Really love this kit. It's like a mix between the most outlandish Armored Core and a UC Gundam antagonist mobile suit. Makes sense since it's designed by the genius behind Armored Core 4 Answer's visual designs. Always wanted an AC model kit and this is probably the most stable one that...isn't one lol Also Bandai making the effects stand separate is bad, yeah, but not as bad as making the Qubeley's effect parts P-Bandai
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees a lot of Titans design notes in this thing. The arquebus immediately made me think of the Fedayeen rifle, the legs give me strong Hambrabi vibes, and those shoulder units and the colour overall really remind me of the Byarlant.
"Even when its just standing still"....... As opposed to those other gunplas that move around the house on their own xD I get what you mean though, but taken literally that is quite the funny remark :')
@@ApenBaard Yeah. Apparently, English is not my first language so I was kinda having a hard time choosing which words to use. What I meant though, is that it still looks beautiful even when not in an action pose, just like in the anime when it was shown coming out of Peil's Academic Vessel in episode 6. Visually imposing machine.
@@m_0714 Oh, it was a perfectly correct english sentence as far as I am aware. Im not a native english speaker either and im sure even a native speaker wouldve made such a "mistake", if you can even call it that. I would be surprised if anyone wouldnt have understood what you meant. I was just pointing out that, taken literaly, what you said, was funny, at least to me. Nothing to worry about dude its fine. Your english is great! You couldve left the word "still" away and your original comment wouldve been 100% correct. Just adding the word still implied it was not moving. Which...why would you mention that if not for the fact that some others do move? Get what I am saying? :p but its SUCH a small technicality most would probably just read over it without noticing. And if anyone does, obviously gunpla dont move on their own so obviously you mean as opposed to being dynamicaly posed. Its not a major miscommunication or anything :p
It's interesting on the beam saber that in the show it draws it out from the left forearm with its left hand. Basically rotates the hand into a super unnatural position and pulls it out. It's about the 14:40 mark of Episode 6.
This comes from the French word "arquebuse" (roughly ark-ur-byz... I guess...) Pretty tricky for an English-speaking tongue to pronounce, but hilarious to hear you trying for French ears!
I’ve been snagging up a lot of the HGs from this line which is RARE for me. I’m a big MG guy. These kits are great. Bandai really is knocking it out of the park for me with this line.
My first and only kit is a MG RX-78 ver3.0 and was thinking of keeping things in scale for the future kit but after looking at G-Witch HG kits I have gotten almost all of them ordered
the Pharact is a Gundam designed by the same mechanical designer who worked on the Armored Core series hence the design being a deviation from the traditional Gundam design.
Don't think the manual properly mentioned that the sticker in the head was optional. It looks better without. Personally i kept only the top part of the sticker and let the red piece doe its magic
Seeing the extra open pegs on these WFM kits, they are begging for kit bashing. I’m probably going to make a back log of this line and duplicates to make all sorts of wacky customs to help get my start into painting.
Zup Zak, been watching the anime and it’s pretty cool, the story behind the pilot is interesting and evil. I like the design, it’s different. Thanks for the video bro 😎👍🏼
The proportions and design reminds me of neon genesis evangelion. On a side note I love this design bc it looks badass, cold, calm, cool, and intimidating, kinda like batman/the dark knight
I built this kit, and i agree... the c-clips are simply horrendous, it makes posing the kit filled with anxiety of stressing the connector, even though the gundam itself is pretty cool... Apparently, the WFM kit i got is just the Pharact... does all WFM kit over utilize C-clips even on their crucial part such as ankle, elbow, backpack, etc? If yes, I'd probably skip them and get wait for the last form of Aerial to pose with this :p
@@nickochioneantony9288 ive built the aerial. the c-clips on the knee and elbows seems fine for now. the clip ankles like to come off if u overextend the range of movement. the knee and elbow joints have a cover so they kinda dont get stressed the wrong way. while the pharact backpack and binder clips are open clips
You said it looks like the Byarlant ?! Nonsense .... Look at the happy shoulders ... Its the Tellus from armored core ........... in fact its the same mecha designer , :P
@@14bis42 the point being, it's not nonsense that it looks like the thing from the same franchise, an RX-series mobile suit, that probably did in fact inspire it and if the Tellus has does have design similarties, it's more likely that it, too, took some inspiration from the Byarlant.
For those who wish to display the Pharact using the beak foot, the SB-13 beams can be used and they fit quite smoothly

Now that I've gotten into painting, I appreciate you informing of potential seam lines, as well as tips like cutting that leg piece in half.

I built the hg byarlant right before this and thought the same
I have one and this beauty has a really strong shelf presence even when it's not in an action pose and just standing still. Such a truly great design.

The clear parts along with reflective red ish glowing stickers pretty much like a Christmas-bulb decorations. 🎄
The solid HG from TWFM ever!

Now that you mentioned it, I wonder if I can steal some of the Pharact's parts to swap with a standard Bylarant to make a discount Bylarant Custom...
also the slots in the arm can let you "lock" the saber inplace pointing to the front for the classic AC1 style of blades...

Exactly what I did, I also put some metallic red on the eyes and GUND system

Reminds me of the Kabakali from G-reco. A mix of that and the Barbatos.

“Happy birthday to you.”
This thing is like Gundam x Armored Core x Evangelion, and I love it.
I have a question about the stand where do you buy it from
The proportions and design reminds me of neon genesis evangelion. On a side note I love this design bc it looks badass, cold, calm, cool, and intimidating, kinda like batman/the dark knight
This thing looks like it could have been in Zeta, and fit perfectly.
those bad and overuse of c-clips prevented me from getting it

while the pharact backpack and binder clips are open clips
I think you built the ankle joint on the wrong side as it does not seem flush in (did this my first time).
What's a good way to change the stickers color for the leg parts . Should I paint it ? I need suggestions.
that just some buffed Flag unit from 00 series
the Pharact kinda looks like a lanky old man.
You said it looks like the Byarlant ?!
Nonsense ....
Look at the happy shoulders ...
Its the Tellus from armored core ........... in fact its the same mecha designer , :P
the Byarlant predates Armored Core 4 by like 20 years, lol
@@LordofCicadas , hmmm , yes ...I know , I was there .
your point is ...?🤔

witch from mercury is the worst gunpla line
Then What’s the best gunpla line in your opinion?🤔
