To be fair I think in interviews Tomino mentions that while G Arcane was designed with a flight mode he had totally forgotten it had one. He only remembered after most of the episodes had hit mid production. *shrug*
I really like the design of this gundam. I've never seen the anime but I might have to watch it now that i can't get over how cool this gundam looks. It looks kinda cute lol and some how nostalgic. Reminds me of a medabot
Why didn't it transform in G-Reco? Because old man Tomino forgot that it was supposed to be transformable, much like how the guy forgot almost all of the plot of his whow XD
I actually bought this kit when it was released~ Her color scheme and very unique design just echoed amazing to me~ Ironically enough I liked a lot of the HG kits of the more forgettable kits~ Though can I ask if you will do a review of the Gastima from G Reco~? I bought the kit and find his design just as cool~
Ill probably buy 2 of these, one to customize but keep as a G Arcane the other to use that cute compressed face on a G-lucifer for its alternate design. In general all the G Reco kits have like a few unique things to take with the whole kit being laz-a-fair The Gaeons backpack, Lucifers skirt and sort of general body, G-Selfs core look, Arcanes face and weapons, the list goes on. It makes me sad really seeing all these cool unqie designs then they fall short in possability and colour apps. The Gastima is probably the least bad offender to me but is still not very good.
Hey Type v3 I'm a fan of your reviews and I like how you deduct or deduce (dunno which) every fact about a toy! Also I watch your videos whenever I get bored!
ive tried with this kit, and as much as i love its design the legs, torso, backskirt wings, and side skirts constanly come off everytime i touch it. somewhow it feels both solid and poseable and like cheap garbage
+xxnike629xx So yeah, Bandai didn't care. I honestly thought a reason for the kits for being average had to do with Bandai knowing that the series wasn't going to make them any money kit wise. Imo, G Reco is easily the worst series ever made. I think that's a reason why Bandai put very little effort into the kits. Oh? Which variants of the G-Self didn't they do? There's only one that I can think of and it's the one before the perfect pack. I think it was season 1 of Build Fighters that was airing at the same time, and Unicorn OVA was just finishing up with Origin being teased.
I beg to differ. Honestly it's the IBO line kinda was a mixed bag in terms of quality Sure they have an "inner frame" Sadly: 1. 80% GRAZE units/variants 2. Hollow parts 3. Some bad color separation (Example, the Gusion Rebake). I know this isn't a problem with us who paint but for snap builders, it can be a pain. But that's just my opinion. I love the HG Gusion and the Barbatos as well as the Grimgerde
xxnike629xx Yeah, I agree with what you said. It basically comes down to the popularity of the series and what was airing at the time. I totally forgot about the Tricky and Torque back.
theArcanaOFZero Yeah, the IBO HG kits aren't perfect but I like them far more than the G-Reco kits. To be fair, the majority of the Earth Fed forces were GRAZE and the variants of the GRAZE. I'm trying to remember what kits had the hollow parts. As for color separation I thought the majority of the HG kits were pretty good considering their price points. I've heard more good things about the IBO kits as well.
I actually like the G-reco kits.. I kinda wish Bandai gave more love. Gaeon and G-lucifer are still two of the kits that I like and are in my top 15 for being "Different"
I never watches Reconguista in G, but I did get the Gaeon a while back. That was the only G Reco kit I liked. This one isn't too bad but I hate the color orange
Honestly a bit disappointed you talked about it needing touch ups yet didn't do the touch up's and show it like you seem to have have done with almost all your HG kits.
I don't know about other countries but the Reconguista in G series is a total empty space in my country..So much that the kits were sold at $8 each regardless of the kit
Wtf where Are you looking? Its Like 17$ with free shipping. Maybe a Bit more on ebay. m.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-HG-1-144-Reconguista-in-G-G004-GUNDAM-G-Arcane-932808-from-Japan-/322184506914?hash=item4b03b16e22%3Ag%3AyzUAAOSwkl5Xffuh&_trkparms=pageci%253A484d4db9-4fb5-11e7-90d3-74dbd180a912%257Cparentrq%253A9e300b0215c0ab66ae5d9c60fff2b90e%257Ciid%253A3 here is a ebay link ^^
TheCludo super ich auch ^^. Bei solchen Preisen darf man nichts kaufen! Leider gibt's die auf Amazon immer :/ aber dann muss man einfach n bisschen weiter graben und man sollte n passables Angebot finden ^^ auf ebay.com gibt's auch viele Shops die kits für nen dezenten Preis und mit gratis Versand verkaufen
Its sad to think this is the only mobile suit I find remotely attractive from reco G probably because it doesn't look like a gundam and LFO got mushed together...
