As always drop your top 10 kits of the year below this comment so that everyone can see! And they don't have to have come out this year, just let us know the ones you enjoyed the most!
Could you do a video or review on the hg buster
i think we all agree we're not surprise hi nu gundam will be 1st, it deserves it
Please write the price of the kit as you used to do
Please include the price as used to
I was expecting 2nd or 3rd for the eclipse but i guess virtue and zeong deserve it haha
I'm watching this while building my RG Hi-Nu & I agree wholeheartedly. Calling this kit great is an understatement. My god, the details on this kit are 👌🏻
I wonder where they're going to go from here? We know the God Gundam is on the way, but I can't wait to see what they're planning after that!
@@MechaGaikotsu If they are going to make every main Gundam as RG, I would like to see Gundam X & AGE-1 got some love from Bandai.
I said this before, and a million times. But I will say it again WE NEED RG BARBATOS 💀
@@Ash.leighhh I think for the inner frame, it doesn't look much different from the HG version
Rg atlas or full armor gundam thunderbolt would be dope
RG: The small size and affordable prices of the High Grade, the advanced inner frame technology of the Master Grade and the massive parts count and details of the Perfect Grade
Being relatively new to the hobby, after a few RG kits, it's already steadily becoming my favorite line. And with all of the improvements the line has been seeing over the years, it only makes me more and more excited for each new announcement. RG God is my first model kit preorder, and I couldn't be more excited about it.
new real grades has the same price like master grade
You lost me on the word "affordable".
yeah it's definitely not cheap haha
Real Grade is not affordable at all, a good RG would cost a regular MG size gunpla, and in terms of size and weight, Mg is definitely more worth a penny for the spend than RG. but RG just beat MG in terms of mechanical design and higher articulation than MG can have in nowadays. MG is going simpler and simpler while RG is getting better. Bandai had switched their core business to 1/144 size
Glad you got past through all those copyright issues you mentioned. The best Gunpla reviewer
Thank you! Seems like I've managed to avoid it for now. I just wanted to use epic gundam music damn it!!!
@@MechaGaikotsu I'll save you some time. You simply can't. I'm but a small blip on the Gunpla UA-cam world and Bandai, Sunrise, and everything else is on top of nearly everything. They will region lock your content and it won't be accessible to everyone.
I've just finished building my RG Hi-nu and the hype is definitely real! Can't wait for the next RG line. I really hope Bandai release more RGs this year. It's my perfect type of gunpla line.
RG Burning Gundam in few months! 🔥✋
I still prefer the master grade but just by a hair. In recent years though the rg kits are putting it to shame lol I just like he mg size better
RG God Gundam will release in June
@@scrotor189 yea the only real downside of RG is the size unfortunately. But I kinda like small-sized gunpla tho. It gives the illusion of more intricate details, especially with the Real Grade decals :D
@@misusatriyo And...most importantly...you can fit more of them on the shelf!
the theme for this year was quality over quantity.. designing and making plans for the kits as well as the problems you mentioned IRL probably compounded the number of kits released but with an actual mountain of backlog I'm not complaining.. looking forward to another great year from the channel Mecha G!
Bandai could take it slow on Gunpla nowadays because they have so many other lines to work with, like FRS Kamen Rider/Digimon/Dragon Ball, Shokugan Model Project, etc. Gunpla isn't the only one that could make money, so they don't have to push the quantity and could focus to increase the quality
look man. I gotta agree with you on the RG Hi Nu. Every time I look at it. I feel a sense of satisfaction that I can’t quite get with my other kits that I own. Its not a Model kit. Its an experience worth every penny, every second spent putting it together. even posing it made me smile in ways I thought wasn’t possible til after the pose was finalized. I love this thing
Try the MG MK V. I got the same feeling building it. It is absolutely my favorite kit of the year and I’m surprised he didn’t mention it. Maybe because it was a PBandai release
@@coldercoronet6248 maybe. This list could have been with “easier to get” kits.
@@electrobuster5483 makes sense. Still worth every penny though even with a premium price. It’s as tall as Sazabi Ver ka and it comes with soooo much plastic. It really is a sight to behold.
@@coldercoronet6248 sounds amazing I’ll keep it in mind
Thank you so much for the past 10 years since the inception of your channel mecha. I hope you would be doing this for more years to come!
