You’d think that fancy bad guy mobile suits like the pente and michaelis are designed by McQuve from another dimension: michaelis is the perfect knight, pente is the perfect shield
@@a.p.studios8713 that wouldn't be surprising. Not only the design queues are different but also for Pharact they're far more aggresive. Every time I see the Pharact I can't imagine any Gundam OST. I, instead, imagine Armored Core 4 Answer's OST. Whoever hired the mechanical designer deserves a raise.
Best part about Grassley mobile suits is they legitimately feel like a threat to the Gundam. You saw what an ace pilot equipped with the antidote can do to a Gundam. The unique feet on the pente and beu give a bird of prey kind of feel too which lends to the impression that these mobile suits are both built for agility and are purely offensive.
I really wish bandai would ramp up production for these twfm kits. Its still incredibly difficult to find these in the states without paying the absurd import prices.
Two things to note: that wrist connection on the shield is the exact same way the Beguir Beu connects it's bayonettes to it's hands. Secondly if you don't want to use the effect stand for the shield, it should have sufficient strength to hold the Pente up too, if it's anything like the one that comes with the Beu.
I was really disappointed that they didn't make the fins on the heads detachable They actually only attach those fins in duels in the anime, so I was expecting something similar to the Demi Trainer heads Oh and the clear purple plastic underneath the stickers on the backpack are there so that you can build them with the Antidote system turned off, just like how you get the option to choose from green and purple for the stickers on the shield Those parts are purple when it is turned off and start to glow green only when it is turned on So yeah I guess you can say that those green ones are optional
@@LunaZerOmega You need to pre-order months in advance for brand new kits. Same is true *everywhere* and they're one of the few Japanese retailers willing or able to sell Bandai outside Japan. This isn't an HLJ isolated problem. Bandai don't have the stock to meet global demand.
I really hope Bandai reprints these kits at some point so they won’t end up like the reconguista in g kits, aka, becoming excruciatingly rare 10 years on.
@@hakdog4299 have you been able to get one? I have been trying so hard to get one in my country but it's either unavailable or just downright too expensive for this kit.
@@YU_ZU98 i somefuckinhow randomly found Lfrith last month in my local shopping mall at normal price, there was only 3 of it on stock, grab 1 for my self and i was back next week and the 2 left are already gone lol. i was really lucky, everyone selling lfrith online to this day still marked up like $10 more here in where i live
I can imagine the Pente flying up to a Gundam with that cross-shaped shield and yelling ”The power of Christ compels you!!!” while the Antidote activates
If anyone doesn't know, you can put beam effect part at the barrel of beam rifle (very handy for someone who want to do a stop-motion) and this feature wasn't even mentioned in the instruction manual of this kit... Update : if anyone wonder where I know about this hidden feature? I got to know this "hidden feature" from some reviewers in Japan...
When I get my hands on some I want to paint two to stand guard for the Michaelus and give them a Praetorian Guard look with a scorpion design on the shield
A friend of mine who watched WfM amwhen i showed it to him and he said that the color scheme reminded him of Janemba from that one Dragonball movie and now i cannot unsee it.
Hi Mecha Gaikotsu, I recently bought the Perfect Grade Strike Freedom Gundam, it hasn't arrived yet, but I'd really like to see a video of yours reviewing that perfect grade kit, thanks for taking your time to read my comment!.
He sounds exasperated which I’m assuming he actually is. Seems like the move and general life situation might be taking a lot out of him. I wish him the best!!
The Shady Diq Harem MS with their Antidote Jet Stream attack. Also used by Plant Quetta guards. Also, antidote users be gangsta and scary... until Lfrith Ur goes Permet 4 without committing Happy Birthday, and/or Aerial going Permet 6.
Literally just built this like 5 minutes ago. Yes at first I don't like it since im not a fan of the head and the feet. But shit when you're done building it the kit is really good.
Honestly the only thing making me want this is the shield alone. Now I need a big sword and I can make a hg dark souls gundam. Maybe aerial with pharact’s backpack, a big sword and the pente’s shield
You'll find similar shipping with any other Japanese retailer. You're lucky in the US because last I checked you had Blue Fin Distribution... And Bandai supply you guys pretty well by comparison to Europe.

They also give me a similar vibe to stuff like Ghirarga and Zeydra from AGE. Sorta insectoid or reptilian. Creepy and unfamiliar.
"purely offensive"
*Has a giant SHIELD as the main selling point*
?????????
@@xnflg3074 the beguir pente reminds a little (or a lot) of the alus core gundam
@@GMMesmerizeerm a shield that can fly around to disable gundams. I get what you mean though lol
@@GMMesmerize I get you but how did the pentes fight the Demi Trainers lol. They mopped the floor with them.
Man the designs from this show are great. I love a big ass shield

Amazing how changes in some parts and colors make it seem like fully brand new tooling.

“You might need five of these, and if you do I’ll leave this link to HLJ”
HLJ: Best I can do is 3 per person 😭
More like besy we can do is a HG strike freedom. Their stock has been shite for ages
Doesn't even have them in stock

CRAFTA's orange and white customization of this is incredible, I recommend giving it a look see. The things you can do with this shield are amazing!!
The Michaelis definitely has a lot of resemblance to the Rozen Zulu and I would love to see it be better in season 2.
Just grabbed this bad boy as my first gundam build, super excited!
Let's face it, we all buy this kit for the Crusader shield
I really hope Bandai reprints these kits at some point so they won’t end up like the reconguista in g kits, aka, becoming excruciatingly rare 10 years on.
Considering Witch From Mercury's popularity, reprints are almost guaranteed.
I'm hoping everyday they reprint Lfrith

