One of my favourite gundam of all time. Had it since the first time it was released, displayed it very proudly after building it. You know what's disappointing about it? Bandai never released the Ver. Ka.
So awesome to see it lined up with the G-Lucifer and G-Arcane Full Dress!! 🙌 Probably my favorite “final form” of a Gundam to date. The kit definitely has some shortcomings and I wish the photon battery stickers had some accompanying molded-in details, but it’s got some undeniable shelf presence!
I loved this kit. Probably my favorite design of this series. Admittedly, the stickers did suck, but as you said,, the uv light effect is awesome. Great review as always man. I hope you have a good holiday, btw.
Having UV stickers is definitely what they've not been going for kits of recent. Having that beauty can help justify their use. Thank you, happy holidays to you too
I just found your channel, and I gotta say, I’m really excited to see you get big in the Gunpla scene, because I know it’s just a matter of time before it happens! I’m surprised I’m just now finding your channel, considering how concise, informative, and well-edited your reviews are. Bravo, man, keep up the awesome work! Now - time to go watch all your reviews hahah!
Were the shield arm parts painted blue after it was built? It really improves the look of an already super attractive kit! Also, I got mine from USA Gundam Store! They had him available for preorder for $30.00 if anyone can catch this comment soon!
Yep, I've painted the backpack arms blue, and I regretted it since painting the ball joint and backpack connection thickens the joints up too much. I'd definitely recommend masking them before painting the joints to avoid breakage
Sometimes it's the underappreciated ones that gets us interested. And to me, the only consistent flaw of the G-Reco kits is the articulation. Bar that, some are really quite good
I've never reviewed the Perfect Pack on my channel. You think Bandai listened to polls, then we have a serious backlog of community-voted kits that never saw the light besides the RG Epyon.
@@mj2005gundam true we never what we want but good release in future excited about the color accurate striker pack for eg. Looks great. And bothe ver kas are awesome
I was never a big fan of the G self nor was I A big fan of G Reco in the first place because I tried watching 6 episodes with my friends and honestly the show got really good by the time we got to episode 6 at the end and then we just gave up. Now this version of the gundam since it's the final form it definitely feels like a final form and I do like my mobile suits that have cool backpack guns that transform into a cool assault mode and those specific plastic blue parts that give off light are really cool and gives it a strong shelf presence. However all of those stickers is just Disa Sting and considering that it still has some semblance of issues I can definitely see why this is a suit yourself. At least it looks unique and cool even if it is a bit on the goofy side, good job!
Main reason why I say suit yourself is because it does its job, but it's very finicky to pose. I'm glad you still like the video though. If you have to check G-Reco out, please check the movies out instead
@@mj2005gundam Yeah, if the movies were bring up immediately as an alternative after we agreed to not watch the TV series, things would have been a tiny bit different lol.
The orange one is the G-Arcane (though the redder parts are actually customs of the “Full Dress” attachments that Bandai never made for it) and the mint and purple one is the G-Lucifer. That’s basically the main protagonist Gundam lineup by the end of the show/Movie V
I wish I can tell you, since it was reissued in like June or something. You might still get lucky on online stores, but until they can reliably reissue the G-Reco line, I don't trust that you'd be able to snag one unless you really keep your eyes peeled
Someone actually painted one into the Assault Mode colors, which looks fine I guess. Now I just want to see someone dumb enough to purchase one and paint it in Reflector Mode, or Torque Mode
I wish this wasnt the only g reco kit to get re prints (at least to my understandin?), i love so many designs from that show and i really wish there was some kind of way for a few of these designs to get a second chance
You're not wrong, this is one of, if not the only G-Reco kits to have been reprinted in recent years. We can only hope that they will reissue most, if not all of them for the 10th anniversary in 2024
@mj2005gundam 4 months later (Sorry lol) and I just got myself a new perfect pack, and I saw listings for the atmospheric pack version to be back ordered on some American hobby sites 🤔
I really wish this got a RG or a MG version. Such a cool looking design. Even a 2.0 with the way the new HGs are going would be amazing!
If they make an RG G-Self with color-changing plastic (think Hot Wheels' color shifters), I'm gonna jump on that
@@mj2005gundam same I've seen some custom gunpla that use color changing paint for phase shift armour
This kit really have vibe of star trek, the bright colours really show how "optimistic" gundam compared to others, yeah this is a must have in my book
It looks sparkly without any added gimmicky stuff the GBM stuff has. Sure it still divides opinions but still