I was thinking about getting this and adding a GN Drive and stuff and just painting the orange parts something different cause that shade just looks fucking terrible.
Hi V3, can I ask you something? How easy is it to have the G-Arcane wield a Rifle other then its long-range one? Like the ones for the GN-X, G-Self or GM III for example. I plan to do a custom, but I want to know what I'm working with before I begin.
Didn't expect a recon g kit, actually i think recon g has really cool mech design, this one looks quite nice too but it seems the hands are too big for the kit
i know right a mm or maybe even 2 smaller would be better but also the orange on it is not red enough i painted mine first all white then repainted it in a way darker red its like a tat darker than bordeaux red it looks great i know its not anime accurate but it looks great tho
while not a fully articulated example, some Dom kits and a few others have movable trigger fingers, but it's quite rare and just those fingers, not the rest.
I like the G-Arcane, lol mainly cause of its sniper… but thats irrelevant. Anyways I don't like the hands. They look MASSIVE. I'm guessing it's for supporting the sniper. But still; it is MASSIVE
Hg is more playable. Mg is more on the pose and display kind. Although MG has more gimmicks and details, its really kinda hard to make them "pewpew" each other. :)
Am I the only one that REALLY likes the designs in this series?
Gaeon, G-lucifer and the Perfect pack are pretty rad designs with this close
theArcanaOFZero same
theArcanaOFZero nope. I really love the G-self, the G-arcane, and the G-lucifer designs
Same
To be fair I think in interviews Tomino mentions that while G Arcane was designed with a flight mode he had totally forgotten it had one. He only remembered after most of the episodes had hit mid production. *shrug*
I really like the design of this gundam. I've never seen the anime but I might have to watch it now that i can't get over how cool this gundam looks. It looks kinda cute lol and some how nostalgic. Reminds me of a medabot
Same. Which is why I bought 3 of this kit.
Is this the reasoning that goes through csgo player's heads when buying 30 awp safari mesh skins at once?
R.P.M. TOUGE RACERS KAMIKAZE STYLE same
the hands are huge
Oh yeah....this show happened
This one looks really cute
G arcane th only Gundam that's like the Zeta's little sister
How so?
yea how lol? thid kit doesnt originaly transform unlike zeta
Just the design of it's core kinda gives me a zeta feel
k
then hyaku shiki is his brother
Why didn't it transform in G-Reco? Because old man Tomino forgot that it was supposed to be transformable, much like how the guy forgot almost all of the plot of his whow XD
Love the head sculpt
I actually bought this kit when it was released~ Her color scheme and very unique design just echoed amazing to me~ Ironically enough I liked a lot of the HG kits of the more forgettable kits~ Though can I ask if you will do a review of the Gastima from G Reco~? I bought the kit and find his design just as cool~
the colors on this kit look gorgeous
Ill probably buy 2 of these, one to customize but keep as a G Arcane the other to use that cute compressed face on a G-lucifer for its alternate design.

Hey Type v3 I'm a fan of your reviews and I like how you deduct or deduce (dunno which) every fact about a toy! Also I watch your videos whenever I get bored!
Yaya! back to Gunpla reviews...
Honestly, I got this kit only because of the 2 versions of its rifle. I've built the MS, but I gave it away. No regrets.
Good articulation, would definitely repaint the kit and make the fingers and joints gunmetal.
damn, I just love the long rifle
One of the only kits that can pull off the laying down sniper pose thanks to the transformation gimmick.
ive tried with this kit, and as much as i love its design the legs, torso, backskirt wings, and side skirts constanly come off everytime i touch it. somewhow it feels both solid and poseable and like cheap garbage
I feel like if I see this on sale, I might go for it. I like it more than most of the Reconguista models.
