The one Build Fighters kit that caught my eye recently was the Gyancelot. I've heard that was supposedly good apart from the gold stickers. Still, great review
Personally I think the gp02 holds up well- it’s the only retail gp gundam with storable colored beam sabers, every gimmick in one package, and has better color separation. I especially enjoy kitbashing my gp rase 2 ten with my hg gouf crimson custom to create a high mobility gouf ground custom
The point of this being yes, the articulation is enough for a bombardment unit. But once you apply a melee loadout onto it, which requires a lot of physical range to look cool, then the whole thing goes down the drain. I'd say it still holds up fairly well had it not been for the melee loadout
@@mj2005gundamnah you don’t need a lot of physical range for a melee load out. Example: Darth Vader. Don’t get caught up with everything needing to be super flashy and acrobatic to wield a sword. Most actual combat isn’t with back-bending and acrobatics. More shorter range movements. Yes I know some people want to do over the top poses but then get a kit that can do that and know not every kit doesn’t need to do that but can still use a melee load out. If you know how to pose to the kits strengths you can get cool intimidating melee poses.
Seeing this makes me realize that we really should have gotten a revived version of the GP02 in high grade form since the old model kit is......not good. Also I don't know why but looking at this made me think that build fighters NEEDED a GPO1 stand in, just for the fact of a GPO1 vs. GPO2 rematch but in gunpla form. At least we got the gundam breaker games for that type of fantasy but aside from that a pretty good review on this pretty lackluster kit!
Thank you. I'd say that the biggest limitation is the melee loadout that brings all the insufficiencies of the articulation to light. Other than that, the vast gimmick count is definitely enough to satisfy
Prefer the Ogre GN-X over the Ogre Physalis. The Ogre Physalis is way to busy looking for my taste. Maybe the GN Claws from the Raphael would give a much cleaner look, but am not a Designer. 😅 And great review! 🧡
To be fair to you, yes the GN-X does look way cleaner. And frankly, that might be better for value. I still like the GP-Rase-Two-Ten though, despite all its flaws. I just need some extra beams and wires to make it worthwhile
@@mj2005gundam oh btw I have this extra torso from hguc Hazel owsla mass production colors and it's backpack don't know what to do with it without ruining my already limited collection any idea or kits that can use that torso and backpack
The Ogre GN-X just lacks the firepower. At least that has all of its gimmicks included, whereas this you need extra kits and wires to have almost everything
looks nice, with the improved shoulder/forearm, interesting color, makes it look like a ripped Master Gundam. always felt the GP02A design was out of place and a letdown in what otherwise was a very decent and possibly the 1st passable gundam series against modern animation - almost admirable with its attempts at trying to be techincal with its script. would've been great if they baked a mobile suit mod and repaint like this kit into the storyline, a la sinanju - though I guess props for not falling into the char-red mobile suit trap.
This is kit was good on my opinion. Demonic big and scary.... Restrictions articulation? Who care about that if you have big two cool subs arms that can do anything for you instead 😎
It is a good kit, but it has some heavy limitations. And not all the gimmicks are provided or even illustrated in the instruction manual on how to DIY them
@@mj2005gundam Hey, atleast that limitations are small price to pay compared to the new gimmick in it. Right few of gimmick not even mentioned in manual but it still exist in the kit right? Also... That limitations somehow end up to be plus points since it resulted a solid kit like a brick that can stand on his own and holding all new accessories with almost no problem 😎
people don't like this kit!? PHFT Some people have no taste or imagination like Exia amazing it was nearly perfect but i saw potential for Perfection here and made it so with my Design
Its a weird design on top of weird design choice 1. Why the spike 2. Blade is asymetrical 3. It didn't appear much 4. Lots of funky gimmick, but aesthetically it suffered Where as amazing exia is just exia with edgier backpack, this 1 is just weird for weird reason, even the pilot is as just unlikeable (bully, but no heart of gold, not even that evil either)
There will also be some that just don't like this kit for its reuse of the original HG GP02A frame, especially those hoping for this to be a catalyst for a revive of that kit
@@mj2005gundam honestly I'm not sure why that's an issues the hguc GP02 was ahead if iits time and holds up today I'd say rivals current kits if not exceed modern kit in ways mine is tight stiff and great articulation and DOES hold up the shield perfectly

Thanks a lot. If the Gyancelot gets a reissue, I think I should check it out at some point

@@mj2005gundam yeah honestly out of the stardust memory suits the gerbera or something would’ve been better for close range

I always thought the knees were beam guns too, but this guy has so much firepower I can’t complain
They are beam guns

Now those are some big ol cannons
I’ve never been a fan of the Gp02 so I’ll probably not be picking it up. I love that head though
That head is absolutely menacing
Yay ty man i wanted a new review of this so noice. I really wished they made the hole for the canons
I really wish other reviewers were just as comprehensive. Then again, the manual wasn't
@@mj2005gundam oh btw I have this extra torso from hguc Hazel owsla mass production colors and it's backpack don't know what to do with it without ruining my already limited collection any idea or kits that can use that torso and backpack
Reminds me of sengoku astray
Because of dual swords and four arms?
@@mj2005gundam yeah, and the samurai like head
Still wished they did something similar with the ogre gnx, even tho this is nice i still kinda dislike the design 😢

I hope they keep their hands off the established events of the UC
was never a fan of the gp rasetsuten but might be interesting to kitbash with the original gp02 for the backpack if i can find it it cheap
I wish you luck

The bazooka barrels should be hollower cos they don't seem like cannons when plugged like that.
Paint them black and that's sorted. I don't want to have to see the internal structure through the barrels
@@mj2005gundam They don't have to be fully hollowed out, just a little bit like bazooka weapons typically are.
MJ are you going to buy the HG Gundam hajiroboshi 2nd form.
Yes
which kit or addon is the twin flame polearm from? ninpulse beams addon?
The hilt is from the HG Ninpulse Gundam, while the beams are from the HG Aegis Knight. That's what I used to make my makeshift polearm
@@mj2005gundam thanks!

The first time i saw this mobile suit i thought it was a combination between master gundam and gp02
I didn't see the Master until people started pointing them out
