What allows both the PENELOPE and XI Gundam to fly in Earths gravity is that their flight units are equipped with the Mnvosky craft flight system, the same system used by the White Base and Argama. Despite their overall size thanks to the Mnvosky craft system and the massive thrusters in them both the PENELOPE and XI could get up to a top speed of Mach 3 and have enough fuel to fly around the earth before having to refuel again.
Yay! Perfect Saturday morning content. 😁 Hope you're doing well. Hugs to Fluffy ❤️
hi panda
@@Gunplahrazzi hi! What you working on at this time? 👀 Build or video?
I dig that you painted it to resemble its Hathaway's Flash colours rather than its Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway colours. Hearing about how the plastic is not the best for painting however makes me wanna just panel-line it and call it a day (once I get some Gundam Marker).
I personally think that XI would make a pretty good Real Grade, much like its older brother Nu before it.
Keep up the good work Gundam. Ur vids have definitely evolved for the best.
Gundam is always honest. I hope he reviews the RG Hi-Nu Gundam.
I can't wait for that kit, it might end my marriage. Lol
I like how you're expanding to more kits than just MGs or PGs, because there are a lot of mobile suits that look awesome, but are only in HG, plus HGs are cheaper
Been looking for this channel for yrs... I finally found you... You mastercraftsmen of plastic GUNDAMs!!
Keep going and going.. I'll support ya every channel you have!!!
Real recognize REAL!
Even with the plastic being weak quality, I love the design of this Gundam. It looks like it takes designs from fighter jets and incorporates it into the traditional Gundam design.
Thank you for reviewing this. I’m probably going to kitbash it when I get mine so knowing the weaknesses will be a big help.
What’s up, did you ever kitbash it?
I stopped painting in the joints after I broke the hip of my mg strike rouge ver. rm...
Had to buy a spare to fix it, as I botched the repair, a somewhat expensive learning experience, but I plan on using the spare for a diorama someday (broken off legg, maybe without the arms to use in a kitbash, banshee holding it by the neck, something like that)
I love this kit imo. Fun to pose, get a lot out of it despite the bulk. The flight mode makes sense once you realize its just stabilizing its minovsky drives, both it and the Penelope fly with those, of which the V2 would greatly refine later.
Both suits have this aerodynamic and somewhat streamlined look thanks to the sharp angles on the designs and I love it.
I agree. Given that Xi is a "main character" suit, I'd sooner wager for an RG than a HG.
Not a fan of its overall design, but I absolutely dig his head. I like the more dynamic aesthetic it has quite a bit more, compared to older Gundams like Origin or Nu.
I really should look up the HG Psyco Gundam kit to compare the articulation. I Bandai could've done better for a kit that size.
@@Kenny_F91 Psycho Gundam?
As in, Thunderbolt's FA Gundam?
@@seraph-rsxs-4256 nope, zeta psycho gundam
TB is its own world, in actual UC universe, its prototype unit for psychoframe unit
@@somechinesedude5466 Ah, I see. Thanks.
i just dislike the mouth plate tbh
if they made it a lil bigger i wiuld probably like it lol
It's nice to see the alternate color scheme on the Xi.
I bought the VS set since I was considering buying the two kits anyways... And you're getting a decent value for the included stands and exclusive effects parts.
Yeah, this will get up in price especially if the rest of the trilogy does well
Great work!! I built the Penelope gundam shortly after its release and after your review I'm passing on the XI gundam. The Penelope was kind of a blah build for the price in my opinion, the plastic on that one wasn't any good I had problems with parts breaking and it's space chicken suit just didn't want to stay on the body at all... then again I could of just been doing something wrong idk. if I find the Xi on sale for a good price I may get it but it's a nah dawg for me atm
I like the look of the kit but from the sounds of it the weak plastic let’s every other aspect down, thanks for the review
Hey gundam daddy the reason why your parts broke is probably because you didn't clear the gloss coat your model before applying enamel wash. I don't know how you did your work but I was panel washing my rg unicorn and it's now a crumbling mess. It's the washes reaction with the plastic
I just slapped this kit together and I could tell some sections were thin on the runners, but the actual pieces were fine for me thankfully. These colors look way better than stock, kinda wanna paint mine now lol
Hello from Singapore. Was looking forward to this one!
The rockets turned out pretty dope IMO
Waiting for the next kits tied in with the next Hathaway movies. Maybe the last film will release a rg xi
THERE'S A GUNDAM DOWN HERE!