The stickers kind of kill it for me. Here's hoping for a higher grade with more colour separation
agreed that the orange is too bright. id prefer more of the orange on the ReZel type C or the Ground GM
Is it me or did Bandai not really care about the quality of the G Reco kits?
+xxnike629xx So yeah, Bandai didn't care. I honestly thought a reason for the kits for being average had to do with Bandai knowing that the series wasn't going to make them any money kit wise. Imo, G Reco is easily the worst series ever made. I think that's a reason why Bandai put very little effort into the kits.
Oh? Which variants of the G-Self didn't they do? There's only one that I can think of and it's the one before the perfect pack.

I beg to differ. Honestly it's the IBO line kinda was a mixed bag in terms of quality
Sure they have an "inner frame" Sadly:
1. 80% GRAZE units/variants
2. Hollow parts
3. Some bad color separation (Example, the Gusion Rebake). I know this isn't a problem with us who paint but for snap builders, it can be a pain.

Gaeon and G-lucifer are still two of the kits that I like and are in my top 15 for being "Different"
Hope bandai will release its fulldress
Ha, I just finished my custom painted Kamiki Burning Gundam. Well now I can post it here. :)
This and the Kabakali are the only G-Reco kits I have, this is the better one, no question.
Is there a way to make fully transformable hip parts for this and the Rezel because come on.
Dude i cant wait for the new build fighters kits and your reviews.
Interesting on eBay this is listed as a Gundam spirits ie, an action figure?
that grimgrade. awesome repaint.
I'd like to think that the transformation is just Bandai adding in something to make the instruction sheet bigger
G-Arcane has so much custom potential!
mine is coming Friday
I never watches Reconguista in G, but I did get the Gaeon a while back. That was the only G Reco kit I liked. This one isn't too bad but I hate the color orange
I love orange so it would be great to me orange my favorite color
Orange is my fav color
Honestly a bit disappointed you talked about it needing touch ups yet didn't do the touch up's and show it like you seem to have have done with almost all your HG kits.
I didn't want to paint it, so I didn't. It's as simple as that.
I don't know about other countries but the Reconguista in G series is a total empty space in my country..So much that the kits were sold at $8 each regardless of the kit
I like that design, but 107€ price plus 17€ shipping is insane
Wtf where Are you looking? Its Like 17$ with free shipping. Maybe a Bit more on ebay. m.ebay.com/itm/Bandai-HG-1-144-Reconguista-in-G-G004-GUNDAM-G-Arcane-932808-from-Japan-/322184506914?hash=item4b03b16e22%3Ag%3AyzUAAOSwkl5Xffuh&_trkparms=pageci%253A484d4db9-4fb5-11e7-90d3-74dbd180a912%257Cparentrq%253A9e300b0215c0ab66ae5d9c60fff2b90e%257Ciid%253A3 here is a ebay link ^^

:D Jau jezt erstmal wieder Paypal zum laufen kriegen, Accound wurde wegen inaktivität eingefroren^^
there should be a type GBF. version of this in Battlogue
why bandai don't make the Full Dress for G arcane ?
Its sad to think this is the only mobile suit I find remotely attractive from reco G probably because it doesn't look like a gundam and LFO got mushed together...
What is an LFO?
Thanks for doing another gunpla review :D
I don't know why, but I like this gunpla. :D
That hands are HUGE
Its been a long time since you had your gunpla review. Hoping for more reviews form gundam 00 series. Fighting!
my fav gundam. unique design
terrible show. absolutely awful
What's your fav gundam?
+SeihouGhostZ series or ms?
+SeihouGhostZ if its ms then it would have to be 00-raiser or unicorn gundam
Is there the full dress version
are all orange Gundams transforming
YES FINALY
L-gaim mark 2 does that MA mode xD
so you will do a HG Grimoire review?
is the the new rg sinenju?
This really looks like Amuro Ray's Zeta Plus A1
I was thinking about getting this and adding a GN Drive and stuff and just painting the orange parts something different cause that shade just looks fucking terrible.
that gold plated barbatos
Hi V3, can I ask you something?
How easy is it to have the G-Arcane wield a Rifle other then its long-range one?
Like the ones for the GN-X, G-Self or GM III for example.
I plan to do a custom, but I want to know what I'm working with before I begin.