I began this hobby back in July 2021 and have completely immersed myself in every gundam anime and I have probably spent an unwise amount of money scrounging for kits I want.
I really hope that this hobby gets back to its more thriving state soon so some kits just aren't impossible to get or paying triple the retail price.
I love your videos mecha they have proved an invaluable asset on this journey that I see myself on for a long time thank you!
Best Gunpla channel I’ve seen. Saved me time, money and made me smile often. Thank you.
I've been waiting for this content for a long time. Good for a gunpla recommendation that I haven't bought in 2021
I've been waiting for this yearly content, thanks mate! Cheers to awesome 2021 gunpla community!
Ive been waiting for this one for a while now🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I've had a HGCE Strike Freedom sitting on my storage for nearly three years. Always procrastinating on buying nippers, sanding paper, and other tools. It wasn't until I built a 30 Minute sister followed by a Kotobukiya Frame Arms girl that I finally felt confident to get started with my first Gunpla.
Now after finishing the Strike Freedom and posing it I'm in love and have been tracking the best Gunpla I can get to finally start my Gunpla collection. Your videos have been an indispensable tool on deciding what gundams to order so thank you very much.
Already ordered my very first Master Grade Freedom v2.0 and was so captivated by your review of the MG Wing Zero EW Ver Ka that also ordered that as well.
After seeing this.....dear God. It is time for my first Real Grade. That Hi-Nu Gundam is majestic.
HES ALIVE
on a serious note, this year was a really important year for me, it was the year i got into gunpla and it was truly a
mazing
This has been such a crazy year for me! I renewed my absolute love for GunPla, and I build so many Kits last year! Also, build my first ever CUSTOM! Made a 30MM Kit look like SEPHIROTH!! Made it for a contest build, TOOK SECOND PLACE!! Also build my #1, the Wing Zero Custom Ver.Ka!!
And this year will be crazy for me as well!! My second Custom Build, and another MG that was in my list that I’m going to build soon.
MY LOVE FOR MECHA IS STILL ALIVE!!!
I've got my RG hi nu on the way and I can't wait to build it, the details on it look absolutely amazing. That being said, despite shortages, the rollout of kits in 2021 has been small but the builds and suits they chose have been great, the hg xi is gorgeous, mg virtue is amazing and the rg TV wing was a nostalgic build for me being the first gundam I ever saw and the RG does it so much more justice over the MG, looking forward to what 2022 will bring
Mecha thank you for bringing the best of the gunpla World into the spotlight for so many years.
You helped me a lot man, guiding my every choices of lines and all.
I fell in love with the MG Storm bringer thanks to you and I finally received it. A 7 months journey for the big boy lmao take care. Stay sharp as a new type.
*When a new year starts*
Mecha: Ah shit...here we go again
RG Hi Nu Gundam: "Looks like my existence is starting to be replaced"
I have to agree with you about rg Wing as well as being my first rg. And for the first time in ages I found myself enjoying the build itself immensely!
What a narration!!! Thank you for being the best gunpla reviewer mecha. I hope one day Bandai will do something amazing to this awesome channel.
Huge thank you for all the reviews you've done Mecha Gaikotsu!
I’ve been checking this channel everyday since the new year for this video… didn’t disappoint!
“Pure poetry in plastic”. Damn that rolls off the tongue nicely.
I started this hobby late 2021, and I have to say that your list has been my helping guides of what to splurge my money on haha!
Joined the Gunpla crazy train in December and immediately became entranced. Built through my first MG and 2 HGs but when I saw the HiNu I desperately wanted it and somehow found and bought it for $55 for on GameStops website the day after Christmas. I’m waiting until I get a better nipper before I crack that bad boy open. Thanks for making epic/detailed and unbelievably consistent reviews! Best of luck this year!
Another great video, because of your videos, I'm now a full blown Gundam builder and collector. Thank you!!!!
When the pandemic started I started working from home and was extremely bored becuase I was just working and playing video games and sleeping but for some random reason I see on my UA-cam feed Mecha Gaikotsu zeon rg review... No idea what it was I watched it and I thought it was an interesting hobby, now I watch all your reviews and I'm happy to say I have 10 awesome kits with me and plan to keep going, thank you for opening the world of gunpla to me, you're awesome!
