesome
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel I hope so! I've been eyeing a Sparrow for a while now!
My only gunpla is an MG Epyon.
There’s just something about the ‘Next’.
Next?
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel That’s what Epyon means. As in the Next Generation Of Gundam.
Ah yes I see now… 🤯
I just got into gunpla bc my japanese gf told me ..Actually i am 12 but we have the same hobby so we kinda build it together and my parents only allow me to build hg so can you pls make the top 10 hg? I would love to see you talk about and Gunpla are kinda expensive n my country(in myanmar it cost almost about like 60000 just for 2 ) so please i would love to see you talk about Hg and see your option on which one to buy
Well got you covered!

Share my videos with your gf, I wanna know if a Japanese builder agrees with my pick. And Share with your friends coz we need more people to build Gunpla! Thanks for watching my videos!
for me the first i got mg is force impulse gundam seed
I like the core splendour
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel yes model lama kn yg saya suka effect sword impulse dn sword skali
How difficult is the MGSD Freedom in comparison to "normal MG"? Because that's my first and only MG that i build. Only got interested into gunpla a month ago with the RG line.
If you have no problems building the MGSD freedom you shouldn’t have a problem building a mg, the difference might be a regular mg has a longer build, just savour the build and enjoy the process.
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel Thanks for the answer! The only "problem" I have with the MGSD Freedom is the very stiff joints (makes sound when i move them) for posing when done. But no difficulty with the building process.
Was wondering or I should use sand paper and take a little bit off the joints. Haven't done it yet because that would be irreversible. Also thought about dropping some WD40 on the joints. But unsure or the chemicals in WD40 damages the plastic.
For now I left it as is, hoping that playing around with it for a bit that the joints might lossen up eventually (like ERS).
LOL my first MG kit was the Unicorn Gundam OVA
Ahh beautiful kit
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel yep, sure!! But you are damn right when you said about beginning with smaller mg kits, as I began with a relatively tall gundam, I couldn't feel that "wow" factor in small kits in the beginning. Fortunately now I can appreciate it 😁.
My first master grade was the mgex unicorn gundam and man I wouldn't recommend that as a first mg lmao I literally only built 1 hg before going to that lol it came out great though
You sir are bold!
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel It looked so cool and I couldn't resist lol but now I'm building the mg 2.p freedom gundam and it seems like a breeze in comparison lol. I have the ver. Ka nu gundam next after that. I'm thinking if eventually getting the perfect grade unleashed gundam. I want the mgex strike freedom, if I can get it lol
Freedom 2.0 is a great kit. Simple build but stunning wingspan! I love my ver ka nu gundam if you have not watch my modification video for the nu gundam please check it out! Yeah PGU reminded me of my first few videos. One day I need to get it.
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel ohh yeah I'll check it out. Nd I love the wings and that blue color on them for the freedom 2.0
Wing zero ver ka feels fragile tho, i broke the hands
Yeah, true with many ver ka kits, that’s why it was not in my original recommendation list.
Wing gundam ver ka for beginners? No thanks
That’s why it’s not in my original list
@@Toyama23HobbyChannel oh ok 👌
Why would anyone recommend Epyon. Its my 1st ever MG and i almost got insane while building it. And the decals make it worst. I almost dont want to build MG ever again. Thankfully, my 2nd MG is Wing zero custom (2004) which was 10x easier than Epyon
I don’t know why it happens, I didn’t think it’s a good idea… but it happens. Glad the wing zero custom works for you!