Didn't expect a recon g kit, actually i think recon g has really cool mech design, this one looks quite nice too but it seems the hands are too big for the kit
i know right a mm or maybe even 2 smaller would be better but also the orange on it is not red enough i painted mine first all white then repainted it in a way darker red its like a tat darker than bordeaux red it looks great i know its not anime accurate but it looks great tho
Yeah, overall the proportion is great and I don't know if it just me but i think the kit has a quite feminine design and i kinda like that ^^
These hands comes with all the G-Reco kits. I don't like them particularly.
dunno, but this is the only kit I love in G-Reco, just my oppinion tho :3
anyway, thanks for another gunpla review
can you review the HG Gaeon?
Are you getting the G-aeon?
WHERE Is THE ORANGE RIFLE
The only thing that I hate about this is how big the hands are
I haven't seen Reconquista in G. This kit's hands look huge. Is that true to design?
It is, and honestly you're not missing much from skipping this entry into the franchise.
where is my G-arcane Full dress , Bandai. Where is it??
What's the outro song name? I think its from build fighters right?
Rival
Not a fan of this kits visuals, but I love your reviews. Keep it up.
excuse me but what's the musc that sounds as backround at the end ( like in 5:06)? I like it
ua-cam.com/video/ZJsKWoF6uFE/v-deo.html
its from the Gundam Build Fighters OSTs right?
Alright Type V3 I HAVE to ask. Do you plan on reviewing the 1/144 HGBF Gundam Crossbone X1 Full Cloth Ver. GBF?
no plans
What happened to your Gundam reviews
Please do a Gaeon review. :)
man, i just got home from buying this kit...
kinda sad since g-reco have some really nice and fresh MS designs, but the show isnt that succesful
surpisingly, you didn't at least panel lined it.
I was surprised too cause he usually panel line his gundams in the vid
one question only the RG Models have the articulated hands? like in the RG Astray Red Frame?
Yes, RG and up.
and up?
Thanks
while not a fully articulated example, some Dom kits and a few others have movable trigger fingers, but it's quite rare and just those fingers, not the rest.
I like the G-Arcane, lol mainly cause of its sniper… but thats irrelevant.
Anyways I don't like the hands. They look MASSIVE. I'm guessing it's for supporting the sniper. But still; it is MASSIVE
Finally
do a rg review
YOU do an RG review.
but you've already made the gundams im still a beginner
I wish I could have That.
then buy it
poshstew it is Very Expensive to me.
Ah, the only mobile suit from the series I'd have liked as a MG.
As a side note: The hands look stupidly over sized for this suit.
finally
The hands look so big
why do you like HG i think MG is better, could you please explain
Hg is more playable. Mg is more on the pose and display kind. Although MG has more gimmicks and details, its really kinda hard to make them "pewpew" each other. :)
aww no hint at the next review :(
the hands are big
Why was he gone for a month?
+ash uchu because I have a life that doesn't center around toys.
+TYPE V3 lmao 😂
+TYPE V3 ok I'm just glad you're back
On my phone, the orange looks more red. But maybe its just me
same
It looks like a deeper red than orange, and I'm watching it on my laptop.
Those open hands! Wtf?
Is it me or are the hands ridiculously oversized?
It's head looks like the astaroth's
but size wise HG is so tiny, i can't get enough satisfaction playing with it
That just means you have room for twice as many kits on your shelves. Right now I have all of mine in a team vs team battle.
+Ben N (BNuts) the way I prefer to pose my figure is gundam vs transformers, because they're both a popular robot franchise from where they came from
***** I have GN Archer vs GN Strike Freedom, HG Seven Sword/G vs RG Trans-Am Raiser, and SxDxG vs SD Unicorn Full Armour.
L-gaim mkii....
Look so female, don't ya think? . Do u have Hguc version?
The pysing of the anime is bad buuuuuuut the ms ARE AMEZING
5th YAY
I admit I would like a male pilot
why am i getting a magical girl vibe?
ikr. I'm going to be painting mine in metallic white, purple, and pink
well maybe it bacause the pilot is a female?
Is that gunpla a he or she?
A bit too late but ok...
Arguably the best kit to come out of a frankly, disappointing HG line. The G-Self's got nothing on this.