Finally, I waited so long for this video yay
Same 😭
Me too
I was looking forward to this video since the beginning of the year! Always enjoy your videos!
as always great work!!!! Alway looking forward for your top10 yearly. I am collecting gunpla based on your top 10s.
4:05 imma nitpick you here. Helios isn't just made up of the destiny, X, and freedom. It's also made of the double-X and the unicorn.
Mega-bash!
Which part of unicorn
@@black56179 the shoulders.
@@black56179 the shoulders have Psycho-Frame remeniscent of the Unicorn Full Armor with a Translucent green piece!
Love your channel, love your content. The production of this video is top notch, thank you for all this and wish you a great 2022 ahead.
I been waitting foreverrrrrrrrrr for this vids
What I love about the rg hi nu is that it really captures the bulkyness of the original novel design and with the colors of the later redesign and I think combined makes the best looking hi nu I ever seen.
Thanks to your videos I've gotten into gunpla recently. My first RG kit was the Wing from this year (my 2nd kit after the hg Rx-78 2). My 3rd kit was the GM GM and I'm currently building the Origins Char Zaku 2. I've got a Hi V waiting for some long down time. Thanks for all the great reviews!!
Those are some great kits you've built! Glad your enjoying the hobby!
It was one of your videos that got me into this hobby in 2021. Damn you! And thank you so much 😂
Yessss been waiting for this one
You really stepped up your writing game on this one dude, great video as always
Love the top 3. Totally accurate top 10 list. LOVE IT!!
I've been waiting for this
Dude, that outro really got me. I had a rough 2021, probably the roughest year of my life. Our family business was wrecked by the pandemic so I was broke for most of the year and I also lost a family member. Things are thankfully turning around since last month and you're right, it looks like 2022 will be a breakout year me. Lot of big plans ahead financially and personally. Thanks, man. I love your channel and your content. Keep it coming and I'll keep supporting!
Sorry to hear that you had a rough time man. Things get better, and when they do you'll appreciate it so much more then someone who has just coasted through life.
I hope 2022 treats you well!
Im curious, how did the year go, chum?
I agree with nightingale, he really makes any collection big or small look a lot bigger. I’m glad I bought mine in 2021
2021 is when I got back into Gunpla and got myself a MG Sazabi Ver.Ka for Christmas. Haven't opened the box yet haha but can't wait to start it!
love the list! i did wait for special mentions though considering the judge and takeda shingen got reviews and praises. i know this is primarily a bandai-focused channel, but it wouldn't hurt to mention these in passing.
Best intro/ recap you’ve done for a year review
2021 was definitely a lean year for Gunpla. But what we got were mostly really high quality. But P-Bandai was jam packed.
3:14 HG MSB-GH03 Gundam Helios is a great choice for sure. It's a kit bash of HGCE and HGAW kits; all of which are relatively new.
6:09 FM GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam is 1 that I need to get.
9:27 HGUC MSN-04II Nightingale is a CHONK kit for sure. It's too bad it fell victim to scalpers and apparently still does. There's the RE 100 version though.
12:06 HGCE GAT-02L2 Dagger L is a nice release; especially those who are really into grunt units.
14:52 RG XXXG-01W Wing Gundam is a really good kit from what I hear. But what I want is a new version of MG XXXG-01W Wing Gundam EW.
18:12 HGUC RX-105 Ξ Gundam is definitely a mega CHONK kit.
21:16 MG MVF-X08 Eclipse Gundam definitely came out of nowhere. I don't have much feelings for this but it's unique looking. There are other SEED/SEED Destiny kits that could use an updated MG so I think that's partially why some are upset with this.
25:05 RG MSN-02 Zeong as definitely a surprise kit. I'm more surprised that we don't have an RG MSN-02 Perfect Zeong yet. I'm sure fans are eagerly awaiting for it.
28:00 Not surprised that MG GN-005 Gundam Virtue is so high up on this list. Of course Bandai will make a new Season 2 line up. The question is if we'll get a new MG GN-001 Gundam Exia to match the quality of the other new MG 00 kits.
31:20 RG RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam is an excellent choice for number 1. All that's left is for Bandai to announce RG FA-93-ν2HWS Hi-ν Gundam Heavy Weapons System Type.
Is it already the 10th anniversary of this channel?! 😲
Congratulations! おめでとう！
Thanks man!