Bandai never listens. I do still like the HG though despite its flaws and my mishaps
@@mj2005gundam i was so happy when G-Self won the ver Ka poll.
Never have i been that disappointed in Bandai years later 😂

It's a bit overly designed to my tastes, but it still looks beautiful
mine's 00 seven sword xn raiser
One of my favourite G-Reco kits tbh
Just a bit finicky is all

perfect timing..just got this kit for the holidays😊
Perfect! Have a sparkly introduction to the Christmas season. Just don't get caught up in the glitter lest you'd be deleted from reality

Thank you so much!
Loved building this kit. Had to give it the attention it deserves and paint those details that had stickers. Just felt wrong not to.
That is fair enough. I just used the stickers because they're reactive and I'm lazy
I wish this kit wasn’t so hard to get looks fun even with the stickers
Well, at least it's easier to obtain compared to the others in the line
Very Type V3 style video, love it keep up the work dude
Thanks! Glad you liked it

Great but haven't you done this before. Anyway good review and great job on this kit looks great. Sad no MG till date
No 1/100 FM as well

I havent watched the show, but this looks really cool! Might check out the show and possibly track this kit down
Check out the movies, those are way more tolerable. And if you like this kit, then you should definitely try to track it down
Now that is a fancy gundam!
Oh my, the pair at 2:14 looks lovely, the orange and pink/purple one. Are they all from Reconguista in G?
yeah, I think the purple one is called G-Lucifer or something similar
The orange one is the G-Arcane (though the redder parts are actually customs of the “Full Dress” attachments that Bandai never made for it) and the mint and purple one is the G-Lucifer. That’s basically the main protagonist Gundam lineup by the end of the show/Movie V
They're all from G-Reco
Wow the G-self perfect pack is amazing. switch online store or Physical store I get this kit from
I wish I can tell you, since it was reissued in like June or something. You might still get lucky on online stores, but until they can reliably reissue the G-Reco line, I don't trust that you'd be able to snag one unless you really keep your eyes peeled
Nah, for the extra color schemes I'll just rely on pure imagination
Someone actually painted one into the Assault Mode colors, which looks fine I guess. Now I just want to see someone dumb enough to purchase one and paint it in Reflector Mode, or Torque Mode
G-Self Gundam Perfect Pack+Mentor Gundam=customized into like Reborns Gundam & The O Sazaby
I am a bit lost as to what you're saying, my apologies
@@mj2005gundamIt's a combination of both the [Mentor Gundam]and [G-Self Gundam] with a mode altering similar to that of the [Reborns Gundam].
TSUKAME PURAIIIIIIIIIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
TSUKAME SUCCCCCESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
G no Reconguista~
That sticker might be pain in the ass.
It is indeed a pain to apply
I hope bandai make revive for this series :'
I like this gundam design, but the sticker is nightmare
It's just the G-Self with its overabundance of glowy parts that needed a lot of stickers. The rest that I've reviewed were fine
Do you need a black light to Display it like that ?????
Yes, you need a blacklight to display it glowing
@@mj2005gundam whay do they typically cost. And which ones are the better to go for.
I just want a FM at least Bandai, man.
Bandai says screw G-Reco. I'm interested in seeing what they'd do for it now that were closing in on its 10-year anniversary
@@mj2005gundam honestly, they say screw a lot of their work. lol. Kinda glad third party are doing some great work rn.
Is this a reprint?
Yes, a reprint from June 2023
Also first