Good to see you back, i was missing your videos already.
they used the crucifix on aerial but it was a boss fight so it didnt do much
This design looks like it would have been right at home in the second season of 00, maybe piloted by one of the Innovades.
I need five of these, and five sets of 30MS heads and bodies to make Grassley's posse as mecha musume.
I can imagine the Pente flying up to a Gundam with that cross-shaped shield and yelling ”The power of Christ compels you!!!” while the Antidote activates
Kinda tempted to get this along with a michaelis and kitbash them together, give the beu the sick arm cannon

This is only true for some kits. Not every barrel hole is the size of the saber peg.
That shield would look great on a Leo Whitefang custom
Bandai is definitely going ibo route with this series all hgs kool designs a few full mechanics and a mg in 5yrs...lol
I love the design that you can see the cockpit
I'd say: "That shield is almost Beguir than that gunpla..."
i am honestly waiting for someone to create a mash gundam girl and with this shield on the model kit it could be made possible
I really like the head shapes
just built this earlier and i fell in love w it
Great review as always, and this is bugging me a lot but I can't unsee that little nub on the rear of the left thigh above the knee.
Would one of the beams fit into the rifle? Could be a cool visual to have it actual shoot a beam
Just bought this today together with Michaelis and Darilbalde!
That’s a very nice trio!

That shield reminds me of Shielder from fate grand order
Gonna get this build today
That shield is gorgeous
Witch from Mercury are giving is cool Gundam shields that does more than block attacks.
I am probably going to buy one just for the shield, paint the purple parts white and use it on aerial
So does this mean that the Beguir-Pente is the sister unit of the Beguir-Beu?
Probably the Pente is the Mass production version while the Beu was the prototype
I think the second Beam Saber effect can go into the barrel of the Beam Rifle, Zeta Gundam style.
Your Lfrith/Begir Bael review vids are missing from the playlist btw.
The first thing that came to my mind when they pv this kit: Yoo that shield got some EVA vibessss
looks like neon Evangelion.. gonna buy this!
Honestly the only thing making me want this is the shield alone. Now I need a big sword and I can make a hg dark souls gundam. Maybe aerial with pharact’s backpack, a big sword and the pente’s shield
that shield remembers me with impulse's shield
Ooh dear. Im thinking of buying this just to rob the shields and give it to eva 01
Janemba, is that you?
Great, now I can't unsee it 👀
Buy shield, get free MS lol
Please review the 30 mm forestieri 01. That seems cool
Would it be possible to mix the Beu and Pente to have a red and white Beu and a full purple Pente?
Yes, they’re made of the exact same parts, just the colour is different
What to do with the shield though? It won't match either one... =\
How's the kitbashing potential between the WfM kits?
Will you be doing a review of the Strike Freedom revive soon?
You’d think it came from eva
Hopefully one day they make a prometheus
It has the most Evangelion looking shield for a gundam ever
If that shield had an i field, it would even make the strongest uc gundams tremor in fear
It would be worth it to make silicone molds for that shield, to make many copies for kitbashing.
McQuve: why didn’t I think of that?
Worth for a Awesome shield? ABSOLUTELY 😎😎😎
I can already imagine Bandai release a set of 5 of this for no reason lmao
Oh no the stickers!
Green beam can be used for those kits fighting mock battle as blue is for lethal fights
I'm pretty sure blue and green are for exhibition while pink is lethal in g-witch.
I think Michaelis' parts may be upscaled begir beu parts. Well I'm not sure, I don't have any gunpla.
Question: can witch from mercury HG suits mix and match with HG suits from IBO?
Actualy you need to cut the wire but cool paint lining and perfect sticker👍👍👍
Anyone know the stand mecha uses for the gun at 7:15 ?
Paint it black and purple then go shout "Loooooord Camelooooot!!!!!"
can the Pente Shield attach to the Michaelis Let hand? if so im sure that looks really awesome.
make a top 10 Shield video
Now I want a Dominucus Colors coz of Dad Bod Kenanji.
Wish this was in uk stores already
i wanna customize the beguir from the prologue with this shield and the gundam pharac backpack the purple and gray color desing is amazing
the head and colour scheme really reminds me of dragon ball z's janemba
Seeing these new kits i would love an affordable model kit of the Zone of the Enders mechs..
@MechaGaikotsu1Te thank you definitely legit Mecha Gaikotsu 😲😲😲
Michaelis >>> Booger Panties >>> Booger Boy
looks very nice
Do these ever stock up in hlj?it never has I think....
Holy crap I got here at the 22 second mark
I can wait gundam Aeril strike freedom release.
Can equip white backpack to purple?
HG Strike Freedom
kitbash material right here
What is the diameter of the wire? So i can make a wire strong enough without bending them
is it worth using hobby link japan in usa ? everything is always out of stock and the shipping is insane
You'll find similar shipping with any other Japanese retailer. You're lucky in the US because last I checked you had Blue Fin Distribution... And Bandai supply you guys pretty well by comparison to Europe.
Can I give the shield to the Michaelis without modding? I'm getting some ideas.
Yes you can. All the grassley suits have the same wrist attachment
Michealis look like gyan upgraded.. Use Berguir shield.. It would be perfect successor for gyan
I just got water decals for it
Hey mecha, have you watched wfm? If so, what're your thoughts?
Honestly, I like the design of the beu more than the pente. The Beu looks more regal.
Might be great, but don't sell on ebay with free post for just 26 quid
Scalpers just milking from witch from mercury kits they are just so shark i want to get some but they're just to expensive for now
A better shield than Captain America's?
A shield to surpass Metal Gear?
@@Echo_419oooooo maybe
hlj is awesome
Bros about to deal out biblical justice with that shield.
Also. I hate to be that guy but ummm. IM the actual first comment
It feel like Janemba from Dragon Ball