@@MechaGaikotsu Not a problem. I'm just surprised that it's already been 10 years. I've been enjoying your content.
@xxnike629xx Oh, my HGUC kit is on the list, and yet you're still being *REKT* by your *COWARDICE* to talk about it being *NOT* a P-Bandai. Hope this year you'll....
Do it! Do it! Do it! huehuehue
@xxnike629xx Quite a surprise that you didn't spam P-Bandai _ill-wishes_ on this vid. Perhaps you're kinda believing the bads of doing it...
Or not because you're still incapable of learning from your mistakes 😂
And also surprised that you didn't bashed RG Hi-Nu for its lack of Amuro figure. I still remember the time you bashed Nu Ver Ka when it was newly released for its lack of piping at the back of its head and the Amuro emblems not being engraved.
(And actually, those "problems" aren't actually problems at all. You just bashed it out of spite 😂😂)
I'm wondering why you can't do the same to RG Hi-Nu today. *COWARDICE* , perhaps? 😂😂😂
@xxnike629xx And lastly, this year is also the decade anniversary of you quitting from building a kit for good, right? I wonder how you'll gonna celebrate it, will you gonna have a party inside your *BOX* fort? 🤣
Its finally up! Nice, I still need to get my hands on these
can't wait for u to review the rest of the battlouge kits to see how they stack up against each other
Great list! I have two on the list in backlog and really want to get Virtue. Glad to see Xi and RG Hi-Nu in the top 5.
Awesome! Watching your videos helps me decide on what gunpla to buy next hahahha
Glad to hear it! What's next on your list!
waited 12 days for this ♥️
This list is so accurate! I think I have a bunch of them in my wishlist and I also built the Xi gundam.
Thanks for the year end review! For the #9 calamity gundam aesthetics at 7:05, the first thing that I saw was that white part sticking out of it's groin.
Pointy peen
Nice list worth the extra wait 🤙
man, waiting for him upload this video is kinna fun (seriously)
Glad you like it!
Great Rundown Video there mate! You are now officially 'Pro Mecha Vlogger Incarnate' Well done & may your Standard Bearing hands never let slide whatever the amount of marksetter/glue/putty 2022 throws in ya face. 😊
Awesome video as always!!
Great video as always!
7:00 Damn the high grade Helios is looking very different in looks and price if i’m being honest :)
Kit so good he included it twice
I just got my Hi Nu Gundam today and hella excited to build it just waiting to have spare time to properly enjoy the build
always love throwing on some of your vids in bg as i build stuff haha just built helios few days ago, working on 00 sky moebius now and rg hi-nu coming in the mail found the helios waist joint pretty loose other then that its friggin cool
It feels like the best 2020 gunpla video was just yesterday
Brooo im so happy that Battlelogue happened. AND THEIR SONG IS SUCH A BANGER TOO!
Heliios was actually my first gundam build and made
Me fall in love with gunpla
my favorite is the 00 raiser RG MG PG, but all the gunpla in your category are really cool brother!!!
My store finally had a huge restock of the hi nu and I’m glad I didn’t give in to scalpers all the more making it worth the wait!!!
He’s back !
This was worth waiting 🔥😍
I literally just found gunpla 2-3 days ago.. and was amazed and the HI-NU… and the best part you linked where to buy… take my money
"and it has a F A T C O C K"
thank you mecha, that is what i needed to hear after 2021
No surprised Hi Nu come in first.
He was literally masterpiece of art ever exist in world of gunpla.
The only downgrade is (i'm agree with Mechagaikotsu here) the gold and silver not as good as you want or expected, and the scale is not accurate.
But it was no big deal since they(bandai) give you a masterpiece of mecha model that you won't regret buying one.
Nice pfp
Apparently what everyone thinks is supposed to be gold is supposed to be metallic orange according to the color guide which is apparently why it looks so weird to everyone
@@braveng7909 probably... But not sure...
Cause mine will be re colour into silver and gold for sure 👀
Before buying a new kit, I decide to watch your video to see if it's the right thing or not hahahaha. You are a starting point, personally, to make the decision to build and above all, have fun when building
Oh you resolved it? MG Virtue is nice for last year...but then the zeong and hi-v rg are also good...but if you asked me what's overall best plamo from Bandai including non-gundam from last year, I'd say it's the 30ms and trychaser 2000
Had to google that second one. People have recommended the Kamen Rider kits to me a lot. Might have to give one a go!
