@@MechaGaikotsu are you going to buy the metal robot damashii barbatos lupus rex ? And looking at your latest purchase i don't think that's going to happen
Is it me or does Bandai seem to have a hard on for the Lupus Rex? I mean they made this the first IBO sdcs kit, they made a Metal robot, they crossed the MG with the 1/100 to make an "mg Barbatos"
Honestly? I feel like the the angry eyes with the pupils is far, far better than the blank ones. It just feels more fierce, and they did a good job at going for minimalist pupils that departs from the cutesy pupils from the green visor. I honestly feel like you could stick those kind of eyes on even the realist of real robot UC designs and it would work.
I saw an add on for sale on ebay (not made by bandai) a while back that gives hgs or 1/100 IBO kits the angry red lightning look Barbatos has at full power that keeps crippling Mika. But yes they should, but it would be p bandai i bet.
But isn't the plastic that you cover the sticker with on barbatos red so just paint the plastic around the eyes black and boom ez red eyes don't even need to put the sticker but it doesn't reflect on the light so might as well put some metalic red on there
You can always paint them. It's an easy part to just coat paint with a brush without worrying about being tidy. Could even use a red gundam marker for that much. Or take some time to figure out how to add some more detail which still wouldn't be that difficult to do.
I feel like the reason the SD head looks better on the 1/144 and 1/100 body is because it makes the proportion more human because if you scale down a gundam to human size, their heads would be tiny so the SD head, especially on a 1/100 makes it look like a guy in a suit instead of a giant robot
Wow I love the CS look. The SD wasnt bad but almost too chibi for me, and the regular are too complex for my nerve damaged hands, haha. These look great thou. Great spending more money. Haha
I always hated SD kits (mind you, this was back in 1995-ish when they were frankly crap), but I took a chance on this kit and honestly it has created a new problem for me. I bought it, I was absolutely happy with the CS kit being included, and with the model in general. So I bought two more kits that were branded "SDCS", the unicorn destroy and the earthree. Imagine my disappointment when they DIDNT include the CS frames with them, so now I'm out another 15-ish bucks (australian) to get the same functionality as the barby lupus rex SDCS. It really has nothing to do with the kit. I did have one major problem with it, in that the very flimsy clip that holds the crotch plate on snaps very easily, so I had to cement it back on with extra thin cement. Other than that, the kit is amazing and anyone who was on the fence about SD kits in the past should get one, but it just set me up for disappointment with every other SDCS kit not coming with the CS frame.
The LED lights you have for the set-up make the angry "Sentient robot" eyes look like Barbatos has the same blind eye as Mikazuki got from overusing the Alaya-Vijnana System; one bloodshot red, one relatively normal.
I picked up the SDCS Zaku 2 and the dark grey CS frame (along with some other simple kits like a 30 minute missions kit so I could build them to cope with stress) back when they were new and one thing I absolutely adore about it is how nice it is to just pick up and fiddle with. It feels more like a figure than a model kit and I just love that about it.
I swear when you transplanted the head of the SD to the hg and 1/100 i thought itd look funny, but then it turned out just right WHICH made it way fucking funnier xD
Started buying the SDCS kits a few months back. Definitely cool to add to your gunpla collection. I prefer the CS frames over the standard SD. So I always buy them if the kit doesnt come with one! Cant wait to see more from this line!
8:38 personally, the 2 modes give different feelings to me; the black eyes are just that, black, as if he's being controlled. but the other mode gives genuine emotion that talks more.
I just made a few days ago and love it too. I have Barbatos Lupus (1/100 and 1/144) so buying an HG Lupus Rex was not exiting till I saw this. Now I have most of the Barbatos.
I'm kind of torn on the CS frame. I snagged one for my Zaku and it looks fine, but I think I'm more partial to the standard SD dimensions. Then I think about it and recall my first few Gunpla were the BB-style SD's; the ones with the stubby arms and giant feet. I may be biased toward the cuter versions.
The vent on the face looks like a frowning (or maybe a serious-looking) mouth. I'm never going to unsee that. Regardless, I'm considering buying this kit. :D
Just need a little customised the neck policap or put some nail polish imside female hole to connectimg the neck policap. It works and fit in the sd head on fm 1/100
I know there's an SD Gundam series of games and whatnot, but they need to do one where the MS are proportionally human sized and a race unto their own. Zakus, Dom's, and Gundam folk living amongst us human. Maybe aliens that choose to appear as such? Maybe some Battletech Mechfolk as well...I love Robotech, but *HATE* Harmony Gold so we may have to leave them out. I'd hate to have to do so, as it was my first giant robot series...followed by Saber Rider and the Star Sheriff's and Voltron. I'd never heard of Gundam until 1996 as I was a deprived child...
If you like colour separation that rivals the sdcs and *cough* hg,I think that the mobile suit ensemble is for you! although some mobile suits are quite hard to come by because they are gachapons.
When the sd has better color separation than the hg
Sad

Mecha Gaikotsu: this part tell me it want to be reviewed

Damn. I always thought the Barbatos long arms look weird, but now with the SD head, it looks right now with long arms.
I always hated SD kits (mind you, this was back in 1995-ish when they were frankly crap), but I took a chance on this kit and honestly it has created a new problem for me.