Both Xi and Penelope use the minovsky flight system, which basically allows them to negate gravity or something
Planning to get this kit. Your work is always amazing and an inspiration to us builders. :)
Thanks for the video Papa Gundam! ❤
seriously keep up the great work currently working on my first custom gunpla. Stop being so hard on yourself you do great work
I haven't built my Xi yet, but my Penelope I had to pin and reenforce both hip joints because they're already stressing hard.
Great work, this is on of the best XI builds I've seen! How did you do the led mod for the eyes? Any tips on how to achieve this is greatly appreciated.
I don't think it would have made sense for Bandai to release an RG to coincide with the release of the film. They want to the kit to be accessible to as many people as possible. I'm sure they'll probably make an RG of it and the Penelope after a few years.
Also, though the Penelope and Xi kits are hard to find at an affordable price now (at least in Japan anyway), since there are two more movies left, there will probably be some sort of variation of the two main Gundams that will be released, and possibly reissues of the original kits.
Glad you hit it with that Ka color. REEEEEEEEEEEE
The fact this HG costs AUD$120 is a hard pass. Should have been an RG instead
How did your logic work is beyond me...
It’s bad here in the US. Even old high grades like my beloved GMs and Zakus are 30$+. The cheapest online and in my local shops is 80$. This should be at least a master grade at this price. These are dark times for model building.
Does anyone ever make like, battle damaged models?
I'm not really into model building, so I don't know if it's something people do, but that would be cool for the one you had to salvage the hand from. Make it look like the hand got blown off or something 🤔
It’s fun doing that. I got some cheap tanks from AliExpress and they will go with my aftermath diorama with a already pretty shot up hguc RGM-79 GM. I even put a pilot figure in to make it look like the hatch got ripped out but somehow the guy made it home.
There is the MC model HG knockoff of this and I have one. Was released waaaay back 2010. For me the proportions are waaaaaaaay better than the bandai one
I tiny bit of pool repair lube does wonders…
Nice work. Some of my fixes instead of glue is using the resin from my 3d printer with a uv light pen. You can layer them up and strengthen it.
It looks so good oml
idk if im misinterpreting the joke at the beginning or what but the way they pronounce it in the anime is correct since its the greek letter Ξ and not the roman numeral XI. So "ksi" would be correct. Its not like you pronounce the Nu gundam the "v" gundam.
Try hmm zoids there good, my fav is the saber tiger and its variants
/i think the plastic quality might be stronger for the individual kits
Speaking of weak ankle, those are common design decision RG/HG/MG seed offers
Its basically plastic meeting plastic friction
MG sazabi ver ka don't have that, some MG seed can get flimsy if you aren't careful
They are fine & dandy if you snapfit, but if painted, you need to shave some plastic or scrape the male part of it paint
Given time, they will crack & loose if you don't add support on it
I feel like I've had this experience with the mg wzew ver ka where the friction between the hands and the sockets were so tight the ball joint stressed so I had to pin a brass rod on the connector
Honestly painting the inner frame will always cause paint chipping and tighter joints. It's kinda obvious. I would either sand down the surface of the inner frame or not paint it at all.
RGs of these kits would be insane, Imagine the amount details
hell ya
Nice and as a Straight Builder, I dream to be as good as you Papa Gundam
Excellent paint job, as always. I'm really hoping the RG improves all the issues and makes for a nice kit for Xi Gundam in the future.
Very nice.
Didn't like it at first but that design is growing on me...Especially in that color scheme.
great video. What decals do you use for this build ?
In your opinion, what is the best GunPla kit?
Awesome
Very interesting:)
Great Job!
I feel like if ur gonna get this kit, first thing u have to do is to fill the open hands with some putty cause good lord they don't look right with holes in em
Looks beautiful
Honestly I feel like I had the same problems with the Penelope the parts broke easily it’s mainly because of how loose they were like the pigs for the shoulders are really damn loose same for the pigs that connect into the arms I glued (which was A mistake because I should’ve just used nail polish and now I have to get a replacement arm because the plastic melted but that my fault and I’m gonna go and get replacements soon) but yeah I feel like that was my problem with the vanilla bee the arms everything else felt great though
Also sorry for the long comment/rant lmao I just wanted to talk about it
Yeah definitely be cool for you to do a review of the movie next time
lol I just built the BB kit... same. 🙄 it sucks the design looks so cool but is as dysfunctional as it looks like it would be.