@@MechaGaikotsu you should!
You wouldn't regret it
I loved those
It just give me nostalgia when i was younger watching kamen rider
@@MechaGaikotsu If you get a Kamen rider I would recommend the Kuuga or Double cyclone joker. They're by far the least sticker heavy.
@mecha gaikotsu the missing peice yes please
Seeing this review of last year gunplas makes me want to buy one.
Sounds like a 10 year build off needs to take place MG! How about some build nights on your discord? Some q&a type nights while you build or something?
You’re about to make me bankrupt with your reviews! I love these videos!
Money well spent! Glad you like the videos 😃
I just picked up the Rg wing and can’t wait to build it
speaking of the Gunpla shortages I heard that Bandai is building a new larger factory in Japan to keep up with the supply demand.
Yup theyve built the factory, but it still does not fully operate yet, expect to fully operate around April 2022, that's why the HG Nightngale and RG Hi Nu Gundam became short supply and highly price scalped
I just got the eclipse from Christmas, but had to bring it home on a plane from Michigan. Took me a day to realize one of the ears snapped off at the top. Almost cried 😔 love that thing soooo darn much
I want the Full Mechanics Calamity Gundam and the RG Hi Nu Gundam, thank you Mecha for this list of great kits hope to see many reviews in the new year
Pew. Missed Mecha's reviews.
Almost all the gunpla kits I ordered back in May 2021 have arrived (1 still backordered and 1 sitting in my virtual warehouse) along with the large number of bases I ordered back before winter. With 8 of my 12 total kits built, 7 of which are on display (curse you RG Justice!), I've come to realize that I need a dedicated space for these things. Space I may not have in my apartment. Still, I've fallen in love with these things, and may have to expand beyond my original goals for the collection.
YOOO MATE THIS IS COOL! Always good to hear your opinion!
Glad you liked it!
This is the first time I wasn’t surprised at all by what was in the list
because of this video im now planing to buy the king very soon 😄
I saw it last year too🥳, and year-end best is always fun and happy~😆😆. Impressive 💟
hes back baby
My housemate actually picked up the hg command quanta as a present for me from Target when I was having a crummy day at uni. It's a superb kit and I hope everyone gets their hands on it o/
Love all the new gunpla relaese this year, HG has massive upgrade last year no more massive sticker for most gundam and really great colour accuracy also some killer RG like hi nu gundam my favourite of all from this year released
Awesome as always. Much love from Manila. Gotta love than RG Hi Nu.
I should have expected the hi nu to be number one. Seeing how you talked about it and how good it looks(I unfortunately don’t have one) but none the less it deserves it’s spot as king
It’s finally here
Okay, the Calamity with the wings is definitely a thing. I may have an idea for my next custom project now...😊😊
Gotta love the Unicorn gundam theme
Well, I got a new job this last year and for the first time I've been able to buy Gunpla regularly. Although I'm pretty slow to build them still, it seems. I've gotten a bigger backlog of kits in the last few months than I've had for 10 years. And thanks to a local-ish hobby shop that occasionally carries P-Bandai, I've fallen in love with the Advance of Zeta HG line. I think out of the kits I built last year, my favorite is the AoZ Hazel Owsla Mass Production Type. Yes, it's based on a very old kit (the HG Hazel Custom is how old now?!) but it comes with so many display options! Hazel Custom, Advanced Hazel, Primrose, Hazel Owsla MP Type... and those are just the canonical variants you can build right out of the box. I even tracked down two Hrududu and the Hazel II so I can build both Hazel-Rah forms and the official configuration of the Hazel Owsla.
Sure, the Wing Zero EW ver Ka is a very technically impressive kit, and it's also super nostalgic for me, but by technicality (I only got the head and upper torso built during the end of last year!) it's my favorite gunpla I've built *this* year. We'll see how high it ranks after I get the Woundwort, Hyzenthlay-II Rah, and Hyzenthlay Rah-II built. :)
I got the RG Hi-Nu Gundam as a late bday gift and I’ve yet to build it, just waiting for that perfect day.
I see some new additions coming to my collection
The top 5 is so good that I could cry :"
SHEEESH. MG Eclipse entered Number 4. My Dream Gundam. Hope I got it next year in my birthday. Wish me luck.