The fact that they didn't fully commit on giving this guy yellow grabby hands weirds me out.
Me too...
An awesome little version of one of my favorite Gundam frames! It's really sad that it has better color separation than the HG...
6:37
Now that would be awesome and seem so Right
You're actually right actually looks like the head belongs there
I swear when you transplanted the head of the SD to the hg and 1/100 i thought itd look funny, but then it turned out just right WHICH made it way fucking funnier xD
SD Gundam Barbatos looks like the same in SD Gundam Heroes and I am in love with that series😍🤩🤩🤩😂😂
YES MY FAVORITE GUNDAM BECOMES SD CS!!!!
Tge SD head on the 1/100 just looks like actual human proportions
Short answer to the title of this video: yes. But we love it anyway.
Started buying the SDCS kits a few months back. Definitely cool to add to your gunpla collection. I prefer the CS frames over the standard SD. So I always buy them if the kit doesnt come with one! Cant wait to see more from this line!
King, You forgot to put this cute little Rex in your PLATINUM TIER LIST!
I suddenly want some cross silohette Leo’s and grazes
To be honest, who doesn't?
2020 is the year where bandai flexes hard
7:21 you know, i thought the EXACT same thing.
8:38 personally, the 2 modes give different feelings to me; the black eyes are just that, black, as if he's being controlled. but the other mode gives genuine emotion that talks more.
lupus rex and lupus's chins look like red chilies
I have the SDCS RX-78-2 and the parts separation on the head is equally good. Only thing disappointing at the beam sabers (one big white piece) tbh.
Mecha:"Off with his head"
me: PTSD intensifies
So underated
Now after watching this. It makes me wanna buy one.
Me : I'm gonna save money for my first High Grade
Also Me ( after this video) : I guess I'll be collecting SDs for now then.
SDCS kits cost around the same of some high grades
It's like a digimon for gundams with all the Barbatos from sd,hg,re100,to mg Barbatos forms gotta catch them all!
Ayame's little SD unicorn so cute
I totally love SD kits, super detailed, fun paint time.
When SD fingers are better than its bigger size
Without the helmet, he looks like his mouthpiece is a mouth and he is staring into your soul
Just bought it yesterday ! Cant wait to unbox it a few days later
I just made a few days ago and love it too. I have Barbatos Lupus (1/100 and 1/144) so buying an HG Lupus Rex was not exiting till I saw this. Now I have most of the Barbatos.
Articulations Mecha Gaikotsu : Its a SD kit
The quagmire mech Xd amazing
So it's basically Gundarium Tier? NOICE! xD
Teenage Barbatos Lupus Rex reminds me of how Godzilla Junior appearance in Godzilla VS Destoroyah.
The open hand of this Lupus Rex is much better than the 1/100 variant
You should use your 3D print to make a over size barbatos head that fits on your hg or mg
This is my whish this xmass :) hayysss
Now I need a giant head for my Barbs
So I have the hg Lupus Rex and from seeing this review I kinda want to get the sd version now
That holding hands do be looking like hg holding hand 🤣🤣🤣💀
thats really great color separation for an SD model, wow
The RX-78 SDCS also comes with the CS Frame too.
There are 2 versions of the SDCS RX-78-2 released. One came with the CS frame, and one without it
I think the front skirt can move up to give more range for the legs
I'm kind of torn on the CS frame. I snagged one for my Zaku and it looks fine, but I think I'm more partial to the standard SD dimensions. Then I think about it and recall my first few Gunpla were the BB-style SD's; the ones with the stubby arms and giant feet. I may be biased toward the cuter versions.
The vent on the face looks like a frowning (or maybe a serious-looking) mouth. I'm never going to unsee that. Regardless, I'm considering buying this kit. :D
The high grade with the SD head legit looks like it'd fit in Digimon. Neat.
Just need a little customised the neck policap or put some nail polish imside female hole to connectimg the neck policap. It works and fit in the sd head on fm 1/100
Is it only me but at 4:43 barbatos's face kinda has a human face in it now i camt unsee that
Mechagaikotsu needs to buy more SDs to make the Top 10 SDs
I have one on the way, looking forward to it😁
This sd is the greatest one i have seen since the rx-78-2 sd
Well, I'll be getting this. I think it'd be a good kit to practice painting with.
its more like Digimon, love it
More of a champion rather than a ultimate
this is so cute it's not like the demonic lupus rex at all so its actually a game changer
Damn it Mecha Gaikotsu! You keep messing with my head! (puns intended)
I wanna get this guy and make him a build fighters style mascot/companion thing. He looks so cute and cool!
This makes me wonder if I should buy.... I've already have the SD Barbie & Lupus, still in the box.
A very cool looking SDCS!! Thinking of getting it soon 😍

Woah I was hoping for this review to happen! Thanks mecha!!
so I think bandai should make the neck join have another variation so we can use that SD head on them, thats looks cool!!!
yes baby barbatos is so cute
I like when he saying barbie instead of barbatos hahaha 🤣
Love the vid man! Keep up the awesome work!

The Face vents look like a grumpy Face.
I can't help it, it just looks like he had a bad day (especially with the ''angry'' eyes)
I mean come on it looks like wears a helmet while being somewhat pissed.
Like he thinks ''I don't get payed enough for this''
With the alternate color seperated eyes can you do one red and one green. Kinda like Mikas eyes get in the cartoon
It's like the toddler version of barbatos
If you like colour separation that rivals the sdcs and *cough* hg,I think that the mobile suit ensemble is for you! although some mobile suits are quite hard to come by because they are gachapons.
You got me at colour accurate claws.
are you exited for the P-bandai desert zaku? it's coming in may, hopefully.
Hope in the future you can put SD grade gundam parts can be put on HG,MG,RG gundam parts.
Did you try sanding down the pegs a bit for the mace.
Yes some SDCS love! I'm planning to get that SDCS Barbie Lupus Rex