Are you planning to do the hgus penelope or hguc messer? if you or anyone else does the messer be warned its a fragile kit too and the hip armour will fall off if you look at it funny and is very loose in the arms.
good review!
Zaddy looks great
I call it the "Z" gundam. I passed on it and the Penelope. I'd rather get an MG or RG of something else.
More papa gundam
Another good and honest review.
HiQ Content!
I've been considering getting the Penelope vs Xi box set, but after thinking about it for a while I don't seen any upside to the box aside from the effects and extra stands.
Plus it doesn't seem like it can move much anyways.
The original colour blocking is a must to reduce the overall bulkiness. The new white scheme lacks definition and looks underwhelming.
UA-cam is missing with your channel. I have all notifications on and I didn't anything for this.
Looks fucking amazing man good job
Looks amazing, love you, bro. I think I'm gonna scalp one. Would love to hear your thoughts on collecting and reselling Gunpla. With the million dollar Mario64 cartridge sold recently I'm hunting for my own payday. Starting with Gunpla because I love it so much but not sure it's the best collectors bet. A reddit thread indicates it's not. I really hope you discuss it sometime. There are a lot of rare kits.
🤘
Thanks for the review. I've been on the fence about this kit. It's definitely a hard pass now.
A real grade would have been better for a gundam as visually and mechanically complicated as Xi
Also yes the funnel missiles do look like piss streams I think someone actually made a joke with this with their own kit lmao
👍👍
RG version gonna come in like 5 years I guess they could not make it before the movie does, beside you can sell them, poor kids, twice.
The '11 Gundam'. What, was it Friday afternoon when they had the name selection meeting?
I think I preferred it when they were naming them after Watership Down characters. (so, Perfect Grade Keehar "Peese Orf!" ver.ka Gundam review when?)
Ξ (ksi) as the greek letter, just like the delta, zeta and nu.
??? They've been naming gundams with Greek letters since zeta my dude. Since xi is sometimes known as the spiritual successor to the nu gundam, the naming makes sense
Actually a small correction, Rick dias was called the gamma gundam originally so even before zeta gundam was even made
Gunpla Scalping eh, done right you can get a fortune, done wrong you end up like me, backlogged.
What is going on with newtype I can't access the website?
is a hi res Gundam worth the time and money ?
Extra kits, lol
Kinda dumb to make a suit with such an unusual design out of weaker material, especially for a transforming suit. Even still, phenomenal work as always especially with what you had to put up with off of this one.
what paint do you use for your chrome?
Gundam i want to start painting gundam do you have a list of supplies you need to start?
Mr hobby procon 0.3mm platinum 2.0 airbrush
Then use mr hobby as your go to paint
Paint in general depends on how easy you get it, work with what you can get
@@somechinesedude5466 thank you
I never thought we’d get the Xi or the Penelope as kits. I bought the double pack, I just need to apply the water slide decals. I was thinking of trying to paint the effect parts in the blue white like the SD Xi Gundam kit box art shows. Do you think Bandai will make a P Bandai Katoki Version with the more traditional Gundam head?
I built the Model Comprehend hg of this. Fuckin hand grenade
Noticed on HG KITS that 1000 grit sandpaper will allow you to make more movement wo ruining the kit.
Go slow and you'll get the articulation you want.
Just what I do for my kids.. but there are times in HG KITS where the joints are to big for the ball. Which sucks because only tape or adding material will help that..
But don't care ... Just finding models like this are my reason for building..
If only they made car models that would have steering moving, wheels moving, every door and lid opens, and you could switch out parts...
Well then I'd probably never do these.. but America is weak now and we get stuff like we are to stupid to use our heads
I love the paint job but this is a pass for me. Maybe if it were RG
Algorithm
Probably because they were using the new "KPS" thing? I don't know how new it is, but I've definitely felt some form of change in how the plastic feels over the years. If the runner felt weirdly easy to cut, it's probably KPS.
I really don't like it.
Great work as always, though the design and shitty plastic definitely turn me off from bothering with this kit. Also the missiles look like buttplugs, which coupled with the piss stream effects is... not great.
Hey bro sent u message on IG, let me know
painting looks ok but the fact that you put no work into the kit its self like panel lining filling hollow parts in and other refinements just makes it look cheap and toy like even with a paint job the effects are just trash
Even as someone who like thicc gundams, xi gundam design just look straight ugly to me lol
These Gunpla are just like the movie. Half ass'd. For example, on one side you have the city invasion scene. On the other, you have the beach scene. Sad.
